Zhuo Nian and Chong Yan did not respond to the matter for the time being, not because they were low-key, but because Chong Yan's maternal grandmother had passed away.
The old lady had been bedridden since the previous winter and did not recover after the Lunar New Year. She was recuperated and barely made it through the first lunar month, but her health worsened, and she had to be sent to the hospital.
Zhuo Nian helped arrange the best hospital, the best ward, and the best medicine, which only managed to keep the old lady alive for another half a month. She held on until the two of them visited her, and passed away the next day.
They were in no mood to respond to anything that happened during her funeral.
However, Chong Yan had previously said that he would go public after winning an award. "Ancient Records of Strange Events" was a TV series, and he had not won the award he had imagined. The award that the organizers had made an exception for was still an award, so Qiao Yiyi, after seeking Zhou Lu's opinion, released the Weibo post from over a year ago.
The company also seemed to have just realized it, showcasing various pictures and releasing a video that was over an hour long. Su Dan Fiction Network
It turned out to be their wedding, held in "Heavenly Palace."
At that time, to build a filming set for "Ancient Records of Strange Events," they had prepared for several months in a beautiful and scenic location, using various high-tech props to decorate the entire set to resemble the real Heavenly Palace, making it incredibly beautiful and immersing people in a fairyland.
Coincidentally, they were filming a scene with the two of them, so they decided to hold their wedding there. There was no better time than the present. In just a few days, they prepared everything, gathered their friends and family, and held this grand wedding.
The couple wore painstakingly crafted replica ancient wedding attire and held a mysterious and ancient wedding ceremony. This part was not in the TV series. Many people treated it as a sequel. They thought the ending of the TV series was already perfect until they saw this video.
The wedding video, lasting over an hour, caused the two of them to become popular again for a while.
Chong Yan's self-righteous fan girls, after suffering a series of setbacks in just a few days, were thoroughly defeated and did not dare to show their faces again.
Zhuo Nian already had a large fan base. Coupled with the sudden revelation of her identity as a major shareholder, she became even more captivating to countless people. A large number of young girls were clamoring below, asking for her to take them under her wing, a much larger phenomenon than Chong Yan's fan girls.
After a series of farces, outsiders gossiped, and insiders watched the show, all waiting for the two involved parties to speak. Unexpectedly, after more than half a month, there was still no response from them.
It was only after this matter completely concluded and Chong Yan's grandmother's funeral was truly over that they returned. They came back after the seventh day of her passing, having waited at the Liang family's residence.
By this time, everything had passed, and everyone was immersed in the joy of shipping the couple and watching the TV series again.
Due to his grandmother's passing, Chong Yan was in a bad mood for a long time. Zhuo Nian, having achieved her main goal, did not let him take on any more acting jobs. Instead, she planned a trip.
When they got married, "Ancient Records of Strange Events" was airing. Both the lead actors and the boss were incredibly busy.
Let alone a honeymoon, they barely had any time together.
Now was the perfect time to make up for it.
After a few months of traveling, before they could resume work, they received wedding invitations from Qin Yue Rong and Zhong Pei Han.
The love-hate relationship between these two had dragged on for two to three years and had gone through much drama. For example, Qin Chu Ming returned wanting to steal Zhong Pei Han away. Zhong Pei Han was hurt several times, fell into depression for a while, and Qin Yue Rong, after losing her, slowly learned to cherish her and finally won her back.
Regardless of the process, they had now reached a happy conclusion.
Qin Yue Rong was not invited to their wedding initially, but he showed up uninvited and brought Zhong Pei Han with him. Now, it was their turn, and it would be too disrespectful if they didn't go.
Zhuo Nian didn't care about others' reputation, but Chong Yan was very grateful to Qin Yue Rong, so he decided to go.
As it turned out, inviting them was a very wise decision. Halfway through the wedding, Qin Chu Ming appeared from somewhere and opened fire at Qin Yue Rong.
Chong Yan grabbed the knives and forks from the table and threw them. In front of everyone, the forks, like arrows leaving their bows, not only shot down the bullets but also pierced through Qin Chu Ming's gun-holding hand. Qin Chu Ming cried out in pain, dropped the pistol, and was subdued by the security personnel who rushed over.
The guests were shaken. Qin Yue Rong was probably the calmest. He stepped forward to thank the couple and then had the security guards escort Qin Chu Ming to the police station.
The wedding ceremony had concluded. Guests toasted each other, enjoying food and wine. After toasting at every table, the newlyweds temporarily left.
Zhuo Nian and Chong Yan were drinking by the pond when they heard footsteps and turned around together. They saw the couple, who should have been toasting at the front, approaching them.
"Miss Yao, Mr. Chong, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
There were rumors that Zhong Pei Han was pregnant. Her face was rosy, she looked a bit plumper than before, and her complexion was excellent.
"Thank you, Mr. Chong, just now."
"It was nothing, and Mr. Qin has already thanked me."
Zhong Pei Han chuckled, "Mr. Chong, you're as amusing as ever."
Chong Yan didn't quite understand what she meant.
Qin Yue Rong looked at the two leaning against each other, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Zhuo Nian raised an eyebrow, "He said he wanted to thank you."
Qin Yue Rong smiled, "You're as impolite as ever."
Zhuo Nian did not reply.
"Mr. Chong, could I borrow you for a few minutes?"
Chong Yan blinked, then stood up and followed him away.
Two women were left by the pond.
Zhong Pei Han took a step forward and said to her, "Thank you."
"I didn't do anything."
She then said, "We met because of you." Seeing Zhuo Nian's confused look, she explained, "We met on a variety show. He came to the program to find you. Perhaps seeing how loving you two were, he was stimulated and drank a lot. We met unexpectedly, and that's how everything else happened."
Although the beginning was not pleasant, she did not regret reaching this point.
"That's your fate, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhong Pei Han laughed, "He's right, you're as impolite to others as ever."
Zhuo Nian remained noncommittal.
She disliked interfering in other people's relationships, so ignoring it was the best course of action.
Everyone fears the cold. After a long period of coldness, the heart also grows cold.
The two of them tacitly did not mention the matter again.
On the other side, after listening to Qin Yue Rong, Chong Yan calmly replied, "What you're saying, I actually already knew."
Qin Yue Rong was naturally surprised, "She said you had no memory."
"But I can investigate," he said. "She always wanted to explain what happened back then. She was indifferent to everything, unless it was about us, so I was sure."
While Qin Yue Rong was slightly disappointed, he also felt it was as it should be.
"I don't know what happened back then, but she has always loved you very much. You should believe her."
"Of course," his gaze was firm. "I only believe her."
