After A Secret Marriage With The Trending Queen - Chapter 63

Chapter 63

The internet erupted in chaos. Media outlets scrambled to report, and Weibo was completely flooded.

As they descended from the press conference, Ye Qin and Shen Lu were pursued by reporters. “Say a few words, please, just a few words!”

Watching the live video clips, the fans’ hearts were shattered.

“This is not real! Someone tell me this is not real!” “Isn’t today April Fool’s Day?!” “OMG, Qinqin is so handsome and cool!” “My heart aches~~” “……”

“Excuse me, please make way. I’ve already made everything clear,” Ye Qin refused the interviews, pulling Shen Lu into the car to leave. The moment the car door closed, the whole world seemed to become quiet.

…

As soon as they got into the car, the two of them met eyes with Wang Lin, who was seated inside, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

“Sister Wang…” Shen Lu didn’t know what to say, so she silently went and sat in the back.

Ye Qin naturally sat in the seat next to Wang Lin, fiddling with her hair that had been ruffled by the crowd of reporters.

Shen Jing, driving, couldn’t help but say, “Sister Qin, you are so cool!”

“Drive the car!” Wang Lin snapped. Shen Jing immediately fell silent and behaved himself.

Then, Wang Lin turned to Ye Qin and let out a long sigh without speaking. Company rules forbade her from dating. Now, she had gone and exposed her marriage. She was likely in for another scolding when they got back, and this time, Wang Lin wouldn’t be able to protect her.

When they reached the company building, Wang Lin told Shen Lu to wait in the car while she and Ye Qin went up. Shen Jing poked his head out and asked, “Sis, do you think the company will punish Sister Qin?”

Shen Lu shook her head, unsure. She was anxious and worried. Ye Qin might have been impulsive today, but what was the proper alternative? Was it feasible to continue hiding? No one could say for sure.

Ye Qin and Wang Lin went to the boss’s office. The boss had been waiting for a long time. Upon entering, the first thing they saw was a straight back. Wang Lin closed the door, and the boss finally turned around. Upon seeing Ye Qin, his eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically greeted her, “My little Qinqin, how have you been lately?”

Ye Qin was somewhat startled and uncomfortable by the overly warm welcome. “Boss, you asked to see me about something, right?”

“No, no, nothing at all. Um, well, your contract is about to expire, so I wanted to talk to you about renewing it. I wonder if you’re interested… Of course, the terms are negotiable, negotiable. We’ll try our best to meet whatever you propose.”

Wang Lin was also a little surprised. She thought the boss would scold them for the morning’s incident. Instead, he wanted to renew the contract. It seemed the boss had no intention of letting go of Ye Qin, this big cash cow. Her current popularity was even higher than before, and her value was soaring. Even if she didn’t renew with him, other good companies would be extending offers.

Ye Qin was smart. She neither refused nor accepted, giving a vague answer, “This matter… I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t thought about it. How about this: let me go back and think about it? Don’t I still have a month before it expires?”

“Good, good, good. You go back and think hard. I won’t disturb your rest. If you need anything, just let the company know, okay?”

Leaving the office, Ye Qin couldn’t help but say to Wang Lin, “I wonder who was planning to freeze me out before.”

Wang Lin chuckled lightly. “That’s how capitalists are, only focused on profit.”

…

Wedding Plans

“I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight. Everyone must come! It’ll be a formal introduction of my wife, Shen Lu,” Ye Qin invited the staff who had been working hard behind the scenes. She left the restaurant booking to Sister Wang.

“Wife Shen Lu… does she have to be so adorable~” “It’s too sweet!” “Are you going tonight?” “Of course I have to go…” “……”

Shen Lu was slightly surprised when she heard about the dinner. “Do I really have to go?” she whispered.

“Of course. You’re the leading lady tonight,” Ye Qin pulled her toward her walk-in closet. “Help me pick something out. As for you…” Ye Qin stroked her chin. “We’ll go buy you something at the mall later. We should wear matching couple outfits.”

Shen Lu’s jaw nearly dropped in shock. She almost felt like she was dreaming, it was so surreal.

“What are you spacing out about?” Ye Qin suddenly moved closer, her warm breath caressing Shen Lu’s ear, ticklish and warm.

