Inheriting Billions After Being Retrenched

Chapter 57: Totally Smitten

Netizens: KO! Ke’s fans were once again doubly slapped from the shame!!

How embarrassing was it, that an exposé on his love affair could not even hold its place on trending topics?

Everyone was busy envying Luo Qiao’s charming life as they searched for more information on the Ming Corporation CEO, Ming Siran. They tried to look for his photographs again so that they could drool over him. However, within a space of ten minutes, all these entries on trending topics were suddenly removed.

Netizens: ????

Great, this absolutely confirms his identity!

But… this wasn’t the first time he made the trending topics. The previous entries were on the list for hours and they were not removed. So why had they been removed so quickly now?

Just because his true identity had been revealed?

At this point, the netizens commented:

[Whispers… Did Daddy Ming put himself on trending topics just to refute these rumors about Sister Qiao? Ke’s fans insulted Sister Qiao and called her a stalker and pervert, and even said she paid for the services of a gigolo. Sister Qiao said her ex-boyfriend is better looking than Ke Bozhou. This was followed by Daddy Ming exposing his own true identity. Was it all done for the sake of helping Sister Qiao deal with these people?]

[Person above!! F*ck me… I’m freaking smitten!!!]

[I love this couple! I freaking love them! The lady and the CEO’s classy love affair and all… sob, sob, sob… I can just imagine the love story.]

Everyone was stirred up by the netizen’s comment, to the extent that even when Ke Bozhou’s studio released a statement to refute the rumors, it was met with a lukewarm response from everyone.

All of a sudden, they lost interest in even discussing it.

At this point, Ke Bozhou, who didn’t seem like he had much staying power at the top of the trending topics, whether it was for the exposé on his love life or refuting the rumors, turned red with anger.

His manager advised him, “I’ve told you not to cross these wealthy people. What good will it do you even if you were to win?”

What could he even say? Ke Bozhou’s expression turned gloomy and he did not reply.

“We’re about to commence with the filming of the variety show. Pull yourself together and put on a good performance. As long as you don’t go courting trouble, you won’t lose your fans so easily. Take the present situation as an example, no one would believe it when Luo Qiao spilled that you were romantically involved with someone. Look after your own back, and even Luo Qiao won’t be able to do anything to you, you hear me?”

Ke Bozhou frowned and replied gloomily, “Yeah, I understand.”

“Whatever it is, keep a distance between yourself and Tang Moqi. If your relationship gets exposed, that will be the end.”

“Got it.”

…

In the evening, after work, Luo Qiao made a trip to her parents’ home. Her mother was still traveling with her elder brother and they would only be home at the month’s end. So only Boss Luo was alone at home.

After having dinner with her father, she headed home, taking with her two bottles of good wine.

It was 9 in the evening by the time she got home. Ming Siran had been back for a while and was working in the study.

Luo Qiao swung round to the study and popped her head in, asking, “Are you busy, ex-boyfriend?”

Ming Siran lifted his head to glance at her. He couldn’t help but smile as he replied, “What’s up, ex-girlfriend?”

She wore her hair in a ponytail and looked like a high school student with her tiny, fair-skinned face. As she placed the red wine on his desk, she said, “Here’s some good wine for you.”

Although she didn’t know much about wines, her father did. Every bottle in the wine cellar was nothing short of renowned. The ones she brought home was to thank him for what he had done today.

He swept his gaze over the bottle and said, looking a little hesitant, “I have to work now, I can’t drink with you…”

“What? I wasn’t planning to have a drink with you.”

Ming Siran: “…”

After a moment she continued, “Keep working. I’ll be having a drink by myself, I’ve got my own bottle so don’t worry!” Having said that, she didn’t wish to interrupt his work further and turned to go.

“…”

The man drew in a deep breath. He pressed down on his own forehead with a hand to calm himself down. Just as he was about to start working, his eyes fell on the bottle. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he reached out for it.

…This wine was high in alcohol content.

Was she able to handle it?
