Chapter 2382: Chapter 186:
Ye Zhan drove the car, taking Ji Anyun and Ji Zichen to the shooting range, while Ji Anyun looked for topics to chat with him.
Ye Zhan occasionally answered with a word or two.
Most of the time, it was Ji Anyun doing the talking.
“Ye Zhan, I talked to my dad about it last night. He said since Zichen acknowledged you as a teacher, he’ll always be your student.”
“Mm.”
Ye Zhan paused his gaze on her face briefly before responding.
An hour later, Ye Zhan drove to the Presidential Palace.
Just as he entered, Tang Jinchen came up to him.
“Ah Zhan, you’re trending on social media.”
As he spoke, he handed his phone over to Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan glanced at the post on his phone, and his handsome face suddenly turned ice-cold.
He grabbed Tang Jinchen’s phone and quickly scrolled through.
The screen was full of images of him and Ji Anyun.
Different headlines, row after row, all about rumors between him and Ji Anyun.
Tang Jinchen said worriedly, “You and Ji Anyun are trending now. Not only that, but some say the person in your car two days ago was Ji Anyun.”
Ye Zhan raised his eyes to look at Tang Jinchen.
The other person tapped to open a post.
The post was up for less than an hour, but its views had reached several hundred thousand, with tens of thousands of comments.
A trending post is different.
The posters are professional media people, sharp with their words, using suggestive language that leads to wild imaginations.
Ye Zhan browsed through one post at lightning speed, then opened the next.
Until he finished browsing the hottest posts, his aura was colder than the winter in the Presidential Palace courtyard.
“Ah Zhan, didn’t you notice someone was photographing you?”
There were photos that Ji Anyun posted on her social media yesterday, and also ones from this morning when Ji Anyun got into his car.
At the time, he opened the car door for them and did not leave immediately.
Instead, he stood by the car, and from the angle of the photo taken by someone, it looked ambiguous.
Ye Zhan shook his head, “Didn’t notice.”
“Do you want to call Ji Anyun and ask her how her social media photos were used and turned into posts online?”
Ye Zhan, with a cold face, did not respond, his breath weighed down.
Just then, his phone rang urgently.
Ye Zhan returned Tang Jinchen’s phone and took out his own.
The incoming call showed it was Ji Anyun.
Ye Zhan squinted slightly, pressed the answer button with his long finger, “Hello.”
Maybe his voice was too cold.
The season at the other end hesitated, speaking urgently and worriedly, “Ye Zhan, I just saw my social media photos posted online, and also this morning when Zichen and I got into the car…”
Tang Jinchen standing next to Ye Zhan, even though it wasn’t on speaker, could hear Ji Anyun’s voice.
But couldn’t clearly hear what she was saying.
His gaze shifted from the phone to Ye Zhan’s cold profile, watching his cold face while listening to Ji Anyun’s worried voice.
After listening to her, he spoke coolly, “I saw it.”
“Ye Zhan, I’m sorry, I didn’t know just posting on social media would be turned into posts online. Social media privacy has always been quite good, those who can see our interaction must be our mutual friends. Where are you now? I’ll come meet you so we can check who our mutual friends are.”
Ji Anyun’s voice was filled with remorse and self-blame.
Sounding like she was about to cry from urgency.
“I’ll come find you once I finish up here.”
Ye Zhan’s voice was cold.
Yet he was calm and steady.
Giving an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
It seemed as if with him around, even if the sky fell, Ji Anyun’s anxious heart was steadied by his words.
“Ye Zhan, get your work done first. These rumor posts won’t last for more than a few days before being overshadowed by other news. Or I can call my dad; you shouldn’t let this interfere with your work.”
“Then it’s troublesome for Elder Ji, let’s contact later.”
Ye Zhan said, ending the call.
Tang Jinchen saw him hang up and immediately asked, “Should we deal with it?”
“Ji Anyun said she would handle it. Let’s go see the President first.” Ye Zhan’s chilly demeanor decreased slightly, he replied coldly.
“Is there actually something between you and Ji Anyun?”
Last night, Tang Jinchen heard a bunch of gossip from Feng Yize.
The whole process at Ji Family and the shooting range yesterday, Feng Yize told it to him like a story.
He said Ye Zhan and Ji Anyun seemed really connected.
Also mentioned Ye Zhan and Ji Anyun were interacting on social media.
Tang Jinchen glanced at Ye Zhan with a probing look, but Ye Zhan didn’t seem like someone who was attracted to Ji Anyun.
Yet, he was indeed interacting with Ji Anyun on social media.
And now with the rumors, he even left it for Ji Anyun to handle.
Like Feng Yize, he didn’t get it either.
Ye Zhan shot him a faint glance and began walking away.
Tang Jinchen quickly caught up, unable to hold back the gossip, “I always thought you were quite special towards Momo, but now it seems you’re also special to Ji Anyun. Ah Zhan, could you be having a change of heart?”
“…”
Ye Zhan did not speak, only his gaze subtly shifted when Momo’s name was mentioned.
Tang Jinchen continued, “Last night Tongtong asked me if you were having a romantic affair with Ji Anyun.”
“Gu Zhitong is actually concerned about me?”
Ye Zhan paused slightly to ask back.
He curved his lips into a mocking smile.
The mocking smile seemed to provoke Tang Jinchen, causing his handsome face to sink, he said angrily, “Indeed, Tongtong actually cared about you; when did she become so familiar with you?”
