MMH Chapter 14

He Jing closed the program expressionlessly.

Ye Ting was unaware that Hao Yunlong was smearing him and the Ye family online. After removing his makeup, he ran to He Jing with a smile, saying, “Jing-ge, let’s go.”

He Jing nodded and held his hand.

It was almost one in the morning, and the film and television city was still lively. There were many stalls serving late-night snacks, and many crews were still shooting.

The night breeze was cool and comfortable. Ye Ting wanted to stroll around the film and television city with He Jing, but today’s shooting was intense, and he was a bit tired. He yawned every few steps.

He Jing looked at him and asked softly, “Hungry?”

Ye Ting stared at the night snack stall selling grilled chicken legs and nodded, “I want to eat grilled chicken legs.”

He Jing asked him to wait there and went to line up at the barbecue stall.

He had rushed over right after work today. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Standing in the night, he was tall and handsome.

Ye Ting’s eyes unknowingly curved into an arc. Watching the man’s back, he felt warm and a hint of ripples in his heart.

He Jing packed the chicken legs and vegetables, and when he came back, he saw the young man looking at him with a hot gaze, with admiration and affection that couldn’t be concealed in his eyes.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he walked over to hold the young man’s hand, saying, “Let’s go.”

The two returned to the hotel together.

Suddenly, Ye Ting remembered something and turned to look at the man, “Did you book a room?”

If he hadn’t, the man could sleep in the same room… no, the same bed with him. Just thinking about it made him feel delighted.

But He Jing replied, “Yes, I booked one.”

In fact, his room from last time hadn’t been checked out and had been kept.

Ye Ting’s face was full of disappointment.

He Jing playfully pinched his nose, holding a takeaway bag in one hand and holding him in the other, they entered the hotel lobby.

Arriving on the top floor, Ye Ting didn’t want He Jing to just go back to his room like that. He was even thinking about how to make He Jing stay the night.

He clung to He Jing’s arm, acting cute, “Eating alone is boring, accompany me.”

He Jing only thought he couldn’t see through his thoughts and responded, “Okay.”

He had planned to eat with the young man and then discuss the online matters with him.

Ye Ting was overjoyed, cheerfully opened the door, took the takeaway bag from He Jing’s hand, unpacked the food, and then called He Jing, “Jing-ge, come over quickly.”

He Jing smiled, sat beside him, opened the takeaway box for him, broke the chopsticks, removed any splinters, and then handed them to him.

Ye Ting was not satisfied and insisted on having the man feed him.

He Jing indulged him, naturally going along with everything. Feed him a bite of grilled eggplant, then use a napkin to hold the chicken leg and feed him.

Ye Ting was extremely happy, closing his eyes in enjoyment while chewing.

He Jing, thinking about the online matters, darkened his gaze for a moment. However, seeing the adorable look of the youth, his mood naturally improved.

Finally, Ye Ting finished eating most of the food, rubbed his belly, lying on the sofa, exclaiming that he was full.

He Jing tidied up the dining table, came to his side, and said, “I have something to tell you.”

Seeing his serious tone, Ye Ting immediately sat up, staring at him warily, “You’re not thinking of changing your mind and not letting me continue pursuing you, right?”

He Jing was slightly stunned, then tenderly touched his face, “Why did you think of that?” Afraid that the young man would think too much, he quickly explained about the matter with Hao Yunlong, without hiding anything. In the end, he said, “You can go online and take a look.”

Ye Ting took out his phone and saw the Weibo post by Hao Yunlong.

Netizens were incited to leave comments under Hao Yunlong’s Weibo, unanimously boycotting the Ye family, and as a result, it became a hot topic.

Ye Ting looked at it slowly. After about ten minutes, he said, “Hao Yunlong is quite good at making up stories.”

He wasn’t greatly affected. Hao Yunlong accused him of bullying and snatching the second male lead role, but he had never done such a thing. He didn’t think it was a very serious matter at all.

He Jing held his hand and asked, “Do you have any thoughts about this?”

Ye Ting shook his head.

What thoughts could he have? Hao Yunlong was clearly defaming him, and it wouldn’t affect his real life anyway. He didn’t care.

He Jing probably understood his thoughts and asked softly, “Have you thought about how to handle this?”

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ting realized that he really had no thoughts on the matter. He rubbed the man’s shoulder and said, “I’ll follow your lead.”

He Jing had already figured out a plan when he saw the online comments. Seeing Ye Ting handing the matter over to him without hesitation, he felt gratified.

He gently touched the young man’s face and nodded.

Currently, Ye Ting doesn’t have a manager or a company. It was clear that Hao Yunlong had hired an online water army to smear Ye Ting. He felt that he should find a manager for Ye Ting to handle this matter on his behalf.

Looking at Ye Ting, he asked seriously, “Let me ask you first, do you plan to continue acting?”

If the young man wishes to stay in the entertainment industry, He Jing would naturally find someone to plan for the young man’s long-term future.

Ye Ting was slightly stunned.

He had never thought about this question.

The Ye family had his cousins, and there was no need for him to take over the company. He chose finance just because it was He Jing’s major.

As for acting… he only saw it as a hobby. If you asked him whether he wanted to stay in the entertainment industry for a lifetime, he really couldn’t give a definite answer.

Seeing his bewildered look, He Jing also sensed that this question was too difficult for him.

The young man was only eighteen, and life was long, with many unknowns.

It was better to deal with the current issue first.

He gently touched the young man’s beautiful eyebrows and said, “No hurry, you can take your time to think.”

Whether it’s the future career or relationships, there’s no need to rush.

Because he’s there.

He would give the young man enough time, even if the young man remained naive and clueless for a lifetime, he would support him.

