Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1168 - 1146: If I Hadn’t Come, You Would’ve Been Stripped Naked
As she spoke, Qiao Yongyong displayed the invitation.
Ji Wenxuan took it and was stunned. It couldn’t be. He didn’t even know these two people, and he certainly hadn’t sent them an invitation. However... the invitation was indeed genuine.
Ning Duoduo saw the security guards pause and angrily said, "Need we think further? She must have stolen the invitation! What won’t paparazzi do these days? Search them now! Are you waiting for them to release secret photos?!"
Hearing this, Ji Wenxuan immediately ordered, "Search them!"
The security guards approached the two when footsteps suddenly echoed. The guests stepped aside, creating a narrow path. A tall figure in a custom iron-gray suit walked towards them.
The man was exceptionally handsome, with a nose like sculpted marble, thin lips naturally curving in a distanced, indifferent arch. His presence exuded power and authority without the need for anger. His narrow yet strong frame was concealed by the suit, but it was evident he was quite built. Two plainclothes bodyguards from the Ning Family followed him.
This instantly elicited soft exclamations from the female guests.
"Brother—" Ning Duoduo was shocked.
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar: "It’s Master Ning from the Ning Family—"
This Ning family master had rarely been seen in public since returning to Beijing, reportedly disliking social gatherings. Even high-ranking officials had difficulty meeting him.
Who would have thought he’d appear today!
And indeed, seeing him was far more impressive than hearing tales. The man possessed dragon-like grace and phoenix-like elegance, surpassing even Director Ning in his younger days and added an aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Qiao Yongyong was also taken aback, not expecting him to arrive.
Ji Wenxuan called several times personally, but Nie Yixiao had refused. Seeing him here, he was pleasantly surprised and hurried over: "Young Master Nie..."
Before he could finish, Nie Yixiao waved him off: "They came with me."
Ji Wenxuan was surprised: "These two reporters are Young Master Nie’s friends?"
Nie Yixiao gave a small, teasing smile, his lips showing endless charm: "What, you’re not welcoming to reporters?"
Ji Wenxuan hurried to say, "No, it’s just..."
"Afraid they’ll take secret photos? They’re journalists during work hours, but outside of work, they’re just ordinary people," he glanced at Qiao Yongyong.
Qiao Yongyong immediately said, "Yes, we’re only here to attend the party today. No secret photography whatsoever."
Since the two had Young Master Nie’s assurance, Ji Wenxuan dared not search them and instead lifted his hands to calm the somewhat agitated guests around.
Seeing that the people were brought by the Ning Family’s master, no one wished to offend them. Besides, with the Ning Family’s guarantee, what was there to worry about? They began to disperse.
Ji Wenxuan wanted to personally attend to them, but the guards following Nie Yixiao approached:
"Mr. Ji, please tend to others. Our master isn’t fond of socializing."
Ji Wenxuan looked towards the man; although he was present, he still exuded an air of aloofness. Clearly, he hadn’t come to attend the party. The only reason for his visit...
Was simply to protect this girl.
Ji Wenxuan could only step aside.
Qiao Yongyong asked Abo to leave first, then dashed over: "Why did you come?"
"If I hadn’t, you’d have been stripped bare by now," his eyes, like ink, showed a trace of coldness as he grabbed her arm and led her out of the banquet hall.
Knew that this girl would run into trouble her first time on such an undercover mission. Without keeping an eye on her, he felt uneasy.
Sure enough, she ran into problems! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
He led her all the way out of the resort.
She followed behind like a demure wife, silent yet with a jumbled heart.
Should she report back to him about capturing Ning Duoduo and Gan Jinhong?
The scandalous scene of Ning Duoduo and Gan Jinhong was taken purely out of a moment of fury.
Given her past personality, whether because of Ning Duoduo’s usual attitude towards her or to give Gan Xinxin and her mother some justice, she would have already exposed the footage to various media sources. But now...
She was the daughter-in-law of the Ning Family; she couldn’t act willfully. She should let him know about such a scandal involving her sister-in-law.
Noticing she seemed to have something to say, he stopped, looking at her in confusion: "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Yongyong didn’t hesitate, telling him about what she had just discovered.
Nie Yixiao listened quietly without a word, nor was he as shocked as she had imagined. Finally, his thin lips moved, his eyes cold and flashing: "It was bound to happen."
Qiao Yongyong was surprised: "You... already knew about Ning Duoduo and Gan Jinhong?"
Last time at the Ning and Gan family dinner, Nie Yixiao had exposed Gan Jinhong’s secrets, uncovering all his affairs with other women. How could he not know about Gan Jinhong’s hidden relationship with Ning Duoduo?
However, at that dinner, he couldn’t possibly put the sneaky photos of Ning Duoduo and Gan Jinhong on the screen.
If Ning Xiaochuan, who always thought of his daughter as pure and kind, saw her in such a shameful act with a married man, he would have been furious.
He gave a slight nod: "Yes."
She took a deep breath and pulled out the video memory card from the DV, handing it to him: "If this gets out, it’ll become a Ning Family scandal. I won’t give this footage to any magazines. If you’re worried, take it."
He hadn’t expected her to be so understanding, hesitating for a moment before teasing: "You’re giving up your first completed mission so easily?"
"You’re my husband, more important than any mission." She smiled like a blooming flower, her porcelain skin seeming to have a rosy glow, incomparably beautiful.
Suddenly moved, he reached out to hold her hand yet didn’t take the memory card from her, instead curling her small hand into a fist and slowly lowering it: "Keep it yourself."
With that, he took large strides towards the hotel’s exit.
She felt a stirring in her heart; was this him trusting her? Beginning to trust her?
She smiled, catching up to his pace.

Since the internship wasn’t over for the day, Nie Yixiao instructed the guards to drive her to the Times Weekly’s entrance.
She got out, waving to Nie Yixiao: "Hubby, I’ll continue working." Then she happily went into the building.
Returning to her office at the magazine, Abo eagerly approached, winking on purpose: "Back already? I told you how could a little girl like you join Times Weekly, entering the most important entertainment section right from the start, turns out the man behind you is..."
She immediately placed her finger to her lips, shushing, "Don’t mention today’s incident to anyone."
However, Abo was evidently still not satisfied with what happened at the resort, continuing to tease her.
Their intermittent conversation reached Gan Ying’s ears not far away, where his brows slightly furrowed, realizing that just now Nie Yixiao had rushed to the resort to save the situation for Qiao Yongyong.
Even if their marriage was arranged by Ning Xiaochuan, over time, what was fake could become real.
