At Su Ziqian’s arrival, Xu Weilai slowly released the breath that she had been holding.

She quickly rearranged her expression and forced a smile onto her face. She nodded at Su Ziqian politely. “h.e.l.lo, Miss Su. I’m Xu Weilai, the reporter from Z Magazine.”

As she spoke, she retrieved her name card from her bag and handed it over.

Su Ziqian took her card from her hand and politely glanced at it before pa.s.sing it to her a.s.sistant, who was standing behind. She looked at Gu Yu, and asked smilingly, “Yu, Miss Xu, I saw that you were talking. Do you… know each other?”

Judging from how Gu Yu had flared up moments before, Xu Weilai could easily guess how precious his love with Su Ziqian was to him. In order to avoid any further misunderstandings, she replied without a second thought, “Not at all.”

Her words were forceful and clear.

Gu Yu’s cold eyes turned piercing as he stared at her.

Xu Weilai looked down instinctively to avoid his gaze. She maintained her composure as she explained, “Mr. Gu is well-known as a genius in the business world. I’ve long admired him. I didn’t expect to suddenly meet him here, and excitedly requested an interview with him. But he rejected me.”

“Oh, I see…” Su Ziqian smiled in understanding. Affectionately, she said, “Yu has always been like that. He doesn’t like the media. Please forgive him, Miss Xu.”

Xu Weilai smiled in reply. “It was I who overstepped.”

Just like that, their previous exchange was behind them. Su Ziqian turned her head toward Gu Yu, and said coquettishly, “Yu, I have an interview with Miss Xu. Just wait for me over at that corner. I’ll be done soon.”

She pointed to the couch at the corner of the lounge.

Perhaps it was to spare Su Ziqian any embarra.s.sment, but Gu Yu didn’t say anything further. He removed his arms from Su Ziqian’s hold and turned around. However, he didn’t walk toward the couch. Instead, the left the lounge altogether.

Su Ziqian didn’t seem to take any offense and laughed as she watched him walk away.
