Wei Wucai quickly kept his mood under control and went back into the room, pretending like nothing had happened.

When he closed the door, he heard Yan Zhiqing say, “Why are you doing things like a straight guy would! You don’t care about my feelings at all. You forced me to wake up when I didn’t feel like it.”

So it was because of this.

Wei Wucai let out a sigh of relief and responded, “Yes. Yes. Yes. It’s all my fault.”

He continued, “Rest after you are done eating. I won’t disturb you until dinner time.”

Yan Zhiqing’s mind cleared up instantly. “There’s still dinner?”

“Are you not going to eat dinner? You can’t not have dinner!” Wei Wucai said immediately.

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Even before it had happened, Yan Zhiqing could already foresee the pain she would feel today.

But this time, Wei Wucai didn’t leave right after lunch.

When he saw Yan Zhiqing looking over, he said immediately, “I will leave after you’ve taken your medicine. It’s just so I won’t have to call you and wake you up later. In addition, you can’t sleep immediately after eating. I was careless this morning. I didn’t expect you to sleep immediately after breakfast.”

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Did he intend to stare at her for half an hour while waiting for her to take her medicine?

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Wei Wucai got up to open the door.

When Yan Zhiqing saw this, she knew that she couldn’t allow that to happen. She immediately stopped him while saying, “You can’t open the door!”

Wei Wucai looked at her with a puzzled expression. Yan Zhiqing thus explained, “It’s my room.”

Wei Wucai then understood.

To someone without any official title, something like this always felt heart-wrenching.

And so, Wei Wucai stayed still.

Yan Zhiqing first put the chain lock on the door.

When she was sure that the people outside would not be able to see Wei Wucai, she then cracked open the door.

She saw Fang Qiaohan standing outside the door with an anxious expression.

“What happened?” Yan Zhiqing asked when she saw that it was Fang Qiaohan.

Yan Zhiqing then took off the chain lock and opened the door.

“Zhiqing, you—” Fang Qiaohan said while rushing inside the room.

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Wei Wucai inside Yan Zhiqing’s room.

Fang Qiaohan froze. She blinked and her mind went blank for a while.

She stared at Wei Wucai, and then she stared at Yan Zhiqing before she stared back at Wei Wucai.

Her eyes widened and her mouth went agape.

Fang Qiaohan gave Yan Zhiqing a look as she said, “Didn’t you say that you guys weren’t together?”

Fang Qiaohan said the truth.

But Yan Zhiqing still couldn’t help feeling guilty when she had to say it in front of Wei Wucai.

Yan Zhiqing subconsciously looked over to see the expression on Wei Wucai’s face.

When she saw that he didn’t react much, she explained guiltily, “I was sick, right? You were sick too. I just wanted to let you rest. And so, Wei Wucai bought me lunch.”

Fang Qiaohan raised her brow and said, “Oh.”

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Fang Qiaohan said, “Zhiqing, tell me the truth. You two are not together, right?”

“No,” Yan Zhiqing said.

“I am courting her,” Wei Wucai said at the same time.

Fang Qiaohan didn’t intentionally lower her voice earlier.

Of course, even if she tried whispering, Wei Wucai would have still heard her.

Fang Qiaohan glanced over at Wei Wucai and then at Yan Zhiqing.

The relationship between the two was too horrible.

They couldn’t even say if they were actually together.

And now, how were they going to even explain this?

“What happened?” Yan Zhiqing asked.

“The paparazzi gave Elder Sister Mou a call just now. They said they took pictures of you coming out of Wei Wucai’s room and wearing his pajamas,” Fang Qiaohan said. “Therefore, they asked Elder Sister Mou if she intends to buy these pictures. If she doesn’t, they will publish them right away.”

“How did they take the pictures? They shouldn’t have been able to come up here if they are not hotel guests,” Yan Zhiqing said.

“Because you guys had a scandal. Most of the outlets are waiting outside the hotel or the studio to snap your pictures. But this outlet had invested a lot and even booked rooms in the hotel.”

Fang Qiaohan continued to explain, “They booked a room on your floor and a room on Wei Wucai’s floor. It’s so they can get their pictures no matter which room you go to.

“And so, when you came out of Wei Wucai’s room this morning, they got pictures of you.” Fang Qiaohan took out her phone and showed it to Yan Zhiqing.

“They sent a picture to Elder Sister Mou when they contacted her,” Fang Qiaohan said.

If the other party hadn’t provided any evidence, they wouldn’t possibly believe them.

Yan Zhiqing stared at the picture in Fang Qiaohan’s hand.

They had taken a picture right when she had run out of Wei Wucai’s room while wearing his pajamas.

If one didn’t know the truth and only looked at this picture, one would think that Yan Zhiqing had spent the night at Wei Wucai’s room.

Of course, it was true.

But she had only slept in Wei Wucai’s room and did nothing else.

Obviously, just by looking at this picture, no one would think that they had spent the night in this room and had done nothing.

“They want one million,” Fang Qiaohan said. “Therefore, you have to make the decision. You guys are now… Sigh…”

Fang Qiaohan felt as though words could not express how pressed she felt right now.

“If you guys were really together, we could have just announced that you two are dating, which means that it wouldn’t have mattered to you two if they ended up publishing the pictures. But you two are not together. If the pictures were published, who would believe that there is really nothing going on between you two?

“The netizens would just think that you two had refused to admit it despite the current situation. You two were either treating the netizens as fools or were merely fooling around with each other and gaining satisfaction from each other. Zhiqing, if that’s the case, there will be a negative impact on your public image.”

Yan Zhiqing was so angry that she ranted, “These people are so boring. Whether or not I am dating or whoever I am dating has nothing to do with them!

“It’s fine if they usually just follow me around to take pictures of me. But now, they even came outside my room to wait for me.” The thought of this sent chills down Yan Zhiqing’s spine.

At least she knew about it when they were only following her.

But now, they had waited outside her door while she had no idea.

This was terrifying.

Who knows what other scary things might happen in the future?

There were so many pairs of eyes prying into her personal life.

She had no privacy.

Couldn’t she even enjoy a somewhat normal life?

Whether or not she was dating Wei Wucai or when she even started dating, she should have the right to announce it. She shouldn’t need to explain anything to those paparazzi.

It’s her private matter. Why should she be explaining anything to those people?

These people were clearly blackmailing her!

“Which media outlet?” Wei Wucai asked.

Fang Qiaohan did not know that Wei Wucai was part of the Mount Lan Compound. When Wei Wucai asked this, she just answered, “It’s Hou Wu’s.”

“Wait a moment for me,” Wei Wucai said and immediately walked to the door. “I will be back in a bit. Don’t worry about this and don’t make any decisions now. Let’s talk about it after I come back.”
