Mainland Chinese star Liu Yifei, aged 37, along with Huawei executive Richard Yu Chengdong, 55, have refuted claims of a romantic affair, following rampant speculation ignited by their recent digital exchanges.
The chatter started when Yu, Huawei’s Executive Director and Chairman of the Consumer Business Group, shared a video on his personal Weibo account on March 8, celebrating International Women’s Day. The clip showcased a ‘yellow rose car’ inspired by the Luxeed i R7, a model under the Huawei brand.
The mention of yellow roses quickly garnered attention due to its link with Liu Yifei, who has experienced a resurgence in fame for her portrayal of ‘Huang Yimei’ in The Tale of Rose. Liu responded to Yu’s post with a ‘like,’ leading netizens to connect the dots between the two.
The actress had earlier shared pictures of yellow roses on her Weibo account, amplifying the speculation.

However, this potential partnership has yet to be officially confirmed.
Liu, often dubbed the ‘Fairy Sister’ for her elegant public persona, has kept her personal life quite private. Her only publicly acknowledged relationship was with South Korean actor Song Seung-heon.
Liu’s reputation has largely remained untarnished by scandals, making the recent rumors particularly significant.
