I gave the phone to Lisa and told her, "Lisa, Gao Kan just told me that he wants to publicize our relationship."

"What do you say?"

"I agree."

Lisa rejected him flatly, "No, this is not the time!"

"What's wrong?"

"Use your brain to think. Now that Gao Kan ignored the fact that Han Youya is married, and even brought her home, it seems like he has confirmed the rumours about himself and her. At this critical juncture, if the two of you announce your relationship, isn't it a crisis public relations matter? How long has it been since you last denied it, do you remember? "

I didn't agree with her words. "Lisa, you're really thinking too much.

"Xiao Yi, now is not the time to be emotional, although the entire matter is largely under control, and everyone is only doing this because you have explained it to Han Youya. If the relationship between you and Gao Kan were to become even more public, even if it was real, no one would believe it. Humans, once they feel fooled, have very hard to predict their ability to fight against the dark! "Also..." Lisa paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I think that might not even have the intention to publicize this idea."

"What do you mean?"

"I told Gao Kan about the two of you before, but he told me at that time that he would at least need to wait until you graduate or even if you succeed in your studies before making it public. He was afraid that you would become the target of SMP attacks, because the battle between him and Gao Junfeng was far from over. Revealing you would undoubtedly be a dangerous move, and it would also easily become his weakness. Do you understand what I mean? "

I shook my head.

"What if Han Youya suggested this to her for the sake of her own image? In any case, she knows that no one will believe your words, and on the contrary, you will fall into disagreement. The image that you built up with great difficulty will soon crumble again. "Two or three months ago you denied it, but now you admit that you have no credibility."

"

After Lisa said this, the depths of my heart started to waver, but I still denied it, "Lisa, you previously said that I was wrong about Su Jiawang, I denied it, and the facts proved that you were right. But Gao Kan is not that kind of person, he has always done things openly and honorably. Those methods of his, are definitely not meant to be used on me. "

Lisa sighed, she opened her mouth, but did not say anything more. After a long while, she finally said: "I hope I was overthinking it, because this matter, it is all reasonable, Director Gao made a mistake. In order to protect Han Youya, I will make you suffer, perhaps he just wanted to compensate you, he did not think that far. However, don't be rash. When we get there, we'll talk to Han Youya and then decide whether or not we should publicize it, hmm? "Remember your current identity and the path that you will walk in the future. Don't be willful."

"Yes."

-

There were many reporters waiting outside the gate. It was said that someone had directly slept on the floor and was waiting to see how Han Youya would respond since she was still at Gao Kan's house.

He even knew that she and Gao Kan had been good friends for many years, and even thanked Gao Kan for helping her take care of Han Youya.

-

After exiting the garage, the moment we entered the living room, Aunt Li ran over and took my arm, and said affectionately: "Miss Eyre, it's been a long time since you've been here, Mr. Gao has been talking about you. He told me that you like to eat stewed yellow chicken, and I consulted several chefs.

The Aunt Li had a pretty good impression of me, and treated me as Gao Kan's real girlfriend. But since we had met, I had already talked so much, and even spoke quite loudly, so I looked around in a somewhat distracted manner. As expected, I saw Han Youya sitting on the sofa in the side hall, with a leisurely attitude, watching the television.

She was thirty-four years old and had been well cared for. There was no makeup, no tattoos, and her skin was still as white as ever. There was no trace of the passage of time.

Her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and there were a few strands hanging in front of her forehead. She had the grace of an adult woman.

Especially with a sad expression, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, making me feel pity for her.

Gao Kan was sitting opposite to her, and it was unknown what the two of them were talking about. Although there was no smile on their faces, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Not in the least because I might come here.

Gao Kan was sitting with her back facing me, and didn't see me, instead, it was Han Youya who saw me immediately, but not only did she not make any reaction, she even covered her mouth with a tissue, frowned, and started coughing violently.

Gao Kan's reaction was very natural. He immediately took the trash can and placed it in front of her, and also stood up to retrieve the cup. Probably because he wanted to bring a cup of hot water to Han Youya, he turned around and saw me.

Our eyes met for a few seconds before he put the glass back on the table and walked over to me.

I stopped a few steps away from him, looked up, and when I got close enough, I saw his tired face, obviously with circles under his eyes, and the messy stubble of a man who stays up all night and never sleeps.

"Glittering …"

Gao Kan called out to me and extended his hand out. I don't know what was on my mind, but I instinctively took a few steps back and stayed away from him.

Along the way, he thought of the first words he would say after seeing him. However, as his lips moved, his throat seemed to be blocked, making it difficult for him to speak a single word.

In the next second, Gao Kan forcefully pulled me into his embrace, with one arm around my shoulders and the other around my waist.

He hugged me so tightly I could barely breathe.

-

The familiar feeling spread from his arm to my heart.

With a single breath, he could smell the suffocating smell of smoke coming off him.

But it was also at that moment that I felt at home, safe and dependent, and the tension of the last two days eased.

She subconsciously pushed him away and gave up struggling. She buried her head in his chest and tears started to flow out uncontrollably.

"Alright, stop crying. It's all my fault." Ignoring the fact that Aunt Li and Lisa were there, she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Her voice was very soft, the kind that only the two of us could hear, very softly saying, "Baby, I'm sorry."

As soon as his lips came close, my body shuddered, feeling even more wronged and stifled, and I almost cried out loud.

-

"Xiao Yi, you're finally back." Han Youya's voice suddenly resounded.

Only then did I return to reality, remembering where I was and who I was with.

On the way here, I had clearly warned myself countless times that I should stay away from Gao Kan. Before things had become clear, I should not have any sort of physical contact with him.

Thanks to Han Youya's words, I was able to escape from his gentle trap in time and regain some rationality.

When my consciousness cleared, I used all my strength to push Gao Kan's arms and chest. The more he hugged, the more wronged I became to push him away, until he was unable to pinch me and let go.
