The subtle tactic landed perfectly. By neither denying nor confirming outright, she had just confirmed everything.
The reporter's sly grin widened, his job done, but he pushed once more. "Miss Hua, everyone is jealous of you right now. You have the perfect career, and you have even bagged the perfect man. What can you say about this?"
Hua Ling lowered her lashes, pretending to be bashful, though her mind was razor-sharp. "It is all thanks to Scholar Xu that I have the mental strength I have today," she replied softly. "And, of course, thanks to the fans who have always supported my work. Without them, I would not be standing here. And thanks to Blue Entertainment as well."
The crowd erupted into chatter. Reporters exchanged excited glances. Fans screamed her name louder, some already flooding the internet with clips and posts: "She didn't deny it! Hua Ling and Xu Ming are real!"