“No, nothing,” Shen Lu stammered.

Ye Qin smiled slightly, pulled her to sit down beside her, and said, “Tell me honestly, do you truly love me?”

Afraid that Ye Qin would overthink it and create unnecessary misunderstandings, Shen Lu almost blurted out, “Of course, I love you.”

Ye Qin was thoroughly satisfied. She poked Shen Lu’s cheek. “Then let’s get married.”

Shen Lu pouted, “Didn’t… didn’t we already get married?”

Ye Qin picked up Shen Lu’s left hand and placed it next to her own. “Look, is anything missing?”

Shen Lu looked for a while but didn’t understand. Only after Ye Qin quietly murmured, Stupid, did she say, “We’re missing rings, aren’t we? I want to hold a wedding, our wedding.”

“Really?” Light sparked in Shen Lu’s eyes, and her heart swelled with excitement.

“I keep my word,” Ye Qin raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you believe me?”

Shen Lu bit her lip, just about to say she did when Ye Qin sealed her lips with a kiss. After a passionate exchange, Ye Qin held her chin, her voice full of captivating charm, “Now that’s a seal. You must believe me now.”

Grandma was delighted when she heard that Ye Qin and Shen Lu were going to hold a wedding ceremony. “I’ve been telling Qinqin for ages to make up the wedding for you. She kept putting it off. I’ve rushed her so many times!”

Shen Lu covered her mouth and stifled a laugh. She thought, Grandma, Ye Qin and I hadn’t confessed to each other then! Our relationship was still awkward. How could we bring up a wedding? Besides… she never even thought a day like this would come. In her imagined future, she would complete the five-year contract, take the five million, and leave.

Mother Shen was now bragging endlessly, instantly becoming a celebrity in her neighborhood. All the aunties and grandpas came over asking her for Ye Qin’s autograph, all because her daughter’s marriage to Ye Qin had been exposed. Mother Shen couldn’t help but roll her eyes. When Qinqin and her daughter were in trouble, these people were all mocking and cold. Now that Qinqin’s career was back at its peak, they all rushed to butter her up.

Father Shen, however, was bothered. He couldn’t stand the daily crowds outside his workplace, all clamoring for interviews about his daughter’s marriage.

The most benefited was Shen Jing. He was a minor celebrity now. With Ye Qin as his sister, and the two of them following each other, his Weibo followers skyrocketed. Countless people approached him for advertisements. He was raking in so much cash his hands were getting sore. He now owned the latest Apple phone, and all his clothes were designer brands.

Ye Qin was too busy with work in the afternoon to spare time, so only Shen Jing accompanied Shen Lu for the wedding dress fitting. This store was the most expensive bridal boutique in all of A-City. A single dress cost at least several hundred thousand. Shen Lu said it didn’t need to be so expensive; a wedding dress was only worn once and wasn’t practical. But Ye Qin insisted, saying she earned so much money precisely to spoil her wife. That one sentence left Shen Lu speechless.

Just moments after putting on a dress presented by the saleswoman, Shen Lu stood in front of the mirror. The surrounding lights beautifully complemented the snowy white fabric. The diamond necklace on her chest sparkled brilliantly, catching the eye.

Shen Jing was stunned. “Sis, I never expected you to have such a great figure!”

“Get lost,” Shen Lu rolled her eyes at him, then asked, “How does this set look?”

“Beautiful, beautiful. With such an expensive dress, even a pig would look good,” Shen Jing said without thinking.

“……” Shen Lu’s face darkened. “Shen Jing…..”

Shen Jing immediately covered his mouth, trying to pretend he hadn’t said anything, while the saleswoman next to them chuckled, her shoulders shaking.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Ye Qin and Shen Lu were going to hold a wedding. Regardless of support or opposition, Ye Qin didn’t care. The only thing she cared about was Shen Lu. As long as Shen Lu was happy, Ye Qin was happy. She was going to keep Shen Lu locked by her side forever.

As for their manager, Wang Lin, she had long since accepted everything. Ye Qin was no longer the girl who only wanted fame without any emotion. She now had love, and she had let go of the past to look forward.

“How about we also go get registered and have a wedding?” Wang Lin asked, holding Yang Li’s hand.
