Yang Suxin was quick to act, and before she even reached Yang Fugao's face, she raised her hand and gave her a slap. Yang Fugao hadn't reacted yet, but already felt the burning pain on her right cheek.

  Yang Xiawu has a good temper, but that doesn't mean she'll be bullied again and again without fighting back. As soon as she came to her senses, she pushed Yang Susu in front of her hard and glared at her: "Yang Susu, are you sick?"

  Tina pulled Yang Shuoxiao behind her and looked at Yang Susu with a fiery gaze.

  Bao Yu's thoughts had turned around in circles, and he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, throwing it aside. It seemed that only now did he notice Yang Su Su rushing up to hit Yang Mo Xiao. He hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two of them, "What's going on? Whatever it is, let's talk it out calmly. What's with the violence?"

  Tina rolled her eyes as soon as she heard Bao Yuxin's words.

  In Tina's view, there are two white lotus flowers in the entertainment circle. One is Bao Yuxin and the other is Qin Shang. One is more delicate than the other, but Qin Shang is truly delicate. As for Bao Yuxin, her reputation as a jade girl is purely the result of hype.

  "It's all you, you're so despicable! You can't even climb onto Gu Qingcheng's bed yourself, but you want to send other women to his bed!"

  Yang Su's anger just now was because she inadvertently learned that a girl who looked very similar to Qin Shuang had been sent to Ahuan, and was taken to Gu Qingcheng's bed.

  Yang Xiaodong was speechless, "Yang Suxin, go back and ask Yang Kuo-liang about it first, then come find me again. Don't just dump your family's messy affairs on my head for no reason. Not to mention that I don't know anything about this matter, if you keep talking like this, I'll think you're using this as an excuse to make a big deal out of nothing and expose the scandal."

  Yang Suxin was about to retort when she suddenly heard whispers behind her, and remembered that they were in a public place. She recalled her mother's repeated warnings not to act impulsively, so she swallowed the rest of her words and instead glared at Yang Fuxiao with an intense gaze.

  Moreover, Yang Buruo now has a guard, with Tina blocking in front of her. Even if Yang Susu wanted to slap her, it's absolutely impossible.

  "If there's something on your mind, let's talk it over properly, don't make a scene here for others to laugh at."

  Bao Yu Xin was pulling Yang Su Su in front of her while also using the corner of her eye to glance at a man and woman who were slowly emerging from the shadows.

  Or rather, men basically half-embrace the woman, supporting her and letting most of her body's strength rely on his.

  Bao Yuexin sneered coldly in her heart. Indeed, Qin Shuang's position in Gu Qingcheng's heart had always been unmatched by anyone else.

  "Tina jie."

  Tina's pointed ears picked up the voice behind her and she rolled her eyes again.

  I was just thinking of this white lotus flower, and here it comes.

  Tina held Yang Guofu's arm and turned him around. With Qin Sheng's support, he slowly walked over, surprisingly, it was Gu Qingcheng.

  She pulled a corner of her mouth, now new and old loves are all here, enough to make up a table of mahjong.

  Qin Shuang was filming a horse riding scene when she fell off the horse due to the wet and slippery ground caused by rain, coupled with her nervousness during filming.

  Fortunately, however, the horse was not running fast at that time, so she only had minor bruises on her legs and no fractures, which is also a blessing in disguise.

  Qin Shang let out a sigh, and Gu Qingcheng asked beside him, "What's wrong?"

  "Just strained this leg," Qin Song pointed to the leg that had been simply bandaged by the doctor, "just walk slowly."

  Bao Yu's heart came over, anxiously asking: "I said it was too difficult to shoot horse riding scenes, but Director Yu insisted on letting you ride the horse. Look at the delay now, it's already been several days."

  Qin Shang waved his hand: "Yu Dao is considering the entire crew, I've already asked Yu Dao to take a leave of absence, and my scenes for the next few days will be postponed."

  Bao Yu Xin had already supported Qin Shang on the other side, "Come, sister will help you change into your costume."

  Qin Shuang was still wearing the horse-riding costume from the previous scene, so someone must accompany her to the women's dressing room to change clothes. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for Gu Qingcheng, a big man, to follow her in.

  Yang Fuxiao, standing behind Tina, had her eyes fixed on Gu Qingcheng's arm around Qin Shuang from start to finish. This intimate posture made her feel uncomfortable at the sight of it.

  Nature, Yang Wu Xiao was dazzling, and Tina was also dazzling.

