She glowered at Tang Hongbo, and then shouted fiercely.

Tang Hongbo laughed.

"So ugly." Chen Xi looked at herself in the mirror.

Chen Xi suddenly felt that the air in the carriage was sweet, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Since when did you become so glib, aren't you afraid of destroying your domineering and indifferent CEO's plans?"

"Why are you so cold to your wife?" Tang Hongbo was not stingy with his words.

Chen Xi no longer bothered with him.

"Xi Xi, you're not nervous, right?" After a moment of silence, Tang Hongbo asked softly.

Chen Xi was startled, as if she was really not nervous anymore. She looked at Tang Hongbo with gratitude.

"If you're ready, we'll get out of the car, okay?" Tang Hongbo pulled her hand and asked.

Chen Xi smiled at him, as if he was encouraging himself.

"I'm ready. Let's go." Yes, she was ready. No matter what was in front of her, no matter what the reporters asked, she believed that as long as he was there, everything could be settled.

At this moment, she wanted to give herself to him peacefully.

Tang Hongbo gave her one last gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Don't be afraid, hold my hand tightly." Then he reached out and pulled open the fender of the car seat and said to the driver.

"Open the door."

The car door was heavily opened by the bodyguard blocking the entrance.

Tang Hongbo tightly held onto her hand, and then gently pulled her down from the carriage.

Tang Hongbo, who was dressed in a tailored black suit carried a powerful aura, and was so handsome that he was inhumane.

Her body was as thin as a willow branch, and her face was painted in makeup, as well as her hair that was casually tied up. Because of the kiss just now, a few strands of hair fell from her ear, causing the originally beautiful Chen Xi to appear even more dazzling, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

The appearance of these two people was breathtaking. They were so beautiful that they even forgot to breathe. After a few seconds of silence, they all started to boil.

Especially when she saw Tang Hongbo's hand holding onto Chen Xi tightly.

"Boss Tang Judge, may I ask what is your relationship with Miss Chen Xi? Is she just a designer in your company? Are there any other identities? "

"Boss Tang, are you dating Miss Chen Xi?"

"How long have you been dating?"

"Miss Chen Xi, did you do it intentionally or did you do it just to win everyone's attention?"

….

The reporters were all holding their microphones as they fought to be the first to ask the same question.

But Chen Xi just firmly held onto Tang Hongbo's hand, and the warmth of his palm also seemed to have given her courage and strength.

She did not lower her head lowly to her chest, but instead snuggled against Tang Hongbo's side with a gentle and generous smile.

As for Tang Hongbo, he held her in one hand and lightly embraced her shoulders in the other. He helped protect her and the security guards at the door from those reporters who wanted to get close to her.

"You did well." Tang Hongbo lowered his head slightly and said gently into her ear.

This scene just happened to be recorded by the reporter's camera. Tang Hongbo's smiling eyes were filled with deep emotions and doting, and he also looked at Chen Xi who looked bashful as he quietly muttered to him.

Duan Wenyu did not know that the company would hold a press conference today, so when she saw from afar that Chen Xi was being protected by Tang Hongbo who was walking closer and closer, she could not help but clench her teeth.

A tinge of nervousness suddenly flashed through her eyes. Could it be that she had already told Tang Hongbo?

No, no, the tape was gone, and even if she had, he wouldn't have believed her.

Duan Wenyu comforted herself.

She steadied her emotions and walked toward them with a smile. She would find out whether it was true if it was just a test.

The gossipy reporters were blocked outside by the security guards, while Tang Hongbo had already dragged Chen Xi into the company's main hall.

"CEO, the press conference starts at ten. It's still early, do you want to go up?" Secretary Wang asked from the right.

"No need, let's go back to the office first." Tang Hongbo replied in a low voice.

Duan Wenyu walked over and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Hongbo, you're here." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xi intentionally or not.

"Yes." Tang Hongbo nodded, seeing that she did not have any intention to leave, he could not help but frown and ask.

"Is there anything else?"

"Why didn't I know that the company had a press conference today?" Duan Wenyu asked.

"Designer Duan, does the CEO need to report to you for anything?" Chen Xi suddenly said coldly.

Duan Wenyu glanced at the two of their hands, a trace of hatred flashed past her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Of course, I mean if there's anything I can help you with, you have to tell me." Duan Wenyu pretended to be relaxed.

"No need." After Tang Hongbo finished speaking, he pulled Chen Xi away from her.

Duan Wen gazed at their backs, her heart filled with hatred, but even more of it was desolation. Could it be that it was difficult for him to even speak to her or even glance at her?

