"We're really fine!"

The thought of Lu Yuchen's words and that kiss made her cheeks flush instantly.

"Alright, alright, I saw it clearly. Mr. Lu's gaze towards you has changed! No wonder he moved next door to us, so that's why."

"Xiao Lu, you're overthinking it," Shen Xuan tried to clarify.

“Xiao Xuan, how is Lu Yuchen inferior to Li Siyuan? If you agree, I will immediately have someone spread this news and teach that arrogant Li Siyuan a lesson.”

Shen Xuan could only remain silent in response.

Although she understood Lu Yuchen's feelings, she still didn't have the courage to accept them.

Seeing Cheng Lu looking around nonchalantly, her eyes seemed to have already decided that she and Lu Yuchen were a couple.

Just as Shen Xuan was about to explain, Cheng Lu raised her hand to interrupt her: "Don't say anything. Explaining is just covering up, and covering up means it actually happened!"

Shen Xuan looked at her helplessly...

Three days later, she and Cheng Lu rented an office in a commercial building in downtown Jiangcheng City, preparing it as their new workplace.

Leveraging the popularity she had built up in the film and television industry, sponsors quickly responded.

However, given the differences between industries, the overall business development still encountered some setbacks.

She switched to animation production, and although she was able to handle it well, she initially had very little business.

Thanks to Shen Xuan's relevant knowledge from university, their duo studio is thriving.

Yin Xuan would lend a hand from time to time, while Lu Yuchen mainly provided funding or acted as a go-between; they handled all the other matters themselves.

After their Weibo update, they finally garnered a surge of attention.

Many people come here because of Mu Mutian.

After she posted a set of photos, her number of followers skyrocketed.

This was the first time she had shared a personal photo since opening her Weibo account, and her fans went wild when they saw her face.

Li Siyuan sat inside the Li Group's office building.

A news article popped up on the computer screen.

He unconsciously clicked on it, then leaned back in his chair.

Normally, he wouldn't even glance at this kind of news, but this time, because of the name "Mu Mu Tian," he couldn't help but check it out.

The webpage displays photos of the studio team, and the background wall prominently displays the film and television base of a certain animation studio.

The post received over two million comments and was shared over ten million times.

He had no idea that Shen Xuan had such a private account with tens of millions of followers.

In the comments section, people expressed their admiration with great enthusiasm.

Li Siyuan browsed through some of the comments, which were all expressions of love, and his jealousy intensified.

So he registered an account as well and left a comment below.

"Shen Xuan, you've been married into the Li family for three years and have quietly cultivated so many fans. I really underestimated you!"

Immediately following, his comments were bombarded with a barrage of replies.

"Hey, whose account is this, publicly challenging me?"

"Is Mu Mutian's real name Shen Xuan? Anyone who knows, please answer."

"Who came upstairs? Mu Mutian has never been married. What do you mean she's been married into the Li family for three years?"

"Hey, you're talking like Mu Mutian is your relative. Can't you come up with something a little more original when you're pursuing a girl?"

"We strongly oppose the mindless comments from the fans upstairs. We must protect Mu Mu Tian!"

"..."

As he read these replies, Li Siyuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Some people even said that Shen Xuan was unmarried, others questioned whether he was there to cause trouble, and some even directly challenged him.

He searched his phone for a long time but couldn't find any photos of him and her, so he simply posted their marriage certificate on his Weibo account.

Some netizens followed his reply and saw the couple's marriage certificate.

His comment section immediately exploded.

"Are people no longer using their real photos for photo editing? They're even trying to fool people with this level of Photoshop?"

"Hey, the woman does look like Mu Mutian, but who is this man? Why don't they dare use a real photo?"

"Forget it, it's fine if it's just for fun, but why did you have to steal someone else's photo? Has the poster run out of ideas?"

"Your photo editing skills are too rough. Besides, aren't you afraid of infringing on copyright by using Mr. Li's photo directly like this?"

"I've already reported it, you're welcome!"

"..."

Faced with this group of indiscriminate fans, Li Siyuan was so angry that he was speechless.

"Sir!" The assistant beside him asked softly, noticing his ashen face.

"Should we have our Li Group's official account issue a clarification?"

Having followed Li Siyuan for so long, this was the first time the assistant had seen him subjected to such a mindless attack.

In Jiangcheng, Li Siyuan is almost a household name, after all, the Li family's businesses are widespread.

In addition, the Li family is the dream home of every girl, so when Mu Mutian went out to work, no one would associate her with the illustrious Li family.

“No need!” he interrupted coldly.

He disdained to participate in such a boring farce, and there was no need for him to explain.

Explaining these trivial matters to a group of ignorant trolls is simply not in his style.

But didn't he just sever that connection?

In the studio, Shen Xuan stared at the comments on her phone screen without saying a word.

Cheng Lu opened the page and was surprised to find that Li Siyuan's post had actually made it into the top ten.

She turned to Shen Xuan and said, "This guy really has no restraint when he talks. I'll teach him a lesson."

He quickly typed out a reply.

Shen Xuan stared quietly at the screen when her phone rang.

She glanced at it sideways and hung up the phone without hesitation.

Li Siyuan, who already had a bad temper, became even angrier when he saw his call being abruptly disconnected.

Shen Xuan remained focused on the computer screen when her phone rang again, playing a familiar melody.

She glanced at it and saw that it was Lu Yuchen calling, so she answered.

Just then, Li Siyuan called a second time, but the line was busy, which made him even more annoyed.

She would rather hang up on him and answer someone else's call than say a single word to him. Such humiliation seemed to him to be becoming increasingly common.

After ending the call with Lu Yuchen, Li Siyuan called again.

She frowned slightly. He had never called so frequently before, much less waited so patiently to talk to her.

She picked up her phone, got up, walked to the balcony, found a secluded corner, and pressed the answer button.

"Is something the matter?" she asked in an unusually calm tone.

"I'll pick you up after get off work. Let's talk now." The voice on the other end of the phone was icy.

His tone was firm, as if he were informing her that he was coming to pick her up, leaving her no room to refuse.

"What else can we talk about?"

"What's there to talk about? You'll understand when you get there."

"Li Siyuan, what are you going to do if I don't go?"

She gently brushed aside the strands of hair that had brushed against her mouth by the wind and asked in an unusually calm tone.

"I've made myself clear enough. Don't force me to take action and have someone else bring you here. That wouldn't be dignified for anyone!"

"You..." Before he could retort, the other party had already impatiently hung up the phone.

Shen Xuan felt both annoyed and helpless.

After all, she couldn't easily say no to someone like Li Siyuan.
