As soon as the door was opened, Liang Xiao rushed into the house without even changing his shoes. He carefully opened the doors of every room and looked inside, as if he wanted to confirm whether Mu Chen had hidden a man in the house.

Since signing a contract with the company, Liang Xiao has been working as his manager. Liang Xiao is in his early thirties and has a refined appearance. Whether it's the hot summer or the cold winter, he always wears a custom-made suit, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses adds a touch of elegance to his demeanor.

The initial impression that this person gives off is gentle, but only through spending time together will one know just how demanding he can be.

In his daily work, he does not allow even the slightest mistake from Mu Chen. If there is an error, Mu Chen will not be given any chance to catch his breath, and must immediately correct it.

It is precisely because of Liang Xiao's strictness that Mu Chen is able to achieve the success he has today.

"Liang Ge, stop looking. There's no one hiding here." Seeing Liang Xiao's nervous appearance, Mu Chen appeared somewhat helpless. How could they quell those unrealistic rumors? He had also hoped for a peaceful vacation, but now it seemed like their vacation was going to be ruined.

Liang Xiao looked at Mu Chen suspiciously and sat down by the sofa.

Seeing him sit down, Mu Chen also followed and sat down opposite him, with only a tea table separating the two of them.

Mu Chen picked up the glass water bottle from the coffee table and intended to pour water for Liang Xiao. With a pleasing expression, he said, "Brother Liang, you must be very thirsty coming here in such a hurry on such a hot day. Have a drink of water first."

Mo Chen encountered unreasonable things and would get angry at anyone, but he never dared to show any disrespect towards Liang Xiao.

"No, thank you." Liang Xiao declined Mu Chen's goodwill, taking out a stack of photos from his briefcase and slamming them onto the coffee table.

These photos are exactly what Mugen had just seen online.

"Explain to me what's going on with these photos. Are you and the people in the photos really involved as the rumors on the internet suggest?" Liang Xiao leaned back against the sofa, crossed his arms, and looked at Mu Chen with a complicated expression. "I found it strange before. The company specifically arranged for you to fake a relationship with a female artist, spent money to hire reporters to secretly take photos of you two. You were clearly unwilling. You don't really like men, do you?"

"Liangge, we've known each other for about three or four years, don't you understand me yet? How could I possibly like men? It's a misunderstanding," Mu Chen quickly explained to Liang Xiao. "You know that these rumors in the industry are true and false. These reporters just take advantage of angles to take random photos and make random reports. That night at the wrap-up party, I drank too much and went to the wrong room. He let me stay for the night, but we really didn't do anything improper."

With the explanation from Mu Chen, Liang Xiao's emotions finally calmed down. "I can believe what you're saying, but others may not. If this matter continues to be blown out of proportion, people will take it seriously. As a result, the advertisements you endorse and the well-produced TV dramas will be affected. There's a possibility that they might even demand compensation from you, and that's no small amount. The company has already started explaining on your behalf, but the most crucial thing is for the parties involved to come forward."

"Sure, we can hold a press conference right now. I'll go and give an explanation." In order to dispel the rumors, Mu Chen was exceptionally cooperative today.

"You?" Liang Xiao glanced at Mu Chen, shook his head, and sighed softly, "If you come forward to explain, it might only worsen the situation and make it appear as if you are trying to hide something. You should have his contact number, right? Contact him now and have him speak up. One sentence from him will be more effective than a hundred sentences from you."

"I don't have his phone number." That morning, Mu Chen's attempt to ask Lu Ze for his phone number ended in failure.

Liang Xiao frowned, anger ignited in his eyes once again. "Sure, Mu Chen, you didn't even have my phone number. It seems like the two of you don't even know each other. Are you just playing around with one-night stands?"
