After ten years of cultivation, he finally achieved greatness in a single day. To break free from the shackles of his sect and find his long-awaited fiancée, he resolutely descended the mountain. U...
The morning light was warm, shining through the window screen, its gentle warmth dispelling any discomfort upon waking.
Jiang Yan stretched comfortably. It was the weekend, so she didn't have to go to the company and slept until after nine o'clock.
"Yan Yan, are you up? I've prepared breakfast." Qin Yiheng pushed open the door and came in.
Jiang Yan looked over sleepily and saw Qin Yiheng had opened the door halfway. He was wearing home clothes, his hair was hanging down naturally, and he looked very handsome with a bright and energetic expression.
Jiang Yan smiled, and Qin Yiheng smiled too.
This kind of life is wonderful.
However, before the two could even greet each other with "good morning," Jiang Yan's phone rang. She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and froze.
Shen Ru?
"What's wrong?" Qin Yiheng walked over.
"A friend I haven't contacted in a long time," Jiang Yan explained simply, then answered the phone.
"Hey! Yan Yan, what are you doing? You little lazy pig, you're still not up, are you?" Shen Ru's laughter was the same as before, except that when she was talking to Jiang Yan, her sharp tongue wasn't as obvious.
"You were right, I just woke up." Jiang Yan smiled as well.
As she spoke, Jiang Yan went to the bathroom to wash up, and Qin Yiheng gestured for her to come out and wait for her.
When Jiang Yan came out again, she had already hung up the phone, but her expression was not good.
Qin Yiheng asked her with his eyes.
Jiang Yan, holding her chopsticks, frowned: "The person who called me just now was my college classmate and best friend, but we haven't been in touch for a long time. She wanted to ask me out, but we agreed to do a live stream today, so I told her, and then she asked you..."
Actually, there's nothing wrong with what I've said so far.
Gossiping is almost in the nature of most women, especially when it comes to exciting things like having a boyfriend or fiancé.
What upset Jiang Yan was that Shen Ru asked far too many questions.
“I told her that our marriage was arranged before, but since you weren’t in Chongqing at the time, I didn’t mention it to anyone. As a result, she kept asking me what I did, what my job was, and what my financial situation was like. I could only tell her that I was just an ordinary person, but she kept asking me.”
It's not like I'm trying to steal a man.
Qin Yiheng took a bite of the steamed bun, his expression meaningful.
A friend I haven't contacted in a long time...
"And," Jiang Yan said, emphasizing her words as if she had thought of something, "a classmate of mine recently came back from abroad... Ugh, I don't know if there's any connection, but I just feel like Shen Ru is acting strangely."
Jiang Yan's guess was rather presumptuous; it was probably all just a coincidence.
"Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Yan asked, looking at Qin Yiheng's expression.
"No, if she still asks you out or contacts you, just make myself sound as ordinary as possible," Qin Yiheng reassured her.
Even if Qin Yiheng hadn't told her, Jiang Yan definitely wouldn't have gone out and bragged.
That's the Chu family! Who would believe they've gotten in touch with the Chu family?
Moreover, if Qin Yiheng's true identity were to be revealed, it would be even less believable than the Chu family's!
With Qin Yiheng's comforting words, Jiang Yan stopped thinking about it and the two tidied up before heading out.
As soon as she stepped outside, Jiang Yan started her live stream.
Now, many people are waiting for her to go live every day, so her live stream never has to worry about viewership.
"Hey everyone, it's time for our weekend outdoor live stream again! Look, we've just headed out. Our destination is Fengying Square, which isn't too far, so we're planning to walk there..."
[Hello, host! It's been a few hours, I've missed you so much!]
Was that a few hours? To me, it feels like centuries.
[Am I the only one who noticed that the streamer was talking about us? So... you guys are awesome!]
[I heard it too, it must be the streamer and the miracle doctor together, Xia Yan szdyyds...]
[Location: Malaysia - Checking in. I'm looking forward to seeing more livestreamers showing me around Chongqing. I'll definitely visit again when I get back to China.]
[Checking in from Russia.]
[I'm located in Aizhou, which is very close to Chongqing, but I still can't go there. So frustrating...]
"If you come to Chongqing, you should definitely visit Maple Shadow Square, especially in autumn when all the maple leaves have fallen. It's a truly spectacular sight. Although it's not autumn now, the scenery is still beautiful, so I brought the kids here to enjoy it..."
Jiang Yan walked along while talking to the viewers in the live stream.
Qin Yiheng was already used to her routine, so he just quietly stayed by her side, occasionally showing a corner of his clothes or half of his face, which would cause the live stream audience to scream.
As we spoke, we arrived at Maple Shadow Square.
"Look, there are so many people here during the day." Jiang Yan chose a spot and set up her phone.
Through the screen, Jiang Yan could clearly see what was happening behind her. She seemed to notice something and became somewhat stunned.
About ten meters behind me, a group of elderly men and women were handing out various flyers to the passersby.
This is a perfectly normal action, but the strange thing is...
"Beautiful lady, look at this! This is the best five-star hotel in Yuzhou. There's a discount for staying here now, only 888 yuan a night. Think about it, a girl like you definitely needs to find a safe place. Security issues are a big problem at other hotels, who would feel at ease? Come with me now!"
A middle-aged man, also holding a bunch of flyers, stood out among the elderly men and women.
Opposite him was a woman with a backpack, who looked like she was from out of town.
"Looking at the pictures on your backpack, it doesn't seem worth 888," the woman with the backpack said hesitantly.
The man quickly tried to persuade him: "How could it not be worth it? Look, this room looks spacious from every angle, and you have little luggage, so you'll be very comfortable. The hotel's hot water, internet, and service are all top-notch. There's nothing the hotel can't do. More importantly, the price will go up if you wait until noon."
"Usually hotels haven't even checked out by now, so why are they offering discounts?" The woman with the backpack was a little suspicious and took a step to leave.
"It's because we haven't checked out yet, so we're reserving the room first. It's a time difference. Miss, don't rush off, let me explain..." The man took two steps after him and continued rambling on.
This entire scene was recorded by Jiang Yan and broadcast live.
[Hey you over there, is that woman about to be scammed?]
[It looks like it to me too. It seems to say 888 per night? Three or four 8s? What kind of hotel is that expensive?]
Are these the prices in Chongqing? I'm stunned.
[It's definitely a scam...]
While they were discussing, Jiang Yan ran up and grabbed the woman with the backpack's arm, saying, "Wait a minute."
"Alright, then I'll book a room right away..." Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Yan, who suddenly appeared. She looked at him with unfriendly eyes and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
