Mo Qian answered coldly, lifting his foot as if to continue walking forward.
Jin Xuan’er hurriedly spoke again, "Mr. Gu, I just saw your fiancée, is her name Ji Wei?"
Hearing Ji Wei’s name, Mo Qian paused his steps, turning to glance at Jin Xuan’er.
His reaction made Jin Xuan’er even more certain she hadn’t mistaken the person. The one who offended her earlier was indeed the eldest Miss of the Ji Family—Ji Wei! When it came to Ji Wei, Jin Xuan’er really held a crucial leverage.
"The newspapers say you and your fiancée don’t have a good relationship. Others might not know the reason, but I wonder—it could be because of someone, perhaps?"
Jin Xuan’er smiled as she spoke, though her words were ambiguous, like she was deliberately keeping him guessing.
Mo Qian disliked her phrasing, the cold expression between his brows clear. Instead of asking eagerly as Jin Xuan’er had anticipated, he turned indifferently and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Jin Xuan’er blurted out in urgency, "That person has quite a deep relationship with Miss Ji... it’s the Second Young Master of the Huo Family, Huo Yan."
Mo Qian’s eyes flickered.
The Gu Family and Huo Family had no business connections, and he had only met Huo Yan once at a party, leaving no deep impression.
Seeing his steps slow down slightly, Jin Xuan’er secretly approached him while seizing the opportunity to continue, "Coincidentally, I’m quite good friends with the Second Young Master Huo as well. The relationship between him and your fiancée might not be so simple."
Mo Qian stopped walking but didn’t turn back.
His figure stood tall, the tailored trousers perfectly accentuating his long legs.
Jin Xuan’er looked at his back, secretly sighing in her heart—this man indeed lived up to his reputation; even from behind, one couldn’t help but feel captivated.
But she only had eyes for Ye Cheng—for now, other men didn’t interest her.
"Mr. Gu, did you know? Huo Yan could probably be considered Miss Ji’s first love."
Jin Xuan’er suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
After uttering those words, she finally saw Mo Qian abruptly turn around. His cold and indifferent face tensed slightly, giving no clues to his emotions.
Jin Xuan’er secretly watched Mo Qian’s shifting expressions, confidently believing her words had hit the mark.
No current partner could remain unaffected hearing about their girlfriend’s first love—not even someone as poised and untouchable as Mr. Gu.
Meanwhile, Ji Wei and Xia Duoduo were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area.
"What did Ye Cheng say to you earlier in the office? Why do I feel like you’ve been crying?" Ji Wei asked bluntly without reservations.
Xia Duoduo seemed a little embarrassed, grabbing the water cup in front of her and taking a big gulp. "I... got scolded by Agent Ye."
Ji Wei was surprised. "Why did he scold you?"
Xia Duoduo coughed awkwardly. "He asked me about why I entered the entertainment industry and my plans for the future... You know I’m quite lazy. I’ve never thought about plans. Even entering the entertainment industry was because I got discovered by a scout while buying bubble tea to shoot an advertisement—it just sort of happened."
Alright, Xia Duoduo was truly a laid-back little celebrity...
After a pause, Ji Wei asked again, "So, he scolded you, and then you started crying?"
"... He said if I couldn’t even figure out why I entered the entertainment industry, I shouldn’t bother becoming an artist and might as well go home to live off the Xia Family as a spoiled little heiress."
For him to say something like living off one’s family, it was clear Ye Cheng was deeply frustrated with Xia Duoduo’s passive attitude.
Xia Duoduo tightened her grip on the cup, her lips curling upward. "Not everyone has to think things through so clearly and logically, right? As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. I was really annoyed and snapped back at him... And then, Agent Ye exploded on the spot and flat-out refused to take me on as his artist."
