"Miss Nan, it's only been half a year since you announced your marriage. May I ask what caused this marriage to break down?"
Lu Li knew very well that all the reporters' questions were aimed directly at Nan Wan, each one more direct than the last.
They were just short of asking straight to her face: Is it because Lu Li is really GAY, and you couldn't stand a ***-less marriage, that you're getting a divorce?
Before he could speak, Nan Wan made the scene explode with just three words.
"I cheated."
As soon as she said it, the reporters sitting below seemed like a floodgate had been opened. They rushed to surround Nan Wan, eager to get a good spot.
The sound of chairs being kicked over, the "click click" of camera shutters, and the cursing from those who got stepped on... turned this lavish hotel lobby into a marketplace.
Everyone's face was brimming with excitement, vivid and colorful, a real spectacle.
After all, the news of a noble daughter admitting to infidelity, coupled with her being the ex-wife of the currently popular Lu Li, was enough to capture attention.
"Miss Nan, did you cheat because your husband couldn't satisfy you, so you couldn't bear the loneliness?"
Amidst all the noisy chatter, this was the only question Nan Wan wanted to answer.
"No, Lu Li is great. Whether he likes men or women, I have more right to speak about it than any of you. Until there's undeniable evidence, you all have to be responsible for slandering him."
The microphone was almost touching her chin, yet Nan Wan maintained her smile and slowly said, "The breakdown of this marriage is my fault. If you can catch evidence of my affair, it's your skill; if not, it's your incompetence."
"Lu Li respects you all, so please respect him. Not every actor who has played in a BL drama is gay."
"His good acting is not his fault."
Having achieved her purpose, Nan Wan lost interest in playing with these people any longer. She stood up, and with the protection of her bodyguards, walked through the crowd and left the scene.
Lu Li was the main focus today and naturally couldn't leave before it was over.
Stars in the entertainment industry have all their actions magnified; even a slight change in his mood could be labeled as acting high and mighty.
Nan Wan understood.

When Lu Li ended, it was already past five o'clock.
He found Nan Wan in a bar, the table was filled with drinks, but she hadn't touched a single one.
Amidst the unfriendly glances of those around, she seemed completely indifferent, resting her chin on her hand and playing with dice in the other.
Lu Li, wearing a baseball cap, sat in the corner and asked irritably, "Where are you going tonight? The hospital?"
