The female hotel receptionist was a bit confused. She didn't expect that even Gu Fengliu would reprimand her for almost causing a big calamity. However, the receptionist felt relieved as she sensed the powerful aura and icy deanor of Ye Qingcheng. How could a person with such an aura be simple?
"So it's really you!"
Ye Qingcheng looked at Gu Fengliu coldly. She would never forget his familiar face, after all, during the title conferring ceremony at the Holy Capital Imperial Palace, Gu Fengliu saved her and fought the Saint Emperor. What a spectacle it was!
"Miss Ye, it's been a while!" Gu Fengliu's eyes flickered slightly, followed by a gentle smile. Ye Qingcheng continued, "Thank you for saving back then. I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"
"It was my duty!"
"However, so things need to be clarified. I hope President Gu can tell plainly; I would be extrely grateful!" Ye Qingcheng spoke humbly.
"Miss Ye, rest assured, I will tell you everything I know without reservation!" Gu Fengliu was straightforward indeed.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, many hotel staff were stunned as they looked at Gu Fengliu. Is this still the sa suave and awe-inspiring President Gu we know? Why do I feel like there's a hint of brown-nosing in his words?
President Gu, are you serious?
Gu Fengliu seed to sense the strange gazes around him, and so he smiled and said, "Miss Ye, may we speak further?"
"I don't mind!" Ye Qingcheng nodded.
"Please!" Gu Fengliu made a gesture of invitation, and soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, they left the lobby and entered the elevator.
"Whoa, who is that ice goddess? How can she make our President Gu show such respect? Could she be the President's Wife?"
"Stop joking, look at her powerful aura and queen-like deanor, not sothing an ordinary woman should possess. Most importantly, her peerless beauty; is there anyone other than our Young Master Xiao who deserves to match her?"
"You have a point there!"
"So, does this an we have to call her the President's Wife from now on?"
"Isn't 'President's Wife' too plain? It should be 'Madam President'!"
"..."
After Ye Qingcheng and Gu Fengliu left the lobby, many staff gathered around and started speculating about Ye Qingcheng's identity. After all, the only one in the Immortal Realm who could command such respect from Gu Fengliu was the legendary CEO Xiao Tianyu.
Ding~
The elevator door opened, and Ye Qingcheng and Gu Fengliu walked out together, encountering several senior departnt managers head-on.
"President Gu, when did you get a girlfriend? You're quite mysterious!"
"Yeah, President Gu, when can we have a drink at your wedding?"
"Damn, President Gu's girlfriend is really..."
Thump~
Before the last person's words were finished, Gu Fengliu suddenly stumbled, almost falling to the ground, leaving the departnt managers stunned. Damn, finding a pretty girlfriend doesn't require such an excited reaction!
Besides, we won't steal her from you.
"Later, all of you go reflect on your mistakes and face a month's salary deduction!" Gu Fengliu coldly snorted, these guys daring to ss with ?
What's going on?
Upon hearing this, the departnt managers were quite frustrated. Did we say sothing wrong? President Gu, we just want to know where we erred, why deduct our salaries and have us reflect?
"..."
The departnt managers were speechless, was this what they call getting hit by stray bullets while lying down?
They had intended to flatter him, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
Then, Gu Fengliu smiled lightly at Ye Qingcheng and said, "Miss Ye, don't misunderstand, these idiots just can't control their mouths, I'll deal with them later. Please, Miss Ye!"
"It's okay!" Ye Qingcheng replied indifferently.
As they were leaving, Gu Fengliu cast a deep gaze at the departnt managers, leaving them utterly confused. Did we say sothing wrong?
Soon, Ye Qingcheng and Gu Fengliu arrived at the general manager's office.
Ye Qingcheng sat on the sofa, her icy gaze fixed on Gu Fengliu, making him feel uneasy, and he quickly looked away, saying, "I'll go make Miss Ye a cup of coffee!"
"No need!" Ye Qingcheng shook her head and continued, "I just want to know one thing!"
"Please, go ahead!"
"Was it your President Xiao Tianyu who saved at the Holy Capital Imperial Palace?"
"This..."
"You promised to speak without reservation!" Ye Qingcheng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fengliu was dumbfounded. Why did my mouth have to be so troubleso earlier!
But after hesitating for a while, he said, "I really don't know!"
"Is it not knowing, or not daring to say?" Ye Qingcheng countered.
"Perhaps you should ask the President directly." Gu Fengliu suggested.
Buzz~
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qingcheng's mind buzzed. Was the person who killed the Saint Emperor with one palm really him?
Ye Qingcheng wasn't foolish; she could naturally hear the implication in Gu Fengliu's words, and from that, she was already certain that the one who saved her was Xiao Tianyu. But, if that's the case, how powerful is Xiao Tianyu's cultivation, and why did he save her? What's the purpose?
I don't understand!
Confused!
For a mont, Ye Qingcheng simply couldn't make sense of it all. If Xiao Tianyu was indeed the one who saved her, does that an his cultivation surpasses that of the Great Emperor?
Why save her, and with what intention? Is it because he harbors feelings for her?
A series of thoughts flashed in Ye Qingcheng's mind. Initially, she thought once she reached Martial King level, she could challenge Xiao Tianyu, but now? Xiao Tianyu could kill an Emperor with a re gesture; how could she avenge the humiliation?
How to make Xiao Tianyu regret rejecting her genuine feelings back then?
Why is he so strong?
At this mont, Ye Qingcheng seed to realize that there was still a sky-high divide between her and Xiao Tianyu, like an insurmountable chasm.
One might say, now Ye Qingcheng's heart was a mix of emotions; she wasn't sure whether it was joy or sorrow.
After all, Xiao Tianyu had once humiliated her with no rcy, making her feel worthless. But now, he saves her; does this an he still holds feelings for her?
If so, how should Ye Qingcheng accept that?
Is she just a worthless piece of garbage to be picked up and thrown away at will?
"Excuse !" Ye Qingcheng bowed to Gu Fengliu, then turned to leave the office. Gu Fengliu imdiately said, "I'll see you out!"
"No need!" Ye Qingcheng refused, and her figure had already disappeared down the hallway, leaving Gu Fengliu bewildered, thinking, Young Master Xiao, I was forced into this, don't bla .
...
Celestial Capital Imperial Palace.
At this mont, nurous officials were gathered in the palace, with the Celestial Emperor sitting majestically on the top throne.
