Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

In the afternoon of the interview with The Times, Lu Qingye was still busy with work. Assistant Yang first arranged for the interviewer to wait in the reception room.

While preparing tea for the guests, Assistant Yang personally went to Lu Qingye’s office.

“CEO Lu, the reporter from The Times is here.”

Lu Qingye looked down at his watch. The interview was about to begin.

“Yes, let them come over later.’

“Will do.”

After typing the last few words on the keyboard, Lu Qingye turned off the computer. He turned around, picked up the coat that was draped over the back of the chair, and put it on. At the same time, he wrapped the scarf around his neck.

When Assistant Yang saw him wearing his jacket, he felt that it was quite normal. When he saw Lu Qingye suddenly take out a scarf, he was a little surprised.

Where did CEO Lu get this scarf from?

Why hadn’t he seen it before!

The day before the filming of the variety show coincided with the weekly update time of The Times. The news about Lu Qingye on the internet was overwhelming. There were also marketing accounts in the country that specially reported this matter, so the news of Lu Qingye’s interview became a trending topic.

Ever since Meng Chuyuan had Weibo, she had always received notifications on trending topics.

That afternoon, when Meng Chuyuan returned from shopping, she saw the trending topic. She was curious and was willing to click on it because Lu Qingye’s name was on the headline.

As a Chinese, Lu Qingye was a young and powerful businessman. It was indeed rare for him to be interviewed by overseas reporters and be published in The Times.

Meng Chuyuan clicked on a popular Weibo post and glanced at the article of the marketing account editor. It was as if he was trying to use all the good words and sentences he had learned in his life.

However, what surprised Meng Chuyuan the most was not the marketing account’s article, but the photos that had leaked during the interview.

She clicked on one of the photos that had already been loaded. She zoomed in on its details and stopped at the scarf under Lu Qingye!s chin.

Meng Chuyuan could not help but frown. Her eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Why did this scarf look so familiar?

Meng Chuyuan remembered that when she and Mrs. Lu knitted the scarf that day, the blue yarn had just run out, so she used white thread to knit the rest.

Coincidentally, the scarf on Lu Qingye’s neck was exactly the same as the one she had knitted, because one end of the scarf was completely white, while the top was knitted with blue, which was equivalent to the so-called gradient color change.

She gave the scarf to Madam Lu.

It had only been a few days… How did it get to Lu Qingye’s place?

When the netizens saw this interview, they exploded into heated discussions, but their focus was different from Meng Chuyuan’s.

[F*ck!! He’s wearing a ring on his ring finger. He’s actually wearing a ring for an interview! ! ]

[No way, my god? I remember there was a report about him in the country two months ago. At that time, he didn’t have anything on him. How long has it been? Why is he wearing the ring?]

[Could it be that the interviewee requested him to wear it during the interview? Could it be that theyre collaborating with a brand that’s taking advantage of our husband’s free publicity?]

[Comment upstairs, why don’t you watch the interview process before commenting? This brother already said that he has a wife during the interview, yet you still keep calling him your husband. It’s not appropriate, right?]

[l suddenly fell out of love. Why did you show me this?]

Nieng Chuyuan looked at the heartbroken voices of so many netizens and suddenly felt guilty for snatching the outstanding “husband” in their hearts.

At the same time, Lin Youjuan also saw the overseas news report.

Seeing that Lu Qingye had already received the package and used it, she was very satisfied. “You don’t say, it’s quite suitable.”

Lin Youjuan did not feel much about the interview. Over the years, the father and son had been in newspapers of all sizes. They were already used to such interviews.

When she saw Meng Chuyuan in the hall, Lin Youjuan did not hide anything. She generously held her phone out and leaned over. She even specially chose the best angle from the many photos for Meng Chuyuan to see.

“This is Ah Ye’s recent photo. Take a look.” Lin Youjuan thought that she did not look at the posts, and was afraid that Meng Chuyuan would miss it. “l haven’t seen him for more than a month. He has lost weight in the photo.”

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said indifferently, “He has indeed lost weight.”

She had felt it when she made the video call at the company meeting that day.

Before Meng Chuyuan could ask about the scarf, Lin Youjuan took the initiative to mention it. “It’s cold on his side. I sent the scarf you knitted a few days ago. I didn’t expect him to wear it so quickly.”

Nieng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, “I was wondering why it looked so familiar.”

She had given the scarf to Lin Youjuan first. She had no right to interfere with how her mother-in-law dealt with it.

However, it was quite surprising to see Lu Qingye wearing this scarf today. It didn’t feel out of place at all.

When she was knitting the scarf, she didn’t think too much about it and randomly chose two colors that she liked to knit it. She didn’t expect that it would be quite suitable for Lu Qingye.

She was used to seeing Lu Qingye in a suit and leather shoes, so she felt that he was the kind of person who seemed cold and out of reach.

However, in the interview he was wearing a brown windbreaker and a blue and white scarf, which made him look gentler and more approachable.

Lin Youjuan suddenly thought of something and wiped away the smile on her face. She turned serious and asked in confusion, “You two haven’t contacted each other recently?”

She had helped to send the scarf out, and Lu Qingye had already received it. Did they not talk about this in private?

Meng Chuyuan said bluntly, “No.”

They had a private post-marriage agreement to try not to disturb each other, especially when Lu Qingye needed to work.

This agreement was very easy for Meng Chuyuan to uphold. She was very independent and relied on herself for everything. Lu Qingye was busy with work every day. She thought that this man would not waste his time on an idle person like her.

“That’s outrageous.” Lin Youjuan closed the photo on her phone and was about to call Lu Qingye. “I’ll go remind him.”

“…” Meng Chuyuan wanted to stop her, but before she could say anything, the call was already made.

With one hand on her waist, Lin Youjuan walked out of the hall and into the courtyard alone.

Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan shrugged helplessly.

Not long after, Lin Youjuan returned from the call. Her mouth was a little dry, so she picked up a cup and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

Meng Chuyuan sat on the sofa and watched Lin Youjuan drink water. She could not guess what had happened on the phone call.

After Lin Youjuan finished drinking the water, she sat down and turned to look at Meng Chuyuan.

Lu Qingye had been busy for the entire day. Just as he was about to wash up and sleep, he received a call from his mother. She gave him a series of advice, and his sleepiness was swept away.

He sat at the head of the bed and pondered for a while. Then, he looked down at his phone and opened Meng Chuyuan’s WeChat..
