Chapter 749: Chapter 723: Is this considered a date? 2
He was curious to see how Qiao Si would react to the photos!
Before Huangfu Ye could finish sending the photos, Qiao Si called. Huangfu Ye picked up the phone, chuckling, “Qiao Si, that’s quite a quick reaction!”
Qiao Si and Huangfu Ye have a good relationship and often hung out together.
“Who the hell is that man! Is Gong Xue sick or something? Even though our engagement was called off, she shouldn’t pick a man old enough to be her father!” Qiao Si’s tone was very harsh.
“None of your damn business! You should focus on your little love affair. It’s not your concern whether she’s looking for a father or a grandfather!” Huangfu Ye retorted sarcastically.
“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else!”
“Wait, did that man force her?”
“None of your damn business! You should stop being so nosy. Even if Miss Gong was raped in public, it’s not your place to save her!” Seeing the situation wasn’t right on Gong Xue’s end, Huangfu Ye quickly hung up and walked over.
“Gong Xue, what a coincidence!”
Huangfu Ye was familiar with Gong Xue. After all, she used to attend their gatherings when she was with Qiao Si. She was a typical privileged lady, graceful and genteel. He noticed that she wasn’t particularly comfortable at those social gatherings.
On seeing him, Gong Xue’s eyes lit up. She quickly rose from her seat and nervously looked at him, her eyes pleading for help.
“Who are you? Stay out of it!” The older man frowned at Huangfu Ye.
“You bald, beer-bellied frog, dreaming of the swan’s meat!” Huangfu Ye took a business card from his pocket, flicked it onto the man’s body, and said, “This is my business card. If you have any problems, come to me!”
Huangfu Ye left, taking Gong Xue with him.
The man wanted to curse, but he was not a fool. When he picked up the business card and saw it, he was almost scared out of his wits. It was from Sheng Ming Corporation!
Even if he was wealthy, he wouldn’t dare to provoke someone from Sheng Ming Corporation.
Since Gong Xue knew someone from Sheng Ming Corporation, why was she seeking cooperation with their company?
“What happened?” Huangfu Ye asked Gong Xue after he sat down.
Gong Xue initially didn’t want to disclose, but seeing as Huangfu Ye had just saved her, she divulged, “Qiao Si and I called off our engagement. I originally wanted to go abroad, but then encountered some issues with the company.”
Being a smart man, Huangfu Ye understood the meaning behind her words.
“Thank you for saving me just now. I won’t forget it,” Gong Xue stood up and bowed to him.
Huangfu Ye truly felt that Qiao Si was blind. What a nice lady Miss Gong was, yet Qiao Si had given up on her.
Gong Xue suddenly felt nauseous. She quickly placed a hand over her mouth and ran off, leaving Huangfu Ye standing there, somewhat stunned. He followed her and stood outside the restroom, a strange look in his eyes.
“You… are you pregnant?” Although Huangfu Ye was not a woman, he knew that this kind of reaction looked like morning sickness.
Not wanting to hide it, Gong Xue nodded and said,”Yes.”
“Qiao Si’s?” Huangfu Ye did not doubt for a moment that the child was Qiao Si’s.
“Yes, please help me keep this secret. Once the company matters are settled, I’ll immediately go abroad,” Gong Xue said calmly.
Looking at the chaste and elegant woman in front of him, Huangfu Ye couldn’t help but look forward to the drama that would unfold with Qiao Si.
When Qiao Si arrived, he snatched the newspaper from Huangfu Ye and asked,”Where’s Gong Xue?”
“She left ages ago! What are you doing here anyway? Weren’t you supposed to be on your honeymoon with your first love?” Huangfu Ye asked, rolling his eyes.
