After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder Submissive, I Became Popular by Foraging on the Beach - Chapter 28

The two looked at each other awkwardly, or rather, it was mostly Shen Qiu who was awkward.

He looked at the thin door panel, unsure of its soundproofing.

So, Shen Qiu looked up, discreetly observing Lu Yidong’s expression.

Lu Yidong was amused by his little expression, and his heart felt much soothed.

He approached with long strides.

Shen Qiu gave an awkward smile.

“What are you afraid of?”

Shen Qiu felt inexplicably guilty: “Nothing…”

“Are you thinking what a pity it is that we can’t break up peacefully as planned?”

Lu Yidong stared intensely at Shen Qiu, slowing his speech.

Even in commercial negotiations involving billions, he had never felt so unconfident.

He really heard it!!!

Shen Qiu twiddled his fingers: “Not exactly… it was just a joke.”

Lu Yidong sat down by his bed, first feeling his forehead; the temperature was normal.

He sighed in relief.

Shen Qiu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, finally squeezing out something irrelevant: “You said you didn’t want to publicly announce it on a large scale before. Now, um, won’t it look bad?”

Lu Yidong smiled: “It’s fine. Before was before… Now is now.”

Shen Qiu somehow understood.

Now, their relationship was different.

“Are you still thinking about a peaceful breakup?”

Shen Qiu met his gaze frankly: “Are you still thinking about the two-year deadline?”

Lu Yidong’s lips curled slightly. He stroked his head: “Let’s change it to indefinite for now.”

Shen Qiu grinned foolishly.

After a while, he quieted down, subtly shifting twice until he was leaning against Lu Yidong.

He paused, then leaned completely onto Lu Yidong.

Lu Yidong didn’t say anything, just silently wrapped his arms around him.

He didn’t know when it started, but both of them had grown accustomed to the other’s presence.

It seemed everything was happening naturally.

“When did we meet the parents?” Shen Qiu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Lu Yidong was unusually tongue-tied: “At the banquet back then…”

Shen Qiu looked at him smugly.

Lu Yidong laughed, bowing his head in submission: “We haven’t formally met the parents.”

Shen Qiu had just seen Lu Yidong’s Weibo post when his sudden entrance interrupted him.

Shen Qiu suddenly asked curiously: “I wonder what’s happening on Weibo now?”

“You’ll know if you check online.”

He opened his phone and saw that Lu Fu had actually sent him a message.

“Uncle was secretly photographed by You Yilian when he visited the set last time. This really wasn’t me. I had no reason to do such a thing. I never wanted to hurt you…”

A bunch of rambling words clarifying his innocence and constantly trying to appease Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu was a little confused and directly showed it to Lu Yidong.

Lu Yidong chuckled: “No need to mind him. He’s just desperate, and he won’t be able to cause trouble for long.”

Shen Qiu nodded and didn’t ask further.

Anyway, in the original novel, Lu Yidong was able to deal with Lu Fu. Now, there was even less to worry about.

Lu Fu still wanted to beg him for mercy?

How ridiculous.

A scumbag like him deserved it!

Shen Qiu deleted and blocked the number, then logged into Weibo.

It took a long time to load, and he guessed Weibo might have crashed, but thankfully the server was holding up.

It was just that an overwhelming amount of information flooded in, making the home page extremely slow.

The first things to appear were a bunch of Yellow V major companies partnering with small companies for a repost and lucky draw.

The usually aloof official accounts were as active as the leaders of a shipping community today.

Sheng Hao Group: Another day of tearing up over beautiful love [heart] Repost and send well wishes. We’ll draw ten people to receive the latest X mobile phone.

Sheng Jia Technology Co., Ltd.: Loudly confessing to the boss’s wife!!! Finally, someone has claimed our diamond bachelor! Drawing five people to receive a computer~

Sheng Yun New Energy: Simply put, Shen Qiu is also our boss’s wife~ Who is so blind?

Different companies from different fields, but they all generously offered blessings, reposts, and lucky draws in a one-stop service.

The front-row comments were instantly full.

