Chapter 758: The Frenzied Spread of News
The most calls were from Xiao Qi, followed by Xiaoze, and a few from former colleagues.
Her heart skipped a beat!
It seemed like something major had happened!
She dialed Xiao Qi first; this lady was pregnant, and it wouldn’t be good if she got upset!
"Yiliang! Where have you been these last few days?" Soon, Xiao Qi’s voice broke through the air, "You better have an explanation for me!"
Mu Yiliang was completely puzzled: "Explanation? What explanation?"
Had she done anything terribly upsetting recently?
Across from her, Yan Sijue had a mysterious smile.
"Keep pretending!" Xiao Qi was exasperated, "The internet’s gone crazy! Weibo, Facebook, and Twitter are all buzzing with this news! And you’re playing disappearing act?"
Mu Yiliang was even more confused!
She looked up at Yan Sijue’s smiling eyes, instinctively knowing he was behind this!
"I haven’t been online these past few days, I really don’t know anything..."
"I’m asking you, did you and Yan Sijue... get engaged?" Xiao Qi asked, suppressing her anger.
So it was about this matter?
Was it possible that this man had announced it online?
"Yes..." She admitted honestly, glancing at her ring, "He proposed to me, and then... I accepted."
Xiao Qi gasped!
"Is he with you?" she asked calmly.
"Yes."
"Give him the phone." Xiao Qi sounded like her inner fire was burning.
Mu Yiliang silently handed the phone over: "Xiao Qi wants to talk to you."
Yan Sijue chuckled, took the phone, and answered with a "hello".
"Yan Sijue!" Xiao Qi gritted her teeth, "Do you know what you’re doing?"
The man glanced at the woman in his arms, without hesitation, gave a "yes": "I never do anything I’m not sure of, you should at least trust that I would never hurt her."
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment: "Alright, hope you keep your word."
"Give her back the phone."
Mu Yiliang took it back nervously: "Xiao Qi..."
"If he bullies you, don’t forget you have me." Xiao Qi said, seemingly choked up, "You silly girl, don’t get fooled by anyone!"
Mu Yiliang felt her eyes getting a bit moist.
"Mm, don’t worry."
Ending the call, Mu Yiliang fiercely glared at him: "What exactly did you do?"
"Yiliang, let’s get married next month? This season is perfect for a wedding."
"It’s too fast!"
"But, the whole world knows we’re getting married." He chuckled softly, "Can you bear to let them down?"
Mu Yiliang’s eyes widened, she quickly checked Weibo on her phone, then discovered her homepage was flooded with a post from FIS’s official account!
You are my Light of Life.
The first picture was a photo of the two of them, embracing tightly, the man slightly lowering his head to gaze at her tenderly, filled with deep affection.
And she, resting with eyes closed on his chest, with a smile at her lips.
Exquisitely beautiful.
The second picture showed him holding her hand, with the diamond ring sparkling brightly.
Mu Yiliang trembled slightly.
These two photos seemed to have been taken after she fell asleep, completely unaware.
"Si Jue..." Her voice was choked.
"Announcing our wedding news without your consent, will you be angry?" he spoke softly, "I was just... too happy."
Once, he had always kept their relationship hidden to protect her.
But now, he wanted the whole world to know that they belonged only to each other.
