I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 167 - 156 The End

After dinner was over, Mu Ming finally hurried over to grab Mu Qianli.

"Little aunt, I need your autograph, I need an autograph."

"What are you talking about..."

"Gu... no, I mean, Uncle’s autograph, give it to me quick."

She playfully clung to Mu Qianli.

Mu Qianli spoke, exasperated, "Don’t just call out names, especially when we’re at work. If someone sees, keep your mouth shut!"

Mu Qianli thought back to when she suddenly called Pei Jinxi ’Uncle’ in front of so many people and felt goosebumps ready to fall off her body.

That was more than a little terrifying.

"How could I possibly see him? I’m in my office every day and rarely participate in other activities."

"How can you not see him in the office? Wouldn’t he go to the office?"

"He definitely won’t see me there. Wow, although Gu Xunyi, I remember he’s on good terms with Brother Hu, he wouldn’t just wander into someone else’s studio for no reason."

"???"

Mu Qianli suddenly felt her brain wasn’t working fast enough.

Gu Xunyi?

What did he have to do with anything?

Could it be... could it be...

She suddenly remembered their earlier conversation and woke up to the realization.

Could it be that they had mistaken her for Gu Xunyi?

Mu Qianli felt a lump in her throat, overwhelmed with a mix of disgust, speechlessness, and helplessness all at once, and found herself at a loss for what to say.

"Little aunt, little aunt, what’s wrong?"

Mu Ming stopped and looked at her.

"Nothing... let’s go."

Denying it now would only lead them to probe who her boyfriend really was.

Now she suddenly wasn’t sure, if they found out it was Pei Jinxi, whether her father might faint from a heart attack.

No wonder they all didn’t seem to care.

Gu Xunyi was several years older than her, and though he was also a star in the industry, the impression was significantly different.

Mu Qianli’s heart filled with panic as she anxiously made her way home.

On the other end, Fang Zongli laughed so hard over the phone upon hearing this that he was about to break his thigh slapping it.

"Enough laughing, what’s so funny? I don’t even know how to deal with this now, this misunderstanding is huge."

"Why don’t you just tell them that it’s you and Pei Jinxi who are a couple?"

"There was no mention of a boyfriend before. If I had said that, they would have been a bit surprised. But now, with a preconceived notion of Gu Xunyi, if I say it’s actually not him but Pei Jinxi, this 20-year-old guy, I’m afraid my dad might spit blood from the shock. The gap is a bit... large..."

"Hahaha," Fang Zongli laughed for a long while before saying, "Alright, I’m not going to talk to you anymore, I’m busy."

"Busy with what? It’s so late."

"Even if it’s late, I still have things to deal with."

Mu Qianli guessed that probably some young star had caused trouble again and needed her to fix it personally. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Mu Qianli gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Fang Zongli was still driving.

It had just struck 11 o’clock when she looked outside and caught sight of Lu Lizhe behind her.

He was trying to hail a cab on the roadside, looking very anxious.

Fang Zongli didn’t hesitate; she drove straight over.

She rolled down the window, and Lu Lizhe looked at her in surprise.

"What’s up? Emergency? Where do you need to go? I’ll give you a lift," offered Fang Zongli.

Lu Lizhe glanced around before saying, "There’s a crime scene that I need to get to. I drank at the gathering and didn’t bring my car."

"Oh, I’ll take you. Hop in."

"..."

Seeing his hesitation, Fang Zongli said, "What’s the matter? It’s also considered serving the people, something I ought to do, as police and public are all one family, right?"

"..."

Lu Lizhe pursed his lips, having forgotten what sort of person Fang Zong was—wild by nature.
