Chapter 413: Qi Chenglin Exclaimed Internally that He Was Indeed Captivating

Ruan Danchen was thankful that Gao Xiaoyang said nothing apart from sharing the link.

With trembling fingers, she tapped into the link and saw a long stretch of Weibo thread.

It was obvious that the post owner was a newly registered dummy account. The account had no following nor was there any profile image. Besides, the only content on the owner’s homepage was that long Weibo post.

Nonetheless, that sole long post had garnered the attention of numerous fans. In just a short time, the number of followers of the post owner had reached six hundred thousand.

Taking in a deep breath, Ruan Danchen anxiously clicked onto that long Weibo post. Her eyes quickly caught sight of the owner swearing that the information shared was absolutely reliable as it was obtained from a trustworthy source. The way it was written implied that the information came from a party involved in the incident.

Before divulging the details, the owner also cursed that if there was any falsification in that post, the owner would die in different ways such as being struck by lightning, hit by a car, choked on water, and hit by a falling vase.

Due to the post owner’s ruthless curse, most people had believed in the owner even before reading the content below.

Immediately after reading the lead paragraph, Ruan Danchen had a feeling that the post owner was a professional tabloid journalist who was perhaps hired to expose the truth.

She used to read gossips on Weibo in the past. Therefore, she knew that the writing style of professional tabloid journalists was different from regular Weibo users. The tabloid journalists were well versed in capturing netizens’ attention. Even when breaking fictional news, they could write in ways to persuade their audience that the news was real.

Ruan Danchen took in another deep shaky breath. Then, she gathered her courage to continue reading the content.

The result was not what she wanted to see the most. The content was not far from the truth in her past. However, it was misleading the audience to believe that she was a cunning woman who used sly tactics to advance her social standing.

The owner explained that Shen Zhijing was infertile due to multiple miscarriages. So, she asked Liu Ronghua to persuade Ruan Danchen into giving birth on her behalf. The child born would belong to Shen Zhijing. Liu Ronghua had agreed to help Shen Zhijing out of her love for Shen Jialiang. Nevertheless, she was unsure if Ruan Danchen would be willing to help. Who knew that Ruan Danchen was, in fact, looking for a way to approach Qi Chenglin. Thus, she had quickly agreed to it.

The Shen family had drugged Qi Chenglin and let Ruan Danchen spend a night with him. Under the influence of the drug, Qi Chenglin had a sexual relationship with Ruan Danchen that night. When he finally fell asleep after the act, Shen Zhijing took over Ruan Danchen’s place in the bed next to him. As a result, after waking up and regaining his consciousness, Qi Chenglin had assumed that the person he had a sexual relationship with was Shen Zhijing.

That night was Ruan Danchen’s first time. With the act happening at the Shen family manor, Shen Jialiang had intentionally caught Qi Chenglin in bed with Shen Zhijing. Their scheme had gone surprisingly smoothly. After that night, Ruan Danchen had become pregnant with Qi Chenglin’s child. As planned, Shen Zhijing took the opportunity to inform Qi Chenglin that she was pregnant. That led to the announcement of Qi Chenglin and Shen Zhijing’s engagement.

Therefore, one of the mysteries that year had been revealed. Netizens finally understood why Qi Chenglin was engaged with Shen Zhijing despite his status.

Despite the unexpected development and seemingly fictional twist, the post owner’s well-organized description, clear logic, and presentation of cause and effect had led many to believe that the truth was most of the time unimaginable.

With that, more audience had begun to believe in the post owner.

Then, the post owner added that the child was born prematurely in the eighth month. Ruan Danchen was under the effect of anesthesia during the c-section. When she was awake, the Shen family tricked her that she had a miscarriage. In fact, the Shen family had brought the child home secretly and told Qi Chenglin that Shen Zhijing had given birth to the child. Qi Chenglin, of course, did not trust them easily. So, he took the child to perform a DNA test. The child was indeed his but had no relationship with Shen Zhijing.

Thereafter, Qi Chenglin and Shen Zhijing’s engagement was called off.

Yet another mystery was revealed. That had explained why Shen Zhijing had claimed to be pregnant but did not give birth to the child, why Qi Chenglin was engaged with Shen Zhijing but later broke off their engagement, and why Qi Chenglin suddenly brought home a child with him.

Until then, about ninety percent of the audience had believed in the post owner.

The cunning Ruan Danchen was also not easily tricked by the Shen family. She noticed that Qi Chenglin had brought home a son and began to suspect that the child was hers. So, she tried every means to approach Qi Chenglin.

