Her Husband Part 1

Qin Fan's fingertips, gripping the edge of her phone, tightened slightly. Disregarding the many people standing in front of her, she quickly typed a few words:

"Hide quickly!!!"

Is she afraid she doesn't have enough scandalous news?

Didn't she see that her room number had been exposed online?

Qin Fan sat on the sofa, nervously looking down at her phone screen, the expression on her makeup-free face seeming somewhat absent-minded.

"Qin Fan?"

"Qin Fan, did you hear me?"

Startled by someone calling her name, Qin Fan subconsciously looked up, "What is it?"

The producer rubbed his thinning hair with a headache. Of the two people involved, one was absent-minded, staring at her phone and lost in thought, while the other was still in the mood to read the script.

The producer slapped the table, "Can you two please be more serious!"

"This is an urgent crisis. If this isn't handled well, our crew's reputation will be ruined!"

A director using the casting couch on the female lead—if this kind of moral issue became public, it would look bad for everyone.

Pei Feng glanced at him. "Why are you losing your temper at a young girl? Aren't you responsible for public relations?"

"Am I short on that bit of PR money?"

Pei Feng thought that since the culprit was Xie Yanli, he should be the one to pay for the PR!

The producer looked at Pei Feng: ...

Are you serious with this nouveau riche act?

Qin Fan quietly tried to shrink her presence and opened the reply she had received.

Human ATM: "Am I your lover?"

Qin Fan almost fainted on the spot. What was this damn man up to? Right now, he was even more unfit to be seen in public than a lover!

For a moment, Qin Fan couldn't think of anything to threaten him with.

In the end, she could only scrunch up her little face and type: "The role-playing game of being a lover is quite fun, why don't you try it?"

"It's the kind where you're about to be discovered by the legal wife, holding up your pants and ready to run. Run quickly!"

A few seconds later, the other side replied:

Human ATM: "..."

Qin Fan took a deep breath and typed with a blank face: "Hubby, dear hubby, don't force your fairy wife to get on her knees and beg you!"

Human ATM: "Okay."

Unexpectedly, Xie Yanli finally relented. Qin Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

Five minutes had passed since Xie Yanli called her.

To Qin Fan, these five minutes felt like an eternity.

Who knew if, because of the current online reports, some reporters might risk sneaking in to take pictures.

Qin Fan would never underestimate the adventurous spirit of her friends in the media.

Although Xie Yanli had agreed, Qin Fan felt that this wasn't his usual style of doing things. Would he agree so easily?

At this moment, outside Qin Fan's hotel room.

Secretary Wen came over with a key card. "President Xie, the key card for Mrs. Xie's room."

Xie Yanli put away his phone and calmly swiped the card to enter.

Qin Fan was completely unaware of this.

Two hours later, after discussion, it was decided that the crew's official Weibo account would release the audition video for the female lead.

After the Weibo post was sent out, Pei Feng reposted the video—

Director Pei Feng V: Regarding the so-called photos of a private hotel meeting circulating online, the cause was that I have a friend who is an enthusiastic fan of Miss Qin. I was helping him deliver a gift, and I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.

I'll say it again: As long as I, Pei Feng, am in the directing circle, I will never do anything that violates morals or the law. All roles are selected through fair and just auditions.

Believe it or not, that's up to you. I have a clear conscience! Also, don't slander the young lady's reputation, saying things like she'd do anything for money. She didn't even accept a gift from my friend worth over ten figures. She's a true, untainted little fairy. When the movie is released, she won't disappoint the audience, and neither will I.

Lastly, for those who maliciously slander and spread rumors, what awaits you is legal retribution.

Pei Feng's Weibo post immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

#PeiFengPostsLengthyClarificationAndPubliclySupportsQinFan#

Even in the early hours of the morning, its popularity quickly climbed to the top, followed by a "trending" tag.

It had to be said, the enthusiasm of the gossip-loving masses for drama transcends time.

Top comments—

"It's been clarified, it's been clarified! We finally got it! Director Pei yyds"

"Is Director Pei's tone when mentioning Qin Fan really doting? Omg, little fairy, so sweet, so sweet, you two should just get together!"

"They're such a good match. Falling in love because of a drama is also great."

"Can everyone please focus on Director Pei's friend who offered a ten-figure gift and was rejected by the fairy?"

"Ah! Fairy sister is awesome, rejecting a ten-figure gift just like that!"

"From now on, if anyone says Qin Fan entered the entertainment industry for money, I'll slap them hard."

"..."

What were originally comments from gossip-loving onlookers began to change as some real fans who had watched the audition video returned to comment—

"I've seen the audition video. If I originally thought Qin Fan was suitable just because of her vivacious and world-toppling face, then after seeing her as 'Ning Fenghua' in military uniform during the audition, I finally understand why Director Pei chose her."

"I suggest those who are jumping up and down saying Qin Fan isn't suitable for the female lead go watch the audition. Anyway, I got goosebumps."

"Qin Fan's acting is amazing. With just a single look, she transformed from a charming beauty into a real soldier. That's what Ning Fenghua is like; she's a true soldier to the bone!"

"This is the first time I'm looking forward to a 2D character from a book becoming a flesh-and-blood person on the movie screen. Director Pei's eye for casting is truly incredible! Every one of his films is a hit."

"I don't know what the people who said Director Pei used the casting couch to give Qin Fan the role were thinking. If we have to talk about a casting couch, I think it's more likely that Director Pei sacrificed his own good looks to convince Qin Fan to take the role."

"Haha, +1 to the comment above."

"Have you guys even considered Director Pei's friend? A ten-figure gift, how deep is this fan's love?"

"As fellow fans of Fairy Fan, we feel so inferior."

"What's the Weibo of this enthusiastic ten-figure fan? Quick, pull him into Fairy Fanfan's official loyal fan group!"

After reposting Director Pei's Weibo, Qin Fan prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

Pei Feng gave her half a day off in the morning; her scenes were moved to the afternoon.

At six in the morning, Qin Fan swiped her key card and opened the door.

Behind her, Xiao Tu was still praising Director Pei for his heroic defense of her on Weibo today!

Xiao Tu had stars in her eyes, "Director Pei was so cool today! If you weren't already married, Sister, it would actually be great to pair up with Director Pei, just like the netizens are saying."

"A female actress and a male director, it's like a perfect match in the entertainment industry. You two would be the new generation's power couple of showbiz!"

As Qin Fan pushed the door open, she deliberately teased her, "Alright then, I'll remarry..."

Before the word was even finished, Qin Fan pushed open the door and saw the handsome and indifferent man sitting on the living room sofa. He was slightly raising his gaze, his perpetually emotionless, ink-black eyes looking over at her with a faint, unreadable smile.

Qin Fan's hand trembled, and she reflexively slammed the door shut out of fright!

"Bang..."

The loud sound of the door slamming shut made Xiao Tu's shoulders flinch. "Sister, is there a ghost in there, or a sasaeng fan?"

Saying this, she prepared to take out her phone. "I'm calling the police."

"Don't!" Qin Fan immediately pressed down on Xiao Tu's hand, took a deep breath facing the door, and tried to calm her racing little heart.

Xiao Tu looked at her artist staring at the door with a solemn expression, as if she were about to bow in the next moment, and felt a bit baffled.

What on earth was inside?