  "Come on, I'll support you. Men are so careless and rough, they don't take good care of people at all. If they accidentally hurt or bump into someone, it's not good."

  Tina has walked to the other side, directly shaking off Gu Qingcheng and warningly glancing at him. Gu Qingcheng loosened his grip, replaced by Tina supporting Qin Song.

  Qin Shang smiled: "Don't bother, I just have a minor injury on my leg, no need to make a big fuss, Qingcheng can help me walk slowly."

  Tina didn't say anything, but she kicked Gu Qingcheng hard with her foot.

  Gu Qingcheng said: "Tina, take good care of Song'er."

  Bao Yu Xin and Tiana didn't get along with each other, now the two of them were willing to hold Qin Shang's arm on either side, but in secret they also expressed their disdain through their eyes.

  The three of them went to the women's locker room in front to change clothes, Gu Qingcheng walked slowly and didn't follow, instead, he walked to Yang Fuxiao's side, stopped his footsteps, slightly turned his head to look at Yang Fuxiao's reddened profile.

  He just turned around in the corridor and happened to see Yang Susu hitting Yang Fuxiao.

  Yang Mu Xiao stared at Gu Qing Cheng's eyes without saying a word.

  Gu Qingcheng reached out and lifted Yang Furong's chin, tilting her face slightly to one side as he carefully examined her features. "Were you hit?"

  Yang Furong's face changed slightly as she looked at Gu Qingcheng, feeling a bit annoyed. She had just been worried about Qin Song, but now she was worrying about her again.

  Gu Qingcheng noticed Yang Fuxiao's small movements, chuckled and suddenly took a step closer, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Has anyone ever told you that when bullied, one should fight back? Can you fight?"

  Yang Mu Xiao's temper also came up and he directly said: "Won't."

  Unexpectedly, before Yang Fuxiao's words had fallen, Gu Qingcheng suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yang Susu, who was standing on the side, with a loud crack.

  Yang Mu Xiao did not expect Gu Qing Cheng would suddenly make such a move, and he looked up in shock.

  Yang Susu was immediately stunned, took two steps back, covering her face, full of incredulity, Gu Qingcheng would actually hit her for Yang Tuo Xiao?

  Gu Qingcheng's slap just now was with three points of strength, Yang Susu covered her face, feeling a burning pain on her face.

  Gu Qingcheng's gaze indifferently swept towards Yang Susu, his eyes cold and devoid of warmth.

  Then turned to Yang Wuxiao and asked: "Do you understand?"

  Yang Mu Xiao raised her head and took a glance at Gu Qing Cheng's angular profile, nodding.

  Gu Qingcheng slowly and carefully re-tied the loose buttons on his shirt sleeves, slowing down his speech, his voice very gentle: "From now on, whoever hits you, you hit back like this, got it?"

  Yang Fu Xiao nodded again: "Understood."

  Yang Su's eyes were already brimming with tears as she watched Gu Qingcheng lead Yang Mo Xiao towards the ladies' dressing room in front, her hands clenched into fists.

  Yang Mu followed quietly behind Gu Qingcheng, looking up at the man's straight back and broad shoulders. Actually, he should have liked her a bit, shouldn't he?

  It should be, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action to protect her.

  Yes, it must be like this, no mistake.

  As she thought so, the sour taste that had just surged up in her heart was reduced, and it became sweeter.

  However, when the door of the women's dressing room opened, Qin Shang came out slowly with one hand on the wall, and while Gu Qingcheng held her hand, Yang Fuxiao felt that his glass heart was shattered.

  Yang Xiaoxiao touched her sore cheek that was hit by Yang Susu and gritted her teeth.

  Qin Shang had met Yang Fu Xiao at the cemetery before, but he had forgotten Yang's name. "Oh, you're not... You're that Yang..."

  Yang Fu Xiao smiled and took a step forward, answering first: "Yang Fu Xiao."

  Qin Shang nodded: "Mm, yes, I remember, we've met before. You're Yang Fu Xiao, are you the drama officer here?"

  Tina squeezed out from behind and pulled Yang Xiao to her side, "She is an employee of Ya Huan."

  Yang Mo Xiao just nodded and didn't notice Tina pinching her waist hard, she almost lost control and cried out.

  "She is an employee of Ya Wan."

  Yang Fuxiao suddenly understood Tina's meaning in a daze, but didn't know if he had misunderstood it.

  She smiled and looked at Qin Shuang: "Gu Qingcheng is my boss."

  This sentence... shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary, but why is even Bao Yuxin staring at her?

