The atmosphere immediately grew awkward. Everyone's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. Had he been slapped in the face?Nevertheless, Gu Jiuci underestimated how thick Jiang Yutang's skin was. He continued to approach her and even put on a pampering expression as he said, "Ci, it was all my fault in the past. Stop being unhappy with me, all right? We've been in a cold war for months. There should a time limit on punishments, right?"When Jiang Yutang got to the end, his tone became aggrieved and pitiful. Combined with his lying face, it successfully fooled the crowd. Some kindhearted staff members even helped Jiang Yutang to persuade Gu Jiuci."Ci, you should forgive him given how sincerely he has admitted to his mistakes!""That's right. If I had just a good boyfriend, I'd be happy to death."Another staff member immediately joined in to help.The situation was turning in Jiang Yutang's favor. Even if Gu Jiuci insisted that she wasn't Jiang Yutang's girlfriend at

"No, no, no, it's not what you think. I can explain!"Gu Jiuci felt like all the blood in her body had frozen. She wasn't afraid of anything, except for Huo Mingche's misunderstanding.When Jiang Yutang saw Huo Mingche appear, he was even more excited. He even looked at Huo Mingche provocatively and smugly said, "Huo Mingche, do you see? The person Ci likes is me. You're just a backup! Hahaha... Ah!"Before Jiang Yutang could finish speaking, he was kicked in the side by Qiao who had just come out. Gu Jiuci was being held by Jiang Yutang and lost her balance, falling down with him.Just as her body was about to have intimate contact with the ground, a pair of strong and slender hands grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace.Gu Jiuci met the man's brilliant eyes and suddenly felt very aggrieved. The moment she opened her mouth, it carried a teary tone."I really haven't done anything unworthy of you...""I know."The man's low voice abruptly rang out. There wasn't any anger,

Initially, the fans and gossipers didn't much believe it. After all, too many pieces of news relating to Gu Jiuci recently had been proven wrong.Before long, the gossipers found Jiang Yutang's Weibo and found that he had liked the posts from the marketing accounts. Without a doubt, this was a personal admission. Jiang Yutang's likes made the popularity of this piece of gossip rise to a new level.For a time, many people surged into Jiang Yutang's Weibo. His Weibo was mostly carefully edited photos and selfies flaunting his wealth.

He had earned a great deal of aff

Gu Jiuci's visit to the Huo home this time was under very different circumstances than her last visit.The moment she walked in, Mother Huo came toward her with a smile and warmly took her hand to lead her into the living room."Ci, I've solved the Rubik's Cube you gave me last time. It took an hour. Do you want to compete against me?"Gu Jiuci's eyes landed on their clasped hands and then turned to look at the devil standing alone by the door."Did Mother Huo forget the devil?"The man stood in the doorway for a few seconds. Seeing them settle down harmoniously on the couch to talk enthusiastically, his lips involuntarily turned up slightly. Not long ago, he thought he would never see this sight in his life.On the couch, Gu Jiuci quickly took out her phone."Aunty, a really fun detective app has been popular recently, and it's a true test for intelligence. I've only solved the second case. Do you want to try it?""Why are you calling me Aunty? Call me Mom!"Mother Huo purpos

Huo Meimei immediately stood and walked with her phone to Mother Huo. She handed her phone to Mother Huo to have a look and fanned the flames with ill intention from the side."Aunty, look. This is a gif. Although the man's face can't be seen clearly, no matter how you look at it, Gu Jiuci is hugging him of her own accord! That's disgusting!"Gu Jiuci had felt been very confused initially, but when she heard the words "of her own accord," she glanced unconsciously at Huo Mingche, just as his gaze turned toward her."Had there been someone present when I hugged the devil? So, someone had taken a photo of us without us knowing?""Ci, how could you do something like this?"Initially, Mother Huo didn't believe it, but after looking intently at the gif three times, she turned to Gu Jiuci with disappointment in her eyes.The trust she had worked hard to establish all collapsed at this moment."Mom, listen to me explain. That's actually a picture of...""Gu Jiuci, shut up! Any explana
