Chapter 110: This Kind of Thing Has Happened Before

As soon as Qiao Yufei finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately admired her kind heart.

“Miss Qiao, where did you lose your necklace?” a curious reporter asked.

“It was... in Qiao Yucheng’s lounge. I was looking for him at the time...” When she mentioned Qiao Yucheng, a faint, embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

The reporters erupted instantly.

“Miss Qiao, are you and Qiao Yucheng really not in a romantic relationship? Why did you clarify the last time you were photographed secretly—was it to protect your careers?” another reporter quickly inquired.

Qiao Yufei smiled but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she deliberately diverted the question.

“Right now, Yucheng and I are both at the peak of our careers, so we’re focusing on our work.”

To the reporters, these words carried a different implication.

It sounded as if the two had no romantic feelings for each other due to their career priorities, but the deeper meaning was that they were deliberately concealing their relationship for the sake of their careers.

The crowd buzzed again.

Amid the chaos, Luo En squeezed through and politely addressed everyone.

“Please calm down. The main issue now is to find Miss Qiao’s necklace. Other questions can wait for another time.”

“We’ve reviewed the surveillance footage. Everyone who entered Qiao Yucheng’s room will be thoroughly checked. I believe we will find the necklace.”

Only then did the crowd’s attention shift back to the lost necklace.

---

Soon, the staff finished reviewing the footage and hurried back with a list.

Luo En nodded and immediately called in everyone on the list.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yucheng, who had just finished work and was preparing to catch a flight, rushed back upon hearing about the missing item in his lounge.

Upon returning, he was immediately surrounded by reporters, all eagerly questioning what had happened when Qiao Yufei visited his lounge.

Qiao Yucheng’s expression changed. He thought to himself, “It must be Qiao Yufei ‘accidentally’ revealing something in front of these reporters again.”

This wasn’t the first time.

Finally, security came to block the reporters, allowing Qiao Yucheng to return to the press conference venue.

Seeing him return, Qiao Yufei approached with a sorrowful expression.

“Yucheng, the necklace Dad gave me was stolen…”

Qiao Yucheng looked at her puzzled but said nothing. He just wanted to see what drama she intended to put on for everyone this time.

...

In a short while, more than a dozen people gathered in the hall.

They were all staff members who had been in Qiao Yucheng’s lounge.

Holding the list, Luo En asked the staff beside him,

“Is everyone here?”

“Two are still missing,” the staff member counted before replying.

“Who are the two?”

“Ye Ning and Lin Nanxun have also been to Qiao Yucheng’s room.”

Upon hearing those names, Luo En immediately assured with confidence,

“They’re both my subordinates. They wouldn’t covet a necklace.”

If it were other people from the studio, he wouldn’t be so sure, but as for Ye Ning and Nanxun, he was willing to bet his head they wouldn’t do such a thing.

Hearing this, Qiao Yufei’s expression darkened. She smiled bitterly and sarcastically asked,

“Designer Luo, does that mean no one in your studio values my necklace...?”

At her words, Luo En’s face also changed. He hurriedly explained,

“Miss Qiao, that’s certainly not what I meant.”
