Chapter 93: Keyboard Warrior Su Xiaoran

Fang Ning was surprised to hear Lin Haoren’s honest answer. Anyone else in the industry would have hidden their relationship status by denying it.

"Can I ask who it is?" Fang Ning followed up with another question, eager for gossip.

"Of course you can," Lin Haoren nodded with a smile before saying, "But I am not going to answer. It’s not convenient to say."

Although Lin Haoren and Su Xiaoran had made their relationship official, they both understood the rules of the industry.

As such, Lin Haoren wasn’t stupid enough to do something that would harm Su Xiaoran’s career.

However, he also had to make his status clear, knowing Su Xiaoran was likely watching his livestream in her spare time.

He didn’t want Su Xiaoran to feel insecure.

As such, by telling the world he was already taken, it would discourage other women from seeing him as a potential love interest.

At the same time, it would also give Su Xiaoran confidence, allowing her to trust him when he had to interact with female colleagues for work.

Such a good girl; he couldn’t bear to ever let her feel wronged.

That said, after Lin Haoren refused to reveal his partner’s information, Fang Ning became even more interested in him.

After all, there were only a few reasons why someone was willing to reveal their relationship status but unwilling to name them.

Most likely, it was also someone involved in the industry.

An actress? A singer? An idol?

Fang Ning didn’t know, but any woman involved in the entertainment industry was generally not bad-looking.

More often than not, they were beautiful.

Even if they weren’t, they were bound to become beautiful through the power of plastic surgery or cosmetics.

Fang Ning wondered what Lin Haoren’s unknown girlfriend saw in him. This piqued her curiosity and became the focal point of her interest.

She wanted to know what made Lin Haoren special enough for his unknown girlfriend to risk her career to be with him.

Suddenly, Fang Ning’s eyes flickered with a mischievous glint.

"Brother Lin, you’re not just making the girlfriend excuse to fob me off, are you? Am I that unattractive to you?" Fang Ning teased.

"How can that be? I really do have a girlfriend," Lin Haoren explained with a wry smile.

"Moreover, she might become jealous if you keep acting like that, you know? Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of her?" Lin Haoren added jokingly.

"Ha... Forget it, then," Fang Ning quickly gave up with a calm smile.

It was naturally better to make friends than foes.

However, even though she had been joking with Lin Haoren, her self-confidence couldn’t help but take a blow due to his lack of reaction.

’Is my appeal really that lacking?’ She thought to herself.

...

Jinhai City, Hongxing Apartments

At home, in Lin Haoren’s apartment, Su Xiaoran was, of course, following A Home for Paws live broadcast on her phone from the comfort of the sofa.

Moreover, she was inside Lin Haoren’s livestream channel. As his girlfriend, it only made sense for her to support her boyfriend.

"My boyfriend is handsome." Su Xiaoran smiled with crescent eyes, feeling sheer happiness when she heard Lin Haoren’s proclamation on the live broadcast.

It would have been completely understandable if he had denied his relationship status.

However, his act of revealing his relationship status while not naming her showed his attitude toward their relationship.

He was serious about it, and he wouldn’t let her feel wronged. This warmed her heart.

[Su Xiaoran’s Favorability +1]

"Kyaa, how can my boyfriend be so charming? I love him to death!" Su Xiaoran shrieked like a fangirl.

She happily expressed her feelings in the comments with her anonymous account.

[My boyfriend is so handsome! I love you to death, Brother Lin! Let’s make lots of babies when you get home~!]

Su Xiaoran’s comment was extremely bold.

However, no one believed she was Lin Haoren’s real girlfriend. It was normal for male stars to have thousands of internet girlfriends that they never knew they had.

[Who are you calling your boyfriend? Brother Lin belongs to this Big Sis, okay? Please go and see a doctor to get your brain checked. Your delusions are a bit too serious.]

"What the hell? Who is Big Sister White? How dare she claim my boyfriend as her own and even insult me!"

Su Xiaoran gritted her teeth furiously, then began typing away at the keyboard on her phone.

She had to give this arrogant netizen a piece of her mind.

[Who are you calling delusional? I love Brother Lin, and that’s my business. You, on the other hand, seem strangely invested in the love life of a complete stranger. Should I be the one to question your sanity? If you are so bothered, maybe you should take a walk or touch some grass!]

[Holy crap! Listen to this shameless little fangirl! ’I love Brother Lin, and that is my business!’ Yeah, and calling you delusional is my business! Who gave you the right to lecture me? You’re the one hiding behind a burner account, acting like some tragic heroine! Touch grass? Stinking Bitch, you first! Go outside and find Brother Lin while you’re at it!]

[Holy moly, look at these two fangirls duking it out. They are practically spitting fire at each other. However, I must say, Big Sister White, how can you call yourself a true fan of Brother Lin if you are still using vulgar language to insult people? That’s too low-class!]

[Hey, hey, hey! I am a true fan of Brother Lin! Don’t deny my status just because I have a potty mouth! Old habits are hard to change!]

"Heh."

Su Xiaoran snickered as she read the comments, finding another angle to attack the netizen called Big Sister White.

[Hehehe, what a peasant. How can someone as noble as Brother Lin belong to someone like you, who speaks with profanity? I seriously doubt you even knew Brother Lin before today’s live broadcast!]

[You! You! You...!]

[You, you, you, what? Cat got your tongue? Can’t you speak in human language anymore?]

Surprisingly, Big Sister White didn’t respond immediately after Su Xiaoran sent out her latest comment.

However, her phone buzzed with a message from Bai Yiyi.

"Ranran, you have to help me take revenge! I’ve been bullied online!"
