Chapter 730: My Dear, Are You In Love?
Hidden Marriage
Cook was polite and reserved when talking to Su Yimo, but his attitude changed when he saw Ning Xi. Almost immediately, his tone turned passionate and he gave her a big hug the moment he saw her.
Ning Xi had stayed in America for four years, so she was used to their way of greeting people. Returning his hug, she exclaimed, "Long time no see!"
"Oh, my dear, whyâ¦" Cook suddenly gaped at her in surprise.
Ning Xi blinked at him. "What is it?"
"My dear, you look more beautiful than before!" Cook enthused.
Ning Xi laughed. "Dear Director, arenât you good at giving girls compliments?"
Cook looked at her genuinely. "Oh, no, no, you really look more beautiful now. Wait, specifically, youâve got more charisma. Tell me, are you in love?"
Ning Xi was floored. What was happening? Did this guy have some special eyes?
"Director Cook, youâre really good with jokes!" Ning Xi carefully glanced at Ling Zhizhi, casually making up an excuse.
Cook did not press further on her love life and Ling Zhizhi did not notice anything as well.
"Then, Iâll see you later, sweetie. I've got a strong hunch that everyone will be surprised by you!"
"See you later, thank you!"

Su Yimo and Liang Biqin could not hear what their conversation was about, but Cook and Ning Xiâs intimacy was apparent.
Su Yimoâs expression darkened.
Liang Biqin was upset as well. "Why is that woman so close to Director Cook?"
"Seems like they're a little too close!" suggested one of the female artistes.
Liang Biqin sneered, "I was wondering how she got invited. Ling Zhizhi could not have possibly gotten her an invitation cardâ¦this witch, sheâs getting better and better with men!"
Su Yimo glared at her annoyedly. "Stop talking nonsense. Donât forget what I told you."
Her cousin was too impulsive and was unable to control her emotions well. Everyone in the industry knew that she was Su Yimoâs cousin, so whatever she said might indirectly affect Su Yimoâs reputation.
"Iâm sorry, I just couldnât stand her irritating vibes!" Liang Biqin mumbled.
"Sis Yimo, youâre just too nice. I wouldnât be able to stand always getting compared to herâ¦"
"Exactly!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moments later, the conference started.
Nobleâs founder gave a brief introduction to the core idea of their latest product and their future marketing plans. Then, with Su Yimo taking the lead, the big shots from the entertainment industry started voicing out their opinions.
In response to an interview, Su Yimo expressed, "Iâve always liked Nobleâs products. Iâm impressed by their creativity and Iâm really honored to be invited to this conferenceâ¦"
"Yimo, I heard Director Cook wanted you to be the ambassador initially, but unfortunately, youâre unable to comply due to your contract with Chanel. Is that true?" asked a journalist.
Su Yimo smiled. "Thatâs unfortunate indeed."
The journalist pointed his mic at Director Cook and asked, "Director Cook mustâve felt disappointed as well!"
Cook replied immediately, "Not at all, itâs my luck! This could be described as a blessing disguised as a misfortune! Iâm really satisfied with my ambassador this time around. Sheâs amazing!"