Thinking about the past, she suddenly felt like she was in a dream. Once she woke up from a dream, she could recover to her original state, so she wanted to wake up quickly. However, she knew in her heart that this dream would probably never wake up again.

This was reality, a naked reality. She might have realized it a long time ago, he had already stopped loving her. It was just that she was unable to accept it in her heart.

She couldn't accept that the man she loved since she was young liked someone she didn't like. Perhaps she wasn't willing to accept that either.

But no matter what it was, the person she hated, was someone who wanted Chen Xi to disappear and leave.

Because of this, she made one mistake after another, sinking deep into her dreams and unable to extricate herself.

If time could be reversed, she would not be so willful.

Chen Xi knew what Duan Wenyu wanted to do by stopping them. She wanted to test her reactions.

It seemed like her accident last night was definitely not an accident, and it must be related to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm and collected.

She must have known that she had lost her recording and guessed that she wouldn't tell Tang Hongbo, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Before meeting Duan Wenyu, she had still been thinking, and was even unwilling to believe that the events of last night had anything to do with her, but why did she have to do that?

It turned out that she had already taken her tolerance towards her to be a natural cowardice. Since she no longer had a trace of kindness to speak of, why should she continue tolerating her?

Chen Xi followed Tang Hongbo to his office. The moment she entered, she saw the youth from last night, Ah Mu.

In fact, looking at Ah Mu made her feel a bit more at ease. Perhaps it was because his eyes were as clear as lake water, but it seemed like he wasn't contaminated by this society at all.

"Xi Xi, in the future, I will have Ah Mu follow by your side and protect you well." Tang Hongbo released her and said softly.

"Ah, no, I don't think so." Chen Xi said with some difficulty.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking him to secretly follow you. From today onwards, she will be your apprentice assistant." Tang Hongbo said.

"Apprentice intern? Then what about Qi Qi? You can't just fire her, can you? " Chen Xi's expression froze.

"What are you thinking about? Of course not, designer Chen is very serious and responsible. As your superior, is there any problem in giving you two assistants?" Tang Hongbo said in all seriousness.

Chen Xi could not help but laugh, and think that he was speaking the truth.

"But why do I feel like I'm hiring a child labourer?" Chen Xi looked at Ah Mu who looked like a minor.

"Madam, I'm twenty years old this year." Ah Mu said expressionlessly.

"This, this name is too strange, Ah Mu, you should call me sister." Chen Xi frowned.

"Ah Mu would not dare." Ah Mu lowered his head and replied seriously.

"What do you mean you don't dare? If I say I dare, I dare. " Chen Xi said somewhat angrily.

Ah Mu looked at Tang Hongbo with difficulty.

"What should we see him do? Aren't you my assistant? " Chen Xi pretended to be evil.

Tang Hongbo shook his head and laughed helplessly.

"Entering the scene pretty quickly, Ah Mu will listen to Madam."

"Yes." Ah Mu nodded his head before speaking to Chen Xi with some awkwardness.

"Sis, Sis ~"

"Yeah, that's more like it." Chen Xi laughed with satisfaction.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Tang Hongbo said as he looked at Secretary Wang and continued.

"Secretary Wang, go to the surveillance room with Ah Mu and watch the surveillance footage. Don't let any of them go."

"Alright." Secretary Wang immediately followed Ah Mu out.

Tang Hongbo looked at Chen Xi and said softly.

"Xi Xi, during the press conference later on, no matter what I say, you just need to smile or nod, okay?" Tang Hongbo instructed.

Chen Xi nodded. She admitted that in the end, she still decided to leave the matter to him because she trusted him, and because she believed that he could handle it well.

From the initial fear and nervousness to the present peace of mind, every step he took would always be accompanied by him.

She had thought she could forget about everything here, including him, but now she knew that even if she forgot about the whole world, she wouldn't forget about him.

This man who had once been like a demon had now become the sun of her life. She didn't want to think about whether he had lied to her three years ago, because it didn't matter anymore.

It was just like how he already knew her identity, yet he had never asked because it was no longer important.

"Understood. In the end, I still have to hide behind you." Chen Xi pretended to be relaxed.

"What's wrong with that? Helping you protect you from the elements is my responsibility." Tang Hongbo said softly.

"You make me feel so powerless and failed, so what if you are Chen Xi?" Chen Xi muttered to herself indifferently.

"Who said that if you haven't done anything yet, then …"

Tang Hongbo deliberately paused.