After seven years of patience, Ruan Danchen finally had the chance to get close to Qi Chenglin and his son with Song Yu’s help. Using the natural advantages of their blood relation, she first got Qi Youxuan’s trust before winning Qi Chenglin’s love. She devised her plan carefully and was finally married to Qi Chenglin.

The post owner’s conclusion: ‘This is a real inspirational show of a scheming woman disguised as a white lotus 1, who struck down the fair-skinned lady from a decent family to reach the top. She is a model of success, a winner in life.’

The post owner’s sarcasm was clearly directed to both Ruan Danchen and Shen Zhijing. However, that sarcasm had indicated that the incident was definitely not caused by Shen Zhijing.

If Shen Zhijing had wanted to pull herself out from that incident, she could have used other ways instead of slamming herself by exposing her plan of getting a replacement and being infertile.

The fact of being infertile was enough to destroy her marriage in the future. No one from the common family, let alone their circle, would be willing to marry her with that knowledge in mind. Being rich could not resolve the problem that was closely tied with their lineage.

Besides, there was barely love as a fundamental of their relationship. Even if the man was very much in love with her, it was still difficult to marry her with the great pressure from the family elders, not to mention that she was still single at the moment. Her pathway to marriage in the future would be blocked by her infertility.

Nonetheless, Ruan Danchen was still relieved that the person behind the post owner seemed to only want to slam her and Shen Zhijing at the same time. It was because both Ruan Danchen and Shen Zhijing were too eye-catching in the post. Qi Youxuan’s presence in the post, on the other hand, was lowered. Most audiences had just overlooked the fact that Qi Youxuan was her son. So, they did not start the issue of his lineage.

The comments below the post were mostly bashing her with only some directed towards Shen Zhijing.

[1st Comment: What a winner in life. She finally got the prince charming through various means. That’s why we say that a woman who is not shameless has difficulty rising in society.]

[2nd Comment: Hahaha. Does that mean that Shen Zhijing brought that on herself?]

[3rd Comment: Why is a woman like Ruan Danchen married to Qi Chenglin? How can she match him? What’s her right for happiness?]

[4th Comment: Although I feel disappointed when I heard that Young Master Lin is already married, I’m still aware of our difference. I can usually just idolize him from afar yet I know that I can never be together with Young Master Lin in my life, not even meeting him in person. I send him my best wishes on his marriage and hope that he finally found a good wife who loves and matches him. However, I have never expected his wife to be such a derogated person. She is not a match for Young Master Lin!]

[5th Comment: Shameless woman! B’tch! Leave him!]

[6th Comment: That shameless scheming b’tch! She is not a match for Young Master Lin! She doesn’t deserve happiness! I feel sorry for her son to have a mother like her!]

[7th Comment: If even a b’tch like this can get happiness, there is no more justice left in this world!]

[8th Comment: How does she deserve the prince charming? Stop ruining him! My heart aches for him.]

[9th Comment: How can this Ruan Danchen truly love Young Master Lin? Doesn’t she just want his money? What a money face. Out of so many people, she just has to get Young Master Lin who is so handsome and charming. She should get herself an old man if she loves money so much!]

[10th Comment: I support the comment above. Young Master Lin, divorce her quickly! Don’t let her taint you. Marrying her is a taint in your life!]

[11th Comment: It’s so obvious that she is a woman with loose morals. Wishing her luck with all the bashing!]

Ruan Danchen read through those comments to find some that pitied Qi Chenglin. Such comments were less intense and still bearable while others were just too harsh. She swiftly glanced over the comments to confirm that her child was not a subject for those slamming. Apart from a few comments, most audiences merely felt sorry that Qi Youxuan had a mother like her. Seeing that no harm fell unto her child, she exited the comments.

After exiting the link, she quickly noticed thousands of comments below her Weibo post from a year ago.

When Weibo had just started to become popular, she would always log in to Weibo because it was new to her. Despite that, she rarely posted on her Weibo. Most of the time, she enjoyed reading the posts of the VIPs, some amusing jokes, and gossips.

Then, WeChat had begun to grow in popularity with a better offer of privacy. Unlike Weibo, an owner’s post can only be seen by the owner’s circle of friends. Even if the owner had friends who advertised their procurement services and sold health care and makeup products, those advertisements were still tolerable. Therefore, Ruan Danchen’s time spent on Weibo had gradually reduced. That post from a year ago was her last post on Weibo. She would only log in to Weibo to read some recent news.

Ruan Danchen entered her Weibo homepage to find all those thousands of comments were slamming comments directed to her.

Her last post was a picture of the rarely seen blue sky in B City. The text that accompanied the post was: ‘Looking at the blue sky, my mood is also lifted’.

