Chapter 428
Yun Chen and Rebecca Perry, seeing the flurry of compliments in the chat group about Ye Xingguang’s rise to favour, both chose to silently exit the WeChat group, each feeling disheartened, one perhaps more so than the other.
Yun Chen felt disheartened because he realized the girl who once belonged to him was now someone he couldn’t hope to attain, whereas Rebecca Perry’s gloom lay in the fact that she felt like a joke in the eyes of her classmates.
However, Ye Xingguang is the sister of the new President. Regardless of how disheartened she feels, she could only look up to Ye Xingguang from now on and dare not offend her. She suddenly felt like resigning and leaving KOCO TV. She didn’t want to have to ingratiate herself with Ye Xingguang whenever they met at the station.
Ye Xingguang didn’t care about the inner turmoil of Yun Chen and Rebecca Perry at the moment. She sents messages on WeChat simply for her own enjoyment.
After being showered with compliments by her classmates for a while, she exited the group chat. Her gaze landed on the nickname “Big Cancer”. She suddenly felt like changing the nickname for a certain someone.
After some contemplation, she thought she would pick a refined nickname. In the end, she chose: “Big Cancer Who Eats Fish Without Removing The Bones”.noveldrama
Grinning uncontrollably, she nearly laughed herself to death. Yet, she thought it was apt. That certain someone who ate fish was so ruthless that she still trembled at the thought and felt incapable of holding back!
At the dinner table, Song Chuanqi and Bai Lanwu were talking to her, but Ye Xingguang was too preoccupied with nicknaming to pay attention.
It was only when Song Chuanqi rapped on the table that Ye Xingguang lifted her head, puzzled, “Uh, dad, what were you saying?”
Song Chuanqi didn’t say anything and suddenly felt a sense of loss – as if the cabbages he had been growing had been stolen right from under him. Truly, a father-in-law and a son-in-law were natural enemies.
Bai Lanwu replied with a smile, “Your father was just saying that we’ve been residing in the imperial capital for a week now, yet your in-laws haven’t come to visit. Even though we aren’t exactly sticklers for etiquettes, you and Ye have been officially matched. How is the wedding being planned?”
Originally, the couple wanted to further observe Ye Junqing. However, given that Ye Junqing turned out to be their daughter’s savior, there was no need for further scrutiny. What was there not to trust about a young man willing to risk his life to save their daughter?
Moreover, their prospective son-in-law chosen jail over marrying someone else. Even though part of the reason was to build momentum for his brother, Chuanqi and Lanwu didn’t buy that there wasn’t a part of him doing it for their daughter.
Being fully convinced of their would-be son-in-law, it was now time for both families to discuss their children’s marriage.
They happened to be in the imperial capital now. Time waits for no one could be arranged forthwith.
“Huh? Dad, mom, it’s not that my in-laws don’t want to visit you. When I went to pick them up from the airport, they mentioned wanting to visit you at the hospital but I tactfully declined. I thought we could arrange a meeting once you’re better.”
Song Chuanqi took a big spoon full of porridge and said, “Dad’s in good enough health now. You and young master Ye should seize the opportunity while your mother and I are in the imperial capital to set the wedding date.”
Bai Lanwu added, “What do you mean, in due course? You’ve been living at their house for two months. Although you are officially engaged, an engagement isn’t a marriage. What’s going on? If you don’t want to get married, we can first arrange an official engagement ceremony and the wedding can be prepared later.”
Ye Xingguang pursed her lips. It’s not as though she said she didn’t want to…
Getting a little shy discussing her own marriage, Ye Xingguang said, “Should I send him a message about it on WeChat?”
