I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"How come he's never told me he has a fiancée!"

“Uh… yes, she was his fiancée ‘before’,” Liu Ruying quickly emphasized, “but not anymore. I’m just his assistant now.”

"My fiancée and assistant, you're talking like you're from some female-oriented novels..." Lu Chujiu muttered to herself.

Qin Yunshang was not satisfied with Liu Ruying's explanation. She clenched her fist and said:

"That Chen Liang, he even has a fiancée now, that's impressive! I'll have to settle the score with him later!"

Lu Qingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "On what grounds are you seeking revenge against him? Do you have feelings for him...?"

Qin Yunshang blushed: "Mind your own business when it comes to your idols!"

Xiao Qing was also very curious, so she leaned close to Liu Ruying and whispered, "How come you're his fiancée? Do you have some connection with his family?"

“Uh… this is a long story,” Liu Ruying glanced at her cousin, feeling a little guilty. “Why don’t we talk about something else?”

“No, let’s talk about this.” Liu Ruyan moved sideways like a shadow and stared intently at her.

"No, let's not talk about this..." Liu Ruying's fingers nervously intertwined. "Speaking of which, we came to see Chen Ya, but he's not here right now. Shouldn't we..."

"Let's talk about your fiancée," Lu Qingxuan said, crossing her arms. "Actually, I'm not entirely sure what happened between you and Chen Ya."

"Yeah, how did you become an assistant again? What did he do to you?"

The women's eyes, like lighthouses, all shone on Liu Ruying, making her sweat profusely.

She now wishes she could slap her past self twice for being so rude.

To say in front of this group that she is Chen Ya's fiancée is like saying she is a tiger in front of a group of Wu Songs.

He can't even pick a safe time to show off! Ugh!

At this moment, Lu Qianzi stepped in to smooth things over:

"Sigh, that's all old news. But what you were saying earlier, about my brother being this or that person, and what his relationship is with Miss Ruyan? What exactly do you mean by that?"

Xiao Qing turned to look at her: "Your brother won four Nobel Prizes in Literature, didn't you know?"

"Huh?" Lu Qianzi looked bewildered. "Are you kidding me?"

“Look at how serious Liu Ruyan is, do you think this could be a joke?” Xiao Qing rubbed her head. “I almost hope it’s a joke. Chen Liang has suddenly become a mysterious Nobel Prize-winning author, oh my god…”

"Huh? Chen Liang is really a writer?" This time, it was Qin Yunshang who was surprised.

Lu Qingxuan said, "With JX's abilities, what's so surprising about winning four Nobel Prizes in Literature? Let's talk about his fiancée instead..."

"Wait, wait... what does this have to do with JX?"

“Chen Ya is JX!” Lu Qingxuan said, looking at Qin Yunshang.

A long silence followed.

"Huh?" Lu Qianzi broke the silence first. "When did my brother become JX again?"

"You didn't know your brother is JX??" Lu Qingxuan was very surprised. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Oh right, you weren't there that day..."

Liu Ruyan patted Lu Qianzi on the shoulder and said, "You should get to know your brother better."

Lu Qianzi said with a sob in her voice, "All I know is that he's the boss of Beichen! He's also... he's also the boss of that Jiang Lizhi guy. You guys are suddenly talking to me about the Nobel Prize and JX stuff, how would I know? I have a bunch of platinum JX records at home..."

"Wait a minute!" Qin Yunshang caught something strange in her words. "Boss Beichen?"

Xiao Qing was also surprised: "What kind of gossip is this now?"

Liu Ruying pressed her hand to her chest and said, "Yes, I'm from Beichen, and Chen Ya is the boss of Beichen, so I kept calling him boss... By the way, I've completely forgotten about being his fiancée. We Beichen people don't care about that at all..."

A moment of silence fell over everyone. After the silence, Qin Yunshang asked:

Who is Chen Ya?

"Chen Ya is Chen Liang!"

"Stop, stop," Qin Yunshang said, somewhat confused, gesturing with her hands in front of her. "If Chen Liang is this... this Chen Ya, then this Chen Ya is a writer, a JX (a derogatory term for a certain type of business), and a boss..."

