Chapter 23 — To Change Him

　　Lunch was a bit stifling. Afterward, when the four returned to the company together, they were not surprised to see a few reporters hanging around the entrance. The reporters held up their cameras and launched into a picture-taking frenzy, but they finished and fled before Su Yanyi could open her mouth.

　　Su Yanyi and the rest watched as black lines slid down their foreheads.

　　Reporters nowadays sure were proficient. They'd even grasped the notion of guerrilla warfare, knowing how to shoot and then switch locations.

　　"Should I go deal with it?" Jiang Xiaobin asked. He was the only one suitable for the job since he was an a.s.sistant. He just didn't know if he would be able to catch up with the reporters.

　　"No." They'd disclosed their relations.h.i.+p already, so a few pictures were nothing to be afraid of. She confidently strode into the company. Qin Jiran hesitated for a second before quickening his pace so he could walk by her side.

　　However, there was still a tiny bit of distance between their bodies, making them look close and intimate when they were actually not.

　　Qin Jiran had decided to do this on his own initiative. Now that they had disclosed their relations.h.i.+p, he obviously couldn't act as distant and indifferent to her as he did before. Otherwise, the public would likely start to come up with all kinds of weird speculations. They might even bring up the possibility of divorce.

　　At the same time, he couldn't be too intimate. This was mainly for Su Yanyi's sake, as he didn't want to do anything that she would unkindly to. It might make her a.s.sume he was trying to reach for a yard after taking an inch.

　　As for the people inside of the company, they were a little surprised to see the couple appear together, but they had already gotten over it. Nonetheless, watching the husband-wife pair enter and exit the company still turned people green with jealousy.

　　In the wake of Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran's increased public interactions, more and more news about them came up on television, newspapers, and magazines. Mother Su worked on controlling the direction of the news, but she no longer suppressed the quant.i.ty.

　　As the matter of fact, she was fanning the flames instead. Before long, the pictures of her daughter and son-in-law standing together seemed to be everywhere. There were many heated debates on whether Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi's relations.h.i.+p was "the man is capable, and the woman is beautiful" or "the woman is beautiful, and the man is capable." However, that was the minority.

　　The ma.s.ses hadn't stopped discussing the couple's marriage yet. The topics that garnered the most discussion were "Who pursued who?" and "Are they happy together?" Qin Jiran's official webpage had long been flooded by messages from his fans.
