Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

The popularity of Shen Junhui and I’s wedding is about to pass, but ripples have appeared on the calm surface of the lake again. A video released by an entertainment reporter has once again made us a hot topic.

I was looking at project documents in the office when my secretary suddenly knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Wei, a reporter wants to interview you. Would you like to accept the interview?" asked Secretary Xiao Wu.

"Interview? Where are these reporters from? What do they want to interview? This is not on my schedule!" I picked up the tablet to check my schedule.

"Indeed not, but..." Xiao Wu hesitated to speak.

"Speak directly!"

"Because of a video, reporters want to interview you and want to know your attitude!"

"Video? What video?" I was confused.

"I'll send it to you." After saying that, Xiao Wu picked up his phone and sent me a video.

The person in the video is Li Zhanwen! He was crying in the bathroom. What happened? I read the text explanation below. It turns out that Li Zhanwen was crying in the bathroom on my wedding day. The media linked the two events together and labeled Li Zhanwen "infatuated." The public is very interested in the gossip about wealthy families. More than an hour after the video was released, it has received tens of millions of views. Judging by the trend, the popularity is expected to continue to rise. I originally thought that I could finish the work at hand quickly and go on my honeymoon with peace of mind, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time!

Xiao Yuan and Xu Jing came to my office one after another.

"Did you two make an appointment?" I looked at them suspiciously.

"We are a coincidence!" Xiao Yuan explained.

"Are you here to listen to gossip?" I asked back.

"What gossip are you listening to? I just want to ask you if you need to send a lawyer's letter!" Xu Jing's tone was still as cold as ever.

"No need. If they like to listen to gossip, let them listen. Gossip is also the source of livelihood for paparazzi. Let them be! Besides, sending too many lawyers' letters is not good either. It will make people think that we are stingy in the future!" I was very calm.

Xiao Yuan looked around and said with a smile, "Is there really nothing going on between you and Li Zhanwen? There are only three of us here. I promise no one else will know!"

"Look! He's the one listening to the gossip, not me!" Xu Jing said with disdain.

I also looked at Xiao Yuan with disdain, "How can you, a man who is about to turn forty, be so gossipy?"

"No personal attacks! Men care about age, too!"

Xu Jing smiled, and Xiao Yuan and I were shocked. It wasn't often that Xu Jing smiled, and this was the first time we'd ever seen her smile. We stared at her, and she immediately dropped her smile, looking at us seriously. "Is there something on my face? Why are you two looking at me like that?"

"This is the first time you've smiled in such a long time!" Xiao Yuan couldn't believe his eyes.

"Really? Does that look good?"

"Looks great! So why do you always have such a stern face? They've nicknamed you 'Black-Faced God'!"

"So I have to smile every day like you?" This rhetorical question made Xiao Yuan not know how to answer for a moment.

"Just don't be so serious next time! Let's get back to the point! Why is Li Zhanwen so infatuated with you? The fact that she can make a man like this shows that this woman is something!" Xiao Yuan looked me up and down.

"Put aside your imagination! There is nothing between him and me! I know he likes me, but I don't know to what extent!" I retorted Xiao Yuan.

"She got married, but the groom was not me! What a tragic love story!" Xiao Yuan sighed.

"Whether he likes me or not is his business. I can't control him, okay? Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. It's time to get off work. I have to leave and go shopping!" After saying that, I went to the table to pack up my things.

"Shopping? With whom?" Xiao Yuan looked gossipy.

"My mother-in-law, your aunt!" I answered with disgust.

"Okay, okay! Go ahead!"

I drove to the central square to meet my mother-in-law.

"here!"

I saw my mother-in-law waving and walked over, "I'm late!"

My mother-in-law smiled and said, "It's okay if you have to go to work. I'm unemployed, so it's okay for me to wait a little longer."

"Mom, what do you want to eat?" I asked while looking at the menu.

"I've already ordered, and I ordered for you too. Ah Hui said you only like that dish, so I ordered them all."

"Thank you so much, because I always failed when trying new things before, so I don't dare to do it anymore after a while," I replied after taking a sip of tea.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll recommend you a few of their signature dishes. This tea restaurant is pretty good! I come here often!"

"Okay! Next time then!"

We were having a happy chat when suddenly several reporters rushed out to interview us. I was scared, but my mother-in-law was probably used to such scenes and was not panicked at all.

Reporter: Mr. Wei, what do you think about Li Zhanwen’s case?

Me: I don’t have any opinion!

Reporter: When did you and Li Zhanwen start dating?

Me: He and I are just ordinary friends!

Reporter: If you were just friends, why did you give birth to his child? When did you end your relationship?

Me: No comment!

Reporter: Li Zhanwen still misses you. What exactly caused you to break up?

