Chapter 1235: Where I Belong!
Zhou Yuchen didn’t seem to be feeling any emotions from Xiao Qinghai’s slap!
He merely wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of his lips with his thumb and said, “In order to further agitate Xiao Yuan, to make him hate me more, tomorrow morning… as a punishment to Xiao Yuan for barging into my room, deduct all his allowance and freeze his account to let him learn how to treat his brother with respect! You can also get me to work at the company! Provoke Xiao Yuan into requesting to work at the company in a bid to surpa.s.s me. I can be free of this earlier and return to where I belong!”
When Zhou Yuchen spoke, his voice was calm and emotionless, surprising Xiao Qinghai. It also made him feel guilty about slapping him without getting the facts straight earlier.
It was him who asked Zhou Yuchen to come and help Xiao Yuan, but he had now slapped Zhou Yuchen because Zhou Yuchen got physical with Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Qinghai’s lips parted, seemingly wis.h.i.+ng to say something. But before he could do so, Zhou Yuchen had already closed the door behind him.
The sound of the door closing made what little bit of guilt Xiao Qinghai felt dissipate. He seriously considered what Zhou Yuchen said.
Indeed, it had been so long, yet Xiao Yuan didn’t seem to be more motivated. It seemed like a stronger dose of medicine was called for.
Xiao Qinghai went downstairs, and his right index finger subconsciously grazed the edges of his sleeping robe. He habitually did this when he was thinking. He indistinctly felt that Zhou Yuchen wasn’t as innocent and harmless as he seemed on the surface. It was as if there was poison hidden behind those different colored eyes of his.
Zhou Yuchen, who entered the bathroom, clenched his fists tightly. His mind was filled with the photo that Xiao Yuan showed on his phone earlier and with what Xiao Yuan had said!
And… Xiao Qinghai’s slap!
Closing his eyes with his hands propped up against the sink, Zhou Yuchen developed a scary thought.
Regardless, to Zhou Yuchen… Yun Liuli was the last person he cared about in this world. He absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Yun Liuli the slightest bit! He wouldn’t let anyone harm her in any way!
When he opened his eyes again, there was a murderous and dark intent in his eyes.
…
Early the next morning, Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng attended AG’s press conference together.
The AG Company announced that Jacob Bellucci and Yun Liuli would be endorsing their new flags.h.i.+p phone.
Standing under the spotlight with Gu Qingcheng, their fingers intertwined, Yun Liuli had never felt so excited before…
From today onwards, Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng no longer needed to hide. Even though Gu Qingcheng had taken on a new ident.i.ty, they could stand before the public in an aboveboard manner. This was a satisfactory outcome to Yun Liuli.
She squeezed Gu Qingcheng’s large hand with force, as if silently conveying her current feelings to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng turned his head, peering at Yun Liuli from behind those black-framed gla.s.ses, his eyes so deep that it seemed as if Yun Liuli would be sucked into them.
The small interaction between Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng didn’t escape the attention of the spotlight…
A reporter grabbed the chance to ask with a smiling face, “Miss Yun, can you tell us how you managed to win the man of your dreams? Or Mr. Jacob Bellucci can speak, that would be fine too!”
“He’s not too fond of talking, let me do it!” Yun Liuli graciously took the mic and said with a smile, “Previously, he was taking photographs of the sunset by the sea and was stabbed by someone. That person was highly skilled… and even now, he hasn’t been arrested! I was worried, so I followed him around every day. Perhaps… he was moved by the meticulous care I showered upon him at this hospital and after he was hospitalized!”
Gu Qingcheng smiled and nodded by her side, expressing his agreement.
Another reporter asked Gu Qingcheng, “Then, Jacob Bellucci, weren’t you the least bit fond of Miss Yun prior to this? After all… as everyone knows, Miss Yun Liuli is a great beauty rare to come by. Someone even said… that Miss Yun Liuli’s beauty is unrivaled in the entertainment industry!”
“You’re exaggerating! With so many beautiful seniors… you’re trying to create new enemies for me, the newbie!” Yun Liuli replied in a joking manner without waiting for Gu Qingcheng to answer the question.
However, Gu Qingcheng picked up the mic calmly and said in his deep and impactful voice amidst the merry laughter, “Someone once told me, the more pretty a woman is, the more dangerous she is. Hence… I’ve been wary of pretty women! That we’re able to get together… Liuli takes credit for it.”
The media fell silent for a moment before exploding again.
Some of those among the media had done their homework after hearing that Jacob Bellucci would become the spokesperson of the AG phone and knew what it was like for Jacob Bellucci growing up. It was said that the maternal grandmother who abused Jacob Bellucci used to be a very famous beauty. This maxim was something that the unsociable and eccentric grandmother of his always said.
At the thought of Jacob Bellucci’s background, and looking at his achievements today, other than feeling sympathy for Jacob Bellucci, they couldn’t help but admire his tenacity.
Despite being educated that way, Jacob Bellucci was merely overly quiet, his nature not becoming twisted.
The media was rather kind this time and didn’t press Jacob Bellucci for his reasons for saying so. Also, no one asked him who said that to him.
However, there was one clueless reporter who asked, “Does the person who told you that have a strong influence on your life?”
Wearing Jacob Bellucci’s mask, Gu Qingcheng nodded.
Another reporter who knew the situation diverted the topic and asked Jacob Bellucci jokingly, “Then, Mr. Jacob Bellucci, do you feel that Miss Yun Liuli, being such a pretty girl, is very dangerous?”
Gu Qingcheng nodded without hesitation. He said into the mic, “She’s very dangerous, because she occupies my heart, and that’s as good as having my life in her hands!”
The reporters were incredibly touched to hear something so moving.
Yun Liuli’s ears and face turned red involuntarily. She bit her lip, appearing shy and embarra.s.sed.
Yun Liuli’s heart beat furiously, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
Gu Qingcheng had always been a man of action and few words. This was the same for Jacob Bellucci…
Today, Gu Qingcheng spoke using the ident.i.ty of Jacob Bellucci in a serious manner, his expression and gaze very serious!
Everyone knew that Jacob Bellucci never joked. Then… this must be real!
It was said that for one who didn’t fall for someone easily, once they fell for someone… they would undoubtedly be the losing party in the war called love!
That was because they would be the person who loved the deepest in the relations.h.i.+p.
Some female reporters couldn’t help but feel jealous of Yun Liuli…
