Xiao Yaojing raised her eyebrows in amusement. She drew her arm from his and wrapped it around his neck. “You are my boyfriend, after all.” She tiptoed so she could whisper it in his ear.

PA Wen intended to step back but he did not want to make it obvious in public. Hence, he grabbed her waist and tightened his grip.

Xiao Yaojing realized that whenever they were outside and around people, he was composed and calm, unlike his cowardly attitude in private.

“Check it out, I think he is Mr. Qiao from Bo Jue Heavy Industries,” someone exclaimed from the hall.

Both PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing turned around at the same time curiously.

Qiao Yi had come with his secretary instead of a plus one.

As PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing exchanged glances, Qiao Yi started walking toward them.

He gazed fell on Xiao Yaojing briefly as he walked up to PA Wen. “Sorry for the inconvenience I caused when the discussion I had with a good friend of mine regarding Mr. Gu spread like wildfire.”

PA Wen looked down at the hand Qiao Yi had stretched out as a friendly gesture, but he refused to shake it. “I’m glad that you’ve come to realize the consequences. Gossip is a scary thing and as the CEO of a listed company, you should know better.”

Qiao Yi seemed indifferent at the comment and retracted his hand.

“PA Wen, it seems to me that you are upset,” implied Qiao Yi politely.

“Shouldn’t I be?” PA Wen sneered, “Even though the loss was minimal, those statements from you brought significant damage to Gu Enterprise. Should I not be upset?”

Qiao Yi shrugged his shoulders callously and drawled, “It doesn’t matter what I say, the cat will be out of the bag once Mr. Gu shows up. I don’t see why you have to be so uptight.”

Upon Qiao Yi’s remark, people started gossiping in whispering murmurs. The elephant in the room was Gu Juexi himself, it was just that he was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

PA Wen’s hands curled into fists but he retained his professional smile. “Is our CEO’s presence really necessary just because of some senseless rumors? True blue never stains.”

“Also,” Xiao Yaojing spoke up suddenly, “Mr. Qiao, why are you targeting Gu Enterprise out of the blue when you are new in town?”

“Miss, I think you misunderstand, how daring do you think I am to target Gu Enterprise?” Qiao Yi laughed it off, looking innocent.

PA Wen gripped Xiao Yaojing’s arm when he sensed she was in a rage. “I think you know your own intention. I hate to advise you but B City is a big and complex place and you are new here. Ignorance is bliss, and some stones are better left unturned.”

He grabbed Xiao Yaojing to turn around and leave. He took champagne from a nearby waiter and passed it to her.

“I don’t think he will come, he’s simply sending a PA as a smokescreen,” a lady mocked in a high-pitched voice not far from them.

Xiao Yaojing and PA Wen turned around and saw a small-time actress standing beside a man. Xiao Yaojing recognized her from her unsuccessful seduction attempt on Gu Juexi which had ended up with her scandals being exposed by Gu Juexi instead. It was a wonder she could find a new sugar daddy so soon.

“After all, he is just Gu Juexi’s lackey.”

As she finished her insult, Xiao Yaojing threw the red wine in her glass onto the woman’s face. “B*tch, you should be grateful that this is not acid.”

“B*tch, are you crazy? Who knows, probably Gu Juexi is already—”

“Gu Juexi is already what?”
