Xu Xiyan lowered her arms and her gaze was met by a pair of angry eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed who they belonged to.

It was Huo Yunshen.

Most of the coffee had splashed onto his suit, while Xu Xiyan remained dry.

Yi Xiao took care of the girls that were causing the commotion. Huo Yunshen closed the umbrella and handed Xu Xiyan a handkerchief. “Sorry I’m late, Jing Xi.”

Huo Yunshen felt a little guilty that he hadn’t been able to rush to her in time because of his legs.

He was hurt deeply when he saw how others were treating her.

“Mr. Huo...” Xu Xiyan was about to cry when she saw that his face was filled with guilt. She would have never thought that he would appear in front of her at a time like this.

“Mr. Ma, please explain the scandal that surfaced yesterday.”

“Mr. Ma, are you in a relationship with a girl named Jing Xi?”

“Mr. Ma, can you tell us how you and Jing Xi met?”

“Mr. Ma, are you trying to increase the popularity of ‘The Root of Evil’ with this scandal?”

Ma Haodong kept his gentle smile in the face of all the reporters.

“Thank you for all of your concerns, I’ll explain everything. Jing Xi and I aren’t in a relationship. We’re really good friends, that’s all. As for why I carried her, it was because she got hurt when she was shooting a film.”

One of the reporters thought that Ma Haodong was trying to hide his relationship and asked, “Can you give us the details about that day? Everyone knows that you’re shooting for the ‘The Root of Evil’ while she’s shooting for the ‘Red Sleeved Beauty.’ How is it that you were near her set when everything happened?”

“I was there visiting her,” Ma Haodong explained.

“Isn’t that too unconvincing? You’re one of the most famous celebrities out there, and she’s just a C-list actress,” the reporter said, continuing to probe.

“Why is that unconvincing? Then who should I visit?” Ma Haodong asked. “Is it wrong for me to have my own friends?”
