"Hot search?"
Meng Jingwei never expected that despite their low-key demeanor, her marriage with Qing Muye had still made the news headlines.
*Buzz buzz buzz.*
Suddenly, another call popped up on her phone screen while she was on the line.
The caller ID clearly displayed: Chu Xue.
Meng Jingwei's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but swallow. "Um... I... I'm busy, I have something to do, I'll call you back later."
She hung up Lin Meng's call and answered Chu Xue, the little ancestor's call.
Indeed, whatever she feared had come to pass.
She had seen Chu Xue's feelings for Qing Muye very clearly back then, and she had always been afraid of Chu Xue finding out about her relationship with Qing Muye.
Yet, the marriage certificate in her hand had barely warmed up before Chu Xue already knew about it.
"Hehehe, Chu Xue, what a surprise you have time to call me this..."
"Meng Jingwei, you got your marriage certificate with Qing Muye?!"
Meng Jingwei gave a fawning smile, but before she could finish speaking, Chu Xue's roar erupted from the other end of the line.
The voice was sharp and piercing, indicating how furious the person on the other end was.
Leaning against the headboard, Meng Jingwei glared fiercely at Qing Muye, as if saying: It's all your fault!
The man smirked and shrugged.
She rolled her eyes and said meekly, "This, this, this is a misunderstanding. Chu Xue, listen to me..."
Listen?
Listen to what?
Meng Jingwei herself didn't know what to say.
She hesitated and fell silent.
"Okay. I'll give you time, you can take your time explaining. If not, I'll come find you, and you can tell me face-to-face."
Chu Xue suppressed the anger in her heart, waiting for Meng Jingwei to give a reasonable explanation.
"I..."
She raised her hand and patted her forehead, racking her brain for how to explain to Chu Xue.
Just then, her phone was snatched away.
Qing Muye, who had walked over, held the phone and turned on the speaker. "I asked Ah Wei to do this. I'm sorry for deceiving you."
Unprecedentedly, Qing Muye actually apologized to someone other than Meng Jingwei.
Although it was out of his protection for Meng Jingwei, it still made people widen their eyes in disbelief.
Chu Xue on the other end of the line was stunned for a long time. She moved the phone from her ear, looked at the phone number, confirmed it was Meng Jingwei's number, and then recalled the voice from just now, "Qing Muye?"
Was it really Qing Muye?
The aloof man was actually apologizing to her?
"For various reasons before, I asked Ah Wei to keep our relationship a secret from the public. If I have caused you any harm, I apologize and am willing to bear all consequences."
With such domineering protection, Meng Jingwei instantly felt that Qing Muye's presence was like two meters eighty!
He looked so handsome.
Chu Xue: "Qing Muye, you... you guys... you two are simply going too far! Beep beep beep..."
After speaking, she directly hung up the phone.
Qing Muye handed the phone back to Meng Jingwei. "With me here, don't worry too much."
"It's easy to say when you're not the one being scolded!"
Meng Jingwei was fuming. "See, Chu Xue must be furious. When she comes with her forty-meter long sword, I'll definitely push you in front of me to block the blow."
"She wouldn't dare!"
"What if she really dares to come?"
"If she really dares to come, I will naturally bear everything for you."
Qing Muye held his head high and spoke with conviction.
Seeing this, Meng Jingwei was amused to the point of annoyance. "Oh, you're making me so annoyed, I don't even know how to face Chu Xue, let alone Shu Yao. Although Shu Yao has gone to Country C, if she sees Weibo, she'll definitely go ballistic."
Shu Yao had returned to Country C, but as long as her phone had a signal, she would definitely know about her and Qing Muye.
Meng Jingwei couldn't imagine how angry she would be.
