Chapter 56: My Brother's Fiancé...?

Jiang Ying stared at the two people in front of him, taking them in like he had never seen them before. He thought back to the day of his magazine cover photoshoot, the day Jiang Xun had said some nonsense about protecting fans. From there, he played through the events since then, going all the way up to the previous night, when he had seen such incriminating evidence of an affair on Gu Wei's cell phone screen.

"Oh?" Jiang Ying said.

"Oh…" he added.

Then, finally: "Oh!"

"Figured it out?" Jiang Xun asked. Based on the different tones of that 'oh' trio, he could pretty much map out the journey Jiang Ying had just gone on in his mind.

"Are you alright?" Gu Wei asked. "Hell-oh?"

He reached out and waved a hand in front of Jiang Ying's eyes.

"I'm fine." Jiang Ying threw down the chicken feather dusters and firmly shook his head, pretending to have calmed down. "I'm going back. I need to work on my rankings. You guys have fun."

"It's pretty late, so you boys get some rest," Song Jingxi suggested, dragging a nearly lifeless Jiang Ying towards the door. "I won't bother you any longer. Weiwei, when you have time, let Jiang Xun bring you over to our house for a visit."

"I will." Gu Wei nodded happily. Jiang Xun's mother was so nice that he felt instantly relaxed around her. All his worries about making a bad impression were dispelled. The only thing he was still worried about was that Jiang Ying didn't seem quite… right.

Jiang Ying looked calm on the surface. But he was both a little happy and a little sad.

He was happy because his big brother wasn't a manwhore. The Jiang family's reputation was safe.

And he was sad because he and his nemesis… would soon become family.

How was he supposed to feud with Gu Wei in the future?

"Is your little brother okay?" Gu Wei felt bad, but he genuinely hadn't managed to find a good time to talk to Jiang Ying about this, and he'd never imagined that Jiang Xun would have also neglected to tell him.

"He's fine, don't worry." Jiang Xun tousled Gu Wei's hair. "My little brother has a bad temper, but he's diligent about protecting family. If you're engaged to me, then you'll be family as well. Jiang Ying understands that."

Gu Wei sort of doubted that, but he sort of believed it too. Jiang Ying had only squawked a little about the whole thing before leaving without saying much else.

But Gu Wei didn't have time to dwell on whether or not Jiang Ying really understood what this soon-to-be engagement meant for their rivalry. He was distracted when his manager, working overtime, suddenly called him.

"Where are you?" she asked.

Gu Wei looked at Jiang Xun with wide eyes and silently mouthed, "Where should I say I am?"

"Forget it, I won't ask. I already know where you are," the manager said before Jiang Xun could answer. "Go take a look at what's trending on Weibo and explain the situation to me."

"Trending?" Gu Wei blurted out. The last time his manager asked him to check what was trending, the previous installment of Wandering With You had just aired.

Jiang Xun loaded up Weibo on his tablet, and Gu Wei was indeed sitting right there on the trending topics list again—

#GuWeiVSHeChengFans

The tag had originated from a post with a video showing the front of Gu Wei's hotel, back where he was shooting Like the Moon. The footage just so happened to show him calling over the security guards, saying, "Stop them, don't let them in."
