Although these news stories, to some extent, impacted Yu Zexiao’s "perfect Prince" image, the scandal between the two of them had indeed dissipated quite a bit because of this incident.
But regardless of the nature of their scandal — at least, Jian Anning was his assistant! With the principals unwilling to respond, and bodyguards eyeing protectively around Jiang Xuanqi and Lu Jiayuan, the reporters almost instantly found Jian Anning in the crowd, and everyone simultaneously turned their weapons on her!
"You’re Zexiao’s assistant, right? Do you know anything about Zexiao and Qiqi breaking up?"
"Why did Zexiao and Qiqi break up? Please tell us!"
Initially, Jian Anning had not even had the chance to react when she was bombarded by the media reporters who had suddenly closed in on her. The blinding flashes and the microphones thrust at her were almost numbing her scalp!
She knew she should quickly distance herself from the situation, but faced with a wave of reporters, her first instinct was to cover her face and run!
If it were just a phone interview, she thought she could handle it amicably. But this face-to-face interview — her face would probably be broadcasted, right?
She remained silent, but the reporters had no intention of letting her go. One female reporter was particularly aggressive, grabbing her wrist as though afraid she would run away. Jian Anning, in her high heels, nearly fell to the ground!
At that moment, a pair of strong, slender hands suddenly steadied her arm. Then, with a forceful lift, Jian Anning’s unstable figure was instantly stabilized!
Then, a pleasant voice rang out instantaneously, "Please let go of my assistant."
It was Yu Zexiao! It was actually Yu Zexiao, who had left his well-placed stance beside Jiang Xuanqi and Lu Jiayuan, and abandoned a whole host of reporters interviewing him. Seeing Jian Anning being jostled about by that female reporter, he specially strode over with his long legs to come to her rescue!
Before Jian Anning and the media on site could react, Yu Zexiao exerted his strength, and Jian Anning quickly steadied herself, and with a gentle push from him, she stepped out of the crowd and came to his side!
With this move, all the lights and all the people were focused on Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning by his side! Even though, afterwards, he was tall and stately with a cool expression, and Jian Anning was dressed in a very formal, work staff-like manner, his actions were still surprising!
Could it be that Yu Zexiao’s true romantic interest was actually this little assistant?
Some reporters, not giving up, asked, "Then, what is your relationship with the assistant beside you?"
"Assistant?" Yu Zexiao raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "You’ve said it yourself, she’s my assistant. So, what do you think our relationship is!"
With that, he left the opposing reporter nearly suffocating with frustration.
Since Yu Zexiao was tight-lipped, many turned to Jian Anning, "May I ask, Miss, are you and Yu Zexiao romantically involved?"
Before Jian Anning could respond, Yu Zexiao frowned and said, "Which media outlet are you from? Xingcheng Weekly, right? If you dare to spread more rumors, be careful, I might sue you for defamation!"
Having said that, he couldn’t be bothered with the media anymore and left, expressionless, escorted away by his bodyguards! And naturally, Jian Anning wouldn’t say a word.
