Chapter 73



[Jinhua Times]

[Close interview with Yan's president]

An interview video from Jinhua Times went viral on the Internet in early December.

Jinhua Times, more than ten years ago, gave a whole week's worth of headlines to the article "The Flower of Loswei" which was photographed by Shi Xianyuan, one of the leaders of the Yan family. Many years later, Jinhua Times used the power of its platform and finally got the opportunity to interview the current leader of the Yan family.

The video is only a little over a minute long.

At the beginning, the camera is facing a handsome man in a suit and tie. His eyebrows are sharp, black and thick, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, and his contours are clear, like a sculpture.

The host's voiceover: "Mr. Yan, is your Losway flower for Miss Chao Juan?"

Yan Yongwang's answer was concise and to the point: "Yes."

In the video, his eyes were very cold, with only a slight fluctuation when he mentioned the word "Chao Juan".

Host: "I heard that the Flower of Loswei was given to you by your mother? It was a piece of jewelry that she wanted to give to her daughter-in-law... You gave it to Chao Juan. Does it mean that she will move into the Yan family?"

Yan Yongwang's expression froze for a moment, but only people who were close to him could see this freeze.

Because Yan Yongwang often has an indifferent and expressionless look, even if his emotions are stiff, it is difficult to detect.

He frowned slightly for a moment, then quickly smoothed his brows.

Before he could answer, the host asked: "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Miss Chao Juan——"

"..." There was a silence. He stared at the camera with a compelling gaze, blinked slowly, and soon, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Yongwang, who almost never smiles in front of the camera, showed a little restrained emotion in front of the camera, but the emotion was fleeting.

"Mr. Yan——"

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded in the video: "We know each other. It's the most intimate relationship you can think of."

Chen He: "Boss!!!"

Yan Yongwang: "What?"

On the phone, Chen He was quite excited: "You? And Miss Chao Juan, are you going to make it public?"

Yan Yongwang: "Why do you say that?"

Chen He: "You? When you were interviewed, didn't you say that you had the closest relationship?"

Yan Yongwang said calmly: "Before that, I would like to ask you a question."

"It is said that only the daughter-in-law of the Yan family is qualified to obtain the Flower of Loswei... Who said this?"

If it weren't for the host's words, he wouldn't have easily said in front of the camera that he and Chao Juan had a "close" relationship.

Because of this sentence, even if he wanted to distance himself from the matter, he couldn't do so at that moment.

If I distance myself from the matter at that time, it would damage the reputation of "Chao Juan".

Yan Yongwang knows better than anyone that this society is much more critical of women than men. If he denies it and says that it never happened, then with his identity as "Yan Yongwang" in front, "Chao Juan" will be ridiculed by countless netizens with disdain and malicious attitude. He doesn't want to see this situation, so he chooses to half-acquiesce and half-tell the truth.

If he had not picked this necklace from Ms. Shi Xianyuan's jewelry collection that day, he probably would not have encountered such a situation.

But it's really no wonder that he has such a broad vision. The "Flower of Loswei", which is generally recognized as the most beautiful, is indeed beautiful in Yan Yongwang's opinion.

Now that I've bought the necklace, it's better to wear it out instead of leaving it at home to gather dust.

He chose it and wore it, but he never expected the consequences.

But it was within his acceptable range.

"…In fact, this rumor has been around for more than ten years."

The main reason was that Shi Xianyuan said at the time that she would give the necklace to her son in the future, and she didn’t care who her son gave it to, after all, the ownership of the necklace belonged to her son.

Not to mention, after Shi Xianyuan and his wife passed away, such a valuable inheritance reflected Yan Yongwang's cherishment for his parents. If it was not for someone who was very close to him, he would never give it away easily.

Everyone subconsciously thought that Yan Yongwang would only give such an expensive necklace to his closest people.

——Then, the young and beautiful Miss Chao Juan should be his lover.

Shen He: “Why do you ask this?”

Yan Yong laughed: "Nothing."

Chen He: "You? Is this considered public with her?"

