Ling Xiaoxiao showed up at Chen Li's hotel room late at night, but he ignored her message and call. Xia Ting told Chen Li about Ling Xiaoxiao's visit, and they spent the evening eating snacks together. The next morning, news broke of Ling Xiaoxiao's failed attempt to see Chen Li, sparking a fan war on Weibo.

She should have urged him to go out and meet Ling Xiaoxiao last night; if he had, Ling Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have had to wait outside for so long.

Someone saw Ling Xiaoxiao coming to the hotel, took photos, and spread rumors.

Such rumors undoubtedly push Chen Li toward Ling Xiaoxiao...

Even if they’re not together, with media reports and fans pushing, they already have feelings for each other.

Now they can naturally end up together...

Her little selfish thought pushed him to Ling Xiaoxiao’s side.

Sure enough, people shouldn’t do bad things; things can backfire just like this.

Perhaps this is also good; she and he were never meant to be.

He would eventually find a girlfriend, and she would eventually leave.

Knowing the outcome sooner is somewhat comforting...

After discussing with Sister Fei, they decided not to respond to this issue and remain silent.

Chen Li didn’t mention a word, nor did he ask about it.

It seemed this matter had nothing to do with him.

Since he didn’t say anything, Xia Ting wouldn’t bring it up either.

Because she was scared to hear him say he was already with Ling Xiaoxiao.

When promoting the TV drama, a reporter asked Chen Li about the online news, but he changed the subject every time.

His attitude hurt Ling Xiaoxiao deeply.

She went to the hotel to find him, but he wouldn’t see her or take her calls.

Now, with the internet buzzing, he’s staying silent, refusing to respond.

What does he mean by this?

Could it be that he doesn’t like her? But that’s impossible; she sensed that he likes her!

The feeling is very strong, and he’s more caring toward her than other female stars. What else could this mean if not affection?

The way he looks at her is different; this is what liking someone means!

But now, with his current attitude, she can’t figure out what he truly means.

Could it be because he saw the way she answered the reporters, so he thinks she doesn’t like him, leading to his silence

like this?

The reason she responded that she and he are just friends was because he forced her to!

If he had said that he liked her, she would have admitted to it too.

But he hasn’t said a word...

During the TV drama promotion these days, besides interaction on stage, Chen Li hasn’t said a word to Ling Xiaoxiao.

Immediately after the promotion ended, he left without giving her a chance to speak.

After a week of promotion, they were allowed a two-day break.

With Chen Li on break, his assistants could also take advantage of the break.

Being able to rest at home was great news for them.

While others were on vacation, Xia Ting took her suitcase and went home with Chen Li.

Back at his place, she put away the luggage and cleaned up the house.

Chen Li was watching TV in the living room; he hadn’t had a proper rest or watched TV for a long time.

Xia Ting walked over with a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table.

Standing straight, she said to him, "You can have free time these two days, but be a bit careful when you go out so as not to attract attention. I’ve prepared the clothes you’ll need and placed them in your room."

"Where are you going to?" Chen Li put down the remote and turned to look at her, realizing she would be leaving and not staying by his side these two days.

"I want to go home for a few days. I haven’t been back for a long time. You’re not too busy in the coming days, so I can safely go home for a few days," Xia Ting replied.

Besides the drama promotion, he only needed to shoot a few endorsement ads and then head to the set to film.

There wasn’t much to do, so she could safely spend a few days at home.

By the end of the year, things would be very busy, and she wouldn’t have time to go home for New Year.

"How many days?!" Chen Li’s expression turned sour. How could she say he’s not busy at this time?

He had unending matters to handle every day; how could he possibly have nothing to do?
