Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  Looking at these unbearable photos, Gu Jiaxi didn't know what to say.

  These photos are indeed Ye Yunmo's past. She once mentioned that she used to work as a pole dancer at a nightclub to make money and raise Xiao Ze, but she never expected such things would be dug up, let alone have photos?!

  This is obviously the work of Ye Qianyu's opponent, and Gu Jiaxuan despises people like this the most. Instead of using fair and square methods, they resort to such sinister and vicious tactics!

  "Give me an explanation!" In the coffee shop, Ou Mu Xuan looked at Gu Jia Qi coldly, watching as her facial expression changed.

  "......" Gu Jiaxi didn't know what to say, so she returned the photo to Ou Muxuan, "What does President Ou want to know?"

  "Are these true? Did Ye Xuanmo really do such things in the past?" The anger in Ou MuXuan's heart became more and more apparent, harder to suppress.

  "Yes!" Gu Jiaxi said truthfully, "But at that time, sister was just dancing and didn't do anything more excessive!"

  Is there anything more excessive? Ou Mu Xuan sneered, "You think this is not excessive enough?" Wearing such revealing clothes and flirting in front of so many men, isn't that already excessive?

  Gu Jiaxi nodded, "It's just dancing, and at that time, my sister was also helpless, not willing to go to that place."

  "Driven by desperation?" Oumu Xuan sneered, "What reason can make a person so indulgent and degenerate?!"

  Debauchery, degeneration?! Such obviously insulting words made Gu Jiaxi angry. How could this man be like this? Her sister was only for the sake of her son, for the sake of living!

  "Ou Zong, do you think it's that easy for a person to exist in this world?" Angered, Gu Jiaxi naturally didn't care about identity or emotions anymore, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said indignantly, "Do you think everyone is like you, born with a silver spoon, having a row of servants bowing and calling you 'young master' from birth?"

  "......" Ou Mu Xuan frowned, another arrogant and reckless woman!

  "I'm the same as my sister, we both came from an orphanage. We didn't have parents to rely on, no family to bear all our grievances. If we want to grow up and be independent, we must completely rely on our own two hands to fight for it. Do you think that's easy?"

  Gu Jiaxin got angrier and angrier, "Sister went to France alone at the age of 18, she had to earn her own living expenses, tuition fees, and...". And also raise a son, Gu Jiaxin swallowed back this sentence!

  "Ou Zong, do you know where her halo comes from? Do you think she really became famous overnight by chance? Do you know how much effort she put in before becoming famous, how much suffering she endured, and how many people bullied her?" Thinking of Ye Xuan's past, Gu Jiaxi felt heartache.

  "You know nothing, don't even try to understand, and you deny everything about her based on just a few photos. Don't you think that's too arbitrary? You've interacted with her before, does she seem like someone who doesn't take herself seriously?"

  "...All the anger in Ou Mu Xuan's heart was suppressed by her indignant words. Indeed, last time, he had misjudged Ye Xuan Mo so rashly. Now, he must get to the bottom of things,"Go on!"

  "What nonsense!" Gu Jiaxi suddenly stood up, "At least you are a dignified CEO, please believe others' words after bringing your brain next time!"

  The sound was not small, and in the quiet coffee shop, everyone's eyes turned to this side, including the pair of charming eyes on the secretly seated seat next to it.

  Those were icy blue eyes, as if they contained endless fascination, and they gazed at that elegant and beautiful woman with a playful taste.

  Ou Mu Xuan quietly drank her coffee, seemingly unaffected by the gazes of those around her. Scolded by her like that, his rationality seemed to have returned.

  "Enjoy your coffee slowly here, and don't forget to pay when you leave!" Gu Jiaxuan said bluntly, turning around to leave, but as soon as she turned around, her wrist was elegantly grasped by Ou Muxuan.

  Not far away, those icy eyes narrowed, and the gaze transformed into a deadly sharp sword in an instant!

  This was the second time he grasped her wrist, his palm still broad and giving her endless sense of security, only different from the first time, this time, his hand was warm as if it could soothe all unease.

  "Sit down!" The tone was calm, but carried a strong sense of command.

  After clearing her mind, Gu Jiaxi suddenly came to her senses. Wait, the man in front of her was her crush! She should maintain her usual beauty and pride in front of him, not stand there yelling like a shrew!

  Gu Jia sat back down with a huff, picked up the coffee cup beside her and took a big gulp. "Sorry, Ou Zong, I just... went a bit too far!"

  Ou Mu Xuan actually laughed lightly, not minding at all, "You and Ye Xiang Yu's personalities are really similar at times." The difference is that Gu Jia Chen knew to apologize after the fact, while Ye Xiang Yu still had an air of righteousness even when she clearly knew she was wrong.

  At this thought, Ou Mu Xuan's smile at the corner of his lips became even more radiant, with a perfect arc, and coupled with this stunning face, suddenly, Gu Jia Chen's heart skipped a beat!

  He is really handsome, much more so than all the male actors she has seen!

  "Wow, you're so charming!" Whenever she met a handsome man, Gu Jia would always give generous praise, "At least, in terms of appearance!"

  Ou Mu Xuan put away the smile on his face, picked up the coffee in his hand and asked, "Do you and Ye Xiang Mo judge people by their appearance?"

  "We're all appearance-conscious, can't stand people who are too ugly!" Gu Jia said without hesitation, "Every time I go to France to find my sister, one thing we often do is stand under the Eiffel Tower and look at the handsome guys passing by."

  Ou Mu Xuan frowned, what kind of hobby is this?

  "But when we encounter guys who hit on us, my sister always happily tells them that we're a lesbian couple, and watching those handsome guys' disappointed and disheartened faces is our greatest pleasure!"

  "......" Ou Mu Xuan's eyes twitched severely, this kind of reason, this kind of bad taste, indeed only that dead girl would think of it, "Your relationship seems to be very good."

  "Yeah, maybe it's because we have similar personalities, so there's always a feeling of 'it's great to finally meet you'! Gu Jiaxin took a sip of her coffee, "When I'm not busy with work, I'll fly to Paris to see her, I like being with her."

  "Why?"

  "Don't you think she's very warm?" Gu Jiaxi looked at the sunlight outside, "It's like a ball of sunshine, watching her work hard and make progress, obviously suffering and being wronged, but still putting on an extremely radiant expression, making people feel heartbroken and also feel very warm."

  "Cozy?"

  "Right, don't you think her smile is infectious?" Gu Jiaxi thought for a moment, "Whenever I'm exhausted or feel like giving up, she's the first person I think of. Her longing for dreams and the efforts she puts in always make me feel energized."

  Was it? Oumu Xuan thought back, the first time he saw her, she was indeed bright like a sunbeam, reflecting his coldness and making him feel dazzled.
