Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2860 I Really Have Something on My Mind with You

Seeing the situation continue to escalate, Tokino felt things were not going well.

So, I contacted the public relations department and asked them to control the direction of public opinion.

After hearing Shino's account, the public relations department responded rather perfunctorily, saying, "It's just netizens getting carried away and joining in the fun. The more we try to handle it, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion from the outside world, giving people the feeling that we are trying to cover it up."

It's better to leave it alone; things will cool down naturally, and the hype will gradually die down.

Tokino, puzzled, asked in return, "Is that really true?"

Seeing this, the public relations department immediately gave an example to support their point of view, saying: "For example, a few days ago, the public opinion was also in an uproar, but not long after, the public's attention subsided on its own."

The situation this time is actually quite similar; handling it in the same way will be just as effective.

Upon hearing this, Tokino, though still somewhat skeptical, refrained from pressing further.

So, after a moment of silence, he did not offer any further opinion.

The public relations department breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding. The future wife of the Loo Group gave instructions that there was no need to deal with the rumors about the two of them. In fact, she was even to secretly fan the flames and make the news seem as real as possible.

It is simply impossible to reverse the related public opinion.

On the contrary, the public relations department's next task is to secretly add fuel to the fire, making these false rumors seem more real and credible.

Shi Ye had no idea what the head of public relations was thinking at the time, but afterwards he did take a look at the video clips that went viral.

Perhaps influenced by the online discussions, when he looked back at those scenes, he vaguely felt that Xia Lin's gaze towards him did indeed seem to harbor affection.

The glimmer in those eyes made him feel a little dazed.

However, Shi Ye quickly snapped out of this brief illusion, shook his head sharply, and told himself not to overinterpret it.

If I remember correctly, Marcy had previously said that Charlene was a fan of hers.

Doesn't a fan often show this kind of look when gazing at their idol?

That kind of gaze, though intense, should be completely different from the attraction between a man and a woman.

Tokino had already convinced himself and decided not to waver in his inner thoughts.

However, in that instant, he saw the girl's slightly reddened eyes, and that moist and shy gaze once again gently struck at his previously firm belief.

He was silent for a moment, then finally spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a barely perceptible probing, "Before, Marcy said you were my fan, are you still now?"

"what?"

Charlene was clearly taken aback by his sudden question and could only stare at him blankly.

A few seconds later, she seemed to come to her senses, lowered her head slightly, and said in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "Um...yes."

Shi Ye nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

His tone softened, as if he were trying to reassure someone, or perhaps explaining to himself: "These past two days, there's been a lot of news going on online, and some netizens are talking about our relationship. You don't need to take it too seriously!"

He paused for a moment, as if choosing his words carefully, before continuing, "This kind of heat usually dissipates after a while... it shouldn't cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Charlene's nerves tensed up.

Online news?

Does it mean you like his remarks?

Is he... not heeding the netizens' analysis?

Charlene felt guilty and thought her actions were obvious.

But she never considered one question.

What if the other person doesn't receive any of her hints or expressions of attraction?

Like casting a seductive glance at a blind man, no matter how many emotions one has, it's still just a one-person show.

Now it seems... I might have really encountered this absurd situation.

Charlene found it funny at first, but then felt like she had failed.

Even the way he looks at you, which you can't hide, can be turned into the kind of fan worship you feel.

This is just too tragic!

She was even anxious and embarrassed about this for the entire night.

As it turned out, the other party didn't even consider that possibility.

Charlene found herself increasingly both amused and exasperated.

However, on second thought, it doesn't seem so bad.

At least, she won't be so nervous when facing him in the future, and she can continue to maintain a natural and relaxed way of getting along.

Moreover, it must be said that this misunderstanding has become an excellent excuse.

If she ever has the chance to confess her feelings in the future, even if she is rejected, she can use the excuse of "a fan's worship of their idol" to justify herself.

This way, one can retain their self-respect while also having a way to save face.

In this way, it seems that even the concerns about confessing one's feelings have been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin's mood gradually calmed down, but she still felt a vague sense of resentment.

She couldn't help but think to herself: all these days, she had been secretly in love with him, tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, while he had always remained so calm.

This stark contrast stirred an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

Charlene couldn't help but jokingly, with a hint of probing, "What if what the netizens are saying is true?"

"Maybe I really do have ulterior motives towards you?"

She deliberately made her tone light, but her eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of seriousness. "By then, I'm afraid I'll be the one causing you trouble!"

Shino was taken aback by her words.

He raised his eyes and gazed deeply at her, his eyes becoming somewhat dark and unpredictable in that instant.

His movements paused instinctively; the gentle force he had been applying momentarily lost control and became slightly heavier.

As luck would have it, the pressure landed right on an acupoint.

Charlene couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her sweet voice carrying an indescribable allure and tenderness, as if it could stir one's heartstrings.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, as if even breathing had stopped at that moment.

Shino's fingers froze on the spot, unsure of how to react for a moment.

Charlene herself froze, her face blank with shock.

A moment later, a belated sense of shame surged into her heart like a tidal wave, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Her ears were so red they almost bled.

How could she... make such a sound?

This made her feel extremely ashamed, and for a moment she had no idea how to face Shi Ye in front of her.

Just at this extremely awkward moment, as if fate had deliberately saved them, Shino's phone suddenly rang.

The food delivery has arrived.

He withdrew his hand almost immediately, his tone calm but with a hint of barely perceptible panic, and said, "I'll go get the medicine. Cover yourself with the blanket and don't catch a cold."

"You should feel better after taking the medicine."

Charlene responded softly, "Okay."

Then, like a frightened little animal, she quickly shrank into the blanket, trying to use this barrier to hide her embarrassment.

Shi Ye calmly stood up.

But when he went out, it was obvious that his ears were also red.
