Yan Luoheng smiled and nodded, saying, "With Mrs. Qi's words, I am truly relieved."

Qi Jincheng gently grasped Qiao Xi's hand and said softly to her, "Xi'er, you go back first."

Having said all that, there's really nothing more to say.

Qiao Xi suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you."

After watching Qiao Xi's figure leave, Qi Jincheng's gentleness towards her vanished, and his face instantly darkened.

Unmoved, Yan Luoheng asked, "Mr. Qi, is there something you want to say to me?"

Qi Jincheng coldly warned him without leaving any room for negotiation, "What you and Jun Jiuge do is none of my business. Stay away from Xi'er."

Yan Luoheng was both amused and exasperated, and said innocently, "President Qi, you've really wronged me. It was clearly Mrs. Qi who approached me first."

"You understand what I mean." Qi Jincheng didn't want to say anything more; he understood what he needed to understand.

Yan Luoheng sighed heavily and said helplessly, "President Qi, how about you help me find my things, and I'll leave Beijing with my woman?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jincheng's expression darkened further. Yan Luoheng wisely retracted his words, waved to him with a smile, and left first.

Qiao Xi waited anxiously in the auditorium, where dancing had already begun. In just a short while, she had already turned down several dance partners who invited her to dance.

Zhong Hanjie didn't miss the opportunity to invite Qiao Xi over a thousand times, but Qiao Xi still politely declined.

However, he was very persistent. Even though Qiao Xi disagreed, he kept inviting her to dance with him.

During those few minutes of persistent pleading, Qiao Xi was almost killed by the stares from the other girls. If it weren't for Li Xiaoxiao helping her shield herself from some of them, she really would have been killed by those gazes.

The key is that Zhong Hanjie just won't leave no matter what she does; he's like a piece of chewing gum stuck to her.

Finally, Qi Jincheng returned, and Qiao Xi rushed towards him as if she had seen a savior.

Seeing this, Zhong Hanjie's jealousy immediately flared up. He had wanted to see the man's true colors earlier, and this time he was determined not to let it go. He wanted to see if this man had the charm to attract his goddess.

Zhong Hanjie arrived in front of Qi Jincheng with lightning speed, and while Qi Jincheng and Qiao Xi were both on guard, he swiftly and decisively removed Qi Jincheng's mask.

He was also the first to recognize Qi Jincheng and shout out, "Qi...Qi Jincheng?!"

His shout drew all eyes to him, giving Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng no time to react.

After a deathly silence, someone finally reacted, "Qi Jincheng is here!"

Without her even calling out, everyone saw Qi Jincheng, and the large group surged over instantly, with some shouting, "Is it really President Qi?"

"He actually came to our welcome party!"

"Let's go there quickly."

Li Xiaoxiao stood not far from them. Her reaction was obviously not as fast as the others, but fortunately she had the geographical advantage, so she was the first to reach Qiao Xi.

Her face was filled not only with surprise, but also with disbelief and incredulity. "Qiao Xi, you and Qi Jincheng..."

“We…” Qiao Xi’s heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, each beat faster than the last.

Surrounded by so many people, her mind went blank for a moment. Even after she quickly came to her senses, she still didn't know how to handle the situation.

Qi Jincheng, however, calmly put his arm around Qiao Xi's waist amidst the many questioning gazes, and looked deeply into her eyes with a slight smile, saying, "We are a legally married couple."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi's eyes widened suddenly, but under these circumstances, she couldn't deny it anymore; she had already been discovered.

When Li Xiaoxiao heard this, her jaw almost dropped, and she remained with her mouth agape for a long time, as did the onlookers.

After a long while, Li Xiaoxiao repeated with trembling lips, "A legal...married couple?"

The answer was yes, and Qiao Xi had no reason to deny it, so she could only smile and acknowledge her.

Li Xiaoxiao could tell whether it was true or false just by looking at Qiao Xi's reaction, but she was clearly a little unable to accept it. "I didn't, did you hear me wrong?"

Now that things have come to this, Qiao Xi can only face it calmly. She took Qi Jincheng's arm and told Li Xiaoxiao frankly, "You heard me right, we are a legally married couple."

After saying that, Qiao Xi took a deep breath. To be honest, she wasn't really prepared. She was forced into this situation and had no other choice.

Perhaps even Heaven wants their relationship to be made public. In that case, she should go with the flow.

After calming herself down a bit, Qiao Xi took Qi Jincheng's arm and walked onto the stage. Under everyone's gaze, Qiao Xi directly picked up the microphone from the principal's speech.

The entire auditorium fell into a deathly silence once again. Those with sharp eyes had just noticed that Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng were actually wearing matching outfits, though it wasn't very obvious!

After taking another deep breath, Qiao Xi grasped Qi Jincheng's hand tightly and announced in front of everyone, "Classmates, I think I might need to reintroduce myself."

"I am Qiao Xi, and I am also the wife of Qi Jincheng, the president of Dihua Group. We... got our marriage certificate a month ago."

After the words were spoken, the auditorium remained silent. After some time, someone whispered in doubt, "Qiao Xi is the president's wife of the Dihua Group?"

Although the girl's voice was very soft, the place was so quiet that everyone who needed to hear it did.

Once she started, everyone else began to question, "Did I hear that right?"

"Are she and Qi Jincheng married?"

"Isn't Qi Jincheng's wife the heir of the Jinghua family? How could she be Qiao Xi?"

More and more doubts began to emerge in Qiao Xi's ears, which was something she had expected.

Qi Jincheng held her hand tightly, seemingly to encourage her. He appeared very calm, but a closer look revealed that he was still a little nervous.

Logically, Qi Jincheng, who was used to the world, shouldn't have acted this way, but this moment was very meaningful to him because it was Qiao Xi who led him onto the stage, and it was she who took the initiative to let them stand on the stage.

"Qiao Xi is the heir of the Jinghua family. Her maternal grandfather was the founder of the Jinghua family, Bai Zhanwang, Chairman Bai."

"How could that be?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Qiao Xi's eyes and tone were exceptionally firm, "That's right, I am the heir of the Jinghua family and the wife of the president of the Dihua Group."

The facts are right in front of them; they can't help but believe them. Regardless of whether Qiao Xi gives a definite answer, the result will be the same.

Who could possibly stand hand in hand with the president of Dihua Group on stage? Unless he has a new love interest, but that's impossible.