He Jing first contacted the Ye family, and they learned about the situation immediately. The reason they didn’t take action was to consult Ye Ting’s opinion. Now that He Jing wanted to take charge, the Ye family naturally had no objections and entrusted the matter entirely to He Jing.

After that, He Jing contacted Yang Xuanyang, asking him to find Hao Yunlong first and then bring a lawyer to the film and television city.

He planned to let Yang Xuanyang accompany Ye Ting during this time, acting as Ye Ting’s manager, to prevent any further issues.

Yang Xuanyang had been with him for several years, with sufficient capabilities. Handling a company on an entire continent overseas was a breeze for him, so dealing with Ye Ting’s affairs was naturally within his capabilities, and he might even make a mountain out of a molehill¹means to exaggerate or make something seem much more significant or serious than it really is. It implies taking a small or trivial issue and blowing it out of proportion, turning it into a larger and more complicated problem than it deserves to be..

But he was not at ease with Ye Ting, so he naturally wanted to have someone he trusted by Ye Ting’s side.

Ye Ting had been sitting obediently beside the man, watching him busy and making arrangements for him, feeling sweet in his heart.

After finishing the call, He Jing glanced over and saw the young man hugging his arm, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

The young man’s thoughts were written all over his face, and how could he not see the affection in the young man’s eyes?

He Jing’s lips curled slightly, and he pinched the young man’s face, “What are you looking at? Hmm?”

Ye Ting didn’t answer, just kept smiling for a while, then suddenly climbed onto his lap, legs spread to grip his waist, fair arms wrapped around his neck, “Husband, I really want you to eat me up quickly.”

He Jing: “…”

This kid is starting to tease again.

Ye Ting, being the least obedient, rubbed his knee against the root of the man’s leg, “Once you’ve eaten me, you’ll be mine.”

He Jing held the young man’s waist, preventing him from moving recklessly, and said in a hoarse voice, “We’re not doing that tonight. Behave.”

Ye Ting pouted unhappily, and those tempting lips seemed to be a bit sulky under the light.

He Jing’s eyes dimmed as he leaned in, kissed the lips, not satisfied, and took a bite, “We need to deal with the online matter first.”

Ye Ting, indifferent, said, “With you here, what is there to be afraid of? If you don’t have time to handle it, I can ask my eldest cousin.”

The current young master of the Ye family had taken over the entire family. Dealing with Hao Yunlong was just a matter of a few words, and he was also the one who pampered Ye Ting the most and would definitely personally intervene.

He Jing: “…No need, I will handle it.”

When it came to the matters involving the young man, he only wanted to take care of them himself.

He was just finding an excuse to divert the young man’s attention, not letting him dwell only on the eating or not eating issue.

As for Hao Yunlong, it indeed wasn’t a big deal; a few phone calls from He Jing could easily resolve it.

Just when Ye Ting was about to make another fuss, Yang Xuanyang called, saying that Hao Yunlong had been restrained. They had discovered the company behind the water army hired by Hao Yunlong, who was assisting him, and even details about his HIV status were thoroughly investigated.

He Jing said, “Report it to the police, transfer the evidence to the authorities, and send him to prison.”

Yang Xuanyang naturally agreed. After a brief hesitation, he added, “There’s one more thing…”

Before he found Hao Yunlong, he had posted a photo of Ye Ting on his Weibo. Now, half an hour had passed, and all the comments underneath were criticizing Ye Ting. Some people even used Ye Ting’s photo to create many ugly images, some of which were even memorial pictures.

Yang Xuanyang asked He Jing how to handle this.

He Jing’s brows furrowed tightly, saying, “Take it down quickly.”

He could ignore Hao Yunlong’s Weibo and the buzzing comments online, but if Ye Ting’s photos leaked and were maliciously edited, he couldn’t allow it.

He said, “Find those who edited these images, report to the police, and send legal letters.”

Regarding the rumors online, He Jing had no intention of removing them. Since Hao Yunlong wanted to make a big scene, let him. When the situation reversed, Hao Yunlong would only be trampled more ruthlessly, and it could help maintain Ye Ting’s popularity.

After the call ended, it was already past one in the morning. He Jing saw that the young man was dozing off in his arms and said, “Go take a shower and sleep.”

Ye Ting woke up, thinking that the man was about to leave. He didn’t want him to go since he had to leave early in the morning, so he clung to the man’s arm and pleaded softly, “Stay with me.”

He Jing simply lifted him up and carried him horizontally into the bathroom, preparing the water for him.

Ye Ting still didn’t want him to leave, so he hugged his waist from behind, his arms tightly wrapped around him, “Jing-ge, can you shower with me? Please?”

He Jing lowered his eyes, looking at the entwined hands of the young man.

The young man’s fingertips were fair and plump, the back of his hand soft and chubby, tempting one to take a bite.

He Jing shifted his gaze away, turned around, and kissed the young man’s forehead, “Be good, don’t make a fuss. I won’t leave until you’ve finished showering and fallen asleep.”

Hearing him say that, Ye Ting reluctantly let him go.

While Ye Ting was showering, He Jing also went to the next room to freshen up.

Returning to the room, he saw the young man with wet hair, standing barefoot in the living room. He walked over, lifted him up, and said helplessly, “You’re not wearing shoes again.”

Ye Ting smiled playfully, allowing the man to carry him without saying a word.

Just as he had come out of the bathroom and didn’t see He Jing, he felt anxious, didn’t bother with putting on shoes, and rushed to the door to catch up.

It wasn’t until he heard the sound of the door card and hastily returned to the living room, pretending to be obedient.

Seeing that the man not only warmed his feet but also dried his hair, showering him with the utmost tenderness, his heart finally settled.

He Jing draped the damp towel over a nearby chair, tucked the child into the blanket, adjusted the room temperature, and said, “Be good, go to sleep.”
