Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Saving the Day_1

Not knowing what Ling Chao was saying, Luo Qi handed her phone to Ye Ranran, "It’s the Minister’s call."

Ye Ranran took it: "Minister, you looking for me?"

"I thought you had disappeared somewhere. I’ve called you a dozen times but you never answered." Ling Chao sounded frustrated.

"I didn’t hear it." Ye Ranran responded apologetically.

Upon hearing the calmness in her voice, Ling Chao knew the situation hadn’t affected her, and somewhat relieved, said "Hurry back."

Realizing the minister needed her to explain, a smile etched onto Ye Ranran’s lips: "Yes, I’m leaving right now."

After hanging up, Luo Qi asked her cautiously, "What did the minister say? Didn’t scold you, did he?"

"Nope, just told me to go back immediately," Ye Ranran picked up her bag.

Luo Qi stood up too, "I’ll go back with you."

Sadly, they were met by a wall of reporters as soon as they stepped out of the door.

"Designer Ye, are you involved in the leak of Huacan’s design drafts?"

"You had a dispute with S.Z Magazine over design drafts before, is there any connection between that and this current incident?"

"Did Designer Ye deliberately cause both incidents for publicity?"

...

The questions were increasingly piercing, microphones raised high, thrust towards Ye Ranran’s face.

Flash lights from cameras continuously flashed, capturing every single expression on Ye Ranran’s face.

People crowded around her forming a thick wall of bodies, no matter how much strength Ye Ranran summoned, she couldn’t break free.

Just when she felt lost, Che Hao forced his way through from outside, grabbing her hand, "Guys, let’s not jump to conclusions until the truth is clear."

Ye Ranran shook off his hand, her voice clear and her expression calm, "Once this issue is resolved, I’ll give everyone an explanation."

"What about the photos? Was it a digital manipulation?"

"Were you secretly meeting someone for a special reason?"

Che Hao’s tall figure shielded Ye Ranran partially as he pushed away the reporters in front, "Excuse us, we’re in a hurry."

"Che Hao, are you pursuing Designer Ye now?"

"Or are you already with her?"

Che Hao’s defense quickly turned him into the reporters’ new focus.

His response was always a straightforward "No comment."

However, this did not dampen the reporters’ enthusiasm as they fueled the wildfire of gossip.

But Che Hao didn’t care. All he did was protect Ye Ranran until they both got out.

"I’ll have someone take you home." Che Hao said.

Without thinking, Ye Ranran declined: "No, I can take a taxi myself."

"You think you can make it through?" Che Hao raised an eyebrow.

Luo Qi was still dealing with the press. Ye Ranran glanced back, then gritted her teeth and got in the car.

Just as Ye Ranran’s car was leaving, Jun Mochan arrived.

The reporters who were blocking her way now switched their focus to him.

By the time Jun Mochan broke through the crowd, Ye Ranran had already arrived at the company.

"Where did Ranran go?" Jun Mochan was about to make a call when he saw Luo Qi emerging from the crowd.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes disarrayed, like someone who had just been manhandled.

"She went back to the company, didn’t you know?" Luo Qi wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Without a word, Jun Mochan turned around and left.

Watching his rushed departure, envy filled Luo Qi’s eyes. Jun Mochan truly cared for Ye Ranran.

If she had a husband like this, she’d wake up smiling even in her dreams.
