He Sipei looked at Ye Yizhou, his lips pressed together in silence, clear hesitation in his eyes.
"Do you know?"
Rather than pressing him, Ye Yizhou turned to Liu Jiangzhou and asked.
"Huh?"
Liu Jiangzhou, who was sorting through the project materials, looked up at Ye Yizhou in confusion. Recalling the conversation between Ye Yizhou and He Sipei, he shook his head without hesitation. "I don't know. I never gossip. I shut out the world and focus entirely on working on new scripts."

"Huh? Are you saying this Manager Wen and President Yan are a couple?"
Liu Jiangzhou, who had just insisted he never gossiped, immediately perked up and joined the discussion. "Oh~ No wonder President He was in such a hurry to get me back to work and move things along. So this Manager Wen asking about it carries as much weight as President Yan asking in person."
"I never said they were a couple."
Ye Yizhou frowned slightly and corrected him seriously. "Don't spread rumors."

"It's not a rumor? Have you seen them holding hands, hugging, or kissing?"
Ye Yizhou wore a smile, one eyebrow slightly raised, and nothing sounded amiss in his tone.
Liu Jiangzhou's eyes shone, as though he was particularly interested in this
