“Yeah. He’s my bestie’s boyfriend.”
“What… Boyfriend?!” Mu Xi’s hand froze in mid-air as she asked in shock, “Are you sure it’s not ‘ex-boyfriend’?”
“Nope. They’re still dating and, in fact, have been in a relationship for a long time. Those two were even out on a date yesterday.”
“B-But… he’s been dating Ji Yan for two months!”
The actress explained. “That’s why I got so furious when I saw him appearing as her boyfriend at the party.”
“What a jerk!” exclaimed the assistant in belated realization. “No wonder you’re so shocked to see him. You even had that weird angry look on your face.”
She went to reveal more. “I’ve known about his promiscuity since he’s long harbored designs on me, but it’s only that night at the party that I became completely aware of how shameless he could be.”
“There, there. Let’s simmer down. The truth about your innocence will come out eventually.”
“Mhm!”
…
After making inquiries about the location of the production set of ‘Extreme Youth’, Xiao Xue drove her car straight there.
She approached a few staff members to let her gain entry into the set, but each of them turned her away, for they thought that she was the superstar’s sasaeng.
She explained with great effort, “The female lead, Yun Shishi, is my best friend. I’m here to visit her at work.”
The staff member sized her up with a sneer. “Don’t try to fool me, miss. I’ve been in this line of work for a very long time; I’ve encountered all sorts of situations and met plenty of sasaengs, who, just like you, claimed to be relatives, friends, and even lovers of actors and actresses! Couldn’t you tell a more convincing lie?”
“I…” She was rendered speechless and furious by the person’s condescending words. “Who are you calling a sasaeng! I’m unlike those obsessive fans, okay? Why do I have to lie to you when Yun Shishi really is my best friend?”
Right at this moment, Mu Xi happened to pass by and witness this exchange. Upon hearing that the female claimed herself to be her charge’s best friend, she subconsciously turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw a fashionably dressed lady arguing with the staff, who was manning the guard booth. She walked to them right away, only to hear the staff saying dismissively, “That’s enough from you! We all know here that you’re just trying to sneak into the production team for a chance to get up close and personal with the stars. Get lost before I call the securities to chase you away!”
You!”
“Wait!” She called to them, and the two people whipped their heads in her direction.
She cast a judging look at the lady, somehow finding her familiar-looking. “Did you say that you’re Shishi’s friend?”
The lady nodded her head urgently.
Mu Xi flashed her a friendly smile, then she introduced herself, “I’m Shishi’s assistant. If you really are her friend, you should have her private number, right?”
Even though the other woman claimed to be the actress’s bestie, she had to at least verify it for the sake of safety purposes.
Xiao Xue nodded once more. “Yes, I do have her number; I’ll show it to you.”
She then pulled out her phone from her bag and searched for the actress’s number in her contact list before handing her phone over to the assistant.
Having memorized her charge’s phone number, all it took was a glance at the phone screen and the assistant turned to the staff member and told him with a smile, “Sorry, buddy; this lady here really is my charge’s friend.”
Only then did the lady raise her head in all righteousness.
The somewhat embarrassed staff member, thus, uttered an apology to her, but she ignored it, only to hear the assistant asking, “Do you have something to look for my charge about?”
[0] In South Korean culture, a sasaeng is an obsessive fan who stalks and invades the privacy of celebrities and public figures.
