CHAPTER 112
"YOU WHAT?!"
Even Xu Fang could not believe what his ears were hearing now and more than anything he wished to hear the full story.
"I would speak to you later but for now," he sighed before massaging his brows. "For now I need to take care of that video online."
"Okay. One question though, when was this considering you recently met Andromeda. So when did you and her make enemies considering it was only yesterday she was revealed as your top fashion designer?"
"Xu Fang."
"No. Cause no matter how I think of it, you wouldn't be that way and lose your control to have her without her acceptance or are you two already dating? How come I never know. Why am I always in the dark here?"
"Xu Fang!"
Liu Xueyi could barely process anything at this point. His brain was trying to figure out so much and yet Xu Fang was becoming a nagging wife?
Jeez!
"What?"
"Just keep quiet for once."
"Okay. I am quiet." Both of them paused for a few seconds before Xu Fang continued. "But really. I want to know, when was this? How come I did not…"
BEEP! BEEP!
Liu Xueyi did not wait for him to complete his sentence before he ended the call.
"Leave it to him to want to figure out everything. Stupid boy."
Directly his hands typed away on his laptop as he went straight online, wanting to see the much random video.
Another heavy sigh was left out for the umpteenth time that morning. He was tired. Out of everyone that was to happen to, she was the one.
The comments that followed after it was named that she was the one in the video were something else.
It was as though the fame of her designs immediately went under like it never existed while their hate speeches overflooded the net.
Taking up his phone again, Liu Xueyi dialled a number and waited for it to be answered.
The moment he heard the sound of the other person's breath, he dove right in.
"Get that nonsense video trending on social media and the internet about my top designer, down at every means and cost."
"Got it, sir."
*Flashback Ends*
"Liu Xueyi. Do not keep me quiet!" Andromeda hollered at him.
She was already agitated at this point, calling and calling his name but got no reply.
"Xueyi!" She breathed out heavily as her eyes narrowed, her brows forming a deep line between her brows.
She did not know and her curiosity got the better of her.
With the phone still hanging on her ear and supported by her left shoulder, Andromeda picked up her iPad and immediately went online.
"Umm, sorry, Andromeda? I spaced out a bit," He apologized.
Her fingers paused and she waited for his next words. Gradually, her chest rose and fell, taking in a deep breath to calm her nerves.
Adding to her forceful wake-up, this wasn't what she needed to get her brain straight together.
"Do you trust me?" He inquired, pinching his nose a bit.
"I trust, Xueyi, but you are making me scared."
"I am sorry. It wasn't my intention. However, I have my reason."
"But you cannot shield me from whatever wrong is out there. I deserve to know too."
"I know and you wo…" He refrained from saying those words.
If he could, then come rain, come sunshine, she would not have to see it.
"But you so know that you can shield me from something but you cannot shield me from the glares and wicked eyes of the world, Liu Xueyi, right?"
"I know but please."
"I am sorry, Liu Xueyi, but I cannot do that. Ever since I agreed to be known, I was prepared for whatever lies they would put out there."
"Then what if I say, this one wasn't a lie? What would you do?" He interjected quickly.
"Then face the truth head-on. I am not scared, so you do not have to fret for me."
"You are one stubborn human being, you know that, right?"
"Yes. My father had enough headaches for me. I know. Do not worry. I would be fine."
"Okay."
Neither of them spoke for a minute and remained on the phone listening to the sound of their breathing.
He wanted to hurry there and hold her in his arms. Speak comfortably to her and cuddle her till this phase was washed away.
There were both reliefs in his mind and at the same time, worries. He had wanted to find her for a long time and now he did.
More importantly, he was the one he had feelings for. But the sheer thought of that was both scary and good.
He had the best part of his life hidden. Being an actor, he did not want his private life known but keeping such from her, he wasn't sure.
And then in situations like this, with scandals about the place, the dangers of his fans and kidnappers. He just could not afford to put her in harm's way.
Unknown to him, while his mind was busy thinking about the different problems that could occur and his joy all the same time, Andromeda had gone online and seen everything.
Her eyes flew wide open when she realized what the video contained. The one night of her life she wished would go away.
Although it liberated her from Wu Bai and his deceit, it was also the night her dignity was gone to a stranger.
Her eyes blurred with each scroll of her fingers and she read the news about her being a whore.
The more she read, the more her breathing ragged and soon enough, Liu Xueyi noticed it all.
"Wu Bai," she said through gritted teeth, holding back the urge to scream in rage. "That scoundrel."
"Andromeda?"
He stood up from his seat once more as his concern grew up a big notch.
"Andromeda, what is going on? Speak to me?"
"No. I just... I saw."
"You saw?" He took a second to understand her his lips dropped. "You went on social media, didn't you?"
"Yes. You know what. I'm sorry I have to go."
She did not give him a chance and ended the call. As much as she thought she was prepared for it, when it finally came, her heart sunk.
