Chapter 64 - 64 The Eve of the Storm

    An Junxi let out a scream and fell under the seat. Gu Yikun''s car was big enough; even when she lay down, there was still a lot of space, and she couldn''t find anything to help her get up for a while.

    Gu Yikun watched this farcical scene with delight shimmering in his eyes. This woman, is she always this clumsy?

    Just as he was about to kindly give her a hand, An Junxi grabbed his pants and climbed up by hugging his calf.

    A strange feeling surged in Gu Yikun''s heart. He withdrew his hand and quietly watched her.

    An Junxi''s mind was a bit dazed. She grabbed something to sit up and hugged that stable support for a while. Then she heard a voice above her head saying, "How long do you plan to hug my leg?"

    An Junxi looked up and saw Gu Yikun''s face full of meaning. Only then did she realize she was hugging his calf!

    Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!

    An Junxi immediately let go, opened the car door, grabbed her stuff, and ran off, "I''m almost late, Mr. Gu, goodbye!"

    Gu Yikun watched her run into the building like a rabbit and couldn''t help but laugh out loud.

    The shoulders of Xiao Liu in the front also shook as he tried hard to suppress his laughter.

    Gu Yikun knocked on the seat partition, and his voice returned to its usual coldness, "Drive."

    Xiao Liu dared not laugh anymore. He sat up straight and started the car.

    An Junxi ran to her seat in one breath. Lin Yuanqing was already there. Seeing An Junxi''s flushed face from running, she weirdly said, "Jun Xi, there are still twenty minutes before you''re late, why are you in such a hurry?"

    An Junxi sat there, not hearing anything Lin Yuanqing said. She held her face in her hands, recalling that incredibly awkward moment just now, and really wanted to bang her head against a wall.

    Why do I always embarrass myself in front of Gu Yikun?

    She picked up a cup intending to get some water from the tea room. At the door, the sound of high heels walking quickly came, and at the same time, the desk phone rang. An Junxi saw the screen indicating it was a call from her senior sister.

    She hadn''t had a chance to answer the phone when she heard Gong Xiaoyu urgently saying in the hallway, "Why isn''t she answering the phone? Pick up the phone quickly!"

    Lin Yuanqing immediately knew it was Gong Xiaoyu. She looked at An Junxi and said, "The boss is looking for you so urgently, what happened?"

    An Junxi shook her head. She walked to the door and saw Gong Xiaoyu walking quickly while looking at her phone, anxiously muttering, "Jun Xi, pick up the phone!"

    An Junxi asked curiously, "Senior sister, I''m here. What''s so urgent?"

    Gong Xiaoyu ran over as soon as she saw An Junxi. She grabbed her arm, her lips trembling with urgency, "Something happened, Jun Xi. Did you see the news this morning?"

    An Junxi didn''t have the habit of checking the news in the morning. "I haven''t had time yet."

    At this moment, Lin Yuanqing inside also shouted, "Jun Xi, you''re on the news!"

    An Junxi quickly walked over. On Lin Yuanqing''s computer screen was a glaring headline: "Gu Group President''s Secret Lover," and the photos were of Gu Yikun holding her in the parking lot last night!

    The photos were a three-shot series, showing Gu Yikun carrying her into the car, each photo clearly showing her face. Her dress was a bit disheveled, and back then, Gu Yikun was both furious and inscrutable, giving reporters plenty of room for speculation.

    An Junxi grabbed the mouse and scrolled down the page, skimming the content. It said that President Gu was impatiently taking her away from the hotel for some unspeakable purpose?

    An Junxi cursed, "What a load of rubbish!"

    She clicked on other pages and found that this issue had exploded on major websites. What drove An Junxi to lose her composure the most was a striking headline from the media, "Fickle An Junxi Snags Two Golden Bachelors at Once."

    She saw comments from netizens, filled with curses against her. Some pages even called for her personal information to be exposed.

    An Junxi realized the gravity of the situation. Her first reaction was to find Gu Yikun.

    Gong Xiaoyu grabbed An Junxi''s shoulders, making her look at herself, and said, "Jun Xi, listen to me calmly. I checked the news as soon as I saw it this morning. The post was made at around five a.m. Initially, it wasn''t a hot topic, but by seven a.m., a netizen revealed that you are Young Master Yin of the Senye Group''s fiance?e. You''ve met the parents and were talking about marriage, yet you got involved with President Gu. This made people mad... because of this, the news spread incredibly fast. Now major websites and forums are all hotly discussing this, and you are a key target of netizens'' criticism. On my way to work, I feared reporters would camp out downstairs at the company, but thankfully, they haven''t yet!"

    It''s still early. By noon, the online discussion will be even more intense. Within a day, An Junxi''s personal details could be fully uncovered.

    It''s really easy for online bullying to destroy a person!

    An Junxi felt chaotic inside. She had managed quite a few crises for the company before, but those were nothing compared to this!

    Who is Gu Yikun? Who is Yin Feibai? They are heirs to a century-old family in the country! The topics involving these two are major events, let alone she is the core of this storm!

    She is just an ordinary office worker. If this matter is not handled correctly, she really would have no place to hide!

    An Junxi said, "Senior sister, what about the company''s public relations..."

    "Forget about the company for now, find President Gu first!" Gong Xiaoyu took An Junxi''s phone, found Gu Yikun''s number in her contact list, and dialed it.

    The phone rang for a while before being answered. Gu Yikun''s voice came through, "What''s up?"

    Gong Xiaoyu handed the phone to An Junxi, who finally came to her senses. She said, "Mr. Gu, I saw the news..."

    "I know," Gu Yikun interrupted her. He asked, "Are there any reporters at your company?"

    An Junxi froze and said, "No."

    "That''s good. I''ll handle it, you don''t need to worry."

    An Junxi feared he would hang up, so she quickly asked, "When did you find out?" His voice sounded so nonchalant as if nothing had happened!

    Gu Yikun''s tone was relaxed, "I knew as soon as I woke up this morning." He finished and hung up.

    An Junxi stood there dumbfounded. He knew since he woke up this morning, yet he was as calm as a mountain?

    In contrast, she, who just found out, was panicking like crazy!

    No wonder he insisted on driving her to the company today and carefully inspected the surroundings. He was worried there might be reporters staking out.

    She believed Gu Yikun must have done something, which is why it''s still calm on her side. Otherwise, she would''ve been swarmed by reporters by now.

    She recalled chatting with Jin Xiu on the way to work, while Gu Yikun was busy checking his tablet and phone, probably dealing with this mess.

    An Junxi''s frantic mind gradually calmed down. When she knew nothing, Gu Yikun had already taken care of the storm for her, so what was there to fear?

    She decided to trust him.

    Gong Xiaoyu, seeing how calm An Junxi was, anxiously asked, "What did President Gu say?"
