Huo Xiang looked at his talent agent. “Hey hey! What do you mean by that? You better explain yourself clearly.”
Despite knowing Tong Yu would not have anything nice to say, he kept asking him.
Tong Yu pretended not to see Huo Xiang’s face. Instead, he shrugged and said, “I couldn’t help worrying. You are now a little princess and cannot be trusted.”
Huo Xiang went speechless. “...”
“Look at how you performed on the last episode of ‘Countryside Life With My Family’ without your little sister. I couldn’t bear to watch it.” Tong Yu shook his head in sheer contempt.
Huo Xiang used to be an independent man, but Tong Yu started to harbor doubts and wondered if Huo Xiang was merely possessed when he first knew him.
Otherwise, why would he have performed so badly in the last episode?
Tong Yu sighed before he forted Huo Xiang a little. “Although your cool lofty image has been destroyed, it was a blessing in disguise since you gained more fans as a result.”
However, most of them were of the mature female demographic.
The moment Huo Xiang heard what Tong Yu said, he looked annoyed.
How could he call this a blessing in disguise? How could getting called ‘Little Princess’ be considered a blessing in disguise for a straight guy?
Huo Xiang pressed his forehead. He did not want to continue listening to these insults, so he drove Tong Yu out rudely. “Leave my house this instant. You are not wele here anymore.”
Tong Yu’s lips twitched.
Huo Yao leaned against the couch as she patted Huo Xiang on the shoulder and said earnestly, “He is a guest, you shouldn’t have spoken to him so rudely.”
Huo Xiang looked at his little sister bitterly. He knew exactly what she was thinking.
Her biological older brother could not pare to a cheque!
Tong Yu coughed before he looked at Huo Yao. “Are you able to appear on the program tomorrow? The viewership fell a lot without you last week.”
The director had been calling Tong Yu twice each day asking for an update about Huo Yao’s situation. It sounded as though there was no point filming if Huo Yao was absent.
Even though Tong Yu claimed that he was here to deliver her cheque, he was mainly here to find out if she had any clashes with the filming schedule.
Huo Yao was astonished to hear what Tong Yu said. “Are you for real?”
After all, she kept such a low profile during the filming and requested the director to keep her airtime to a minimum.
“I think you underestimate the extent of your online fame. The audience finds you very mysterious since they are unable to see your face. Also, the recent sportswear advertisement that you filmed increased your popularity. You are even more popular than our Little Princess now,” said Tong Yu.
Little Princess was just minding his business when Tong Yu hurled yet another insult at him. He could not help giving him a baleful look.
Damn it!
Since Huo Yao did not surf the internet much and spent most of her time studying, she honestly did not know about her popularity until Tong Yu mentioned it.
Occasionally, Meng Ying would share some entertainment industry gossip with her, but she never took Meng Ying’s words to heart.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and replied. “I am free tomorrow and will turn up for filming.”
Tong Yu was relieved to hear this. He contemplated before he asked her. “Do you use Weibo?”
“... Nope, I don’t,” replied Huo Yao.
“Shall I set up an account for you?” asked Tong Yu. “A lot of people are leaving messages intended for you under Little Princess’s account. I think it would make sense for you to start an account.”
Huo Xiang went speechless yet again. “...”
Was Tong Yu hooked on calling him Little Princess all the time?
“Erm...” Huo Yao contemplated before she nodded and agreed. “Sure. I will register an account later.”
