Gan Qi quickly parked the electric scooter in an inconspicuous corner.

She had never been so nervous before.

Fortunately, Tao Xixi keeps a close eye on online information. So far, only someone in the comments section has revealed the model of the electric scooter; people offline haven't noticed this detail yet.

In her panic, Gan Qi didn't forget to pay the magazine to the shop owner and carefully stuff the magazine into her pocket.

There are still many details I haven't had time to see!

"Gan Qi, this!!! Get in the car quickly!"

Within minutes, Tao Xixi drove her lemon-yellow car at breakneck speed, stopped at the intersection, and immediately opened the car door.

"Come on up, come on up quickly."

Gan Qi's movements were swift and efficient.

Like thieves in a crime movie evading police pursuit, Gan Qi closed the car door as quickly as possible, practically lying on the back seat.

She never took off her pink helmet.

She only regained her sense of security after getting into her best friend's car.

Ganqi let out a long sigh and took off her helmet with trembling fingers.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and several strands of her hair were plastered to her face.

"How could this happen? Xixi, everything was normal yesterday, how come there's suddenly such news today?"

Tao Xixi drove cautiously, "Who knows! Those paparazzi are incredibly resourceful; they might uncover this secret sometime soon!"

This is like a depth charge.

"I was stunned when I saw the news this morning."

Gan Qi quickly sat up straight, opened the magazine she had just read, and began flipping through it.

She felt terrified every time she looked at the pictures inside the magazine.

If the photos had been taken even slightly clearer, she definitely wouldn't have escaped anyone's notice today.

"We were about to get divorced, why did it have to happen now..."

Gan Qi was completely baffled.

"The person who broke the news knew where I worked, knew I was an ordinary person, and even dug up my family background when I was born... How come he didn't find out that Mr. Meng and I were going through a divorce?"

Tao Xixi: "I reckon they've already found out! They're just deliberately keeping quiet."

The magazine highlighted the contrast of Young Master Meng's secret marriage, noting that such a top-tier, high-quality man had married an ordinary, unattractive woman.

"This is standard practice for these media outlets! In order to boost magazine sales and fetch a good price for insider information, they release explosive news bit by bit, like squeezing toothpaste."

Tao Xixi clearly knows a lot.

"You have no idea how much the netizens are cursing you."

The comments section was a mess, with many saying that Young Master Meng had been misled!

Some say this mysterious woman is insatiable, and that she used some underhanded methods; others say she's deliberately trying to hook up with rich men! Still others say she came from a socialite training program.

Gan Qi was completely bewildered when Tao Xixi recounted these events.

She flipped through the magazine again, picked up her phone, but didn't dare browse the news pages at all.

"Gan Qi, don't be afraid. You two got married properly, not having an affair. Don't pay attention to what those gossipy netizens say! They're just being jealous."

Gan Qi calmed down, and after a long while, said:

"I suspect... someone deliberately released this message."

"Ok?"

"I suspect that it was someone close to Mr. Meng who leaked it."

Tao Xixi: "You mean, this was at your husband's behest?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Originally, Gan Qi thought that Meng Yan was always upright and would not do such a thing.

However, given the separation over the past few days, coupled with that exhausting meal yesterday... it's possible that he might have arranged some underhanded tactics for his subordinates after returning home.

He's Young Master Meng, after all. Given his control over the media, how could such news be released so easily?

Tao Xixi: "Uh... it shouldn't be him. Young Master Meng is always reliable in his actions. I feel that he wouldn't do such a thing behind the scenes."

“Oh, Gan Qi! You don’t know how crazy gossip reporters are these days. They’re crazy about getting headlines and trending! Don’t put that label on Mr. Meng yet.”

Actually, Tao Xixi was intentionally trying to exonerate Meng Shao. So what if he released him himself?

They've made it clear they don't want a divorce.

If someone were to use their limited power to obstruct the divorce proceedings... that would be understandable, wouldn't it?

But on the surface, Tao Xixi still has to stand on her best friend's side.

She hopes her best friend and Meng Shao can continue their relationship and tries her best to mediate between them.

Gan Qi took a deep breath.

She found the whole thing very strange, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt it was inextricably linked to her soon-to-be-divorced husband!

"What I'm worried about now is... if even my workplace has been exposed, wouldn't my place of residence be even more dangerous?"

Does this mean she's going to move again soon?

"No!"

Tao Xixi knows a lot about this stuff.

"Actually, gossip news has its limits. At most, they'll reveal your office building location. But if they reveal your home address, that could lead to a lawsuit, since it violates your privacy rights! Normal gossip editors wouldn't dare do that. Don't worry!!!"

"Is it……"

Gan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Xixi: "Anyway, you need to be careful these next few days, and we shouldn't go to work anymore."

"Then what about my work?"

"What time is it and you're still thinking about work? Aren't you afraid those women will surround you and drown you in their spittle?"

"Hey!"

There must have been a lot of people staking out the area around the studio lately.

Gan Qi felt it was best to stay home for the next few days.

Ugh, my head hurts, it's so uncomfortable!

She anxiously scratched her hair with her fingers.

How could things have suddenly developed like this?

She really wished this was a dream.

At that moment, Tao Xixi suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, although that candid photo of you in the gossip is blurry, people who know you well might recognize you at a glance. Plus, your work address has been exposed, so it's easy for them to make connections... Oh my god!"

Tao Xixi and Gan Qi suddenly thought of something at the same time, as if their brainwaves were colliding.

There are her photos, her workplace, and a brief overview of her family background...

For those familiar with Gan Qi, it's almost as if they're calling her by name!

Wenwen is fine; she already knows Meng Yan's identity. As for her uncle and aunt... she just hopes they won't pay attention to news on the internet.

But it's alright, even if there are suspicions, Wenwen will definitely help cover for us.

Who else could it be...?

A name that neither of them dared to think of came to mind: Lian Keyi.

Whether it was telepathy or not, the moment that name entered my mind, my phone rang.

It was indeed Keyi calling.

Gan Qi glanced at the caller ID and gasped nervously.
