I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 218 - 208: Someone Suspects Pei Jinxi

Mu Qianli couldn’t believe it when she opened the trending searches.

"Mu Qianli spotted at a luxury residential area, with a possible male companion seeing her off, not sure if it’s the boyfriend she was recently photographed holding hands with."

In the photo, Mu Qianli was standing at the entrance of the apartment building, with a shadow inside that looked like a man...

Yes, it just looked like a man.

But these paparazzi were really too much, Fang Zongli, who was closest to her, got cropped out by them.

Mu Qianli felt a sudden chill in her heart; these paparazzi were going to ruin her...

"I knew these paparazzi would definitely come for secret shots. Luckily, I was clever... Ah, never mind, Qian Li, just ignore it. I’ll go online and reveal a bit as a friend, to defend you. Just keep playing dead on your main account."

Fang Zongli said as she opened her mobile Weibo and began posting.

Unlike other circles with "I have a friend," what often pops up in the entertainment circle is "I am someone’s friend, I can’t stand it anymore and am coming forward to defend them."

Fang Zongli was also well-versed in this, the female president of a PR company went to the scene herself and posted directly, "Hello everyone, I am Mu Qianli’s bestie, and I just find it odd—are these paparazzi not professional these days? Could you not capture the whole scene in one shot? Do I not deserve to be in the frame? That was my residential complex. I was just passing by the entrance with Mu Qianli, and afterward, I vanished. Did I evaporate into thin air?"

She had someone quickly boost this post into the trending searches.

Netizens saw it and really started cursing the paparazzi.

"Nowadays, these paparazzi and marketing accounts really are desperate for traffic."

"A single picture starts the story, and the tale follows."

"I heard before that Hong Kong media are intrusive; they dream up some gossip one night and write about it the next day. Now it seems marketing accounts might take whatever plots they read in novels the night before and turn them into next day’s news!"

Seeing everyone distracted successfully, Mu Qianli’s heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back down.

She went back to the bedroom, grabbed a big bottle of water, and just after taking a few gulps, she saw a message from Mu Zhenghua.

"Are you done for? Got photographed, didn’t he at least come out to acknowledge it? I knew he was unreliable."

At this time, he still had to add to the chaos.

Mu Qianli snapped her phone onto the bedside.

Lying down for most of the day, she couldn’t sleep and finally reopened Weibo and WeChat.

Pei Jinxi was messaging her.

"Missing you, can’t sleep alone."

Mu Qianli missed him too...

She had recently gotten used to sleeping with him, and now the empty bed felt even lonelier.

"I miss you too..."

The two stared at their phones, utterly frustrated.

At that moment, Mu Qianli suddenly saw a post.

"Suspicions rise that Mu Qianli and Pei Jinxi have long had something fishy going on, plenty of evidence, everyone take note!"

Mu Qianli’s heart turned chaotic.

No way.

With trembling hands, she clicked into it.

"Comparing this hand in the photo, I noticed everyone’s focus is on her company, her peers, or slightly older male artists who love her, but no one thought of one person—Pei Jinxi. I just compared the hand from the photo, see the pictures below from multiple angles, comparing the prints and nails. Everyone can see, I think the person in the photo resembles Pei Jinxi."

"Based on this, I looked back at the news of Pei Jinxi and Mu Qianli, found that they’ve collaborated quite a bit, especially notable in ’Behind the Gold,’ where Pei Jinxi unusually didn’t support his own manager Hu Yiwei, and strangely joined Mu Qianli’s team."