Qin Yunshang grabbed her head and rubbed it wildly, "Ahhh! You guys are making me so confused!"

Xiao Qing's expression was complicated: "I understand, I'm confused right now too."

“Same.” Lu Qianzi said with a bitter face, “I’ve been bombarded with these sensational things repeatedly, and now my heart can’t take it anymore.”

When Lu Qianzi suddenly learned that her idol was her own brother, she felt a mix of emotions. She felt like she had swallowed a fly, as if her lover had ended up as her sibling, and she also regretted spending too much money on the record...

If I had known, I would have just had Chen Ya take her there!

Jin Lan, who had been listening silently the whole way, finally spoke up: "You mean to say that Chen Liang is actually JX?"

After receiving everyone's silent approval, Jin Lan jumped up and clapped her hands:

"I knew it! No wonder he's so good, he's JX, that makes sense!"

Lu Chujiu asked curiously from the side, "Aren't you surprised?"

“It’s surprising,” Jin Lan said with a smile, “but the truth has finally come out. It wasn’t that we were too bad, it was because he was JX.”

In fact, like Lu Chujiu, Jin Lan was shocked and felt a little lost after learning Chen Liang's identity.

But after the initial disappointment, she felt a greater sense of relief. From the moment she boarded the ship to Japan, the more she learned about Chen Liang, the more she realized that he and she were from different worlds, or rather, from different dimensions.

Knowing his true identity now only confirms that they truly are from two different worlds.

Looking back on her past immature behavior and the anger she felt towards Chen Liang, besides regret, she felt mostly bitterness. The bitterness of reality.

The makeup artist came in through the door and asked, "Ladies, are you ready for your makeup?"

But nobody paid any attention to her, and the low air pressure at the scene was almost causing a collective altitude sickness.

"I don't believe it," Qin Yunshang suddenly said. "I don't believe it at all."

"what?"

Lu Qingxuan didn't understand why, even after so many people had told her the truth, she still couldn't believe it. How could Qin Yunshang be so stubborn?

However, she herself is also very stubborn. The two have very similar personalities in some ways, so they easily argue.

"I'm going to call my sister and ask her what she's trying to do by placing Chen Liang next to me."

Qin Yunshang sniffled aggrievedly as she operated her phone.

She felt betrayed in her relationship and now all she wanted to do was smash her head against Chen Ya's body until she died, or smash Chen Ya's head against her body until she died.

Or he could crash into Chen Ya, shout "Sheep, come!" and both of them would die.

……

In the front row of the main live broadcast stage, Qin Yun Chu took out her constantly vibrating small phone, glanced at it, and said:

"Oh no, my sister knows Chen Ya's identity."

Gu Yuqing leaned closer to look: "How did she know?"

Qin Yunchu glanced back and said, "It must have been Ruying and her gang who told her."

After saying that, she pinched her thigh hard: "I shouldn't have told them back then. Those little girls have mouths that are longer than ducks."

Gu Yuqing curled her lip in disdain and said, "So what if he knows? I'd love for the whole world to know his identity, so he won't go on incognito visits every day and seduce innocent girls everywhere."

"..." Qin Yun Chu was speechless. She actually felt that what Gu Yu Qing said made some sense.

Especially his younger sister, who seems to be rapidly sliding into the abyss of "ignorant little sister".

"What should I do? She asked me if it was true," Qin Yun Chu said. "Should I answer her?"

Jiang Xinhai glanced at Qin Yunchu's phone screen and said:

"JX, writer, boss of Beichen... So, they don't know that Chen Ya made his fortune by making movies?"

"Making a movie?!"

Qin Yun Chu exclaimed in surprise. Jiang Xin Hai tilted his head and looked at her, saying, "You don't know?"

"Hehe...I wonder what movies he's been in?"

Jiang Xinhai narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "That's something I can't say, I can't say. How is your sister?"

