"You can't talk so happily, you only show me this expression occasionally," Xiao Feng accused.
"Really?" Tang Tang feigned innocence, blinking her eyes. "Then I'm truly sorry. Perhaps you're not as cute as Xu Jiayi."
Tang Tang's words could have infuriated Xiao Feng to death.
However, Xiao Feng remained composed, taking a deep breath. "Let's go for a hot spring together this weekend. A friend told me about a good place, want to go?"
Tang Tang actually had feelings for Xiao Feng, but she wouldn't always agree to everything he said, sometimes deliberately causing him trouble or giving him a cold shoulder.
"Let me see, let me think. After all, we're both very busy," Tang Tang deliberately stalled Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng naturally knew this. "Miss, I've already made the reservation. You wouldn't want me to go alone, would you? That would be too pathetic."
"Go alone?" Tang Tang narrowed her eyes at Xiao Feng. "What do you mean by that? Are you bringing a mixed-gender group?"
"It's for couples," Xiao Feng replied directly.
Tang Tang immediately gave Xiao Feng a dismissive look. "Your intentions are suspect."
Hearing Tang Tang's words, Xiao Feng widened his eyes, deliberately putting on a wronged expression. "Where did I? That's exactly how it is. They asked me how many people, male or female, they were the ones who were too clever, it has nothing to do with me."
Tang Tang watched Xiao Feng explain himself, and she was secretly delighted. Sometimes, Tang Tang deliberately teased Xiao Feng, making him flustered while she secretly enjoyed it.
As soon as Xiao Feng finished his explanation, the waiter brought a glass of water. Xiao Feng gulped it down and looked at Tang Tang pitifully, "Can you agree? I've already explained so much to you."
Tang Tang deliberately acted indifferent, then pretended to consider, when in reality, she was just toying with Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng, on the other hand, stared intently at Tang Tang, hoping she would agree.
So, Tang Tang deliberately said, "How about this, I just thought about it, I really have nothing planned for the weekend. Besides, Shi Xinxin is in America, and I'll be a bit bored on the weekend, so I'll go with you."
Hearing that Tang Tang had finally agreed, Xiao Feng was ecstatic. After all, Xiao Feng had prepared a surprise for Tang Tang on this hot spring trip.
"That's great, thank you! You've saved me from going alone, how miserable that would have been," Xiao Feng said, reaching out to hold Tang Tang's hand, looking extremely excited.
Seeing Xiao Feng excited like a child, Tang Tang found it amusing.
But Tang Tang still deliberately teased him, "Come on, Young Master Xiao Feng. If I didn't go with you, wouldn't you just find other beautiful women? You have plenty of those charming girls around you."
Xiao Feng puffed out his chest, looking exceptionally devoted. "What charming girls? I have absolutely no interest in them. Tang Tang, my gaze has always been fixed on you."
"Is that so?" Tang Tang deliberately questioned Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng nodded very seriously, as if it were a sacred matter, looking utterly certain.
Xiao Feng's demeanor made Tang Tang very happy, and she even felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
She recalled that when she first learned she had a fiancé, Tang Tang had been extremely disgusted. She had even thought of ways to escape this so-called childhood engagement.
But now, after spending so much time together, Tang Tang felt that Xiao Feng wasn't that unbearable.
More importantly, Tang Tang felt that she had developed subtle feelings for Xiao Feng.
In fact, the day after Xinxin left the city, Xu Jiayi already missed Shi Xinxin. He began planning when he could visit Shi Xinxin, preferably within the next week or two, to express his longing for her.
Xu Jiayi thought to himself.
"Jiayi ge, something's wrong, something's wrong."
At that moment, Xu Jiayi was sitting in his office contemplating these matters when his assistant suddenly rushed in looking very anxious.
Xu Jiayi found it somewhat exasperating, as his assistant was always like this, always making a fuss.
"What is it?" Xu Jiayi put away his thoughts and asked the assistant with a helpless tone.
The assistant then excitedly told Xu Jiayi, "Jiayi ge, it's out online."
Xu Jiayi didn't pay much attention to the assistant's agitated words. "What's out online?"
The assistant directly handed the tablet he was holding to Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi glanced at it casually, and to his surprise, it was a photo of him and Tang Tang seeing Shi Xinxin off at the airport yesterday.
And, as luck would have it, the photos captured the moment Xu Jiayi hugged Shi Xinxin, as well as him and Tang Tang leaving the airport and entering a coffee shop.
Xu Jiayi leaped up from his chair. "Who did this!"
Seeing Xu Jiayi like this, the assistant knew he was furious.
The assistant hurriedly swallowed and whispered the name of the paparazzi magazine. "It's that magazine, 'Brother Catch Is Invincible,' they specialize in breaking entertainment news. I didn't expect you to be photographed, Jiayi ge."
Xu Jiayi gritted his teeth in anger. "I was in too much of a hurry, only thinking about Shi Xinxin, and didn't even notice I was being photographed. I haven't made a public appearance in so long, and this darn 'Brother Catch Is Invincible' still managed to get a shot of me."
Regarding this, the assistant also seemed helpless. "Come on, Jiayi ge. You were famous throughout the entertainment industry back then, and you just stepped back. It's inevitable that there are many legends about you. And look at the photos, you're only wearing a baseball cap, that's not enough. You practically invited the reporters to see you."
Xu Jiayi scratched his head in frustration, even becoming somewhat exasperated. "I really didn't expect these paparazzi to be so ruthless."
"Jiayi ge, your topic's traffic is soaring right now. You need to think of a solution, this can't go on like this," the assistant was also very worried. After all, scandals involving relationships were the worst for young celebrities.
However, Xu Jiayi wasn't just worried for himself. It was because Shi Xinxin and Tang Tang were also exposed in those photos.
