I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 109 - 110: You’ve been deceived, haven’t you?

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaoyu, sneakily glancing at each other, all thinking that here she goes again, stirring up trouble.

But indeed, everyone was really curious about Mu Qianli’s boyfriend.

She, mingling in the entertainment industry, had now made considerable fame, yet she managed to have a boyfriend in secret. That’s certainly a juicy story not seen by the outside world, and as fellow classmates, they had the privilege to feast on this fresh gossip. It was a different feeling.

"Qian Li got a boyfriend, huh? Who is it? Why didn’t she bring him along? Do we know him?"

The chubby class representative immediately inquired.

Mu Qianli played with her hair and did not plan to reveal anything, "You don’t know him; he’s not one of our classmates."

"Oh... I see."

Everyone thought that must mean he’s probably not a celebrity; if he were, they might have had an inkling.

"I thought it must have been some major star because, after all, the men Qian Li knows these days are surely famous."

Mu Qianli smiled ambiguously while Gu Xiaoyu’s expression changed slightly, and she said intentionally, "Well, that’s not necessarily true. It might really be some major star, but Qian Li just can’t say."

Mu Qianli looked at her and stated bluntly, "If you’re going to be so passive-aggressive, why not just come out with it?"

"..."

Gu Xiaoyu really wanted to blurt it out, but she restrained herself.

She wasn’t afraid of Mu Qianli; she was afraid of Pei Jinxi.

She knew that if she spilled the beans, he would surely blame her.

Gu Xiaoyu didn’t want a moment of verbal satisfaction to earn Pei Jinxi’s hatred.

"It’s your private matter, if you’re not saying, of course, I won’t say it either."

Gu Xiaoyu added resentfully, "But it’s really awkward, isn’t it? Having a relationship but not letting anyone know, that’s bound to cause problems sooner or later. Is it you who doesn’t want people to know, or is it him? If it’s him, then as a classmate, I must warn you. You might be getting played. It’s just you who thinks you’re in a relationship, but in fact, he might just be fooling around. Since nobody knows, he could just get bored, dump you, and still be free as a bird."

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaoyu, clearly aware that she must know who Mu Qianli’s boyfriend was, but she wasn’t spilling the beans.

Her passive-aggressiveness reached new heights, yet she still acted so innocently.

She really had a knack for it.

Mu Qianli let out a chuckle, "What are you suggesting, that next time I should take the opportunity to capture some evidence just in case I get fooled? Hmm, you’re actually reminding me, not a bad suggestion. After I take them, I’ll let you appreciate the photos and have you witness for me."

What?

She intended to capture Pei Jinxi.

That was not what Gu Xiaoyu meant.

"Relax, I was kidding." Seeing Gu Xiaoyu’s flustered expression, Mu Qianli steered the conversation back, "Gu Xiaoyu, your attempts at sowing discord are far from professional. Are you suggesting that if I don’t expose it, it means I’m being deceived? Are you just trying to say I’m being played? You can make relationships sound so complicated. It’s just dating; it’s not like a breakup is life-ending. When we are together, we’re happy, and if we break up, I’ll just focus on my work. Honestly, life goes on either way."

Listening to her, the crowd really felt like applauding Mu Qianli, especially the women present, as some of them stood up and said, "Exactly, I think Qian Li’s attitude is truly wise. We, as women, aren’t only about relationships; we won’t die without a man, and breakups are not the end of the world. Gu Xiaoyu, you’ve got love-brain; being afraid of being deceived? Qian Li is wealthy and successful; even if she breaks up with this guy, she can find another."

Gu Xiaoyu was seething with anger.

How could they all talk so fluently in Mu Qianli’s defense?

Mu Qianli really knew how to steer the conversation—within a few sentences, she had diverted the topic entirely.

Fuelled by rage, Gu Xiaoyu said directly, "Fine, you comfort yourself as much as you like. I do think you’re being played. You know it too; he won’t go public with you. You’re just a tool. You seem smart, but really, you’re just like you were in college, fooled by An Shan, mistaking the love letters intended for me as if for you. Now it’s the same; you mistake someone playing you for being in a relationship..."

However, at that moment, someone from the back suddenly exclaimed.

"Isn’t that Pei Jinxi?"
