"What?" Yuan Meng was completely stunned.
So all this time, this was the only thing he managed to say?
What on earth was this!
"Let me put it another way. Between Wang Yiyang and me, who do you like more?"
Yuan Meng rolled her eyes in disbelief and twitched the corner of her mouth.
Could it be that Ling Qianchen had really been possessed? Otherwise, how could he say such brainless things?
Her silence was expected, yet it still tightened his heart.
Why didn't she answer? Did it mean that she already had a choice in her heart, and he just wasn't that choice?
Thinking of this possibility, Ling Qianchen's tone grew even more tense. "Mengmeng, is this question that hard to answer?"
Yuan Meng simply rolled her eyes again.
It wasn't that it was hard to answer. She just didn't want to answer at all!
Despite her inner complaints, afraid of being pestered by him, she finally just said indifferently, "I don't like either of you."
Ling Qianchen's hand on his knee clenched tightly into a fist.
He knew it.
He had never been her choice, not from the very beginning!
As her inner suspicions grew stronger, Yuan Meng had to think about the worst-case scenario.
Suppose he really had discovered her identity. Then this sudden change would make sense.
So...
"Ling Qianchen, why did you suddenly change your attitude towards me? And why did you come all the way to this variety show? Don't tell me you only realized your regret after losing me."
Hearing this, Ling Qianchen's eyes darkened.
If it had been before, he would have constantly reminded himself not to be too radical for fear of scaring her.
After all, her deliberate concealment of her identity was probably just a small revenge for the grievances she had suffered in the Ling family before.
However, ever since he realized that there were always men around her, his rationality had long since flown out the window.
He couldn't hold back any longer. Otherwise, he would never have the slightest chance!
Thinking of this, he simply stepped on the brake.
Caught off guard, Yuan Meng was startled. When she came to her senses, she was looking into Ling Qianchen's dark and deep eyes.
"You?"
"Mengmeng... Oh no, I should call you Ai Yue."
As his voice fell, the man saw the sudden change in the woman's face and felt even more depressed.
"Although I don't know why you pretended your identity to approach me, nor why you proposed divorce after being married to me for a year... But I've always known that you, Ai Yue, are the obsession and pursuit that I, Ling Qianchen, will never let go of in my life. So, you'd better be prepared."
Be prepared to be entangled with me for the rest of your life and never be able to break free!
Yuan Meng couldn't listen to the rest of his words.
It was impossible not to be shocked. After all, she thought her acting skills were perfect. Even if he was sensitive, he shouldn't have noticed so quickly!
So, where did something go wrong?
Seeing her in a daze and unable to say a word, Ling Qianchen felt both heartache and tenderness.
She was really overly cute.
After confessing directly, Ling Qianchen wasn't afraid that she would escape. After all, in the days to come, his eyes would follow her every move.
In this life, whether it was Yuan Meng or Ai Yue, she was doomed not to escape his grasp!
It was a long time after she got home that Yuan Meng finally came to her senses. At the same time, she realized one thing.
She might have been betrayed!
Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Meng angrily took out her phone and found the phone number she hadn't contacted for a while.
Chai Yanyu had just stepped through the threshold when he was startled by the phone ringing.
This ringtone... Could it be what he thought it was?
Since he betrayed Yuan Meng, his conscience had never been at ease. This call might be to question him...
For a moment, Chai Yanyu hesitated.
Should he answer it or not?
Even if he decided not to answer, Yuan Meng wouldn't give up just because he didn't pick up. So after calling several times in a row, a cautious and flattering voice finally came from the other end of the phone.
"Hi, Mengmeng."
"Chai Yanyu, do you want to confess on your own, or shall we meet and talk?"
As her voice fell, the sound of her fists clenching clearly reached the other end of the phone and into Chai Yanyu's ears.
Knowing he couldn't escape, Chai Yanyu finally told the truth.
It wasn't that he was a coward. He just knew when to yield!
"When?" Yuan Meng frowned.
"Cousin found out during the hacker competition..."
Chai Yanyu was very sensible and told everything, both what he should and shouldn't have said.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Meng turned around and found that Ling Qianchen was standing behind her at some point, with a complicated look on his face.
Yuan Meng frowned.
This man was better at acting than she was.
All the repulsion and anger in her eyes were caught by the man. The man felt helpless and reluctant, and finally let out a sigh.
"Mengmeng, we have to sleep in the same room tonight. How about I sleep on the sofa?"
It was true that there were two beds in the room, but if Mengmeng was very resistant to his approach, then he would just endure a little discomfort.
In response, Yuan Meng just said indifferently, "Whatever you want," and then turned around and walked away.
The netizens didn't know what was going on, but they could sense the awkward atmosphere between the two. For a moment, they were all speculating.
【Strange. They were fine when they went out. Why are they arguing now?】
【Shh, don't ask. If you ask, I don't know either!】
【I'm so angry! Can't Mr. Ling just be more obedient? Why does he always make my Mengbao angry?】
【Hurry up and make up. I want to see a sweet romance.】
【+1.】
Despite being angry, Yuan Meng still took his face into consideration and didn't really let him sleep on the sofa.
Of course, it wasn't because she was soft-hearted. She just was afraid of being criticized by Ling Qianchen's fans for bullying him!
After getting the "special pardon", Ling Qianchen's face brightened. He took even better care of Yuan Meng.
Seeing him bustling around again, taking care of every little detail, Yuan Meng felt both soft-hearted and flustered.
This feeling was getting more and more out of control. What should she do?
After saying good night to her, Ling Qianchen carefully said, "Mengmeng, I'm sorry."
Yuan Meng turned her back. Even though she tried to block out his rambling, his words still managed to sneak into her ears from time to time.
He said that he knew he wasn't a qualified husband during that marriage because he had a spiritual affair.
He said that although he knew that Ai Yue and Yuan Meng were the same person, he still felt deeply sorry. So he would spend the rest of his life taking good care of her and making up for her until she forgave him.
He also said that he swore this wasn't to force her to forgive him quickly, but his sincere words.
After saying everything he wanted to say and still not getting a positive response, it was impossible not to feel disappointed. But—
It didn't matter. They still had a lifetime to resolve these troubles!
In the following days, in order to create some excitement, the program crew occasionally arranged some small games to increase the intimacy between Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng had already seen through this but didn't bother to expose it. So during the games, she deliberately caused some trouble from time to time.
However, in the eyes of Ling Qianchen, the director, and the netizens, these little troubles were transformed into sweetness. Especially the CP fans, they were cheering loudly and even threatened to move the Civil Affairs Bureau here and let them get married on the spot.
Oh, it should be remarried.
After all the fuss, he could always tolerate her willfulness and occasional small temper. She finally gave up.
Forget it. The program was almost over. It was better not to cause any more trouble.
"You, behave yourself."
This was the first time she had spoken to him in the past few days.
Since the opportunity was rare, Ling Qianchen naturally took the chance to pour out his heart.
On the last episode of the program, everyone was sitting around.
Wang Yiyang had been deliberately avoided by Yuan Meng for several days. Today, he finally found a chance to sit next to her. He was extremely excited.
Ling Qianchen was held up by something and arrived one or two minutes late.
When he noticed Wang Yiyang sitting next to Yuan Meng, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Some people really just wouldn't give up!
