In the end, Ling Chen had still underestimated him. Originally, he had thought that he could somewhat restrain himself after going to the old house to find him the day before.

No one answered the call and it soon quieted down, but the caller seemed determined to get through. Not long later, the phone rang again.

"I... Uh... You are Miss Xiao Xiao? " The man's voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat startled, then asked uncertainly.

Zhang Xiao Xiao's face was a little embarrassed, she actually picked up the phone. It was still early in the morning … What other people think.

Laughter came from above, Zhang Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked up, his eyes was clear and bright, without a trace of sleepiness.

Zhang Xiao Xiao angrily glared at Ling Chen and grinded her teeth. Zhang Xiao Xiao had obviously awoken on purpose to let her pick up the phone so that she could misunderstand.

Zhang Xiao Xiao shoved the phone into Ling Chen's arms bitterly, then broke free from Ling Chen's embrace and turned around with his back facing Ling Chen, angrily continuing to sleep.

Ling Chen chuckled, he picked up the phone, looked at the caller and his face darkened. Unless something urgent happened, An Nan would not choose to disturb him at this time.

"What is it?" A low, lazy voice rang out.

Thinking about the contents of the newspaper and the online reports, An Nan was about to open his mouth, but then suddenly thought about Zhang Xiao Xiao's existence. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "CEO, it's not convenient. Can you pick up the phone somewhere else?"

Hearing that, Ling Chen lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Xiao Xiao, and understood. The intent was to let him avoid Zhang Xiao Xiao, and maybe get An Nan to say something to avoid Zhang Xiao Xiao. Ling Chen frowned, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, when he heard the report from the other side, Ling Chen was so angry that he almost smashed the phone.

"CEO... Don't be angry … " An Nan advised while trembling, even through the phone, he could feel Ling Chen's dense killing intent.

"Buy all the newspapers that have reported on this matter and ban all news online. Immediately!" Fury overflowed into the heavens within Ling Chen's black eyes as his expression darkened to the point that it seemed as if water would drip out of it.

"Yes, I'll go deal with it immediately." An Nan's voice trembled as he replied. Only after hearing the beeping sound from the other side of the phone, did he heave a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen sneered. Seems like he had underestimated Ling Guoyuan, he had been caught unprepared, and actually made a move so quickly. She had thought that she would have restrained herself from mentioning Su Ye yesterday, but how could a man who brought a newlyweds back to his old home before his wife's bones turned cold feel so dirty?

Zhang Xiao Xiao had already walked into the study and lightly symbolic knocked on the door twice: "Uncle, are you alright?"

Originally, she didn't want to ask about this, because after Uncle specifically left the room, she knew that he was probably avoiding her.

However, just now, when she was far away, she could faintly hear Ling Chen's shout, and her emotions seemed to be a little agitated. In her memories, Uncle had never lost her composure like this before, and since she couldn't be at ease, she stood up to take a look.

Ling Chen took a deep breath, and looked at Zhang Xiao Xiao with a complicated gaze.

In the end, Ling Chen surrendered first. He shook his head in frustration and rubbed Xiao Xiao's hair: "Little girl, I'm sorry. If I did something that I'm sorry about, would you forgive me?"

What should he do? Facing her, he couldn't even say a single lie. All he wanted to do was throw away his armor and surrender his weapon.

Hearing that, Zhang Xiao Xiao's heart tensed up, his voice became louder, but he looked to the side, acting as though he did not care: "What's wrong?"

Ling Chen let out a light sigh, his voice was somewhat muffled, and a look of vexation appeared in the depths of his eyes. They leaked the news of An Qinghuan and I's engagement to the media. "

Zhang Xiao Xiao was startled for a moment, then realized that the person Ling Chen was referring to was his father. From the looks of the uncle, the matter seemed to be a little serious. Zhang Xiao Xiao tightened his fingers, and his throat tightened.

"Sorry, Xiao Xiao, I will take care of this matter as soon as possible." Ling Chen looked at Zhang Xiao Xiao apologetically. It was not because of anything else, but because he did not wish for his little girl to be harmed by the rumors outside.

Ling Guoyuan, he mouthed the name once again in his heart, and his gaze became even more profound.

Even if Ling Chen was resourceful, the news still spread out. Although it was suppressed in time, it did not spread out much. However, as the staff of the presentation company, they took this matter as the subject of their discussion after lunch and stated many different versions of it.

Among all the versions, the most popular one was that Ling Chen and his fiancee were supposed to be very loving, but An Nan somehow managed to put his cousin by his side. Thus, Zhang Xiao Xiao became the third person to ruin the happiness of others.

The most pitiful person in the middle should be An Nan, who suddenly became the accomplice to the entire matter. He wanted to cry but had no tears to tell the other party, no! Zhang Xiao Xiao was not his cousin at all, he was the girlfriend of the CEO. However, he didn't know where to start, so he could only resign himself to his fate and take the blame.

That day, after Ling Chen carried Zhang Xiao Xiao away, the people of the company had already determined that Zhang Xiao Xiao was Ling Chen's real girlfriend. When they looked at her, they would more or less feel a little envious.

But now, a new CEO's fiancee suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the two families were on the same side. When the two were compared, Zhang Xiao Xiao was naturally considered as Little San. The way others looked at her had also changed. From envy to blatant disdain and contempt.
