Chapter 36 Secret
The roads were clear at night, not as congested as when Bai You went to the station to pick up Qiu Wan.
So it only took about ten minutes from leaving Bai You's residence to entering Meng Qingyan's room.
In ten minutes, Bai You carefully read Qiu Wan's official announcement and clarification.
Jiao Qianhe cooperated naturally. He used to be hidden behind the scenes, but now his identity was exposed and was quickly uncovered by netizens.
Although he helped his parents with business early on, he has always been clean over the years and there has been no eye-catching gossip or other revelations.
The comment section finally calmed down, without any bloodshed.
Although the traffic is not low, it is indeed as Qiu Wan said, most people are very rational and there are almost no extreme remarks.
Bai You flipped through the next twenty pages of comments anxiously. Although some people were joking about how funny it was that their friendship was ruined by a scandal because of a coupon, most of them were sincere blessings.
There are many insiders among them.
"It's really nice to have a relationship blessed by everyone." Bai You said softly.
"Others have it," Meng Qingyan looked down at him, "Teacher Bai will have it in the future, too."
Bai You smiled but did not comment.
He was just happy for Qiu Wan.
Qiu Wan is pregnant, and there is actually not much difference between her and him.
So don’t be greedy and think there will be something else after that.
"Qiu Wan will most likely get engaged in the fall," he said, "and I only have a few months to prepare a gift."
Then he asked Meng Qingyan: "If your company customizes jewelry, will it be very expensive?"
"It depends on the situation," Meng Qingyan said, "find a designer of a certain level, or you can make the design yourself and we will just customize it for you."
Bai You doesn't understand design. Although he has the intention, he believes that the final product produced by a professional designer will definitely be more perfect than what he has come up with after racking his brains.
"The best designer." Bai You said.
Meng Qingyan said a number that was shockingly high.
Bai You counted on his fingers for a long time.
He wanted to buy a house for his mother and order a set of jewelry for Qiu Wan to make her the most beautiful bride-to-be...
Both things are equally important.
Fortunately, he had just taken on an endorsement and could still get a mortgage loan on his house.
"But given our relationship, I can give you a discount." Meng Qingyan said again.
Hearing this, Bai You's eyes lit up instantly: "How much discount?"
"Fifty percent discount?" Meng Qingyan said, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. "After all, Teacher Bai can get a fifty percent discount when he goes to Tianfu for dinner."
On the Internet, after Qiu Wan’s clarification, Tianfu officials also gave very reasonable proof.
On the photo wall, Bai You, Qiu Wan and the chef’s photo were clearly visible.
Everyone knows that such photos posted in the public area of the hotel clearly mean that the two people are open and honest and have no intention of hiding anything.
The official also stated that the two people did use a 50% off coupon when checking out, as Qiu Wan had clarified.
After taking the photo, the store will give out new coupons.
For a while, many netizens wanted to form groups to go to Tianfu for dinner, hoping to meet the two people holding the coupons.
In this farce, Tianfu almost became the biggest winner.
When Meng Qingyan said this “50% discount”, Bai You was not sure for a moment whether he was sincere or just making fun of him like he did on the Internet.
So he said, "I haven't decided to choose Meng yet."
"Then Mr. Bai, you can think about it seriously," Meng Qingyan smiled, trying to attract business for his family, "I'll show you some sample books from several designers later to see if there's any style you like."
The destination has been reached, the door opened, the light was turned on, and Xiaoliang rushed over.
After circling around their feet for a few times, he finally licked Baiyou's toes.
Bai You smiled, squatted down and held Xiaoliang in his arms.
Compared to the last time he came over, Xiaoliang seemed to have gained weight, his face had almost become a perfect circle, and he felt even heavier in his arms.
"What did you feed it?" Bai You laughed, "Why is it gaining weight so quickly?"
But it was obvious that he had no intention of really getting an answer from Meng Qingyan, and soon he started pinching Xiaoliang's pad and playing with it.
"You stay with it first." Meng Qingyan looked at him with a deep smile in his eyes, "I'll go to the study to take care of some official business."
Meng Qingyan is always very busy, so Bai You was not surprised. He nodded and went to look for snacks for Xiaoliang.
After playing with Xiaoliang in the living room for about half an hour, public opinion on the Internet finally began to slowly subside, and Bai You also felt sleepy.
"Meng Qingyan," he knocked on the door, "I'm going to sleep first."
There was clearly a slight movement in the study just now, but for some reason, after he finished speaking, it suddenly became quiet.
Bai You was a little confused and began to suspect that Meng Qingyan was not working in there, but was looking at something shameful.
He pushed the door open, looked around, and tried to catch the culprit in the act.
But then he realized how outrageous he was.
On the huge screen in the study and in the online conference room, although all the participants tried their best to keep calm on their faces, the shock and gossip in their eyes almost broke through the screen.
Bai You: “…”
He pursed his lips and subconsciously stepped back.
After a while, the study door opened again and Meng Qingyan walked out.
He suppressed the slightly raised corners of his lips, but the smile in his eyes was deep.
