Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

"Thud, thud, thud."

A succession of knocks echoed as Xiang-Nuan staggered to the door and opened it.

"Nuan-Nuan, what's wrong with you? You're not answering calls or replying to WeChat messages; you scared me to death. Xuanlin even called me specifically to check on you."

The visitor was Xiang-Nuan's childhood friend, Tao Junle. They had known each other since kindergarten, and no one understood her better.

"Why are you here?" Xiang-Nuan asked languidly.

"I knew you'd be sulking at home. Whenever you're upset, you shut yourself in. Oh, have you been drinking?"

"Yeah, just bored, had a little."

Xiang-Nuan settled back on the living room carpet, grabbed another glass for Tao Junle, and poured her a drink: "Want some?"

Tao Junle accepted the glass: "I heard from Xuanlin that you and President Shen broke up?"@@novelbin@@

"No."

"What?!"

Xiang-Nuan raised her glass and drained it in one gulp, smiling, "What we had wasn't a breakup; it was a dissolution."

"Do you care about him?"

"I don't."

"If you don't care, then what are you doing now? Nuan-Nuan, why put on a brave face with me?"

Xiang-Nuan leaned on her shoulder, sounding a bit gloomy: "Indeed, I'm a little sad."

"I know I'm not worthy. From the beginning, I never thought I deserved anything, but seeing this outcome, I'm still, just a bit sad."

"Nuan-Nuan..."

Xiang-Nuan closed her eyes: "You don't need to comfort me. I'll get over it soon enough; it's not the first time. I can let go."

"Are you still hung up on the past?"

"There's nothing to hang onto. Some things, I was never meant to have."

"Who says? You deserve everything! Nuan-Nuan, you're so wonderful, there are so many people out there who think you're worth it!"

Xiang-Nuan hugged her, nuzzling against her in distress: "I'm glad I have you."

Tao Junle patted her back: "Be good. When you become famous and wealthy, I'm counting on you to take care of me."

"Keep dreaming!"

——

The next morning, Xiang-Nuan was back to her spirited self, the weariness of the previous night gone without a trace.

She was always like this, never holding onto anything.

Zheng Xuanlin handed her the schedule: "The production team is organizing a live broadcast press conference tonight, and all the main actors must attend. It's urgent, so go over the procedure first."

Xiang-Nuan flipped through the script, astonished: "This press conference script is so thick?"

"What else? There has to be something worth watching, right? The event will revolve around you two. Remember to pay more attention to Xia Zehua, interact with him more."

"Okay."

"Nuan, check your Instagram, Xia Zehua mentioned you. You should respond," the assistant rushed over to say.

This novel is available on ".

Xiang-Nuan opened Instagram, and "White Poplar" was trending, with two hot searches, topped by Xia Zehua inviting Xiang-Nuan to plant white poplar trees together.

Because there was such a scene in the drama.

Xiang-Nuan replied to him: "If you stand me up again, I won't wait for you."

Xia Zehua responded instantly: "I definitely won't stand you up this time."

Soon, another hot search emerged: Xiang-Nuan and Xia Zehua won't stand each other up!

The production team quickly followed up with another hot search: Xiang-Nuan and Xia Zehua's appointment tonight!

The announcement of tonight's live broadcast press conference sent the fans of the coupling into a frenzy, cheering as if it were New Year's.

Last night's episode showed Xia Zehua standing up Xiang-Nuan as they planned to plant white poplar trees together. While the drama fans were agonizing over it, the two leads went online to sweeten the deal, roping in many CP fans.

Instagram was abuzz with excitement.

"Ah, last night's episode killed me, Ji Yang don't stand her up again! Man-Man thought she was abandoned again, my heart shattered."

"Xia Zehua's instant reply! Don't be too obvious about your concern!"

"They must be dating, right? I felt during the show that their acting was too good to be just acting!"

"Hoisting the banner of a blooming romance in spring!"

"Enjoy the drama CP, but don't drag the real people into it, okay?"

"They're a real couple interacting, what's it to you, meddler!"

"Please just date each other! I beg you, do it for me! [Crying]"
