Chapter 72: Chapter 72 She Really Left Her Behind...

"Mr. Gu, there’s suddenly a crowd of gossip reporters at the entrance. If you leave now, you’ll be surrounded. Please take the employee-only passage for a safe exit," the bodyguard reported as he leaned in.

Gu Moqian nodded, then held Ji Wei and walked toward another direction.

Before they had taken a few steps, a journalist outside the window suddenly recognized Gu Moqian’s silhouette and excitedly shouted, "Mr. Gu, it’s Mr. Gu! He’s inside the café!"

The other media reporters immediately erupted in excitement. Ignoring the security guards trying to stop them, they rushed into the café in droves.

However, Gu Moqian and his group had already quietly slipped away.

The crowd looked all around but could not find any trace of Gu Moqian. One by one, they appeared despondent yet unwilling to give up.

The second floor of the café.

Xiao Zhen had been chatting happily with Xia Duoduo when he suddenly sensed the commotion caused by the reporters downstairs. He leaned out to take a look.

Seeing the swarm of reporters below, Xiao Zhen’s expression instantly darkened.

Could his whereabouts have been discovered? Despite being so cautious, he still ended up exposed.

"Duoduo, there are paparazzi downstairs. I need to leave immediately," Xiao Zhen said hastily, standing up with a panicked expression.

Xiao Zhen’s towering height of over 1.8 meters made him instantly noticeable to the media below as soon as he stood.

"Look quickly, that person looks like Xiao Zhen!"

"Xiao Zhen! It’s Xiao Zhen! Hurry, he’s upstairs! Looks like he’s with a woman—go surround him now!"

A rookie idol singer meeting a woman in a café? This was absolutely explosive scandal material!

The reporters’ eyes lit up. The frustration of letting Gu Moqian slip away just moments ago vanished completely as they charged up to the second floor with renewed zeal.

Facing the swarm of reporters, Xiao Zhen fled in a hurry, leaving Xia Duoduo behind without a second thought. He immediately jumped down behind the café’s bar counter and darted into the staff-only door nearby.

Xia Duoduo was completely stunned, unable to process what had just happened.

One group of paparazzi trailed the route Xiao Zhen had escaped through, while the other group surrounded the dazed Xia Duoduo tightly.

Microphones and cameras pointed at Xia Duoduo’s pale face, and the flashlights made her furrow her brows.

"You’re the one who played the villainous supporting actress in ’The Legend of Xiangmi,’ right?"

"Were you just on a date with Xiao Zhen? When did you start seeing each other and how serious are you two now?"

"For a minor celebrity, how did you manage to catch Xiao Zhen’s attention? Did you use some kind of ploy to seduce him?"

"Miss Xia, please give us a direct answer to our questions!"

The reporters’ questions were sharp and aggressive. Xia Duoduo’s face grew paler and paler as she stood there helplessly, overwhelmed by the situation.

She was merely a minor celebrity and had never faced such an encirclement by reporters before. If it weren’t for Xiao Zhen, the media probably wouldn’t have paid her any attention at all.

Horrified, Xia Duoduo glanced around desperately, clutching at the faint hope inside her.

If Xiao Zhen worried about her and came back for her, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Her anxious gaze suddenly locked onto the window, and just like that, the tiny glimmer of hope was extinguished.

She saw Xiao Zhen’s figure hurriedly slide into a nanny van by the roadside. Moments later, the vehicle started and disappeared down the street in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Zhen really left her behind...

Xia Duoduo couldn’t quite describe her emotions at that moment. She stood there completely still, refusing to say a word no matter how the reporters pressed her.

Yet her eyes turned red despite her efforts to suppress it.

Meanwhile, Gu Moqian had already gotten Ji Wei into the car.

Sitting inside, Gu Moqian noticed the look of disappointment on Ji Wei’s face and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter? Are you feeling regretful for not being able to witness someone else’s date?"

"I was planning on keeping an eye out for Duoduo, to see if that Xiao Zhen guy is trustworthy, but—" Ji Wei spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.

"So, your way of ’keeping an eye out’ involved hiding under someone else’s table?"

Gu Moqian couldn’t help but tease.
