The Movie Queen Confesses to Me on Weibo Everyday - Chapter 14

Ruan Xingchen’s public confession on Weibo kept stirring up huge attention. Both her fans—the “stars”—and random onlookers were curious about Lu Qiyue.

Who exactly was this Lu Qiyue? What did she look like? What kind of charm did she have that made Ruan Xingchen, a top actress, risk her entire career just to say she loved her?

So when they bumped into each other at the supermarket, and people saw Ruan Xingchen protectively holding a woman in her arms, those who realized the situation instantly got excited.

They must be engaged. Lu Qiyue had to be the “brother-in-law.”

It was the second time someone called Lu Qiyue “brother-in-law” after Song Yang, and she was momentarily stunned.

Realizing what had just happened, she quickly tried to push Ruan Xingchen away, acting like she wanted to distance herself from her.

But Ruan Xingchen wasn’t about to let Lu Qiyue have her way.

She tightened her hold on Lu Qiyue’s hand and whispered in a cool voice by her ear, Isn’t it a bit late to start distancing yourself now?

“Yueyue, from now on, your name, Lu Qiyue, will always be right next to mine—Ruan Xingchen’s. Come on, say hi to everyone.” Ruan Xingchen’s tone was soft and coaxing.

Biting her lip, Lu Qiyue realized she’d been backed into a corner with no way out.

Say hi to Ruan Xingchen’s fans… but if she greeted them, how was she supposed to explain her relationship with Ruan Xingchen?

Friends? Or… lovers?

Lu Qiyue never wanted to be just friends with Ruan Xingchen. To her, two people who truly loved each other could never be just friends. But lovers… were they?

Seeing Lu Qiyue hesitate, a flash of disappointment flickered deep in Ruan Xingchen’s eyes but vanished so quickly it almost seemed like an illusion.

She quickly replaced it with a doting smile and apologized to the fans and onlookers, “She’s a little shy.”

The fans and bystanders instantly laughed in understanding, then turned their attention to Ruan Xingchen.

“Sis Chen, since the young lady’s too shy to answer, can you answer for her?”

“Is she the brother-in-law?”

Ruan Xingchen smiled, clearly tempted to say “yes” without a second thought. But since Lu Qiyue hadn’t officially agreed yet, she couldn’t say that outright.

So she answered, “In the future, yes. Right now… we’re still working on it.”

Though not a definite answer, Ruan Xingchen’s words confirmed that the woman in her arms was indeed the one she confessed to on Weibo.

The fans immediately got excited.

After excitement came fierce determination.

The young lady hadn’t agreed to Sis Chen’s confession yet? That wouldn’t do.

The fans had to help secure Sis Chen’s happiness.

“Miss, please agree to be with our Sis Chen! She’s so caring.”

“Miss, our Sis Chen can run both the living room and kitchen…”

“Sis Chen is so gentle and thoughtful…”

“And Sis Chen makes good money…”

“Being with Sis Chen, the bride price will definitely be big…”

“As long as you marry her, Sis Chen will even prepare the dowry herself…”

Listening to their increasingly off-topic suggestions, Ruan Xingchen could only laugh and shake her head.

She looked down at Lu Qiyue, who was smiling faintly too, and said, “See? My fans are so eager to matchmake for us. How about it… will you say yes?”

Before Lu Qiyue could answer, Zhang Ye arrived personally with bodyguards.

Seeing Ruan Xingchen surrounded by fans, he wasn’t flustered at all. Instead, he chatted casually with the fans and rolled his eyes in silent exasperation.

His artist stayed calm, but he almost got a heart attack as her manager.

“Please make way, I’m Sis Chen’s manager.” Pushing through the crowd, Zhang Ye finally reached Ruan Xingchen, replacing the few fans who had been guarding her.

As soon as Zhang Ye appeared, the fans knew Sis Chen was about to leave.

Full of reluctance, they shouted to Ruan Xingchen and Lu Qiyue, “Sis Chen, you two must be happy!”

“Miss, our Sis Chen is really a great person. Once you miss this chance, there won’t be another.”

“Sis Chen, if Miss agrees to your confession, you must tell us on Weibo!”

“Sis Chen, the stars will always love you!”

Ruan Xingchen had always been very indulgent with her fans. She nodded earnestly and promised, “I definitely will.”

After Ruan Xingchen and Lu Qiyue left, the topic of Ruan Xingchen taking her confessed love grocery shopping exploded on Weibo. One post after another quickly reached the trending headlines.

In the car, Zhang Ye checked the online buzz and looked at Ruan Xingchen with a mix of disbelief and admiration, giving her a thumbs-up.

“Going grocery shopping and making it to the headlines? Ruan Xingchen, you’re amazing.”

Then Zhang Ye stopped paying attention to her and turned his focus to Lu Qiyue, extending a friendly hand.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Zhang Ye, Xingchen’s manager. First time meeting you—I hope I didn’t scare you.”

Honestly, Lu Qiyue had indeed been a little scared earlier.

Zhang Ye had come into the car looking serious, staring at his tablet, then the first thing he said to Ruan Xingchen sounded sharp and sarcastic, almost chilling the warmth Lu Qiyue had just regained after the fans’ excitement.

She nearly thought Ruan Xingchen’s manager didn’t like her.

But now, seeing Zhang Ye’s kind eyes, Lu Qiyue realized she’d misunderstood.

“Hello, I’m Lu Qiyue.” She politely reached out her hand to shake, but was cut off halfway.

Ruan Xingchen quickly wrapped Lu Qiyue’s hand tightly in hers, looking at Zhang Ye with a protective glare.

“If you want to talk, just talk. Why shake hands?”

Zhang Ye was speechless. “That’s basic etiquette, you know?”

“Ruan Xingchen, when did I find out you’re such a jealous one?”

Ruan Xingchen didn’t deny it, letting Zhang Ye tease her. Anyway, no way was she letting Lu Qiyue’s hand go.

“But you have good taste—Miss Lu is even more beautiful in person than in photos.” Zhang Ye’s eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Qiyue. If Ruan Xingchen wasn’t guarding her so closely, he’d try to sign her as one of his artists.

Lu Qiyue had been complimented on her looks many times since she was young, and she always stayed calm.

But this time, just one compliment from Ruan Xingchen’s manager made her feel her cheeks burning hotter and hotter.

Was it because the compliment came from a friend of Ruan Xingchen? she wondered silently.

“Th-thank you,” Lu Qiyue said quietly, blushing.

Meanwhile, Ruan Xingchen was beaming proudly, smugly lifting her chin to claim, “Beautiful? That’s mine!”

Having been shown off like that, Zhang Ye laughed in disbelief and gave Ruan Xingchen a teasing look.

“So, did your plan of bringing her grocery shopping… work?”
