Translator: 549690339
Xia Yangyang had this feeling.
She always thought Gu Qi Chen had made those comments for her to hear.
When Chen Yu noticed how intently Xia Yangyang was staring at Gu Qi Chen, he waved a hand in front of her, “You’re not going to become as infatuated with him as all those other women, are you? Is his face really prettier than mine?”
Xia Yangyang snapped back to her senses.
Her instinct was telling her that she mustn’t stick around here for long.
Xia Yangyang quickly packed her things and started to leave.
But Gu Qi Chen was surrounded by a crowd right by the doorway.
Xia Yangyang wedged her way out through a narrow gap at the edge of the crowd, her head down, mumbling, “Excuse me… excuse me…”
It had taken her a good while to worm her way out of the shooting room.
Xia Yangyang allowed herself a sigh of relief.
As long as she quickly slipped away from Gu Qi Chen’s field of vision, she’d be fine.
Don’t see me… Don’t see me… Don’t see me…
Xia Yangyang repeated it softly to herself.
“Miss Xia.” A low, clear male voice sounded behind her.
Upon hearing that voice, Xia Yangyang felt her heart flutter.
She was shocked as if she was nailed to the ground and stopped in her tracks.
Xia Yangyang turned around, her face plastered with a submissive smile, “President Gu, did you call for me?”
She hadn’t really done anything wrong, but for some reason, seeing Gu Qi Chen’s face always made Xia Yangyang feel unnerved.
It was like she had done something to betray him.
Everyone’s eyes landed on Xia Yangyang.
All she could feel was the cold piercing gazes of the women shooting at her like daggers.
Gu Qi Chen was approaching her slowly and steadily.
The closer Gu Qi Chen got to her, the more her heartbeat seemed to elevate.
She couldn’t predict what Gu Qi Chen’s intentions were.
Even Chen Yu had walked over and stood by the side with a thoughtful look.
Master Gu, could you please stop causing trouble for me?
Xia Yangyang wished she could plead with the heavens.
Seeing Gu Qi Chen stop, Xia Yangyang hurriedly said, “President Gu, if you don’t need anything, I have to go.”
Xia Yangyang subtly gritted her teeth, implying Gu Qi Chen to keep his distance.
But Gu Qi Chen completely ignored her expression.
A gentle smile was spreading across his face.
Xia Yangyang just felt was literally the epitome of a smiling face hiding a knife.
As she anticipated, Gu Qi Chen went on to say in the next moment, “I just wanted to say, Miss Xia, your shoelaces came undone.”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback and looked down.
She had already changed into her off-screen clothes and shoes.
She had randomly put on a pair of sports shoes today and it turns out she hadn’t laced them up properly, they were all undone now.
Before Xia Yangyang could react, Gu Qi Chen had already stooped down and was kneeling on one knee.
Xia Yangyang was stunned as if thunderstruck.
The faces of everyone present were similarly agape.
Gu Qi Chen was… Gu Qi Chen was actually tying Xia Yangyang’s shoelaces!
And his kneeling posture was so dashing making the women’s hearts skip a beat.
Xia Yangyang was dumbfounded.
She feared nothing more than Gu Qi Chen being overly familiar with her in public.
But, kneeling down to tie her shoelaces… Isn’t that going too far?
Gu Qi Chen, do you wish to see me drowned in everyone’s nastiness?
Xia Yangyang was so mortified that she froze; even her foot didn’t feel like her own.
Having tied the shoelaces, Gu Qi Chen naturally stood up with that still gentle smile on his face, “Miss Xia, be more careful next time.”
And then he turned around and walked away.
Listened to those three words: “be more careful”, Xia Yangyang felt a chill run down her spine. She felt like there was a hidden meaning in Gu Qi Chen’s words.
But to the others, it didn’t appear to be like that.
What they saw was an expression of doting, causing them to seethe with jealousy!
