Out of control and sinking

Jiang Ruan returned to Bai Yi's side. When she passed Li Xin, she saw that Li Xin's face was ugly and she even secretly glared at her. Just then, Jiang Ruan turned around and saw it clearly.

Li Xin was too lazy to pretend and simply turned away.

Jiang Ruan withdrew her gaze, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes, but she didn't take this small ripple to heart.

The press conference continues.

The Q&A session with fans is coming up soon.

Jiang Ruan was the first to be asked a question.

The female fan who got the right to ask a question was particularly excited and held up the microphone.

"Jiang Ruan, I really like you. I've been watching your dramas since your debut. You act so well. I love watching everything you've filmed!"

Jiang Ruan smiled, her dark eyes sparkling with gentle light. Dressed in a purple strapless top, she exuded an elegant and ethereal charm. She spoke with grace and poise: "Thank you for your liking. It is actually because of your support that I have the courage to get to where I am today. Thank you."

Jiang Ruan bowed thirty times, her attitude sincere and humble.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Fan meet-and-greets are always exciting and full of gossip.

The female fan mustered her courage and asked, "Jiang Ruan, may I ask you a few questions?"

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

"Do you have anyone you like?"

This question immediately drew gasps of surprise from the audience.

Bai Yi smiled as he looked at Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan blinked, a little confused: "Huh?"

"Do you mean your idol, or..."

Female fan: "I'm not your idol, but I want to ask what kind of man you like, what kind of man you're considering marrying, and what type you'd prefer? We're all very curious, can you tell us?"

Below the stage, Sister Qin nervously watched Jiang Ruan.

If you don't respond well to this, it could easily lead to a scandal.

Jiang Ruan remained calm throughout, a smile always playing on her lips; she had a remarkably good temper.

She rested the microphone on her wrist, glanced at everyone in the room, and chuckled, "Let me think about it."

A female fan joked, "Is there even a question? Could it be someone like Bai Yi?"

"I'm standing right next to you, so I can't say anything?"

These words were met with cheers from the audience.

"Brother Bai Yi! Brother Bai Yi!"

"Together, together!"

There were all sorts of people urging them to be together.

Jiang Ruan panicked and blushed, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Brother Bai Yi is my senior, and we're good friends, right, Brother Bai Yi?"

Seeing her look over, Bai Yi withdrew the smile from his eyes and replied calmly, "Yes."

"Please don't make wild guesses. We are indeed good friends, but dramas and real life should be kept separate."

Adding a note: "But Xiao Ruan is also a junior I have high hopes for."

The two sang together.

Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan's fans were instantly excited.

Bai Yi calls Jiang Ruan Xiao Ruan!
So close.

Ahhhh, it looks like their ship might actually work! Aaaaaah!!!
At this moment, the press conference had clearly become Jiang Ruan and Bai Yi's show.

Li Xin stood on the other side, seething with hatred inside, but forced to smile on the outside.

"Jiang Ruan, what kind of man do you like?" a fan asked again.

Jiang Ruan did not hesitate this time. With bright eyes, she replied softly, "Mature, steady, and a little bit cliché, I'm an idealist. The person I marry in the future will definitely be my ideal type."

"So what is your ideal type?"

Jiang Ruan took a deep breath and blurted it all out: "She's good-looking, has a great figure, and is rich!"

Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.

Jiang Ruan was shy, and her cheeks instantly turned red, but that was indeed her thought.

The fans were thrilled.

They said in unison, "We like it too!"

Nonsense, who wouldn't like a man like that?

Everyone has an ideal type.

Nobody likes a man who is ugly, fat, and poor!
The female fan exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that my Bai Yi? Mature, steady, gentle, good-looking, with a great physique and plenty of money!"

A female fan urged, "Jiang Ruan, you and Bai Yi are such a good match, wouldn't you consider it?"

"I..." Jiang Ruan laughed angrily, looking up at Bai Yi, wondering how she had come back to him again.

Bai Yi smiled at her and gentlemanly helped her out of the awkward situation: "Everyone, please stop teasing Xiao Ruan. Didn't you see her face turned red?"

There was another round of laughter on the scene.

Then Jiang Ruan said softly.

"We are really good friends. Brother Bai Yi is a senior I admire and respect very much. I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future. Let's be good friends for life."

This statement is tantamount to indirectly denying her relationship with Bai Yi.

Without hesitation at all.

Decisive and straightforward.

Bai Yi's gaze paused slightly, and he almost couldn't adjust his facial expression, but he quickly returned to normal.

He looked at Jiang Ruan, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

And this scene was witnessed by the director.

The director has been in the entertainment industry for so many years that he can tell what someone is thinking with just a glance.

Looking at Bai Yi, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that he would have to talk to Bai Yi after the event.

Having worked with Bai Yi so many times, I can say that he is a really nice person, and despite being a movie star, he has no airs at all.

Actually, the director had already noticed something was wrong.

Bai Yi was being a bit too kind to Jiang Ruan. He brought her plasters for her leg injury, fever reducers for her fever, queued up to buy her fried liver from Tianxingju, and cooked for her himself.

Everything was so unusual.

