They were even spotted shopping for matching lovers’ rings in Japan. Despite the rumors, Shu Qi and Leehom never acknowledged their relationship. Recently, the pair often exchanged loving messages through their blogs. Shu Qi uploaded a photo of a Japanese Teppanki meal and wrote smittenly, “This was an extremely happy meal,” apparently she may be interested in revealing the relationship publicly. Flying Back to Taiwan The day before, Shu Qi announced that she will take a six-month hiatus from her acting career. At 4 PM, Shu Qi was spotted at the airport alone, pushing several luggage pieces. She wore a cap and several crystal wristlets which were deemed to bring luck in love.

Regarding rumors of the music video, Leehom’s manager denied that there were ever intentions of broadcasting the music video. Yesterday, Leehom was rehearsing for his upcoming concert. Asked about the intention to broadcast a music video at his concert, Leehom said reservedly, “No, that will not happen! This will be a concert and it is separate from a music video.” Asked whether he thought that Shu Qi will win the Best Actress title at the Golden Horse Awards, Leehom said, “I wish her good luck!” With rumors that Leehom intended to broadcast a music video at his concert, Leehom and Shu Qi were bombarded with questions regarding their relationship.
