Shen Liangchuan walked to the centre of the stage and stood there.
The reporters on the seats were in an excited frenzy.
The questions they had asked Qiao Lian earlier were now all directed at Shen Liangchuan.
“Mr. Shen, can you tell us what your relationship with Forget Chuan is?”
“Why did you respond to her on Weibo?”
“What did you mean by ‘Stop it’?”
“Mr. Shen, does your wife know about this? You’ve kept the identity of Mrs. Shen under wraps all this time. Did you want this to be a secret marriage? Or could it be that you are not even married?”
Shen Liangchuan was the picture of calmness, even as these questions were rapidly directed at him.
Song Cheng extended his hands in a gesture to get the people to calm down. “Okay, we will take the questions one by one.”
The reporters immediately raised their hands.
Song Cheng pointed to one of them. The reporter asked, “Mr. Shen, are you really married?”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “Yes.”
The reporter was going to follow up with another question when Song Cheng had pointed to another reporter, who asked, “Mr. Shen, what is your relationship with Forget Chuan?”
Everyone turned around simultaneously with this question and looked at Shen Liangchuan as well as Qiao Lian, who even after hiding had been spotted by the crowd.
Shen Liangchuan’s lips curled into a smile and said, “Our relationship is what you think it is.”
That simple declaration shook the crowd.
Their relationship was what people thought it was
Their thoughts were that Qiao Lian was Shen Liangchuan’s lover? That they had something going on?
Zhang Chunhua was getting angry now and asked boldly, “Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this? Are you telling us that you are with both women? Are you telling us that both Forget Chuan and Mrs. Shen are willing?”
She certainly did not mince her words.
And there was worse to come. “The other day we saw that, Mr. Shen, you picked Forget Chuan up and drove her to your villa district. Does this mean that Forget Chuan and Mrs. Shen live together?”
She laughed derisively and looked in Qiao Lian’s direction. “Forget Chuan, since you’re here, why are you not daring enough to show your face? Have you finally realized how shameful this is?”
After she had spoken, all the reporters around started to concur with her.
“That’s right, what sort of society is this?”
“What is this all about?”
“Mr. Shen, is your marriage with Mrs. Shen on the rocks?”
When he heard this, Shen Liangchuan suddenly laughed. He said, “That’s correct. My wife, Forget Chuan and I, we all live together.”
With that remark, the room fell into a dead silence.
Was this how open people were nowadays?
However, as everyone was trying to get over their shock, Shen Liangchuan continued, “Because my wife is Forget Chuan.”
After saying this, he turned suddenly to look at Qiao Lian, who was in a corner, and held his hand out towards her.
Qiao Lian felt a surge of emotions as she smiled and shook her head, and then she walked towards him.
She extended her hand and placed it on Shen Liangchuan’s.
Both of them stood hand-in-hand before the media representatives and, through the camera lenses recording a live broadcast, the rest of the world.
Shen Liangchuan’s gaze fell steadily on the cameras before him and, through the lenses, it was as though he was looking into the eyes of everyone who was watching. He said in a serious tone, “Please allow me to introduce my wife, Forget Chuan.”
My wife, Forget Chuan.
Those simple words were the year’s most torturous for the singles out there.
Regardless of whether they were reporters, or the livestreaming audience, everyone thought the same way as they watched the couple standing together, shoulder-to-shoulder, hand-in-hand.