  Nothing's wrong, is it?

  As they walked out together, Yang Xiao asked Nina, and Nina looked at her: "Did you sign a contract with Gu Qingcheng?"

  "What is a body-selling contract? I have become an official employee of MSC."

  "Oh," Tina nodded: "I thought you had sold it to Gu Qingcheng."

  Suddenly, Yang Wu's right eyelid twitched and his heart skipped two beats.

  Because Qin Shuang's leg was not convenient, Gu Qingcheng supported her and walked slowly behind, until they reached the gate, Tie Na turned around and said to Yang Fu Xiao: "Qin Shuang, you don't have to worry too much, anyway she is already engaged, there is no conflict with you, just take good care of Gu Qingcheng."

  Yang Furrowed her nose slightly.

  "There's nothing between me and General Gu."

  Tina was skeptical in general.

  Yang Mianxiao felt a bit suffocated. Why did everyone assume she had slept with Gu Qingcheng? It was clear they were still as white as paper.

  ………………

  Bao Yu Xin watched as the people in front of her left, a cold smile playing on her lips. She looked down the corridor and saw Yang Su Su standing alone, looking solitary and pitiful.

  She was also innocently implicated, but she will be going abroad soon. Leaving some painful memories here would save her from having to come back again in the future.

  She walked over and patted Yang Suxin's shoulder: "What's wrong?"

  Yang Susu raised her head, with red bloodshot eyes and a clearly swollen cheek.

  Bao Yu Xin was somewhat astonished: "Yang Mo Xiao slapped you?"

  Yang Su remained silent.

  If she told others that it was not Yang Fu Xiao but Gu Qing Cheng, wouldn't she be even more humiliated? She would rather say nothing at all.

  Bao Yuexin said, pulling Yang Susu to one side, "Come with me to my dressing room, I'll get my agent to buy you some medicine." At the same time, she was hypocritically comforting her while scolding Yang Fuxiao for being ruthless and shameless, "Actually daring to seduce even her fiancé's sister."

  According to Yang Suxin, the Yang family approached Gu Qingcheng with a purpose, and Yang Suxin was even more so. However, until now, in the originally planned events, there is another person, Yang Duanxiao, who has become an obstacle, and Yang Suxin's heart is full of resentment.

  Arriving at Bao Yuxin's private dressing room, Bao Yuxin had her agent Peng Yu find some ointment and applied a layer to Yang Susu. She sighed, "Alas, such a good face, and Yang Duanxiao is really not a thing."

  Yang SuSu stared at her reddened face in the makeup mirror and gritted her teeth secretly.

  Bao Yu Xin leaned back against the dresser, "However, I think Qing Cheng treats you differently than me."

  Yang Su said: "They were actually acquainted before!"

  Bao Yu narrowed his eyes, "Acquaintance?"

  Yang Susu said: "There is a photo of Yang Fuxiao on Gu Qingcheng's desk, and I found a photo of her and Gu Qingcheng in Yang Fuxiao's room! She kept saying she wanted to guard her body for her ex-boyfriend, but now she's still messing around with Gu Qingcheng! Shameless!"

  Bao Yu comforted Yang Su Su with a couple of words and said: "Sister, I'll go get you a glass of water, you sit down first."

  She turned around and walked to the table, took a disposable paper cup, walked to the water dispenser to get water, and narrowed her eyes.

  Gu Qingcheng had known Yang Fuqiao before?

  Bao Yuexin didn't believe what Yang Suxin said, anyone's photo can be placed on Gu Qingcheng's office desk, and Yang Shuoxiao's photo might have been intentionally put there to lure this stupid Yang Suxin into the trap.

  But if it's Yang Muxiao, then the heart is not that deep. The joint photo of Gu Qingcheng and Yang Muxiao should not be fake.

  ………………

  Fang Shu, who was waiting outside the film city, saw Gu Qingcheng's figure and was slightly surprised.

  Qin Shang looks like he's badly injured in the leg, otherwise he wouldn't be walking so slowly. However, Gu Qingcheng didn't pick Qin Shang up, was it to avoid suspicion?

  But in Shanghai, Fang Shuqing clearly remembered that Yang Fuxiao once sprained her ankle, and Gu Qingcheng carried her to the hospital without saying a word.

  Gu Qingcheng and Qin Shang walked to the door, in front of which a sleek silver-white sports car had stopped. The car screeched to a halt, and then someone jumped out from the front, wearing a white racing suit.