Yan Yongwang said half-truthfully: "What do you think is the most intimate relationship besides being a lover?"

"?" Chen He replied blankly, "What else could it be related to?"

Yan Yong sighed and thought, it could be just one person.

But this secret can only be kept in my heart and cannot be told to anyone.

He said, "Okay."

Chen He: Whatever you want? From the tone of your voice, does the boss still think that the word "lover" is not quite what he wants?

Then he changed his way of saying it.

Chen He said solemnly: "They are in a very close relationship, and they could be husband and wife."

Yan Yong was stunned. What's up with the tone of this romance channel?

After Chen He said this, he felt that he was being too ambiguous. He coughed twice and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I've heard too much gossip from my colleagues in the tea room recently, and I've also watched a lot of TV dramas..."

The influence is so subtle that even the secretary has become very knowledgeable about love and marriage.

Yan Yongwang: “…”

He held his forehead and said nothing more.

Finally, Chen He repeated the previous question, "You? Is this considered public with her?"

The current situation is that only Yan Yongwang knows that this has nothing to do with "publicity", but everyone else thinks that Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan have some kind of relationship.

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute it at all.

Fortunately, this scandal has no impact on him at the moment.

If there really was a woman who had such a scandal with him, Yan Yongwang might have to do his best to clarify it to avoid misunderstanding among the public.

But Chao Juan is him, he is Chao Juan himself.

Once an ambiguous relationship is exposed, everything will be under control because he is the person involved.

He is fearless.

And everyone had no idea what was going on. They just thought it was very strange that Chao Juan was related to Yan Yongwang.

Some netizens still don't believe it, and their opinions are as follows.

: I have never seen them in the same frame. Even if they have a necklace, I think they are definitely not a couple.

: yyw's statement did not directly say that they were a couple, they were close friends, and they could also be siblings! balabla (This comment is followed by a bunch of guesses, and the conclusion is that it is speculated that Chao Juan and Yan Yongwang are relatives, but because the credibility is too low, it has no reference value)

: Yan Yongwang said that, has Chao Juan admitted it herself? I'm waiting for both sides to prove it. Without it, I won't believe it.

In addition to the above remarks, some people also commented on the fluctuation in Yan Yongwang's eyes when he heard the name "Chao Juan" in the video.

: Mr. Yan always has a blank expression on his face, but when he hears Chao Juan's name, he seems to be a little tender.

: No, no, the cold-blooded CEO finally fell into the trap of a beauty one day, right? For the beauty, he actually smiled!

: I watched this video over and over again, and I could actually pick out the candy... Mr. Yan looked so handsome when his lips curled up...

:_(:з」∠)_I want to know Chao Juan’s reaction to this video.

In the company group, Chen He could also see several colleagues talking about Chao Juan, saying whether Chao Juan would become the wife of the president of the Yan family in the future?

He, a mysterious man who knew most of the inside story about these two people, Mr. Secretary, silently raised his non-existent glasses frame in the dark and thought: He thought it was very likely!

Although he was a little frightened by Yan Yongwang's behavior of detaining people in Yan's villa for several months, and even felt guilty towards Chao Juan, but his boss's recent behavior seemed to have found the right way to fall in love.

It made him very satisfied and he also had more expectations for the future.

...Mr. Secretary sincerely looks forward to the day when he can see Chao Juan marry into the Yan family.

==

When Chao Lingxi saw the relevant news, he was confused for a long time, and then contacted Baby Ezi.

"Um, the necklace..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Yongwang knew what he was going to say.

He simply explained the whole story and shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. You're the only one who knows this secret. Others just think that Chao Juan and I are two independent people." So, it's only natural to think as in the hot searches and news.

No one would have thought that Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan were the same person.

Because such an absurd thing could never happen in reality, a man and a woman - could they be the same person?

Yan Yong finished speaking seriously, and the other end fell silent.

After a long time, he said to Lingxi: "It's pretty good."

Yan Yongwang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He heard Chao Lingxi say: "No one will dare to pursue you this way."

