Chapter 473: Chapter 270
"I can understand," Shen Jingxiu didn’t say, but actually his own mother had also tried to play matchmaker for Ji Yuanzhou.
However, what his mom wanted to matchmake was the connection between Wenyan and Ji Yuanzhou.
But it was Qin Yulong whom Ji Yuanzhou’s father had his eye on, and he hadn’t brought up Wenyan at all, even though he was well aware of the existence of the Shen Family’s adopted daughter.
But if those two really could hit it off, it wouldn’t be out of the question.
His friend was indeed quite outstanding.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Jingxiu suddenly asked Ji Yuanzhou.
"Last time you came over for dinner, you also met my biological sister. What did you think?"
"No way," Ji Yuanzhou incredulously glanced at Shen Jingxiu, "why are you asking this kind of question?"
"Why not? Haven’t you asked me for my opinion about your sister before?"
"....." Ji Yuanzhou was at a loss for words.
After a few seconds of silence, he joked, "What’s wrong, any regrets? Actually, at that time my sister quite liked you, but you’re too hard to deal with, always keeping people at a cold distance. If you had shown just a bit of warmth towards my sister back then, maybe your kids would be calling me ’Uncle’ by now."
Shen Jingxiu: "....." ’Uncle’ is a bit of an exaggeration.
"Seems like you don’t have any special feelings for my sister."
Ji Yuanzhou nodded, originally planning to add a ’yes’ when suddenly, Wenyan’s smiling face surfaced in his mind.
So he simply swallowed the ’yes’ that was about to come out.
"In that case, next time your dad tries to set things up, make it clear to him," Shen Jingxiu said, "A business marriage based on feelings can be a beautiful thing, but I don’t agree with a purely business marriage. If my sister gets married, it should be because she’s found the right partner, not just a family that matches ours in social status. I don’t want my sister to get hurt in the future."
"Got it," Ji Yuanzhou chuckled, "don’t worry. But are you really not going to consider my cousin?"
"Let’s order!"

Originally, the melon dropped by Gu Xiran during the interview had indeed drawn a huge wave of traffic, and now, the pictures posted by tourists have turned around the ’spending a beautiful night together’ event involving Wenyan and Gu Xiran, so the discussions about this issue are escalating, not at all dampened by the clarifications from both parties.
Online, apart from the personal relationship and speculation of publicity discussions, there is now another trend of commentary.
"What can I say, after following TV dramas for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen the official pairing of the male and female leads being pulled apart right when the show starts airing."
"So are they giving up on the show for clarification?"
"Wuu wuu wuu, who did ’Legend of Chang’an’ offend, why does this have to happen? It’s the novel adaptation I’ve been looking forward to the most in recent years. I don’t want the script to be dragged down by the actors’ crazy antics, if ’Legend of Chang’an’ flops, Wenyan and Gu Xiran both owe me their lives!"
"Right, it’s so disjointed, in the show they’re a couple, but in reality, the guy got rejected."
"Did these two have a falling out, the kind where they’ll never interact again in the future? Otherwise, which male celebrity would reveal that he pursued a certain female celebrity and got rejected during his rise to fame?" 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Exactly, that kind of confession I’ve only seen from middle-aged and older actors, many reminisce or miss someone they liked when they were young, but that someone didn’t return their feelings."
"Reasonably suspecting Gu Xiran is planning to terminate his contract, there must have been some unpleasantness between them, that’s why now they’re burning bridges, not even caring about the show."
"Yeah, anyway the script was originally a last-ditch effort. Post-production and promotion were all rushed, to be honest, the special effects in the first episode were really sub-par."
"Just terminate it, with Gu Xiran’s status now, he can absolutely go it alone. Leave Wenyan, the publicity-seeking vampire, as soon as possible, damn woman, just explode right there!"
"Get lost, the fact that Gu Xiran confessed and got rejected, not being fancied, is his own problem, okay? A playboy, turning into a rotten cucumber, some people just love their male idols too much!"
The online speculations are getting more and more outrageous.
But these outrageous speculations are also a double-edged sword.
While Wenyan and Gu Xiran were briefly impacted, the drama gained a massive wave of popularity and traffic!
