Zheng Rourou had always known how to use her feminine advantages. She understood that if she lost her temper in such a situation, it would be extremely unseemly. Therefore, she decided that if anyone were to get angry, it shouldn’t be her, but her man instead.
If Shi Che were to rage on her behalf and berate the Heavenly Empress Ji Xinxin, she would suddenly be in the limelight and look good.
Zheng Rourou immediately stifled her anger. Her big eyes blinked, and tears began to well up. She looked at Shi Che and spoke pitifully, "President Shi, look at her~"
Her charming face seemed about to cry, with tears swirling in her eyes and a delicate, pitiable expression that stirred protective instincts in others.
Ji Xinxin watched Zheng Rourou’s performance without speaking. She just sneered coldly, staring at Shi Che, as if waiting to see how he would handle it.
Shi Che was already in a foul mood today, and this scene only made him more impatient. His brows furrowed deeply as he looked at Zheng Rourou with a harsh tone, "You can’t even handle this much, and you tell me you want to mingle in the entertainment industry?"
Shi Che didn’t say anything harsh, but the words were biting and sarcastic, hitting Zheng Rourou so hard her face turned pale.
Under the public’s gaze, she took pride in being Shi Che’s companion, but Shi Che showed her no regard. It was obviously Ji Xinxin who provoked her first, yet Shi Che ridiculed her instead.
At that moment, Zheng Rourou truly felt wronged. The tears that she’d faked couldn’t be held back and fell genuinely.
But upon seeing Shi Che’s somber face and impatient demeanor, her tears quickly retreated, and she lowered her gaze, meekly staying close to him, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.
Ji Xinxin watched all this coldly, then suddenly clapped her hands lightly, clicking her tongue in admiration, "Our President Shi is indeed cold and ruthless. I used to think you only smile at newcomers and ignore the old ones crying."
Ji Xinxin deliberately emphasized the word "old."
A dark shadow slowly appeared in Shi Che’s eyes. He knew perfectly well why Ji Xinxin was picking on him, yet even Ji Xinxin, an outsider, seeing another woman by his side, felt such injustice. However, the person who truly should have felt wronged remained as calm as if... she had no emotions.
In his mind, the expression of Ling Chuxia flashed by, drenching his heart with a chill of self-mockery. As a result, the aura around him became even sharper.
Though the undercurrents surged within him, Shi Che’s face remained as calm as ever, as if nothing could stir his emotions.
His thin lips slightly parted as he replied blandly, "Miss Ji, thanks for your concern."
