100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 107 Where Are My Claws_1

"Don’t worry, I haven’t done anything illegal."

"I don’t care about you."

Gong Xiaoqiao muttered under her breath, she knew he was lying—who would believe that! The man just now had screamed like a pig being slaughtered...

Looking at the snacks in her hand, Gong Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered, "By the way, Gu Hangshen, where are my claws?"

"I bought them, they’re in your room, didn’t you see them?"

"No."

"I’ll go back and show them to you."

The wind was strong at night, and she was shivering from the cold, despite her craving to go out for some snacks, which she normally would have had Gu Hangshen fetch for her.

Gu Hangshen wrapped his arms around her to shield her from the wind, and Gong Xiaoqiao bounced out of his embrace without trace, "Hurry up, Gu Hangshen, I’m freezing to death."

Some things, when glossed over, don’t mean they’re truly flawless.

Covering up only makes it more conspicuous, pretending the cracks don’t exist...

The more she acted indifferent, the more anxious he became...

A month later, after the filming in D City was finished, the entire crew returned to A City.

"The World Without Demons", the show that hadn’t even aired yet, was already making headlines with related reports and gossip flooding the media.

From obscurity, Gong Xiaoqiao had risen to become a rising star.

The ambiguous relationship between Gong Xiaoqiao, who parachuted in as the female lead, and both the scriptwriter and the male lead, also fueled the public’s passion for gossip to a great extent. The outside world had mixed opinions about her, but she received unanimous praise within the drama crew.

Feng Sxia didn’t bother to clarify publicly about the doubts concerning the acting skills of the female lead, confident that once the show aired, all viewers’ doubts would disappear like smoke.

Coastal villa.

Several magazines lay on the coffee table in the living room.

Some of the content in those entertainment weeklies was quite exaggerated, and what was written in some of the more third-rate gossip magazines was even more unsightly.

Qin Yao sat on the sofa, with Mother Gu sitting opposite him, her face grave, "Qin Yao, what is this all about?"

Qin Yao glanced at those magazines, "Auntie, this is just a publicity stunt."

"Publicity? I’m not opposed to you investing in the entertainment industry, but you have to consider your own status. You’re not only the heir to Qin Corporation but also Xiao Rou’s fiancé. At this time, to be involved in a scandal with an actress, how do you expect Xiao Rou to feel? And that actress happens to be Xiaoqiao! Did you do this unintentionally, or was it your intention from the start..."

"Auntie, you are overthinking it. This is entirely a coincidence. I did not know beforehand that Xiaoqiao got into the crew through Jinmulin’s recommendation. She won the lead role purely based on her acting, which has nothing to do with me.

As her good friend, of course, I will look out for her more sometimes. As for what those magazines write, some of it is deliberate hype by us, while some absurd stories are just methods used by magazines to increase sales.

I understand my current situation, yet, even if Xiao Rou and I were married now, such issues are likely to arise in the future.

I believe Xiao Rou, as my wife, will support my work and will understand and trust me. If we cannot withstand these tests between us, I think we may not need to be together at all!"

Qin Yao’s words left Mother Gu speechless. Always amiable, it was unexpected of him to also have such an aggressive side, but what he said did make some sense.

Moreover, it seemed that Xiaoqiao wasn’t that kind of person...

Still, she couldn’t put her anxieties to rest. After all, Qin Yao and Xiaoqiao shared a past, and how could she fully be at ease!
