I Heard You Like Me Too

Chapter 31

Ye Jing An is exhausted. Last night, he had to watch over Du Yu Shu the entire night. The next morning, he had to wake up to make her ginger soup. In the afternoon, he did not get any sleep. The physical activities in the afternoon were strenuous so when he sat down on in the car and closed his eyes, Wei Meng didn’t disturb him. He sat in the back seat and dealt with the recent public affairs as he gave Ye Jing An a rundown of his schedule.

When Ye Jing An got wind of the matter, it has already become a hot topic.

Ye Jing An sneered. Xia Ning Hua is a good person* ah, but she does not have the courage to act alone; there must be someone backing her. Ye Jing An played with the phone in his hand, his deep dark eyes reveal a chilling glint.

T/N: To praise someone’s moral integrity/courage

It seems like she didn’t listen to his warning.

“Hello, ge.” Ye Jing An’s voice is calm. When Wei Meng heard him speak, he looked at him in surprise. Ye Jing An actually took the initiative to find the young master?

“What’s the matter?” From the other side of the phone came a low and sexy voice, “It’s rare for you to call me. What’s today’s date, I must remember this wonderful and glorious day.”

“I’m not going to stand aside anymore,” Ye Jing An narrowed his eyes and look out the window, sliding his finger against the glass. He said softly and casually, “Do you still remember Xia Ning Hua? Those few times, I didn’t bother with her out of respect for her, but now, don’t blame me for making a move.”

Ye Jing An’s tone was calm as if he was making a statement, not consulting.

The person at the other end stayed silent. After a while, he asked in bewilderment, “Didn’t you always not take a care in these matters? It is only a scandal, there’s nothing to make a big fuss over. Could it be....” The person paused, “you have a girlfriend?”

“Yes,” Ye Jing An frankly stated, a wave of gentleness flashed in his eyes, “So, I don’t want her to misunderstand.”

Wei Meng raised his head and stared at him with wide eyes, Ye Jing An has a girlfriend?!

As his agent, he doesn’t even know!

“Then you deal with it yourself. I once asked you to take care of her, but that was what she wanted as a break-up gift,” A smile could be heard from his voice as well as a hidden coldness, “——not to take advantage of you.”

“Yes, but this matter happened because of you,” Ye Jing An smiled and said, “So, I need your help....”

“You brat,” That person doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “OK. You’re my little brother, how can I say no? Just remember to bring your little girlfriend home for us to see.”

“No problem.” Ye Jing An promised. Whenever he thinks of Du Yu Shu, he couldn’t help but smile.

Ye Jing An hung up the call and went onto Weibo and roughly checked his newsfeed. Then, he sent out a few text messages. In a few short minutes, he received a few text messages back. He clicked on the link in the message which sent him to a forum page where he saw–––

#The Other Woman Du Yu ShuI ntervened In Summer Night Love, Xia Ning Hua Had No Choice But To Publicize Their Relationship!#

Ye Jing An’s lips evoked a small curve, but his eyes contained no smile. So they want to deal with Du Yu Shu?

Or use him to deal with Du Yu Shu?

It really is too....absurd!

Ye Jing An happily smiled, his eyes cold. The black car quickly drove down the road. Ye Jing An’s quickly typed on the keyboard and happily watched as the post blew up.

Since Xia Ning Hua wants to play, then he might as well go big.

I’ll teach you what it means to try to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it*, ha!

T/N: to try to gain an advantage only to end up worse off

The post quickly shot up. Ye Jing An’s hired Internet users coupled with the ones his brother bought, they were able to muddle up the entire situation. He didn’t leave the situation to be one-sided though. Half of them supported Xia Ning Hua, the other supported Du Yu Shu. In no time, the topic made it to Weibo’s hot search and more people got involved, leaving the situation out of control.

Ye Jing An happily smiled and wrote a single line on Weibo.

Ye Jing An (v): Rich, beautiful, and good character. If she is not a goddess, who can be considered a goddess, have admired her for three thousand years. Du Yu Shu #MyDarlingGoodMorning

In order for that sentence not to sound ambiguous, Ye Jing An added that extra line #MyDarlingGoodMorning.

Although Ye Jing An wanted to expose his relationship with Du Yu Shu, it would be too careless to expose such a matter one-sidedly.

Du Yu Shu is the best, he just wants to give her everything in the world.

Xia Ning Hua had been watching the development ever since she went on Weibo. She originally thought that although Ye Jing An would be angry, he would only be colder to her in the future. He promised his brother that he should take care of her.

