Gong Chengjue turned his head and glanced at her. "What?"
"Oh, it's nothing, you go ahead with your work." Su Ziqing looked at the photo. How come she was in it too?
She checked several news apps and found that they were all headlines...
I wonder if she's overthinking it, feeling that releasing these photos might have some impact.
Although the news reports still only mentioned Luo Ziqi's relationship and revealed Sheng Yuanluo's identity, but...
The second photo even features a palace! A noble title!
It's blurry, but someone who knows you will definitely recognize it.
Su Ziqing was a little nervous, "Gong Chengjue..."
Gong Chengjue had just finished what he was doing. He glanced at her but didn't say anything. She called him by his full name again!
Sensing his displeasure, Su Ziqing quickly changed her words, "Chengjue, your photo is on the front page."
She had tried to search for information about Gong Chengjue online before, but couldn't find anything.
Even the Gong family has no information available online.
Just like that saying goes, if you can find this incredibly powerful family online, I'll eat my hat!
Gong Chengjue glanced at the blurry photo of himself, but still frowned.
"Should we tell them to leave quickly?" He probably doesn't want his presence in City A to be exposed, right? Su Ziqing almost imagined thousands of words in her mind.
Gong Chengjue originally wanted to ask Luo Jinhan to arrange this matter, but seeing Su Ziqing like this, he suddenly stopped being in a hurry and took her phone to take a look.
"The whole thing is just speculation about your friend's private love life." It has little to do with him.
"But isn't it unsafe if your photos are seen by malicious people?" Su Ziqing couldn't help but say.
"Jinhan." Gong Chengjue then spoke up, asking Luo Jinhan to handle the matter.
"Understood, Mr. Gong."
Luo Jinhan contacted the public relations department by phone, and within minutes the trending topic was taken down.
Shortly after, Su Ziqing's phone rang. It was Luo Ziqi calling. As soon as she answered, Luo Ziqi apologized apologetically, "Ziqing, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to drag you into this."
"What are you talking about? It's just one or two photos. I'm not in the entertainment industry, who would recognize me?" Su Ziqing laughed.
Luo Ziqi, however, was not so optimistic. She had just gotten off the plane and was sitting in a business car. "Things aren't as optimistic as you think. It's hard to explain over the phone. Where are you now? I'll come find you, and we can talk in person."
Su Ziqing's smile faded slightly. "What's wrong?"
"You can invite her to lunch," Gong Chengjue suggested, though his tone was full of disdain.
Can't he and she just have a normal meal for two?
"Where shall we eat?" Su Ziqing herself didn't know where to have lunch later.
"That place last time," Gong Chengjue said.
Su Ziqing told Luo Ziqi the location, and Luo Ziqi agreed, "We'll talk about it when we meet. I'm going to take a nap first."
……………………
Originally, Su Ziqing and her group were supposed to be ahead in terms of distance, but there was a traffic accident on the way, causing a huge traffic jam, so Luo Ziqi arrived before them.
Seeing Gong Chengjue next to Su Ziqing, Luo Ziqi unconsciously shrank her neck, feeling very guilty.
Su Ziqing didn't notice this subtle movement, but Gong Chengjue did, and he glanced at Luo Ziqi indifferently.
Ugh, that warning look is terrifying.
Luo Ziqi knew Gong Chengjue would come along; she would definitely have arranged to talk to Su Ziqing at home! She would rather eat plain porridge!
The rumors are true; this Mr. Gong is not someone to be trifled with. Last time, it was just her misperception that the rumors were false.
Moreover, Sheng Yuanshuo was present last time, which made it different.
Su Ziqing walked directly towards Luo Ziqi, "Ziqi."
Luo Ziqi pulled Su Ziqing, wanting to go to the restroom to talk, but...
"Miss Luo, just say what you have to say here." Gong Chengjue cut off her escape route with one sentence.
How could Luo Ziqi say that in front of Gong Chengjue? She wanted to say bad things about him; she wasn't asking for trouble.
So she decisively said, "I'm so hungry, Ziqing."
Su Ziqing smiled and said, "Then let's order something to eat quickly."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
She treated her friends better than she treated him...
Su Ziqing ate her meal very slowly, as if she were counting each grain of rice as she ate. Even though she was full, why did she have to keep eating?
Also, doesn't Luo Ziqi care about her figure?
Luo Ziqi waited to see if Gong Chengjue would leave for a short while, but! Even after they finished eating, he showed no intention of leaving for even a moment.
She was really worried sick.
He had already warned her, but she didn't dare use the excuse of touching up her makeup.
Unfortunately, Su Ziqing was sitting next to him, so she didn't have a chance to make any physical advances.
"I'm full, I'm going to touch up my makeup." Finally, Luo Ziqi heard Su Ziqing's heavenly voice and immediately agreed, "I'll go touch up my makeup too."
Luo Ziqi was about to say something as soon as she entered the restroom, but there were already people inside, so she could only patiently wait for them to leave.
Su Ziqing was even more puzzled by her tense demeanor. "What's wrong, Ziqi?"
"Ziqing, I may have hurt you." Luo Ziqi said, feeling so guilty that she was almost crying.
Su Ziqing was taken aback. "What's wrong? Don't leave me with only half the story. How did you manage to get me into trouble?"
"Photos, trending topics," Luo Ziqi uttered.
To be honest, ever since she started dating Sheng Yuanshuo, she knew the explosive reaction that would occur if her relationship with a rich young man were exposed, but she still underestimated it.
But right now, she felt she didn't have time to deal with her own affairs. She heard some rumors in the capital and immediately flew back to City A.
"Don't be too nervous about such a small thing. I'm not in the entertainment industry. Nobody will care," Su Ziqing said dismissively.
"But in the capital, some people have guessed that you're with Gong Chengjue!" Luo Ziqi stared at her intently. "Ziqing, you have no idea how deep the waters run in the Gong family..."
Su Ziqing: "..."
“You’re in City A right now, far from the capital, so you can’t hear much yet, but people in the capital are already spreading very unpleasant rumors about you.” Luo Ziqi sighed. “And I also heard that Gong Chengjue…”
"Um?"
"Gong Chengjue is a jinx to his wives."
"Pfft." Su Ziqing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth."
“Hmm, that’s perfect, I’ll be a match for him.” Su Ziqing winked mischievously. “I’m a jinx to husbands, he’s a jinx to wives, how wonderful, two negatives make a positive.”
"Also, Gong Chengjue is ruthless and has violent tendencies..." Luo Ziqi said, spilling the beans.
Su Ziqing was still smiling. "Ziqi, are you worried that I'll be with him, or that I can't be with him?"
"Laugh, laugh, you're still laughing! Do you know that as soon as I heard the news, I immediately asked the crew for leave and flew back?" Luo Ziqi grabbed her hand. "Aren't you afraid of him?"
