At being called by name, Big Dipper had no choice but to walk forward with a miserable expression. He scratched his face, dithering for an eternity before finally pointing at the gra.s.s underneath Ye Wanwan's feet. "Um… Sis Feng, look, what are you stepping on?"
Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded. "I'm stepping on… gra.s.s?"
Big Dipper pointed at the nearby leaves. "Sis Feng, look at the color of these leaves, aren't they especially… especially… especially…"
Ye Wanwan finished his sentence for him: "Lush…?"
Big Dipper nodded frantically. "That's right, that's right! The gra.s.s, the leaf! They are both so lush and so green!"
Veins popped on Ye Wanwan's forehead and she served him a kick. "Speak, human!"
Big Dipper immediately howled, "Sis Feng, you've been cheated on[1]!!!"
Ye Wanwan: "…"
After three seconds of silence, Ye Wanwan looked at Big Dipper with a baffled expression, unable to understand his meaning. "What are you saying?"
At this moment, Fu Mingxi cautiously walked up and handed her a phone. "President, see for yourself!"
Ye Wanwan quickly clicked the screen and skimmed it. She was met with that gigantic newspaper headline and the photo paired with the article.
Big Dipper, Fu Mingxi, and the others held their breath as they intently watched Ye Wanwan's reaction and involuntarily took a step back.
As Ye Wanwan read the article, she recalled how she called Si Yehan during the time mentioned here…
Si Yehan clearly said the woman at the business dinner was nearly 40…
Now though, there was both a picture and the facts, which meant Si Yehan purposefully concealed this from her…
*Swis.h.!.+* Ye Wanwan lifted her hand.
"AHHH, Sis Feng, calm down!!!" Big Dipper jumped up in his fright.
Ye Wanwan peered at him from the corner of her eyes and tossed the phone toward him. "What are you screaming about? Isn't it just some gossip article?"
"Eh… Sis Feng… aren't you mad…?" Big Dipper asked weakly.
Fu Mingxi also piped in. "President, have you become muddled from your rage?"
Ye Wanwan leaned her shoulder against a nearby tree and nonchalantly patted the trunk of the tree as she said, "What's there to be angry about? It's obviously groundless, fake news meant to catch people's attraction!"
Third Elder and First Elder met each other's eyes, evidently not expecting their president to remain this calm.
"You're brilliant, President! You're absolutely right!" Third Elder immediately echoed ingratiatingly.
First Elder also looked comforted her and mused, "You're becoming more and more like a leader, President!"
Fu Mingxi incredulously asked, "But President, a photo was published! If it was just a normal business dinner, why would Vice President Qin bring his daughter along? And there's only the three of them! It's definitely a case of meeting the parents! Do you really not mind, President?"
Ye Wanwan snorted, carrying the calmness of the legitimate wife. "It's unavoidable for men to encounter this type of situation when they attend social functions. What's there to mind? In your eyes, am I someone who'd turn the world upside down without any care just over a minor matter?"
Fu Mingxi: "…"
Big Dipper: "…"
First Elder: "…"
Third Elder: "…"
Wasn't she?
Ye Wanwan waved her hand. "Alright alright, disperse, all of you. It's just a rumor. I don't like to get jealous for no reason."
After Big Dipper and the others ascertained that Ye Wanwan really didn't intend to wreak havoc, they finally relaxed.
Only Seven Star s.h.i.+fted minutely and glanced at the tree trunk that their president touched earlier.
On the side of the tree trunk was evidently the deep indent of a handprint…
Seven Star: "…"
