Chinese male star Hong Yao from “Story of Yanxi Palace” announced in September 2024 that he was marrying Wu Jinyan, and they welcomed a daughter this February. Recently, he was spotted going out with his wife and smoking while driving, forcing Wu Jinyan, who was sitting beside him, to inhale secondhand smoke, sparking considerable controversy.
In the footage shot by paparazzi, after Wu Jinyan returned to Beijing, she went to a beauty salon with Hong Yao, and the man was seen smoking while driving on the road, causing Wu Jinyan in the same car to inhale secondhand smoke. However, after they got out of the car, the couple showed a loving side—Hong Yao was seen affectionately holding Wu Jinyan while crossing the street, and their relationship appeared quite harmonious.
In fact, Hong Yao previously caused controversy for smoking inside a car, and at that time, Wu Jinyan was pregnant, leading to strong condemnation from netizens. Many commented, “No decent man would do something like this,” and “Details reveal character.” Now, being caught engaging in similar behavior again has brought a fresh wave of criticism.
