Both of them did not have huge appetites. They were done with eating not long after.
"Are you full? Or, do you not like these?"
asked Shen Fanxing as she could not believe that a tall man like him could have such a small appetite.
"I'm full."
"Okay, you can go and rest on the sofa. I'll clean up."
"Okay."
-
It did not take long to clear up, for a meal eaten by two.
When she went out, Bo Jinchuan was sitting on the sofa with the tv turned on.
Though she was unsure of what he had seen, the coldness reflected within his brows were obvious.
Doubtful, she went forward to take a closer look. Her face turned cold too.
In the background was the building of the Su Company. A beautiful-looking Shen Qianrou was surrounded by many reporters, beside her stood a stone-faced Su Heng, in a suit.
"Qianrou, it has been rumoured that you attended the scent-making contest in France last year. You're Rosanna, the contestant who got the fourth place?"
"It's only the fourth place. I didn't stand on the global stage to receive any awards. I'm quite ashamed to have received such attention."
The various media outlets got excited upon hearing the admission from Shen Qianrou.
"Mr Heng, you've just announced that Ms Shen Qianrou will be taking the place of the chief perfumer. What about Ms Shen Fanxing, what will she think after knowing that she's being replaced?"
"I heard she has left the Su Company?"
"Everyone knows about the strained relationship between Ms Shen Fanxing and Ms Shen Qianrou. It has been rumoured that Ms Shen Fanxing stole Ms Shen Qianrou's formula during the contest, causing her disqualification and expulsion from the contest and school. Doesn't your action prove the validity of this news?"
In the face of the media's crude questions, Su Heng's face became colder.
Yet, the scarier man was the one sitting in front of the tv and watching the news unfold — Bo Jinchuan.
His dashing face was eerily cold as he turned to Shen Fanxing, his voice icy.
"Did you resign or were you being chased out?"
Shen Fanxing frowned before saying, "Take it that I resigned."
She did not expect Su Heng to make that decision too.
Bo Jinchuan went silent. After a while, he stood up and walked to Shen Fanxing.
"That's good… But, what did the reporter mean? You plagiarized the third-rate celebrity's formula?"
Third-rate celebrity?
Regardless, Shen Qianrou was the top hit of Lan Yun Media!
Why did she become a third-rate celebrity when it was said by him?
That was not the main point. Shen Fanxing's chest tightened at Bo Jinchuan's question.
Her fists curled into a ball and her cool eyes stared into Bo Jinchuan's orbs for long, before she slowly asked,
"…If I say I didn't, will you believe me?"
"I will if you say you didn't," replied Bo Jinchuan unhesitantly, causing Shen Fanxing to be taken aback.
"…I didn't steal her formula."
"Alright,"
answered Bo Jinchuan unhesitantly, preparing to walk away.
Instincts told Shen Fanxing something was amiss and she turned to grab his hand.
