[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 112

In the spacious Hai Kuo Hotel in the city center, the blend of Chinese and Western decor created a tranquil and elegant atmosphere. Mist rose beside a fountain, and the tables were adorned with exquisite and delicious dishes.

Luo Ning loved the desserts and drunken shrimp here. He didn’t like peeling the shrimp shells, so Ye Xingzhou always helped him do it. The meat is intact and delicious.

After enjoying the night view, they held hands on their way home. The hotel had excellent privacy measures. Only VIPs could make reservations in advance, so there was no need to worry about paparazzi. Even if they were photographed, it wouldn’t matter.

In a back room, someone was watching through a crack in the door. The person’s pupils dilated in shock, gradually tightening their fists.

Zeng Yu’s eyes widened. He wasn’t even qualified to be in this hotel. He only got the chance to dine here because he had fawned over a wealthy benefactor. He had merely stepped out to use the restroom and never expected to see Luo Ning and Film Emperor Ye. The two looked intimate. It was clear something was off, with an ambiguous air between them.

Zeng Yu seethed with resentment. Why? Luo Ning was able to hook up with Film Emperor Ye just because of his good looks? He was always in his way. Luo Ning didn’t deserve him!

Everyone said Film Emperor Ye was cold and unapproachable, so why did he take a liking to Luo Ning? What made Luo Ning so special? Why was he so lucky?

With Film Emperor Ye as a backing, it was certain he would have a smooth path in this industry and easily gain the best resources.

This wasn’t fair! Zeng Yu couldn’t stand it. Just the other day, Luo Ning had been criticized online, and now he was doing better than him. Hatred and jealousy churned in Zeng Yu’s heart like restless ants.

His eyes flashed. His hands moved before he could think, and he quickly took a photo with his phone. No one noticed what he did due to the door crack. It wasn’t very clear, but it was recognizable.

Zeng Yu’s heart raced. As he dealt with his benefactor’s inquiries, he felt a bit anxious. Finally, after calming his benefactor, he used the restroom as an excuse to contact a familiar media outlet and sent them the photo.

Having done all this, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. He wanted to see if this news got out. If everyone learned that Luo Ning relied on his body and used unspoken rules to rise to fame, who would still like such a person?

That media outlet liked exposing dark secrets in the entertainment industry to draw traffic. They originally didn’t want to offend Film Emperor Ye, but the potential explosive impact of this news was too tempting.

Thus, the next day, a certain Weibo post appeared on trending topics, drawing numerous netizens to watch. It had been five years since anyone dared to accuse Film Emperor Ye of anything. Once this post emerged, curiosity surged, with people initially wanting to confront and debunk it.

But upon closer inspection, fans quickly recognized it was indeed Ye Xingzhou. They had scrutinized every detail of their idol, and even a blurry image could reveal the signs.

Confirming it was real and not slander, the fans exploded. They couldn’t quite describe their feelings, but they felt a hint of unease, as if their idol was being stolen from them. The shocking turn of events hit them unexpectedly. Many expressed they couldn’t accept it, their eyes reddening with emotion. Some reacted crazily while others tried to stay rational. The comment section was quickly filled up.

“I don’t believe it! This can’t be real!”

“Waaah, I’m crying. My husband is gone.”

“I thought Ye Xingzhou would stay single forever. I can’t believe he’s dating.”

“Even if he’s dating, couldn’t he pick someone better? What is Luo Ning? He’s just some nobody. What qualifications does he have to stand beside Film Emperor Ye?”

“Yes, yes, I really don’t know what my idol is thinking. After thirty years of being single, he picks someone like this?”

“I really can’t take it anymore. I feel like my good mood has vanished in an instant. Why did I even open my phone?”

“No wonder Luo Ning’s been getting better resources lately, and there’s a trend to wash away his past reputation. It turns out he has Film Emperor Ye backing him up. It would be hard not to get popular.”

“Film Emperor Ye even specifically mentioned before that Luo Ning was his favorite actor. It turns out it was just to support his little lover. Even such a dedicated person has his self-interests. Everything was just paving the way for Luo Ning.”

“I used to admire such people, but Film Emperor Ye is no longer my idol. The image of him I had in my heart is shattered.”

“So it turns out idols are so easy to chase. I’m turning into a Lemon now.”

“Unfollowing!”

“Are you living next to a river? Why are you so nosy about other people’s private lives? Ye Xingzhou is already thirty years old. Isn’t dating completely normal? You’re acting all superior just because you did it online. Who he likes is none of your business. Who are you to point fingers? Why should he listen to you and say no? How can you be so shameless?”

“Mind your own business, that sour grape is overflowing. If you’re a true fan, you should be wishing your idol well, not cursing.”

“I have no objections as long as Luo Ning truly loves Film Emperor Ye. It’s a good thing for my idol to have a warm home.”

There were all sorts of opinions, and Luo Ning saw them too. He didn’t know who had secretly taken the photos. His Weibo was also filled with comments. Sometimes fans were the most adorable, and sometimes the most extreme.

