"So... as the rumors say, her dad never came back?"
"I heard from a friend at the TV station that since Song Jiaqi started working there, sheâs been single and raising a kid on her own, taking on many jobs to support herself and her child. Theyâve never seen any man around her. Since itâs about her personal privacy, itâs not something they would ask, but colleagues have privately discussed it, speculating whether sheâs been dumped by an irresponsible man, leaving her in this situation."
Ye Yang frowned upon hearing this.
Girls just donât know how to protect themselves!
Now look, sheâs had the baby, but her boyfriend ran off, leaving her to raise the child alone.
Just as he was thinking, Andyâs voice rose from the other end, "Hiss... I say, Young Master Ye Yang, could you be that irresponsible man?"
"Get lost!" Ye Yang felt upset.
How could he possibly be irresponsible?
He was careful to take precautions, and if the child was indeed his, Song Jiaqi wouldnât avoid seeking him out, right? It wouldnât make sense for her never to inform him.
Ye Yang stood outside for a while, attracting some passersby who stopped to glance at him.
Since his disguise was somewhat odd, people might wonder if he was a celebrity, and getting recognized by a die-hard fan would be troublesome.
So he quickly returned to the dessert shop, noticing it was slightly noisy inside. Song Jiaqi and Song Xiaoxi were intently staring at a particular direction. As Ye Yang walked back to his seat, he asked, "What are you watching?"
Song Xiaoxi looked at him, her lips trembling, looking pitiful, "Oppa..."
Following their gaze, Ye Yang finally noticed that the TV screen inside the dessert shop was showing him!
The headline read "Explosive Scandal."
The host animatedly discussed Ye Yang, who had just been exposed for having a "daughter," and now another explosive news with rising star Luâer spending a night together. Judging by the timing, Ye Yang and Luâer were seen leaving a hotel together just a week ago, and it was said Ye Yang was secretly blackmailed, but since he didnât agree to settle with money, the informer chose to leak these photos instead.
The dessert shop burst into screams of shock.
"How could this happen... My husbandâs taste couldnât be that bad! And Luâer! That stage name is really disgusting! Clearly a fake innocent girl pretending to be pure!"
"How could Ye Yang fancy Luâer, that girl whoâs had cosmetic surgery! Who knows how many shots sheâs had on her face!"
"Just a rich second generation riding on her dadâs coattails! I heard she does drugs and leads an extremely disorderly lifestyle!"
"My heart feels as gross as eating ****..."
Song Jiaqi and Xiaoxi kept watching the screen, listening to the commentary, while Ye Yang seemed indifferent, even asking Song Xiaoxi, "Why arenât you eating?"
Song Xiaoxi pouted, about to cry, "Oppa, you have a girlfriendâ"
Before she finished, her mouth was covered by Ye Yang, "Shh, donât make a scene, itâs bad if people hear."
Just as the news released, everyone was glued to the TV, paying no mind to them, so it felt safer.
Song Xiaoxi nodded, and Ye Yang let her go.
Yet she kept feeling heartbroken, "Oppa has a girlfriend... not me..."
Two little fingers pressed against each other.
After watching the entertainment news, Song Jiaqi looked away, suddenly commenting, "I think Luâer is quite pretty. Her face seems quite natural, why does it look like sheâs had cosmetic surgery?"
