“Bang!”
Xiao Yunyun slammed the phone upside down on the coffee table.
Although she could not see those unsightly comments, her eyelashes could not help trembling.
She curled up in the corner of the sofa, like an innocent animal being attacked. She could only hide and hug herself tightly, using her hands to protect and comfort herself.
Shen Yuechuan came out after hanging up the phone in the study. He saw Xiao Yunyun curl up on the sofa with her head down, shivering. She was not as optimistic as she had promised him.
In fact, there was no one in the world who was naturally optimistic.
Xiao Yunyun was optimistic because she had lived in an environment full of love and kindness since she was a child. She had never suffered any misfortune or injustice. Even in the red packet incident, she had been proved to be innocent in the end.
It should be the first time she felt the malice of strangers and the first time she was attacked by so many people.
All of this was because of Shen Yuechuan—
All of a sudden, Shen Yuechuan’s heart seemed to have been punched heavily. His whole heart was smashed into bloody pieces.
He walked over and took Xiao Yunyun beside him into his arms. He comforted her and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. They can’t find you here. You won’t get hurt.”
“I know.” Xiao Yunyun’s eyes turned red. “But… how could they say that?”
How could someone raise the banner of justice and attack others wantonly just based on his malicious speculation?
“They were all bought by Kang Ruicheng with money.” Shen Yuechuan hugged Xiao Yunyun more tightly, trying to give her a sense of security. “Don’t look at their comments. Ignore them.”
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan uneasily. “Really?”
Were those people who scolded and attacked her bought by someone else and following his instructions instead of being unreasonable?
“Of course.” Shen Yuechuan tried his best to describe the world as peaceful and beautiful. “Everyone is so busy. Except for some ‘professionals’, who have time to fix their eyes on this kind of thing on the Internet and comment on it constantly? Just like those who were hired by the Zhong family to attack you, they were bought with money.”
Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and asked in confusion, “Why is someone willing to do such a thing?”
“Most things are born because there are a market and a demand.” Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Don’t think about it. This is not an indication of cardiac surgery diseases. You cannot figure it out.”
Xiao Yunyun was speechless.
Shen Yuechuan handed Xiao Yunyun a phone card. “This is my spare card. You can use it for the time being.”
Xiao Yunyun took the small card and asked, “Are you sure I don’t have to turn on the airplane mode?”
“I’m sure,” Shen Yuechuan promised. “Don’t worry. There won’t be any harassing calls. Now, only Jian’an and Yicheng know that you’re using this number.”
Xiao Yunyun installed Shen Yuechuan’s card and soon received a call.
It was indeed not a harassing phone call but one from Su Jian’an.
As soon as the phone got through, Su Jian’an said directly, “Yunyun, I’ve discussed it with your cousin-in-law. Before the matter is subsided, you and Yuechuan’s meals will be delivered from our place. In this case, it’s better for you to stay away from outsiders.”
“Well, okay!” Xiao Yunyun’s focus was seriously diverted. “I like the soup dumplings and braised pork made by your chef the most. I want to eat them every day!”
Su Jian’an didn’t expect that Xiao Yunyun was still in the mood to order. She smiled and said, “Okay. Just call and tell me what you want to eat. Also, if you need anything, just let me know. I’ll ask someone to bring it over by the way.”
Xiao Yunyun smiled even more happily. “Thank you, cousin!”
Su Jian’an thought for a moment and reminded her, “Don’t read too many comments on the Internet. If you see something bad, don’t mind it. Everything will pass.”
“I know. I won’t read them often!” Xiao Yunyun snorted. “Shen Yuechuan said that those people were trolls!”
“Trolls?”
Su Jian’an admired Shen Yuechuan’s explanation from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and said, “Yes, they are all trolls. Don’t care what they say.”
Obediently, Xiao Yunyun didn’t care or respond, and Shen Yuechuan refused all the calls from the media. Their “brother-sister love” had been confirmed on the Internet, and the topic continued to grow. There were more and more messages against Xiao Yunyun, and all kinds of jokes mocking her being scheming appeared on the Internet one after another.
As the parties involved, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun shut their door to chance visitors and enjoyed the food and drinks at home as if it was none of their business.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yunyun lay in Shen Yuechuan’s arms and asked, “Is it really okay for us to do this?”
“Hmm?” Shen Yuechuan peeled a nut and sent the nutlet to Xiao Yunyun’s lips. “What’s not good about it?”
The cream-flavored nut was fragrant and crispy. When she ate it, her taste buds seemed to go to heaven for a tour.
Xiao Yunyun instantly changed her mind. “Forget it. It’s good for us to do this!”
Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help pursing his lips, and his smile spread on his face.
He lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yunyun’s lips.
He didn’t know how long it would take for the storm to subside.
But he was sure that no matter what he had to bear, he would never let go of Xiao Yunyun’s hand again in this lifetime.
It was not until Xiao Yunyun’s breathing became rapid that Shen Yuechuan left her lips and asked her, “Are you still afraid?”
