After the Secrets of the Passerby Were Leaked, He Was Cherished by the Entire Family of Antagonists

Chapter 64

At the same time, in the next room.

Qin Yao was also watching the livestream chat.

—”Oh, I see! No wonder I felt their expressions were weird this afternoon. So it’s a love triangle: you like me, but I don’t like you, and I like someone else!”

As soon as this comment appeared, countless netizens suddenly had an epiphany.

—”Now it all makes sense!”

—”This also explains why the atmosphere between them was so strange when they were assigning rooms just now.”

—”And during the afternoon at the amusement park... Xia Yang’s expression was really telling!”

—”So, Le Yeyao figured it out in the afternoon?”

—”Damn, no wonder they call him the ‘Melon King’! He eats gossip faster than any of us!”

—”Seriously, even now Le Yeyao is ahead of us in getting fresh, hot gossip!”

Exactly!

You have to wonder, how does Le Yeyao get so lucky? He didn’t even intend to chase gossip in the first place, yet he stumbled right into it!

The spectators expressed their envy and frustration.

—”Can I please just swap souls with Le Yeyao for a moment, just to get a bite of that gossip? Just one bite!”

—”Yes, yes! After one bite, I’ll swap right back!”

As the gossip-loving netizens expressed their envy, a comment suddenly floated by:

—”Didn’t realize it before... so Yu Bai is a heartthrob, huh?”

Netizens couldn’t help but laugh.

Seriously? Do Yu Bai’s fans think we’re blind or stupid?

—”You can only say something like that to fool your own fans.”

Some netizens who didn’t know the full story asked, “Even though the relationship drama is a bit wild, isn’t it undeniable that Yu Bai has some charm?”

Yu Bai’s fans sneered: “Sounds like someone’s just jealous.”

If Yu Bai’s fans hadn’t been so eager to jump in and defend him, the netizens might have let it slide.

But now, seeing them rush to defend their idol, not only the netizens but even Papa and Mama Huo couldn’t help it.

Mama Huo logged in to her alternate account and posted a bold comment that started looping at the top of the livestream chat:

—”Setting aside family background and career development, just on looks alone, aren’t Xia Yang and Qian Yue among the best in the industry? Do Yu Bai’s fans really think he’s some kind of unattainable ‘pure white moonlight’ that’s worth these two top-tier people fighting over?”

The sarcastic but sharp comment got over a thousand likes in just a few seconds.

Netizens chimed in:

—”Exactly.”

—”Too bad, Yu Bai’s fans don’t get it.”

—”It’s not that they don’t get it; they’re pretending not to.”

—”Honestly, this whole mess wouldn’t have happened if Yu Bai had been clear from the start instead of leading people on.”

—”Now that you mention it, Yu Bai does seem a bit scummy. I can’t believe I used to like him.”

Modern netizens aren’t fools. Even those who didn’t figure it out initially were now seeing the light after reading Mama Huo’s comment.

Yeah.

Whether it’s Qian Yue or Xia Yang, if they wanted to find a partner, wouldn’t people line up for a chance? Why would they need to humble themselves and fight over someone?

Is it really necessary?

Suddenly, the chat was flooded with analysis of the trio’s relationship.

Since Yu Bai had personally admitted he liked Xia Yang, that meant he was with Xia Yang while not rejecting Qian Yue’s advances.

No matter how you look at it, Yu Bai was the bad guy here!

What more is there to defend?

Seeing the chat staying on track, Qin Yao sighed in relief.

Just then, his phone rang—it was the director calling.

Qin Yao answered, and the director’s slightly anxious voice came through: “Mr. Qin, something’s wrong! Qian Yue is heading that way too!”

Qin Yao’s brows furrowed instantly, and he quickly said, “Try to get the cameraman to delay her a bit. I’m on my way.”

After hanging up, Qin Yao got up and headed downstairs.

This was a chance Yu Bai had served up on a platter, and he couldn’t miss it.

The garden.

Le Yeyao and the cameraman, after hearing such shocking gossip, instinctively held their breath in unison.

[We can’t get caught now!]

[If we’re discovered, we won’t get any of the juicy details.]

The cameraman clearly thought the same and motioned for Le Yeyao to crouch down to avoid being seen.

Le Yeyao slowed his steps and walked to the flowerbed in front of them.

There was a long, four-meter flowerbed with dense plants nearly two meters tall. The dim lighting provided enough cover to hide them completely.

Not far from them, across the flowerbed, there was a small clearing with a stone table where Yu Bai and Xia Yang were sitting close together.

