Chapter 83: Chapter 74: Fang Cui Arrives and Exposes Jiang Ruan as Chen Miao
Jiang Ruan returned to Bai Yi’s side. As she passed by Li Xin, she noticed Li Xin’s unpleasant expression and even caught her secretly glaring at her. Just when Jiang Ruan turned back, she saw it clearly.
Li Xin couldn’t be bothered to pretend and simply turned away.
Jiang Ruan withdrew her gaze, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, yet she didn’t take this little drama to heart.
The press conference continued.
Soon it was time for the fan Q&A session.
The first to be questioned was Jiang Ruan.
The female fan who got the chance to ask was particularly excited, holding the microphone and saying,
"Jiang Ruan, I really like you. I’ve been watching your dramas since you debuted. You act really well, and I love watching anything you star in!"
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips into a smile, her dark eyes shining with a gentle light. Wearing a purple strapless dress, she was elegant and fairy-like. She gracefully replied, "Thank you for your support. It’s because of fans like you that I’ve had the courage to come this far. Thank you all."
Jiang Ruan bowed at a thirty-degree angle, her demeanor sincere and humble.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Fan meetings always evoke strong emotions and inevitably some gossip.
The female fan mustered up the courage to say, "Jiang Ruan, can I ask you a few questions?"
Jiang Ruan: "Sure."
"Do you like anyone?"
As soon as this was asked, there was a burst of exclamations at the scene.
Bai Yi also laughed, looking at Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan blinked, a bit caught off guard: "Huh?"
"Do you mean an idol or..."
Female fan: "Not an idol, I want to ask what kind of man you prefer, what kind of man you’d consider marrying in the future, what type approximately? We’re all curious, could you tell us?"
Below the stage, Sister Qin was nervously watching Jiang Ruan.
If she didn’t answer well, it could easily spark rumors.
However, Jiang Ruan remained calm throughout, with a smile always tugging at her lips, exuding a particularly good temperament.
She held the microphone by her wrist, looked at everyone present, and chuckled lightly: "Let me think about it."
The female fan teased, "Do you even need to think about it? Could it be someone like Bai Yi?"
"He’s standing right next to you, so you can’t bring yourself to say it?"
At these words, the audience burst into cheers.
"Bai Yi, Bai Yi!"
"Be together, be together!"
There were all sorts of prompts urging them to be together.
Jiang Ruan got anxious, her face turning red: "Don’t say such things."
"Bai Yi is my senior, we’re good friends, right, Bai Yi?"
Seeing her look over, Bai Yi withdrew the smile from his eyes and responded calmly: "Yes."
"Please, everyone, refrain from making wild speculations. We are indeed good friends, and work and personal life should be kept separate."
He added earnestly: "However, Little Ruan is a junior I particularly admire."
The duo harmonized seamlessly.
Bai Yi and Jiang Ruan’s fans were instantly excited.
Bai Yi called Jiang Ruan Little Ruan!
So intimate.
Ahhh, seems like the CP they ship might have a chance ahhhh!!!
At this moment, the press conference had evidently turned into Jiang Ruan and Bai Yi’s show.
Li Xin stood on the other side, seething with anger yet having to maintain a smile.
"Jiang Ruan, what type of man do you really like?" the fan asked again.
This time, Jiang Ruan did not hesitate. Her eyes sparkling brightly, she replied in a soft voice: "Mature, steady, and a bit common, ha. I’m an idealist, and my future husband must be my ideal type."
"What is your ideal type?"
Jiang Ruan took a deep breath, then blurted it all out: "Good looking, fit, and financially generous!"
These words were met with immediate laughter from the audience.
Jiang Ruan’s skin was thin, and her cheeks immediately turned red, but this was indeed what she thought.
The fans were all excited.
In unison, they said: "We like that too!"
Honestly, who wouldn’t like a man like that?
Everyone has an ideal type.
A man who’s unattractive, overweight, and poor is naturally unappealing!
The female fan let out a "ya," shocked: "Isn’t that just my Bai Yi? Mature, steady, gentle, good looking, fit, and financially generous."
The female fan egged her on: "Jiang Ruan, you and Bai Yi really suit each other, would you consider it?"
"I..." Jiang Ruan chuckled awkwardly, looking up at Bai Yi, wondering how it circled back to him again.
Bai Yi looked at her with a smile, gallantly helping her out: "Everyone, stop teasing Little Ruan, can’t you see her face is all red?"
The scene burst into laughter again.
Then Jiang Ruan’s soft voice could be heard.
"We really are good friends. Bai Yi is a senior I especially admire and respect. I hope we have more opportunities to work together in the future, a lifetime of friendship."
These words indirectly denied any romantic relationship with Bai Yi.
Not a hint of hesitation.
Decisive and straightforward.
Bai Yi’s gaze paused, almost faltering in his facial expression, but he quickly returned to his usual self.
