Capítulo 2308: Chapter 2308: Seizing the Chance for Hype

After Luo Ziling led a group of women to escape Wansheng Street, they didn’t immediately return but fulfilled his promise by taking them for a late-night snack.

He followed Yang Ying’s suggestion and found a famously reputed lobster restaurant near Jinling Street to treat everyone to some lobsters.

Actually, the scene just now had been encountered several times before by Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin.

They just didn’t expect to run into it again today.

Even though they went out at night, they still wore hats and glasses, but they were still recognized.

The main reason they were recognized and surrounded wasn’t because of them, but because some sharp-eyed young girls recognized Luo Ziling, the national heartthrob, and screamed as they ran over to take photos with him, trying to hold his hand, which attracted more onlookers.

With Luo Ziling being recognized, they were also recognized, resulting in a frenzy of people crowding around to look.

Fortunately, with the people around Luo Ziling providing strong protection, they managed to escape the chaos without any danger.

Dai Shulan was quite regretful since she really wanted to take a stroll along that charming street with Luo Ziling.

Unfortunately, she was interrupted by Luo Yuqing and a few other women, which also held some responsibility on Wuyue, leaving her a bit disgruntled towards those women.

Meanwhile, Luo Yuqing blamed Luo Ziling for his audacity to play on Wansheng Street without any protection, almost causing trouble.

Wuyue had opinions on everyone, as she just risked her life protecting Luo Ziling.

If there had been a criminal mixed in the crowd or someone nearby aiming a sniper rifle, Luo Ziling might have been in trouble.

Only Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin didn’t mind; they even felt it was exciting.

Being able to join Luo Ziling in eating at a street stall they didn’t dare go to before, for late-night snacks, seemed worth it to them.

Before, they were afraid of ruining their image, being surrounded by fans, and worried about the hygiene of street stalls, so they didn’t dare to come to such places.

Actually, they were all young girls, and joining crowds and shopping was in their nature.

Especially with Luo Ziling by their side, they were even more eager to go out and have fun with him.

Even with so many people around, having Luo Ziling with them still made them quite excited.

Once seated in the private room of the famous lobster restaurant, they remained excited.

In this weather, most late-night snack eaters prefer to sit outdoors to enjoy their food.

The outdoors feels airy and refreshing.

That’s why, even though the lobster restaurant had many patrons, there were still vacant private rooms.

Of course, after ten o’clock, no matter how nice the weather, there would be no vacant seats, so they arrived just in time.

Once seated, Zhao Lijing, Yang Ying, and Cheng Binbin began chatting without reservations about their past experiences of being surrounded by crowds.

Although Luo Yuqing had some complaints about what just happened, she didn’t express any more grievances after sitting down in the private room. She joined in the conversation with the three female celebrities. Meanwhile, while they were talking animatedly, Luo Ziling’s phone, placed on the table, started ringing.

Seeing it was Ouyang Feifei calling, Luo Ziling frowned slightly before getting up to answer the call.

“Why do you always seem to stir up so much trouble wherever you go?” Ouyang Feifei’s tone had a bit of banter, “What, despite several assassination attempts, you still have the mood to hang out with a group of beauties?”

“Who’s your informant? Yang Xiaodong?” Luo Ziling asked warily.

“What informant!” Ouyang Feifei sounded slightly annoyed, “Haven’t you been checking online posts? Or the comments on Weibo?”

“What do you mean?” Despite asking, Luo Ziling immediately thought of the events from earlier in the evening. Before Ouyang Feifei could answer, he asked, “Did someone take photos of us while we were playing on Wansheng Street just now and post them online?”

“Yes, how come you’re so late to realize that?” There was a hint of sarcasm in Ouyang Feifei’s words, “I just came out from seeing your mom. In the car, when I checked my phone, suddenly loads of messages popped up, all gossip news about you and several female celebrities. I’m truly envious; wherever you go, there’s a flock of beautiful women accompanying you.”

“If you’re envious, you can find a group of handsome guys to accompany you; after all, you have the financial power!”

Ouyang Feifei was startled, realizing Luo Ziling’s meaning, and got angry, “What are you saying?”

“Why did you go to my house to see my mom today?” Luo Ziling directly changed the topic.

“To discuss some cooperative matters with your mom and also talk about you,” Ouyang Feifei answered, then stubbornly switched back to the previous topic, “If you haven’t checked it out, I suggest you take a look now and post a statement on Weibo; otherwise, your image might get ruined.”

“Alright!” Finally understanding the seriousness of the situation, Luo Ziling didn’t further enquire about what Ouyang Feifei and Ling Ruonan talked about, hurriedly ending the call.

After hanging up, Luo Ziling immediately opened Weibo to check the fans’ messages.

He had received hundreds of private messages just now, all asking about issues related to the contents of the trending online posts. They were mainly asking if Luo Ziling really accompanied so many beauties on an outing? And whether he had ambiguous relations with several beauties? Why wasn’t Yang Qingyin among them; was Luo Ziling thinking of shifting his affections?

Luo Ziling took a look at those trending online posts, and immediately got furious.

However, he didn’t immediately post anything to satisfy the curiosities of his fans; instead, he returned to the private room and informed the talkative women about the matter. Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s words, Luo Yuqing’s expression changed instantly, and she took out her phone to search for the posts.

Dai Shulan, whose expression also changed, brought out her phone to check the related messages.

Zhao Lijing, Yang Ying, and Cheng Binbin almost simultaneously took out their phones to check their own Weibo and the trending posts online.

Luo Ziling’s Weibo currently had 41 million followers, and Zhao Lijing’s followers exceeded his, nearing 50 million, while Cheng Binbin and Yang Ying also had over 40 million followers apiece. The three women’s followers had some overlap, and of course, with Luo Ziling’s followers as well. But regardless of whether the followers overlapped or not, the intentions of following celebrities and the national heartthrob Luo Ziling were inherently different.

It’s just that today, Luo Ziling got himself entangled with them.

Upon seeing the online messages, Cheng Binbin laughed playfully, “Mr. Luo, you’ve boosted our fan base! I really wish someone would spread rumors about me and you; that way, my popularity would soar. Hehe, you’re the national heartthrob, the dream lover in the hearts of many girls; if there’s a rumor about us, many of your fans will start following me!”

Yang Ying had similar thoughts as Cheng Binbin but didn’t express them aloud.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuqing immediately had an idea and instructed Luo Ziling, who was about to post an explanation on Weibo, “Don’t explain just yet. Let the rumors simmer overnight, and explain tomorrow morning. Think of it as the internet forces helping promote our show, it’s a good thing, more effective than advertising.”

“Alright!” Luo Ziling agreed.

He truly admired Luo Yuqing’s quick-witted response.
