Chapter 33 - What Kind of Feast Is This? (2/2)

It was still exposed. The bad news continued to be updated. During this period of time, she had become a famous person. Her notoriety spread far and wide. The hot topic about her had always been at the top of the trending list.

The comments below were even more ridiculous.

“I’ve said this earlier on. Ever since she debuted, she relied on men to climb up the ranks…”

“She did not know who the father of her illegitimate child was, but she was once intimate with different men…”

“The sugar daddy she was secretly dating seemed to have been found…”

“A murder suspect bails on connections…”

This was too much! The media’s hot searches and online rumors were suppressing and affecting Chi Yaoxi, enough to suffocate her. Chi Yaoxi felt like she couldn’t breathe. She was angry, indignant, and on the brink of tears. Are they trying to force me to death?!

She could no longer eat her breakfast. Chi Yaoxi knew that the world was no longer the same as before. If she continued to persist like this, sooner or later, she would be drowned by the merciless criticism online.

Chi Yaoxi called Sister Ming and told her directly that she had rejected all her work and wanted to give herself a long vacation.

Chi Yaoxi decisively turned off her phone when she saw the comments that were constantly adding fuel to the fire and the harassment calls from time to time.

Chi Yaoxi knew that this rumor would take a long time to calm down. The more she responded and explained, the more excited the onlookers became. She might as well cut off all contact with the outside world and block all phone calls. Then, she would stay at home and disappear for a period of time.

Chi Yaoxi wore a hat and a mask. She went to the supermarket to shop alone. She bought a lot of food, drinks, and utensils. She had to make ample preparations for staying at home.

Usually, when she bought things, her assistant would help her carry them or Sister Ming would be by her side. Now, Chi Yaoxi was carrying large and small bags by herself. She felt that it was quite heavy. After paying with much difficulty, she came to the entrance of the supermarket.

Chi Yaoxi was about to hail a cab and head straight home. When she walked out of the door, she was surprised to see a familiar figure. Xiao Ye was standing there waiting for her.

“Xiao Ye? Why are you here? How did you find this place? My phone is switched off!” Chi Yaoxi asked while looking at Xiao Ye in shock.

“This is called telepathy, understand?” Xiao Ye blinked at Chi Yaoxi while the corners of his mouth curled up, and he replied with a light smile. Seeing that Chi Yaoxi was still frozen in place, Xiao Ye directly reached out to take the bag. “What are you still standing there for? Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”

Chi Yaoxi easily followed Xiao Ye and walked towards the parking lot. She looked at Xiao Ye, who was a head taller than her and always appeared when she was in trouble. Chi Yaoxi took the initiative to hold Xiao Ye’s arm and said with a smile, “Are you a helper sent by God? It’s great to have you here.”

Xiao Ye turned around, curved his smiling crescent eyes, and leaned close to Chi Yaoxi’s ear, saying softly, “Is it really good? Then just live with me.”

Chi Yaoxi smiled and pinched Xiao Ye’s arm hard, jokingly saying, “You dare say this, aren’t you scared that your goddess will get jealous when she hears this?”

Xiao Ye shrugged, smiled helplessly and continued walking.

Chi Yaoxi packed all the bags, and the kitchen refrigerator was also full.

Xiao Ye sat on the sofa and shouted towards the kitchen, “Chi Yaoxi, you still owe me a meal. I won’t be leaving this afternoon. I’m waiting for a big meal.”

“Got it! But I don’t know how to cook a complicated meal. Let me take a look. I’ve bought some tomatoes. I’ll cook tomato scrambled eggs for you.” Chi Yaoxi put on an apron and stuck her head out of the kitchen and said to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What kind of feast is this? Change it.”

Chi Yaoxi was in a difficult position. She really didn’t know how to cook. She usually ate work meals, and tomato scrambled eggs were already a complicated dish for her.