In the past, there were only a few comments on that post including a comment from Song Yu.

Within a few minutes after that long Weibo post, her last post had gained thousands of new comments and Song Yu had become inevitably entangled in it.

[1st Comment: B’tch! Stop harming a good man! Have some shame and quickly leave him alone! Don’t bring harm to your son as well!]

[2nd Comment: B’tch is really dramatic!]

[3rd Comment: A hardworking woman fights with her capability while a b’tch opens her legs to sell herself!]

[4th Comment: Hehehe. A woman who could sleep with a man without hesitation. I wonder how many men she has slept with these seven years.]

[5th Comment: Stop cheating on Young Master Lin and stop tainting him! Leave him quickly!]

[6th Comment: Don’t be tricked by this woman. Look at her true self and quickly get away from her. Protect yourself against fire, disaster, and bestie! @SongYu]

[7th Comment: How will your son live with a mother like you? You can be a b’tch all you want. Don’t drag your son down with you. That child is innocent.]

[8th Comment: If I were you, I will quickly leave without telling anyone.]

[9th Comment: Please leave Young Master Lin and the Qi family. I beg you. Don’t harm them anymore. My heart really aches for them.]

[10th Comment: I cry when I see Young Master Lin being tricked by this woman.]

Ruan Danchen let out a sardonic laugh when she read the 9th and 10th comments.

As she was reading, more comments flowed in continuously. The contents in those comments were similar to one another. They were all slamming her. Some comments were so harsh they even included certain organs and elders. Some were interesting with their network language while others were creative with their doggerels.

Nonetheless, she felt most apologetic to Song Yu for involving her in those network bashing just because they followed each other on Weibo. Ruan Danchen did not follow many people nor did she have many followers. Besides, Song Yu’s account was named ‘Feather 1’. The ‘Yu’ character made it easy to guess her identity. Thus, many people even tagged Song Yu when t they left comments under her post.

As Ruan Danchen did not have a VIP account on Weibo, she was unable to turn off the comment section. There was nothing that she could do to stop the comments from flowing in continuously. So, she went to Weibo settings and turned off the comments notification alert instead. Once the alert was turned off, peace had finally returned to the upper right corner of her Weibo.

After looking into the tags that Weibo users had put her in, she realized that not only did some major VIP tabloid accounts leaked her Weibo ID to the public, they were also kind enough to tag her on their posts. Consequently, netizens could simply click the tag to reach her in Weibo.

She had noticed a post by a marketing account named ‘The Tabloid Inn’ earlier.

[VIP The Tabloid Inn: In today’s explosive yet inspirational post about a scheming loser climbing up the ladder by ‘So, I’m an Online Cover’, one of the parties, Ruan So and So’s Weibo account is here. Portal: Hawthorn Roll. (I can only help your honey till here. Don’t ask me why. I’m a five-stroke armband 1.)]

There were also Weibo users who later shared that post or even wrote and tagged her in their new posts. So, Ruan Danchen turned off the tagging notification alert as well.

The slamming commotion on Weibo at that moment was directed at her. No one dared to even mention the rather exciting thread which was started by the Qilin employees that morning.

For a short while, Ruan Danchen stared absent-mindedly at her phone. Then, she got up and walked out of the office with her phone in her hand.

Not long after she left the office, her colleagues had also read that news on Weibo. They, too, were at a loss for words all of a sudden.

They were usually on good terms with Ruan Danchen. Besides, the whole company could see how Qi Chenglin pampered her. Therefore, they were unlike the other netizens who reacted in an extreme manner. Even so, they were still caught off guard and did not know what to think about at that moment.

Ruan Danchen did not know that her colleagues had already read the news. Nonetheless, she expected them to see that post sooner or later.

Striding out the elevator towards Qi Chenglin’s office, she met a few Qilin employees who greeted her politely. However, the look in their eyes was slightly different.

Ruan Danchen did not have the time to ponder about those looks. When she was about to reach the door to Qi Chenglin’s office, she received a call from him.

“Are you free now? Come up to my office if you are.” Qi Chenglin’s voice was still tender and pleasant through the phone. It possessed the strength to calm her down.

As soon as she heard Qi Chenglin’s voice, Ruan Danchen felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Her heart was no longer as heavy as it initially was from the Weibo commotion.

She was only worried that Qi Youxuan would be dragged down along the line when the Weibo commotion started.

According to the situation earlier, Ruan Danchen could conclude that all negative intentions were clearly directed at her. Even Shen Zhijing was rarely brought up during the commotion. Being infertile had garnered enough pity from the audience, much less having the post owner implying subtly that Shen Zhijing was actually being used by Ruan Danchen. Thus, after verbally attacking Shen Zhijing, they had all pointed their guns at Ruan Danchen.