Me: No comment!

Reporter: Was it because of his mother’s obstruction?

Me: No comment!

A dramatic scene occurred. Li Zhanwen's mother happened to come to this tea restaurant. When the reporter saw it, he immediately ran to Li's mother for an interview.

Reporter: Mrs. Li, have you seen the video of your son crying heart-wrenchingly in the bathroom because Wei Qing got married?

Li's mother did not want to be interviewed, so Li Zhiwen helped to stop the reporter, "Sorry, sorry, my mother has not been feeling well recently and cannot be interviewed! Everyone, please go back!"

The reporter did not give up and continued to ask questions and put the microphone to Li's mother's mouth.

Reporter: Is it really because of you that Li Zhanwen and Wei Qing, the star-crossed couple, cannot be together?

When Mrs. Li heard this, she became very angry, stopped and glared at the reporter, who continued to ask questions.

Reporter: Why do you want to separate them?

Mother Li: This woman has caused a break between my mother and me, and now she has abandoned my son. This is simply unreasonable!

Reporter: So you didn't separate them?

Mother Li: Go ask them yourself!

The reporter immediately ran over to ask us.

Reporter: Mrs. Li said she never tried to stop you and Li Zhanwen. Mr. Wei, what was the reason for your breakup? Was it Li Zhanwen's fault or yours?

Me: No comment!

Mother Li rushed over and yelled at me, "You woman, my son has now disowned me as his mother, and now you're marrying someone else! Mrs. Shen, you're going to have a hard time having a daughter-in-law like this!"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, maybe you misunderstood Wei Qing before! Wei Qing is a very good person. Our Shen family is very lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law!"

Mother Li continued to taunt, "How can a woman who flirts with other men and has children with random men be considered a good woman?"

"Although I don't know what happened between them, based on my understanding of Wei Qing, she would not do anything immoral! Mrs. Li, I guess there is some misunderstanding between you two!"

"Since she is your daughter-in-law, please discipline her and don't let her seduce other people's sons!" Mother Li was still very angry.

The mother-in-law was also angered by her words, "Our daughter-in-law will not seduce other people's sons! And please don't disturb my son and daughter-in-law's lives anymore! It's him who is disturbing them now, not Wei Qing who is harassing your son!"

I didn't expect my mother-in-law to defend me so much, and I was very happy. Seeing that Li's mother was not willing to listen, my mother-in-law pulled me out of the tea restaurant.

"Mom, thank you!" After returning home, I thanked my mother-in-law.

"What are you thanking me for? We're all family! This Mrs. Li is really strong-willed! And she can't stand others talking about her son. She's really a stubborn old woman! You're tired too, go and rest!"

I returned to my room and watched the video. Li Zhanwen was indeed heartbroken, but it was useless. Perhaps we were just not meant to be together in this life. I was still lost in thought when a phone call startled me. Seeing it was Li Zhanwen, I wanted to hang up, but after much hesitation, I answered.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again!" Li Zhanwen said in an apologetic tone.

"It's ok!"

"I'm also very sorry about my mom! She's very stubborn and won't listen to anyone else's explanations. She only believes in her own ideas!"

"Have you ever thought about taking your mother to see a psychiatrist? This might be a disease, paranoia! Your mother always thinks that I'm hurting you! I'm seducing you! But I didn't do anything!"

"My sister also tried to persuade her to go, but she scolded her instead. Later, we tried every possible way to get a psychologist disguised as a teacher to come and talk to her, but she refused. We also tried many other methods, but nothing worked!"

"Alright! This Hegang is such a small place, and the thought of running into her so often in the future gives me a headache!"

"I'm sorry!" Li Zhanwen apologized again.

"This isn't your fault, you don't need to apologize! Hey! Did you call just to apologize?"

"Yes!"

"Since you feel sorry, please help me take care of my three children for the next three months!" I took the opportunity to make a request.

"Are you going on your honeymoon?"

"Correct!"

"Aren't the three children at the Shen family?"

"Shen Junhui and I are going on our honeymoon, and my parents-in-law are also going to the United States with my grandfather for vacation."

"Why don't you guys come together?"

"We're on our honeymoon, bro!"

"Oh! Sure! I'd love to! But will my two brothers object to being with me?"

"No, you're already familiar with them, and they love playing with you!"

"That's fine! I've never tried raising a child alone, so I can give it a try!"

I entrusted the child's concerns to Li Zhanwen. As for work matters, I had already made arrangements. My secretary just needed to follow the routine. If there was anything urgent, I told her to contact Xu Jing or Xiao Yuan. In short, they couldn't disturb me. Then Shen Junhui and I embarked on our honeymoon, but little did we know it would be a heartbreaking journey.