  Qin Shuang's gaze turned to him at the same time, and he leaned in closer to Gu Qingcheng. This posture gave people standing not far away an illusion, as if Qin Shuang had almost hidden himself in his arms.

  However, Gu Qingcheng did open up a distance of one arm, "Your fiancé is here."

  "Who told him to come? I wanted him to come before, but he said he didn't have time. Now that I haven't called him, he still shows up, thinking I'm the kind of woman who will just summon him at will? Please, I'm not interested."

  An Ze approached Qin Shuang from behind, before she could react, he bent down and suddenly swept her up in his arms, taking a step back.

  Qin Shang was startled and immediately reached out to grab An Ze's neck, but when she came to her senses, she glared at An Ze fiercely while struggling in his arms, "Put me down! I won't go back with you!"

  An Ze still tightly hugged Qin Shuang, "What's there to say when we get back, huh? It wouldn't be good if outsiders saw the commotion."

  "Gu Qingcheng is not an outsider!"

  An Ze ignored Qin Shuang's shouting and looked up at Gu Qingcheng, who was not an outsider in Qin Shuang's eyes. "Gu Shao, go ahead."

  Gu Qingcheng nodded.

  "Don't think you can win me back every time with this kind of behavior, I don't need it! Our engagement is off, from now on we're completely done, do you think I, Qin Song, can't find another man? Must I hang myself on this one tree?"

  An Ze pushed Qin Sheng, who was struggling, into the car. Qin Sheng fell onto the seat and got up again to open the door, but An Ze had already reached the driver's seat and locked the door first.

  "Alright, let's talk about this later, if you continue making a scene like this, tomorrow's newspaper will probably have another misleading article."

  Qin Sheng hummed in discontent, curled up his body on the car seat, and looked at Gu Qingcheng's figure through the rearview mirror. The car turned a corner, and he closed his eyes.

  ………………

  Gu Qingcheng listened to Qin Shang's accusations against An Ze, his eyes calm and unruffled, standing still, watching the sports car drive away before withdrawing his gaze.

  Yang Mo Xiao had already sat in the passenger seat, controlling her gaze not to look outside until Qin Shuang's car drove away, then she glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Tina was talking to Gu Qing Cheng.

  Tina blocked Gu Qingcheng's way, "I have something to say to you."

  Gu Qingcheng stopped in his tracks and looked at Tina with a faint gaze, "If it's still about Song Er, then there's no need to say anything."

  "You and Qin Shang's business I don't want to interfere with, you're willing to do what you want, even if you treat her as a Bodhisattva," Tina said, "I'd like to ask, has Lu Li given you a call?"

  Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow.

  This is Tina bringing up Lu Li in front of Gu Qingcheng on her own initiative.

  Tina tapped her chin twice with her index finger, "I know Ludi has returned to China, but I don't know where he is now..."

  "Scared?"

  "Tina sneered: 'Now I'm in the light, he's in the dark. Whatever I do, he can see clearly, but whatever he does, I don't know anything about it. Do you know what kind of feeling this is?'"

  Gu Qingcheng looked at Tina.

  Tina raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Qingcheng: "My back is getting chilly, it feels like there's a pair of eyes staring at me in the darkness."

  "He hasn't contacted me, if he calls me, I'll tell you right away..."

  "Don't tell me," Tina interrupted Gu Qingcheng's words. "What I want is positioning, tell me his exact position, and see where he is."

  Gu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright."

  Gu Qingcheng walked to the side of the car and saw Yang Fuxiao sitting directly in the front passenger seat. Before the car door opened, he walked around the front of the car and passed by the windshield to get to the driver's seat. He then turned to Gu Qingcheng and said: "I'll drive the car away, you call the company to send another car to pick us up."

  Fang Shu immediately understood Gu Qingcheng's meaning: "Understood."

  Gu Qingcheng got into the driver's seat and started the car. Yang Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stiffened her back and looked out of the window.

  Yang Fu Xiao's action of turning away with a stiff face, in Gu Qing Cheng's eyes, was a bit awkward. He raised his hand to lightly touch the spot where Yang Su Su had slapped her ear, and Yang Fu Xiao shrank to the side, turned her face around, and slightly pouted her mouth.

  Gu Qingcheng nodded again at Yang Buruoxi's red and swollen face, "Does it hurt?"

  "It doesn't hurt anymore."

  Yang Mo Xiao directly pushed away Gu Qing Cheng's hand and finally curled up the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, let's go back to the company."