Because of this promise, Xia Ning Hua rejected his high break up fee.

What’s more, the person is dealing with is Ye Jing An’s enemy. Why won’t he cooperate with her?

Xia Ning Hua desperately tried to comfort herself. Although her heart feels uneasy, she has no other solutions.

When she was with that person, she was able to gain quite a profit. However, she later wanted to marry him so she slowly removed herself from the entertainment circle. After all, in the eyes of big wealthy families, artists are only playthings. If she wants to marry that person, she cannot be very close to the entertainment circle.

It was obviously very well before, Xia Ning Hua bit her lower lip, why did it turn out like this?

Why did he suddenly want to break up?

But she doesn’t have any place to retreat to anymore. Ever since she took Young Master Li’s proposal, she had no retreat.

What could she do? Xia Ning Hua revealed a weak smile, in this circle, they would only despise poverty, not prostitution. Ever since she sold herself, she had no other retreat.

However, Xia Ning Hua feels very restless. She couldn’t sit still and could only scroll through the Weibo forum to see if everything is still in her control.

Her right eyelid twitched as her heart thumped loudly against her chest. She is in a state of anxiety and confusion.

She pulled open the curtains and found that the weather seemed gloomy. As if it is about to rain.

At that moment, Xia Ning Hua had a bad premonition.

Ten minutes later the hot search ranking shifted.

This was not part of the agreement! Their plan was to drag out Du Yu Shu step by step. It hasn’t been ten minutes and Du Yu Shu ’s name is already on the hot search.

#Du Yu Shu Interfered With Summer Night Love, Xia Ning Hua Had No Choice But To Announce Relationship#

Finished. Xia Ning Hua only had one thought. Ye Jing An must have intervened.

She thought.

She repeatedly refreshed Ye Jing An’s homepage until a post popped up on top of the screen.

Xia Ning Hua bleakly smiled, she is really finished this time.

Ye Jing An’s retaliation wouldn’t be small.

Xia Ning Hua thought.

What did she do wrong?! She only wanted to climb up! Who doesn’t want to get married to a good family?! Who doesn’t want to be on the top of the entertainment world?! There are many famous celebrities in the industry, who isn’t dirty?!

Why?! Why is it that every one of them could climb to the top but she has to suffer?!

Why?!

She threw the phone toward the ground and asked herself over and over again, what did she do wrong?

She only wanted to climb to the top!

If she hadn’t agreed to Young Master Li’s request, how would she be able to mix in the entertainment circle in the future?!

Why is every one of them doing this to her? Forcing her, bullying her!

After Xia Ninghua finished venting, she took out a spare phone and went to Weibo.

During her ten minutes of venting, the tide has shifted. Xia Ning Hua’s finger trembled as she went on the hot search. The top trend has changed.

#XiaNingHua

Xia Ning Hua’s finger trembled as she clicked on the link. When she saw the result, she instantly felt dizzy.

Sex scandal!

Nude scandal!

Xia Ning Hua was immediately cursed at!

Ye Jing An’s fans were outraged, how could this type of woman be worthy of their male god?!

Du Yu Shu’s fans were even more outraged, this type of woman slandered their goddess!

Finished.

Xia Ning Hua stared at all the pictures of herself on the screen. Even though the men were blurred out, it can be clearly seen that it is not Ye Jing An. Some of them, there was more than one man.

They were behaving intimately and acting ambiguously.

Xia Ning Hua feel to the ground, feeling like all her energy has evaporated from her body. Why?

Why is this world so unfair?!

She abandoned her childhood sweetheart only for a few flats and a couple million dollars?!

She is not will to accept that!

Du Yu Shu opened Weibo and looked through the turn of events. She couldn’t help but smile.

Wang Jie rubbed her temple angrily and said, “Why won’t you let the company take care of it? Do you know that if this news hasn’t broken out, you would’ve been attacked!”

“I know.” Du Yu Shu quietly said. Wang Jie opened her mouth wanting to scold her but saw that she have a smile on her lips.

“I promised someone not to get involved with this situation.” Du Yu Shu turned and look at Wang Jie, her eyes gleaming, soft and warm, “So I won’t get involve.”

I promised him, so I must do it.

I must do it.

“What’s life if you don’t gamble a few times?” Du Yu Shu smiled charmingly. “Besides.”

“Do you think it would be easy to drive me to the edge of the cliff?”

“Even if I was driven off a cliff, I would have a way to return to heaven.”

Du Yu Shu silently stared at Wang Jie, her eyes shining brightly.
