Chapter 199 - Hyping Up

There was panic and embarrassment in Xia Wanyuan's eyes just now.

There only was not resistance toward him.

As he watched Xia Wanyuan leave, Jun Shiling's deep eyes gradually became firm.

Jun Shiling watched the lights by the river for a while before returning. In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep with Xiao Bao in her arms. Jun Shiling sat by the bed and opened the box Xiao Bao had given him.

Inside was a painting. Jun Shiling unfolded the painting.

The golden sun, the flourishing flowers, and the lawn was filled with a family of four holding hands.

On the paper, "Happy Birthday, Daddy!!" Jun Shiling read it and put the painting back into the box.

The next morning, Xiao Bao unexpectedly received a small jar of milk candy as a reward.

The first time the Heavenly Spirit Princess saw Lin Xiao's graceful side, she had left a deep impression on too many people. Over the past few days, the focus of discussions online had been on Xia Wanyuan.

Amidst the praises, different voices gradually appeared.

"Does Xia Wanyuan really like Qin Wu? Look at Xia Wanyuan's previous acting skills. Even if she improved, she wouldn't have improved so much all of a sudden, right?"

The accompanying photos were scenes from several television dramas that Xia Wanyuan had acted in in the past. Her eyes were listless and her gaze was dull. Compared to the shy and angry look the Heavenly Spirit Princess had when she faced Lin Xiao, it was as if they were acting.

[ Emmmm, it does look pretty different. ]

[ There are only two possibilities. One is that Xia Wanyuan has taken a miracle pill. The other is that Xia Wanyuan really likes Qin Wu. From the looks of it, the second possibility is higher. ]

[ Are you people toxic? If Xia Wanyuan's acting skills are bad, she will be mocked. Now that her acting skills are good, she will be suspected of liking male actors from the production team. You guys are so hard to please. ]

[ Eat melon and support the CP quietly while you're at it. Acting idiots find inspiration for love or something. It's a little good. ]

[ A passer-by passed by quietly. The photo at the back was too realistic. The feeling of a young girl's heart fluttering is about to rush out of the photo. If this is only a performance, this actor's acting skills are really not bad. ]

It was as if they had agreed on this. At the same time, many doubtful Weibo posts appeared.

Although the passers-by were watching with the mentality of eating melons, the seed of suspicion had already been planted. As long as a little water was poured on it, it would quickly germinate.

Some marketing accounts also began to follow suit.

"Is it a miracle pill or is she really attracted to Qin Wu? The truth behind Xia Wanyuan's great acting leap!" This extremely eye-catching title attracted many netizens to this topic.

[ Yes… I bumped into it. What's going on? ]

[ Marketing accounts only know how to exaggerate every day. ]

[ Xia Wanyuan… Although her image has changed a little recently, she's still not worthy of Qin Wu. Is there a need to pull them together like this? ]

[ Could it be that Xia Wanyuan wants to use Qin Wu to hype things up? This method is quite familiar. Didn't Xia Wanyuan use Yan Ci to hype things up in the past? ]

Qin Wu's status in the entertainment industry was much higher than Xia Wanyuan's. When their names were placed together, it was very easy for others to think that Xia Wanyuan was using Qin Wu as a publicity stunt.

This speculation was confirmed a few hours later from many photos released by the Duck Prince.

@ Duck Prince: "Where did this soar in acting come from? It's just that Xia Wanyuan's true feelings were leaked."

There were nine accompanying photos on Weibo, all of which were post photos of Xia Wanyuan and Qin Wu filming.

Some were Xia Wanyuan leaning towards Qin Wu, some were Xia Wanyuan staring at him, and some were Xia Wanyuan being quietly disappointed as she watched Qin Wu and Ruan Yingyu act.

The angles of these photos were very good. In the photos, Xia Wanyuan was basically the one who took the initiative, while Qin Wu had a cold expression as if he was extremely bored.

[ Er… I just finished eating the melon and I'm already seeing these photos. I have to believe this. ]

[ Is something wrong with Xia Wanyuan? Can't you see that our brother doesn't even want to talk to her? Why does she have to get close to our brother? ]

[ I thought that Xia Wanyuan's acting skills had improved. It turns out that she really likes Qin Wu. ]

[ It's understandable that she likes him, but Qin Wu clearly doesn't want to talk to her, yet she still went up to him. Isn't this harassment? That's too much. ]

[ Our Yuan Yuan is such a beautiful woman, is there a need to harass Qin Wu? It's this duck prince again, a disgusting marketing account. Do you even believe what he says? ]

[ That's right. Xia Wanyuan plays the piano well and sings well. She's so beautiful and her family is rich. Is she lacking a handsome man like Qin Wu? Don't make it seem like everyone in the world likes your brother. ]

After experiencing these few episodes of television dramas, Xia Wanyuan had some fans. However, compared to the relatively powerful Qin Wu fan club and a large number of spectators, their strength was still too weak.

Before he could say a few words, he was attacked by everyone. He was so angry that the president of the fan club sent hundreds of emoticons in the group.

As the matter gradually fermented, Xia Wanyuan's expression as she looked at Qin Wu was even cut into emoticons by many people.

There was a well-known rule in the entertainment industry that celebrities could not fall in love. Or rather, celebrities who wanted to become popular should not fall in love and have scandals.

Especially female celebrities. The entertainment industry had always been more harsh on female celebrities. The Weibo post by the Duck Prince directly erased Xia Wanyuan's hard work in acting and attributed everything to her liking for Qin Wu.

"There must be someone standing behind the duck prince. Otherwise, why would he have so many behind-the-scenes photos from the production team?" Chen Yun looked at the Weibo post posted by the duck prince and said indignantly.

"It's probably from Ruan Yingyu. When news like this comes out, she's the one who benefits."

Tang Yin, who had already decided to return to her identity as a manager, was no longer wearing a solemn long dress like she had been a few years ago. Instead, she was wearing a warm red dress.

That day, when she returned home from the manor, Tang Yin had found the clothes she had hidden in the wardrobe for a long time and regained the aura of the gold medal manager, Tang Yin, who was arrogant six years ago.

"What should we do? Do you need me to send a warning?"

"No need for now. Let's wait for a while." Tang Yin looked at the increasing number of comments under Crown Prince Duck's Weibo and the corners of her lips curled up.

If they kept promoting Xia Wanyuan's acting skills openly and that she was beautiful, the audience would tire of her over time.

It was better to make use of the other party's hand to make the fire of "Xia Wanyuan's acting skills are bad" burn brighter.

Then, the audience would realize that they had thought wrongly. This dual psychological difference would make the audience feel apologetic towards Xia Wanyuan. As long as they used it well, it might not be a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan.

There were still discussions online as more and more photos of the drama team appeared. People were increasingly convinced that Xia Wanyuan was really attracted to Qin Wu. Furthermore, she ignored Qin Wu's displeasure and wanted to pull Qin Wu along to hype things up.
