Chinese actors Wu Jinyan (吴谨言) and Hong Yao (洪尧) became fast friends after collaborating in the 2018 palace drama Story of Yanxi Palace <延禧攻略>. At the time, China’s gossip circles speculated that the two had started dating, but Wu Jinyan was quick to dispel the rumors.

Last week, dating rumors started to circulate again after Chinese paparazzi spotted the Yanxi Palace actors mysteriously showing up at the same place—the garage floor of Jinyan’s apartment. After finishing up her filming of the day, Jinyan took off for home and went straight to her apartment from the garage floor. A while later, Hong Yao arrived, park his car in the same garage, and went up to the same floor of Jinyan’s apartment.
