Just as the netizens gathered around waiting for an answer, that night, Hai Rui finally released a statement to clarify everything. However, the contents of the statement were enough to blow everyone's mind.
"Bei Chendong and President Mo are cousins!"
"The Mo Family sure has strong genetics. Are all the capable people in the world from the Mo Family?"
"This explains why Han Xiner can continue to be Bei Chendong's a.s.sistant while working for Hai Rui. It turns out they are family."
"Phwoar! Is this the first slap on Luo Yi's face? Haha..."
"This is Hai Rui's family business, yet everyone is getting ecstatic over it."
While all this was happening, Bei Chendong and Han Xiner were at home exchanging glances the entire day. Han Xiner was obviously angry because Bei Chendong had not said anything to the public yet.
"Dinner time," Han Xiner said angrily to Bei Chendong who was sitting on the sofa.
Bei Chendong stood up, wrapped his arm around Han Xiner and pulled her onto his lap, "You've been glaring at me all day. Your anger should have subsided by now, right?"
"Why would it?" Han Xiner pushed Bei Chendong away. "You kissed another woman and now she's causing all this drama. My reputation has been ruined. How are you going to make up for it?"
"Are you sure I kissed another woman?" Bei Chendong raised an eyebrow. "Have you not considered the possibility that it was just the angle that the photo was taken?"
"What type of angle makes people look like they're French kissing?" Han Xiner obviously didn't believe his words. This was something that had been bothering her for quite some time. Even if Bei Chendong did it to get a response from her, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Did you think, with my acting ability, I wouldn't be able to do it?" Bei Chendong asked in seriousness before explaining, "The truth is, I really didn't kiss her. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. It is in my bedroom drawers."
"If you hadn't spoken suggestively, would Miss Luo have taken things so seriously?"
"She merely wants to use me for publicity...It's a mutual benefit," Bei Chendong replied. "I admit that I didn't handle this matter honorably, but it doesn't mean that I treat stuff like this casually."
"How would I know..." In reality, Han Xiner already believed him. But, Han Xiner was a woman and women always denied their true feelings. Especially after spending an entire month feeling upset, to find out that it was all a part of his plan, how could she not feel angry?
"You don't need to know. Go get changed, I'll take you out to eat something good," Bei Chendong said as he pinched Han Xiner's nose. "Just wear something casual, no need to get dressed up."
Han Xiner did feel bored from spending an entire day at home, so, even though she knew there were plenty of reporters waiting for them outside, she still craved some fresh air. In the end, she casually changed into a sweats.h.i.+rt and put on a cap.
Bei Chendong also took the opportunity to change into something casual. As they left the house, he protected Han Xiner like an average man.
"Where are we going?" Han Xiner asked.
"There's a place that I've been wanting to go to for quite some time," Bei Chendong did not give her an address, but his tone was decisive.
Han Xiner expected him to take her to some fancy place, but, he instead took her to one of the busiest streets of Beijing and dragged her into the crowd.
"Hey, don't you think you're playing with fire? This is one of the busiest streets in Beijing, if you get discovered, you will have nowhere to run."
"What am I afraid of?" Bei Chendong held onto Han Xiner's hand confidently and continue walking forward. In fact, when he spotted an event in the distance, he directly dragged Han Xiner onto the stage with him.
The location had a constant flow of people, so the organiser's first reaction was to a.s.sume that Bei Chendong was a troublemaker. Just as he was about to step forward and reason with him, Bei Chendong removed his face mask and shocked him speechless.
"Bei...Bei Chendong?"
"That's right, it's me," Bei Chendong said without any intention to hide his ident.i.ty. "Lend me your microphone and I'll help you promote for free."
