When Duan Ye got downstairs, Luo Qingyuan had already helped the old lady back.
The old woman was still cursing: "Those people are really crazy, trying to scam us? Don't even think about it!"
Duan Ye quickly asked, "What happened?"
Luo Qingyuan: "My grandma can't stay still. She went out for a walk and got hit by a scammer who claimed that she had broken someone's phone."
Duan Ye's brow twitched: "Is it resolved?"
Luo Qingyuan nodded: "When I arrived, the police were already there. They went to check the surveillance footage together and found that the person was faking the accident. I just went there to pick up my grandma."
Duan Ye: "There are all kinds of people these days, Grandma, are you alright?"
Hearing Duan Ye's question, the old lady's mood improved considerably: "Actually, Grandma could handle it herself; it's just that Jingchuan is making a mountain out of a molehill..."
Hearing the old lady mention Jiang Jingchuan, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "Grandma..."
The old lady immediately realized what was going on: "It's so late, it's my fault for letting you out. Go back to sleep now."
So the three of them went back to the hotel together.
When Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye returned to their room and checked the time, it was already past 10 p.m.
Luo Qingyuan lay exhausted on the bed, and Duan Ye followed suit.
So much happened that day… They were exhausted.
Luo Qingyuan turned around and leaned against Duan Ye's chest: "I'm too tired to even take a shower..."
Duan Ye smiled and ruffled Luo Qingyuan's hair: "You've been running around all day, you need to take a shower before you can sleep."
Luo Qingyuan sighed and said, "I suddenly regret bringing Grandma here..."
After all, the old lady used to live comfortably in the villa, with nannies and bodyguards following her everywhere she went; her quality of life was top-notch. But now…
There are just too many unexpected accidents.
Duan Ye also put his arm around Luo Qingyuan: "It's okay, Grandma is getting old after all, we'll just keep an eye on her."
Luo Qingyuan: "As long as you don't find us troublesome."
Duan Ye laughed: "One of you is my wife, and the other is my wife's relative. How could I find it troublesome?"
Duan Ye patted Luo Qingyuan on the back: "Be good, go take a shower first."
Luo Qingyuan remained nestled against him, her voice softening considerably: "Mmm~, let's hug a little longer."
Duan Ye's heart melted instantly, but it was already late, so he couldn't help but push Luo Qingyuan: "Okay, go wash up first, and I'll hold you while you sleep after you're done."
Luo Qingyuan's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked up at him: "Really?"
Feeling a little embarrassed under Luo Qingyuan's gaze, Duan Ye still answered her, "Really."
So, Luo Qingyuan quickly got up, grabbed a bath towel she had brought from home, and rushed into the bathroom. Her speed made Duan Ye laugh.
Duan Ye: "Slow down, be careful of the slippery ground."
Luo Qingyuan: "Okay!"
Luo Qingyuan finished showering in half an hour, and then it was Duan Ye's turn. Duan Ye showered very quickly, taking only fifteen minutes.
Around 11:30 p.m., Duan Ye finally held the fragrant Luo Qingyuan in his arms.
After a long day, they were both exhausted, but... their hearts had grown closer.
Luo Qingyuan said softly, "Aye, let's take it slow..."
Duan Ye, still groggy, stammered, "Huh? What…?"
Luo Qingyuan was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, and said haltingly, "Our marriage... we'll take it slow..."
Duan Ye gave a soft "hmm," and then the room fell silent.
After a long, long time, when Duan Ye was already fast asleep, Luo Qingyuan moved closer to him again and secretly kissed him on the lips again and again.
Luo Qingyuan's voice echoed in the empty room: "Thank you..."
Anyone else would have suspected that she and Jiang Jingchuan had an ambiguous relationship, but Duan Ye didn't; he completely trusted everything she said.
Luo Qingyuan closed her eyes again in Duan Ye's arms, feeling at ease. She would take care of everything in the Luo family and make sure Duan Ye was well and could stay with her without worry.
That night, perhaps because they had someone they liked by their side, they both slept very soundly.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
They were awakened by a series of urgent cell phone rings.
As soon as Luo Qingyuan answered the phone, she heard Cheng Suisui's somewhat nervous voice: "President Luo... please take a look at the trending topics..."
Trending topic?
Luo Qingyuan opened her eyes, turned over, rubbed her eyes, and opened Weibo.
At that moment, Duan Ye also received a call from a colleague: "Duan Ye, the main machine we repaired yesterday has a very serious malfunction. The key thing is that the higher-ups are coming to inspect it tomorrow, so you need to come and take a look as soon as possible."
Duan Ye opened his eyes, much more awake, and immediately sat up: "Okay, I'll be right there."
While Luo Qingyuan was busy checking the trending topics, Duan Ye quickly got out of bed to wash up. Two minutes later, Duan Ye came out and said to Luo Qingyuan while getting dressed, "There's an emergency at my company, and I have to go there immediately. I won't be able to take you to work today."
Luo Qingyuan looked up at him and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Duan Ye nodded, put on his shoes, grabbed his coat, and hurriedly left.
The door was quickly closed, and Luo Qingyuan's expression darkened as she could no longer contain herself.
Before Cheng Suisui could hang up, Luo Qingyuan asked, "When did this happen?"
Cheng Suisui: "President Luo... it was last night, at 2 AM, the trending topics were all over the place, Director Chen was already waiting for you at the company..."
The trending topic was the fire at Starlight Entertainment, with a focus on photos of Duan Ye and Nan Xing.
High-definition photos of Duan Ye carrying a female celebrity as they rushed out of a fire were posted, along with captions and explanations that they were childhood sweethearts. The comments were even more outrageous, with many netizens claiming that Duan Ye had liked Nan Xing since their school days, among other rumors.
Nanxing's new drama is being promoted very well because the male lead she's paired with is a popular celebrity. Currently, Nanxing and the male lead in the drama are being promoted as a couple.
So this trending topic... will not only affect the viewership of the new drama, but also Duan Ye's reputation.
Luo Qingyuan was really angry: "Didn't I say I didn't want to see these messy rumors online? What are you all doing?!"
Cheng Suisui was startled: "President Luo, I've already asked the public relations department to handle it, but the other party clearly came prepared; the trending topic remains consistently high..."
Luo Qingyuan couldn't sit still any longer: "I'll be right there. Quickly call a meeting with everyone."
Luo Qingyuan could ignore Nanxing and that so-called male celebrity, but she couldn't ignore Duan Ye.
Duan Ye is just an ordinary person. It's not something to be happy about for an ordinary person to be exposed to the public eye. His future life is likely to be affected.
and…
She was very jealous.
If this continues, the whole world will know that Duan Ye once liked Nan Xing, so what is Luo Qingyuan then?
