Chapter 589: 589, it takes two to tango
Shi Huan was just barely able to keep a smile on her face.
While the dress she was wearing was somewhat conservative, her shoulders were exposed. Where his hand held her, their bare skin tightly pressed together, making heat spread and goosebumps rise all over her body.
Another reporter asked, “Miss Huan, how long have you known Mr. Chu?”
Shi Huan tilted her head as if pondering, “Seven…”
She only said half of it when a reporter immediately said, “So you’ve known each other for seven months?”
Shi Huan’s smile was polite and appropriate.
Mo Weiyi by her side was also finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Thankfully Shi Huan arrived on time, otherwise, she almost messed up just now.
It was her first time dealing with this kind of situation.
Based on the fact that she had been seen coming out of Chu Xiuhuang’s room and he was still undressed, who would believe they hadn’t done anything?
Once this kind of news gets out, people will definitely assume there was an inappropriate relationship between the two.
Mo Weiyi gave Shi Huan a grateful smile, ready to leave, but just then a female reporter blocked her way, “Miss Mo, do you know Miss Huan as well?”
Mo Weiyi was taken aback and nodded on reflex.
“In that case, Miss Huan, do you know about what just happened between Miss Mo and Mr. Chu?”
Shi Huan looked at the female reporter, “What happened?”
The female reporter spoke distinctly, “Just now Mr. Chu and Miss Mo were in a hotel room here, and Mr. Chu has even taken a shower. They must have already done something.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Mo Weiyi’s face stiffened, “Hasn’t the bed been checked? Even the condom wrapper wasn’t opened, be careful what you say, or I’ll sue you for defamation!”
Rong An immediately stepped in front of her.
His face was gloomy and his fists tightly clenched.
As if he was ready to retaliate at her words.
Chu Xiuhuang also spoke coldly, “A woman, yet your mouth is so dirty? Tell me, which media agency are you with?”
The female reporter seemed unafraid and declared, “I’m from Huanyu Media.”
Huanyu Media?
Chu Xiuhuang’s laugh became even more dismissive, “I see, so old Gu has such capable employees? Not afraid of death, are you?”
The female reporter’s face stiffened a bit, but she still bravely said, “Mr. Chu, as news reporters, we always seek the truth. The fact that you had a rendezvous here with Miss Mo is the truth. Many photographers just saw Miss Mo running out of your room, don’t you want to deny it?”
Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, “Threatening me?”
“I wouldn’t dare, who would dare threaten Mr. Chu? If you feel uncomfortable, none of the news pieces from today will be published.” The female reporter’s words made it clear that Chu Xiuhuang’s reaction confirmed his and Mo Weiyi’s date.
If Chu Xiuhuang really uses his connections to suppress this news, it would prove that he has a guilty conscience.
Mo Weiyi’s face tightened.
She knew the media likes to exaggerate, especially entertainment reporters.
But she never thought that something like this would happen to her.
If she had known, she would have let Rong An stick with her.
She herself didn’t care about these rumors, but if the news really broke out, it might affect Xiao Yebai and the Mo Family.
“Miss Mo, are you nervous now?” The female reporter questioned forcefully.
Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers and let out a cold laugh, “I have already said that Mr. Chu and I did nothing. You all misunderstood.”
“Then why did you come out of Mr. Chu’s room?”
“I suddenly fainted in the restroom and woke up here.”
“So, Miss Mo, you’re implying that Mr. Chu knocked you out and brought you here? So, you two surely have done something?”
When this sentence was said, the reporters on the scene seemed even more excited.
“Miss Mo, is that to say, you too, are a victim?”
“Mr. Chu, how would you explain this?”
“We initially thought that Mr. Chu and Miss Mo were in love, but now it seems that is not the case?”
“Miss Huan, what is your opinion on this matter?”
“There’s a Love Potion Fairy in the room, so Mr. Chu, did you really intend to drug Miss Mo?”
“Not just the Love Potion Fairy, there are even condoms!”
Of course, there were different opinions as well.
“We heard that people in high society know how to have fun. Miss Mo, isn’t it a bit unfair to blame everything on Mr. Chu?”
“True, it takes two to tango.”
“Everyone knows you two were once engaged, and there’s still lingering affection!”
