Chapter 92: Innocent
Jiang Yichen's expression became more and more ugly, and he stared at me closely, as if he wanted to eat me up.
I just ignored him.
The punishment was over and the game continued. Everyone present seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and were deliberately targeting me.
This time I chose the truth.
As soon as the voice fell, Xiaoyu asked first: "Gu Mo, how many men have you slept with?"
His question was sharp and immediately attracted the attention of others present.
A group of people looked at me as if they were watching a show.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for my answer, I subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yichen and said with a bit of rejection in my tone: "This is my privacy. I don't want to answer this question."
Seeing me say that, Xiaoyu laughed at me, "Gu Mo, we are just playing games. Why can't you let go at all? You are like an antique from the Qing Dynasty."
With her taking the lead, others also started to mock me.
"Yeah, it's just answering a question, it's no big deal."
"We are all colleagues, what's wrong with that? Is it because you have too many personal connections?"
Everyone was talking at once, and it was obvious that they were not going to let me go.
Xiaoyu also continued, "Yes, as a host you should be bold and have fun, otherwise how can you improve your performance?"
As she spoke, she looked at him with contempt and sneered, "Oh, I forgot, you have never won first place in performance, now I know why."
I didn't want to respond to her sarcasm.
I just kept comforting myself in my heart that all the money I earned was clean money from the beginning to the end.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xiaoyu kept asking, "Gu Mo, if you lost, just tell me now, don't waste everyone's time."
Xiaoyu kept urging me, as if he would not give up until I answered.
Seeing this, Lin Nan pretended to smooth things over.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, since Gu Mo doesn't want to, then forget it."
I was a little surprised by Lin Nan's behavior, and looked at her with some doubt in my eyes.
I don't believe she would be so kind.
Sure enough, in the next second, she deliberately brought it up in front of everyone: "Everyone knows that Song Le has Gu Mo in his heart. Isn't it normal for Gu Mo to be with him? Xiaoyu, don't force her anymore."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly.
I knew that Lin Nan was saying this just to let Jiang Yichen hear it, so I immediately retorted: "Song Leqing and I are innocent, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Nan sneered and asked, "If you really didn't pay anything, why would Song Le help you for no reason?"
Before I could answer, she added, "Besides, you broke off the engagement with Song Le before."
Lin Nan's questions pushed me into a dead end.
No matter what I say, no one else will believe me.
I also know that Song Le helped me time and again because he had me in his heart.
But I never had any feelings for him other than friendship.
When I thought about this, I couldn't help but pause for a few seconds.
But Jiang Yichen seemed to have misunderstood my reaction.
His face turned cold almost instantly, and he put the wine glass heavily on the table. The look in his eyes when he looked at me became even colder, as if he wanted to tear me to pieces.
Sensing Jiang Yichen's strange mood, Lin Nan pretended to cover his mouth and quickly tried to make amends.
"Forget it, forget it. Gu Mo is single now. It's her freedom to be with whomever she wants."
Lin Nan's words were full of guidance.
Obviously she just wanted everyone else to think that I was indeed with Song Le.
Just as he was about to explain, Lin Nan deliberately changed the subject, "Okay, let's not discuss this. Today is my birthday, let's cut the cake."
She deliberately changed the subject, leaving me no chance to explain myself.
The waiter pushed the cake into the box, and a group of people instantly surrounded Lin Nan.
Lin Nan put on a birthday hat, lit the candles, and others sang birthday songs for her.
After the music ended, before blowing out the candles, Lin Nan looked at me deliberately, raised his voice deliberately, and made a wish loudly.
"I hope Yichen and I can have a beautiful and healthy baby this year."
Hearing her wish, the others started to make a fuss again.
"Don't worry, Assistant Lin, you will definitely be happy with President Jiang."
"With your genes, the baby will definitely be super beautiful."
After she made her wish, Jiang Yichen took out the birthday gift he had prepared.
He handed over an exquisitely packaged brocade box, which contained an expensive jade bracelet.
Under the reflection of the light, the bracelet glowed green.
The others couldn't help but envy the gifts when they saw them.
"Boss Jiang, this looks very valuable."
"Assistant Lin, please try it on and see."
Lin Nan put the bracelet on her hand shyly, and then thanked him softly, "Thank you, Yichen. I like it very much."
After Jiang Yichen gave out his gifts, the rest of the people took out their gifts, except me.
I came here at the last minute and had no time to prepare at all.
Seeing that I had nothing in my hands, someone next to me started criticizing me.
"Gu Mo, what do you mean by coming empty-handed to someone else's birthday? Is the Gu family already so poor?"
The rest of the people also started criticizing me.
"This is the first time I've seen someone celebrate someone's birthday without preparing anything."
"This gift doesn't need to be something expensive, Gu Mo, you don't even have the slightest thought for it."
I knew I was in the wrong, so I stammered, "I came too hastily today, I'll make it up tomorrow."
After hearing my answer, the others looked at me with disdain.
I was suddenly at a loss and didn't know what to do.
But Lin Nan smiled and replied, "It's okay, no need to make up for it. Everyone is happy today. Why don't you pick a love song for me as a birthday gift."
Even though I knew Lin Nan was setting a trap for me on purpose, I couldn't refuse.
I scanned the opposite sex present.
All the anchors avoided me and didn't even want to look at me.
I also know that they will not help me in this situation.
I looked at Jiang Yichen for help, but he didn't respond at all.
Knowing that he wouldn't help me, I could only place my last hope on Lao Mo.
Noticing my gaze, Lao Mo felt helpless but had to go ahead.
After watching me make my choice, Lin Nan continued to cheer me on, "Since you have made your choice, let's get started."
As soon as she finished speaking, she played a song for both of us.
Afraid that we would refuse, he forcefully put the microphone in our hands.
We were pulled up, and the others continued to play games, talking and laughing.
When the music started, I had no choice but to passively start singing a duet with Lao Mo.
At first, we both felt a little awkward and kept singing out of tune.
Those people were having so much fun that they didn't care what we sang at all.
When I sang the final part, I realized they didn't care, and I suddenly felt relieved.
After relaxing, Lao Mo and I cooperated better and better.
But when I was singing enthusiastically, I always felt a cold gaze behind me.
