Chapter 1276: Chapter 1275: Scandal (1) Chapter 1276: Chapter 1275: Scandal (1) Bai Lan suddenly felt that she did not understand the person who lay beside her quite as well as she thought she did–he, too, could make such a move.
After she got up from bed, she had breakfast as he had instructed.
Then she rested at home.
However, Bai Lan's good mood only lasted a short while.
After finishing her breakfast, she sat on the sofa, pulled out her phone, and because she was bored, started browsing the news.
In the entertainment news headlines, in bold letters, it read: “National Goddess Su Qian seen holding hands with Sheng Ting Corporation's CEO,” and the report was rich with photos, including one of them dancing together.
When Bai Lan saw it, she was startled, unable to process it immediately–were these… last night's photos from the company anniversary?
Were they dancing together in the photos? The woman smiling sweetly with slightly upturned lips–was it Su Qian?
Bai Lan suddenly felt a sourness at the corners of her eyes, unprepared for this scene.
No wonder his clothes had lipstick on them last night. So, this was what had happened.
Bai Lan glanced through the content and found her suspicions were indeed confirmed.
She bit her lip lightly, then decisively turned off her phone.
She would no longer look at those annoying news stories, yet the incident truly had affected her.
Now she felt as though she had a bone stuck in her throat, wanting to forget what she saw, but her mind did not seem to let her.
It was terribly annoying.
The house was completely silent, and she felt it was too quiet, so she turned on the television.
She had no particular program in mind, so she continued to aimlessly flip through channels with the remote control.
Suddenly, there was Su Qian again. She was in an interview, attending a ribbon-cutting event that day.
She wore a black and white dress that showcased her shapely figure unmistakably.
Bai Lan looked closely–indeed, her beauty was flawless; no wonder she was hailed as the National Goddess, truly deserving of her title.
“JOJO, we heard you are passionately in love, and your boyfriend is quite impressive,” a reporter audaciously asked.
“No, I'm single right now. Don't ruin my market,” Su Qian said with a shy face.
“JOJO, your photo dancing with the Sheng Ting Corporation CEO made the headlines. Isn't that like making it official? I heard the CEO is very low-profile,” the reporter persisted.
“Please don't write nonsense. The CEO and I are just friends. Last night we only danced the opening dance because I'm the spokesperson for his corporation,” Su Qian explained, but a careful listener would sense something complex beneath her words.
With so many friends, why dance the opening dance only with her?
And indeed, the opening dance at the anniversary celebration is typically of special significance–it's usually only those who are close who get invited to dance it.
The reporter was also sharp. Some questions are just like that–ambiguous, without needing to delve into details, leaving room for suspense and news value.
If everything was laid out too clearly, it would be boring.
Bai Lan grew even more irritated as she watched this segment–she abruptly turned off the television with a sharp snap.
Now confined to her home, she could only stay put, practically growing moldy.
Zhou Shengting had just finished a meeting and stepped out of the conference room, noticing everyone was whispering as they looked at him.
He felt uneasy and checked himself over–nothing was amiss.
Once they saw him come out, they all hurriedly dispersed.
They certainly didn't have the nerve to slack off under the CEO's watchful eye.
Zhou Shengting returned to his office, sat in his leather chair, leaned back, and then pinched the bridge of his nose.
He felt somewhat exhausted.
