Chapter 32.2

After he left, I turned on the television and waited anxiously in the room . Time slowly ticked by . I still hadn’t received Yin Li’s call telling me that everything would be all right . The entertainment channels that were planning on livestreaming Yin Xuan’s press conference still hadn’t released any news about a change in programming . The screen still showed that the press conference programming was continuing as scheduled .

I nervously paced the room . Once Yin Xuan appeared on screen, my heart leapt out of my chest . I felt like I had been struck by a bolt of lighting and stood locked in place, motionless . I could only stare at Yin Xuan’s face on the television .

Though she had makeup on, it couldn’t hide her numbness and weariness . She went through the motions, mechanically answering a few questions regarding the movie .

“Today, this press conference isn’t to promote the film . I have something to confess . ”

She paused and surveyed the room . Then, she stared at the camera . Her gaze seemed to pierce through the screen . It struck fear into my heart .

“Yan Xiao, sorry . Right now I…” A disruption suddenly occurred on scene . I saw Yin Li rush in . He used his jacket to cover Yin Xuan’s face and had someone immediately escort her out . Then he approached the camera .

“Yan Xiao, everything is fine . Don’t be afraid . ” When he said that, I could hear the quick-witted reporters frantically clicking the shutters and see the rapid-fire flash of the cameras .

I didn’t know how the situation would progress . But in that moment, looking at Yin Li’s face, I felt unusually calm .

It wasn’t long before Yin Li brought Yin Xuan home .

Yin Xuan’s eyes were red . She had cried . She looked at me, and then ran to hide in her room . Soon, I heard the sound of suppressed sobs . She had been prepared to lose it all . To her, today was the equivalent of coming back from death’s door . After Yin Li came to comfort me with a few words, his phone began to ring off the hook . It seemed that he would be busy cleaning up the mess .

What I didn’t expect was that once Yin Li left, Yin Xuan would soon after stop crying and come knock on my door .
