The setting sun had already filled the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun was particularly gorgeous. In the blink of an eye, it was 6:30 in the afternoon.
The door was pushed open, and Gu Zhicheng walked in. He saw Ai Yue sleeping soundly on the indoor swing, and he walked over to cover her with a thin blanket.
Ai Yue was startled awake. "Ah, why did I fall asleep? What time is it?"
"When did you come back?" Ai Yue looked at Gu Zhicheng in surprise.
Gu Zhicheng sat on the chair in front of her." You just came back. You're awake. Perfect. Do you want to go to the newly opened French restaurant for dinner?"
"No, that, wait... Well... What have you been doing in the past few days? Why not go home? And what were you busy with this afternoon?
Why did you hang up so quickly? Is there something you're hiding from me?" Ai Yue asked him about what she was confused about.
Gu Zhicheng replied unhurriedly, "Shen Yangqing's fiancée ran away from her marriage, so I came back. As soon as I arrived at the airport in China, I was surrounded by a group of paparazzi. It was not easy for me to get rid of the paparazzi, but I was informed that the studio had something urgent to deal with. They said that a part of the script had been changed for the drama that I was going to shoot. Also, the actors had been replaced. Other than Li Xiaoxiao and I, the female lead, the other supporting roles had been replaced at the last minute, which was why I was so busy until now."
He told her everything that had happened since he came back from M country, but he did not explain why he had hung up the phone in the afternoon.
"Oh... What about you in the afternoon?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ai Yue's phone received a text notification. The bank notified Ai Yue that she had received a penalty of five million yuan...
"Looks like you don't have to record your show." Gu Zhicheng said with a smile. He looked very happy.
Ai Yue cast a disdainful look at Gu Zhicheng. "Are you very happy?"
Gu Zhicheng's laughter became even more unbridled. He had no intention of escaping.
Ai Yue was speechless, but she couldn't understand. "Why are you so against me participating in this show?"
"Because of Shen Yangqing." Gu Zhicheng answered without hesitation.
"Shen Yangqing?" Ai Yue finally understood.
So the so-called chairman was Shen Yangqing. No wonder Shen Yangqing didn't appear in M country, but in China, no wonder she saw him during the recording of the program. Shen Yangqing had his reasons for getting close to Ai Yue, and he was approaching her step by step, yet Ai Yue didn't notice anything. This was the reason why Gu Zhicheng was angry.
It seemed that she had misunderstood Gu Zhicheng, and all of this was Shen Yangqing's doing. Although Ai Yue didn't know what he wanted to do, she knew that he was a cunning person. He didn't have any good intentions for approaching her with such a purpose.
"It seems like he's quite interested in you." When Gu Zhicheng said that, there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Ai Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was sure that Shen Yangqing wouldn't have any thoughts about her.
Because Shen Yangqing did not love her at all. Ai Yue knew this better than anyone else.
"So, the program can't be broadcast..."
"Yes, I did." Gu Zhicheng answered readily.
"Very good." Ai Yue admired his calmness.
Gu Zhicheng had indeed done it, but he had also used a little trick. He had accidentally seen Shen Yangqing speaking in Ai Yue's live stream and had even let Shen Yangqing lead the way. He had also accidentally heard from Ai Yue's friends that Ai Yue had appeared on a show. Therefore, he asked the person to start a step-by-step investigation.
In the end, the results of the investigation were the same as his speculation. All of this was because Shen Yangqing was slowly getting closer to Ai Yue, and Gu Zhicheng had no idea why he was getting closer to Ai Yue. Was it because he suddenly realized that he still had feelings for Ai Yue? Or was the purpose of getting close to Ai Yue to get close to the Gu family? Gu Zhicheng had to defend himself.
Therefore, he found Shen Yangqing's mother and talked to her about this matter. However, in exchange, Gu Zhicheng had provided her with the whereabouts of Shen Yangqing's fiancée, Zhou Ranran. As for how Gu Zhicheng knew Zhou Ranran's whereabouts, it was not worth mentioning.
Gu Zhicheng only knew that Shen Yangqing must be angry and frustrated right now. He liked the feeling of victory very much. He glanced at it leisurely. "What is this?"
"Ah!" Ai Yue immediately jumped off the swing.
She looked apologetic. "Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot about this. This... This is a fax from Li Xiaoxiao. She said that she hopes that you can meet her before the filming officially begins."
"Whoa...Oh?" Gu Zhicheng tilted his head in surprise and looked at her. "Aren't you angry?"
"Ah?" Ai Yue was puzzled. "Could it be...Shouldn't you be angry with me?"
"No, I'm just curious if you'll be jealous."
Ai Yue: "..."
Gu Zhicheng had thought that she would be jealous because of what had happened to Su Rouyi.
"I don't know who saw the advertisement with Su Rouyi, but they were so angry that they couldn't even eat." Gu Zhicheng was a little happy. Ai Yue was jealous, which meant that she cared about him.
Ai Yue shrugged. "The reason I'm not jealous is that Li Xiaoxiao is different from Su Rouyi. Li Xiaoxiao is my goddess. I've watched the drama she was a substitute in. I like her a lot. I'm her number-one fan! Oh, by the way, have you seen today's news? Su Rouyi...She, she's back."
"Fans? How interesting." Gu Zhicheng smiled. "You're still someone's fan...Yes, I've heard about that. It seems that she has a very reliable person. That person spent a lot of money to clear her name. It seems that she will be able to debut again soon."
Ai Yue couldn't help but tsk. This was too scary.
Gu Zhicheng was not in the mood to destroy Su Rouyi. After all, even if she was going to debut again, the public would still have doubts about her past. Therefore, compared to seeing Su Rouyi completely lose her reputation, Gu Zhicheng preferred to watch her struggle at death's door. After all, if the media caught even a little bit of information about her, it would affect the whole situation.
After their discussion, Gu Zhicheng once again invited Ai Yue to have dinner with him, and Ai Yue gladly agreed.
However...
The car soon arrived at the underground parking lot of the French restaurant.
Gu Zhicheng whispered into Ai Yue's ear, "What are you trying to do?"
He glanced helplessly at Aunt Chen, who was sitting in the back seat. She was excited because it was her first time coming to such a high-end restaurant.
He brought his aunt over for a candlelight dinner...This atmosphere...
Ai Yue smiled brightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Aunt Chen has been cooking for us at home for a long time. It doesn't matter if we eat out together. You booked a private room anyway, so Aunt Chen is like a mother to us.
