Xia Yangyang felt that something was lifted off her chest, and she could finally breathe easy after ending the call.
It was what she had expected.
Xia Yangyang had called Gu Qichen earlier on.
She packed her belongings and traveled to Flourishing Origin.
The building was situated in the heart of the business district, and the building itself was a landmark in the capital city.
Xia Yangyang was very familiar with the building, and she made a beeline for the lift that would take her to the highest level.
Gu Qichen’s office was on the 60th level.
The broadcast members were in the waiting area.
Xu Li looked as though a savior had appeared when she saw Xia Yangyang.
“Yangyang, hurry! This is the script. You have to handle the interview and we have postponed it to 4:30 p.m. You have less than an hour to prepare yourself. Sorry for the late notice.”
Xia Yangyang took the script. “Senior, don’t worry, I will do my best.”
Her gaze roamed around the area after she finished talking.
Her eyes met Guan Xuer’s.
Traces of tears were evident on her face, and she was flanked by two other members who were comforting her.
For a split second, Xia Yangyang glimpsed the hatred in Guan Xuer’s eyes. But fragility and pity replaced it instantly.
That was how Guan Xuer had blindfolded her in the past.
Xia Yangyang read the script carefully and intently. The interview started on time when Gu Qichen arrived.
This was the first time she had interviewed someone. Deep down, she was really nervous. But she was at ease and reassured when she saw Gu Qichen.
The interview went smoothly and Xia Yangyang was very professional.
After the interview ended, Xia Yangyang stood up. But she hadn’t noticed a wire and she almost fell and tripped.
Fortunately, Gu Qichen saved her in the nick of time.
He lowered his voice and chided her. “Why are you so careless? You’re just like a kid.”
Xia Yangyang hastily pulled her arm away from Gu Qichen and glanced nervously around the room.
Everyone was busy with packing up and luckily, no one noticed them.
From the way Gu Qichen looked and touched her, misunderstandings were bound to arise.
Guan Xuer, who stood at a corner, had witnessed everything.
The more she watched, the firmer her conviction was. Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang had some sort of relationship.
Everyone had stowed their equipment away and was about to leave.
Guan Xuer suddenly darted forward and spoke to Gu Qichen. “President Gu, can I use this opportunity to ask a personal question on behalf of all the ladies in Fengcheng City? Do you have a girlfriend?”
Guan Xuer’s abrupt question had everyone straightening their backs, and at the same time, captured their attention.
It was a very personal question and it concerned privacy. Public and influential figures usually disliked such questions, but everyone else would be curious and eager to know their answer.
Almost everyone held their breath as no one was sure if Gu Qichen would answer. In the worst-case scenario, he might fly into a rage.
Actually, Xia Yangyang knew that Guan Xuer was suspicious of them. So Guan Xuer wanted to prove her suspicions right.
At this time, if Gu Qichen were to say yes, it would prove that he had a relationship with Xia Yangyang.
If he denied, it would mean that even if Xia Yangyang and he did have a relationship, she wasn’t that important to him.
Guan Xuer wanted to see the second scenario happening. Gu Qichen had already proclaimed to Lu Haotian and her that he was Xia Yangyang’s boyfriend.
But Guan Xuer couldn’t determine if he had put on a show.
Right now, if Gu Qichen were to deny it, it would mean that he was merely having a fling with Xia Yangyang.
