Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 68 - 68 It's All an Act

Gu Yikun's words were like dropping an atomic bomb on the plains, causing a stir among the reporters.

The next wave of questions became unstoppable: "Isn't this lady the fiancée of Yin Shaodong?"

"President Gu, we heard that this lady has already met Yin Shaodong's parents?"

"President Gu, when did you and this lady start your romantic relationship?"

"President Gu, you have not been involved in any romantic scandals for years, so are you serious about this relationship?"

"President Gu, can you share what particularly attracts you to Miss An?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Gu Yikun hugged An Junxi tightly, shielding her from the continuous flashes with one hand. As he slowly walked her towards the building, he said, "At the academy of drama, it was said that she was Yin Shaodong's fiancée just because it was required for a graduation play. You believe that?"

Gu Yikun's cold questioning suppressed the heat of the situation; the reporters were left staring wide-eyed. Is such a thing even possible?

Whether they believed it or not, none of them dared to block President Gu's way, and they all made a path for the two to walk through.

Gu Yikun guided An Junxi to the entrance of the building, turned around, and said, "It's as simple as that. I hope everyone stops writing nonsense. Also, the Gu Family and Senye have always had a friendly relationship. It's completely normal for my girlfriend to be photographed and for Yin Shaodong to show support."

There was silence at the scene, as if everyone found it logical but still sensed something was off.

However, President Gu's aura was too strong; no one dared to question his words publicly or ask any more questions.

At this moment, Yin Feibai came out to greet them. He patted Gu Yikun on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, you're here."

Gu Yikun gave a symbolic punch on Yin Feibai's shoulder, looking like good friends, "Look at the trouble you've caused, aren't you going to clarify it?" Then, he took An Junxi inside, leaving Yin Feibai to face the barrage of reporters.

Yin Feibai gritted his teeth secretly; wasn't this guy going too far? They had agreed to act together, yet he left him behind!

Still, he forced a charming smile and bantered with the media, "Thank you for your concern, dear media. We were indeed staging a play at the academy of drama. Originally, we intended to take some plot photos, but who knew it would spread so absurdly. Yi Ke has been single for several years. If he wants to remarry, our Yin Family would support it. Please don't focus too much on his private life. My nephew also needs a new mother, right?"

The rumored discord between Senye and the Gu Family had always been a hot topic, especially after the death of the Gu Family's eldest daughter, causing the rumors to intensify. There were even speculations saying the death of the eldest daughter was not so simple, which significantly affected the stock prices of both Senye and the Gu Family.

However, after today, this situation should improve, as the interaction between President Gu and Yin Shaodong in front of the media was quite convincing, showing that the relationship between the two families hadn't changed due to the death of the eldest daughter.

Now that President Gu had a girlfriend, the Yin Family appeared to support this publicly. The real reasons were only known to those involved, but on the surface, it was handled well without giving the media any space for further speculation.

Yin Feibai's response managed to satisfy the media's curiosity for gossip. As soon as he finished, he quickly slipped away, leaving the public relations team of Senye to handle the rest.

Yin Feibai stormed up to his office, finding Gu Yikun leisurely drinking coffee with An Junxi tinkering with a camera next to him. He was not calm, "I left the camera in the lounge. Did you enter my office and rummage through my stuff without permission?"

This was his territory; could Gu Yikun show a bit of respect?

President Gu ignored him, but his secretary chimed in, "General Manager, I gave the camera to President Gu..." He looked distressed; President Gu said the General Manager asked him to take out the camera. He didn't think much about it and just followed orders. After all, it was President Gu who spoke; who dared to refuse?

Yin Feibai wanted to strangle his secretary, "Get out!"

If his father hadn't prohibited him from hiring young, beautiful girls, he wouldn't have a man trailing him every day. If a pretty girl made a mistake, he could forgive her, but to deal with this man every day... No General Manager was more aggrieved than he was!

Yin Feibai threw himself onto the sofa, loosened his tie, and took a few breaths.

He had always resented Gu Yikun, but he couldn't deny that Gu Yikun was now the master of the Gu Family, while he was still a General Manager under his father's control. The gap was vast and infuriating.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Yikun placed his cup on the coffee table and stood up, "Prepare for the meeting," he said, and walked out of the office first.

Yin Feibai felt a rage blocking his chest, almost suffocating himself, "Gu Yikun, this is Senye, not your Gu Family! Why do you boss me around?"

Gu Yikun walked away without hearing his question, leaving Yin Feibai feeling like a fool talking to the air.

He collapsed back on the sofa, knowing this was just the prelude. Gu Yikun would definitely make things difficult for him in the meeting. He was in for a rough time!

Could it be that the prank call he made to Gu Yikun was now being avenged so quickly?

Damn it, so petty, not manly at all!

An Junxi didn't know what business dealings were between the Gu Family and Senye. Seeing Gu Yikun taking the upper hand and ordering Yin Feibai around, she pitied Yin Feibai for about three seconds. But it was just three seconds; that scoundrel didn't deserve her sympathy.

Yin Feibai sought sympathy from An Junxi, "Jun Xi, it must be tough living under the same roof with that guy all the time. If you want to move out, I can always provide a better environment than the Gu Family's."

Yin Feibai's words only ignited An Junxi's anger, "Why should I live in Yin Shaodong's big house? How much does Yin Shaodong plan to spend to keep me?"

Yin Feibai sighed dramatically, "I told you, the words from that hotel were said without thinking. Do you have to hold a grudge so much?" Each word pierced his heart more deeply than dealing with Gu Yikun.

An Junxi gave a cold snort, "Young Master Yin, I'm not close with you. Go and mind your own business, don't bother me."

Yin Feibai touched his nose as his secretary came in to remind him of the meeting, forcing him to straighten his clothes and head to the conference room.

Although the marriage alliance between Senye and the Gu Family sacrificed his sister's happiness, and he wished to beat that Gu guy to death, continued cooperation was essential, so he endured.

An Junxi looked at the photos in Yin Feibai's office. After finishing one round of selection, an hour had nearly passed.

How long was their meeting going to last?

An Junxi stood up to stretch her legs. As she ventured out to find the restroom, she wandered around the floor for a while. Passing by a room near the conference room, she heard Gu Yikun's voice inside.

The conference room was ahead; shouldn't Gu Yikun be in the meeting? What was he doing here?

She stepped closer and heard Yin Feibai say, "We've acted enough for the cameras. Next, our public relations and media will release some articles promoting the cooperation between the Gu Family and Senye. I believe no one will spread rumors about our discord again, and your plans in South America can proceed as scheduled."

Gu Yikun replied, "Leave the public relations to the Gu Family; I don't trust Senye."

Yin Feibai gritted his teeth, "Gu Yikun!"

Gu Yikun continued, "Initiative is with me. If I hadn't admitted An Junxi as my girlfriend, no amount of your efforts could achieve this publicity effect."

Yin Feibai sneered, "President Gu can even use his personal life; of course, I can't compare."

"To each his own," Gu Yikun said.

An Junxi stood there in shock. So, his acknowledgment of their relationship before the media was just for publicity and the company's development plans?
