Chapter 311

Right after that report was a report dissecting Yanyue Contents Media that was written by a senior reporter in the industry.

Su Ziyue calmly finished the reports before looking up to see Qin Muchen staring at her solemnly. She couldn't stop herself from laughing at that. "Why so serious?"

"I will handle this." Qin Muchen didn't spare much words as he darkly said that before getting up to clear the dishes on the table.

Su Ziyue proceeded to help him when she saw him do that.

The two of them silently cleared the kitchen. Su Ziyue was about to take her apron off and head out when Qin Muchen blocked her path. He was a fair bit taller than her, so when he stood in front of her, it felt suffocating.

"Aren't you angry?" Qin Muchen asked her.

Su Ziyue broke out into a laugh. "What is there to be angry about? Those news reports are all fake."

Qin Muchen's gaze was locked on her, as though he was trying to see through her. Half a beat later, he asked, "Do you trust me then?"

"Yeah." Su Ziyue nodded.

They didn't leave the house on this day, and they didn't meet anyone else apart from Nan Chuan during his visit.

Su Ziyue immediately got to scrolling through the news when she got up the next day. Just as she expected, an article with the title 'LK Chairman to Hold a Press Conference at Lumiere Jade House Today' was at the top of the news section that morning. Articles and reports about the relationship between the three of them had mushroomed overnight, unsavory and malicious speculations abound.

Somehow, Su Ziyue was unperturbed by this.

Qin Muchen pressed himself closer to her from the back. He turned his head before taking her hand to bring her phone closer to himself. He squinted as he glanced through the news before burying his face into the juncture between Su Ziyue's neck and shoulder. He grumbled, "They can't even get my orders right; they've been too lax with my absence. I clearly said that both I and my wife will be holding this press conference."

His voice had the usual raspiness that came with being recently roused. He sounded unusually lazy like this.

Su Ziyue put down her phone and flicked his head. "Get up. What weird nonsense are you talking about when it's morning?"

"Let's cuddle for a while longer." Qin Muchen simply lay there. After a pause, he said, "What do you mean by 'nonsense'? We'll go together later."

All Su Ziyue could do was go along with him since he wasn't going to move.

"You go. I still have to handle matters over at Yanyue Contents Media."

Even so, Su Ziyue was unable to go against Qin Muchen. In the end, both of them headed to the venue of the press conference.

The hall was already teeming with people by the time they arrived.

The news had been stewing for the past few days, and now that the subjects of those articles had decided to hold a press conference, all the media outlets wanted to be the first one to report the latest developments.

"LK's chairman is here! Su Ziyue too!"

The reporters who first spotted them were already charging their way over.

Qin Muchen led Su Ziyue by his side with an even expression as the bodyguards behind them herded off whatever reporters that were surging toward the pair.

Su Ziyue couldn't help but eye Qin Muchen again. She had no idea how many glances she had sneaked at him already this morning. Qin Muchen was wearing a red top on this day, and since she had chosen to wear a red one-piece dress, they looked like they were wearing matching couple outfits when they walked together.

To the others, this 'obnoxious pair' looked flashy and audacious without a doubt.

Once Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen were seated, Nan Chuan spoke into the microphone. "Everyone, quiet please!"

The entire hall quietened down immediately after Nan Chuan's words made themselves known; perhaps it was because LK Group was a force with massive influence on the business world.

"Thank you for coming to today's press conference. Today, the chairman of LK himself will be explaining about the most recent news about him in detail."

With that, Nan Chuan turned to look at Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen swept his gaze over the crowd with an even expression before taking out a red notebook and positioning it so that everyone could see it. He then turned to look at the confused Su Ziyue and flashed her a smile as he took her hand. Qin Muchen turned to face the crowd and said, "As you can see, Miss Su and I are legally husband and wife. We have been married for nearly three years."

The crowd went into a furor the moment he finished.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't they say that Su Ziyue's the unwanted third party?"

The whispers from below the stage grew louder and louder as time ticked by.

Qin Muchen's expression turned even stormier. Su Ziyue hastily squeezed his hand, afraid that he would become angry.

A gutsy reporter asked, "Since you have been married for nearly three years, why did you suddenly become engaged to the movie star Gu Hanyan then?"

While they were in disbelief at such a revelation, that marriage certificate couldn't possibly be a forgery. They were currently airing the press conference live for all of the nation to watch. Qin Muchen had no reason to lie with his status.

Su Ziyue whipped her head around to look at Qin Muchen. She had nearly forgotten about this.

Qin Muchen's eyes darkened before he began to speak in an unhurried manner. “It is normal that a married couple will have minor arguments and such. Back then, I did something that I shouldn't have, causing my wife to leave me out of distraught. I thought of making her return by becoming engaged to another woman, so I asked my good friend Gu Hanyan to help me with this. I realized later that this wasn't an appropriate arrangement once everything had been set in motion, so I went to seek Gu Hanyan in private and canceled the engagement."

While this story was riddled with holes, no one could refute it.

It was a normal thing for married couples to have disagreements at times.

And everyone knew that Gu Hanyan was good friends with Qin Muchen for many years and had been on television with him before.

Also, that marriage certificate was the genuine article.

Qin Muchen was pleased with the crowd's reaction. He then said again with a most solemn expression, "I would like to apologize to my wife and ask for her forgiveness. I would also like to apologize to my friend Gu Hanyan as well for causing her much unneeded trouble due to my recklessness. Furthermore, I would also like to thank her."

Gu Hanyan had the press conference livestream open on her phone as she sped her way over to Lumiere Jade House. Upon hearing Qin Muchen's words, she became so infuriated that she nearly hurled her phone right there and then.

He wanted to thank her?

Gu Hanyan could of course detect the deeper meaning behind his words.

Qin Muchen wouldn't have chosen to hold this press conference if this news hadn't caused the huge stir that it had. On the contrary, this allowed him to parade Su Ziyue openly before the world. Su Ziyue was now officially the wife of the LK Group's chairman.

How could she possibly swallow her anger?

Hatred oozed out of Gu Hanyan's eyes as she gripped her phone, peeved by this. A moment later, she calmed down and dialed a number that was most certainly not a local one. Once the call went through, she hastily said, "Is Grandpa here? I've an urgent matter I need to speak to him about."

Did they think that she would just surrender like this? No way!

She would not rest!

This matter couldn't possibly end like this!
