âMy boyfriend is a very self-respecting man. Although he was often derisively called a playboy by the outside world, and even a rumor of him being gay with Advocate Lu was spread, he has the pride and dignity of a man when faced with such situations. Soâ¦â
Shi Huan sighed, his tone heavy yet sincere, âCould you please help, to keep the matter of today a secret for now? Particularly about him not telling about this incident, donât worry, my boyfriend will definitely reward you handsomely.â
The journalists are elated at the prospect of a lavish reward from the eldest son of the Chu family, and they politely respond:
âNo worries, we will not take advantage of a person in difficulties.â
âThis is a personal matter of Chu Junior, itâs indeed not appropriate for the media to report.â
âWe all have professional ethics.â
âYes, yes.â
ââ¦â
Shi Huan smiled brightly, âNo matter what, Iâm really sorry for causing all the misunderstandings today. I, as his girlfriend, was also in the wrong as I had a minor tiff with him over a petty matter earlier and was not able to come over immediately, which resulted in him and Miss Mo being in the same room, leading to your misunderstanding.â
After this explanation, the reporters did not have any complaints left.
Initially, they had all received anonymous calls stating that the Mo familyâs little princess was having a secret meeting with Chu Junior behind her husbandâs back upstairs.
Mo Weiyi has always portrayed a healthy and beautiful princess-like image to the outside world. Such a scandalous piece of news that completely contradicts this image would naturally surprise everyone.
Therefore, upon entering the room and seeing the scene, they all yearned to dig out juicy details like crazy.
Now, having realized that it was a misunderstanding involving Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang, the reporters knew very well that both the Chu family and Mo family were influential families of Nancheng. Would they dare to report false news? They wouldnât risk their livelihoods!
So after listening to these words, the reporters started to pack up their equipment.
âWait a moment.â
Chu Xiuhuangâs sudden interjection startled everyone.
Shi Huan also looked at him.
The matter was already resolved, what was he up to now?
âToday, my girlfriend and I did have a date here, but I feel bad to let you all run here in the middle of the night just to leave empty-handed. Letâs do this,â Chu Xiuhuang grinned wickedly, âYou help me conceal my condition, and Iâll give you the press headline.â
Shi Huan was taken aback.
The reportersâ eyes lit up, âChu Junior, you mean to say?â
âI havenât made it to the newspaperâs headlines for several months. Tomorrow I want to see the report on me and my girlfriend. Remember, it has to be the front-page headline, the pictures have to be good,â Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, then decisively pulled Shi Huan into his arms, âCome on, take a few more shots.â
After a brief surprise, the reporters immediately held up their cameras and started snapping at the couple.
So for a while, the entire suite was filled with a festive atmosphere.
While taking pictures, the reporters congratulated them.
Chu Xiuhuang held Shi Huan, smiled at the camera, with a smirk and raised eyebrows, he gave a âyeaâ gesture with one hand.
He was spreading his charm as much as possible, not caring at all about him wearing only a thin small bath towel.
Shi Huanâs smile was stiff, and her body was too stiff to move.
But at this moment, she was caught in a predicament and had to cooperate, otherwise wouldnât the whole drama she had played be wasted?
She could only pray that very few people would recognize her with her makeup on.
Mo Weiyi on the side had completely petrified.
If you talk about being flirtatious in Nancheng, Mr. Chu would rank second and probably no man would dare to claim the first place, right?
Finally, after the photo session was over, all the journalists were very satisfied.
After all, the news about Chu Junior having a girlfriend was indeed bombshell news, so tonightâs visit was not in vain.
After the journalists had dispersed, Shi Huan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Mo Weiyi immediately said, âHuanhuan, thank you so much for today.â
âYouâre welcome,â Shi Huan said with a hidden meaning, âRemember next time not to be tracked by reporters.â
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat-like eyes, looking innocent, âI was really framed.â
But Shi Huan only responded with silence.
âReally! I was in the restroom just now, and then suddenlyâ¦â
As Mo Weiyi wanted to explain, Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted her, âAlright little princess, youâd better hurry up and let your bodyguard take you home.â
He didnât want to delay his romantic time with Shi Huan!
