"I didn't say I wanted to touch you, why are you so nervous?" He raised his hand to rub his forehead, seeming a bit helpless and tired. "Just drive, I'm really tired today and don't want to argue with you."
"..." The temporary ceasefire extinguished the flames of conflict. Green Qi paused for a moment, looking at his weary handsome face, realizing that he might really be exhausted. She didn't say anything more and fastened her seatbelt to start the car.
Upon returning to Jiang Chengmu's villa, as soon as Green Qi brought her suitcase into the living room, she heard Jiang Chengmu's phone ring. That familiar exclusive melody announced the identity of the caller. Green Qi raised an eyebrow, put down her suitcase, and said lightly, "You should rest well; I'm heading back!"
"Why go back? Can't you stay here tonight?" Holding the phone, Jiang Chengmu turned to look at her with a somewhat cold gaze.
"Tomorrow isn't a day for going back to Jiang Residence. Staying here would disturb your time with your beauty, right? I should just go back to my own place! You do your thing; I'm leaving!" With that, she waved her hand gracefully and hurried out the door without bothering to check his expression.
Jiang Chengmu had intended to say something else, but his phone kept ringing insistently. He could only answer it, no longer paying attention to her hasty departure.
"I just got home; you should rest well. I'm really tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" After saying that, he hung up without waiting for the other person to respond.
He had never felt as anxious and troubled as he did now; exhaustion washed over him like a flood. He glanced at the suitcase left in the living room, sighed softly, and turned to go upstairs.
·······························
The speed at which entertainment media in City A spread gossip was beyond imagination. When Green Qi saw the headline news in the newspaper early in the morning, especially that candid photo of Jiang Chengmu talking while leaning close to her face, she immediately felt an urge to curse.
"Young Master Jiang and his wife show intimacy at the airport, dispelling rumors of relationship discord!"
"Asian Film and Television New Star Lu Manqing suspected to be Young Master Jiang's lover; Young Master Jiang showcases intimacy with his wife at the airport to fend off rumors!"
"Mrs. Jiang pointed out that Entertainment New Star Lu Manqing is the third party, and Jiang Dashao insists it is a misunderstanding!"
"······"
Various headlines have sensationalized the incident that occurred at the airport yesterday afternoon. Green Qi looked at the report in the Newspaper, furrowing her brows in frustration, and casually tossed the Newspaper onto the floor.
IKEA picked up the Newspaper and glanced at it, scoffing disdainfully, "This Lu Manqing really is hard to shake off; she seems to be everywhere!" After a pause, she cautiously added, "Gu Da, did Jiang Dashao cause you any trouble this time after those Paparrazi caught him with Lu Manqing?"
Jiang Dashao had always protected Lu Manqing well, even going so far as to warn Gu Lvq Qi not to provoke Lu Manqing. Now that the three of them happened to run into each other, she took the initiative to provoke Lu Manqing, and got caught by reporters. Although Jiang Chengmu tried hard to clarify his relationship with Lu Manqing to protect her, it inevitably led many gossip media reporters to start doubting.
"No, he seems particularly tired after this business trip and hasn't had time to bother me! I won't care anymore; as long as he doesn't drag me into his mess with Lu Manqing, it's fine. You should change your clothes and get ready for work soon; don't be late on your first day. Don't make it difficult for me as the Director."
