When Lingyuxiao woke up from his sleep, it was already past ten o'clock. The light outside had even illuminated the dark places in the room. He didn't remember what happened after yesterday, he only knew that he participated in Gong Xiaotong's banquet, and then, he hurriedly went to find Li Xi. As for what happened next, he knew nothing about it.

After being in the market for a long time, Lingyuxiao had long since become vigilant towards anything. If someone wanted to scheme against him, with his clever brain and extraordinary ability, he would be able to do so. However, this time, everything was very strange and he didn't feel any discomfort. Moreover, when he got up, he was lying on a large bed by himself with not a single piece of clothes off.

Since it was like that, Lingyuxiao did not think too much into it. Maybe it was because he drank too much last night, so he got drunk while going out to find Li Xi. He never thought that after being tricked by Lan Yetian and Gong Xiaomeng, he would be able to walk out of the hotel in a relaxed mood.

After Li Xi got up, she sat on the sofa and waited for Lingyuxiao to come back. Because she was too worried, she did not have the appetite for breakfast. In the end, the servants had no other choice but to wait for Li Xi to truly feel hungry before making them for her.

Lingyuxiao quickly drove the carriage home, his heart was still tied to Li Xi, he did not know if Li Xi had returned home yesterday, nor did he know how she did so, something must have happened while she was on her way home, right?

After returning home, Lingyuxiao saw Li Xi sitting on the sofa in the hall, completely motionless, with no expression at all. These days, Lingyuxiao had already gotten a good grasp of Li Xi's personality. He knew that as long as Li Xi was expressionless and did not speak, it was definitely because she was angry, and it was even more serious than the anger she displayed. Aware of this point, Lingyuxiao immediately walked to Li Xi's side and sat down, wanting to properly coax him.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Li Xi avoided Lingyuxiao's hand that was about to reach out to him, and turned her body to the other side, moving even more, and distanced herself from Lingyuxiao.

"I also want to ask where you went yesterday. After Gong Xiaotong and I finished dancing, you disappeared." Lingyuxiao also could not remember what happened either. He was more concerned about how Li Xi came back, whether it was safe or not.

"Don't change the subject now. Tell me, why didn't you come back? " Li Xi looked at Lingyuxiao's expression seriously and felt that Lingyuxiao was hiding something from him.

"Alright. I tell you. But you have to believe me. " Lingyuxiao wasn't sure if he would be angry after he told her the truth, but he didn't want to lie to her.

"Go ahead." Although Li Xi was angry, but as the saying goes, sentencing someone to death gave a chance for them to defend themselves, so she decided to give Lingyuxiao a chance to explain.

"I slept in the hotel yesterday, but I was alone, and I don't remember exactly what happened last night. Anyway, when I got up today, I was alone in the room. I know I should have come home to sleep, but maybe I was too drunk yesterday. " When Lingyuxiao said this, he had been observing him the entire time. From his expression, Li Xi was not sure if he was lying or telling the truth. Because when she wanted to choose to believe, Lingyuxiao's eyes flashed once again, as if something had been concealed.

"You did drink a few glasses of red wine last night. But I remember that you had a good capacity for alcohol, and you wouldn't get drunk just because of those glasses. Could it be that after you and Gong Xiaotong finished dancing, you didn't immediately come to find me, and instead started drinking with her? " Li Xi questioned Lingyuxiao's words.

"Regardless of whether you believe it or not, after I finished dancing with her, I only drank a cup and then went to find you. However, I couldn't find you, so I drove out to find you." Lingyuxiao swore, what he said to Li Xi right now were all true. But the key point was whether Li Xi chose to believe it or not.

"Then you said so much, but still didn't explain why you didn't go home to sleep, instead sleeping alone in the hotel." Just as Li Xi was continuing to interrogate Lingyuxiao, a ruckus started to break out from outside the house. Lingyuxiao immediately sent the servant over to check on what was happening.

"Young Master, there are a lot of reporters outside." The servant reported back, seemingly frightened by the reporters surrounding the area.

"What?" Lingyuxiao thought that the servant must be mistaken. He walked out quickly to confirm. Unexpectedly, there were really a lot of reporters with long lenses and microphones surrounding the scene. What was going on? Even if his company produced a new product, wouldn't it attract so many reporters? Besides, wasn't the advertisement still not officially online? Why would there be people blocking their way?

When Li Xi heard this, he also felt that it was strange. She followed Lingyuxiao outside to see what was going on.

President Ling, we had a photo taken last night of you and the new generation of Little Heavenly Queen Gong Xiaodong entering the hotel together. You didn't leave until this morning." What is your relationship? Are they dating? " Before Ling Yushi could walk over to clarify the situation, a reporter had already raised a question at him.

