Chapter 626 - Did You Fear I Would Eat You?

It was beyond Xia Ning’s wildest imagination that one day she could come to Qiao Yu’s company, Shengshi Group’s headquarters in S City.

Standing at the gate, Xia Ning was still a little hesitant.

She was aware of this man’s feeling of dissatisfaction about her refusal to make their relationship public. If she did not listen to him today, he might become more suspicious. She had no time to deal with the man’s suspicion.

“Why aren’t you walking?” The man before her suddenly turned to look at her.

Xia Ning regained her sense and smiled at him, “I’m coming.” Saying so, she followed him forward but kept a distance of more than one meter.

The staff in the hall on the first floor saw Qiao Yu coming inside and greeted him, “Boss, good morning.”

Qiao Yu nodded, “Good morning!” He directly went towards his personal elevator.

Xia Ning followed Qiao Yu, saw nobody looking at her, and felt surprised. Didn’t Shengshi Group’s staff know her? Or were they too well-mannered?

In doubt, Xia Ning followed Qiao Yu into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator’s door closed, the staff on the first floor looked at each other as if they were confirming something.

Someone suddenly said, “Was the person who followed the boss into the elevator... Xia Ning?”

“You are right. I’m her fan. I can recognize her even if she turns into ashes!” Another individual answered.

“This is the first time boss brought a woman to the company. What is the relationship between them?” Instantly, these men and women began to gossip.

They were gossiping in groups of three or five people.

“This is without a doubt. Since the boss has already brought Xia Ning to the company, they must be in a romantic relationship.”

“Haha... You are foolish. Can a cold man like the boss be obtainable? In addition, she is a Queen of Scandals. The boss will be tarnished however clean he is.”

“I think so. The boss’s girlfriend must come from a clean, wealthy background. Anyway, it cannot be a female star from the entertainment circle.”

“I couldn’t agree more with you. Hasn’t Xia Ning said before that she and the boss are just alumni?”

A female receptionist heard their remark on her idol and instantly grew unhappy. She immediately said aloud, “Why doesn’t my Lemon match the boss? Young as she is, she is already the second-largest shareholder of SE Entertainment. She already has a privileged background. She also got a master’s degree from Cambridge in the same subject as the boss. Her serenely beautiful appearance is second to none in the entertainment circle. Don’t you guys think they match each other when they are walking together?”

“You are a true fan. We praise you.”

“Okay. Okay. Go to work.”

“Nowadays, young women who adore idols cannot distinguish reality and their ideals. Ah...”

The young receptionist watched annoyingly as her colleagues went back to their work. What did they mean? How could they disagree with her?!

Seeing the young woman becoming ferocious, a girl working beside her mustered enough courage to say, “Alright, don’t be angry. You clearly know that your idol is involved in many scandals. Our boss particularly hates gossip. Last time, didn’t those female stars like Li Shanshan and Chen Shiyan end miserably?”

“Could they match Lemon?” The young receptionist glared at the girl next to her.

The girl was left speechless. Was there any difference? Weren’t they all female stars who gained fame under the hidden rule in the entertainment circle? Even if Xia Ning’s background could be considered okay, she was too far away from the boss. Ah, a foolish fan turned out to be really foolish, always regarding her idol as better than anybody else.

Inside the elevator, Qiao Yu naturally knew nothing about the gossip outside. As soon as the door closed, he cornered Xia Ning.

Xia Ning got upset and pushed the man who pressed against her, “What are you doing? Let me go!” Her gaze fell on the elevator’s changing number as she was afraid that the elevator’s door would open and people would see them.

“When we came into the company just now, you kept a distance from me. Did you fear I would eat you up?” Qiao Yu looked at her dangerously.

Xia Ning moved her eyebrows, “Of course not.”

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows, “Are you telling the truth? Then I have to confirm it!” He suddenly held her face and directly kissed her lips...
