Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Wild Man

As Sheng Yan’s personal secretary and agent, almost all of Sheng Yan’s whereabouts were known to Zhang Ming, and since she often communicated with Zhang Ming, Aunt Rui was still very concerned about her own son.

Thinking of something, a sharp look flashed in Aunt Rui’s eyes, if Zhang Ming dared to conspire with Sheng Yan to deceive her, she would definitely not let him get away with it!

While Aunt Rui took action, on the other side, Mrs. He also called He Jinxia.

As soon as He Jinxia answered the phone, Mrs. He said, "Don’t misunderstand, maybe that man just coincidentally appeared in Sheng Yan’s room."

He Jinxia: ?

She didn’t quite understand why her mother suddenly said that.

Mrs. He continued, "According to my observations, although Sheng Yan doesn’t really interact with the opposite sex much, he is also quite indifferent towards the same sex."

He Jinxia: ??

Well, she also felt that way, but what did all this mean?

Mrs. He concluded firmly, "So, Sheng Yan should not be gay!"

He Jinxia: "..."

A resigned smile appeared on her face, so this was what Mrs. He was thinking. No wonder she felt something was off. Remembering Aunt Rui’s expression just now, it seemed she had also misunderstood.

She said with a bitter smile, "Mom, don’t misunderstand, Brother Sheng Yan couldn’t possibly be gay."

He Jinxia from ancient times found it hard to keep up with the modern way of thinking. It was just a man in the room, after all. In the past, it was common for many young men to share a bed, so isn’t it even more common in modern times?

Why was it such a big deal just because a man was seen in Sheng Yan’s room?

Trying to prevent any misconceptions, Mrs. He said to He Jinxia, "You can’t be so sure, a few years ago Hua Country already passed the same-sex marriage law, and according to surveys, the likelihood of male celebrities in the entertainment circle coming out is as high as thirty percent. I’m just afraid of you getting hurt."

He Jinxia’s eyes curved slightly, picking up on a key phrase and asked meaningfully, "Afraid of me getting hurt, but why afraid of me getting hurt?"

Mrs. He: "..." Oh no, it seemed like she had unwittingly been led into a trap by her own daughter!

If He Jinxia had asked this question in the past, she could have openly said she wanted to set her up with Sheng Yan, but now Sheng Yan might very well be...

Wouldn’t all her previous intentions have harmed her own daughter?

She absolutely couldn’t say it!

With her mind made up, Mrs. He replied, "Not at all, you heard wrong. I said I was the one hurt, yes, I’m very sad... Let’s not talk about this right now, a customer has come to shop, I have to hang up!"

Listening to the dial tone on the phone, He Jinxia allowed herself to fall back onto the soft bed, a hint of intrigue passing through her eyes as she murmured lowly, "Interesting."

On the other side, after making two calls, Mrs. Sheng finally got through to Zhang Ming.

When Zhang Ming was awoken by the ringing of his phone, his mind was still a bit foggy, "Hello?"

Mrs. Sheng asked ominously, "Who is Sheng Yan dating, some man?"

Zhang Ming jerked awake, his just straightened body almost collapsing back down in shock as he hurriedly asked, "A man? Who is he dating, which media reported it?"

Mrs. Sheng’s brows furrowed, sensing something was amiss, and asked, "If I knew, would I need to ask you, isn’t it you who’s covering for him and hiding it with him from me?"

Zhang Ming was lost, "Covering for him? No, I’ve never done such a thing!"

He looked up at Sheng Yan standing opposite him, making faces and gesturing towards his phone as if he had just faced the end of the world.

Sheng Yan looked down at his own phone and saw that the group video call had ended. Seeing Zhang Ming in such a state, he strode over, took his phone, and turned on the speaker.

The next second, Mrs. Sheng’s angry voice echoed throughout the room:

"Don’t try to lie, don’t think I don’t know anything. Tell me, who is that wild man hiding in Sheng Yan’s room?!"

Sheng Yan: "..."

Zhang Ming: "..."

The two looked at each other, wild? Man?

Zhang Ming looked around and realized he was in Sheng Yan’s room. After scanning the room, he saw that, besides Sheng Yan, he seemed to be the only man there.

So, he... was the "wild man" Mrs. Sheng was referring to, and even the man dating Sheng Yan?

Zhang Ming blinked blankly, feeling as though the world had crumbled.

"Speak up, why are you silent now? Feeling guilty, huh? Answer me quickly, which bastard turned Sheng Yan gay!" Mrs. Sheng roared from the phone.

Zhang Ming snapped back to reality, glanced at Sheng Yan’s gloomy expression, which seemed as if it could drip water, and said a silent prayer before hastily explaining, "Auntie, you’ve misunderstood, that ’wild man’ is me."

Mrs. Sheng was shocked: "What, you’re gay?!"

Zhang Ming: "No, no, no, of course not!!"

Ten minutes later, Zhang Ming explained the whole situation to Mrs. Sheng over the phone.

Mrs. Sheng’s expression softened, realizing she had made a blunder, and said, "I apologize for the misunderstanding. It was right of Yanyan to bring you to the party. Otherwise, who knows if it might have been a strange woman who showed up in his room."

Zhang Ming nodded eagerly, "Exactly, I was just there to shield him from the drinks. Look at him, he barely drank anything, came back, took a refreshing shower, while I didn’t even get to bathe, all filthy and grimy."

Mrs. Sheng gave Zhang Ming a once-over: "You don’t look dirty, but there are quite a few lipstick marks on your clothes."

Zhang Ming helplessly said, "They actually wanted to kiss—"

Feeling the deathly chill radiating from behind, Zhang Ming paused mid-sentence and quickly corrected himself, "Er, I didn’t want that. I just happen to be popular, those female stars were too enthusiastic, you know how open foreigners are, kissing clothes is no big deal."

Mrs. Sheng thought for a moment, put aside her suspicious glare, and murmured, "That is true..."

Embarassed by the misunderstanding she caused, Mrs. Sheng didn’t dare be too assertive with her son.

So she quickly ended the video call and then initiated a voice call in the WeChat group to explain the situation to Mrs. He and Jinxia.

Mrs. He commented that it was good that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, as their strong reaction was just out of concern for Sheng Yan. Jinxia, on the other hand, didn’t say much.

The older generation has more traditional views and, while they can accept two men being together, there might be some discomfort if it were to involve someone in their family. Mrs. He had always seen Sheng Yan as a promising younger relative and naturally would be concerned.

But for the newer generation of young people, sexual orientation is a matter of freedom and equality, and liking the same or opposite sex is no strange matter.

Later on, Sheng Yan joined the voice call, his deep and mellow voice clearly transmitted through: "I like girls, you don’t need to worry about me."

Before Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. He could speak, Jinxia had already responded with a smiling voice: "Mm, I know."
