One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

Chapter 2624: Rise in Public Opinion (1)

Her hand flew to cover her lips as she stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief. "Gao Nan, I…"

The man flashed her an indulgent smile then squeezed her other hand, with their interlocking fingers, and turned to face the sea of reporters. "I won't ever leave her alone again. She's been silently shouldering everything all this while, but from now onward, she'll never be alone!"

The moment his voice dropped, the camera lights began flashing away.

Onscreen, Gao Nan, like a passionate lover, was seen holding Ji Yan's hand. Regret and heartache were written all over his face, but more than that, his expression was overflowing with indulgence—something which had never appeared on his face.

The emotional actress still had a hand over her mouth as she gazed at him with tears streaming down her cheeks, then she embraced him tightly.

Snap, snap—

Image galleries were instantly filled.

Sitting before the TV, Xiao Xue stared at the screen dumbly. Her heart felt as if it was being ripped into pieces when she saw her ex hugging another woman.

She thought that she had completely put their relationship behind her, but oh boy, how wrong she was! The moment she saw him showering another woman the indulgence and the affection he had never once revealed to her despite dating for such a long time, she found herself to be a complete joke.

How dumb and foolish I was!

How could I have fallen for such a scumbag!

To think that I got played by such a vile man.

She could not take it lying down.

"We've been in a serious relationship for two months with marriage in mind, and our relationship has been stable all this while. I admit that I was momentarily blinded by beauty and lust; I betrayed her love and committed a sin that all mortal men will probably also commit, but I've come to realize over the past few days that this woman is the one I truly love."

He paused and then turned serious. "May I know if my words can be considered as the so-called evidence you guys wanted?"

Below the stage, a reporter raised his hand to ask. "Mr. Gao, may we know if what Ji Yan said earlier about Yun Shishi seducing you is true?"

"Yes!"

"Did Yun Shishi really extend such an amorous invitation to you?"

"Yes!"

"And you went ahead to meet her?"

"Yes!"

"Does that mean that the two of you really did the deed?"

Silence instantly descended upon the room.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were bulging wide as she stared right at the screen, which showed a close-up shot of the man's aloof face, and prayed hard that he would not do anything to hurt her friend.

Alas, the next second, she saw a strange smile unfolding on his face and he slowly nodded his head in feigned remorse. "…Yes!"

His answer sparked yet another uproar among the audience!

It was broadcasted live on all streaming devices and presented to the national television.

That reply was as good as pronouncing Yun Shishi as a third party!

"That son of a gun!" she screamed hysterically. She raised the teacup in her hand, wanting to smash it at the guy's onscreen face.

Her friend immediately stopped her. "Calm down, Xiao Xue."

"How can I still keep my composure at this point?" She was seething so much tears pooled in her eyes. "How could he do this to you? That's slander! The two of them are fabricating stories about you! What motive does he have?"
