Chapter 44: Chapter 44 She Got Divorced, I Just Found Out

"What’s going on now?"

Upon hearing Lu Xingchen’s voice, Lu Ming immediately dragged him into the small meeting room.

Gathered here were all of Lu Xingchen’s personal assistants, and many were former moderators in Lu Xingchen’s fan communities.

As they heard Lu Ming’s voice, they gradually looked up, and many of the girls were already crying with tears.

Seeing his assistants in tears, Lu Xingchen was somewhat at a loss.

However, remembering that these people were his fans, he quickly began to explain.

"The rumors online are false. I’m not in a relationship."

"The person in the news is indeed Doctor Ji."

"Doctor Ji and I have known each other for a long time. I mentioned it during my live stream a few days ago."

"This incident occurred suddenly, and the private booth was fully booked, so that’s why we met in public. I didn’t consider much, sorry to make you worry."

Lu Xingchen’s brief explanation somewhat eased the sadness in the assistants’ hearts, and their perception of him gradually changed.

It seemed as though the person standing before them wasn’t Lu Xingchen, not the film emperor Lu.

This person was unknowingly radiating an aura like a sudden bright light in the dark night.

However, the unchanging fact was that all the assistants were still crying.

They were even crying more fiercely than before.

"Please don’t cry! I really am not in a relationship! You are my assistants, others can’t know, but I need to let you know!"

Lu Ming stood aside, watching Lu Xingchen looking utterly helpless, and didn’t care about his predicament at all.

He even wore an indescribable expression when Lu Xingchen looked at him for help.

Not until the assistants’ tears were nearly dry and Lu Xingchen personally gave them water did they begin to address the handling of the news.

"Are you sure the online stuff is really fake?"

Lu Ming asked Lu Xingchen after having the assistants project the current online scenarios and the most trending news.

Because Lu Xingchen had never set up a single-personality image before, he wasn’t worried that a relationship would cause a massive fallout for Lu Xingchen.

The most important thing now was how to handle the matter.

If Lu Xingchen was indeed in a relationship, then he should just make it public.

But the issue now was that Lu Ming knew Ji Yu and was aware she got married three years ago...

"..." Lu Xingchen looked at Lu Ming, who asked him this question, his face filled with speechless exasperation.

Thinking Lu Xingchen was silently agreeing, Lu Ming was completely panicked.

"My ancestor, my dear boss!"

"What are you doing?!"

"You’re the company boss. No one is stopping you from dating. If you are, make it public. What’s all this fuss about?!"

Lu Ming’s continuous remarks made Lu Xingchen feel even more speechless.

He clearly communicated with his eyes, "I already explained just now, did your ears not hear any of it?"

However, clearly, Lu Ming didn’t catch Lu Xingchen’s meaning.

This time, though, he genuinely felt Lu Xingchen’s wordless frustration.

"Boss, say something!"

Qiao Xin, who was still online retorting, couldn’t bear it any longer. She responded to online trolls while explaining to Lu Ming.

"Brother Ming, Brother Chen means he already explained it."

"..."

Lu Ming was taken aback by the explanation and looked at Lu Xingchen again.

"Mm."

Finally, Lu Xingchen replied, giving an appreciative glance not far away at Qiao Xin.

"You’re sure, right?"

Even though everyone around indicated it was true, Lu Ming was still a little uneasy.

"I’m certain, definitely."

"Proceed with everything."

Although it took Lu Xingchen almost half an hour to return, the actual handling required only his stance.

Since Lu Xingchen stated there’s nothing between him and Ji Yu, the matter had nothing to do with him anymore.

If everything required his personal involvement, then hiring these well-paid assistants was pointless.

Lu Xingchen always had a clear stance on utilizing his assistants. He never overexploited them but didn’t refrain from making them work hard out of kindness.

Such incidents didn’t occur often. Since it happened now, he naturally delegated it to his assistants to handle.

So in the end, after Lu Ming scolded him for a few sentences, Lu Xingchen returned to his office.

He was still somewhat worried about Ji Yu’s situation, but since it was getting late, he refrained from contacting her.

However, recalling Ji Yu’s attitude when he called her earlier, it seemed like this matter didn’t impact Ji Yu much.

Meanwhile, after arranging the work for the assistants and seeing them draft and release the announcement, Lu Ming finally felt relieved.

Leaving everything else to the assistants, Lu Ming went straight to Lu Xingchen’s office.

He’s not one to completely trust what Lu Xingchen said.

If Lu Xingchen truly regarded Ji Yu only as a friend, how could he have been so upset three years ago upon knowing she was married?

Later, his work intensity increased significantly, to the point where if Lu Ming hadn’t caught it, Lu Xingchen could have worked himself to death due to overworking.

"My ancestor, tell me the truth."

When Lu Ming inquired about this matter, Lu Xingchen wore a look of wanting no part in the conversation.

But Lu Ming, determined to understand Lu Xingchen’s relationship status, had to keep probing.

"With no one else around, give me the bottom line. What’s the situation between you and Yu?"

"No situation, same as before."

Lu Xingchen’s response was nonchalant, and Lu Ming was taken aback.

Lu Xingchen’s demeanor suggested Lu Ming’s suspicions might be correct.

"Do you like Yu?"

"Yes."

"Oh my god!!!"

Lu Ming’s heart pounded wildly, not from joy but from fear.

"If you truly like Yu, the two of you? Don’t you dare have an affair; Yu is already married!"

Remembering that Ji Yu was married gave Lu Ming a headache.

Actually, if Ji Yu weren’t married, she and Lu Xingchen would have made a good match.

Both are workaholics, both are outstanding in their respective fields.

Moreover, Ji Yu knows boundaries, is kind-hearted, and is a great beauty!

But unfortunately, the beauty got married early...

"No, we don’t have that kind of relationship."

"Good, that’s good!"

Just letting out a breath of relief and preparing to calm his heart, as Lu Xingchen was proving a bit too much for him.

"But that’s no longer important."

"She got divorced, I just found out."

"What?!"
