If Jun Yichen ever announced Chi Ai as his girlfriend in the future, people would twist the story.
They would say Su Xiang was the original one.
Or worse, they would accuse Jun Yichen of being a scumbag who played with women.
Either way, Su Xiang would achieve her goal of poisoning his reputation.
Chi Ai's fingers curled slightly at her side.
'Shameless,' she thought, fury surging hot and sharp in her chest. 'She really dares to go this far.'
For a brief moment, the urge to storm back into that room and drag Su Xiang out by her hair burned fiercely in her veins.
Before she could take a single step, Jun Yichen reached out and gently patted the back of her hand.
The warmth of his touch grounded her.
"Why are you losing your calm so badly today?" he asked quietly, his voice low and steady.
Chi Ai turned her head and looked at him, her eyes sharp and slightly dangerous.
"So you noticed?" she replied flatly.