"What?"

It only took Chao Lingxi a few minutes to change from being shocked to being calm. He said, "Whether you are a man or a woman, you are the best of your gender. The best and the best are together. No one will dare to pursue you."

Yan Yongwang frowned slowly.

"Telepathy."

"Hmm?" He raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yongwang said: "You are very different from my parents. They have never said that they don't want me to find a partner, but you don't seem to want me to find a partner at all."

Chao Lingxi: "Because no one in this world is worthy of you?" This sounds very normal, and it is completely what a father says from his perspective.

But Yan Yongwang still felt something was wrong, and he said, "What else?" He thought of Joey and Chen Ye.

Chao Lingxi was completely wary and disgusted with Joey and Chen Ye. He said it was because they were bad guys - Yan Yongwang accepted this answer.

But he couldn't understand the disgust in Chao Lingxi's tone towards all men and women who tried to approach him.

Even at the beginning, he was wary of his secretary Mr. Shen He and was hostile to him.

Yan Yongwang: "You said the time has come, then you should explain the reason to me clearly. So now, is the time right?"

Towards Lingxi: “…”

In the capital of December, a phone call connected them. With the sound of electricity, he heard Chao Lingxi's breathing, slow and weak, but Yan Yongwang did not get an answer immediately.

He asked, and Lingxi thought for a long while before he said quietly, "Because I don't want you to be too attached to this world."

"All of——"

"I hate anything that tries to make you cling to this world."

Chao Lingxi's voice was cold and low, he murmured: "You? Are my child, you shouldn't be in this world..."

It snowed in the capital last night, but today the sun came out, shining brightly as if it could melt the snow.

As he spoke, it suddenly snowed despite being a bright sunny day.

Snowflakes fell from the window, and the courtyard of the Yan family villa was covered with a layer of white snow.

Chao Lingxi's voice stopped.

He chuckled, "It's snowing."

Yan Yongwang's brows were still furrowed as he whispered, "Yes, it's snowing." Coincidence or accident?

Chao Lingxi resumed his usual happy and excited tone: "You? Just be patient and wait!" He was even acting coquettishly. In the past, Yan Yongwang would feel sick when he heard him say this. He would roll his eyes and whisper back, telling him not to act coquettishly.

But today he fell silent, looking at the snowflakes outside, and did not return for a long time.

Then, he whispered to Chao Lingxi: "Are you sad?"

Towards Lingxi: “…”

He smiled and said, "No, I'm not sad."

So why are the snowflakes falling so heavily?

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yongwang inexplicably felt a slight pain in his heart. It was very mild and lasted only for a few moments before disappearing.

However, he remembered this feeling.

And afterwards, he remembered it firmly, long, and forever.

December 24th.

Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas.

It happened to be a working day, and Yan Yongwang and Shen He went on a business trip to Ling City. The project they were on was the restoration of the project after the earthquake, and they needed to go to Ling City for a field investigation.

Previously, the video of Yan Yongwang being interviewed went viral on the Internet, with many people discussing the relationship between the two. The media also hoped to interview the other party involved, but unfortunately Chao Juan never accepted it.

As a result, a rumor gradually spread on the Internet that Chao Juan did not come forward to admit it because he must have some concerns.

However, some people in the circle of the capital's famous socialites and young masters said on Weibo and other public social software that they all knew that Chao Juan was in a relationship with Yan Yongwang.

So why don’t they make it public? It’s just the couple’s own business.

If there are people in the circle, the netizens who are watching the fun are 70% to 80% sure of this relationship.

Many fans who like Yan Yongwang expressed their feelings on Weibo Square in the topic "Chao Juan Yan Yongwang", and felt that it was really sad that the national husband was no longer single.

At first glance, there was wailing everywhere.

But they couldn't say that Chao Juan was not worthy of him.

Not only is Chao Juan beautiful, but she is also rich.

Of course, her assets are not as good as Yan's, but she is alone, and she is a woman. With such wealth, she can beat many people in the country. Many men do not have as much assets as her. If she and Yan Yongwang can really be together, it will be a strong cooperation, and no one can say that she is just hanging out with a rich man.