You should know that Bai Yi used to be a very straightforward person, especially when it came to actresses, he would always keep his distance.

Aside from filming, you can't see them interact at all.

But it was different for Jiang Ruan. The atmosphere at the scene was very pleasant.

Jiang Ruan was asked a few more questions, and then it was Bai Yi's turn.

Bai Yi held the microphone, already quite used to this kind of occasion.

But he was still taken aback by the first question from a fan: "Brother Bai Yi, you're almost thirty. Do you have someone you like and are considering settling down?"

Bai Yi calmed down and said gently, "I'm not considering it for now. I don't have such fixed ideas about marriage. Being single for another ten years is not unacceptable."

The female fan was incredibly bold: "Brother Bai Yi, are you waiting for me instead of getting married?"

The audience gasped in surprise.

The female fans were in an uproar.

"Isn't this too bold?"

"Ahhh, what do you mean 'waiting for you'? Brother Bai Yi is clearly waiting for me! Brother Bai Yi, I'm willing to marry you! Ahhh!"

The host maintained order: "Please be quiet, everyone."

Once the noise subsided, Bai Yi picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "It's not impossible."

He joked, "But you should think carefully, dating me isn't so fun, because I'm basically on set 365 days a year."

"So my friendly advice is for you to find a boy who loves you more to date and marry."

The audience burst into laughter.

The female fan pouted and said, "Okay then."

"But I'm already very happy that you can chat with me, Brother Bai Yi. I've really liked you for many years."

Bai Yi: "Thank you for your appreciation."

Keep it up in the future!

Female fan: "Definitely! As long as I live in this world, I will always love you!"

Bai Yi: "Then I wish you a long and healthy life!"

Being praised by your idol is such a wonderful thing!
The female fan was starting to fall in love.

"Brother Bai Yi, I have one last question for you."

Bai Yi: "Okay, go ahead and ask."

What kind of girl do you like?

Female fan: "If you were to actually get married in the future, what kind of girl would you choose to marry?"

The fans at the scene listened with bated breath.

The media reporters took a lot of photos.

It's all filmed; this will be trending on social media tomorrow.

It's all money!
Without thinking, Bai Yi replied in a magnetic voice, "A gentle and lovely woman, I suppose."

"I prefer the simple and cute type."

These words caused an uproar at the scene.

Because isn't this referring to Jiang Ruan?
It's a perfect match!
Jiang Ruan listened without changing her expression, a smile on her face, not taking the words personally at all.

I never expected that the person those fans imagined was her.

After answering a few more questions from fans.

The host said, "That concludes our Q&A session with the male and female leads. Now it's time for the other actors to ask questions."

No sooner had she spoken than Li Xin said sweetly to Bai Yi, "Brother Bai Yi, you don't mind if I use your microphone, do you?"

Because Bai Yi was closest to her and had a microphone in his hand.

Bai Yi: "..."

I refused without even thinking about it.

"Sorry, this is not appropriate."

The following are all media reporters.

Besides, Li Xin is a dishonest person, and Bai Yi doesn't have a good impression of her.

Li Xin was rejected, and her fingers clenched slightly at her sides. She subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan.

Just then, Jiang Ruan also looked over.

But she was only looking; Jiang Ruan wasn't really that kind of person to help her.

In the end, Li Xin had no choice but to ask the director for a new microphone.

As soon as she received it, someone asked her a question.

Li Xin was quite excited to be the first to be asked a question.

While fixing her hair, afraid of ruining her appearance, she heard a fan questioning her: "Li Xin, I heard that you acted like a diva on set, swearing at the staff without any respect, and that you didn't get along with Jiang Ruan and the others. Is that true?"

Li Xin's expression changed drastically, but she quickly recovered and said innocently, "This is not true. It's all just rumors and fabrications. Someone is deliberately trying to smear me."

"Everyone should trust me and not be swayed by public opinion."

A fan asked again, "How much did Fei Hong's sudden bankruptcy affect you? Did you feel resentful about going from a rich heiress to an ordinary person overnight?"

This question was like a knife stabbing Li Xin in the heart.

How could she possibly maintain balance?

But in this situation, Li Xin quickly thought things through and said, "At first, I was really not used to it. After all, I've been spoiled since I was a child. My parents have always pampered me, and I can have whatever I want."

“Suddenly, everything was gone overnight. I was filming at the time, and my father and uncle were also injured around that time. I was under a lot of pressure at the time. I cried every night and couldn’t sleep without taking sleeping pills.”

"That period was the lowest point I've experienced in all my years."

As she spoke, Li Xin's eyes reddened.

Immediately afterwards, tears rolled down her cheeks.

She turned her head away to wipe her tears.

Innocent and pitiful.

This instantly aroused the sympathy of many people present.

Fans also encouraged her: "Li Xin, keep going! There's no hurdle you can't overcome."

"Yes, keep it up, Li Xin."

"You're the best!"

Hearing the fans in the audience encouraging her and becoming fans of her instead, Jiang Ruan's lips twitched slightly.

Is it a bad sale?
Indeed, Li Xin is quite pitiful.

Jiang Ruan actually felt a little embarrassed about her in this matter.