  Gu Qingcheng quietly looked at Yang Fuxiao for three seconds, shifted his gaze away, and stepped on the accelerator.

  Back at the company, Gu Qingcheng had Yang Fuxiao follow him into his office, where he found some pain-relieving and swelling-reducing ointment. He then asked her to sit down on the sofa.

  Yang Mu Xiao followed behind Gu Qing Cheng and said, "No need."

  Gu Qingcheng folded her arms, as if it was a matter of course that if she didn't cooperate, it would be easy to deal with, and stared at her until she cooperated.

  Yang Furong's heart was set at ease, so she sat down on the sofa, closed her eyes and said, "Do as you please."

  Gu Qingcheng applied a white, creamy ointment to Yang Fuxiao's slightly swollen right cheek, then used his index finger to gently spread it evenly, leaving a thin layer of shiny ointment on the reddened skin. After putting away the ointment, he gazed at this small face with eyelashes trembling slightly, his eyes sliding over the tip of her straight nose and landing on her cherry-red lips.

  Gu Qingcheng helped her apply the medicine, and Yang Fuxiao really felt a cooling sensation on her face, which relieved the burning sensation on her cheeks. However, from the point of skin contact, it seemed like an electric current had passed through, sliding all the way to the nerve endings.

  She felt the air brushing against her face was a bit warm, so she opened her mouth and asked: "Alright..."

  Yang Mo didn't expect that after Gu Qingcheng's fingers left, his lips would directly print on, and before he could say the word "no", they were already in each other's mouths.

  Yang Fengxiao suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled as he blinked.

  Gu Qingcheng had gently wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her forward, and lightly rubbed against her lips: "Don't move around, the medicine on your face will need to be reapplied if it gets smudged."

  Yang Mianxiao's back was completely stiff as Gu Qingcheng kissed her lips bit by bit.

  A minute later, her back also gradually softened and fell down, her hands on both sides even curled up twice, then wrapped around Gu Qingcheng's back, only separated by a thin layer of shirt, feeling the tight, scorching muscles on Gu Qingcheng's back.

  The next second, Gu Qingcheng leaned forward and pressed Yang Fuxiao onto the sofa.

  The two bodies sank completely into the soft sofa, and due to the force and angle, Gu Qingcheng's lips pressed down on Yang Fuxiao's slightly ajar lips, causing her lower lip to bleed.

  He slightly raised his chin, Yang Xiao half-closed his eyes and noticed that Gu Qingcheng's lips had a faint red color, adding a hint of evil charm to this angular face, especially captivating.

  As he kissed her again, Yang Xiao tasted a faint metallic taste between their lips, and she stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick his lips with a hint of provocation. Gu Qingcheng's subsequent kiss became even more urgent, falling down like a stormy rain.

  From lips, to chin, then neck, clavicle...

  Undoing three buttons from top to bottom with fingers, revealing skin as white as snow.

  But...

  "Gu Qingcheng!"

  Fang Shu had already told Sheng Weiwei several times outside the door, "General Gu does not allow anyone to disturb him."

  However, Sheng Weiwei had a fearless face and relied on the friendship between Gu Qingcheng and her father Sheng Haodong, so she didn't dare to take out her knife and directly pushed open the door and rushed in.

  Of course, what caught his eye was the two figures entwined on the sofa.

  "Uh..."

  Fang Shu shrugged his shoulders.

  She actually also pretended to intercept Sheng Weiwei for a moment, because she also had an urgent message to tell Gu Qingcheng on this side, and was thinking about whether to call in to disturb them. If these two people entangled in the office for one or two hours, Shen Sanbo's side would probably be offended.

  Fortunately, there was Sheng Weiwei in front of her who helped break this deadlock.

  Sheng slightly blinked her eyes, noticing that on the long sofa, Gu Qingcheng was pressing down on Yang Fuxiao's body, the two were in an extremely intimate posture, and their clothes...were disheveled.

  She thought, it's all over.

  If last time was a bullet that grazed the edge of the gun barrel, not enough to be fatal, then this time it's absolutely not coincidental, but rather a direct hit right at the muzzle.

  With a whoosh, the bullet flew out of the barrel and hit Sheng Weiwei's heart.

  "Oh! I've been hit! I'm going to die."

  Secretary Fang: "......"

  She glanced at the two people on the sofa in the office with a sidelong glance, exclaimed, slapped her forehead, as if she had suddenly thought of something, took out her phone and put it to her ear, saying in a tone of discussing the weather: "Ah, I just bought a yoga ball online, I'm going to start practicing my abs! Why? Isn't that simple? According to reliable gossip, Lawyer Shen likes women with abs and big breasts..."

