Still fuming, she rushed down the stairs. But in her anger, she slipped, fell hard, and tumbled down the staircase.

She lost consciousness on the spot and lay there for a long time before a passing neighbor discovered her and called an ambulance.

That night, Shen Yiyi’s knee pain kept her from sleeping well. The next morning, she didn’t wake up until 11 a.m.

Huang Kankan had just received a video from a private investigator, showing Lucy being lifted onto a stretcher by paramedics.

“Serves her right,” he thought smugly. She picked the wrong person to mess with. Boss Zexi is the type who always settles scores.

Shen Yiyi walked out in her pajamas.

“Kankan, what are you grinning about?”

“You’re awake?” Huang Kankan said quickly.

“Lucy was the one who ordered the staff to drug your drink and spill water in the restroom. She’s seriously vicious. Karma really hit her today, she fell at home and broke her leg.”

“So it was her,” Shen Yiyi said, surprised. One encounter, and she’d already been targeted like this.

The world really was full of strange people.

Huang Kankan was about to continue gossiping about Lin Yang’s poor judgment when his phone rang.

He picked it up, and his expression immediately changed into something overly polite.

“Brother Mo? What? Really? Okay, I’ll tell Zexi right away.”

His expression turned serious as he hung up.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yiyi asked, noticing Huang Kankan’s expression and guessing something bad had come up again.

“Yiyi… you’re trending again,” Huang Kankan said, pulling up the latest headline: Lin Zexi and a mysterious woman spotted at a hospital, suspected pregnancy check-up.

Below the article was a dark, blurry photo. In it, both Lin Zexi and Shen Yiyi were wearing masks.

He was holding her arm, and the two of them looked unexpectedly close, almost like a couple.

The news had already exploded online, with millions of views and over 300,000 comments.

【Which woman is pregnant with my Zexi’s child?】
【Shameless woman trying to trap Zexi with a baby.】
【Men really can’t control themselves… I’m out of this fandom.】
【Zexi must have been out of his mind to like her.】
【Who is this woman seducing my Zexi? Trying to marry into wealth? We don’t accept it.】
【How to seduce men 101—can someone teach me?】

Shen Yiyi stared at the flood of insults on the screen, then leaned back and looked up at the ceiling helplessly.

Since when did being a makeup artist become such a high-risk job?

A shadow fell over her. Shen Yiyi turned around and saw Lin Zexi standing behind her, a faint smile that wasn’t quite a smile on his face.

“Boss, have you seen the news? Are you going to issue a clarification?” she asked quickly.

“Why would I?” Lin Zexi said lazily. “My son and daughter are practically on the way already.”

Shen Yiyi stared at him in confusion.

“Boss, they’re calling me a fox spirit* who seduced you. They’re even saying they’re going to dox me. You can’t just stand by and do nothing,” she said pitifully.

*A “fox spirit” is a woman who is seen as seductive and “tempting men away”, often in a negative or insulting way. 

Lin Zexi lowered his gaze to her. Their eyes met.

He leaned closer slowly.

Shen Yiyi watched his face approach inch by inch, so close that their noses were about to touch.

Startled, she instinctively stepped back.

But Lin Zexi’s hand caught her waist and pulled her steady, closing the distance between them.

Huang Kankan, standing nearby, was completely stunned. Is Boss… teasing her?

He cleared his throat awkwardly.

Shen Yiyi quickly broke free from Lin Zexi’s arm and stepped aside.

Lin Zexi shot Huang Kankan an unhappy glance.

“Boss, are we not issuing a statement?” Huang Kankan asked carefully. “You don’t seem bothered by the scandal this time.”

“Do whatever you want,” Lin Zexi said casually, hands in his pockets as he walked away.

Shen Yiyi limped onto the sofa and plopped down.

The emperor isn’t anxious, so why should I be? She casually picked a suspense film to pass the time.

Seeing that neither the “main characters” were worried, Huang Kankan also relaxed.

If they don’t care, why should I stress? He grabbed a big bag of chips and sat down next to Shen Yiyi to watch the movie together.