Hearing this, Lingyuxiao was not the one who was stunned, but Li Xi. She was more sensitive than anyone else when it came to hearing rumors and rumors about Lingyuxiao. Even though he had always heard that there was an intimate relationship between him and someone else. But it had never been so noisy. Yet now, not only did he not return home for an entire night, he was even photographed. He even told her that he was resting by himself in the hotel yesterday, clearly, only with Gong Xiaotong at the hotel …

Li Xi did not dare to associate herself with the scene at the hotel with the two anymore. That would only make him even more sad. She didn't care whether Lingyuxiao was able to deal with the reporters or not, she immediately walked into the house, went up to the second floor, and locked the door, not wanting anyone to disturb her.

Lingyuxiao detected the change in Li Xi and immediately gave chase. However, he was still locked outside of the door by Li Xi.

This time, Lingyuxiao did not continue to explain. Because he still did not understand, what he needed to do now was to immediately find Gong Xiaotong. Only she knew what had happened last night. If Gong Xiaotong was the one who plotted against her, then he would definitely not let her off. She would even not let her continue to live a peaceful life in the entertainment circle, leaving her with no other choice. Not only would this anger him, it would also ruin the relationship between him and Li Xi, which had recently improved with great difficulty.

Lingyuxiao anxiously went out, but the reporters did not stop. They did not seem to be satisfied with not giving him a satisfactory answer, instead, they did not want to leave this matter at that. The moment he came out, the reporters would surround him and ask all sorts of questions. This made Lingyuxiao, who was already bored, extremely angry, as he roared at the reporters. Those fierce eyes and cold roars made people feel like they couldn't get close to them. They were like an angry lion, scaring the reporters a few steps back.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lingyuxiao stepped through the crowd. Lingyuxiao didn't want to fall into the hands of a woman because of that. If she wanted to play tricks on him, she should have asked him whether he agreed or not. Little did he know that this time, he had already fallen into a trap.

Before Gu Wei had done anything, she had already predicted that Lingyuxiao would come to him after the matter developed. Hence, she was prepared, he was not afraid of Lingyuxiao questioning her at all.

Lingyuxiao came to Gong Xiaotong's house and impulsively knocked on the door, not caring if she was home or not. He was certain of only one thing, and that was that he had to figure out what had happened.

When Gu Wei heard a burst of hurried and rough knocking on the door, she knew that it was Lingyuxiao coming to find her. Her heart was still a little nervous, but she immediately calmed down and opened the door, allowing Lingyuxiao to enter.

It had to be said that Gu Wei really knew how to act. She pretended not to know that Lingyuxiao had come over. After opening the door and confirming, he revealed an expression of not knowing what had happened.

"What is it? Why are you looking for me at this time? " Gu Wei let Lingyuxiao in, then walked to the kitchen to make tea for him.

"Don't you know why I came to see you?" Lingyuxiao did not immediately question her, he only observed Gong Xiaotong's expression to see if she was pretending.

But since Gu Wei was already prepared, how could she let Lingyuxiao easily see through any flaws in it? One had to know that she had put in a lot of effort in order to get such a flawless acting.

"How would I know what you were looking for me for? Could it be an advertisement? Could it be a follow-up shoot? I think we should wait for the advertisement to be released first. I don't want to affect your products because of me. " Gu Wei purposely circled around other topics to not talk about what happened last night.

"That's not what I'm going to say. Let me ask you, yesterday you said that you would go with me to find Xiao Xi, what happened after that? "When I woke up, I was at the hotel. A group of reporters ran over to our house and told us that you and I were at the hotel last night. Could it be that this was all your plan?" Lingyuxiao's eyes were clearly filled with deterrence. Gu Wei also knew what would happen if Lingyuxiao got angry. However, she had already reached this point. If she stopped now, she would be in an even more miserable state than before. Not only would Lingyuxiao find trouble with her, Lan Yetian would also not let her go. Thus, she had no way out.

"Is that so? How come I don't know about this? " Gu Wei continued to pretend that she didn't know anything, and had even switched on the computer in front of Lingyuxiao to search online. As expected, the front page was filled with news about her and Lingyuxiao entering the hotel late at night.

"How can this be? I really didn't expect it to turn out like this. I did send you to the hotel to rest yesterday. Seeing that you were drunk, I was afraid that Li Xi would misunderstand and let you stay at a hotel. Nothing happened between us. I did leave the hotel early this morning, but I was resting in another room. I don't know why any reporters took these pictures. But believe me, I really don't know. " After reading the report, Li Xi's face was filled with innocence as she tried to explain to Lingyuxiao in a hurry.

Lingyuxiao looked at Gong Xiaotong with suspicion, but she couldn't tell if her expression was real or fake, causing him to be unsure of what to do next. While the two of them were in a confrontation, another person knocked on the door. Of course Gu Wei knew who she was, it was just that Lingyuxiao still did not know.
