Lu Qichen opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say, while Bai Rongrong beside him couldn't hold back any longer. Hearing Ye Zhiqiu label her with the derogatory term 'third party', Bai Rongrong was furious. These two unpleasant words were like sharp knives, slicing open the wounds in her heart, gruesomely laid out before her. Bai Rongrong gritted her teeth and strode proudly up to Ye Zhiqiu. She wasn't taller than Ye Zhiqiu, but with a pair of sky-high heels on her feet, she looked down on Ye Zhiqiu from above. 'Have the guts to repeat what you just said!' Assistant Fan watched from the side, breaking out in a cold sweat. When these two ladies started to fight, he really didn't know which one to help. He silently prayed in his heart that if Ye Zhiqiu could hold back for a moment, this matter would pass. But Ye Zhiqiu met Bai Rongrong's gaze fearlessly, 'Aren't I speaking the truth? Miss Bai, the big star, please have some shame. President Lu is a married man, and you let the newspapers speculate about you and him at this time, and now you brazenly come to the company. Are you afraid that the world doesn't know about your relationship with President Lu, am I right?' Ye Zhiqiu was someone who would back down when treated nicely but would not hesitate to fight back when provoked. If Bai Rongrong had spoken kindly, she would have turned around and left without a word. But given Bai Rongrong's attitude, she had no choice but to be merciless, 'What? Could it be that Miss Bai came specially to wish President Lu a happy wedding?' 'You bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart.'

Bai Rongrong, accustomed to being a high and mighty star, had everyone from assistants to agents treating her like a treasured ancestor, and even Lu Qichen doted on her endlessly. To be satirized by a woman who was a complete unknown was something she simply could not swallow. Her hand was raised high, ready to land on Ye Zhiqiu's face. The assistant, Fan, was so frightened that he closed his eyes. Ye Zhiqiu hadn't had time to react, just watching Bai Rongrong's hand descend, but the expected pain did not come. 'Qichen, what are you doing?' Seeing Lu Qichen's grim face as he grabbed Bai Rongrong's hand, Fan's heart finally relaxed, 'Let me go, I must teach this arrogant secretary a lesson for you today.' 'Enough!'

Lu Qichen roared impatiently. Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback for a moment. She had just been discussing the matter at hand, trying to vent her anger, and by the time she realized she had offended the person concerned, it was already too late. But she never expected that Lu Qichen would actually stand up for her. Having been with Lu Qichen for so many years, Bai Rongrong saw for the first time Lu Qichen lose his temper so spectacularly, and she froze on the spot, only to burst into tears of grievance when she came back to her senses. Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. If someone who didn't know the situation came in now, they might think she had bullied Bai Rongrong. If those reporters outside got wind of it, she would surely be drowned in the flood of online criticism. Bai Rongrong didn't care what Ye Zhiqiu thought at this moment; what she cared about was Lu Qichen's attitude towards her. While crying, she couldn't help but pour out her grievances, 'Qichen, I know I shouldn't have lost my temper with you the other day, and I already realize my mistake, so I came here today specifically to apologize to you. We've been together for such a long time, this relationship is not easy to come by, and I don't want to give it up so easily.' Bai Rongrong, while crying, also glared fiercely at Ye Zhiqiu in front of her, 'Qichen, Old Master Lu doesn't like me, and if you want to marry another woman, I'll accept it, but ever since you married that woman, everything has changed. You've become completely different from before, you've started to distance yourself from me, and now even a lowly secretary can bully me. Tell me, have you fallen in love with that despicable woman?'

Bai Rongrong was crying and demanding an answer, and it was at this moment that Ye Zhiqiu learned the truth. It turned out that the relationship between Lu Qichen and Bai Rongrong was not as unbreakable as imagined, at least not now... Lu Qichen had already made Bai Rongrong feel insecure. Ye Zhiqiu knew that she was certainly not the catalyst for the problems between the two, considering Lu Qichen's notorious past, there could be any number of women outside. And Bai Rongrong was just the one who had stayed with him the longest among his many women. Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel sorry for Bai Rongrong. Although she was suffering, she only had to endure this one year, but Bai Rongrong had truly invested her whole heart and soul in Lu Qichen. 'What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge out your eyes,' Bai Rongrong shouted, losing all reason as she saw the pity in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes and lunged forward. This time, Assistant Fan stood in front of Ye Zhiqiu. With a troubled expression, he said, 'Miss Bai, you are a big star, why bother with a small figure like her, it's beneath your dignity, don't you think?' Assistant Fan could see that although Lu Qichen wasn't doing anything at the moment, his concern for Ye Zhiqiu couldn't be hidden when Bai Rongrong's hand was about to hit her face. So he stood firmly in front of Ye Zhiqiu, because after all... she was the rightful Mrs. Lu. 'Assistant Fan, are you going against me too?'

Bai Rongrong glared fiercely at the assistant Fan in front of her and sneered, 'Well, Lu Qichen, you see it too. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let this matter go just like that.' 'What kind of answer do you want?' Lu Qichen, seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was temporarily fine, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked Bai Rongrong in front of him. Bai Rongrong glanced at Lu Qichen and Ye Zhiqiu, a hint of revenge flashing in her eyes, 'I want you to fire both of them for me. I don't want to see them at Xiangyu ever again.' Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback. Bai Rongrong's desire for revenge was indeed strong. To be fair, it was only herself who had offended Bai Rongrong. Assistant Fan had been by Lu Qichen's side for so many years and had already become his right-hand man. She actually wanted Lu Qichen to fire Assistant Fan as well. How could that be possible? Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but curse Bai Rongrong for being foolish in her heart. Sure enough, the next second, Lu Qichen refused Bai Rongrong's suggestion, speaking without any mercy. 'If you don't want to see them at Xiangyu, you don't have to come here.' As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Rongrong's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard, and she reluctantly confirmed again. 'You... say that again.'
