Public Opinion

Anna was wearing loose home clothes, her tied-up hair now let down, walking into the hotel side by side with Louis.

Her fluffy hair covered her face, making it hard for Louis to see her expression.

Louis was more nervous than ever before, even more so than when he first realized he had crossed over.

He felt like his heart couldn't bear it anymore. In the narrow elevator, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Anna wasn't doing much better either. She didn't know what had come over her just now. When Louis told her to go back, she suddenly didn't want to go back so soon. Until now, the heat radiating from Louis's body next to her made her feel suffocated.

She didn't even need to touch her face to know that it must be hotter than boiling water.

She was going to die! Why didn't she leave just now? What should she do next?

The two got married because they had a child before marriage. and since marrying Louis, she hadn't had any intimate contact with him.

She stared at her toes, not daring to lift her head, not knowing what to do.

"Ding~"

Without giving them any more time to think, the elevator door opened, and they arrived on the third floor. Louis had booked a room on this floor for tonight.

Louis subconsciously stepped out of the elevator, and Anna followed reluctantly.

Swipe the card, open the door, Louis walked in, took a look around, it was a standard single room with only one bed.

Anna was completely dazed now. She didn't know how she had entered the room or how Louis had closed the door.

There were only the sounds of their breathing left in the room.

What was going to happen next seemed predictable, but Anna suddenly felt a little panicked. She wasn't ready yet. She had just begun to accept him a little, but she couldn't do more at the moment.

Louis, however, didn't understand Anna's thoughts at all. He might be inexperienced in emotional matters, but it didn't mean he lacked emotional intelligence.

Hasn't he seen enough of this situation? He had asked himself many times about Anna, from just compensating her at the beginning, to gradually feeling sorry for her, then liking her a little, and then admiring her. He knew his feelings clearly.

Louis sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned back, and took Anna's hand. 

Soft and warm, this was Louis's first impression of Anna.

Holding her tender hand in his, Louis raised his head and looked into Anna's eyes. But the next moment, the fiery heat in his heart suddenly extinguished.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with panic, unease, fear, and various other emotions.

"Phew~"

Louis took a deep breath, slowly letting go of Anna's hand.

"I'll wash my face first."

His voice was hoarse.

Anna still kept her head down, just lightly "mm" with a trembling voice.

Louis washed his face with cold water for a long time before he finally calmed down.

He came out of the bathroom and smiled when he saw Anna still standing there with her head down, looking foolishly like a quail.

This silly girl, didn't she know that she was tempting someone like this? 

It's the most shameful thing to know how to start a fire but not how to put it out!

"Let's go, I'll take you downstairs."

"Huh?"

Anna suddenly raised her head and looked at Louis.

"What huh? Hurry up!"

Louis angrily reached out and knocked on her head. Anna, feeling the pain, covered her head, her watery almond eyes staring straight at Louis, her small mouth pouting.

She looked just like Cicc, like two peas in a pod. But the way Anna looked made it even more charming.

Wow! This is really a fairy!

Louis couldn't take it anymore. Didn't she know her own charm?

"Hurry up! If you don't leave now, you won't leave tonight! And you'll be in trouble!"

Louis opened the door and began to urge her out.

Anna hurriedly walked out, and when she saw Louis close the door, she let out a sigh of relief.

Louis escorted Anna downstairs all the way, watching her drive away before he finally turned and walked back quietly.

As the car started moving, Anna suddenly rolled down the window, staring straight at Louis, her cheeks turning crimson.

"Louis, why? Don't you... want it?" 

"...," Louis sighed, rubbing his temples. 

"Sigh! What do you think?" 

"It's just that, such things require mutual consent! I'll be very willing when the wife is ready!" 

Anna's face turned red to the base of her neck, but her eyes sparkled even more.

"I'm leaving!"

"Drive safely! Call me when you get home!"

As the car drove away, Louis smiled bitterly and turned around, quickly walking back into the hotel.

It had been another late night! He needed to go back, take a shower, and get some sleep! He didn't want to drop dead!

Louis returned to his room, just finished showering, when he received a call from Anna. She had already arrived at the apartment.

They wished each other goodnight.

Little did they know, a tweet suddenly appeared about Anna, slowly climbing up the trending topics.

By the next day, this tweet had reached the tenth trending topic.

"Anna's extramarital affair? Cheating with mysterious singer cic!"

The tweet was very assertive, mainly discussing how Anna and Louis were already married, with a daughter, but their relationship had always been strained.

Anna used her beauty to stage a comeback, seducing Cic, which was why Cic wrote songs for her.

The tweet seemed convincing, with many marketing accounts reposting it, along with numerous comments.

And thus, it successfully surged into the trending topics early in the morning.

At first, some netizens were skeptical, but they couldn't resist the overwhelming comments below the tweet, as well as various marketing accounts promoting it.

From suspicion to belief, and then to condemnation of Anna.

As more and more people woke up and saw the tweet, it caused an uproar.

Countless people commented below, and Anna's Twitter and Instagram accounts were bombarded.

"Heh! No wonder she could get Cic's songs? Turns out she relied on selling herself!"

"Cic isn't a good person either! They're just a pair of birds of a feather!"

"I don't believe Cic could do such a thing! Just wait for the truth to come out!"

"I may not know Anna, but I believe Cic! Would someone who wrote those songs cheat with a married woman? Use your brains!"

"How do you explain Cic only writing songs for Anna? And have you noticed, Ci c co-founded Sound Ocean Entertainment with Sound of Huayin, while Anna joined Sound Ocean Entertainment later!"

"It must be Anna's fault! I'm sure Starlight was deceived!"

Various conspicuous comments appeared under Anna's latest Instagram post. In just an hour, at 9 a.m., this tweet and Anna's Instagram post were pushed to the first and second spots on the trending topics list!

Meanwhile, Louis had just finished his morning run and was completely unaware of this.