  She had just turned around when she heard Gu Qingcheng's voice behind her: "Sheng Weiwei."

  Sheng's footsteps paused for a moment.

  "Wait outside."

  "Oh."

  Sheng Weiwei resignedly lowered her head.

  ………………

  The office door closed again, and the two people on the sofa were still tightly attached to each other. Yang Xiao's eyes had a hint of intoxication, and Gu Qingcheng raised his hand to re-button the buttons on her shirt that had been pulled open.

  His elbow accidentally touched her chest, Yang Xiao's face suddenly turned red, and she pushed away Gu Qingcheng's hand. "I'll do it myself."

  Yang brushed off the dawn, hastily tidying up her clothes, taking a long deep breath, she looked a bit flustered, the third button near the collar was pulled off, and it fell to the ground with a snap.

  Yang Mu Xiao: "......"

  Just now Gu Qingcheng pulled her collar button and it didn't fall off, but now it has.

  Gu Qingcheng walked over to the desk and pressed the intercom: "Go downstairs and buy a woman's blouse."

  Yang Brushed hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, there are clean suits in my closet."

  She finished speaking and turned around, wanting to hurry out the door, but Gu Qingcheng called her back.

  Yang Mu Xiao's footsteps paused, Gu Qing Cheng inserted his hand into his pants pocket and walked in front of her, raised his hand to cover the neckline, "Wait for me after work."

  Yang Bi Xiao lowered her eyelids, her swollen lips pursed into a thin line.

  Gu Qingcheng raised his hand and placed the pain-relieving and swelling-reducing ointment in Yang Fu Xiao's palm: "Apply it yourself later, you rubbed it all off just now."

  Yang Mo Xiao didn't respond, and directly opened the office door to leave. Right in front of him, he saw Sheng Wei Wei's innocent eyes, glancing back and forth between the two people standing at the office door.

  Yang Mu Xiao walked past Sheng Wei Wei's side and went to the locker in the dressing room to get her clothes.

  Gu Qingcheng looked at Fang Shu and said: "Fang Secretary, you come in first."

  Sheng Weiwei subtly scratched the bridge of her nose with her finger, gazing at the obvious bloodstain on Gu Qingcheng's lips where he had bitten them. Since he wasn't looking for her, she would go find Yang Fuxiao instead.

  Fang Shu walked into the office, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and looked at the man in front of him with deep eyes, saying: "Just now, Chairman Shen called to say that he wants you to go back to the Shen's house for dinner tonight, it's a small gathering."

  "I understand."

  "I'll go respond to the chairman then."

  "Uh-huh."

  ………………

  In fact, this time Shen's family banquet, in addition to letting Gu Qingcheng go back, Shen Jiaxun also called Yang Tuo.

  On her phone screen, Yang Fuxiao saw Shen Jiayou's name, rubbed her brow, and originally didn't want to answer it, but finally pressed the receive button.

  "Do you have time tonight? I'll pick you up for dinner."

  "I... probably don't have time."

  What is should?

  Yang Furong didn't even know how she had said those words, her mind was now very confused, almost to the point of being completely muddled.

  She didn't know why she had that uncontrollable reaction when facing Gu Qingcheng just now, but thinking about it now made her feel like her brain was on fire. The slap from Yang Susu on her face no longer hurt, what hurt was her lips, scorching hot lips.

  Shen Jia-yu paused on the other end of the line: "Just one hour, I promised Mom to bring you back, she has only heard about you but never seen you."

  "I..."

  The door was pushed open from outside, Sheng Weiwei pushed the door in, holding two cups of coffee. "Dawn, I'm here... oh, you're making another call."

  She slightly paused her speech, slightly raised her chin, indicating that Yang Xiao should continue talking on the phone and ignore her.

  On the other end of the phone, Shen Jia-yu seemed to have also heard Sheng Wei's faint voice and asked, "Is someone looking for you over there?"

  Yang Mu Xiao didn't know how to refuse, so she seized this opportunity and said: "Mm, I'll call you back a bit later."

  She hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

  Sheng slightly raised an eyebrow: "You don't need to care about mine, just tell me about your phone call."

  Yang Fu Xiao put away his phone, "Nothing important."

  I thought there were clean clothes in the closet, but after searching around, I remembered that the last time it rained, I got wet and changed into these, so all I could do was take some thread to sew on the buttons.

