Chapter 124: The couple that quarrels before bedtime will reconcile before the end of the bed.

An Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Scandalous news?

Oh no, could it be that the time she was at the bar with Shen Yufeng... someone secretly took photos!

Please no!

A bunch of women suddenly crowded around Gu Xiaobei’s desk and saw the latest news update displayed on her computer screen—

Yu Zimo read out softly:

"Early this morning, someone in country M captured Shen Yufeng, the CEO of the Star Intercontinental Corporation, and a mysterious woman entering and leaving a resort hotel, one after the other. Reportedly, the mysterious woman is Sang Yunong, the daughter of the owner of Jiahua Real Estate Developer, Sang Xingguo. They left the hotel one after the other in the early morning. Although they staggered their exit timings, they were eventually photographed getting into the same car..."

At that moment, An Xiaoyu felt as if a heavy hammer had brutally struck her chest.

A suffocating pain.

So it turned out that Shen Yufeng hadn’t bothered to call her these past two days because... he had the company of a beautiful woman!

She had been anxiously worrying over these two days, yet afraid to disturb him, and didn’t dare to call. Now thinking about it, all her thoughts... were really quite laughable!

An Xiaoyu tugged at the corner of her mouth, chuckled at herself mockingly, and then continued to work on the design drawings.

Gu Xiaobei sat there beating her chest and stamping her feet.

"Oh my God, my idol!"

"Oh dear oh dear, Xiaobei, the paparazzi nowadays are good at making wild guesses! It’s just staying at the same hotel, and it’s not like your God and that Yunong person stayed in the same room!"

Yu Zimo comforted her.

Gu Xiaobei became even more dejected.

"Is there a difference?"

"Alright, alright, you women should stop indulging in unrealistic fantasies." At this moment, Ling Zenan, who was sitting on the side, spoke up: "Men have their desires too. Shen Yufeng is a man, and a man always has those needs, right? For so many years, Shen Yufeng hasn’t been involved in any scandal with a woman. Now suddenly there’s a rumor; what does it signify? That Sang Yunong is the daughter of a real estate tycoon. From a man’s perspective, I suspect that there might be a potential marriage alliance between the two families!"

Involuntarily, An Xiaoyu’s pen slid, leaving a heavy mark on the drawing.

A marriage alliance?

Her head began to ache, An Xiaoyu picked up the drawing, crumpled it up, and tossed it into the trash bin.

"Xiaoyu, why do you look so pale?"

During lunch, Mo Qianqian noticed that An Xiaoyu seemed a bit absent-minded.

"Ah, maybe I didn’t sleep well last night!"

Indeed, she hadn’t slept well at all last night, barely dozing off and then waking up shortly after, only to stare at the ceiling and count sheep.

But now it seems that all her worries were nothing but a joke.

Yu Zimo laughed and said:

"Did Xiaoyu have another disagreement with your boyfriend? Oh my, this is very normal, which couple doesn’t argue? It’s said that couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot, just have a good argument tonight and everything will be fine tomorrow!"

They teased her jovially, trying to cheer her up, while An Xiaoyu managed a smile, going along with their kind intentions.

All day long, An Xiaoyu was somewhat dazed.

She finally made it to the end of the workday, and everyone else had left, with An Xiaoyu being the last one to go.

By then, the sky had darkened, and it had started to rain outside.

As she crossed the intersection, she absent-mindedly proceeded forward even though the light was red.

Suddenly, a car came hurtling towards her, and it seemed too late to brake.

An Xiaoyu was blinded by the headlights and couldn’t see anything; before she could regain her senses, a pair of arms enveloped her, and they both tumbled to the ground, narrowly escaping the oncoming car.

An Xiaoyu was pushed aside, and as she turned her head, she saw an umbrella fall to the ground, and there, Chu Mucheng lay on the ground.
