Chapter 317 - His Clarification

The phone fell to the floor with a loud thud and bounced before it hit the window panel. The glass cracked and broke into a million pieces.

However, Shi An Na was not in the mood to care about the window panel in her apartment. At this time, her mind was filled with the news that she had read on the news portal.

Shi An Na had thought that Lu Xun would not address the rumor about his marriage.

Knowing Lu Xun, the man would address any rumor about him within a few hours. Shi An Na had waited. When she saw that Lu Xun and his company seemed to be ignoring this rumor, Shi An Na had thought that he was not willing to admit that country bumpkin.

It was fine for him to date someone of a lower status. But marriage is a different thing.

Someone like Lu Xun deserved to be with someone better.

Song Xing Xing was merely a video editor who worked at Lu Xun's company.

Shi An Na had a good night's sleep thinking that the couple would break up soon and it was time for her to return to Lu Xun's side.

However, when he woke up early in the morning, Shi An Na realized that she was wrong.

It was not that Lu Xun was not willing to address this rumor. It was just that... he was waiting for the perfect time to address this rumor.

It was early in the morning and the people were heading to work. At this time, a lot of people were using their phones as they were heading to work.

Lu Xun and his company decided to address the rumor that has been circulating since yesterday. He had deliberately chosen to speak about this matter at this time so that a lot of people would be able to see this post.

The moment she saw the message that Lu Xun had written on his social media, Si An Na was unable to calm down. Her heart was breaking and her hatred towards Song Xing Xing rose to another level.

Lu Xun had admitted that he was indeed planning to get married. However, his partner was not a celebrity or someone from the entertainment industry. Lu Xun clarified that the person he was going to marry was the same person who he was dating for a few months. However, this marriage was still in discussion and he will break the news to the public and introduce his fiance when the time is right.

Shi An Na reread this message again and again but was unable to calm down.

Didn't they say that he was waiting for her? Why did he have to hurt her like this?

Her heart could not accept that Lu Xun would want to be with someone like Song Xing Xing.

...

Capital City.

Song Xing Xing came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food that Auntie Wei had cooked into the dining area.

Her gaze stayed on the fish porridge for a long time and she could feel her stomach start to rumble. After she had moved in with Lu Xun, Song Xing Xing was getting used to eating Auntie Wei's cooking.

No matter how much she eat, Song Xing Xing thought that she could not get enough of them. Auntie Wei's cooking was that good.

"What are you doing? Stop looking at your phone. Let's eat our breakfast."

Hearing her voice, Lu Xun placed his phone on the table before he grabbed the cutleries. The corner of his lips tilted up into a smile as he watched as his fiance ate her porridge happily.

At this time, the netizen was in frenzy after reading his clarification early in the morning.

A few of them were disappointed upon finding that they had lost their bet when he was not dating any celebrities they had in mind.

A few of them were delighted upon hearing that the person he was dating was someone out of the entertainment circle. In their mind, Song Xing Xing was lucky enough. She was the Cinderella in this story.

However, his fiance was unaware of what was going on on the internet.

Song Xing Xing's good mood was contagious and soon, Lu Xun began to eat his food as well.

Once they finished their breakfast, Lu Xun pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Song Xing Xing giggled. However, she did not try to move away from him but instead, cooperated with him by linking her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? We are both going to be late for work if we didn't go out soon."

Lu Xun pulled out his phone and let her look at his post on social media.

"What is this?" Song Xing Xing took his phone and read the message he wrote. Then, her attention shifted towards the comments that the netizen had left.

"What do you think?"

Song Xing Xing returned his phone before he hugged him. She leaned forward and pressed her lips on his cheek.

A low chuckle escaped him. "In the next few days, the reporters will try to find out your identity. It won't be easy for you."

Song Xing Xing lowered her gaze. "I know. You don't have to worry about me." She looked up again and smiled brightly at him. "I have been hiding well from others as a member of Song's family. Escaping those reporters would not be that hard."

The corner of his lips tilted up into a faint smile. Lu Xun was aware that Song Xing Xing was saying those words to make him feel at ease.

Lu Xun felt guilty as he looked at her. If it was not for his past, Song Xing Xing would not be in this situation. Lu Xun was worried that this girl would be pressured to stay beside him.

"Xing Xing."

"Un."

Lu Xun looked at her for a long time before he asked, "If I have nothing on me, would you still stay with me?"

Song Xing Xing thought that she should feel offended by his question, but she did not feel that way at this moment. A thought came to her mind and she could guess what he was thinking at this time.

"Of course." She leaned to kiss his lips. "Lu Xun, you... are a great person. Even if you chose to let go of everything, I believe that you will still be able to stand up quickly. However, NEXT Group is a company that you build. This is your hard work. You shouldn't give up on it that easy."

This girl had guessed what was going on in his mind, making him embarrassed.

Lu Xun knew that one of the reasons Shi An Na continued to pester him was that she had thought that she had contributed to his success. He found her troublesome and it was tiring to deal with her.

He did not think that Song Xing Xing was able to guess his thought.

Lu Xun tightened his hold on her, thinking about the words she had said.
