Jing Mo t s expression was dark, and his gaze was icy, leaving Xia Xin too afraid to speak.

Xia Xin was puzzled. She thought, ‘I hadn’t done anything wrong, so why did I

feel like I had?’

Jing MO remained silent, and Xia Xin couldn’t stand the silence any longer. She asked, “You’ve been silent the whole time. Is this issue really serious?” Still, Jing MO didn’t speak.

Xia Xin muttered to herself, wondering why he wasn’t saying anything.

On the other hand, Bobo whimpered softly, “Oh no, Master seems angry. Master rarely gets angry, but when he does, the consequences are severe. He might even stop giving us snacks!”

Hearing Bobo’s words, Layle shrank back, taking two steps back in fear. Both dogs hid in their kennel, not daring to show their faces.

Xia Xin and Jing MO sat there awkwardly, neither of them saying a word. It wasn’t until Sun Hu arrived, his anger evident, that Xia Xin finally rushed to the door and opened it.

As soon as Sun Hu entered, he impatiently asked Xia Xin, “Can you explain what’s going on with those pictures circulating online?”

Xia Xin felt that now wasn’t the time to discuss this matter, so she gave Sun Hu a meaningful look, silently urging him not to bring it up. Unfortunately, Sun Hu didn’t understand her gaze and asked, “Why are you winking and making faces at me?”

Xia Xin was at a loss and glanced at Jing MO, who had been sitting there silently the whole time.

Suddenly, Jing MO stood up and said, “You two can talk. I’m going upstairs.” With that, Jing MO headed upstairs to his study.

Sun Hu was completely out of the loop and asked, “What’s wrong with him?” Xia Xin shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know.

However, Sun Hu seemed to suddenly understand something and gave a meaningful look toward the closed door.

Xia Xin asked Sun Hu, “Do you think Jing MO is angry?”

Sun Hu sighed, “I think he’s pretending to be mute. Don’t mind him.” Xia Xin looked at Sun Hu, completely puzzled.

Sun Hu, sensing Xia Xin’s confusion, said impatiently, “You’re not in any position to care about others right now. Explain to me what happened!” Xia Xin realized that Sun Hu was in an agitated state and tried to calm him down. She then proceeded to tell him what had happened yesterday afternoon.

After listening to Xia Xin’s explanation, Sun Hu furrowed his brow, put his thumb on his chin, and rubbed it thoughtfully with his index finger, looking like he was deep in thought. Then he said, “In MO Shu’s case, it seems he was drugged. He never gets drunk in front of others. You happened to be nearby, and he sought your help. You should consider yourself lucky that it was just a spiked drink. If it were something stronger, you’d be in serious trouble.”

Hearing that possibility, Xia Xin suddenly felt a chill.

Sun Hu sighed helplessly, “I swear, you seem to encounter every stroke of bad luck. You realize that anything you do now can affect your fanbase, right? Fans can be terrifying, you know?”

“Then can’t I make a clarification statement now?” Xia Xin asked tentatively.

Sun Hu sat down on the couch, opened a bottle of mineral water, and drank half of it. He had been busy all day and had not had the time to drink a mouthful of water, which made him extremely thirsty.

Xia Xin sat down beside Sun Hu and waited for his reply.

Sun Hu finished his water and threw the empty mineral water bottle on the ground. He said, “No, your photos are too clear. It’s easy to explain if it’s a little blurry. Such a clear picture is solid!”

Xia Xin got up and picked up the mineral water bottle and threw it into the trash can. She complained, “Stop making trash around. It’s very hard to clean.”

Sun Hu shrugged and apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m used to the cleaning lady coming to clean every day.”

Sun Hu continued, “And since you’ve just debuted, any action you take could potentially harm your career. So, there’s only one solution for now.”

Xia Xin stood up straight, lower her gaze at Sun Hu, and asked, “What’s the solution?”

Sun Hu said, “It’s simple. Zhang Chao and I have discussed it. You and MO Shu will pretend to be a couple to minimize the impact of this situation on both of you.”

Xia Xin repeated in shock, “What?! Pretend to be a couple?”

“No!” The study door swung open, and Jing MO walked out. “I disagree.” Xia Xin stared blankly at Jing MO and then at Sun Hu. She nodded and echoed,

Sun Hu sighed in exasperation, “Neither of you agrees to anything right now, so how am I supposed to resolve this? I don’t want my newly acquired artist to go cold so soon. Do you know how scary fans can be?”

Xia Xin nodded. She, who had frequently been the target of online attacks, was all too familiar with this..
