The Rebirth of a Top Star

After Song Shiyuan went downstairs, he got into the car, where the driver had been waiting for a long time.

Song Shiyuan recalled that he had gone downstairs specifically to explain that sentence to Shen Nanqiao. In fact, even if Song Shiyuan hadn't explained to Shen Nanqiao his reasons for giving the cold shoulder, it wouldn't have made any difference.

But today, Song Shiyuan didn't want to explain himself online anytime soon, even though he was partly responsible for everything.

Song Shiyuan looked at the online comments and saw his name and Shen Nanqiao's name placed together. He didn't know why he wanted to smile.

Sometimes, giving the cold shoulder is a tacit admission, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Song Shiyuan sat in the back seat of the car, not looking at his phone, but lost in thought.

When Song Shiyuan first encountered love, he finally understood why Gu Leyi was willing to fight against her family, even though she couldn't win against them.

After closing the door, Shen Nanqiao stood at the door for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally calling her agent back.

The first thing she was met with was a barrage of insults, but Shen Nanqiao remained silent and listened patiently without saying a word or arguing back.

After Du Junyi finished speaking, Shen Nanqiao asked her agent what to do.

In fact, Shen Nanqiao had her own way of handling things, but this time she just wanted to hear Du Junyi's opinion.

After Du Junyi finished speaking, he asked Shen Nanqiao when it would be convenient for her to come to the company. He said it had been a long time since they had met and they could discuss things in person.

After agreeing, Shen Nanqiao hung up the phone, then remembered what Song Shiyuan had just said.

Actually, it was somewhat ambiguous. Apart from saying that Shen Nanqiao didn't need to worry, it didn't specify how to handle the situation.

A cold shoulder approach is definitely not an option. Besides the fact that the outcome in the entertainment industry is unmanageable, Shen Nanqiao's movie is currently showing in theaters. While such a scandal might bring her some attention, it won't lead to any positive developments.

So now that Shen Nanqiao has realized what's happening, she's preparing to have a serious talk with Song Shiyuan.

Before Song Shiyuan even arrived at the company, he received another call from Shen Nanqiao.

The driver had just parked the car when he spoke, "Song..." Song Shiyuan gestured for the driver to be quiet and answered the phone.

Seeing this, the driver opened the door and got out of the car first, giving Song Shiyuan his own space.

Song Shiyuan leaned back in the car seat, thinking that Shen Nanqiao was feeling uneasy, which was why she wanted to contact him again.

"So what if it is?" Song Shiyuan was surprised at how gentle she was when she said this.

Shen Nanqiao heard Song Shiyuan's voice on the phone again, but she couldn't see his face now, and she was not confused and was completely clear-headed.

"Big boss, don't you know the rules of the entertainment industry?"

Song Shiyuan genuinely didn't know, so he directly asked Shen Nanqiao without hiding anything, "What rules?"

"Dating is a capital offense," Shen Nanqiao stated calmly to Song Shiyuan, stating what she considered an ironclad rule. Since he was an idol on the rise, he shouldn't be dating.

Shen Nanqiao understands this principle well. Therefore, for Shen Nanqiao, she can choose to be ambiguous, or collaborate in the drama, create a CP (couple pairing) off-screen, and generate trending topics, but she cannot actually appear in a real romantic relationship that is photographed.

If a real relationship develops, how can viewers connect with their favorite characters in the future? What I'm doing now is simply dereliction of duty.

That's how Shen Nanqiao felt.

That's why she made a second call to Song Shiyuan.

Shen Nanqiao was certain that Song Shiyuan was unaware of the unspoken rules and unspoken laws of the entertainment industry. Shen Nanqiao suddenly remembered that the two hadn't been in contact for a long time, and the promised collaboration seemed to have only been necessary at the beginning.

The relationship between the two is currently ambiguous and hard to define.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but ask, "Have you forgotten our relationship?"

Song Shiyuan asked in confusion, and Shen Nanqiao explained again. She didn't want to make her relationship with Song Shiyuan sound strange, so Shen Nanqiao said, "Our cooperative relationship."

For some reason, Song Shiyuan felt very uncomfortable when he heard about a cooperative relationship; it was not as pleasant as Shen Nanqiao's ambiguous words before.

Song Shiyuan's ears now only wanted to hear the words he wanted to hear.

This time, Shen Nanqiao explained it very clearly, so Song Shiyuan just hummed in response. Without any intonation.

Shen Nanqiao then said, "Then why do you say the innocent will clear themselves? You really don't want to dig deeper." Originally, Shen Nanqiao's intention in saying this was to make Song Shiyuan come to his senses and resolve the matter quickly.

Unexpectedly, in Song Shiyuan's ears, it had become an explanation from Shen Nanqiao to shirk responsibility and make excuses to distance herself from the relationship between the two.

She had initially felt better because of Shen Nanqiao's phone call, but now her face darkened when no one was looking.

She didn't like Shen Nanqiao talking like that.

Song Shiyuan then said, "I haven't forgotten, I remember it very clearly." As if to emphasize it deliberately, Song Shiyuan clenched his words, and there was a bad meaning in his tone.

Whether Shen Nanqiao understood or not, she immediately added, "Our relationship isn't simple; you're my sugar daddy." The implication was that Song Shiyuan needed to conceal their relationship and not act so recklessly.

Shen Nanqiao hoped that the exposure of this incident would not affect Song Shiyuan's relationship with his girlfriend Gu Leyi, and that Gu Leyi would not cause her any trouble because of this accident.

After Shen Nanqiao finished speaking, she silenced both people on the other end of the phone.

Shen Nanqiao really wished she had said these words when Song Shiyuan was still standing at her doorstep, so she could see what Song Shiyuan's expression was when he was silent, and what he was thinking.

Shen Nanqiao waited for a long time, until she even thought that Song Shiyuan had forgotten about her because he was busy with other things. Then she heard a breath from the other end, followed by Song Shiyuan's words: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to be sugar daddy and sugar daddy." Song Shiyuan said this with great seriousness.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't sure what he meant by saying that.

Shen Nanqiao has now broken off her relationship with Song Shiyuan and is working on her own; relying on others all the time isn't a solution.

But now that Song Shiyuan has said this, Shen Nanqiao hopes that she is not overthinking it.

I would never interfere in other people's relationships or be a third party.

Shen Nanqiao laughed it off, saying, "I didn't hold you back, did I? You can't question my work ability."

After saying this, Shen Nanqiao took a deep breath. Regardless of what Song Shiyuan meant by these words, Shen Nanqiao forced herself not to think about it in any other way. Everything should be done in a straightforward and simple way.

Shen Nanqiao didn't expect Song Shiyuan to say anything more after she finished speaking. When she realized what was happening and wanted to hang up, Song Shiyuan said, "I'll handle things, don't worry."

Hearing these words, Shen Nanqiao, who had initially believed she could handle the situation, now felt less confident.
