You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 144 Shen Yuege's Public Appearance

This news directly impacted the two most popular divas on the show "The Voice of China".

The production team even posted on their official Weibo account that the final competition would be postponed for this reason.

The comment section and reposts under the news article have exploded:

"My God! I was already shocked enough that Mingri and Lu Ran were the same person, but now there's this huge bombshell?"

"So Lu Ran is the real master of time management? He writes songs for Shen Yuege while also writing songs for Liu Siqi, and manages to flirt with both of them at the same time?"

"I feel so sorry for Yuege and Siqi. They fought tooth and nail on stage, only to be completely manipulated by the same man offstage?"

"Wait a minute, these three people look quite harmonious in the photo of them eating. Could it be a misunderstanding?"

"The person upstairs is too naive; the entertainment industry is a very complex place!"

Looking at the comments below, Lu Ran's face grew increasingly dark.

He knew the photos were real.

The coffee shop incident was because Liu Siqi hugged him in a moment of excitement to thank him for writing the song; the hot pot restaurant was a normal get-together for the three of them after the show ended; and the backstage photos are self-explanatory, he was helping the two of them record songs those two days anyway.

But with the three photos combined like this, and with such a confusing operation, Lu Ran didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them.

Moreover, this rumor is clearly more sophisticated. Although Lu Ran knows that Xingguang or Xinghua are definitely behind it, the first thing to do is to calm the netizens down and not cause too much of a problem for Shen Yuege and the other person.

As for himself? He never intended to become famous; he was simply returning to his true self.

My phone started vibrating incessantly; calls came in one after another from Li Mo, Tan Yu, Chen Ke, and even Xingyao's public relations department.

Lu Ran didn't answer any of the calls, but instead planned to dial Shen Yuege's number directly.

Just then, Shen Yuege dialed the number first.

"Did you see the news?" Shen Yuege's voice came from the other end of the phone, but Lu Ran couldn't even tell what tone Shen Yuege was using.

"Hmm." Lu Ran took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, this matter has affected you. I'll issue a statement to clarify later..."

"No need." Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, Shen Yuege interrupted him, "Siqi and I have already discussed it."

"You've already discussed it? What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Shen Yuege said, then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Shen Yuege updated her personal Weibo account.

The Weibo post didn't contain any lengthy clarification; it only contained a simple sentence accompanied by a photo.

The sentence was: "Let me introduce you, my husband is @Lu Ran."

The photo is the cover of the couple's marriage certificate. Key information has been blurred, but the date is clearly visible—it was more than half a year ago.

One minute later, Liu Siqi reposted this Weibo post and commented:

"I pursued her, but she rejected me. Now we're just good friends and business partners. Also, @沈月歌 is my best friend, so please don't try to sow discord between us. //@沈月歌: Let me introduce you, this is my husband @陆然."

The entire network was down for ten seconds.

Then, the Weibo server completely crashed.

Hashtags such as #Shen Yuege and Lu Ran are married#, #Liu Siqi clarifies#, and #The most shocking official announcement in history# have soared to the top of the trending searches at lightning speed, completely burying the previous love triangle rumors.

Lu Ran stared at Shen Yuege's Weibo post on his phone screen, his fingers trembling slightly.

He never expected that Shen Yuege would use such a direct and bold method to make their relationship public.

The phone rang again; this time it was a video call from Shen Yuege.

Lu Ran answered the call, and Shen Yuege's face appeared on the screen. She seemed to have just finished rehearsing, still wearing her practice clothes, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"So, Mr. Lu?" she asked with a smile. "Are you satisfied with this clarification?"
