The three of them were dumbfounded.

Everyone in the entire capital city knew who Gu Qichen was.

He was the man that all the wealthy young ladies and socialites wished to marry. He was the perfect lover that all women dreamed about. He was the ideal man that the models and celebrities wanted.

Other than his face often appearing on financial magazines, he was also popular in the entertainment industry as he hit headlines frequently. There was no way Guan Xuer, who majored in journalism, wouldn’t recognize him.

Gu Qichen had strolled casually over to Xia Yangyang. He spoke in a deep, masculine voice, “Who are they?”

Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected Gu Qichen to suddenly appear, so her thoughts were in a whirl. “I have nothing to do with them.”

A trace of warmth softened Gu Qichen’s expression as he held Xia Yangyang’s hand. “I bought you something from Japan. Go and take a look.”

He completely ignored Lu Haotian and Guan Xuer’s presence.

Lu Haotian sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t right. Gu Qichen had put his arm around Xia Yangyang to lead her out of the room.

Lu Haotian darted forward to grab Xia Yangyang’s arm. He interrogated her, “Yangyang, what is your relationship with him?”

Xia Yangyang stopped, and both she and Gu Qichen turned. Everyone’s eyes trailed to Xia Yangyang, including Guan Xuer.

Gu Qichen was also looking at Xia Yangyang, as though he was looking for an answer.

She inhaled deeply and spoke clearly, “He is my boyfriend.”

On hearing the proclamation, Gu Qichen and Lu Haotian frowned at the same time.

Lu Haotian was in a state of disbelief. “Yangyang, how could you do this to me?”

At the sight of Lu Haotian’s expression and Guan Xuer’s disbelief, Xia Yangyang admitted that she felt a sense of delight.

Gu Qichen’s timely appearance had salvaged a little of Xia Yangyang’s pride. At least, she didn’t look like a fool who was manipulated by them.

Xia Yangyang didn’t care about how Lu Haotian was feeling. She took the initiative and held Gu Qichen’s arm. “Let’s go to Marine Feast Tower to eat their poached sliced fish! I haven’t eaten it in ages.”

Gu Qichen tapped her nose gently with a hint of affection. “You little glutton.”

Lu Haotian had turned red with anger. Suddenly, he yelled at Gu Qichen, “Do you know how I am related to Yangyang? I’m her childhood sweetheart!”

He was burning with anxiety and anger. Despite his affair with Guan Xuer, he was still confident about salvaging his relationship with Yangyang as he was her childhood sweetheart.

But when Gu Qichen appeared at this moment, it was the first time he had felt such a strong sense of imminent danger and crisis.

Gu Qichen faced him as he spoke calmly, “I’m her first man.”

With that, he led Xia Yangyang out of the conference room.

There was a huge audience crowded outside of the conference room. A man and a woman had come to look for Xia Yangyang respectively and everyone’s minds were spinning with gossip and stories about their relationships.

But their boss had appeared abruptly, and the ending became unpredictable.

Their boss had always disliked Xia Yangyang. Now she even used her working hours and the conference room to handle her personal problems.

When the boss had just stepped in, everyone was gossiping and discussing about the three of them.

Lu Xiaoman had blurted out that the good-looking man was Yangyang’s ex boyfriend…

Their boss had overheard them, and he didn’t even halt his footsteps as he walked towards the conference room.

Everyone sympathized with Xia Yangyang and guessed that she would get into trouble with the boss again.

Indeed, as everyone had expected, Xia Yangyang exited the conference room with the boss.

She bowed her head as she trailed behind the boss to his office.
