Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 315: When Will We Go Public?

Fortunately, there were no cameras, or today’s big news would have been "Xie Qingci going all out to woo Yu Xia to prove his affection."

At this moment, she didn’t know what gossip had come out today.

After Xie Qingci’s little maneuver, the two sat across from each other at the folding table, both absentmindedly eating.

Xie Qingci even openly went out to ask how much longer they had to wait.

The staff said there were still guests who hadn’t arrived, so they had to wait.

And besides, the couple in the next tent was arguing again, louder than ever, with Luo Sheng’s angry roars and Ling Luo’s screaming and crying echoing through the whole crew, startling the guests who had just arrived.

Yu Xia wasn’t in the mood to join in the commotion, so she lay down on the table for a nap after eating her fill. Xie Qingci covered her head with a jacket to block the light and some of the noise, then left.

When he got to the next tent, there were already three other groups of guests inside, some trying to mediate, others trying to break up the fight, and some who were just too tired and annoyed to care, sitting on the ground eating.

Seeing him come in, they perked up and joked, "First place again, huh? You guys are too strong, we can’t catch up no matter what."

Xie Qingci replied, "Just lucky."

Then he tapped on the folding table by the entrance.

The crisp sound drew everyone’s attention, and the whole group turned to look at him.

When he wasn’t smiling, he seemed not easy to approach, and because of his height, he had a condescending look when he lowered his eyes to look at others, which made Ling Luo, who had been crying and shouting, gradually quiet down.

As the annoying noise lowered a bit, he said, "Could you take your argument somewhere else? Everyone’s tired and wants to rest, and your noise is bothering people."

Luo Sheng, looking like he’d given up, sneered and said, "What everyone? You’re worried about disturbing Yu Xia, aren’t you? Stop pretending like you care about everyone!"

Everyone quieted down, awkwardly watching Xie Qingci’s reaction.

He admitted without hesitation, "Yes, since you don’t need a decent excuse, I’ll just say it straight—shouting such ridiculous things at the top of your voice, you might not feel embarrassed, but we’re all getting irritated, and besides, your voices are too annoying; you’re disturbing her sleep."

The other guests exchanged glances, but didn’t even get a chance to whisper among themselves.

Luo Sheng, turning red with anger, instinctively pointed at Ling Luo, saying, "It’s her fault too, acting crazy, crying and shouting!"

Ling Luo tried to pounce and scratch his face but was intercepted midway. Xie Qingci averted his eyes from her distressed face, responding calmly, "You were the one who initiated the conversation."

It’s not like he’s picking on just him for no reason.

When people are angry, they’re prone to rash words, and Luo Sheng seemed agitated by Xie’s superior attitude, pointing at him and said:

"What are you so arrogant about, Xie Qingci! You’re just Yu Xia’s simp! A newcomer relying on fame and fans, still pretending to be a love saint, and Ling Luo sees you as a role model man and you’re very pleased with yourself! Watch out you don’t crash and burn!"

"So being better than you makes me a love saint, are you saying I have to be worse than you to be a normal man?" He flicked away Luo Sheng’s hand lightly, his brow furrowing as he reiterated, "Keep your voices down, it’s very noisy, aside from you two, everyone else here isn’t deaf."

Luo Sheng glared at him hatefully, losing all semblance of logic: "Don’t think that just because you have Changhui you can do whatever you want, keeping this deep, affectionate façade isn’t easy, is it? Once you get Yu Xia and lose your fans, will you still be so smug? Look at yourself, what’s there besides that face of yours? Yet you still have the nerve to say you like Yu Xia! You think conquering a woman like that boosts your self-confidence, don’t you?"

Xie Qingci took great effort to restrain himself just to listen until the end, then coldly laughed, mirroring him.

"Is it illegal that I like her? Is it immoral? Or does it just hurt your eyes? What is it with you dog-eat-dog obsessives, thinking you have to bite others to feel normal?"

As the words left his mouth, a clear voice from the tent entrance emerged.

"Xie Qingci, come out. Why waste your breath on an idiot, let him argue with his agent and fans. He even cost me two meals, might as well be feeding a dog."

Xie Qingci obediently turned and walked out.

Luo Sheng seemed to calm down a bit, shivering as he fiercely grabbed at his hair, then sat heavily back down on a chair.

This ordeal originally was just an issue between him and Ling Luo, and at most, he’d be scorned online, working with Ling Luo afterward to save some face.

Yet he had to drag others into it, and look now, no salvaging can be done, heading straight for the crash and burn.

Yu Xia cursed "idiot" again inwardly, tossed a backpack to Xie Qingci, and motioned him to follow her to the lakeside ahead.

"When do we announce it?" She abruptly threw out a bombshell, momentarily stunning Xie Qingci.

"What?" he tentatively asked.

Yu Xia squinted dangerously, "Don’t tell me when you said you wanted to go public soon you were just pretending to fool me."

He seemed to only then grasp the meaning of her words, suddenly fixating on her with eyes glowing, "Recently? You want to go public?"

"What else? You declared you liked me in front of everyone, I know it too, pretending I don’t at this point is like using you as a backup."

She certainly didn’t want to be scolded before going public.

Xie Qingci’s Adam’s apple bobbed, instinctively stepping closer to her, making her immediately step back, whispering a warning, "What are you doing? People are watching!"

Now isn’t the time to be hugging and getting close.

"Sorry, I got a bit excited," he looked like he was resolving a long-standing wish, closing his eyes briefly to settle himself, "Let me organize the upcoming arrangements first, I’ll tell you when we get back, is that okay?"

Yu Xia pursed her lips, "Go on, give me a rough idea, I need He to be prepared."

This seemed like a more tangible promise, Xie Qingci took a deep breath and swallowed.

"I’d love to announce it now, but think about it, waiting until after ’Burning Spring’ airs might be better. By then everything will be laid out, there’ll be more cpf, the company can guide the narrative, fewer people will criticize us. Plus, I’ll be joining two film crews later, having works might slightly satisfy your fans... Do you really want to announce it early? I remember you said it’d be better to announce after I go solo."

"Plans can’t keep up with changes," she looked up at him and smiled wryly, "And who’s in a hurry to assert their claim. Alright, think it over carefully, let me know as soon as possible after we return, today’s matter is likely being heavily discussed online, keep an eye out."

He nodded gently, and as she was about to turn back, asked a question unrelated to business.

"Can we stay together tonight? I can give you a massage."
