Chu Yuan had been in a daze for a full half hour since Yan Chen finished speaking.

Because Yan Chen said he wanted to marry her.

To be precise: get a marriage certificate.

This is the best way to deal with negative news online. Compared to ambiguous relationships and unclear relationships with young women, secret marriage minimizes the impact.

At worst, we can screen fans in advance and filter out some of the infatuated fans.

This might allow Yan Chen to enter the ranks of mature artists ahead of time.

This is a big deal for Chu Yuan; she needs to think about it.

Yan Chen respected her decision. "Brother Cheng will hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon. You have one night to consider it. If you don't agree, I will try my best to explain at the press conference."

Actually, my main concern is that Yeye will be upset if she finds out the truth. But in this matter, every choice has its advantages and disadvantages; it mainly depends on your own thoughts.

Chu Yuan didn't sleep all night, and the next day she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The optimistic Ye Ye was lively and energetic, unaffected by the bombardment of news these days, and even took on the heavy responsibility of buying medicine for Chu Yuan through Meituan.

Chu Yuan swallowed the fever reducer with warm water, her red eyes looking at the child. "Yeye, Mommy has a question for you. Will you answer honestly?"

“Okay, Mom, I’ll wring out the handkerchief for you.” Ye Ye was very well-behaved.

This made Chu Yuan even more reluctant. Ye Ye liked Yan Chen so much, could she accept him telling the truth and ending this father-son relationship that should not exist?

"What if... Mommy means what if Yan Chen isn't your biological father?"

Ye Ye froze as she wrung out the handkerchief, which fell back into the basin. "Mom, what...did you say?"

In that sudden instant, Chu Yuan gave up.

Wouldn't it be better to let Ye Ye be a carefree and happy child under the cover of a kind lie?

She smiled slightly, "It's nothing, Mom's just delirious from the fever."

Ye Ye's small, fair hand touched Chu Yuan's forehead. "It's still a little hot. I'll go make some porridge for Mom. I hope Mom gets better soon."

Around 11 o'clock, Chu Yuan felt a little better.

He called Brother Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, I need your help. Could you come over?"

A noisy and chaotic sound came from the other end of the phone; Cheng Ge must be very busy setting up the scene.

Chu Yuan was filled with anxiety. First, she was unsure if Brother Cheng could spare the time, and second, even if he came, the matter might not be resolved.

in the country, both the man and woman must appear in person to obtain a marriage certificate.

Chu Yuan wanted to give Yan Chen a surprise by sending the marriage certificate directly to the press conference, thus slapping those boring reporters in the face.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

At 2:00 PM, at the same time, Chu Yuan arrived at the venue with Ye Ye.

A huge electronic screen at the entrance of the venue projected Yan Chen's impeccably handsome face. He sat in the center of the stage, his hands folded on the table, exuding maturity and composure beyond his years.

The chaotic questions asked at the scene did not affect him in the slightest.

He began, "I am Yan Chen. I know that there has been a lot of speculation online about my secret marriage recently, and many fans are indignant, feeling that I deliberately created this persona to mislead everyone into liking and supporting me."

All I can say is that, first of all, I did not create a persona.

I, Yan Chen, have always been more loyal to my work than to myself. Whether I am handsome or ugly depends on the needs of the role, rather than deliberately showing only my best side to the public.

Secondly, I did not hide my marriage; I am still single, as clearly stated in the marital status section of my household registration certificate.

Cheng didn't actually approve of Yan Chen doing this, but once Yan Chen made up his mind, nothing could change it, so he could only go along with him.

Take out Yan Chen's household registration booklet and show it to everyone.

At this point, the group of reporters holding microphones became even more excited, and they all pressed for answers, "Then Yan Chen, if you're not married, why are you getting so close to a mother and son?"

She even disguised herself to attend the parent-teacher conference for that little girl named Chu Yeye.

Doesn't this implicitly assume you are his parent and he is your child?

"...Not being married but having a son, that's even more puzzling, isn't it?"

One of the reporters spoke in a very unfriendly tone.

"Don't you think that Yan Chen's actions either indicate that he was pregnant out of wedlock a long time ago, or, if we think about it more deeply, does he have any improper thoughts about a married woman?"

As public figures whose every word and action has a profound impact on the public, such negative trends must be rectified!

Stirred up by this reporter, the sensitive topic quickly gained traction, causing an uproar among the audience.

Brother Cheng tried several times to maintain order but failed!

He rubbed his forehead, his eyebrows furrowed into a knot. He had anticipated this outcome, but facing it in person was still a headache.

Countless doubts and questions rained down on Yan Chen.

Just when Cheng Ge felt helpless, Chu Yuan stepped forward with her son. "Is this a press conference? I have a few words to say about my son, me, and Yan Chen. I hope everyone will stop making wild guesses and personal attacks!"

As soon as the reporters saw her, they swarmed towards Chu Yuan like dogs that had been starving for a long time seeing a bone.

Chu Yuan stood still, her expression serene, her dress outlining her perfect waistline.

In front of the camera, she is in no way inferior to female celebrities who appear on camera.

This prompted some of Yan Chen's fans, who were waiting in front of the camera, to exclaim, "Wow, she's so beautiful!"

"Yes, this looks different from the photos from a while ago."

One is a carefully made-up photo, and the other is a candid photo of an ordinary person who has just gotten off a plane and is still sleepy. Of course, the difference will be huge.

Moreover, the paparazzi's hands were shaking when they took the photos, resulting in blurry images.

It's no exaggeration to say that they didn't even capture three-tenths of Chu Yuan's beauty in the photos.

With the release of the high-resolution photos, many fans who are obsessed with good looks simply couldn't contain themselves:

Wow, what a beautiful woman! So this is your type, brother?

"Is this a new mom? If all new moms in the world looked like this, I'd rather be a new mom and be pampered by my older brother."

"Yan Chen, do you like me or not? If you don't, give it to me!"

"Brother Cheng, let's quickly develop her into a star, so she can openly act and date with our brother!"

"Upstairs, have you overlooked something? Where's the child...?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is the child important?"

"Yes, it's true. My brother likes children, which shows he has a childlike heart. He likes taking care of other people's children, which shows he has a kind heart. What's there to nitpick about?"

There were quite a few professional fans here who were there to control the crowd, but overall, Chu Yuan's perfect appearance made many people who originally disliked her start to take a wait-and-see approach.

After all, there's no rule that says celebrities can't like single mothers, right?

However, Chu Yuan's identity—whether she is a divorced or widowed single mother, or a married woman—becomes particularly important!