He still remembered that Xiao Yunyun curled up on the sofa in the morning, shivering.
Xiao Yunyun grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand and looked at him, saying, “I’m not afraid if you accompany me like this.”
Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun in his arms and said, “I will. Yunyun, I love you. I will always be with you.”
He would live up to his words as long as nothing happened to him and he could live like a normal person.
In the evening, Xiao Yunyun accompanied Shen Yuechuan to work.
After dealing with the business, Shen Yuechuan accompanied Xiao Yunyun to binge-watch and complained about the bugs in the plot with her. When the male star she was obsessed with appeared, he covered her eyes with his hands. She shouted to separate his hands, but he kissed her lips, making her full of affection for him.
Public opinions broke out like a flood on the Internet. Vicious attacks and abuse kept refreshing, but the state of Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan was no different from before.
It was Sunday the next day. Lin Zhixia received an interview from a reporter.
Lin Zhixia told the reporter that when she was dating Shen Yuechuan, she could feel that he didn’t care about her. On the contrary, he was more worried about his sister Xiao Yunyun.
What confused her was that Xiao Yunyun had always held inexplicable hostility toward her. At first, she couldn’t understand why. But later, she found out Xiao Yunyun’s feelings for Shen Yuechuan.
The reporter asked, “So, are you the first person to find out that Xiao Yunyun has an affair with her brother? Is this discovery the trigger for the red packet incident?”
“Yes, I was more or less aware of it, but they are brother and sister after all, so I didn’t think too much about it at first.” With this, Lin Zhixia sneered. “Later, I found out that they actually bought a couple’s pajamas.”
Then, Lin Zhixia showed the sales records of pajamas of a certain brand, which clearly showed that Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan each bought a suit of animal-style one-piece pajamas of this brand, and the two sets were designed for couples.
The topic “Shen Yuechuan, Xiao Yunyun, and the couple pajamas” quickly became a hot topic, and the comments were even more unpleasant to the eye.
Some people said, “Haha, they are indeed sleeping together!”
Some people asked, “Isn’t it inconvenient to take off one-piece pajamas? As expected, they are brother and sister. They are so patient and shameless. I admire them!”
Someone scolded, “These two shameless guys! They insulted the couple pajamas! Those who bought the same style will be able to “role play” in the future, haha.”
Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help sneering after reading the news.
Lin Zhixia didn’t mention that she also had pajamas of the same style, but only emphasized the couple style of her and Shen Yuechuan. If Lin Zhixia didn’t want to guide public opinions to attack her, what did she want to do?
Anyway, no matter what Lin Zhixia’s purpose was, she should be satisfied now—Xiao Yunyun had suffered many times of insults and accusations she had suffered at that time today.
As soon as she exited the topic page, Xiao Yunyun’s cell phone rang, and there was no caller ID.
Xiao Yunyun was wondering if she should answer the phone when Shen Yuechuan woke up. She showed the phone to him and said, “I don’t know who’s calling.”
Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and said, “Just answer it. It should be your friend.”
He was so sure because there were no more than five people who knew this number. If others wanted to know this number and contact Xiao Yunyun, they could only rely on Su Jian’an or Luo Xiaoxi.
Since Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi were willing to give him the number, it meant that this person was safe and trustworthy.
Xiao Yunyun answered the call, and Qin Han’s roar immediately sounded. “You! What are you doing!”
“…” Xiao Yunyun subconsciously took the phone away from her ear and said casually, “You should have seen it all on the Internet.”
“I wanted to explode on the spot because I saw it!” Qin Han roared. “What’s wrong with you? Why did the matter turn out like this? Don’t you know how to respond? Don’t you know how to fight back? Are you stupid?”
The comments that Xiao Yunyun saw were as merciless and unpleasant to the eye as the content that Young Master Qin saw.
No wonder Young Master Qin would piss off.
Xiao Yunyun sat up and said helplessly, “What’s there to respond to—are we telling everyone that it’s true? As for counterattack… In addition to some netizens’ speculations, what’s said on the Internet is mostly true. The brother-sister love between Shen Yuechuan and me is a fact. We have no room to fight back.”
Only then did Qin Han remember that Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun knew nothing about it.
What… F*ck!
Young Master Qin finally calmed down. “Does Aunt Yunjin know about this?”
“My mom is still in Australia. She probably doesn’t know about it,” Xiao Yunyun said with distress, “I don’t know how to explain it to her.”
Qin Han suddenly changed the subject. “How is your hand injury? Didn’t Aunt Yunjin know that you had a car accident?”
“Yeah, she didn’t know.” Xiao Yunyun smiled. “But my hand will soon recover. It doesn’t matter whether my mom knows about my injury or not.”
“You can recover from your injury?” Qin Han pondered strangely for a moment and suddenly said in a deep voice, “I know.”
Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes in confusion. “What do you know?”
“Nothing. Take good care of yourself.” Qin Han seemed to come to his senses and said seriously, “I’ll help you with what happened between you and Shen Yuechuan.”