Although Ruan Danchen was mad and hurt by the netizens’ slam, she was still surprisingly composed.

Listening to Qi Chenglin’s voice had made her realized that she could only stay so calm and composed because he was there with her. As long as she had Qi Chenglin by her side, she had nothing to worry about. He was sure to resolve the problem for her.

She just felt bad that the incident had caused troubles to him and the Qi family.

Qi Chenglin’s attractive voice was so gentle and husky that it warmed her heart. Setting aside her troubles, Ruan Danchen’s lips curled into a smile as she continued towards his office. “What a coincidence. I’m just right at your door.”

Even Qi Chenglin was surprised at her statement. He could not help himself from furrowing his brows in response. Could it be that Ruan Danchen had seen the commotion on Weibo? Was that why she went to look for him?

However, she did not sound like someone who had just received a blow. Her speech had a hint of laughter and her mood seemed perfectly normal.

Regardless of his worry, everything would be fine as long as her mood was not affected.

When Jiang Yuan had informed him about the commotion on Weibo earlier, Qi Chenglin immediately called Ruan Danchen after taking a look at it. He was afraid that she might be hurt by the online bashing. So, he had quickly asked her to head to his office.

Although she would still know about that matter, at least, he was there by her side. He could give her some time to prepare herself to minimize the effect of the blow. His presence would also support her and provide her with courage in time, calming her before her fear emerged.

With that thought in mind, Qi Chenglin asked, “Then, why don’t you come in?”

Then, he quickly added on, “Don’t need to knock.”

Just as he finished his sentence, the door to his office was pushed open. Ruan Danchen stepped into his office with her phone still sticking to her ear. At the sight of Qi Chenglin, the pain that troubled her earlier had flown out her mind.

Her distinctive big round eyes shone brightly as they curled into crescents with her smile. Those eyes could not move away as soon as they fell onto Qi Chenglin’s clear elegant face.

She felt that as though she could just stare at him forever.

Even if he was already in his forties or fifties, he would still carry an air of power and elegance. He would nevertheless be a handsome and outstanding middle-aged man. She could never have enough of him even when they had grown old.

Qi Chenglin was glad to notice her staring dumbfoundedly at him. He exclaimed internally that he was indeed captivating. He had a sense of achievement for attracting so much of his wife’s attention.

He instinctively sat up straighter in pride. His suit had well enveloped his body shape, making him looked unusually tall and strong. He was even better looking than those models, just like a true knight.

“Why are you still holding the phone next to your ear when you are already here in person?” Looking at her bewitched expression, Qi Chenglin raised his brows proudly. His arrogance was slightly infuriating.

Ruan Danchen instantly recalled the time when she was framed by Mu Sisi and was confined behind bars in the police station. After being taken to the Qi family manor by Song Yu, Qi Chenglin had called her at her number. At that time, she had also become dumbfounded when receiving his call and was teased by him for that.

When she thought about it, she, too, felt that she was pretty silly.

Jiang Yuan, who was waiting for Qi Chenglin’s instruction, had decided to leave the two alone. He turned around and smiled at Ruan Danchen before walking out of the office.

With Jiang Yuan outside the office, no one would be able to disturb them. Qi Chenglin beckoned Ruan Danchen to go near him as he remembered her infatuated stare. “Come.”

Ruan Danchen walked towards him quickly to tell him that post on Weibo.

Yet, just as she called out ‘Cheng’, he pulled her into his arms and settled her on his lap.

It was great to be able to hug her like that even during working hours.

Qi Chenglin began to plot in his mind. In the future, if he was alone in his office and had no need to meet any other Qilin employees, he would ask Ruan Danchen to go up to his office and hugged her as he worked.

If she had work to be done, she could always bring them up to his office and did her work with him. That way, he could look at her as much as he liked. What a pleasing sight to fuel his mood at work. He was sure that his performance would sky-rocketed with her by his side. Besides, he could also be motivated by kissing her from time to time.

With that thought in mind, he lowered his gaze to find her ears burning brightly. The fluffy little white hair on her flushed ears caused her pale skin to appear as translucent as glass.

Qi Chenglin’s heart itched terribly at the sight. He could not help himself from brushing his lips against one of her ears and then taking it into his mouth. Her ear tasted sweet in his mouth.

Ruan Danchen had wanted to discuss a serious problem with him but was distracted by his actions. She shivered as she felt her ear in the boiling warmth of his mouth. Her skin blushed inevitably from the top to the bottom.