Ye Xingzhou frowned, looking visibly displeased. His relationship was his own business. He didn’t care about others’ opinions.

But he couldn’t let his little lover suffer. He pulled Luo Ning closer, rubbing his chin against Luo Ning’s hair, and took an intimate photo to post on his Weibo. He used this opportunity to go public and leave his mark on Luo Ning.

Luo Ning also reposted it, putting together a nine-grid collage of past photos.

His mood remained unaffected. He was already mentally prepared. No matter what people online said, they couldn’t interfere with his life. He continued to snuggle in Ye Xingzhou’s arms, munching on snacks and watching TV.

And that’s exactly what happened. A week later, the hype about the matter had faded. The fans who couldn’t understand left in anger, while most fans who accepted it respected Ye Xingzhou’s choice.

“Oh my god, I’ve never seen my idol like this before. Ye Xingzhou always looks so aloof, but in these photos, you can see the spark in his eyes. He must really be in love to smile like that.”

“Film Emperor Ye looks very happy, his expression softening. At least right now, he seems to be truly happy.”

“Luo Ning wasn’t much before, but now he’s developing positively. Love is such a powerful force that brings about this kind of change.”

“Exactly. I feel like Luo Ning really loves Film Emperor Ye. Their image and aura match so well.”

“Wait, is that a hamster in the corner of the photo? They even have a hamster? So cute! The background looks so warm.”

“The film emperor and his little wife. This pairing sounds so exciting.”

“It’s a shame that the emperor and his beloved concubine didn’t end up together. I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise in reality. I’m shipping this couple.”

“Jian Xi’s fans continue to imagine that Film Emperor Ye has special feelings for Jian Xi. They sure have a fantastic imagination.”

“Luo Ning looks so obedient. There must be something special about him to win over Ye Xingzhou. I really like him, and I hope this couple lasts forever.”

“Wishing them happiness! The person I’ve liked for so long is finally not single anymore.”

“May they be sweet and loving in life, with their happiness overflowing every day.”

As details about Luo Ning’s investments, stock market assets, and the TV dramas and movies he’s funded—just the tip of the iceberg—began to surface, the opposing voices grew quieter.

“Sorry, I thought Luo Ning wasn’t worthy of Ye Xingzhou, but it turns out they are both so outstanding.”

“With his investment skills alone, even if Luo Ning didn’t enter the entertainment industry, he would still have large assets.”

“And he built it all himself at just twenty years old. He hasn’t relied on anyone. How many people in the world achieve this level?”

“Even a person not in finance major can be this formidable. What reason do I have not to learn?”

“At the very least, he must have assets worth at least one billion. Why bother acting when he could be a domineering CEO?”

“As expected, Film Emperor Ye wouldn’t fall for someone who is good for nothing. They’re well-matched in status.”

“The haters must be speechless now. If such an outstanding person isn’t worthy, what kind of heavenly being are they looking for?”

“I declare that I’m now a fan of Luo Ning. He’s officially my idol.”

“+1, I want to ride his coattails.”

…

Ye Xingzhou investigated and found that it wasn’t just media doing it for profit, there was also someone deliberately targeting him.

He received information that a person named Zeng Yu was behind it. He was the second male lead from “The Prosperous Chang’an”. Ye Xingzhou’s eyes darkened, already guessing Zeng Yu’s real intentions. He instructed his assistant to look into Zeng Yu.

Before long, the trending topic on Weibo shifted to another piece of news, filled with intimate photos of Zeng Yu and a middle-aged man. In the photos, Zeng Yu didn’t look as cheerful and generous as usual. Instead, he appeared seductive, sitting on the man’s lap, gazing alluringly, and kissing him passionately.

The stark difference in appearance and age between the two created an extremely uncomfortable and harsh image, hard to look at.

Zeng Yu had gained a wave of fans due to “The Prosperous Chang’an” and had since participated in several variety shows.

Because of that, he was a somewhat familiar face in the eyes of netizens, but when such eye-searing photos surfaced, Zeng Yu faced heavy backlash.

“Ugh, I’m going to vomit. How could he even kiss that pig face?”

“This is quite a sacrifice, isn’t it? Absolutely disgusting. Willing to do anything for a backdoor entry.”

“Turns out money is indeed alluring. Nothing scares you enough to avoid nightmares, huh?”

“Isn’t that old man the CEO of ABC Entertainment? He has been the subject of tabloid stories and has a wife and kids. Zeng Yu is so cheap to become the male mistress.”

“Who would have thought Zeng Yu had such a disgusting private side? He’s enjoying selling his ass, isn’t he? Would he eat crap for a new role?”

“These kinds of old men must have some weird fetish. Zeng Yu really has heavy taste. Why not find a handsome backer?”

“These are just tumors in the industry. May they rot away soon.”

“This kind of atmosphere is corrupted by people like them. Why not just shut themselves down?”

“You can tell he provoked someone he shouldn’t have to get exposed like this.”