  Sheng Weiwei sat on a chair at one side, propping her chin with her hands and resting her elbows against the back of the chair. "Didn't you just have something happen with Gu Qingcheng?"

  Yang Buruoxiao took off his outer shirt, picked up a needle and thread to sew on buttons, saying: "None."

  Sheng Weiwei gazed at Yang Fuxiao's half-exposed beautiful back, thinking that if she could secretly take a photo of Yang Fuxiao to use as an exchange condition with Gu Qingcheng, maybe her death wouldn't be so miserable.

  Yang Fuxiao's face was flushed, and there were two obvious red finger marks on her collarbone, probably from when Gu Qingcheng accidentally pinched her while unbuttoning his shirt. Yang Fuxiao's skin was fair, so even a slight amount of force would leave visible marks.

  Yang Fuxiao sat on a chair sewing buttons and casually asked Sheng Weiwei: "How did you get to know Gu Qingcheng?"

  She gently picked up her coffee cup, took a sip and said: "Before that, Gu Qingcheng had been to Southeast Asia, then also went to Macau, did business with my dad, and then got to know each other. At that time, I was 18 years old, and there was an uncle who was 20 years old and wouldn't let people laugh at him, so it didn't work out. Then they said to let me and Gu Qingcheng get engaged, but I just couldn't stand him, so it didn't work out either."

  She pursed her lips, wiping away the coffee stain, and said: "I basically regard him as my brother, don't get me wrong. If Gu Qingcheng knew about this, I'd be breaking up his good deeds every other day, and now you've even misunderstood my relationship with him, I'll die without a burial site."

  Yang Mu Xiao: "......"

  Sheng Weiwei said: "Actually, Gu Qingcheng is quite charming."

  Now help Gu Qingcheng say some good words, and then it will be easier to curry favor with him later.

  Yang Mo raised an eyebrow, "Did you see Gu Qingcheng three years ago?"

  "I've seen it before."

  "Has he always been like this?"

  "Yes," Sheng said, "it's always been like that, nothing has changed. My dad said before that Gu Qingcheng is mature beyond his years, and because of his mom, his uncle is especially strict with him. To me, that's not just strict, it's abnormally strict."

  Yang Mo suddenly remembered that once in the office, he saw Gu Qingcheng talking to his mother on the phone, with a very gentle tone. At that time, if Gu Qingcheng hadn't addressed her as "mother", Yang Mo would have thought she was his girlfriend instead.

  She sewed on the button, put on her shirt, "I'm going out to work, if you have anything, go find Gu Qingcheng."

  ………………

  In the film and television base in the North District, Shen Jia-yu hung up the phone, and a hint of worry had already appeared between his eyebrows.

  Yu Chen, leaning against the railing, asked: "Didn't he come out?"

  Shen Jiaoyu smiled slightly, "As expected."

  Yu Chen said: "You don't plan on returning to the entertainment industry, you used to study directing, aren't you planning on coming back to film a movie?"

  Yu Chen and Shen Jia-yu were classmates, after graduation Yu Chen followed her mother abroad, Shen Jia-yu made a restricted-level film and then disappeared.

  Although the film was banned in mainland China, it won corresponding awards in South Korea and Taiwan. Shen Jia-yu did not attend the award ceremony that year either.

  Shen Jia-yu said: "No such plans for now, let's talk about it after marriage."

  ………………

  Yang Fuxiao returned to the office and started work.

  The set of desk and chair that Gu Qingcheng had arranged for her previously was probably just to scare her, but she didn't have a single day before being assigned a separate office. Although it wasn't big, it was relatively small, but next to it was a floor-to-ceiling window that faced the sun. Even in this deep autumn weather, there were four or five hours of sunlight every day, and she had placed a potted sunflower by the window.

  Yang Mu Xiao would always be fully engaged in his work, but this time, he kept drifting off. He'd write for a bit and then drift off again, unable to concentrate as his mind kept wandering back to the kiss with Gu Qing Cheng in the office just now.

  She slammed her workbook shut in front of her, slightly annoyed at her own distraction, glanced at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes before she got off work.

  She started getting a little nervous.

  Gu Qingcheng told her to wait for him after work, but even if she didn't wait, wouldn't they still be going back to Zijuan Garden anyway? And things would go on as usual, with them interacting the same way as before.

  Yang Mo Xiao saved the day's work records on her computer, put on her fitted blazer and coat, took a glance at the time, grabbed her bag and was about to leave when her phone inside the bag rang.

