Gu Liye glanced at her, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. “Junior sister, you’re famous!”

Lu Yang regained her composure.

“Your photos with Jiang Yanzhou have been exposed.”

Lu Yang took out her phone and opened the article, and indeed, the top search results were about her and Jiang Yanzhou.

The photos were taken on the day of the first snowfall when he kissed her in the car. Due to the angle and the darkness, the man’s face couldn’t be fully seen. The person who leaked the news wrote:

“Lu Mingyu’s sister and a mysterious man engage in intimate behavior inside the car, suspected of a passionate kiss. Their relationship has been exposed!”

They seemed unable to mention the name Lu Yang, but the netizens who hadn’t completely forgotten about Lu Mingyu’s sister knew who she was.

Scrolling down, some netizens provided evidence, stating that the car belonged to Jiang Yanzhou.

“Junior sister, don’t worry. Most people are sending their blessings.” Gu Liye reassured her. “Many people are looking forward to attending your wedding.”

Lu Yang furrowed her brow as she looked at her phone, and Jiang Yanzhou’s call came through.

“Are you busy?” His usual greeting carried an inexplicable tenderness that easily calmed one’s heart.

“What did you have for lunch?” Jiang Yanzhou asked, without any intention of mentioning the hot search.

“I had the cafeteria’s dishes: Soy sauce duck, sweet and sour eggs, and greens.” “I was busy this morning and didn’t have lunch with you.”

Jiang Yanzhou, dressed in a crisp black suit, sat in a chair. The distinct line of his chin was clear and smooth, and as he spoke, his hands with well-defined knuckles tapped on the armrest, his tone carrying a smile. “How about having dinner with your boyfriend tonight?”

“Okay.”

Gu Liye showed Lu Yang the webpage, silently saying: It’s gone!

The topic disappeared, and the continuous discussions ceased.

“When a hot search trend arises, it generates a high level of activity, but it gradually declines over time instead of abruptly disappearing. Junior sister, are you sure Jiang Yanzhou is just an actor?”

After two seconds of silence, Lu Yang asked, “Senior brother, are you only a doctor? Are you sure you’re not a gossip magazine reporter?”

Gu Liye was rendered speechless.

He looked at her innocent expression and pretended to be serious. “Junior sister, don’t blame me for not warning you. The thoughtfulness of mature men is a kind of poison.”

“If senior brother describes himself like this, have you prepared an antidote for sister-in-law?”

Once again, Gu Liye was rendered speechless.

The easygoing aura emitted by Lu Yang almost made him forget that she was both poison and medicine. She could use poison to counter poison and also neutralize toxins. From either perspective, he didn’t need to worry.

Moreover, he hadn’t even properly handled his own affairs, so he didn’t have the energy to share her concerns and dispel her doubts.

Gu Liye’s eyes flickered, and he leaned forward slightly, showing a thirst for knowledge. “Junior sister, if your parents don’t agree to your relationship, how do you plan to convince them?”

“There are two possibilities for my parents not accepting Jiang Yanzhou. One is that his character is questionable, and the other is that he lacks a sense of responsibility and treats me poorly,” Lu Yang said. “Both of these possibilities do not exist.”

“I have good character and a sense of responsibility, whether it’s towards my wife or anyone else. Why won’t her parents accept me?”

“You didn’t get their consent and took their precious daughter to register for marriage. How can they judge your character as good?” Lu Yang retorted.

Gu Liye was at a loss for words.

After all, that was the truth, and he couldn’t argue against it.

The trending search trend lasted only a few minutes but left a lasting impact on people’s minds.

When Zhao Yanshu learned about the news, he widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yanzhou, wanting to ask him what was going on. However, he found the atmosphere around him to be extremely heavy, with a chilling aura emanating from his brows. His appearance, still filled with anger, was oppressive.

Zhao Yanshu’s words got stuck in her throat, and she swallowed them back.

“How did it go?” Jiang Ruzi called to inquire about the situation.

“Their conversation didn’t go well,” Zhao Yanshu stammered. “I want to wait for his anger to subside before finding out what happened. After a fight with Jiang Xi, no one dares to approach him.”

Jiang Ruzi said, “Lu Yang and his trending search have appeared. Just go in and tell him about this matter; he won’t be angry.”

“Really?” Zhao Yanshu was skeptical. A tiger in a fit of rage is not the same as its usual demeanor.

“It’s true.”

Zhao Yanshu took a few deep breaths and went in, following Jiang Ruzi’s instructions. Sure enough, Jiang Yanzhou’s anger had significantly diminished.

After dealing with the trending search issue, Zhao Yanshu stood nearby, looking at the man whose mood had greatly improved. With trepidation and hope, she asked, “Mr. Jiang, did you come back to Yonkers this time to persuade him to return?”

“Then… what’s the reason?”

In another corner of the world, Lu Mingyu, who was in seclusion training, was lying down exhausted. Chen Su hurriedly approached and woke him up without any explanation.

Lu Mingyu was awakened, his anger still burning. He glanced angrily at the person who woke him up and laid back down.

Chen Su threw an iPad at him, his words filled with excitement and interruption. ‘You… you have to take a look!”

“What am I supposed to look at?” He didn’t want to look.

“The trending search is gone, but there are still comments under your Twitter account. Just take a look, and you’ll understand.”

Lu Mingyu, with vacant eyes, casually glanced at the screen. There were numerous netizens mentioning him in the comments on Twitter.

“@Lu Mingyu, come back quickly. Your best friend has become your brother-in-law!”

“One day apart feels like three autumns, several days apart and the best friend becomes a brother-in-law. How amazing! How amazing!@Lu Mingyu.”

“@Lu Mingyu, your sister has been taken away. Why haven’t you, as her brother, returned? Are you still digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest?!”

“What best friend becoming a brother-in-law?” Lu Mingyu was completely baffled and couldn’t grasp the meaning. “These netizens have too much free time. We don’t need to pay attention to them.”

At a loss for words, Chen Su swallowed hard and tried to explain slowly. “Best friend refers to your friend, Jiang Yanzhou.”

Lu Mingyu suddenly realized, “So it’s Jiang Yanzhou.”

Chen Su had to make it even clearer. “Best friend becoming a brother-in-law means that Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Yang are together!”

“Oh, I see.”

Silence filled the air for a few seconds.

Lu Mingyu sat up in shock in a daze.. “What?!”
