She paused for a moment and said, "Mrs. Jiang, you got here very quickly."

"I came over as soon as I received your call."

Jiang Chenyue glanced at the lemon water carefully placed in front of her. Holding it in her hands, she noticed the cup was warm, just the right temperature to warm her hands. Her expression suddenly became complex, unable to deceive her own heart. She couldn’t even articulate why she liked them so much, even after knowing the identity of the girl in front of her, she still agreed to come over for a meal.

She reigned in the indescribable emotions at the bottom of her heart and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "The person I met last night was your husband, right?"

Rong Yan looked at her.

"I think Duidui looks like him, doesn’t she?"

Rong Yan’s dark eyes sparkled, clear as water, and she smiled with curved lips, her face softened, "Mm... he is my boyfriend for now."

Put a pin in secret husband!

However, her secret marriage to Li Shengxiao was meant to be kept under wraps for now. She didn’t plan to casually tell anyone.

Jiang Chenyue seemed very interested in the topic, and immediately continued, "Your boyfriend is quite handsome. I’m very curious how you two met. Could you share your love story with us?"

"Li Shengxiao and I..." Rong Yan thought for a moment about what to say, her bright, large eyes meeting Jiang Chenyue’s gaze, she said with a light smile, "We don’t have any special love story. It was just an ordinary coincidence of meeting each other, then going through some things together and slowly realizing that the other person was the one we were looking for and then got together."

"Actually." Jiang Chenyue paused, then said to her, "I saw some news about you online. When I saw you yesterday, you were wearing a hat that covered half of your face. I didn’t see you clearly. It wasn’t until the evening that I got a clear look. I didn’t expect you to be a celebrity."

She didn’t sound overly surprised when she mentioned the word celebrity, as if to her, being a celebrity was just like any other regular job.

Rong Yan became even more convinced of her extraordinary status.

It’s not that she considered celebrities superior, but to ordinary people, celebrities are indeed less common as a profession. Though for her, a job is just a job, without any hierarchical distinctions!

"I didn’t mean to hide it, it’s just... there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy to say."

Jiang Chenyue smiled and nodded, "You don’t have to be nervous. I know you weren’t deliberately hiding it from me. I just mentioned it casually."

Out of curiosity, but with no ill intent, she said, "There are a lot of news articles about you online, and some about your family. Do you... remember anything from your childhood?"

"Something from my childhood?"

Jiang Chenyue looked at her, noticing the resemblance to Chu Xi, and the seeds in her heart uncontrollably took root and began to sprout. She suddenly became nervous and asked Rong Yan seriously, "Do you know about your biological parents?"

Rong Yan had a confused expression, but was not angry, and responded frankly, "I don’t know. Some say they were just petty delinquents, who had me when they were young and ignorant. Unable to afford raising me and unwilling to take responsibility, they abandoned me in the hospital corridor, hoping someone would pick me up."

"That’s impossible!" Jiang Chenyue blurted out subconsciously, not knowing why.

After speaking, she realized she had been too emotional and, slightly embarrassed, she started to say, "You’re so adorable, how could your parents abandon you? There must be some misunderstanding. Besides, if what you said is true and they are so destitute they can’t even care for their own daughter and are irresponsible, they would have reached out to you after seeing the news by now."
