Chapter 177 - Stirred

"Furthermore, Jing Xi is a very good actress. She has no reason to take advantage of my status. I want to say that Jing Xi was originally a stunt double, and her talents and abilities are real. She's not some sort of pretentious pretty face. I respect her and I would be honored to have the opportunity to work with her again!"
Ma Haodong's tone was harsh and the atmosphere had become tense.
His manager, Miss Song, quickly stepped in and reminded the reporters to ask questions regarding 'The Root of Evil' instead.
After the topic was changed, the tense atmosphere relaxed and the reporters started to ask about "The Root of Evil."
After the interview, Miss Song secretly bribed the reporters without Ma Haodong's knowledge. She requested that they delete all of their interview content about Ma Haodong's speech about Jing Xi, and that they only report content related to "The Root of Evil."
She did this mainly because of the way Ma Haodong's had commented on the matter. It could be easily misunderstood. If the report went out, it would not only fail to clear up the rumors about Ma Haodong and Jing Xi, but also cause even more misunderstandings.
She was the type of manager who prioritized profits for her celebrities and was obliged to protect them.

In Huo Yunshen's RV, Xu Xiyan took a quick shower and put on a change of clothes. Huo Yunshen had already prepared a glass of hot water with lemon for her.
Xu Xiyan picked it up and drank it all in one go. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, smiling at Huo Yunshen.
She had always felt that as long Huo Yunshen was there for her, even the worst experiences would become worth it, and all negative feelings would be swept away by his care and concern.
Huo Yunshen watched her with affectionate eyes. She was like a young lotus flower that had just risen from the water. The way she drank the drink he'd prepared was not in a typical womanly way, but she still looked very beautiful.
Her fair skin glowed with a pearl-like luster, and her face was tender like a hardboiled egg that had just been shelled, soft and fragile. There was a faint blush on her cheeks and her eyes were bright as stars, her lips rosy and seductive.
Xu Xiyan was really beautiful. So beautiful that it moved Huo Yunshen deep within his heart.
He felt the emotions he had suppressed for many years beginning to stir within him. Just looking at her made him feel restless.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment. Xu Xiyan put down her glass and said, "Mr. Huo, you haven't told me what you were doing at the studios!"
"Me?" Huo Yunshen snapped out of his fantasy. He lightly licked his lower lip and replied, "I had just finished recording a song and was passing by."
"Oh! You were recording a new song? What is it? I can't wait to hear it!"
"I'll let you be the first one to hear it when it's done," Huo Yunshen said.
"Sure! I feel so honored!"
Xu Xiyan's eyes sparkled. She wondered what his new was song like.
She had heard all of the songs he had released under the name "Ni Yun." Her favorites were "Dreamchaser,""Sleepless Stars" and "Memories in the Wind." They were all very nice.
His voice was deep, mellow and magnetic. It resonated with power and was easily distinguishable.
The two talked about music on the road. Huo Yunshen remembered Huang Guoqiang's request for a song. "Your director Mr. Huang requested that I write a traditional-style song for him."
"Really? That's great. If we use your song in this show, it would be even more perfect!"
Xu Xiyan knew Ni Yun was good at pop songs, but she had never heard him compose a traditional-style song before. She wondered how it would turn out.
Huo Yunshen was being modest. He told her his concerns honestly. "I haven't tried composing traditional music before, and I might have trouble coming up with the lyrics."