  The phone number displayed on the screen was from X County. Yang Fuxiao slightly furrowed her brow and pressed the answer button.

  "Daybreak! I am your aunt!"

  "Uh-huh."

  Yang brushed off the dawn conversation while pushing the chair behind the office desk under the table.

  Because from the beginning, her uncle and aunt had privately reached an agreement with the Yang family to sell her to them, she remembered it clearly. Although the family situation at that time was really bad, and for her grandmother's illness, she was willing to follow Song Tianjiao back to the Yang family.

  Yang Fuxiao's aunt had already shouted: "Fuxiao, your grandma just fainted!"

  "What?!"

  Yang Buru's package suddenly fell to the ground from his hand.

  "I was just going back with your uncle and happened to see your grandmother collapse on the ground unconscious, she's being treated in hospital now."

  "I'll be right back!"

  Yang Fangxiao hung up the phone, stood still for three seconds, her mind filled with buzzing sounds. As soon as she came to herself, she picked up the bag on the ground and rushed out of the office door, bumping into Fang Shu who happened to be walking in the hallway.

  "Sorry!"

  Yang...

  Fang Shu looked at Yang Fu's excessively pale face and wanted to call out to her, but she had already taken advantage of the just-opened elevator door and rushed in.

  She furrowed her brow, the Shen family's dinner party today was in some sense set up for Yang Fuxiao, and Shen Jiayou should have also called Yang Fuxiao, so what is she doing now, looking so flustered.

  In the president's office, Sheng Weiwei was pestering Gu Qingcheng to print out a letter of recommendation for her.

  "Please, would you write me a letter of recommendation? I especially want to work at Attorney Shen's law firm. As a top student from a prestigious university, I'm confident that I can handle the work there."

  This sentence has already been repeated by Weibo at least ten times.

  Gu Qingcheng lifted his hand and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, asking: "What major are you?"

  Sheng Weiwei suddenly wilted.

  "You studied chemistry," said Gu Qingcheng. "Whatever is related to law in your profession, I can write for you, but how am I supposed to write this now?"

  Sheng slightly bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Just write that I majored in Secretarial Studies, and then my second degree was in Law. That way, I can get in directly."

  "What about authenticity?"

  "You're the president of MSC, who would doubt your authenticity?"

  "I'm telling you, Sheng Weiwei, as soon as you step into the law firm's door, you'll be exposed, no need to even send in a letter of recommendation."

  Sheng Weiwei: "...... I'll trade you Yang Muxiao's nude photos for yours, how about it?"

  Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow.

  "Absolutely genuine nude photos!"

  Knock knock knock, three knocks on the door.

  Gu Qingcheng ignored the faintly smiling Sheng Weiwei by his side, raised his head and said, "Please come in."

  Fang Shu pushed open the door and entered, saying: "The car downstairs is ready."

  Gu Qingcheng took a suit jacket from the clothes rack and put it on neatly. Sheng Wei turned around, "Gu Qingcheng, what about my letter of recommendation?"

  "You can ask your dad to write a letter of recommendation, it should be more useful than mine."

  As he passed by Yang Furong's office, Gu Qingcheng slowed down his pace and took a glance inside the office through the glass door.

  The offices of the MSC Group, except for the executive offices which have wooden doors that cannot be seen inside, all ordinary employee office doors are glass doors with a layer of frosted paper in the middle, visible from top to bottom.

  It's no longer inside.

  Gu Qingcheng slightly furrowed his brow, didn't he say that Yang Fu Xiao should wait for him after work?

  Fang Shu, who was following behind Gu Qingcheng, noticed his actions and said: "Just now when Miss Yang got off work, she seemed to have an urgent matter and rushed directly into the elevator."

  Gu Qingcheng's footsteps paused slightly.

  "Anything urgent?"

  Fang Shu did not know about the content of this urgent matter and directly said he had not heard it.

  Downstairs, on the roadside, surrounded by a crowd of people.

  Gu Qingcheng had never been interested in such scenes of onlookers on the street, but there were indeed many spectators, noisy like a vegetable market.

  It so happened that it was rush hour at this time, and many people were crowded on the side of the road.

  At the hotel entrance, it was also affecting traffic. Fang Shu called the security guard inside the hotel to come out and maintain the smooth flow of the road in front of the hotel. Just as Gu Qingcheng was about to get into the car, he saw a very familiar figure surrounded by the crowd.

  Gu Qingcheng saw it at the same time as Fang Shu, who was standing on one side.
