Chapter 21: Wrong Message!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was getting late. After everyone finished the shooting for the magazine, Xu Yi sat in the nanny van on the way back. She leaned against the back of her chair, opened her Weibo application, and searched. She saw that Ling Youyou’s fans were raving about how beautiful Youyou’s cover shoot was. They wanted everyone to raise money to buy the magazine to increase sales.

There were also gossip bloggers who revealed that Ling Youyou had actually hired an internationally renowned photographer for her Ido magazine shoot. This photographer used to only work exclusively for the Four Major Magazines. Her makeup, clothes, scenery, and post-production were all top-notch in the industry. Therefore, the finished product might not be any worse than Xu Yi’s one. 

Xu Yi curled the corners of her lips.

She turned off her phone and suddenly remembered that she had lost some weight recently. She could have a hot pot meal! Lu Shen had been a great help this time, so she decided to treat him to hot pot tonight.

Xu Yi felt that this idea was not bad and started typing on her phone. [The crew have already gone back. The shoot went very well. In order to express my gratitude, tonight I will do you–]

Before she could finish typing, the nanny van suddenly came to a screeching halt. Xu Yi’s entire body fell forward. Before she could type about how she wanted to do Lu Shen a big favor and treat him to a wonderful hot pot, her phone fell out of her hand.

“I’m sorry, Sister Yi. Someone ran a red light…”

The driver quickly turned around to apologize. Xu Yi sat up again and tidied his hair. “It’s okay. Be careful.”

Zheng Siyi picked up the phone that Xu Yi had dropped on the ground, wiped it, and handed it to her with the screen facing down.

Xu Yi took it and flipped the phone around. Just as he was about to continue typing, he suddenly saw that the half-typed content had already been sent to Lu Shen!

[In order to express my gratitude, tonight I will do you.]

Just then, Lu Shen replied, [Okay.]

Xu Yi was completely stunned. This was really a huge misunderstanding!

Zheng Siyi noticed that Xu Yi’s expression was very bad, and could not help but move closer to her. “What’s wrong?”

Xu Yi immediately covered the phone screen. “Nothing.”

“Ohh.” Zheng Siyi had no choice but to sit back down.

Xu Yi’s heart began to roar. What should she do? What would Lu Shen think of her?

She did not even have time to retract her message, because Lu Shen had already seen it! This fellow did not respond to a message for three hours the last time, and this time he replied in a second?

Xu Yi gritted her teeth and typed hurriedly. [I meant to treat you to a meal. The car suddenly braked just now and I accidentally sent the message before I could finish typing! However, I now have something else to do. Dinner is canceled!]

After sending this message, Xu Yi immediately asked the driver to change the destination and drove to a beauty salon that she frequented.

After spending a few hours there, Xu Yi quietly returned home.

She entered the bedroom without saying a word. When she realized that Lu Shen seemed to have fallen asleep, she heaved a sigh of relief.

…

The industry had always kept news about magazine shoots a secret. However, this did not prevent the marketing companies from exaggerating the matter of Xu Yi and Ling Youyou appearing on the cover at the same time.

Even Gu Xiao had heard the news and gave her a call. “Did you get into a fight with that scamming b*tch?”

“I heard that she spent a lot of money on this shoot. I think you can definitely crush her. By the way, the brothers in my band are your fans. They worry about you every day and chatter in my ear…”

Xu Yi was very calm after hearing that. “Do you think she has the right to get into a fight with me? How many brothers do you have in your band? Are you really going to let loose with them every day?”

Gu Xiao said, “This is what life is all about, okay?”

…

At the beginning of the month, when the major fashion magazines released their new issues, it was highly anticipated by the readers.

The two female celebrities who had a feud with each other were both featured on the covers this month. Their marketing accounts had started warming up a few days in advance. Some people even joked that Xu Yi had not even bothered to give Little Xu Yi any attention in the past, but this time, she could not ignore it anymore.

It had to be said that Ling Youyou’s rise to the top was really fast. If she continued at this pace, there would be a huge battle of resources between them.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Ido was published first. Even the Weibo post that was uploaded alongside the publishing was written with deep meaning. “From obscurity to stardom, what persists is her hard work and love. She never gives up. She shines on the road. She is her, the one and only actress @Ling Youyou..”
