Jiang Ruolan closed the forum and went out to prepare for the afternoon interview. She was in a good mood.

In fact, no matter what time, when there's a fool who stays up at two in the morning, writing a post to defend you, your mood will immediately become good. While this may seem like a small thing, it will attract more guesses and cyber cynicism.

All these years, no matter how envious a person was because of her success or failure, no matter how others gossiped, she, Jiang Ruolan, never responded. Just like the so-called gossip. She would rather be an outsider and read their comments. These people were actually all the same. What they wanted was not the truth, but just a topic that they could amuse themselves with.

So why should she wasting her time explain to these fools? She rather used that time to do something reproductive.

Jiang Ruolan immediately rushed to the bus stop. She needed to arrive at the Shangri-La hotel early because the press conference for the new album was about to start in an hour.

Just as she was sitting on the bus, her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Ruolan took it out from her bag and looked at the caller ID. She sighed. How did Qin Gengxin get her new number?

She hesitated before answering.

"You took a long time to answer the call? I thought you were dead." Qin Gengxin's mocking voice came directly from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Ruolan was speechless. Seeing that the bus was about to reach the destination, she got up and walked to the back door, and said, "What do you want? How do you know my current number?"

"When Jiang Yijun returned to F City, I immediately guessed that he knew where you were."

'Jiang Yijun, you damned brat, since when did you collude with Qin Gengxin!'

She curled her lips and replied without giving him any face, "Oh."

"I'm at the East Street Tea House. Where are you? When are you coming here? I've been waiting for you."

The bus stopped and Jiang Ruolan glared at the door like she wanted to kill someone. As she got off the bus, she said into the phone, "Who said I wanted to see you? Do you really think I have so much free time? Do you think my company is Fengyu Media?"

"Are you coming or not?"

"No!" Jiang Ruolan insisted.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the window of the East Street Tea House. I'm not going to leave until I see you." Qin Gengxin immediately hung up the phone with a "click."

"Hey! Qin Gengxin? Hello! You.."

Jiang Ruolan was so angry. She looked down at the screen and gnashed her teeth. 'Damn you, Jiang Yijun! Who gave you the right to tell Qin Gengxin my number?! Aren't you supposed to protect your sister?'

There was no helping it. Jiang Ruolan knew Qin Gengxin would do as he said, so she called him back, only to find Qin Gengxin had blocked her number.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt as if a stone had hit her. God, why did she have to go back to F City? She might as well find a seclusive place to stay. The best place was where even that little bastard Jiang Yijun couldn't find her!

Jiang Ruolan looked for Jiang Yijun's number and called him, but the brat said he didn't know anything about Qin Gengxin coming to see her.

That was strange. How did Qin Gengxin know her number then?

Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan remembered the method Qin Gengxin always used. The girls in her company could not handle him at all. Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt a layer of sadness in her heart. She took a taxi back to the company. Feeling sorry for the money wasted, Jiang Ruolan stormed to her office.

Jiang Ruolan saw that her colleagues all looked at her strangely. She immediately smiled and asked in the most friendly tone, "Who gave my phone number to Mr. Qin today?"

Immediately, a loli girl raised her hands up high, "It's me. I'm the one who gave it to him. Sis Jiang, where did you get that handsome guy? Will you reward me since I just gave him your number? You just need to buy me two bags of shrimp."

"Shrimp, huh?" Jiang Ruolan was still smiling as she pointed at the loli girl. "Your month's prize for this month, it's gone ~ I'll go report it to the editor now!"

The loli girl immediately tilted her head, and one of the employees suddenly covered her mouth while laughing. Jiang Ruolan glanced at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

She said, "Sister Zhu Ai probably lost all her bonuses for this year too because she wrote down your address on your profile."

Jiang Ruolan: "...."

The afternoon interview was handed over to someone else. Luckily, Jiang Ruolan was very enthusiastic about her work, so the editors really believed her. He did not think that she deliberately did not want to complete the task, and he also gave her half a day off.

When Jiang Ruolan arrived at the teahouse on East Street, she looked at the cars parked outside. She didn't see Qin Gengxin's Ferrari, so she guessed that he had flown to F City in such a hurry.

Jiang Ruolan walked into the teahouse and looked at a table by the window. From a distance, he could see Qin Gengxin, dressed in casual clothes, sitting there leisurely, reading a magazine. From the looks of it, he seemed to be patiently waiting for her.

Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and walked over to that table. She put the bag down heavily. When Qin Gengxin raised his head, Jiang Ruolan glared at him. "Did you force them to close the shop?"

Qin Gengxin glanced at her before looking at her expression. Seeing that she looked alright, he smiled. "Tsk, tsk, your voice is full of energy. You are really a strong woman. No matter what has happened, you still have feelings of indifference, and even I have to bow down to you."

"You are the one who is heartless." Jiang Ruolan stared at him before looking around the shop. She saw that Qin Gengxin had reserved the teahouse and there was no one else around. Only a few waiters were looking at them curiously. Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but clear her throat and speak in a low voice.

"Don't think of blaming Yijun because he did not tell you where I was. He just tried to protect me. One more thing, please stop using your appearance and shameless method to get my information from my company's female employees. I never know why shameless people like you still exist in this world."

"Am I? But I think those girls are all familiar with me, so why would I be the one to hook them? What about them? You don't think they will use shameless tactics to seduce me?" Qin Gengxin closed the magazine in his hands, called the waiter, and poured Jiang Ruolan a glass of lemonade.
