Changqing felt desolate upon hearing that. “I think if Chuyi were to encounter such a situation, no matter how busy you were, you would also stop by and take care of him.”

Rong Chang smiled as she picked up a xiaolongbao and put it on her plate, saying, “After I regained consciousness, Chuyi didn’t utter a word of concern and was mostly indifferent, but he clearly remembered the doctor’s instructions, the things I should and shouldn’t eat, how long I should stay under the sun and what time I should sleep. He’s a person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside and he’s also very responsible. Changqing, since you’re already married, I hope you will reconsider it. After all, it was fated to be able to go to the Civil Administration Bureau together. I know why you want to get a divorce. I apologize for Chulang. It’s perhaps because of my failure as a mother that he’s becoming more and more like his father; he didn’t have a mother to guide him.”

Changqing pressed her lips together silently. Song Chulang was more perverse than Song Huaisheng.

“Chuyi should’ve talked to you about this: I’m willing to give you my 10% share as a wedding gift,” Rong Chang said. “When I found out Song Huaisheng had a woman on the outside, I was very jealous and angry. When I got the divorce, I thought I should do whatever I could to make life difficult for him. I thought I would just file for divorce and bring it up in court. Song Huaisheng was left with no choice, so he gave me 10% of the shares. My 10% of the shares is very important to the Song family. If you have that, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to you again.”

Changqing didn’t expect Rong Chang to tell her that as well. She shook her head nervously. “Auntie, the problem between us isn’t all this. You don’t have to give me your shares.”

“I assumed it was more than just that.”

The waitress brought a set of English breakfast and a plate of wonton over. Rong Chang picked up her fork and knife and said, “I was only saying this to dispel a part of your worries that came from Chulang. Now, you two only need to think about where else you have problems and resolve them properly. I intend to go to your house to apologize to your father on this trip back to Northern City.”

Changqing was stunned and said quickly, “Auntie, there’s no need. This had nothing to do with you.”

“I didn’t educate my son well enough, so of course I was responsible. At the same time, I hope you and your family can understand that I’m very supportive of you two being together. This has nothing to do with the two families’ backgrounds,” Rong Chang said solemnly. “It’s only because Chuyi likes you. As for Yunyang… you probably know about her, right?”

Changqing hesitated for a while and nodded. “Auntie also knew that the two of them dated?”

Rong Chang nodded. “I knew but I didn’t care. I can’t control who my children want to date but Chuyi indeed wasn’t as happy when he was with Yunyang compared to when he’s with you. Perhaps he was under too much stress. Come, let’s eat.”

Subsequently, their breakfast was almost entirely served.

When they were almost done with breakfast, Changqing saw Song Chuyi walking over from the entrance of the restaurant. Under the bright lights, he was wearing a pair of navy blue pants and a grey double-breasted suit with one hand in his pocket. A pastel yellow handkerchief sat in the pocket of the suit, making him look elegant and low-profile.

Also his pair of ridiculously long legs…

The moment he walked into the restaurant, he attracted gazes from all the female service staff.

Changqing even heard the service staff at the side murmuring softly, “Which celebrity is this? Why doesn’t he look familiar?”

“I doubt he’s a celebrity.”

“He looks charismatic.”

Changqing suddenly felt a little proud, but very quickly, she suppressed that feeling and pretended to have not seen anything. She lowered her head and finished her last wonton.

“How’s breakfast going?” Song Chuyi had already arrived at their table. He beckoned a service staff over and pulled out his wallet to pay the bill.

Changqing lifted her head and saw that her picture was still in his wallet.

She felt a little sweetness in her heart. To think he had always carried it with him.

But would Rong Chang see it?

She glanced at Rong Chang. Luckily, the wallet was facing her, so Rong Chang shouldn’t have seen it. Otherwise, how embarrassing would that be?

“Carry on with your own business. I’m going out to meet an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time,” Rong Chang said with a smile as she stood up.

Song Chuyi said lightly, “Must be work-related again.”

Rong Chang explained awkwardly, “She’s just a friend; we used to work together in Europe in the past. She came back here to work after that. We’re just going to talk about work over a couple of cups of coffee.”

Only then did Song Chuyi retract his lukewarm gaze and remain silent.

Upon seeing that, Changqing suddenly sympathized with Rong Chang. In front of her son, her status was simply about the same as hers.

The moment Rong Chang left, Changqing stood up to leave. “I’m going back to my room to rest.”

“You’re still sleeping?” Song Chuyi strode out and followed her.

“Don’t stick so close to me.” Changqing pushed him aside and said hatefully, “In case anyone misunderstands and thinks there’s anything between us.”

“Isn’t that the case?” Song Chuyi raised his brows.

“Anyway, I don’t want anyone to know I have a husband.” Changqing snorted.

Song Chuyi paused in his steps. After a while, he followed her again and said, “It’s too late.”

“What’s late?” Changqing felt a bad premonition surging from within.

Song Chuyi curled his lips slightly. “My mom said she’s your mother-in-law in front of so many people at the event yesterday. Do you think with so many people present, no one would spread the news?”

