Time seemed to stop just like that, and the scene froze.

His action was so sudden that she didn't have time to react. She raised her head and rested her chin on the man's shoulder. Her eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.

What is Chu Huai trying to do?

"I'm sorry."

These three words came out of his mouth, mixed with too many different emotions. His remorse was tinged with a bit of coolness.

"…" With both hands on the front, Yin Qinghuan pushed him away and took a step back. Shaking her head, she replied, "I'm not blaming you for this. I'm the one who should apologize."

Fortunately, the mistake from last night did not happen. Otherwise, if they let Joanne and the others succeed in her scheme, I'm afraid that her and Chu Huai's reputation would have been ruined.

However, the words that Chu Huai said next caused her body to freeze —

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let him take you away."

Him?

Could it be that the apology that Chu Huai had said was not because he almost had sex with her, but it was because … She was taken away by Qi Yan Shang?

Did he really think that she had gotten into a relationship with Qi Yan Shang?

"Don't think too much about it. He didn't do anything to me afterwards."

If he didn't do anything to her, he would just stand there and watch as she tortured him by throwing her into the water time and time again.

"Finally, the doctor came."

Chu Huai froze as he saw the woman puckered her lips, as if she wasn't lying to him.

Yin Qinghuan felt that the situation had once again become awkward. She stroked the hair by her ear and looked at the time, "It's getting late, I should go to work."

"I'll send you off."

"No need, no need!"

Realizing that her reaction was a little too fast and her tone was hurried, the woman thought for a moment and said, "It seems that you haven't rested for the whole night, there's no need to send me off. You should go back quickly."

Hmm, this kind of rejection is more reasonable.

"I didn't want you to feel bad last night, I …"

In the end, he still mentioned this.

Before the man could finish his words, she immediately interrupted him, "I know, you were helping me back then, I …" I don't blame you, really. "

"It's not like that."

Chu Huai looked up, and his burning gaze met her gaze. Then, he said clearly: "At that time, I really wanted you. I knew you didn't have any consciousness, but I still wanted … I have you. "

He was not an irresponsible person. If what had happened last night, he would definitely take responsibility and marry her.

As long as she wanted to.

"Chu Huai, you …" Yin Qinghuan's entire body shook. What did he just say?

"Maybe I hated you in the past."

But now, he … An indescribable feeling filled him. He wanted to see her, and every time she appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but pay attention to her figure.

It was just like last night when he couldn't bear to let go of that beauty while kissing her. He only wanted to hold on to her tighter and tighter and occupy her completely.

"Yin Qinghuan, I think I have fallen for you."

— I do like you.

Like it? The woman's eyelashes couldn't help but flutter as she said that she was not surprised, but she was still a bit stunned.

In the end, it was still unavoidable.

She was worried that Chu Huai might have some sort of emotion towards her, and had never dared to come into contact with him, because she was afraid that it would cause this kind of deadlock.

But now, facing Chu Huai, she felt that everything was strange. After all, she didn't know whether Chu Huai's current words were directed at her, or to the former Yin Qinghuan.

In the end, she only smiled helplessly. "You must be wrong."

Previously, whoever saw her said that she was a malicious woman, and who said that they didn't want to see a woman like her again?

Where did this confession come from?

"I'm really going to be late. I'll leave first."

As the woman spoke, she walked past the man with her head lowered. Her car was right in front of her, and Yin Qing was happily walking forward. Chu Huai's voice sounded behind her again, causing her to pause in her steps —

"I want to woo you."

Pursuit? Was he serious?

She did not look back. As if she had fled the battlefield, she got into the car, avoiding that person's gaze as she drove the car away.

Along the way, the words of Chu Huai echoed in Yin Qinghuan's ears. From the looks of it, it seemed like he had come for real.

At the crossroads, she parked the car in front of a roadside parking lot, her brows furrowed even more deeply. Think carefully, could it be that she did something to make Chu Huai misunderstand?

She obviously didn't. She had been avoiding him all this time, so how did it become like this?

Were all men like this? Previously, they had bitterly pursued him, but he had ignored them. Now that he was unwilling to pay any more attention to him, he bitterly chased after him.

When they arrived at the company, Yin Qinghuan met Joanne in the elevator.

"I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

The other looked at her with ridicule in her eyes. He was still looking like he was going to die last night. He must be pretending to be weak in front of a man.

Yin Qinghuan didn't look at the person who spoke. She only looked at the elevator wall. There was only the two of them in the elevator, so she chose to ignore that person.

"However, I truly want to see the appearance of you being unrestrained under Chu Huai. What a pity."

It was a pity that such a coquettish scene had been disrupted by time. Otherwise, this morning's headlines and newspaper videos would be filled with scenes of the two being together.

