He put his arm on Ai Ruili’s shoulders and used the other to part the crowd .
Although he wasn’t blatantly being protective of Ai Ruili, at least he was shielding her .
The reporters clicked the cameras away, and the crowd snapped away furiously .
With the help of the security guards, Su Yan and Ai Ruili finally reached their car .
And they shook off the reporters and the crowd .
Su Yan peered ahead, looking aloof and impassive under the dim light .
Ai Ruili had a hunch that he was felt irritated and upset . So she cleared her throat and said, “President Su, I’m so sorry . I dragged you into this . ”
Su Yan nodded curtly . “I understand, as you’re a celebrity . ”
His tone had a hint of mockery… and Ai Ruili’s expression flinched . She clenched her fists and wanted to clear the air . But she didn’t dare to .
Finally, she pressed her lips and pointed ahead . “President Su, please stop at the junction ahead . I’ll get a taxi . ”
“Okay . ” Su Yan nodded, and he really did as she requested .
Ai Ruili got down and Su Yan interjected before she could close the door . “Next week, you need to go to Shanghai for a publicity shoot . Get ready . ”
Ai Ruili’s face registered surprise and she took some time to recover from it . She smiled and replied, “Okay . President Su, travel safe . ”
Su Yan didn’t reply and turned his face away . After Ai Ruili closed the door, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off .
Without a doubt, Su Yan and Ai Ruili hit the headlines the next morning .
Photos of them outside the restaurant circulated like wildfire online, and everyone was speculating about their relationship .
“Brother, are you really dating Ai Ruili?”
Su Yan put down the newspapers, and the door burst open . There were only two people in this world who would dare to barge in without his permission .
He grinned at Su Yue, who charged at him angrily . “You came here just to ask me this?”
Su Yue stood before Su Yan and frowned at his nonchalance and grin . “Is this a trivial matter?”
“Nope . ” Su Yan shook his head .
“Exactly . ” Su Yue pursed her lips . “Tell me . Are you dating Ai Ruili?”
Su Yan shook his head promptly . “No . ”
“Then why did you protect her?” Su Yue glanced at Su Yan, and she looked indignant .
She seemed displeased and annoyed by how he protected Ai Ruili yesterday .
She didn’t know why she was so jealous, but she attributed it to the fact that she didn’t like Ai Ruili .
Su Yan raised a brow . “So you think that your brother isn’t a gentleman?”
Su Yue rolled her eyes . “Tch . How could I believe that a man who broke a woman’s heart before would be gentlemanly enough to protect a scheming woman?”
She knew about how Ai Ruili had tricked Zhou Shuang and almost caused her to fall off a mountain .
Her impression of her got worse .
In her heart, Ai Ruili was the kind of woman who would resort to underhand methods to achieve what she wanted . She hated her .
At the Jiang’s house .
After the old master’s funeral, everyone looked hollowed and somber .
The family, which used to be lively and bustling, seemed to have gloominess cast over them like a dark cloud .
