The words “jealousy” explosively echoed in Xia Yangyang’s mind.

It was as if she had a sudden realization, like an enlightening moment.

Xia Yangyang had always thought that it was Gu Qjchen’s distrust that made her feel uncomfortable.

But Gu Qjchen did not distrust her, he just didn’t trust her as unconditionally as he trusted Shen Manbing.

The trust Gu Qjchen offered came with conditions attached.

Gu Qichen felt that she lacked the capability, the audacity.

But he didn’t understand her character, did not know her limits.

However, when it came to Shen Manbing, it was different.

Gu Qichen’s trust in Shen Manbing mirrored that of Shen Shichuan’s, it was unconditional, based on mutual understanding and accord.

This only intensified the discomfort in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Even though they were not lovers, there was an invulnerable space between them in which she didn’t dare to intrude.

Xia Yangyang didn’t care whether she was framed by Shen Manbing or not.

What she cared about was Gu Qjchen’s unconditional understanding and trust in Shen Manbing.

In the end, she was simply jealous.

Yes, extremely jealous.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yangyang laid on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

So what if she was jealous?

There was nothing she could do about it.

It was the accumulation of their feelings over the years.

Xia Yangyang buried her head in the quilt, desiring to cry out her distress.

The next day, Xia Yangyang went to the office.

That morning at nine, she was scheduled for an interview with an entertainment morning newspaper.

After Xia Yangyang entered the elevator, a man wearing a duckbill cap and holding a toolbox stepped in just as the doors were about to close.

Only employees of Time International Building could use the elevator, and they had to use their work card.

This was because Time was an entertainment company with countless celebrities.

To prevent harassment from journalists and fans, the rules were strictly enforced.

From her first engagement, Xia Yangyang also had a staff card.

The man stood in the corner without moving.

Xia Yangyang found it somewhat strange: “Where’s your card? You need to scan your card to select the floors.”

The man’s voice was low: “Can you help me select the 26th floor? I’m here to repair the pipes.”

Funnily enough, Xia Yangyang was also headed to the 26th floor.

The 26th floor here was artist studios.

All Time’s artists operated in the studio system, and the 26th floor was filled with lounges for the artists to rest and do makeup when they came back to the office.

The interview that day was special.

It was for a magazine called “Star Family”, which focused more on the everyday lives and personal relationships of celebrities.

At nine, Xia Yangyang, with her makeup done, was prompt to arrive.

Upon entering the interview hall, Xia Yangyang seemed taken aback.

Because, sitting on the guest seat right now, if not Gu Qjchen, then who could it be?

Previously, when Shichuan arranged for work, Xia Yangyang thought it was just a small interview.

She had no idea that Gu Qjchen would be participating too.

The journalists were enthusiastically snapping pictures of Gu Qjchen.

Gu Qichen was indifferent, casually flipping through the interview manuscript and chatting with the host.

Seeing Xia Yangyang’s arrival, he stood up and started walking naturally in her direction.

In fact, the moment she saw Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang understood everything.

Presumably, the meddler Shen Shichuan, via this interview, wanted to offer her an opportunity to have a proper conversation with Gu Qjchen.

Honestly, Xia Yangyang has been very busy these days, so has Gu Qjchen.

Xia Yangyang knew that she was avoiding, but now avoidance was impossible.

Xia Yangyang took the initiative: “Why are you here?”

A trace of amusement prevailed on Gu Qjchen’s face, but his voice was very low: “Mrs. Gu, you’ve not been home for half a month, why wouldn’t I be here?”

Indeed, Xia Yangyang hadn’t returned home in half a month. Shen Shichuan had arranged an apartment for her to rest in the office, and Xia Yangyang had simply moved all her suitcases there.

Gu Qichen’s voice was very low with a shade of coldness, yet his face was alight with a hint of amusement.

Outsiders couldn’t hear what they were talking about and felt they were whispering sweet nothings.

“I’m working.”

“Fine, then I’ll accompany you at work today.”
