In the end, the scandal over Shi Yusheng, Jiang Sicheng, and Xuan Wen’s love triangle was cleared up.
But it was not the three involved who clarified it. It was Huo Xingchao.
Young Master Huo, long known on Weibo for being aloof and mysterious, published his first lengthy post, explaining the entire process of how he and Shi Yusheng had come to know and love each other.
He said he had been Shi Yusheng’s fan for a long time.
Earlier this year, the little fairy had suffered betrayal and hurt in her romantic life and was not doing well. Xing Pictures happened to be working with her then, and the two had met through work. Their relationship might have developed quickly, but their feelings were absolutely sincere.
Originally, Little Fairy Shi had not accepted his proposal so soon. But because of the child, they ultimately decided to explain things to the fans early rather than hide it.
Everything had been open and aboveboard, without any immoral conduct in their relationships.
Young Master Huo’s final sentence was worth savoring: Precisely because she had experienced betrayal, she would never betray someone else. After being hurt, rather than wallow in pointless grief or lash out, she chose to stride forward. That was her finest quality.
…
For the first time, Shi Yusheng discovered that Huo Xingchao was such a good writer.
So good that even she, who knew the whole truth, almost believed those seemingly ordinary sentences. Looking at the comments beneath his long post, she found that more than half said, “This made me cry.”
Made them cry?
Was it that moving?
“Enough. Stop playing with your phone. Too much radiation.”
Beside her, Huo Xingchao took the phone from her hand and gave her a drawing board, the sort children played with that cost a few dozen yuan.
“Can I…”
“No.”
…She really ought to install a camera at home and see whether they still found him moving!
Of course, apart from those moved by their love or feeling sorry for the little fairy, eighty percent of the people reading the statement had already begun gossiping about what “betrayal and hurt in her romantic life” and “experienced betrayal” meant.
In the end, they declared with certainty: He must mean Jiang Sicheng.
One look at his face, his lecherous gaze, dark under-eyes, and sleazy smile, and you knew he was a scumbag bound to cheat.
And Xuan Wen? Tsk, with that vicious gleam in her eyes, who knew what a formidable person she was!
Wow. A scumbag and a bitch. Truly a perfect match.
In recent years, some entertainers had survived cheating scandals. Quite a few, in fact.
But they were skilled actors who did not rely much on fans, or senior figures deeply established in the industry. Even then, whenever major news about them appeared, more than half the comments would still refer to their cheating.
Jiang Sicheng, however, was an idol heartthrob who relied almost entirely on fans. More importantly, this incident had directly offended Huo Xingchao. His public image plummeted, fans abandoned him in droves, and industry insiders were wary of Huo Xingchao’s involvement and rarely offered help. Recovery would be very difficult.
As for Xuan Wen, she had still been rising in her career. Once the system suddenly disappeared, she had fewer connections to rely on than even Jiang Sicheng.
But she had no time to consider that now. Huddled in a hospital chair, she was sunk in profound terror.
Sometimes, Shi Yusheng felt that marrying Huo Xingchao might not be such a reluctant choice after all.
At least, after spending time with him, if she now had to choose between Jiang Sicheng and Huo Xingchao, she would rather marry Huo Xingchao.
Even if Jiang Sicheng had never cheated.
Although she was still young, she had debuted in her teens and seen every kind of “love” and transaction in this industry. To her, what mattered most in a boyfriend or husband was not how handsome, romantic, or considerate he was.
It was a sense of security.
For instance, the prenuptial agreement Huo Xingchao signed with her before they registered their marriage made her feel very secure.
Once married, all their property would become marital property, divided equally in a divorce. She would have the child, and he would pay a substantial annual support payment.
In other words, the initiative in a divorce rested with her. If they divorced, Shi Yusheng would lose nothing but her youth, while Huo Xingchao would lose more than half his wealth and one sperm.
Mother Shi carefully read the agreement, even asking a lawyer friend to examine it page by page. Finally, she looked at the man’s handsome face and her daughter’s belly, waved a hand, and declared that this marriage could go ahead.
By the day of the wedding ceremony, Shi Yusheng had already given birth to an adorable little girl.
The wedding was held on a beach, with the setting and design in Shi Yusheng’s favorite free-spirited, romantic style. All day, Miss Shi kept grinning and laughing.
During the exchange of rings, the whole gathering fell silent, holding their breath in anticipation. Only Miss Shi kept giggling, until she made all the guests laugh too.
Shi Yusheng smiled. When the man bent toward her, she put on a proud expression.
“Huo Xingchao, from today onward, I permit you to be my fan. If you dare stop being my fan or become some other woman’s or man’s fan, I’ll remove you from my fan club.”
“All right.”
The man smiled. “I promise,”
“for the rest of my life, I’ll cheer for you alone.”
