After Secretly Marrying the Top Celebrity, I Fell in Love - Chapter 20

This was Bo Yiyan’s first time going to Beijing.

For Bo Yiyan, Beijing was just an impression in her mind, entirely sourced from textbook knowledge.

In her impression, it had the winding and magnificent Great Wall, the Tiananmen Square with the portrait of the great leader hanging, and the Five-Starred Red Flag that rose with the sun every day.

Additionally, there were the loud hawking cries of vendors selling tanghulu (sugar-coated haws) on the streets.

Of course, in this day and age, there shouldn’t be peddlers hawking tanghulu; instead, there would be all sorts of storefronts.

The plane was scheduled for 9 AM, and the flight from C City to Beijing would take about three hours.

After getting off the plane, to avoid being spotted by fans and causing airport congestion, Ye Manqing, as always, chose to use the VIP channel.

Bo Yiyan followed Ye Manqing from a distance of about two meters.

As soon as they exited the VIP channel, a large group of fans emerged from nowhere, quickly surrounding Ye Manqing. Such a situation was already commonplace.

When frequenting such public places, Ye Manqing, besides bringing her assistant, was also accustomed to bringing two bodyguards. Additionally, the airport also had security personnel to provide escort.

The two bodyguards and several security personnel quickly stepped forward, keeping the fervent fans a meter away, maintaining a safe distance.

“Teacher Ye, we love you!!”

“Teacher Ye is so beautiful today! Ahhh! So beautiful!!”

“Teacher Ye, look this way! Look this way!”

Ye Manqing did not rush to leave immediately. Instead, she raised her hand, removed the sunglasses from her nose, smiled and nodded at the fans, and waved hello.

Ye Manqing’s smile and wave made the already excited fans even more worked up. They were all ecstatic, and the sound of screaming was incessant.

Amidst the crowd, flashbulbs clicked “kacha kacha” non-stop. Taking advantage of the chaos, Bo Yiyan secretly slipped away from the side.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the big star Ye Manqing, so naturally no one would notice Bo Yiyan sneaking away from the side.

Seizing the opportunity, Bo Yiyan quickly walked a distance, identified the license plate, bent down, and slipped into the commercial vehicle that was there to pick them up. After two or three minutes, the commercial vehicle then drove towards the VIP exit.

“Alright, everyone please head home.”

“Be careful on the road.”

“Be sure to stay safe.”

Ye Manqing gave the fans a careful round of instructions, and then, escorted by the bodyguards, Ye Manqing and her assistant entered a silver commercial vehicle one after the other.

The moment the car door closed, the clamor was sealed off outside.

As soon as Ye Manqing got into the car, she immediately looked for Bo Yiyan’s figure in the cabin, worried that she hadn’t gotten in yet. Clearly, her worry was unnecessary.

In the back seat, Bo Yiyan raised her hand to remove the mask from her face, lifted her head, and flashed Ye Manqing a smile.

“Teacher Ye.”

Ye Manqing sat directly next to Bo Yiyan and subconsciously grabbed Bo Yiyan’s hand and held it lightly.

“Xiao Bai, were you squeezed just now?” The woman’s eyes showed obvious concern, completely undisguised.

“No.” Bo Yiyan shook her head clearly, her face flushed, and her peripheral vision glanced at the others in the car.

Besides Ye Manqing and Bo Yiyan, there was the assistant and the two bodyguards who had gotten in afterward, as well as the driver in the driver’s seat.

The burly bodyguards wore black sunglasses, their faces stern and expressionless. Qingqing reacted quickly; just a second before Bo Yiyan looked at her, she had already collected her “shipping” expression, returning a formal smile to Bo Yiyan. Uncle Zhang, the driver, sat in the driver’s seat and didn’t have time to look back.

Uncle Zhang didn’t know what had happened. He hadn’t seen his miss in a long time, so he turned around with a big smile, looking towards the back seat.

“Miss, are we going straight back to the old madam’s place, or back to your own home?”

“Back to mine.” Ye Manqing naturally let go of Bo Yiyan’s hand and looked up at the driver’s seat.

“Alrighty~” Uncle Zhang smiled kindly, then turned to the side and fastened his seatbelt.

The car started.

The roads in Beijing were indeed as famously congested as the rumors suggested. What should have been about an hour’s drive from the airport to the Yihe Villa District in Haidian was extended by a good half hour.

With the long drive, Bo Yiyan felt a little drowsy. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and Bo Yiyan kept forcing herself to stay awake. But in the end, Bo Yiyan couldn’t resist the waves of sleepiness that struck her and fell asleep with her head tilted.

Ye Manqing was used to drinking a cup of coffee to refresh herself after waking up in the morning, so she didn’t feel sleepy at the moment.

And the person next to her was already asleep.

Seeing this, Ye Manqing moved closer to Bo Yiyan so that Bo Yiyan could rest her head on her shoulder and sleep more comfortably.

The car suddenly took a right turn. Due to inertia, Bo Yiyan’s body swayed, and her head naturally rested on Ye Manqing’s shoulder, completely oblivious.

From the diagonally upper position, Qingqing looked at the scene before her with excitement, blinking her big eyes, her blood boiling, and her internal monologue intense.

Holding hands, sleeping on the shoulder. Oh my gosh! Teacher Ye is so doting!!

In just two short days, the emotional progress of these two is almost as fast as a rocket. Wait a minute… Is this trip back to Beijing to meet the parents?!

She really wanted to move the marriage registry office here and have the two of them get married right now!

…

Bo Yiyan slept the entire way until the car drove into the Yihe Villa District and finally stopped in front of a beautiful, detached villa.

Ye Manqing didn’t speak, and no one else did either.

