Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 478 Press Conference

Press Conference.

The PR team had briefed Mrs. President in the backstage. An Junxi knew what to avoid and what to answer. She took a deep breath, still feeling nervous, and turned to look at Gu Yikun.

Gu Yikun sat beside her, his eyes wandering aimlessly, exuding an aura of indifference.

An Junxi wanted to tell him how scared she was, but his attitude made her swallow her words.

Shouldn’t her husband be the person she relies on the most? Why was he pushing her away at this moment?

When everything in front of the stage was ready, the PR assistant came in and said, "President, Mrs. President, we can start now."

An Junxi reached out to Gu Yikun, but he stood up first and walked out.

Her hand fell into the air. She bowed her head to hide her disappointment, lifted her skirt slightly, and followed him.

Gu Yikun stopped at the exit. An Junxi stood behind him, planning to follow him after he went out. Gu Yikun suddenly turned around, took her hand, and let her hold his arm.

An Junxi looked up at him and gripped his clothes tightly, "Yikun..."

She thought Gu Yikun would treat her like before. Reality proved she was overthinking.

Gu Yikun didn’t look at her and said, "Let’s go."

An Junxi followed in his footsteps. As soon as they appeared, the reporters below the stage stood up, and cameras and flashlights aimed at them continuously.

An Junxi lifted her head and puffed out her chest. She was so nervous on the stairs that she nearly twisted her ankle. Gu Yikun held her waist and didn’t let go until they both sat down.

Everyone saw the president and his wife appearing together. From the scene, they still looked like a loving couple. The president’s small gestures towards his wife were very considerate, and his wife’s mental state seemed good. The rumors did not seem to have affected this couple at all.

The crowd’s gossiping hearts were eagerly brewing, ready to start the Q&A session.

The PR gave the opening speech first, and then Gu Yikun began, "Thank you to all the media for attending. I know everyone is concerned about yesterday’s news. I must clarify that the allegations against my wife are unfounded. The screenshots of the text messages and transactions, as well as the audio recordings, do not prove anything. I was right beside my wife when she made those calls."

"Everyone has their social interactions, and my wife is no exception. I respect my wife’s friends and trust her completely. We have always been honest with each other. I know all her friends. Concerning the malicious attacks and rumors online, the Gu Family will reserve the right to pursue legal action."

An Junxi listened. If it weren’t for his coldness towards her, she might have believed his complete trust in her.

She said, "Thank you for your concern. My husband and I have a great relationship. I believe everyone has their judgment. I hope wise men stop spreading false statements. The Gu Group operates in various fields. I don’t want malicious comments from some people to negatively impact the society and ultimately affect the millions of employees in the Gu Group."

"The Gu Group is a pillar of social economic development, making significant contributions to national and public stability. My husband is committed to leading domestic businesses globally. In the face of the nation’s cause, we hope for your support and trust. Please don’t let ill-intentioned people use you to spread rumors, causing social chaos. Thank you, media friends, for your understanding."

These words successfully shifted the focus from the Gu family’s private affairs to the image of the Gu Group, suppressing the reporters’ urge to gossip with the powerful name of the Gu Group. Many aggressive questions prepared were left unasked.

Some reporters were unwilling to give up and posed the last question, "Excuse me, President Gu, you mention knowing all of Mrs. Gu’s friends. Could you reveal the identity of the man shown in the online screenshot involved in the money transactions with Mrs. Gu?"

Gu Yikun said, "It’s internal confidential investment decisions of the Gu Group, and we cannot disclose any details."

Among the reporters, those arranged by PR continued without a reminder, "Does President Gu mean the transaction information shown in the pictures relates to company investments?"

"That’s correct."

This statement appeared flawless and unchallengeable.

Successfully derailing the topic, the reporter followed up, "So should we assume that this drama was arranged by the Gu Group’s rival? Given it’s about Mrs. Gu’s reputation, what would President Gu do next?"

The curiosity for secrets rekindled within the crowd, as media could never completely stop fixating on an issue until something new emerged.

Gu Yikun said, "Once we identify the source of the rumors, the Gu Family will ensure everyone gets an account, and so will the other parties involved."

The press conference ended successfully. PR wrapped up by answering remaining queries from reporters.

Gu Yikun and An Junxi left the venue together. Backstage, An Junxi asked, "Is it considered resolved?"

"Yes, go home first, don’t worry about anything else."

An Junxi disliked his attitude of ’don’t worry about anything else’. Were they still a couple?

With people around, An Junxi chose not to quarrel with him in public, "Then I’ll leave first."

She was still holding his arm. Gu Yikun swiftly freed himself and told the driver, "Take Mrs. Gu home."

Then he walked away quickly.

An Junxi tightly pressed her lips. Why did he always show her his back? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Accompanied by security, An Junxi got into the car. Xiao Liu said, "Young Madam, the president went back to the office."

"I know, let’s go."

An Junxi was truly exhausted, not from the rumors, but from Gu Yikun’s attitude.

Midway, An Junxi said, "Go to Si Yuan Education."

Xiao Liu hesitated, "The president said to go straight home..."

"I said, go to Si Yuan Education."

Xiao Liu didn’t dare to persist, "Understood."

He changed the route to Si Yuan Education. Upon reaching the skyscraper, he didn’t stop and sped into a nearby street.

An Junxi asked, "Why didn’t we go?"

"Young Madam, there are reporters at the skyscraper entrance, going now is not good."

An Junxi suddenly remembered that she had been working at Si Yuan recently, and reporters must be there to intercept her.

"Forget it, go home."

"Understood."

An Junxi watched the scenery outside the car window retreating and suddenly felt extremely suffocated, suffocated to the point of insanity.

Yan City was so vast, yet she couldn’t go anywhere. She could only wait at home for the storm to calm down?

If he were by her side, she could hide behind him as if nothing had happened, but now his attitude... An Junxi bit her lip, Gu Yikun, please don’t push me away. I don’t want us to drift apart.

She took out her phone to check the effect of the press conference, finding online commentary beginning to die down, and the overall impact met expectations.

If the Gu Group fell into chaos, domestic economic stability would be the first to suffer. Economic recovery would take a long time, bringing only harm and no benefits to the national economy.

The police and other relevant departments actively called on netizens to be mindful of their words and not to invite trouble through impulsive remarks; severe cases might even face criminal charges.
