Chapter 216 – Afraid You Won’t See Me When You Come

After the recording of the variety show was suspended, there had been no relevant posts on the trending list for a few days. As a commoner, Meng Chuyuan’s departure from the camera was equivalent to disappearing.

Suddenly, Meng Chuyuan saw the red dot on the Weibo icon. Coincidentally, she had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she unintentionally opened Weibo and wandered around the internet for a while.

Meng Chuyuan happened to see Liao Jiayan’s Weibo. The time of the post was half an hour ago. She had registered her marriage with her boyfriend, whom she had been in love with for three years.

Seeing Liao Jiayan’s marriage certificate, Meng Chuyuan didn’t have much of a reaction. However, what surprised her was that the comments under this Weibo post seemed to contain a lot of information.

[F*ck! I always thought that I was paying attention to Keke’s alternate account!!]

[So it’s her younger sister. Oh my god, it’s been so long. Everyone thought it was Ke Ke, but no one came forward to explain.]

[Is it possible that this is Ke Ke’s alternate account, but she isn’t using it anymore she decided to give it to her sister now?]

[No way? She still has to use Sister’s account for the official announcement? Then can I think that she’s trying to gain popularity?]

This was originally Liao Jiayan’s private account. Usually, it didn’t have much exposure and she would occasionally come up to share some daily matters. However, after she moved overseas, she didn’t post anything else and set her account to be visible for half a year.

Unexpectedly, the account was activated again. It was actually about the official announcement of the marriage. What shocked the entire Internet was that this account was actually Liao Jiayan’s.

Not long after, her Weibo post quickly became popular.

Faced with the doubts of many netizens, Meng Chuyuan left her blessings in the comments section: [Congratulations.]

This was the first time she had commented on Weibo since she opened it. Some sharp-eyed netizens realized that Meng Chuyuan had appeared in the comments section and reposted it one after another, gradually covering up the doubts.

Among them, when Ting Jiu saw the popular Weibo post, he also left a comment: [Congratulations, Sister Liao. Happy marriage. Happy marriage.]

…

Half an hour later, Liao Jiayan suddenly regretted her impulsiveness.

She did want to take the opportunity to take revenge on Liao Jiake, so she deliberately posted the news online. However, when she calmed down, she felt that this behavior was too childish.

Once this matter blew up, she might not be able to withstand the pressure brought about by the Internet.

Liao Jiayan opened Weibo and wanted to delete the original Weibo post. However, she was stunned when she saw more blessings than doubts.

However, she saw that thousands of blessings were brought by Meng Chuyuan’s comment and that unintentionally solved her problem.

Seeing Meng Chuyuan and Ting Jiu’s comments, Liao Jiayan had mixed feelings. Out of courtesy, she also thanked the two of them.

In fact, she had already completed the procedures in the morning and told her family the news immediately. However, she did not expect that the first person to wish her well would be Meng Chuyuan.

Because Meng Chuyuan saved the situation at the last minute, it diverted the attention of the netizens’ doubts. However, the official announcement still became a trending topic in the end.

That afternoon, when Liao Jiake saw the trending topic, she almost exploded. She called Liao Jiayan to clarify the matter, but Liao Jiayan didn’t answer her call.

Hence, Liao Jiake called home and told her parents the reason.

Naturally, Liao Jiayan didn’t go home that night. She knew what she would face if she went back, but she didn’t avoid her mother’s call.

“Liao Jiayan, what are you trying to do? What’s so great about registering your marriage? Why do you have to post on Weibo? Do you want everyone to know?”

Before answering the call, Liao Jiayan still had a glimmer of hope. However, when she heard her mother’s voice, her heart was already dead.

Her eyes were red. She held back her tears and said hoarsely, “Liao Jiake told you about this, right? It’s my freedom to post whatever I want. I want my marriage to be respected. I want everyone’s blessings, okay?”

“You’re so willful. Have you thought about your sister? It hasn’t been easy for her all these years. You’ll ruin her by doing this.”

“You keep saying that it hasn’t been easy for her all these years. Have you thought about how easy it has been for me all these years?” Today was a happy day for Liao Jiayan. She didn’t want to mention these troublesome things, but once her emotions rose, she couldn’t control them.

“How is it not easy for you? Back then, it was your sister who helped your father pay off his debts. If it weren’t for her, our family would have broken up long ago…”

In the evening, night was about to fall.

Meng Chuyuan strolled around the city center for the whole afternoon. To be precise, she was visiting a shop. She had no experience in business operations, so she wanted to learn more about it.

This time, she chose a small shop with some of the more niche brands. She used the opportunity to study and see how others managed the shop and sold their products.

When it was time for Lu Qingye to get off work, he replied to Meng Chuyuan on WeChat: [Where are you?]

Meng Chuyuan came to the company at noon. There were some developments regarding the public welfare activities she was concerned about. Previously, she had handed this matter to her mother-in-law to handle. Now that Lin Youjuan was still overseas, she came personally to confirm.

At noon, Lu Qingye did not meet her.

At that time, he was busy with work in the office and did not even eat. The department Meng Chuyuan was going to did not pass by his place. She left after she was done with her work. The secretary was the one who told him that she had come to the company.

During lunch break, Lu Qingye asked her where she was and found out that she was in the city.

Not long after, Meng Chuyuan sent him a location.

Lu Qingye: [Wait for me there. I’ll pick you up and let’s have a meal together.]

He had been working overtime for the past few days and always had dinner outside. He thought that since Meng Chuyuan happened to be here, they should have dinner together before going back.

Meng Chuyuan replied quickly: [Okay.]

About 20 minutes later, Lu Qingye arrived at where she was seated.

Meng Chuyuan had booked a spot in the square. Perhaps she had become tired from shopping, she was already seated on the stone bench beside her.

Lu Qingye saw her at a glance on the road. After parking the car, he walked over to look for her.

He had just gotten off work and was dressed in a formal suit. He looked out of place among the pedestrians on the street. He was tall and handsome, and the people passing by could not help but look at him.

Meng Chuyuan was so focused on the other side that she did not notice Lu Qingye walking toward her from the other side.

When Lu Qingye stood beside her, a tall shadow covered her petite body. A low and magnetic voice came from above her head. “Why are you sitting here?”

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she looked up at him with a smile in her eyes. “I was afraid that you wouldn’t see me when you came.”

“…” Lu Qingye was stunned when he met her clear and bright eyes.

There were no especially bright street lights in the square. It was basically supported by billboards and neon lights. In this dark scene, Meng Chuyuan’s eyes were still not buried.

Lu Qingye slowly reached out to her, indicating that he wanted to pull her up, but Meng Chuyuan seemed to be faster than him and stood up on her own.

When she stood up, she saw Lu Qingye’s hand hanging in midair.
