The call was from her best friend, Fang Yan. She and Qiao Luo worked at the same magazine, but they were in charge of two different sections.

Qiao Luo was assigned to the finance department, while Fang Yan was assigned to the entertainment department.

After receiving Fang Yan's call, she rushed over immediately, leaving a note for Lu Tingnian before leaving.

When Qiao Luo rushed to the magazine office, it was already crowded with people, mostly from her department, but there were also people from other departments who came to join in the fun.

As soon as Qiao Luo entered, she was surrounded by several sharp-eyed colleagues.

"Luo Luo, you've finally arrived! You're so inconsiderate! You're getting married and you didn't even tell everyone."

"That's right. If your boyfriend hadn't come over to hand out wedding candy, we wouldn't have known that you took the past few days off to prepare for the wedding."

Qiao Luo was speechless as her colleagues chatted amongst themselves.

After the car accident, she did take leave from the magazine, but not to prepare for any wedding, but to focus on taking care of Lu Tingnian in the hospital.

However, Qiao Luo didn't want to explain, because she knew that the source of their misunderstanding wasn't there.

She gave a few perfunctory replies and then walked towards the crowd inside.

At this moment, in the magazine's lounge, Gu Qiyan was carrying a large bag of wedding candies, handing them out to everyone he met, and reminding them to come to his and Qiao Luo's wedding.

When she encountered colleagues who were on good terms with Qiao Luo, they were all very polite and would even offer a few words of congratulations.

However, some of Qiao Luo's colleagues, who didn't get along with her, didn't forget to take the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks even though they also accepted the wedding candy.

Most of them complained that the wedding candies were too cheap.

As Qiao Luo entered, she overheard a colleague sarcastically remarking, "There are all sorts of people these days. Even beggars wouldn't eat such cheap candy. How could Qiao Luo possibly accept that?"

It just so happens that the colleague had a work-related argument with Qiao Luo last month, and being petty, they developed a grudge.

Qiao Luo wouldn't tolerate it. Although Gu Qiyan's behavior was shameless, she couldn't stand it when it involved her.

"You say even beggars wouldn't eat it, but you accepted it anyway. What are you then? Are you even worse than a beggar?"

The man was probably surprised that Qiao Luo would suddenly appear, and that he would overhear her veiled remarks. He was both embarrassed and somewhat furious.

"you……"

"I also want to clarify that this is not wedding candy. This is entirely his personal behavior and has nothing to do with me."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Luo clarified in front of everyone.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked on with expressions of amused curiosity.

The colleague who had just been criticized by her seized the opportunity to speak up.

"Hey, Qiao Luo, that's not very nice of you. But saying the wedding candy was too cheap isn't enough to distance yourself from the situation."

"Yes, Qiao Luo, what happened?"

Curious colleagues also asked questions.

Before Qiao Luo could answer, Gu Qiyan spoke up first, "Everyone, please don't mind, Luo Luo was just joking."

Then she turned to Qiao Luo and said, "Luo Luo, I know my mom was a bit harsh that day, but it's been several days, you should be over it by now."

He deliberately spoke very loudly so that everyone could hear him.

The colleagues immediately understood: the young couple had a fight, and the boyfriend had come to coax them, even handing out wedding candy to everyone.

Some people have even started secretly shipping her and Gu Qiyan.

Qiao Luo was furious. She had hoped to part amicably and not embarrass him in public, but he was shameless. Since that was the case, she didn't need to save face for him anymore.

So she retorted in public, "Gu Qiyan, have you no shame? We clearly broke up that day, why are you still bothering me?"
