Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Admitting the Relationship

“Then let’s make it public,” Gu Huanhuan responded calmly. She had planned to announce the relationship after the movie’s release anyway. She wasn’t one for sneaking around.

“I’m just worried about the audience’s reaction,” Sister Gao said anxiously. “The movie is doing so well right now. If we announce your relationship and the audience doesn’t take it well, it could backfire.”

The agency wasn’t a concern. Her brother had ensured there were no contract disputes by not signing her directly to any agency; she was only affiliated.

“They’ll find out sooner or later,” Gu Huanhuan said, thinking that since the movie had been out for a few days, it was worth the gamble.

“Alright then. Since you were caught red-handed, we might as well be honest,” Sister Gao sighed, seeing no other choice.

“Thank you, Sister Gao,” Gu Huanhuan said, sticking out her tongue playfully on the phone.

“Just be aware,” Sister Gao said, exasperated. “You never give me a moment’s peace. But your boyfriend is really handsome. Even with just a side profile and a back view, he’s got people swooning. Ask him if he’d consider joining the entertainment industry. I could be his manager.”

“No need to ask. He won’t join,” Gu Huanhuan said firmly before hanging up.

Just then, Wen Chi came in with breakfast. “What’s going on? Why are you so worked up this early?”

“Nothing much. Sister Gao called. We were photographed yesterday,” Gu Huanhuan said calmly.

Wen Chi frowned. “How did that happen? Were we too careless? Will it affect you badly?”

“Don’t worry. Sister Gao will handle it. I was planning to go public anyway. Now that we’ve been photographed, let’s just go with the flow,” Gu Huanhuan reassured him.

“That’s good. I was just worried about you,” Wen Chi said, feeling relieved.

“It’s no big deal. Worst case, I stop acting and let you take care of me,” Gu Huanhuan joked.

“I’d be thrilled,” Wen Chi replied without hesitation.

They exchanged a glance and both laughed.

Gu Huanhuan knew she was just joking. Staying home all day and doing nothing would drive her crazy.

Remembering what Sister Gao said about the photos, Gu Huanhuan quickly opened Weibo and saw that the top trending topics were “National Goddess’s Romance Revealed” and “Huanhuan Holding Hands with Mystery Man.”

She clicked on the headlines and saw photos of herself smiling up at Wen Chi, their hands intertwined. Wen Chi was occasionally glancing back at her, the epitome of a couple in love.

The photos exuded a beautiful, warm aesthetic.

Gu Huanhuan felt a bit frustrated. Wen Chi’s side profile was perfect, his tall figure and exceptional aura making him look every bit the part of a gentleman. No wonder Sister Gao had asked if he wanted to join the entertainment industry.

Wen Chi noticed her alternating between frowning and worrying and asked, “What are you so engrossed in?”

“Here,” Gu Huanhuan handed him her phone.

Wen Chi saw the news report. Luckily, his face wasn’t fully shown. Otherwise, his life might have been thrown into chaos.

“Nothing special,” Wen Chi said, finding it quite boring. Being a celebrity seemed like just another job to him, but without any privacy. Every little thing had to be reported to satisfy the public’s curiosity.

“Only you would think that,” Gu Huanhuan said, taking the phone back to check the comments.

As expected, there were already tens of thousands of comments under the report. Gu Huanhuan was stunned by the number of people paying attention and commenting.

She felt a wave of nervousness but reminded herself that she’d been in the industry long enough. She had heard both praise and criticism and had developed a tough skin.
