“Still doubting?” At the end of his patience, Xia Erxi didn’t understand why he was wasting so many words with his romantic rival. The words “romantic rival” suddenly jumped into his mind and deeply shocked his heart. He suddenly realized his reaction seemed a bit too intense… He was just short of planting a flag of ownership on Xinluo.
“Xinluo, are you and Mr. Xia really old acquaintances, and he was even your senior in university?” Gao Yizhe broke through, determined to get a definitive answer.
“…Yes, we’ve known each other for a long time,” she wanted to quietly break free from Xia Erxi’s embrace, but his large hand held her tightly.
Strange, previously Xia Erxi would have gone along with it and indicated they had just met. What was wrong with him today?
“Is that so?” Unable to hide his disappointment, Gao Yizhe looked at them in turn.
“…I understand.”
Murmuring “The CEO Wants to Play a Game” Chapter Five
“Do you know? Your attitude towards him just now was really rude.” After entering the house, Xinluo muttered in a low voice.
“Which ‘he’ are you talking about? I have absolutely no impression,” Xia Erxi raised an eyebrow, deliberately playing dumb.
“I’m talking about Gao Yizhe, my direct supervisor!” Turning around, she glared at him fiercely. His indifferent attitude was truly infuriating.
Has he really realized that Gao Yizhe is her bread and butter, and that she still depends on him for a living? “Are you concerned about him?” Summer Xi suddenly withdrew his smile and asked with utmost seriousness. This assumption made him very unhappy. “I care about my work,” Xinluo removed her jewelry, not noticing that he had already secretly let down her long hair. “At least I’m doing it happily.” “So you care about your work, not about him?” Summer Xi’s thin li
Looking back now, she really had many demands. “We had agreed not to work in the same office, I don’t want to be your office gossip queen, please find someone else for this position.” “Xinluo, coming to Xia Enterprise doesn’t mean you’ll become the gossip protagonist.” “I don’t trust you, you will definitely make a move on your secretary.” “I have never touched my female secretary,” he retorted with narrowed black eyes, displeased.
The secretary beside him was a vintage-level figure left from his father’s era, who had not changed in twenty years. By seniority, he would even have to call her “Aunt”! What move could he possibly make? “I don’t want to!” Xinluo stubbornly shook her head and turned away. She didn’t want to get involved in his life and was well aware of the women who came and went around him. She would just obediently remain his “love-disabled” companion.
Once again displaying that familiar expression, Xia Erxi sarcastically raised an eyebrow, with an inexplicable anger stuck in his chest. She once again fully demonstrated her annoying personality – a woman who was both stubborn and unwilling to communicate! Suddenly turning her to face him, Xia Erxi forcefully leaned down and sealed her li

“…Miss Lan, I heard that you’ve recently been in poor health and even stayed in the hospital for observation for a few days. Is this true?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Is it because you’ve been too exhausted recently? Will it affect your new collection launch?”
“It shouldn’t, and I hope it won’t affect anything.”
“What exactly is your physical discomfort?”
“I want to first thank the media friends for their concern. Strictly speaking, this is actually good news.” Zhen Yun gave a sweet smile.
“Good news?” The journalist interviewing Zhen Yun was stunned, “Can you explain that more clearly?”
“I… actually, I’ve been pregnant for over two months. I found out when I went to the hospital for a check-up.” Zhen Yun answered with infinite shyness.
“Really? That is indeed good news!” And quite an exclusive scoop! “Congratulations, Miss Lan. What kind of person is the father? When is the wedding?”
“The wedding date hasn’t been decided yet. I think I should first ask for his opinion.”
“Who is the father? Can you reveal that?”
“I… I’m not really convenient to say.”
“Come on! Tell us and let everyone share in the joy!”
“I can only say he is a very good man who has helped me a lot in my career. This diamond necklace, for example, is a token of affection he gave me…”
“Snap!”
With a slam, he turned off the TV, and Xia Er Xi’s face instantly turned an ashen blue, facing him was Bai Cheng Hai with a helpless expression. “…This is a live broadcast,” Bai Cheng Hai shrugged, implying that buying out the news was impossible.
“This woman’s thoughts turn so quickly,” Xia Er Xi narrowed his dark eyes dangerously, his thin li
“You can still laugh? Quickly think of a way to solve this, whether to remove the child or what!”
“If that child were mine, I would find it strange!” Xia Er Xi scoffed coldly.
“You think it’s impossible?”
“I even suspect the pregnancy itself is fake. Perhaps in a few days, after seeing me ignore her, she’ll spread news of an accidental miscarriage.” Such a worn-out script had always been performed this way.
“What if it’s true?”
“If it’s true, I’ll take responsibility, but first, let’s do a DNA test.” Xia Er Xi’s tone remained cold. He didn’t want to be a stepfather raising someone else’s child.
“You’ll marry her?” This answer surprised Bai Cheng Hai more than winning the lottery.
“No, I’ll only be responsible for all expenses related to the child’s growth. To enter the Xia family, she can wait slowly.” Xia Er Xi answered coldly.
Even if he agreed, his father would never consent. Thinking of his father, Xia Er Xi couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Just recently warned severely, unexpectedly Lan Zhenyun caused this new scandal. If seen, he would definitely have to attend that terrible blind date. In this regard, she truly harmed him. www. lyt99. cn www. lyt99. cn www. lyt99. cn
“Xinluo, I think we should talk,” quickening his ste
Recently, except for necessary work-related conversations, she almost avoided him whenever possible.
“I have no other intentions, I just want to clarify,” he said.
Hearing this, Xinluo raised her eyes and glanced at him. She wasn’t stupid and naturally understood what he wanted to ask, which was precisely why she had been avoiding him.
“Are you and Xia’er really old acquaintances?” Finally finding an opportunity, Gao Yizhe got straight to the point, no longer beating around the bush. He had been too subtle before, almost losing the beautiful woman before him.
“Yes, we are old acquaintances,” she nodded frankly.
“Was he your senior in university?”
“Yes.”
“After graduating from school… did you stay in touch?”
“…” Just as he expected! What he wanted to ask was exactly what she least wanted to answer.
“Xinluo, I’m not trying to interfere in your private affairs, but your answer is very important to me,” he stepped closer urgently.
These past few days, he had countless hypotheses in his mind, driving him almost crazy. If he couldn’t get an answer, he would definitely be sleepless all night.