Chao Juan has more fans than you might imagine. She is somewhat connected to the entertainment industry, and has countless male fans.

Regardless of gender, many humans are jealous and envious of those who are better than themselves.

Most men disdain those female colleagues and friends in their circle of friends who always shout that Yan Yongwang is the "national husband", thinking that they worship money and only care about looks.

But once the goddess they liked got involved with Yan Yongwang, many men became furious.

Because Chao Juan never publicly spoke of his relationship with Yan Yongwang, even though some people in the capital's upper class circles said that Chao Juan had admitted it - but the effect of not having a social media account suddenly became apparent at this moment, as the male fans turned a deaf ear to it and said with certainty: It doesn't count if the goddess hasn't admitted it!

They even gave Yan Yongwang the character setting of "still pursuing Chao Juan", and the "Flower of Loswei" was also given by him in order to pursue someone.

[Chao Juan is currently being pursued by Yan Yongwang.] This is what many male fans say.

The goddess they like is being pursued by the "national husband" Yan Yongwang, which makes Yan Yongwang look a bit inferior.

For this kind of face-saving thing, male fans took to the square to speak out, learning from the fan circle:

: Someone should not define the relationship without Chao Juan's consent [吃瓜]

: Without any public announcement from both parties, it’s a bit unreasonable for someone to say in front of the media that they have a close relationship. Haha.

: As long as Chao Juan admits it, without publicly admitting it, the so-called romantic relationship is all fake.

Chen He had also read these remarks, and therefore had asked not long ago: "Why don't you come out and clarify?" Those remarks were so sarcastic and presumptuous of Yan Yong that he frowned as he read them.

Yan Yongwang: "How to clarify?"

Chen He hesitated for a while: "Just, let Miss Chao Juan come out and talk?"

Yan Yongwang: "That's not necessary."

Chen He: "...?"

He said indifferently: "It's not necessary."

At that moment, Chen He felt that his boss was really confident.

Men, are you always like this after you fall in love?

He announced it unilaterally and that was it. He didn't really care whether the woman wanted to make it official or not.

It can be seen that Yan Yongwang has a strong sense of self-awareness and doesn't care what others think.

Chen He thought for a moment: Could it be that Chao Juan didn't want people to know that they were together? That shouldn't be the case. If Chao Juan hadn't admitted it at the beginning, he wouldn't have had to admit in public to those rich ladies and gentlemen that he and Yan Yongwang were in love.

I can't figure it out.

I really can't figure it out.

Yan Yongwang never thought that his indifference would make Chen He suspicious and feel that everything was strange, but the unreasonable things could not be explained.

In short, it's a real headache.

In the end, Chen He could only attribute it to the two people's taste: Maybe this is what it's like when a CEO and a rich and beautiful woman fall in love. As an ordinary person, he really doesn't understand.

On Christmas Eve, the plane landed in Ling City.

On the way to the hotel with the suitcase, the streets were decorated with colorful lights, the Christmas trees were hung with small gift pendants, and the windows of the shopping malls were covered with red and green stickers.

Ling City is like spring all year round, and it is almost impossible to snow. However, there have been times when the weather suddenly turned cold and some hail fell.

When I arrived in Ling City in December, I saw that the clothes worn by tourists on the streets were very thin. They didn't wear short-sleeved suspenders, but they did wear thin shirts.

Chen He looked at the streets of Ling City, and a familiar yet strange feeling came over him: Last October, he and his boss came to Ling City together...

In Ling City Cemetery, he met Chao Lingxi, who made him dare not run around and visit the city's anomalies when he was on business trips.

Thinking about it now, it’s quite ridiculous: the situation when I met Chao Lingxi was so strange that it’s hard to describe.

Back to the point, Shen He said: "Contact the government tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to take a look at the construction situation on the spot."

Yan Yongwang replied: "Okay."

Christmas Eve, eat apples.