Qin Yun Chu tossed her phone aside and said, "Never mind her, I was terrified like that back then. But what movie was it anyway?"

Once Qin Yun Chu's gossip engine started, it couldn't stop, but Jiang Xin Hai was mischievous. The more curious Qin Yun Chu was, the less she would say, teasing Qin Yun Chu until she couldn't resist the itch.

At that moment, at Narita Airport.

Xia You encountered someone she wasn't sure whether she should greet or not.

After hesitating for a long time, she picked up her suitcase and walked over, reaching out to touch the person's back: "Hi."

The girl turned around and immediately smiled brightly: "Xiao You? What a coincidence! I really didn't expect to run into you here!"

"Hmm, what a coincidence." Xia You nodded.

"Are you also going to see Chen Ya? It seems the concert is about to start."

"Hmm. He invited you too?"

"Of course, he wouldn't dare not invite me," the girl said with a hint of pride.

So, the two naturally walked side by side.

Xia You was hesitant to greet the girl mainly because she wasn't very familiar with her.

In that group, apart from Chen Ya herself, she wasn't really familiar with most of the other people.

And this one was the one she was least familiar with.

Su Xiaonuan.

This is the legendary childhood sweetheart of Chen Ya.

The person who has known Chen Ya the longest.

Chapter 478 The Musician

Su Xiaonuan has a round face and round eyes, looking like a college student who is still quite young. She looks much younger than her actual age.

No one would have guessed that this person would be a well-known up-and-coming director in China. With just one phone call, movie stars and popular actresses would flock to her to take her roles.

But Xia You wasn't very good at dealing with her.

She was 10 years older than her, and their interests, family backgrounds, and social circles were completely different. They even watched different cartoons when they were young.

Upon closer reflection, it became clear that the two had nothing in common except for Chen Ya.

But given the situation involving just the two of them, Xia You felt a little... embarrassed to bring up Chen Ya's name so abruptly.

So she and Su Xiaonuan didn't exchange more than a few words until they left the airport.

It wasn't until they were in the car that Su Xiaonuan broke the awkward silence and spoke first.

"You came to Japan right after finishing your college entrance exam?"

Xia You hadn't expected her to bring this up suddenly, so she nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

"Your parents weren't worried about you?" Su Xiaonuan asked again.

“I didn’t tell them,” Xia You said.

"After finishing the college entrance exam, instead of going out and having fun with your classmates or telling your parents, you immediately rushed to Japan to see Chen Ya," Su Xiaonuan said slowly. "You must really like him."

Xia You was struck by those words, her face flushed red, and she opened her mouth, stammering but not knowing what to say.

Su Xiaonuan sighed, and like a caring older sister, she spoke softly:

"But I can understand. That's how it is in a relationship. You want to be together every day. If you don't see him for a day, you want to rush to his side. I've been there too."

It took Xia You a while to catch her breath. She stammered, "I...I'm not in a relationship. I only see him as a friend. He invited me, so I came. I...I...I..."

However, Su Xiaonuan seemed not to hear her explanation at all.

Su Xiaonuan touched her face and frowned, saying, "It's a pity that you two are too far apart in age, otherwise you would really be a good match. Your father also has a good impression of him. If you two could get married, the political landscape of the capital would definitely be turned upside down again. It's quite interesting to think about..."

Xia You inwardly blamed her for speaking without tact. Despite not being close to her, she could still talk about other people's private affairs so recklessly in front of them, completely disregarding their feelings, just like a gossipy old woman at the village entrance.

However… in the shadows inside the taxi, Xia You’s face was flushed red, like an apple—to be honest, she really wanted Su Xiaonuan to talk more about this.

It wasn't that she particularly liked Chen Ya... Yes, that's right, she did like Chen Ya quite a bit, but she had never considered marriage or anything like that... She simply wanted to hear Su Xiaonuan's perspective on Chen Ya's marriage prospects, since she was Chen Ya's childhood sweetheart.

However, Su Xiaonuan seemed to suddenly sense her feelings and never mentioned the topic again. After a moment of silence, Xia You's heart began to itch.
