Chapter 179: Fighting in the Arena
Chi Xuan looked at him expressionlessly, "What good would it do me to abort the child?"
Huo Tianyi sneered, "There's no benefit, but if you keep this child, you will definitely regret it!"
"Whether you regret it or not is my business. If you dare to touch him, I will definitely tell Mrs. Huo!"
Huo Tianyi's expression turned extremely gloomy, and he stared at Chi Xuan with an eyes that seemed to want to eat her.
"Chi Xuan, you are really great!"
Chi Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at him coldly.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Tianyi stood up and left.
The suffocating coldness in the box dissipated, and Chi Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She subconsciously touched her belly. This child was her biggest bargaining chip, and she had to give birth to it!
After sitting in the box for a while, Chi Xuan stood up and prepared to leave. As she reached the door, she noticed Chi Muzhen and Shi Yiheng walking out of the box opposite together.
The two were chatting, so they didn't notice her.
Chi Xuan subconsciously retreated back to the box and closed the door, leaving only a crack. Seeing Chi Muzhen and Shi Yiheng leaving together, she took out her cell phone and quickly took a few photos.
She originally planned to send it to Huo Yunting, but suddenly changed her mind the moment she sent it.
She put away her phone, a sneer on her face.
The next morning, the news that actor Shi Yiheng was in a relationship became a hot topic.
The whistleblower not only has photos, but also videos.
In the video, Shi Yiheng took good care of Chi Muzhen. Although Chi Muzhen was blurred, Shi Yiheng's face was clearly visible.
This news immediately set the Internet on fire, and almost everyone was paying attention to it. The saddest people were undoubtedly Shi Yiheng's fans.
"Oh my god, I'm having a cardiac arrest. After all these years since his debut, paparazzi have never taken a picture of him having dinner with a woman. I originally thought he didn't like women, but now it seems I was too naive!"
"Wow... I feel like I'm eating with my brother too... I'm so envious. What kind of woman would be liked by my brother? She must have saved the galaxy in her past life!"
"We must find out whoever stole our brother! Our brother belongs to all of us!"
…
The debate on the Internet was in full swing, but the protagonist Chi Muzhen knew nothing about it.
As soon as she got up, she saw more than a dozen sweet calls on her phone, and she frowned unconsciously.
Just as I was about to call back, Shen Tian’s call came in again.
"Tiantian, what's wrong?"
"Did you have dinner with Shi Yiheng last night?!"
Chi Muzhen was a little confused as to how she knew, "Well, what's wrong?"
"You and Shi Yiheng were photographed and posted online. Although the paparazzi censored your photos, rumors are spreading like wildfire that Shi Yiheng is in a relationship, and everyone is trying to figure out who was having dinner with him."
Chi Muzhen had worked as a manager before and knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly said, "I understand. Let's leave it that way for now."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen immediately called Shi Yiheng.
The call was quickly connected, and Shi Yiheng's somewhat tired voice came over.
"Mu Zhen, I saw the news online. Don't worry about it. I will handle it."
“How does your company plan to deal with this?”
After a few seconds of silence, Shi Yiheng finally spoke: "The company decided to clarify that we were just friends first, and then let my agent post on Weibo saying that she was there at the time."
This is the simplest and most effective way to deal with it.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen got up, washed up and went downstairs. She saw Huo Yunting sitting on the sofa with a cold expression and a tense jaw. He was obviously in a bad mood.
Chi Muzhen walked over to sit next to him, pursed her lips and said, "I can explain what happened last night."
Huo Yunting's icy gaze finally fell on her, like an extremely deep and cold pond, cold to the extreme.
"Chi Muzhen, you asked me to keep my distance from Chi Xuan, but what about you and Shi Yiheng?"
Chi Muzhen frowned, "This is different. Nothing will happen between me and Shi Yiheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting sneered.
"So you don't trust me, and you're asking me to trust you, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Yunting interrupted her coldly.
"No need to explain. I won't ask about this matter again. Just pretend nothing happened."
After saying that, Huo Yunting stood up and left.
Chi Muzhen looked at his back, hesitated for a few seconds, and then chased after him, stopping him when she was about to get into the car.
"Shi Yiheng asked me out for dinner last night. He just wanted to thank me for saving him."
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. He looked into her eyes and spoke slowly, "If that's the only reason, why didn't you tell me you were having dinner with him when you called me?"
The other party's questioning look made Chi Muzhen frown unconsciously, "I'm afraid you misunderstood. After all, you had a lot of opinions about Shi Yiheng before."
"So if the paparazzi take my picture and it becomes a trending topic, I won't misunderstand you?"
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else and got into the car and left.
All day long, Chi Muzhen was a little absent-minded while working. Shen Tian noticed her distraction and went straight to her office to find her when she got off work.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you today? You've been distracted the whole time. Is it because of the incident where you were photographed having dinner with Shi Yiheng yesterday?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, sighed and said, "It's because of this matter, but it's not because of this matter."
Shen Tian looked confused, "Why don't I understand what you are saying?"
"I kept the fact that I had dinner with Shi Yiheng yesterday a secret from Huo Yunting. I didn't expect it to be filmed and posted online."
Shen Tian: “…”
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Tian couldn't help but say, "Why did you hide the fact that you were having dinner with Shi Yiheng from Huo Yunting? If it were me, I would also misunderstand."
"He always felt that Shi Yiheng had bad intentions towards me, so he didn't want me to have any contact with Shi Yiheng. But I only regarded Shi Yiheng as a friend, and I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to misunderstand."
Shen Tian looked at her speechlessly, "You are so decisive at work, why are you so stupid in love? If Huo Yunting had dinner with Chi Xuan in private, would you be angry?"
Chi Muzhen glanced at her and said with a headache, "There's no point in pursuing this matter now. How can I make him calm down?"
"Give him a sincere apology and try to comfort him. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions."
After Shen Tian left, Chi Muzhen thought for a while and called Huo Yunting.
After calling several times, Huo Yunting finally answered the phone, and his voice was extremely cold.
"What's up?"
"Well, when you get off work, I'll come find you."
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting's cold voice came.
"I have to work overtime tonight, so it might be very late. If you have anything to say, just tell me over the phone."
"I'll go over and tell you in person."
After saying this, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone without giving Huo Yunting a chance to refuse.
Half an hour later, Chi Muzhen arrived downstairs at Huo's building. As soon as she walked into the lobby, she saw Ke Ning standing at the front desk.
Ke Ning also noticed her and hurried forward, "Miss Chi, the president is in a meeting, let me take you upstairs first."
After bringing Chi Muzhen to Huo Yunting's office, Ke Ning poured her a glass of water and went to work.
Chi Muzhen waited for more than two hours and was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back before Huo Yunting's meeting ended.
When he opened the door and saw Chi Muzhen sitting on the sofa, he paused, walked over to sit opposite Chi Muzhen, and said coldly: "What do you want to tell me?"