Western festivals were also celebrated in China. On the streets of Ling City, many couples were traveling together, and there were also female friends walking together, laughing and joking as they went to restaurants.

The red fruit stalls on the street were selling peace apples on the radio.

Chen He: "Boss."

Yan Yongwang didn't even raise his head: "Hmm?"

Chen He: "You? Did you give a gift?"

Yan Yongwang: “……?”

Chen He saw Yan Yongwang's facial expression was blank for a moment, and soon he realized something, "Gift, I——"

He immediately remembered his own personality, which was “having a girlfriend” and “his girlfriend is Chao Juan”, and his identity as a president.

“…”

"Thanks for the reminder."

Yan Yongwang thanked him expressionlessly.

Chen He was quite pleased: "That's right, if you're dating, you should remember to give your partner gifts on every holiday."

“…”

After a while, Chen He asked seriously, "Do you need my advice?"

Ever since the secretary learned about the romantic relationship between Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan, he began to learn the "professional ethics of a secretary."

About choosing gifts for the boss' girlfriend, about suggesting a date place for the boss to take his girlfriend on holidays...

Etc., etc. There are so many types, he thinks if he quits his job as a secretary, he can work as a planner in a marriage and dating company.

Yan Yongwang: “No need.”

Chen He: "Really don't want it?" He still felt quite sorry.

Yan Yongwang was speechless: "Thank you, it's really not necessary."

Shen He said regretfully: “Okay then.”

When we arrived at the hotel, we took our luggage to the VIP suite.

Chen He was in a good mood, mainly because he was very happy about the Christmas Eve atmosphere outside. He was already thinking about what to eat tonight.

Thoughts in his mind were floating around like clouds. When Chen He was getting out of the elevator, he thought of the embarrassing situation when he ran into Chao Juan at the Yan family villa.

Later he said he wanted the boss to bring Miss Chao Juan to meet him formally...

Yan Yongwang said that this matter needed to be consulted with Chao Juan's opinion.

Previously, he always felt that the relationship between Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan was a bit forced, so Chao Juan did not agree. And if he was asked to talk to Chao Juan in person, Chen He did not know where to start, and the guilty feeling made him unable to speak clearly in front of Chao Juan.

Recently, Chen He has regained confidence in the relationship between Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan.

He thought that during the live broadcast celebration last month, Chao Juan was willing to wear the necklace given by Yan Yongwang, which meant that she must like Yan Yongwang very much.

So... maybe forced love is just a means, and they do love each other after all.

Love can solve all problems.

He can look forward to the boss and Chao Juan coming hand in hand to have a formal meeting with him soon, right?

Chen He was full of joy and fantasized about the future, and he was very excited. Yan Yongwang didn't understand his excitement, and thought coldly, is Mr. Secretary so happy because he is back in Ling City?

The question is, is there anything worth being happy about in Ling City?

Could it be that the experience of coming to Ling City last October was worth remembering?

Straight man Yan Yongwang: scratching his head.jpg

Immersed in his fantasy, Shen He was completely unaware of a problem that many netizens had already realized earlier than him—

Yan Yongwang has never appeared in the same frame with Chao Juan.

Regarding their scandal, among all the spectators, there is only one token, one video, and some comments from people in the circle.

The token is the "Losway Flower". The video is Yan Yongwang's words. The comments are from some celebrities who relayed what they saw, saying that Chao Juan and Yan Yongwang were indeed together.

However, no one has ever seen them actually appear in an event.

Whether it was holding hands, hugging, or even kissing, no one had ever seen their appearance.

They are like a pair of lovers who never appear at the same time.

The subtle and sticky ambiguity is hidden in words and tokens. Their intimacy is unobserved by anyone, and their love is like night and day.

——Never met before the eyes of the world.

The author has something to say: #This short drama is purely fictional, and is told from the perspective of the spectators. It is fictional, so don’t take it seriously! #

A literary summary, combined with a fantasy plot of forced love:

They were lovers who never appeared in the same occasion. She hated him to the core, and he loved her like a madman.