“…”
The reporters’ various questions came one after another, and the place started to lose control as everyone had a different version of the story, each one more exaggerated than the last.
Chu Xiuhuang’s handsome face turned black as pitch.
This little princess, could you please not be so… stupid?
Answering every question the reporters throw at you?
Do you think this is a school class where you’re answering questions from the teacher?
Now you’re caught in their trap, aren’t you?
In fact, this kind of gossip news, to him, doesn’t matter at all. After all, there’s never been a shortage of such news about him over the years.
In the past couple of years, because of the old man’s matchmaking arrangements and his tussle with Shi Huan, the news had dropped drastically. Now, if it suddenly erupted that he and Mo Weiyi had an affair…
He could well imagine, tomorrow’s headlines were certain to be dominated by this news.
Looking at Mo Weiyi’s pale face, Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, just about to speak…
“Everyone, could you please listen to me for a moment,” Shi Huan’s voice suddenly rang out.
All the reporters immediately turned their attention to her…
Chu Xiuhuang’s current girlfriend.
But the attention they paid was complex, mostly sympathetic, with a hint of contempt.
This Miss Huanhuan is pretty, there’s no need for her to be with a man as infamous as Chu Xiuhuang, right?
If it’s for the money, Chu Xiuhuang is messing around with Mo Weiyi like this, it’s like putting a green hat on her, can she put up with this?
With everyone’s attention on her, Shi Huan spoke calmly, “Actually, today, my boyfriend did indeed arrange to meet Miss Mo here. However, they just had some matters to discuss.”
The female reporter was the first to express doubt, “A man and a woman, getting a room to talk? Who would believe that?”
“Exactly, and they even prepared so many roses and balloons in the room.”
“There’s even a condom on the bedside table!”
“It’s clearly a well-prepared rendezvous!”
“How does Love Potion Fairy explain this?”
“They keep saying it’s to discuss matters, can you tell us what matters?”
Shi Huan smiled and spoke again, “This suite, it’s for… ”
She corrected herself, “It’s prepared by Axui for me.”
Axui?
Hearing this name, Chu Xiuhuang’s eyebrow raised slightly.
All this time, people have called him Ahuang, Xiuhuang, Young Master Chu, Sir Chu, Big Brother Chu, CEO Chu.
This is the first time that he heard someone call him “Axui.”
Well.
Truth be told, it actually sounds quite nice.
Especially when it came from Shi Hua’s mouth, the originally aloof voice, saying the word “Axui”, inexplicably carried a touch of affection.
Decided!
From now on she will call him Axui!
On the other side, the reporters were still aggressively questioning her.
“Prepared for you? Miss Huanhuan, there’s no need to swallow your pride to this extent to get into the Chu family, right?”
“Exactly, everyone knows that the Chu family is a renowned aristocratic family.”
“Without a substantial family background, who could easily marry into the Chu family?”
“Young Master Chu has had so many girlfriends over the years, they could form a line all the way to the sixth ring of Nancheng, does Miss Huanhuan really think she can get into the Chu family?”
Shi Huan kept her smile, “Whether I can enter the Chu family is not within the scope of today’s discussion, is it?”
Chu Xiuhuang remained silent all along, just holding her. Sometimes he would raise an eyebrow, sometimes he would hook his thin lips. This situation arose because of him, and yet he seemed like a bystander.
There was a relaxed satisfaction in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the drama.
In fact, he was indeed quite pleased.
Shi Huan had been his secretary for five years, and to be honest, she had made significant progress.
From the earliest days, when she could be reduced to tears by the idle chatter of her colleagues, to now, being Nancheng’s top-ranked secretary. Over these five years, the efforts she had put in were not just about working hard at her job.
In fact, Shi Huan had received countless professional academic and practical training sessions in private over these years.
If you said that initially, he let her start the business with him purely to help the Shi family, then later on, Chu Xiuhuang really had grown accustomed to her assistance at work.
…
Meanwhile, the reporters seemed to be a bit taken aback.
They suddenly realized that Chu’s current girlfriend seemed a bit different from the previous ones.
They thought she was just a pretty but brainless vase, but it turned out… she spoke clearly, acted gracefully, had a respectful attitude, and her defenses were well reasoned.
