[Liu Chuyang went out and flirted with another girl yesterday, took her to a late-night date in the nanny van, and they got photographed, but here's the weird part—why are you the one showing up in the photos?]

Yu Qianxia decided to use her last chance to get some gossip, [Find out who the girl Liu Chuyang was meeting.]

[Got it!] The system eagerly agreed.

"Sister Yu, is breakfast really that hard to choose? I think today's steamed buns are delicious!" Ji Minghan walked over, offering his suggestion.

Yu Qianxia had been standing at the breakfast table for a while, not making any decisions.

Ji Minghan, biting into a steamed bun, glanced at her curiously.

Yu Qianxia snapped out of her thoughts, casually picked up a box of steamed bun with the logo of Hengcheng Cuisine, and smiled. "I'll have the steamed bun then."

"Add a cup of soy milk too, it'll taste perfect with it." Ji Minghan stuffed a whole steamed bun into his mouth, enjoying it to the fullest.

Yu Qianxia nodded and reached for the soy milk.

At that moment, a pair of hands grabbed the soy milk first. Yu Qianxia looked up and met Yan Zhirou's ambiguous gaze. Yan Zhirou took the cup of soy milk and spoke in a tone that felt a little off-putting. "Qianxia, can you let me have this soy milk? If you mind, though, forget it."

Yu Qianxia raised an eyebrow, her tone indifferent. "Do as you like."

Yan Zhirou lowered her head, taking a sip of the sweet soy milk, a smile curling at the corner of her lips. It seemed like she wasn't just drinking soy milk, but something far more precious.

Yu Qianxia had just finished one steamed bun when the system spoke up again. [Holy crap! Now it makes sense!]

[Host, guess who was with Liu Chuyang last night?]

Yu Qianxia's gaze shifted to the girl across from her, gracefully sipping her soy milk. Her eyes narrowed, and she confidently thought, [Yan Zhirou.]

Having lived with the Yan family for over ten years, Yu Qianxia had never thought Yan Zhirou was as meek and obedient as she appeared on the surface. In reality, she was quite calculating.

At the Yu household, Yu Qianxia had often felt the subtle comparisons and schemes from Yan Zhirou.

So when the system said, [You're right!]

Yu Qianxia wasn't the least bit surprised.

[Last night, Liu Chuyang met up with Yan Zhirou. They were in the nanny van reviewing the script, and then Liu Chuyang started giving her acting lessons.]

Yu Qianxia boldly speculated, [So Yan Zhirou must have dressed up like me and had the paparazzi intentionally take those photos to smear me and create bad publicity?]

But the system said, [Not quite, actually. Yan Zhirou just wanted to try a new style, so she changed her makeup, wore a wig, and went to meet Liu Chuyang. As for the paparazzi photos, it's just that you had bad luck—they mistook her for you and snapped some photos that are based on nothing.]

Yu Qianxia furrowed her brow, [Is that really the case?]

The system confidently responded, [Of course! I never make mistakes!]

Yu Qianxia felt a little strange about it, but for now, the most urgent thing was to clear up the rumors online. She pushed aside her doubts for the moment and shifted her focus to Liu Chuyang, who was coming downstairs.

Liu Chuyang's face was dark with anger. It was the first time he'd ever been outplayed by a woman.

So, she changed her look, wore a wig, and had this whole scheme going on.

What a setup!

Liu Chuyang glared at Yan Zhirou, who blinked innocently, but her eyes gleamed with a mischievous, almost triumphant glint.

This scandal wasn't just damaging Yu Qianxia's reputation—it was threatening the carefully crafted image of Liu Chuyang as a devoted, loving boyfriend.

But the thing was, Liu Chuyang couldn't expose Yan Zhirou's little trick, because if he did, she'd turn the tables and reveal his own flirtatious behavior. He'd be the one in the hot seat.

After the news broke last night, he'd immediately paid to suppress it, but to his frustration, it shot back up to the trending list early this morning, and now there was no way to contain it.

Liu Chuyang was beyond frustrated.

Yu Qianxia had the backing of the Yu family, which meant he couldn't afford to offend her.

This was a mess he couldn't let her take the fall for. He couldn't deal with Yan Zhirou for now, so Liu Chuyang thought it over and finally instructed his manager to find a reliable extra in Hengcheng, someone he knew well. He would pay the person to step forward and clarify the situation, saying they were just discussing the script and there was nothing more to it.

Right now, the show was still live. He couldn't say anything to Yu Qianxia, but he'd apologize to her properly after the recording was done.

As he was thinking this, a rowdy onlooker suddenly stormed in.

The person rushed up to Yu Qianxia, shouting with indignation, "Yu Qianxia! Is there anything you can do besides stealing other people's boyfriends? Homewrecker! Bitch!"

Director Qian was momentarily shocked, quickly waving to his staff to stop the person. Unfortunately, the enraged bystander ignored the staff's efforts and charged straight toward Liu Chuyang, yelling at him, "Aren't you supposed to be madly in love with your girlfriend? Why couldn't you resist temptation and end up with that homewrecker bitch Yu? What about your loyal fans? How could you betray them?"

Liu Chuyang's face turned red from being yelled at. Furious, he snapped back, "I didn't! I've already explained this—last night, I was just talking to a background actress about the script! Nothing else!"

"Discussing the script in a nanny van late at night?" A bystander scoffed, showing no mercy. "Do you think netizens are idiots?"

"That extra you got to take the fall was obviously a last-minute hire, right?" Another onlooker gritted their teeth, completely unconvinced. "I only believe what I see. The photos show you and Yu Qianxia! I must've been blind all this time to ever stan a scumbag like you!"

Liu Chuyang was speechless.

And online, things were even worse. The extra he had found to take the blame had tried explaining the situation, but no one bought it. Instead, netizens were even more convinced that he and Yu Qianxia were hiding something shady.

Yu Qianxia's name was once again tied to the disgusting label of "homewrecker," drawing waves of hate from both netizens and anti-fans.

She watched helplessly as her barely-earned 10 points of luck dropped straight to 6.