[Shen Qiu and Boss Lu, a happy couple for a hundred years! (Draw me, draw me)]

[Are you there? Draw a new energy car?]

Netizens actively participated in the lucky draw while being dumbfounded as more and more companies appeared.

[Shocked, my Qiu… I don’t know what to say. Next person’s turn.]

[I can’t either. Third Brother, you go.]

[Holy cow, that’s the Lu Group! That, that’s the Lu Group! Do you know how big the Lu Group is? Look at the companies sending blessings, they cover almost every industry, especially those profitable ones like finance and technology!]

[Actually, it’s more than that… I’m a finance major. The Lu Group consistently dominates our exam questions. They also have many highly visible subsidiaries, like S Video, Kuaishou Photography, PP Music, and so on.]

[I’m numb. I’ve reposted everything. I’ll say it again! Shen Qiu and Boss Lu are real!!! Everyone ship the Autumn-Winter couple! (This is definitely not to increase my chances of winning)]

Just as everyone was reposting and entering the lucky draw, Lu Yidong, riding the wave of popularity, reposted a Weibo from the Sheng Hao Group.

“It is reported that the recent insults and slanderous comments against Mr. Shen Qiu online have seriously damaged the reputation of Mr. Shen Qiu and our company, and are suspected of infringing upon Mr. Shen Qiu’s right to reputation… The internet is not a lawless place. We urge all netizens to be rational online.”

It was a strongly worded lawyer’s letter!

Attached was a list of names, with over a hundred bloggers being sued. The main ones were long-standing pests in the entertainment industry who constantly stirred up public opinion.

[Good! So satisfying! As expected of the Lu Group. They investigated and found all the rumor-mongers so quickly.]

[LOL. Look at those who posted apology videos at lightning speed. It proves that your father is still your father.]

[The rich young master anonymously entered the entertainment industry but was slandered. The dominant husband, in a fit of anger, rectified the entertainment industry’s atmosphere…]

[Damn it! I’m living for this! Speak more if you have something to say! Give me the pen, write fast!]

[Shen Qiu and Boss Lu are truly… I wouldn’t even dare to write this in a novel! Jinjiang’s CEO novel has a face now!]

[Anti-fans, are you there? Who’s shamelessly chasing whom? Who’s the sugar daddy? Who’s the fake marriage? You only dare to talk nonsense based on pictures.]

[Who’s in a fake marriage that can mobilize the entire company to send blessings? Who’s in a fake marriage that can get Boss Lu’s full support!]

[I’m getting jealous just talking about it…]

Anti-fans would never dare to go against the Lu Group. This wasn’t just an ordinary celebrity casually issuing a lawyer’s letter.

As soon as the Lu Group’s lawyer’s letter came out, they practically saw the most famous and powerful legal team in the capital city flashing their devilish smiles at them.

Some witty passersby even photoshopped the heads of famous lawyers into memes.

A group of people stood with crossed arms, looking scornfully around, with large words at the top: “Luxury Legal Team, Offering You a Lifetime Trip to Jail.”

Only the sour critics were still secretly envious.

[Shen Qiu is just lucky, right? He climbed the social ladder and became a phoenix. Now he’s married into a powerful family.]

[I wonder if he can handle the rules of a wealthy family.]

[The sourness from upstairs is unbearable.]

[Holy cow! Shen Qiu’s family background wasn’t bad to begin with. Didn’t you guys know? Although the Shen family is not as powerful as the Lu Group, they are not an ordinary family either. They are quite prominent in the capital city.]

[Really? Then they are a powerful combination, a perfect match? It’s even more shippable!!!]

[Yes, look at the companies that reposted and offered lucky draws today. Several companies that are not part of the Lu Group are Shen Qiu’s family… (maternal side)]

[I’m so jealous! So, both sets of parents approve and sent their blessings. Only the anti-fans are talking nonsense and trying to disrupt their lives by exposing them.]

However, the Autumn-Winter couple, envied by the entire internet and believed to have the approval of both families, would only formally meet the parents for the first time a few days later.