Seeing that Yin Qinghuan was still silent, Qiao Annie pursed her lips and said mockingly, "Last night he sent me back. He was so gentle with me. He even told me that you were very cheap."

That him, he was talking about Qi Yan Shang.

Qi Yan Shang called her cheap? These words were made up without any skill at all. The man shouldn't have said something so disrespectful to Joanne.

"Since you know how to make up novels, you should start writing them."

Finally, Yin Qinghuan slightly lifted her lips and spat out these words.

When the elevator reached the 15th floor's design department, just as the door was about to open, Joanne wanted to reach out and grab Yin Qinghuan, but in the next second, the other side slapped her in the face.

"Pah!"

Caught off guard, the right side of his face was burning with pain.

"Yin Qinghuan, you!"

"You're the one who deserves a beating."

If Joanne hadn't held her back, she really wouldn't have had the chance to give her a slap.

Just as Joanne was about to fight back, the elevator door opened and a few clerks stood outside. She tried to raise her hand, but stopped herself.

"Designer Qiao, Designer Yin."

The staff outside the elevator nodded as they greeted her. Yin Qinghuan slanted her eyes at the woman who couldn't fight back, raised her head and chuckled. Then, she left the elevator.

This slap was something that Joanne deserved!

Both she and Fiona deserve to be punished for what happened last night. If she didn't need Joanne in the future, Yin Qinghuan wouldn't care about her life.

The other party would remember this slap. Yin Qinghuan was not someone that could be easily bullied.

Joanne, you have your ways to hurt people, and I have mine to keep you from laughing.

At the lunch break, entertainment news broke out, and Fiona was caught in all sorts of scandals, all over the place about having sat in a bar and beaten a man's kid, and a lot of photos as evidence.

Previously, in order to get a better model company, she had slept with people at a higher level. She was ashamed of her photographs and her emotions. The color text came out, at one point too large to face the woman directly.

As expected, not many women in this circle were clean.

This kind of scandal would undoubtedly destroy all the stars in an artiste's path. Before, it was Lin Chi, now it was Fiona. The final result was always the same: he became a street rat, and everyone shouted for him to be beaten.

"Is this kind of woman even worthy to be our ST's spokesperson?!"

"Yeah, it's so disgusting!"

"How can there be such a shameless woman …"

"…"

At that moment, the design department was filled with curses and insults. However, there were only two people who remained silent.

One was Yin Qinghuan, the other was, of course, Joanne.

As expected, Yin Qinghuan wasn't surprised. She didn't expect Yin Xiangze to be so fast.

As for Joanne, she was glad that she did not do it herself. It was not bad if there was a scapegoat, but Fiona was foolish.

His phone vibrated. It was Fiona. Joanne hung up without thinking. She did not change her expression, pretending that nothing had happened. She lowered her head and continued to look at the documents on the table.

The other party was unwilling to give up either. Seeing that he was unable to make a phone call, he sent a message.

[Designer Qiao, if you still don't pick up the phone, I will mess with you until ST and let everyone know your true identity!]

No doubt the dog was anxious to jump over the wall.

Joanne sneered. With this woman's IQ, how could she come here? He was probably thrown out of the company by the security guards before he could even enter.

She got up and went to the safe passage and picked up the phone.

"You finally answered the phone!"

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone trembled, but before she could say anything, Joanne interrupted her. "Is there any point in picking it up?"

Fiona paused. "What do you mean? "Designer Qiao, we agreed before that you would help me …"

"I think I need to remind you of one thing. I promised you that I would make you accept all the endorsements from ST in the future, but the premise is …" That has to be done. "

Now that things had failed, Fiona's reputation was ruined, and ST wouldn't use her again. It could be said that she was already a tumor in the celebrity circle and would not be able to survive.

"You want to turn hostile?!"

How could Fiona not know that this woman had been using him before? Now that the matter had been exposed, she could not recognize him, but he had to bear all the consequences by himself!

"What do you mean, we don't recognize each other? Did I do anything from the beginning to the end?"

Who was the one who drugged the medicine, who let Yin Qinghuan drink the wine, and who was the one guarding outside the resting room?

"You …"

The other party was infuriated, but he could not find any words to refute.

Joanne sneered. "As a model, I thought you could see through something like that. Until today, if you want to pull me down with you, with my ability, I can definitely make you disappear from the city. "

The meaning behind his words was, don't go head to head with her. In the end, Fiona will be the one to suffer the most.

"If you are smarter, I will give you some money. You should go far away and find a place that no one knows and live a good life."

After all, his reputation was in disarray and he could no longer meet anyone in public.

"What if I don't leave?"

The other party seemed to be insisting on something. A cold glint flashed through Joanne's eyes and her lips parted, "If you don't want to leave, then we will both perish together." But not with me. "

In the end, the one who caused Fiona such a disaster was Yin Qinghuan and not her, Joanne.