Changqing was in a daze. She stared wide-eyed and stuttered, “But… but with your Mom’s status, it should only be circulated within the industry; I doubt anyone told the press.”

Song Chuyi tilted his head and thought. After that, he touched her hair. “Although I don’t understand your industry, many pieces of news seem to be exposed by the people within the industry.”

Changqing stared at him with her mouth hanging open and she walked back into her room at a quicker pace when she returned to her senses.

When she was in the elevator, she actually ran into Zhang Zixin and her assistant. Zhang Zixin didn’t seem to have slept well last night. Even with makeup on, she looked very haggard. She glared at Changqing with a pair of eyes filled with repressed hatred.

Changqing turned her face away and ignored her.

If this was in the past, she would’ve still greeted Zhang Zixin. After yesterday, there was no need.

Song Chuyi didn’t detect this conflict between the two women, only closing the door and standing beside Changqing.

Zhang Zixin saw that and couldn’t help but scoff, “Teacher Rong is your mother-in-law. Who’s this person you’ve seduced today? How impressive.”

Changqing glared and before she even opened her mouth, Song Chuyi said indifferently, “I’m her husband. Is there a problem if she seduced me?”

Zhang Zixin’s palm-sized face froze.

Her assistant quickly tugged her arm anxiously. Isn’t her EQ very high usually? Why did it drop so low now that she ran into Yan Changqing?

Changqing found it satisfying. Today, with Song Chuyi by her side, she wasn’t afraid at all. “Sister Zixin, I really don’t know how I’ve offended you. Truth be told, I admired you quite a lot in the past, but now…”

She scoffed and at that moment, the elevator happened to reach their floor. She couldn’t be bothered to go on and left.

Zhang Zixin trembled with anger and was prepared to chase her when her assistant pulled her back.

Zhang Zixin had nowhere to vent her anger, so she gave her assistant a tight slap.

Changqing heard the sound of the slap behind her and turned around in time to see the elevator door closing.

There was no need to think—Zhang Zixin must’ve hit her assistant.

She recalled the first time she saw Zhang Zixin and how agitated, excited and happy she felt. Besides, Yan Changxin was even Zhang Zixin’s top fan.

However, she didn’t think that Zhang Zixin, who looked so glamorous and beautiful on the outside, would actually have such a vile temper.

“So she’s Zhang Zixin.” Song Chuyi nodded thoughtfully. “She was the one who bullied you yesterday?”

“You don’t even know Zhang Zixin?” Changqing was speechless.

“Why would I know her?” Song Chuyi said lightly. “Among all the female celebrities, I only know Ruan Yang, Jiang Duoyao and Guan Ying. For male celebrities, I only know Zuo Qian.”

Changqing sighed. That was to be expected.

Song Chuyi stroked his exquisite chin. “It’s not easy for Zuo Qian to find a girlfriend like that.”

Changqing nodded in agreement. She could suddenly understand why Zuo Qian hadn’t been very happy ever since he started going out with Zhang Zixin. Zhang Zixin had such a terrible temper and one could easily imagine how mild-tempered Teacher Zuo must be when dealing with her privately. It must be love. Only love could endure it all.

The two walked to her room door unknowingly. Changqing pulled out her room card and her little face regained its indifference. “Alright, I have to go back to my room. You can leave.”

Song Chuyi lowered his head, not moving as he watched her quietly with his dark eyes. “I’ll go in and sit for a while.”

“No.” Changqing turned her face away.

“I’m not even going to do anything to you.” Song Chuyi’s eyes glimmered with an apparent smile.

Changqing’s face heated up awkwardly. She pulled a straight face and said, “I’m not afraid of that; I just don’t want to see you.”

After saying that, she even snorted loudly. She opened the room door and after going in, she closed it quickly as though she was afraid he would suddenly sneak in.

Song Chuyi found it funny. He turned to leave.

Changqing watched him leaving through the peephole and was a little disappointed. Song Chuchu dressed in a suit looked so elegant. How could he be so elegant?

She climbed into bed and quickly looked for news about last night’s red carpet event on her phone.

However, never would she have thought that the headlines would actually be that during last night’s dinner, a seasoned actress and a third rate celebrity with a strong background pushed a female host onto the ground in front of everyone and made her look pathetic, even dirtying her dress. Luckily, a kind-hearted person helped this female host out.

After news of the incident was exposed, there were reporters who quickly analyzed last night’s situation and guessed that there was a 99% chance that the female host was herself.

The reason was very simple. She walked in wearing a black dress and when she came out, she was wearing a light green gown.

As for the other two involved, there were reporters guessing that they were Zhang Zixin and Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu had always had beef with Changqing and had a strong background. Everyone knew that.

As for the seasoned actress, the reporters heard from the staff at Northern City Broadcasting station that Zhang Zixin had made things difficult for Changqing several times when they were recording a program once. It was said she was jealous that Changqing and Zuo Qian were hosting the show together.
