“Don’t tell me you don’t know about it yet. It’s on the headlines that you were discovered to be hugging and kissing a man. It’s supposedly a new artist from the production team. Hey, what do you mean by this? You would rather have a new artist than me?”

“…”

Lin Che had an ominous feeling about this and quickly hung up the call.

She then picked up her phone to check out the headlines.

When she saw the headlines, she was stunned speechless.

What the hell was this?

The new artist in the production team?

It was Gu Jingze.

A photo of her and Gu Jingze had been taken.

She put her hand to her forehead as she looked at the photo. It was a side view of them, but people who knew them and looked at the photo carefully would be able to recognize that it was Gu Jingze.

How could Li Mingyu not have recognized him?

Lin Che turned her head and saw that Gu Jingze had already walked over.

Lin Che asked, “What are we going to do now… You’ve been exposed…”

Gu Jingze lowered his head, took a look, and then looked at Lin Che, “If you mind, I can get people to seal up the news. But my face has already been seen. Even if we seal up the news now, people will still find out eventually that this person is me.”

Lin Che looked at him. “Although exposing this will bring about a lot of trouble, I’m more worried if it’ll bring you any trouble.”

Gu Jingze wasn’t an ordinary person after all. If people found out about their relationship, she had no idea what trouble it’d bring him.

Gu Jingze took Lin Che’s hand, pulling the worried Lin Che into his embrace as he looked at her. “The reason I’ve been hiding from all the media and people for so many years is that I was worried about my own safety. But things are different now. I’m no longer the head of the Gu family. I not longer have to be worried about the entire family, and only have to care about us. Moreover, we have no idea if in the current world, if it’s safer for us to hide from all the gazes and secretly develop or to appear before the public and have everyone looking at me, knowing who I am.”

Lin Che looked at him. “Really?”

Gu Jingze nodded. “Since there’s no way of hiding it anymore, then why not just admit it openly? I also hope that the whole world will know that you’re my wife, and prevent everyone else from harboring ideas about you.”

He lowered his head, put his forehead against hers, and mumbled intimately.

Lin Che’s heard relaxed slowly as she thought of everyone knowing that she and Gu Jingze were a couple.

With everyone witnessing their happiness.

That was also a very blissful thing.

She looked at him and thought of how many rich businessmen had already started to face the media, appearing before the public even if there weren’t anything important. They would appear on television shows, attend talk shows, and let people know of their experience and thoughts. They became celebrity businessmen.

It might be because more people realized that in this era where the entertainment industry was booming, this would open up more business opportunities for them. Moreover, they no longer had to care about their lives being watched by others. Being open also seemed a lot more relaxing.

Lin Che thought that maybe they could give this a try.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and nodded, gently wrapping her arms around his neck.

“I also hope that everyone knows that you’re my husband.”

Leaving her mark and letting everyone know that Gu Jingze was hers, and that no one could harbor ideas about him.

Their gazes met and they smiled, leaning closer together.

Since they decided not to care about this news, she didn’t give any reply.

When Li Mingyu saw that she had hung up the call on him directly, he tried to call again.

Lin Che slowly picked up the phone and asked, “What is it?”

“Why did you hang up so hurriedly? Are you feeling guilty?”

Lin Che said, “You’re a president of a company, so why are you paying attention to these gossips? You’ve seen it when the news has just gone up. Are you constantly keeping an eye on gossips?”

“What do you know? This is called caring about the current news. One can only follow the trend by knowing all the news there are, taking action before others.”

“Haha.”

“You haven’t told me what this is about.”

“Why are you so concerned? Go show concern about other current news.”

Lin Che hung up the call again. This time around, when she saw that Li Mingyu had called again, she couldn’t be bothered to pick it up anymore.

The news was left there to develop, with no one giving any response.

Lin Che’s first Weibo post had a commotion breaking out. Quite a number of fans asked in the comments, “Who is that person?”

“We believe in Lin Che. Lin Che, come out and say something. Is what they say true?”

“Lin Che, it can’t be that you’ve really started to like a new artist, right? Who is that person? Don’t end up getting used. We’re very worried!”

“It that someone without much fame? It can’t be that he’s using you, right? Lin Che, please give us a response.”

Lin Che felt very helpless as other people let their guesses run wild. However, she didn’t know what she should be saying.

Yu Minmin called. “Since they’ve released this photo, they definitely have other photos. We’ll see what they have first, let them release the photos, and then give a response. This will prevent them from correcting themselves, and will give them a slap in the face.”

“En. Since they dare to offend me like this, then I’m going to see them slapping their own faces.”

“Haha, they definitely have no idea who they’ve offended. Mr. Gu won’t wipe these paparazzi out, right?”

“He won’t. I don’t think he’s very angry about this.”

“Yes, yes, yes. The ones exposed are the two of you. If it was you with someone else, these paparazzi would definitely be wiped out.”

Lin Che thought about it and agreed.

Lin Che knew about these. In the beginning, no one knew about how this paparazzi company worked when they first came out. Therefore, when troubles popped up, everyone would rush to get their public relations to handle the news and give an explanation for the cases.

It was later on that they realized that the company seemed to have their grasp on other stuff. They would purposely wait until you’ve given an explanation before they release more things to slap you in the face.

After a few more repetitions, everyone understood how they worked.

Later on, when trouble popped up, they no longer rushed to get their public relations to handle the matter. They would secretly pay attention to the news, and then, after the paparazzi company had released all the news they had and had nothing else on their hands, the artists’ companies would then come out to give their explanation.

The situation would develop a lot better if they did this.

Therefore, the battle between celebrities and paparazzi was also slowly developing. Everyone was learning from each other, fighting against one another. They’d gather all of their experience, and then their battle would level up.

Lin Che didn’t say anything more and just kept an eye on the headlines.

When the paparazzi company saw that Lin Che didn’t give any reaction to this, they knew that she didn’t wish to spend any money.

They hadn’t thought that the well-known Lin Che would be such a scrooge.

They immediately started plan B, finding more merchants to have advertisements with them, for their next release.

When the merchants saw the traffic volume brought by Lin Che’s news, they immediately gushed forth, spending quite a lot of money to sponsor them.

They felt very happy. Very soon, the next piece of news was exposed.

Lin Che and the new artist, Zhou Yu, were caught hugging and kissing in the room. Their postures, the way they tangled together, their actions…

It really made one blush.

A video clip was uploaded onto the Internet just like that.
