Chapter 35: Chapter 12 A Generous Gift
Translator: 549690339
Night.
The Chen Family had booked the top floor of a five-star hotel, inviting media and peers alike.
This was the first time that the Chen Family and the Ye Family had made such a private matter so formal.
Media, naturally, was delighted to watch the excitement.
Several peers also attended; after all, such entertainment wasn’t something one could see every day.
Especially someone like Ye Bolin, who was rumored to be performing a heartfelt apology tonight.
How could they miss it?
The venue’s main hall.
Ye Xiao followed Gu Yan closely.
Indeed. For tonight’s spectacle, Mom and Dad said they were still just kids who shouldn’t get involved and told her to go to bed early at home.
Thank goodness.
Gu Yan had arrived as promised and managed to convince the butler to bring her along.
Ye Xiao wore a mask and sunglasses, disguising herself thoroughly.
When it’s time to watch the drama unfold, one must keep a low profile!
Ye Xiao cautiously looked around and soon located the legendary male protagonist, Qin Mobei!
She looked at him with some curiosity.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
This male protagonist seemed a bit more normal than Pei Yue, at least he didn’t resort to hitting people on a whim.
But.
The NPCs around him seemed even more pitiful.
When the male and female protagonists argued, the book described how he couldn’t bear to get angry with the heroine, so he’d hold his breath and randomly berate several employees after reaching his company.
When the male and female protagonists had their sweet moments, the male protagonist would be all smiles, randomly singling out a few employees to praise.
In short.
The male protagonist’s mood was an indicator of his relationship with the female protagonist, and the employees of the Qin Family became the poor cogs in their play.
Later, the female protagonist went to the male protagonist’s company and became jealous of his chief secretary, An Keqing.
To pacify the heroine and show his disdain for other women, the male protagonist publicly humiliated An Keqing.
An Keqing was also a vicious rival, who later harbored resentment towards the male protagonist for this humiliation and secretly sought support from Gu Yan to bring down the Qin Family.
Unfortunately.
Their actions were discovered by their genius son.
As a result, An Keqing met a miserable end.
In summary.
The setting of the book was such that only the heroine’s feelings mattered; everyone else had to serve their romance. Either as tools for flaunting their love or as an outlet for their frustrations.
[Does Qin Mobei know the identity of Chen Yueyue?] Ye Xiao wondered with some curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan replied calmly, “I have already passed the news on to Qin Mobei.”
[Oh?]
This made Ye Xiao excited.
[As everyone knows, the heroine belongs solely to the male protagonist; even if a supporting male character so much as touches the heroine’s hand, he faces judgement. Can the male protagonist tolerate the heroine being another man’s fiancée? Hiss, could it be a bridal theft?]
Ye Xiao speculated while watching the plot unfold.
In the book, the upcoming plot was slowly taking shape.
However, the generation of the storyline was still a bit slow, so Ye Xiao could only wait patiently.
When the time came.
Chen Feng and Guan Qin walked onto the stage with great pride.
Chen Feng cleared his throat and said, “Initially, my daughter and son-in-law just had a small misunderstanding. It was hardly necessary to trouble so many peers and media friends to come. But, my son-in-law expressed his hope for everyone to witness his sincerity. Hence, this press conference.”
“Berlin is young and his actions are not always well-considered, and this time he has made a grave mistake. However, the two kids have been together for many years, and Yueyue still wants to give him another chance. Now, let’s all witness this together.”
Chen Feng stepped aside with a smile.
Chen Yueyue was gently assisted onto the stage.
As soon as she reached the stage, she suddenly felt a burning gaze watching her intently.
Chen Yueyue looked around in surprise and then saw Qin Mobei.
Her pupils shrank suddenly.
It… it was him!
The man from that night!
How could he be here?
That night, Qin Mobei had been drugged, while she had been sober.
However, she couldn’t be found out, so she sent Qin Mobei back to his room early.
When she later wanted to find him, the hotel refused to disclose the guest information, and from then on, she lost all trace of him.
In the vast sea of people.
Chen Yueyue had thought she would never see this man again in her life.
But now.
He actually appeared.
And moreover, he was sitting in the audience, watching her with the same wolf-like gaze he had that night.
Chen Yueyue’s heart immediately became chaotic.
What to do, what to do.
Had he… recognized her as well?
But.
She was about to become another man’s wife.
Chen Yueyue’s hand subconsciously rested on her stomach.
Her child was his.
But.
This was something she could never reveal.
That night. Let it be a dream.
She would forget.
He would too.
As for the child, she would raise him well together with Bolin.
Only this way would it meet everyone’s expectations.
As for her love, it could only be buried forever.
Tears swimming in her eyes, Chen Yueyue slowly shifted her gaze away.
She was Ye Bolin’s fiancée.
She couldn’t.
And she didn’t dare to pursue true love.
He should… understand her as well.
Ye Bolin watched Chen Yueyue and Qin Mobei’s interaction calmly, with a trace of an indifferent smile on his lips.
If these two could admit their relationship in public, he might even acknowledge their true love.
Seeing their restrained appearance, it seemed they knew their relationship couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
But how could true love be concealed?
Today, he was certainly going to add fuel to the fire.
Ye Bolin smiled and walked over to Chen Yueyue.
Chen Yueyue was still immersed in the eye contact with Qin Mobei, feeling somewhat restless.
A smile played on Ye Bolin’s lips, “Yueyue, tonight, I have prepared a big surprise for you, I hope you’ll like it.”
Chen Yueyue immediately perked up, “What is it?”
The gifts from Ye Bolin were always of great value.
This time would be no exception.
“You’ll know when you listen,” Ye Bolin picked up his phone, opened an audio file, and placed it in front of the microphone.
Chen Yueyue’s interest suddenly waned.
It was probably some romantic confessions recorded by Ye Bolin himself.
These were of no use at all, it was real gold and silver that interested her more.
Chen Yueyue was thinking this.
Suddenly.
The voice of Ye Bingtong came from the audio.
Chen Yueyue’s expression froze for a moment.
“Sister Yueyue, are you saying… this child isn’t my big brother’s?”
The voice of Ye Bingtong was incredibly clear.
The venue was suddenly silent.
And then there was an uproar.
What the hell!
Wasn’t it agreed that this was a public apology? But this is such a bombshell to drop from the start!
Immediately, flashbulbs began flashing wildly.
Chen Yueyue’s complexion turned slightly pale.
She vaguely remembered when this conversation took place.
And what was going to follow…
Chen Yueyue subconsciously tried to snatch the phone.
Ye Bolin, expressionless, grabbed her hand firmly, “Yueyue, a gift I’ve sent out has never been taken back. You have accepted so many gifts from me before, this time, you should accept this one as well!”