Le Yeyao carefully parted the plants in front of him, ignoring the mosquitoes buzzing around, and through the gaps, he could see the two figures clearly under the dim light.

Le Yeyao’s eyes lit up:

[This angle is perfect!]

[Whoa, Yu Bai is even holding Xia Yang’s hand!]

The cameraman glanced at Le Yeyao, then at the dense plants in front of him, unsure who he should be filming.

After all the effort to catch some juicy gossip, was he really going to miss the shot?

The cameraman was itching to move.

Just then, Le Yeyao suddenly turned to the cameraman and pointed to a gap at the base of the plants beside him.

In a whisper, he said, “You should be able to get a shot from here.”

The cameraman, excited, waved his camera at Le Yeyao and quickly moved forward, squatting down to find the perfect angle to film.

As a result, viewers of the livestream suddenly noticed the camera shaking violently, but within a few seconds, it stabilized again.

This time, however, Le Yeyao was no longer in the shot—only a few plant leaves and some dark soil.

The camera suddenly turned again, this time brightening the view, and Yu Bai and Xia Yang’s figures appeared. Though they were some distance away, the image was incredibly clear.

The viewers hadn’t even started getting excited when Xia Yang’s hesitant voice sounded: “Really? Are you sure you never responded to Qian Yue? You’re not lying to me?”

The chat exploded:

—”Ahhh, so it’s really them!”

—”Oh my god, Le Yeyao, you’re so lucky! You’re this close to the action!”

Le Yeyao, fully engrossed, shook his head upon hearing Xia Yang’s question:

[Fool, he’s lying!]

[If he hadn’t responded to Qian Yue, how would they be together? In fact, Yu Bai was the one who pursued Qian Yue!]

Unfortunately, Xia Yang couldn’t hear Le Yeyao’s thoughts.

The viewers didn’t know the full story either, but they were more clear-headed than Xia Yang and quickly started analyzing:

—”You can tell Yu Bai is lying. If he really only liked you, why would he be with you and still string along Qian Yue?”

—”Ahhh, I wasn’t even mad before, but seeing Yu Bai holding my son Xia Yang’s hand makes me feel like my precious cabbage is being snatched by a pig! Yu Bai, let go of my son!”

The chat was in an uproar when suddenly Yu Bai reached out, gently pinching Xia Yang’s cheek, and said tenderly, “When have I ever lied to you?”

Xia Yang looked up, silently meeting his gaze.

Yu Bai said he was going downstairs to see if there were any ingredients in the kitchen; he wanted to show off his cooking skills tonight.

Show off his cooking skills...

Was that Yu Bai and Xia Yang announcing their relationship?

Absurd, ridiculous.

If they were going public with their relationship, then what did that make her?

Qian Yue’s eyes suddenly reddened, and tears began to well up.

Yu Bai’s voice continued to come through, soft and a bit deliberately ingratiating, “Xia Yang, I’ve told you many times; I wouldn’t lie to you. I truly like you, but now really isn’t the time for us to make our relationship public... You know how ambitious I am; if we make it public now...”

Song Zhehan and Li Siyuan had just walked over and heard these words. Before they could react, they saw Qian Yue’s tears streaming down her face.

Li Siyuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Is there really some drama here?

Song Zhehan, on the other hand, had a meaningful expression on his face. He glanced at Qin Yao first, then at Ye Leyao, who was listening intently to the gossip.

“Don’t worry, Xia Yang. I promise you, I will definitely go public with our relationship, but not now. Can you wait for me a bit longer?”

Wait longer?

What’s the point of waiting? Why not just announce it now?

Qian Yue couldn’t hold it in anymore and walked briskly toward the stone table.

She walked with such momentum that it only took a few seconds to reach Yu Bai and Xia Yang.

When Xia Yang saw Qian Yue, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on Qian Yue’s tear-streaked face, startling him.

Yu Bai was also taken aback by Qian Yue’s sudden appearance. He was just about to speak when “slap!”—Qian Yue smacked him hard across the face.

“I don’t think there’s any need to wait. If you’re going public, do it now. And while you’re at it, let’s announce my relationship with you too!”

Ye Leyao never expected Qian Yue to suddenly show up. He stood up and turned around, only to find that not only was Qin Yao there, but Song Zhehan and Li Siyuan were also present.

“When did you all get here, President Qin?”

“So, you all heard it too?”

Qin Yao walked toward Ye Leyao, followed by Song Zhehan and Li Siyuan.

They all kept silent, as if by agreement.

“Yu Bai, how about it?”

Yu Bai was completely stunned by the slap. When he looked up, he saw Qian Yue staring at him with reddened eyes.