Bai You had originally prepared to apologize to him, but when he saw his expression at this moment, he knew that this person not only didn't mind, but was also laughing at him madly in his heart.
Bai You turned his eyes away and muttered quietly: "Laugh if you want."
But Meng Qingyan didn't laugh out loud. He just raised his hand, held his wrist, and pulled him closer.
"The camera only captured you from the waist up," he said, "but they should have heard you clearly."
Bai You: “…”
For a moment I didn't know whether I should express my relief.
"But it doesn't matter," Meng Qingyan added, "No one dares to recognize your voice."
Bai You: “?”
"Isn't this word 'dare' a bit strange?" he asked.
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan finally couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
He raised his hand and held Bai You's cheek, a smile flowing freely in his dark eyes.
"Mr. Bai," he said, "you are so cute."
"I just said seven words." Bai You didn't think Meng Qingyan was so kind that he would sincerely praise him. Although his lips were pouting, he still analyzed seriously, "Besides, I was a little sleepy just now, and my voice is not the same as usual. Also, I'm not red..."
Bai You slowly became happy and hit back, "No one can recognize my voice, they will just say you are messing around."
Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes to look at him. Somehow, he suddenly leaned over and hugged him tightly in his arms.
The hug was so sudden and too strong that Bai You was surprised for a moment.
But Meng Qingyan quickly let him go without any change in his expression.
"No one will recognize your voice," he said, raising his hand to ruffle Baiyou's hair, "Go to bed, there will be a show tomorrow."
But Bai You didn't fall asleep quickly.
He was obviously very sleepy just now, but now lying on the bed, his spirit gradually became full again.
It seemed as if Meng Qingyan's arms were still around his waist.
He could even still feel the strong emotions in the other person's heart as he held him tightly.
Bai You was a little annoyed.
Looking in the dim light of the wall lamp, he could see a few faint wrinkles on the back waist of his cotton and linen shirt.
It was as if the hug just now left a mark on this shirt.
He sat up again and tried to look for a garment steamer or some other tool like an iron.
Meng Qingyan’s dressing room is just opposite the bedroom, but this is Bai You’s first time coming in.
The garment steamer is placed in a corner of the room and doesn't seem to be used often.
Bai You walked over and saw the jewelry cabinet next to it.
Watches, tie clips, cufflinks, brooches, and even a lot of earrings and bracelets...
Under the light, the jewelry cabinet was filled with jewels so dazzling that they seemed to blind people's eyes, but Bai You noticed that among all the jewelry, only rings were missing.
Not a single ring.
Moreover, it is very different from Meng Qingyan’s usual dressing style.
Softer and more graceful, at a glance he guessed that these should all be brand new.
Bai You stood in front of the jewelry cabinet in a daze. After a while, he looked up at the entire cloakroom and found another jewelry cabinet at the entrance.
The style is completely different from this one. Bai You can recognize it at a glance. It is Meng Qingyan's style.
Direct, calm, and sharp, most watches have black wristbands, no bracelets or other accessories, but there are more rings...
Bai You had seen Meng Qingyan wearing two of them.
This doesn't look like Meng Qingyan's dressing room.
To be precise, this might be a dressing room for two people.
Because if you use the jewelry cabinet where he is as the dividing line, the clothing styles on both sides are different.
And it is obvious that the clothing size on the side close to Bai You is obviously smaller than that on the side next to it.
And most of the suits don't seem to have the tags cut off.
The tag of a suit behind him seemed to be untidy, or maybe someone had taken it out and touched it carefully, and half of the tag was sticking out from the gap between the buttons.
Bai You saw that it was his size.
For a long time, Bai You's mind was foggy and he lost his judgment.
Some past news about Meng Qingyan began to emerge in my mind.
Since his debut, Meng Qingyan has been photographed entering and leaving the "grid" more than once.
In addition to his background, he was labeled as a "playboy" and "funny" for a long time.
The reputation is not very good.
However, many years have passed, and even the media who had been squatting in front of his door all night have been driven away one after another. Up to now, Meng Qingyan still has zero scandals.
Probably no one would have thought that Meng Qingyan actually had someone he liked very much.
They even liked it so much that they decorated their home as a home for the two of them.
Then, Bai You remembered his first night with Meng Qingyan.
It is in "one grid."
Maybe they met and fell in love in "Yi Ge", so he likes it so much?
And that night was not a coincidence, it was just because Meng Qingyan mistook himself for the other person.
After all, Bai You's eyes moved away from the half label...
After all, the other person wore the same size clothes as him, so he should have a similar figure.
It is obvious that the relationship between the two has already been made clear, and the other party's past, experience, or secrets have nothing to do with themselves.
But inexplicably, Bai You still felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart.
But he has always been very self-aware, so he quickly suppressed this strange and helpless feeling.
Bai You did not use Meng Qingyan's hanging iron. He quietly left the cloakroom and returned to the bedroom.
The bedroom was still empty, Meng Qingyan had not finished his work yet.
Bai You looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the morning on the last day of May.
At one o'clock in the morning on May 31st, Bai You warned himself to be more careful in what he said and did in the future and not to touch other people's secrets easily.
