”What's wrong?” Seeing Chu Yu standing there in shock, Jiang Rui curiously asked as he looked down at her.

Following her line of sight, there was a black mass of people. There was nothing strange about it. When he was about to speak again, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chu Yu's back was stiffened, he watched as Xiang Qicheng walked towards her across the crowd, step by step. His heart was thumping hard, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Right now, she really wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide from the scene.

”So you are here.” The man frowned slightly as he looked at her with his deep eyes, then spoke with a magnetic voice.

He glanced at the man beside Chu Yu, then shifted his gaze back to Chu Yu.

”En...” ”Yeah, what a coincidence …” Chu Yu laughed awkwardly, he already did not know what expression he should use to face Xiang Qicheng, and what's more, it was right in front of him.

If there was a mirror in front of her eyes, she could see that her smile was uglier than a cry.

”Sir, I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?” Jiang Rui asked suspiciously as he pulled Chu Yu behind him, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Maybe Xiang Qicheng's aura was too sharp, causing people to feel that he did not look like a good person. Generally, those who saw him first would be divided into two categories. The first type were people who retreated due to the strong aura surrounding him, and the second type were people like Jiang Rui who were full of hostility towards him.

From the first time he saw Xiang Qicheng, Jiang Rui felt that something was amiss. His eyes were staring straight at Chu Yu and it seemed like he did not have any peace of mind. Furthermore, when Chu Yu replied him with a timid tone, it made Jiang Rui even more suspicious.

Chu Yu held his breath, and did not dare to breathe.

”I'm Chu Yu's husband. She has just taken over the responsibility of handling the affairs of the R2 company. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to take care of her.” Surprisingly, Xiang Qicheng opened his mouth and a faint smile appeared on it. His calm and relaxed appearance caused Chu Yu to raise his head and look at him in shock, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

Xiang Qicheng was a veteran in the business world after all, he knew how to open his mouth and immediately put the other party in an awkward position to save himself a spot.

These few sentences of his not only brought out his identity but also showed that he was on good terms with Chu Yu, causing him to immediately become an outsider.

”I still have some customers over there, you guys are having a good time.” ”Mrs. Xiang, remember to go home for dinner tonight.” The man raised his hand to look at his watch, his smile warm and loving. He rubbed Chu Yu's hair before he walked back into the crowd.

Only Jiang Rui, who had a look of astonishment on his face, and Chu Yu, who had lowered his head in anxiety, were left behind.

”Is what he said true?” Jiang Rui asked with a trembling voice, her tone carrying a trace of sorrow.

He actually had a sliver of a fluke in his heart when he asked this question. If Chu Yu denied it, then he would believe her for no reason at all, and pretend like nothing had happened.

Although he was in charge of the company's mainland division, he had just returned from abroad and had not taken over half a year. Naturally, he did not pay too much attention to the various news regarding Anlan City, so even if Xiang Qicheng was standing in front of him, he did not know who he was.

”Mm …” ”Sorry …” Chu Yu's face was filled with distress. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to do so. The matter between her and Xiang Qicheng wasn't something that could be explained in a few words.

”Then why didn't you tell me earlier!” At the same time, Jiang Rui opened his mouth to ask, but his eyes had already turned red.