Xia Yang stood frozen, and at this moment, many things that he couldn’t figure out before suddenly became clear.

Indeed.

That makes sense.

If they were just ordinary friends, Qian Yue wouldn’t have hugged Yu Bai in front of everyone, wouldn’t have been so clueless as to suggest sharing a room with him, and certainly wouldn’t be standing in front of him right now, delivering a merciless slap to Yu Bai.

So it wasn’t all in his head.

Yu Bai was lying to him!

Xia Yang’s expression instantly turned icy.

“Yu Bai, I need an explanation,” Xia Yang said coldly.

Yu Bai, clutching his face, was filled with panic.

What was going on... Why was Qian Yue here?

Hadn’t he just agreed with Qian Yue before going downstairs that she would come down later?

And he had triple-checked this conversation location; it was supposed to be very secluded, definitely not somewhere to be discovered.

How did Qian Yue find her way here?

It’s over.

It’s all over now.

Yu Bai’s panic was plain to see on his face.

Seeing him like this, Xia Yang’s heart sank. He suddenly felt an intense fatigue and incredulity.

His boyfriend was actually also another girl’s boyfriend.

If people heard this, they’d die of laughter, right?

Xia Yang was trembling with anger. It took a long while for him to calm down and coldly question, “When? When did you start being with Qian Yue?”

Yu Bai opened his mouth, “I... Xia Yang, let me explain...”

“What, you can’t even admit to our relationship?”

Qian Yue had quickly regained her composure. Looking at Yu Bai in front of her, her eyes were full of disappointment.

When Yu Bai had pursued her, she had just come out of a failed relationship.

So, when dealing with Yu Bai, Qian Yue was extremely cautious, preserving all the evidence she could.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it; luckily, I saved all the evidence.”

Qian Yue gave a faint smile, “Whether it’s the phone call where you confessed or the voice messages, I even have proof of all the gifts you bought for me.”

Yu Bai’s face turned pale, “Qian Yue...”

But Qian Yue didn’t even glance at him. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to Xia Yang, and gave him a slight smile, “We can just compare notes, and everything will be clear, won’t it?”

The blow Xia Yang received was no less than Qian Yue’s. Seeing this, he nodded.

Indeed, Qian Yue was right. There was no need for Yu Bai to participate; just comparing notes with Qian Yue would make everything clear.

“Let’s go.” Xia Yang wearily rubbed his temples.

It was at this moment that Yu Bai suddenly realized, no, he couldn’t let them go.

If they really went ahead and compared notes, he’d be finished!

The Qian family definitely wouldn’t let him off—

Yu Bai quickly stepped forward, grabbing both Qian Yue’s and Xia Yang’s arms. “Qian Yue, Xia Yang, wait a minute! I can explain! Please, just listen to my explanation first, okay?”

Qian Yue shook off Yu Bai’s hand. “Go ahead, I’ll listen right here.”

After speaking, she took out her phone and started recording.

Xia Yang also pulled his hand away, pursing his lips without saying a word.

Yu Bai opened his mouth, but it took him a long time before he could speak with difficulty. “Qian Yue, Xia Yang, I...” Yu Bai was utterly panicked. Ever since Qian Yue had appeared before him, his mind had been a blank. What could he say now?

What could he possibly say to gain forgiveness from Qian Yue and Xia Yang?

Suddenly, Yu Bai seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Ye Leyao noticed this and couldn’t help but mutter:

“I have a feeling Yu Bai isn’t going to say anything good.”

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Leyao’s words fell, Yu Bai spoke in an especially earnest and serious tone: “Qian Yue, Xia Yang, I truly like both of you! I never wanted to deceive you. Both of you are incredibly important to me. Can’t the three of us just stay together like this?!”

Ye Leyao closed his eyes, his shoulders shaking with laughter:

[Hahahahahaha, what a ‘I truly like both of you’—]

[I knew nothing good would come out of Yu Bai’s mouth! That scumbag really is shameless!]

Qin Yao was also struggling to hold back his laughter.

Just as Song Zhehan was about to speak up, Xia Yang’s fist moved faster than his words.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Bai, who had been standing just moments ago, was knocked to the ground by Xia Yang.

Xia Yang’s punches came one after another, landing directly on Yu Bai’s face. “Like? You like both of us, do you? Do you have no shame, Yu Bai?! You’re nothing but scum! A beast!”

Ye Leyao could no longer hold back. He quickly turned around and reminded the cameraman beside him, “Quick, quick, quick, don’t film this fight. What if the livestream gets banned? Hurry up and film me instead!”

Netizens: “?”

Well, you’re actually a pretty good guy.
