Meng Yao turned the grapes in her hand over and looked away from the TV screen for a moment: "Brother Liang, what can we do?"
"Hasn't your marriage been announced yet? It's a good opportunity to announce it now to dispel the rumors and all the previous mistress scandals. You know paparazzi are very cunning, and many of the revelations are unexpected. You might as well take this opportunity to maximize your benefits."
"Of course this is just my opinion. You have to consider the details yourself."
Meng Yao was silent for a few seconds, and her tone became unusually calm: "Give me some time."
Guan Liang's expression in the video did not change: "This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. You need to discuss it with Mr. Rong. No matter what, I support you."
There was a hint of comfort in his eyes.
Meng Yao nodded and said absentmindedly: "I will discuss it carefully."

charity dinner
There were countless beautiful girls coming over to say hello. Rong Yun slowly raised his hand. There was a diamond ring on his slender fingers, which was extremely conspicuous against his cold white skin. The meaning of discouraging them from coming was self-evident.
"Don't just say that having a ring is good. At least it can block a lot of romantic opportunities for you, Brother Rong." Xia Yansen said. He looked around for a long time and always felt that there was a little emptiness around him. He couldn't help but move towards Rong Yan.
"Brother Rong, why don't you bring a female companion with you? Look, everyone comes in pairs. How can two grown men like us walk in together?"
"Could it be..." His gossiping heart was ignited again: "Could it be that Meng Yao doesn't want to come with you..."
"Noisy." The other party only replied with two words and gently shook the champagne in his hand.
Xia Yansen touched his nose and said nothing. He had discovered that Rong Yan's temper had not improved since the scandal with Meng Yao. He did not lose his temper with Meng Yao, but accumulated all his resentment here, with a sullen face.
"Brother Rong, if it's you, I think you should discipline Meng Yao and make her cheat on you all day long, either having scandals with this guy or that guy!"
Rong Yan's eyes drifted over slowly: "How to deal with it?"
"You have to threaten her with words at least so that she won't dare to do it again! Meng Yao is actually quite timid, why don't you scare her a few more times?" Xia Yansen raised his head slightly.
Rong Wei's expression did not change, and he said slowly: "I know she doesn't have any feelings for that person, they have no relationship..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words. He just couldn't control himself and couldn't help caring and being jealous.
He still maintained his good habit of not drinking, and the glass of champagne in his hand remained untouched.
Rong Yun handed the champagne to Xia Yansen and took off his suit jacket: "You stay here, I'll go out for some fresh air."
Xia Yansen lowered his eyes to look at the coat in his arms, then looked at Rong Yan's departing figure, feeling quite complicated.
Ever since he met Meng Yao, Rong Yan has become a resentful husband.

Rong Xuan came back a little later than usual, and there was inevitably some smell of tobacco on his body, mixed with the smell of sandalwood, which was indescribably spicy and bitter.
"Are you back? Sit down first."
This was a rare opportunity for them to have a serious discussion, and Meng Yao tried her best to avoid feeling awkward when facing Rong Yan.
Obviously, she could just say a few words to fool him, just like before. But she found that she couldn't do it now. She always had an unspeakable feeling when facing Rong Wei. She didn't want to deceive him, so she could only avoid him as much as possible.
Sometimes she was afraid that he would suddenly ask some questions, questions that she couldn't answer, so avoiding and keeping silent became the best way. But there was one thing she had to admit, the reason she felt uncomfortable was because she couldn't be as cold and indifferent to him as before.
Her tone was not as sweet as before, but Rong Wei felt that this was the real her. She was gradually revealing her true side in front of him.
He discovered that the depths of her eyes were not empty at all, and occasionally showed a hint of warmth. These were changes in her, changes that moved his heart.
There is still so much time for them to get used to each other.
Rong Yan's expression unconsciously warmed up, and his gaze was shallow, like a loyal listener.
Meng Yao was the first to look away.
She felt that her appearance had changed a lot, but she didn't know when it started.
Rong Wei is a very strong person, both on the surface and in his heart, his eyes are always hot and aggressive. But now he has restrained all the sharp corners and is gentle and elegant.
It is because of this that Meng Yao feels fear, a fear that cannot resist the unknown.
He was like an extremely patient hunter, and gentleness was his net. If he relaxed even a little, he would be drowned in the several feet deep spring water.
"I..." Meng Yao sat up straighter: "It's like this, I recently got into a scandal..."
Somehow, she felt that when she said the word "scandal", the other person's face darkened, but only for a moment.
Rong Yan asked patiently, "And then?"
"I was thinking, I want to take this opportunity to announce our relationship..." Meng Yao has been observing his expression: "Husband, what do you think?"
Rong Wei suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes showing a bit of indescribable complexity. He seemed incredulous: "You... are willing to announce our relationship?"
Being stared at by him like this, Meng Yao suddenly felt like a scumbag. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "Wasn't it a coincidence before? Of course I was willing."
"Okay." Rong Yun raised the corner of his lips very lightly, showing a faint smile. He restrained the urge to kiss her, and reminded himself countless times in his heart to proceed step by step.
He spoke each word with a firmness: "I am willing to do so, too."
We were just discussing something, but why did it feel like a solemn wedding vow? It was weird.
Meng Yao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She stood up in a panic. She deliberately made her tone more casual: "In that case, I'll go and deal with things first."
She didn't wait for his answer and went upstairs directly, leaving the long-awaited TV series behind.
After Meng Yao returned, she reported the matter to Guan Liang.
Guan Liang was surprised and said, "So fast? It seems that you two had a pleasant communication. In that case, I will take care of it."
Meng Yao's voice was a little vague, and Guan Liang on the other end didn't know if it was because she was sleepy: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Liang."
