Chapter 1459: Fabricating a Scandal (Part 2)

"What’s the matter?" Song Jiaqi asked, looking at them both in confusion.

It seemed like Anyang already knew.

Since he accompanied them here, it must be something related to him.

"Is it because we’re not cooperating well enough?"

"No, no," the director laughed and waved his hand, "Jia Qi, don’t worry. You two are cooperating very well, and your interactions feel natural and progressive. It’s just that it’s so good that we wanted to discuss something with you. As for Anyang, there’s no issue; now it’s up to you."

Song Jiaqi was even more confused.

What’s this about...

Anyang said, "What the director means is that since we are both single now, let’s do a few more episodes, make our interactions a bit more ambiguous, and create some buzz. They really think we’re a great pair. Around the fourth or fifth episode, we’ll reveal that we’re actually dating. That’s what this is about."

Song Jiaqi was somewhat surprised: "So, it means we are supposed to start a relationship rumor?"

"Yes, simply put, it’s about starting a rumor, creating topics, and boosting the sense of you two as a couple to a higher level. This way, our show becomes more entertaining, and there’s more for the audience to discuss."

This decision came a bit quickly; it wasn’t something discussed before filming started.

Suddenly bringing it up, perhaps it was their chemistry on the first day of shooting that inspired the production team with this idea.

Song Jiaqi was taken aback, and the director quickly added, "Of course, it’s up to the artists’ willingness, and ultimately it’s between the two of you. Once it’s confirmed, this relationship needs to be maintained for a certain period, at least half a year, right? Once the show airs, if you both become popular, there will be an endless stream of commercial activities, maybe even up to a year. This relates to your personal life, so you need to consider it carefully."

Worried that Anyang might think it was his issue, Song Jiaqi added, "Actually, Director, Anyang, my biggest concern isn’t known to you, but it’s Xiaoxi. If I agree to this, I don’t know how to explain it to the child. She might really start seeing Anyang as a potential dad."

"I don’t mind," Anyang smiled and shrugged, "Xiaoxi is so cute, I could try being a practice dad, which would be good experience for being a real dad in the future."

Although Song Jiaqi believed Anyang meant no harm, she didn’t quite feel comfortable with what he said.

What was that! Was her Xiaoxi just a trial for him?

A practice dad...

She didn’t plan to leave Xiaoxi with any psychological shadows!

"At Xiaoxi’s age, there are so many things she might understand or not, so considering Xiaoxi’s feelings, I might need to think it over, Director."

"Ah...we really neglected Xiaoxi’s feelings. No worries! You can think about it and get back to us later."

Of course, in reality, Song Jiaqi hadn’t planned on accepting this at all, but she didn’t want to embarrass Anyang, so she intended to give them an answer later.

Isn’t it just a reality show? There’s no need to jumpstart a rumor!

The director had other matters and needed to arrange the next dinner shoot.

Anyang didn’t leave and said to Song Jiaqi, "Hungry? Since we’re still on break, let’s grab something to eat nearby. I just noticed there’s a western restaurant around here."
