Xia Yangyang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.

She could not utter the word “husband”.

Though their relationship was officially acknowledged now, Xia Yangyang found the development of their relationship until today rather perplexing.

Xia Yangyang hesitated for a moment but didn’t call out.

Looking at Xia Yangyang’s shy demeanor, Gu Qichen did not insist but asked, “So, what’s the matter?”

Xia Yangyang released a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Our school’s press club is doing an interview for ‘Influential Figures’ and we’d like to invite you as a guest.”

Gu Qichen’s expression remained unaffected, his voice calm, “I never accept media interviews.”

Xia Yangyang was well aware of this; she did not hold much hope too.

However, Gu Qichen then said, “Let me see if I can find time tomorrow.”

Xia Yangyang was startled.

Had Gu Qichen agreed?

Yet, Xia Yangyang felt she couldn’t take it too seriously, after all, Gu Qichen was always so busy.

The next day, Xia Yangyang had an early class.

After class, she was called for a meeting by the Press Club’s president, Xu Li.

When Xia Yangyang arrived at the lecture hall, the press club members were all gathered around Gong Xue’er.

Everyone had looks of admiration on their faces.

“Xue’er, you’re truly amazing, actually inviting Gu Qichen. Now our press club can stand proud among the four major clubs.”

“Xue’er, tell us truthfully, what’s your background? President Gu is so respectful towards you, do you guys know each other from before?”

“Xue’er, you attended the Gu Family’s patriarch’s birthday banquet yesterday. What was it like? Tell us?”

Gong Xue’er basked in the adoration, her face full of pride. However, when she noticed Xia Yangyang just arriving, her expression froze for a second.

Xu Li had already ascended the lectern and lightly knocked on the table: “Quiet down! Let’s start the meeting.”

Everyone found their seats.

Xu Li continued: “Just this morning, the Assistant to the CEO from Shengyuan Group contacted our press club, saying that President Gu agreed to be interviewed by our club at 3 PM for half an hour. This is a significant event for our club, and I am as excited as any of you. Of course, the credit goes to our Vice President, Gong Xue’er.”

Upon saying this, Xu Li began applauding, followed by the rest of the classroom who congratulated Gong Xue’er.

Xia Yangyang was left dumbfounded, since when had this become her achievement?

Xu Li continued, “As Xue’er has secured such a rare opportunity for our club, we need to make the most of it. I have already prepared the interview script. Xue’er will conduct the interview; I believe she will execute the task excellently.”

Everyone burst into envious exclamations. Being able to interview Gu Qichen was a dream for any media professional.

Xu Li handed the script to Gong Xue’er and, upon arriving at Xia Yangyang’s side, added: “Xia Yangyang, keep assisting Xue’er, and fetch the equipment later. Xue’er mentioned you’d been a great help, thank you for your hard work.”

Xia Yangyang said, “I quit the interview. You should find someone else, President.”

When the meeting adjourned, Xia Yangyang was the first one to leave.contemporary romance

However, she could faintly hear Gong Xue’er’s soft, aggrieved voice: “She’s a wealthy heiress, it’s not fair to make her carry equipment for me. And I know Yangyang has always wanted to be the host of this interview.”

Others were consoling her: “This opportunity is your hard-earned glory.. Unlike some people, who want to reap the rewards without hard work…”
