"Why?" he asked.
Pei Xingcheng was troubled. He didn't understand. Why couldn't they tell the truth? He knew the clip of Lu Sisi taking the bullet for him and confessing her love went viral. It was a dramatic moment, like a real-life movie scene.
But now, everyone was whispering. They were making up stories and twisting the facts. For Pei Xingcheng, it was simple: shouldn't honesty be the priority?
Wasn't it better to clear the air than let rumors spread like wildfire?
Tang Qin chuckled, a sound lacking in humor. "That's show business, Xingcheng," he explained. "Right now, everyone's buzzing about that video. If you come out and say you don't feel the same way about Lu Sisi, it'll backfire. It'll hurt your image."
"You're an actor, and your new movie is about to come out. We cannot have you in any bad light before that. We don't want any bad press. Plus," he added with a sly look, "this whole thing could actually be good for you."
