Following the business card, Ji Yao saw the white fingers with clear knuckles holding the business card.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Jincheng. Her beautiful eyes were exposed between the brim of the hat and the mask. There was no unnecessary emotion in her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger.

However, this indifference only lasted for a few seconds, and was quickly covered up by her crooked eyes.

"Mr. Lu, I have other things to do, so it's inconvenient."

Ji Yao politely rejected Lu Jincheng, but in Lu Jincheng's ears, it was as if Designer Y had treated all the previous things as if they had never happened and had easily brushed them off.

"Oh? Miss Y, when will you be free? I remember you agreed to my dinner invitation some time ago, but then you didn't show up and blocked me."

When he said this, Lu Jincheng's face darkened a bit, and you could even hear a hint of gnashing of teeth.

He especially remembered that he felt like he was being tricked by a monkey that day and sat in the restaurant for a long time.

The point is that he later ignored his invitation and cooperated directly with a hostile company.

Isn’t that nakedly against yourself?
But he had clearly never offended her, so why would she do this?

Ji Yao didn't expect Lu Jincheng to be so vindictive, but there was no strange color on her face. Instead, she made a puzzled expression, raising her brows in question.

"I wonder why Mr. Lu said such a thing? I have never known you, and I have no intention of blocking you. Mr. Lu probably recognized the wrong person."

Ji Yao denied it, looked at Lu Jincheng's suspicious expression, and smiled calmly.

"If Mr. Lu doesn't believe it, you can just look at my phone, but I believe Mr. Lu will never do such a thing, right? After all, my phone is still a very private thing for me."

Ji Yao casually took out her phone, unlocked it and spread it out in her hand.

She had changed this phone when she lived in a foreign country, and it also used a foreign system, which was completely different from the previous phone.

Ji Yao's words set a trap for Lu Jincheng. He was vying to see designer Y's phone in front of so many people. If word spread, it would definitely have a bad impact on him.

Others who had been watching Ji Yao were also curious about whether there was really such a holiday between the two, and began to ask around.

"Mr. Lu, is what you just said really true?"

"Ms. Y, why do you want to blackmail Mr. Lu? Could it be that the relationship between you is not good, and the company you signed with doesn't seem to be getting along well with Mr. Lu. Can you elaborate on it?"

"There are rumors that Miss Y and Mr. Lu once knew each other. Is this true or false?"

Facing various reporters' questions, Lu Jincheng frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Ji Yao smiled.

"Everyone has misunderstood. I think Mr. Lu must have mistaken others for me. Mr. Lu and I didn't have much interaction before."

Ji Yao's rescue moment made the reporters feel bored, but they still hoped to get more information from the two of them.

"I thought I could have some exclusive revelations."

"Is that really all there is to it? I thought I could hear something interesting."

Facing the reporter's words, Ji Yao just smiled but did not speak again.

Ji Yao had already said that, and Lu Jincheng also knew that he was ignorant if he continued to pester him. He nodded, apologized to Ji Yao and left the competition site.

Seeing Lu Jincheng's retreating figure, Ji Yao let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although even if Lu Jincheng really looked at her phone just now, she would never find any news, but when she was with Lu Jincheng, there was always an invisible pressure hanging over her.

It's because I'm afraid of being recognized, but there are also other factors. After randomly picking a few reporters' questions about design to answer, Ji Yao hurriedly said goodbye and left.

As for those gossipy rumors, she ignored them all.

The designer competition was held in the center of the city. There was a bustling commercial street not far away. Ji Yao thought she could buy some sweets for her daughter on the way back, so she refused the car arranged by the organizer.

Although she was already on the street, Ji Yao still wore a mask and hat and did not show her true appearance.

No one knew whether someone would be photographed after taking off her mask and hat. In order not to cause more trouble, Ji Yao decided to keep her current appearance.

People on the road were bustling, but Ji Yao felt a strange line of sight behind her as she walked on the street.

Although it feels impossible to say this, only when you are really being targeted will you be keenly aware of something unusual.

She turned her head and glanced behind her. People on the road were coming and going, and they were all going their own way, as if the strange feeling she just felt was just an illusion.

Frowning her brows slightly, Ji Yao stopped thinking about who was following her and quickly headed to her destination - the dessert shop.

There are clerks and many customers in the dessert shop, so he should be able to go there to seek help. No matter who is following him, as long as the police come, he will have no chance to take advantage of him.

With this idea in mind, Ji Yao quickly walked into the dessert shop.

The business of this dessert shop is quite good, and many people are shopping.

Ji Yao took a look outside and saw no suspicious people on the street, so she felt relieved a little.

She had just finished shopping for desserts and took another look outside, but unexpectedly noticed a black figure standing under a tree.

In just that moment, Ji Yao immediately realized the crisis and clenched her fists subconsciously.

She swallowed and Twilight looked at the female shopping guide who was walking out of the kitchen at the front desk.

Ji Yao said nervously when she walked up to the female shopping guide.

"Hello, I have something I want to do..."

But he was interrupted by an unfamiliar male voice just halfway through his words.

"Hello miss, I would like to see the larger cake you have here. Also, can this cake be made fresh?"

Compared to Ji Yao, who already had desserts in hand, to the female shopping guide, this man wearing a mask and black clothes was a bigger customer.

"Come with me, my gentleman, and I will introduce you to him."

The female shopping guide took the man to the cake cabinet nearby to show him cake samples. Ji Yao swallowed, and the sense of crisis in her heart became stronger.

This man must have a different purpose.

Otherwise, why would he follow him and do such weird things?

Ji Yao's heart was beating fast. She took a look at the cake shop and there were still many people in it, and she felt a little relieved.

With her eyes fixed on the back of the man in black, Ji Yao immediately turned around and went to the front desk to settle the payment for the dessert.

Ji Yao turned on her phone and glanced at the time, then quietly glanced towards the man in black.
