Chapter 433: 475, come clean, you two...

Just as the media controversy was growing louder, with people expecting Hong’an Group to make a statement about the plagiarism incident, Hong’an Group finally made an announcement in the afternoon.

The blame was pinned on the designer, Fang Ru. As the saying goes, to remove the radish is to pull out the mud with it, Wu Minli also got dragged into the mess. From then on, neither of them would be able to make it in the design world anymore.

In truth, anyone with clear eyes could see that Fang Ru was merely a scapegoat. However, the fact that Guohe Group’s designs were stolen is indisputable. Under such circumstances, Guohe Group’s designs still came out on top, and An Xiaoyu’s contribution was indispensable.

Moreover, the fact that Hong’an Group had stooped to plagiarizing Guohe Group’s designs inadvertently highlighted Guohe Group’s strength, thereby boosting Guohe Group’s prestige in the architectural design community from another aspect.

This time, An Xiaoyu became the hero and naturally received due recognition. Bai Mingxuan felt that An Xiaoyu was simply a lucky star.

That afternoon, An Xiaoyu received a call from Tong Xi.

"Babe, I just woke up. Are we on for tonight?" Tong Xi’s voice sounded very excited.

An Xiaoyu laughed.

"Let’s have dinner together tonight. We can skip the bar, but... going for some karaoke after dinner sounds good!"

Tong Xi clicked her tongue in disapproval.

"I see how it is now. Now that you’ve got a husband, you’re being kept on a tight leash and turned into a proper housewife!"

"Cut it out, will you!"

"Alright, alright, no more teasing. I’ll wait for you to get off work tonight! I’ll drive over to pick you up!"

An Xiaoyu agreed, then called Shen Yufeng, who said, "Then have a good time with Tong Xi tonight, and give me a call afterward!"

An Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "If it gets too late, you don’t have to pick me up. It might be more convenient for me and Tong Xi to just go back to my old apartment to stay."

Shen Yufeng raised an eyebrow, "So quick to stay out all night?"

An Xiaoyu: "..."

She was just going to be with Tong Xi, not some other man. This guy, could he really be jealous of Tong Xi?

"Didn’t you have trips away from home in the past? Wasn’t I at home alone then? Ah, just pretend I’m on a business trip!"

This time it was Shen Yufeng’s turn to be lost for words.

His wife... was really good at making excuses!

After An Xiaoyu got off work, sure enough, she saw Tong Xi waiting for her in her smart car by the roadside. And in the car, there were gifts Tong Xi had bought for An Xiaoyu from M country.

"Babe, what do you want to eat? It’s my treat today!"

"Then, let’s go have hotpot!"

Tong Xi made a face, "Is that all you aspire for?"

"As long as I like it! Besides, it’s getting cooler now, perfect for hotpot!"

"Then... why don’t we just buy the ingredients and go back home to eat? That’s much more comfortable!"

"Yeah, that sounds good!"

So the two of them headed straight for the supermarket, bought lamb and lots of ingredients, and Tong Xi also picked up a bottle of red wine on the way to the small apartment that An Xiaoyu used to rent.

The two of them worked together, and soon the hotpot was ready. All the meat and vegetables were neatly arranged on plates, and they started eating.

The room was filled with steam, yet it felt so cozy.

While eating, Tong Xi asked, "Hey, Xiaoyu, did you know? This morning when I called you, it was actually God himself who answered the phone. Do you know what he said first? He said you were still sleeping! I was dumbfounded at the moment, and only later did it hit me!"

Tong Xi spoke and sighed, "Honestly, I’m still not quite used to you being a married woman! I always feel like someone has whisked you away from me!"

An Xiaoyu smiled, "Cut it out, you’re overthinking it. I’m still me!"

Tong Xi looked at An Xiaoyu’s face, her eyes spinning mischievously, and gave An Xiaoyu a sly smile.

"Come clean, did you two... do anything last night?"
