Seeing Jiang Mubai coming back, Manman and Shang Luo couldn't sit still anymore. They immediately picked her up from the left and right and kept asking questions.

The press conference had not even started yet but they had already started rehearsing in advance. Jiang Mubai felt dry in the mouth so he poured himself a glass of water to ease the sourness in his mouth. There was no need to guess that Ren Xueer must have done it on purpose. There was nothing he could do but to be proud of this little trick.

"You two, let me take a break. Are you going to answer for me at the press conference later?" Jiang Mubai's throat seemed to be smoking. He said more words that day than he had said alone before.

She could understand their worries, but it was too late to do anything now. All she could do was wait for the press conference in the afternoon.

Jiang Mubai counted the time as it passed by, and as time got closer, she became more and more nervous. Although there had been press conferences like this before, this time was completely different.

There used to be special words, but now there is even an uncontrollable Qin Yuanqing. Once he says something that cannot be said, I am afraid I will be ruined.

Listening to the noisy sounds outside, Jiang Mubai knew that the time was almost up. She did not dress up, but was wearing ordinary casual clothes. The makeup on her face was put on by herself in the morning.

"Sister Mu Bai, do you think it's really possible?" Manman followed behind her and was also very worried.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back no matter what." Shang Luo glanced in the direction of Qin Yuanqing. He had been waiting there early. She could naturally see his feelings for Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, just nodded at them, then followed Qin Yuanqing, and the two of them disappeared at the elevator door.

Today's press conference also used the hotel's space. It was originally a temporary venue found outside, but when Qin Yuanqing heard about it, he immediately arranged it to be in the lobby on the middle floor. The place usually used only to receive senior executives was now full of reporters.

The two of them sat in the front under everyone's gaze. Jiang Mubai's palms were sweating as he looked at the dark crowd. When he was about to look away, he saw Cheng Yunchuan standing on the side. His uneasy heart calmed down a lot.

From the very beginning, the reporters' questions came one after another. Fortunately, there was a field controller to control the situation, so Jiang Mubai was able to answer them one by one.

Although the questions were outrageous, most of them were within Jiang Mubai's expectations. She and Qin Yuanqing had already reached a verbal agreement. She also revealed that the two would cooperate at the beginning of the year, which made some reporters fantasize.

"I think it's wrong to say that. There are many kinds of likes but only one kind of appreciation. I really appreciate Mr. Jiang's performance and recommend it to those who haven't seen it. The documentary that has not yet been released is even more worth looking forward to."

Qin Yuanqing did not sit still and wait for death. In order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening today, Jiang Mubai specially prepared a script for him. After listening to the content, she suddenly realized that Qin Yuanqing did not speak according to the content. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the content.

After trembling for an hour, Jiang Mubai's back was wet with sweat. She staggered unconsciously when she stood up because she had been sitting for too long. Just when Qin Yuanqing wanted to reach out to help her, Shang Luo rushed up and hugged her.

Seeing that it was Shang Luo, Jiang Mubai also approached with confidence. How could the reporters in the audience miss this scene? They definitely fed the CP fans of the two of them a lot.

Qin Yuanqing also went back to the lounge under the guidance of the staff. In order to avoid suspicion, the lounge of the two of them was deliberately kept far away. Cheng Yunchuan also sneaked into Jiang Mubai's lounge while everyone was gone.

The staff were also trying their best to stop the reporters who wanted to catch up, and Shang Luo and Jiang Mubai did not dare to stop at all.

"He's waiting for you inside. I'll go back to my room first." Before Jiang Mubai could react, Shang Luo pushed him into the lounge. The curtains were drawn and the light was dim. She could only see a person sitting on the sofa.

"There are reporters everywhere outside. Where are you going?" Yes, where could she go? But Jiang Mubai didn't want to stay in the room. She really had nothing to say to him.

Jiang Mubai put down his hand that had just been on the door handle. The noise outside was still very noisy. The reporters must be looking for them. He hoped that Qin Yuanqing would not say anything nonsense.

She was by his side when he was on stage, but Jiang Mubai couldn't guarantee it now, after all, he had already completed their agreement.

"Don't you really want to see me?" The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. Jiang Mubai had nowhere to escape and didn't turn around.

She heard Cheng Yunchuan finally stop beside her. It wasn't that she didn't want to see him, but sometimes Jiang Mubai also felt puzzled.

Cheng Yunchuan turned her around to face him, and only then realized that Jiang Mubai's eyes were filled with tears but she was still stubbornly refusing to look at him, just like a wronged young wife.

"Who knows why you are angry? We had agreed on something, but in the end it seems like I did something wrong." Jiang Mubai could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart. She was already under a lot of pressure, and now she had to endure temper. How could she bear so much?

Cheng Yunchuan hugged her into his arms and gently patted Jiang Mubai's back.

"I'm not angry. We did agree on it, but the cooperation was not what we agreed on. I'm worried that he will hurt you." Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly, fearing that the person in front of him would disappear if he let go.

Jiang Mubai was not at all willing to listen to his explanation. Instead, she cried even harder, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered recently.

"I didn't understand you. I'm sorry, it's my fault. Can you let me stay by your side and protect you?" Cheng Yunchuan would never allow this to happen again.

"Why should you protect me?" Jiang Mubai struggled in his arms.

"Because I like you." The person who was struggling just now suddenly became quiet. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or not, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Cheng Yunchuan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he felt a lot more relaxed. He finally had the chance to say what he had been holding back in his heart.

"I like you so I don't want you to get hurt, I like you so I want you to be happy, I like you so I want to be by your side to protect you every moment." Cheng Yunchuan said it all in one breath.

This sudden confession has overwhelmed Jiang Mubai. The scandal just came to an end and now it has come again. She is somewhat overwhelmed.

"I don't want your love. Don't you understand? I am Jiang Mubai, not your queen of the screen. I don't want to be the queen of the screen in your eyes. I am just myself, not a substitute for anyone. Do you understand?"

Jiang Mubai used all her strength to push Cheng Yunchuan away. Her mind was confused but she knew clearly that she didn't want to be a substitute for anyone, not even her former self.

Although she is still called Jiang Mubai now, she is a completely different person. The old her is no longer there.