Mo Weiyi looked at him, âI havenât asked you yet, what exactly happened? Why was I in your room?â
Chu Xiuhuang said, âYouâre asking me? Fucking hell, I want to ask you. How did you enter when I was bathing? And you even brought so many reporters?â
âI fainted when I went to the restroom, and when I woke up I was here!â
âYou wouldnât have really fallen for me, right? Taking advantage of Mr. Xiao being hospitalized, so you came to find me,â Chu Xiuhuang crossed his arms, clicked his tongue and added dismissively, âBut Iâm sorry, Iâm not interested in you now. I have little Huanhuan. Can you not cling to me anymore, hmm?â
Mo Weiyiâs face turned red with anger, âYouâre talking nonsense! I was framed!â
âWho can testify for you?â Chu Xiuhuang smirked unscrupulously.
Mo Weiyi clenched her small fist, glaring at him before turning around, âRong An, letâs go!â
Rong An immediately followed her.
Once they were outside in the corridor, he whispered, âPrincess, Iâll check the surveillance here.â
âYes, on this level. Including the restroom.â Mo Weiyi lifted his left wrist and glanced at the time, âFrom 9 to 9:30.â
âOkay.â
âAlso.â Mo Weiyi furrowed his eyebrows and quickly walked away, âMy phone is missing. Someone is definitely targeting me on purpose. Donât tell Xiaobai for now.â
âI understand.â

In the VIP suite, when the last of the non-essential personnel finally left, Chu Xiuhuang closed the door and immediately hugged Shi Huan.
Shi Huan jumped in surprise, âMr. Chu, what are you doing?â
âMr. Chu?â Chu Xiuhuang raised an unhappy eyebrow, âYou were calling me Axui just moments ago, now itâs âMr. Chuâ?â
Shi Huan replied, âI said that only for crisis management.â
âCrisis management?â Chu Xiuhuangâs eyebrows lifted even higher, âSeems like youâve really learned a lot from me these years, donât you think?â
âMr. Chu taught me well.â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Shi Huan glanced at the time, âMr. Chu, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll leave first.â
âWhy are you going home so early?â Chu Xiuhuang looked at her beautiful face, his adamâs apple bobbing heavily, âYour little uncle and aunt have returned to the country, right? They donât need you to take care of Little Luoluo anymore, right? What are doing back home then?â
âI have to prepare for the company opening soon.â
âIâm giving you a day off.â
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
She hesitated before saying, âCan I refuse this day off?â
âWhy?â
ââ¦â
Shi Huan frowned.
After a few days off, she felt like she was going to get rusty from idling around. She couldnât wait to get back to work at the company and keep herself busy.
Seeing her conflict, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said, âAlright then.â
Shi Huan was taken aback.
He agreed so quickly?
âYou can go back for now, Iâll find you tomorrow.â
After all this mess today, to be honest, the mood was completely ruined.
He had this room decorated to surprise her, but it was all ruined by those reporters.
The roses on the floor were trampled into fragments, many balloons were burst, the confetti had fallen, and most importantly, a box of Durex condoms was even torn open!
Damn it, they were such beasts!
The perfectionist Mr. Chu felt the need to plan it all over again. The next day happened to be Valentineâs Day, everything was in his favor.
Shi Huan nodded, âMr. Chu, Iâll leave first then.â
âMmm.â
Shi Huan promptly grabbed her bag and left.
How could he! Making her dress up, do her makeup and style her hair, just to have her come over and do crisis management for him.
No wonder they say a hero is always vulnerable to a beautyâs schemes.
As for Chu Xiuhuang, he quickly dialed a number on his phone, âOld Gu, I need a favor.â
âGo ahead.â
Daring to pull off this stunt under Gu Huaiâanâs watch, the person behind all this must have had major connections, and a lot of nerve.
They were either targeting Mo Family or him, Chu Xiuhuang.
Butâ¦
Chu Xiuhuang thought carefully and realized he had quite a few enemies.
The ones who attended todayâs event were mostly the elite families of Nancheng, with whom he interacted frequently, so he couldnât figure out who would be plotting against him in such a short amount of time.
The phone call lasted around 10 minutes.
After hanging up, he noticed several new messages on WeChat.
Checking them, he found they were all from Nangong Chu:
[Brother Chu, did something go wrong?]
[Your secretary scared me to death just now, calling me âsirâ!]
[Did she discover something?]
[Brother Chu, save me, where are you?]
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
What a silly girl.
