Taipei - Model/actress Chiling Lin has set the record straight on the rumours of her engagement to bathroom equipment heir Scott Qiu.

Asked if he was a potential husband, she told talk-show host Shen Chun-hua: 'I've never said so. The media said it on their own.

'I haven't had such thoughts.'

Lin, who dated pop star Jerry Yen previously, was asked about a letter of apology he wrote her and never sent after their break-up.

China Times said she was speechless for a few seconds, before saying: 'I don't want to read it.'

But she said she and Yen are friends who still talk on the telephone.