About five minutes later, the sleeping Bo Yiyan slowly opened her eyelids and found herself resting her head on Ye Manqing’s chest, nestled in her arms.

“…” Bo Yiyan immediately straightened up and was too embarrassed to look Ye Manqing in the eye.

“Xiao Bai, we’ve arrived.” Ye Manqing’s gentle and textured voice came from beside her ear.

“Let’s get out of the car.”

The woman squinted her silver-fox eyes and, as she spoke, very naturally took Bo Yiyan’s hand.

“…!” Bo Yiyan suddenly looked up, her gaze meeting Ye Manqing’s.

It sparked a dazzling fire.

“Okay.” Bo Yiyan lightly fluttered her thick eyelashes, and the gentle smile at the corner of the woman’s mouth was reflected in her brown pupils.

The greenery of the villa in front of them was exceptionally good, with large areas of green plants everywhere. The overall decoration style leaned towards Greek Mediterranean.

Inside the villa, the soft furnishings were mainly blue and white, with pure colors and smooth, natural lines. The colors of the curtains and furniture were bright and saturated, interpreting a natural and romantic tone, giving a feeling of complete ease and tranquility.

The villa was very large, excluding the rooftop observatory, and was divided into three floors in total.

The layout of the first floor was divided into four kitchens and four halls, with the Chinese and Western kitchens and the dessert-making kitchen separated. Additionally, there was a separate kitchen dedicated to dishwashing.

The entire villa had eight rooms, and each room was equipped with its own separate bathroom.

Ye Manqing now lived permanently in C City and rarely returned to Beijing, only staying for a short period during the New Year. On weekdays, several part-time cleaners would regularly come to clean, and three gardeners would take turns coming to the villa to maintain the flowers, trim the greenery, and care for the lawn, etc.

After getting out of the car, Ye Manqing led Bo Yiyan to walk on the soft lawn, thinking of letting Bo Yiyan familiarize herself with the villa environment first, as this would also be her home in the future.

At the same time, Qingqing led the bodyguards to the living room on the first floor of the villa.

The bodyguards carried the two people’s luggage. Under the assistant’s direction, the bodyguards carried the suitcases up to the second floor and placed them in the walk-in closet next to the master bedroom.

The bodyguards left, but Qingqing had to stay because her job was not yet finished: organizing Teacher Ye’s luggage. She had to take all the clothes out of the suitcase, iron them, and then hang them in the closet one by one.

Early this morning, Shu Jing had already gotten up and personally went to the supermarket to select all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish and shrimp, purchasing a full cart of ingredients.

Shu Jing hadn’t cooked in a long time; she only cooked herself when her daughter came home. This was because her daughter’s palate had been spoiled by her and wouldn’t eat anything that wasn’t to her liking.

Thinking that her daughter was bringing her future daughter-in-law back with her this time, out of courtesy and to show welcome and respect, Shu Jing naturally asked her daughter what the young girl liked to eat and if she had any dietary restrictions.

Over the phone, her daughter’s reply was a bit surprising to Shu Jing.

“I’m not quite sure, let me ask.”

After hanging up the phone, after quite a while, her daughter finally sent a WeChat message.

My Precious Daughter: [Xiao Bai doesn’t have any dietary restrictions except that she doesn’t eat cilantro, and she prefers light flavors.]

According to the information provided by her daughter, for dinner, in addition to preparing a few of her signature Beijing dishes, Shu Jing also planned to try making two dishes with yuxiang (fish-fragrant) and sweet and sour flavors.

In the spacious and bright kitchen, Shu Jing personally took the helm, with the nanny assisting on the side. The dinner took several hours to prepare, totaling eight dishes and one soup, plus dessert.

As the last dish was brought to the table, footsteps came from the direction of the living room. Immediately after, the driver Uncle Zhang’s voice rang out.

“Madam, the Miss and they are back!”

Hearing this, Shu Jing first removed the apron from her waist, then adjusted the qipao she was wearing, and only then did she elegantly walk out of the dining room.

Shu Jing had always thought her daughter was the most beautiful female celebrity in mainland entertainment, and that was indeed the case. Her high standards naturally had their backing, so her daughter never dated, and as a mother, Shu Jing had always let her be and never interfered.

Shu Jing sometimes wondered what kind of astonishingly beautiful appearance would be worthy of her own daughter.

At this moment, Shu Jing finally had the answer; she found the answer in this young girl.

The young girl was dressed simply, tall and slender, with very fair skin. The girl wore no jewelry whatsoever, only a pair of small gold bead earrings. Her makeup was very light, almost bare-faced.

The carefree breath of youth rushed at her, and her eyes looked much calmer than those of her peers.

“Mom, we’re back.” Ye Manqing stopped and greeted her mother, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Just as Ye Manqing was about to introduce Bo Yiyan to her mother, her mother unexpectedly spoke first, taking the initiative.

“You must be Xiao Bai?” Shu Jing walked forward a few steps, took Bo Yiyan’s hands, and held them lightly.

“Hello, Auntie, my name is Bo Yiyan.” Bo Yiyan was a bit restrained.

“Calling me ‘Auntie’ now is fine, but when you and Qingqing get your marriage license, you’ll have to change it to ‘Mom’.” Shu Jing smiled kindly, and the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes showed with the smile.

Shu Jing’s bone structure was excellent. Even though she was over fifty, her skin was still firm, and besides the two crow’s feet that appeared when she smiled, there were almost no signs of age on her face.

Indeed, time is always kind to beautiful women.

“…” Bo Yiyan looked stunned for a moment, her face flushed by Ye’s mother’s words.

Bo Yiyan hadn’t expected the mother and daughter’s personalities to be so completely different, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
