172: Don't be too happy too soon.

The battle cry of a fan Girl was perhaps the most powerful sonic attack Chen Qiu had ever encountered in his life.

Although he was in an extremely noisy crowd, the sudden burst of screaming right next to his ear still brought Chen Qiu a piercing pain that felt like it was puncturing his eardrums.

He frowned and leaned back, looking at Liu Yue who was taking photos with her Fruit Phone. Her words about her “true husband” left him completely stunned.

The one on stage is your true husband?

Does Feng Ye, who you got engaged to today, know about this?

Chen Qiu subconsciously looked toward Feng Ye, who had just gotten engaged but was already relegated to the status of “fake husband.”

He noticed that the latter's expression was also darkening.

However, upon noticing Chen Qiu's gaze, he immediately tried to cover his tracks.

"I quite like this artist too. I watched his solo LIVE performance with Yueyue before. He has talent."

Chen Qiu gave him a look mixed with sympathy and pity.

He only wanted to offer him a single phrase.

The engagement wine is uncorked for you, but don't celebrate too soon... Seeming to sense Chen Qiu's sympathetic gaze, Feng Ye forced himself to speak again.

"Yueyue was just shouting for fun..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Yue's sharp shriek came from beside them.

"Ahhh! Husband, look at me!"

Feng Ye was instantly choked!

Seeing that his expression was becoming unbearable, Chen Qiu offered a line to save face for him.

"Fan Girls are just like this."

"It's good that you understand."

Feng Ye's expression finally eased up quite a bit.

But soon after, he felt that something wasn't right.

What did he mean by "Fan Girls are just like this"?

It made his wife Liu Yue seem equivalent to those brainless XXN... Feng Ye opened his mouth but couldn't think of anything to refute him.

The performance on stage continued.

Chen Qiu took out his phone and checked the music festival lineup.

The first artist to perform was named Wu Tao, a new generation singer, dancer, and rapper who debuted through a talent show last year.

It looked like he was following Brother Kun's old path.

His current popularity wasn't high; domestically, he could only be considered outside the third tier.

The only thing that surprised Chen Qiu was that this popular young artist's management company was actually Dongmeng Media!

It seemed he was one of the artists Dongmeng Media had been heavily promoting over the past two years?

However, the fans didn't seem to appreciate it.

In the comment section below the music festival lineup webpage, many iTao criticized Dongmeng.

They felt that Dongmeng Media's resources were terrible, calling it a purely roadside company unworthy of their best Older Brother!

Chen Qiu shook his head. This was standard rhetoric within the fan circle.

Just as he was about to put away his phone, he noticed that the performer on stage had changed.

Liu Yue and Ding Qiao also quieted down, holding their phones and constantly swiping the screen with their long, manicured fingers.

Chen Qiu glanced over and vaguely recognized the editing notes page of 'A certain book'.

Seeing how impatient Liu Yue looked, he wondered if her 'A certain book' post included any pictures of her fake husband, Feng Ye.

After a while, the two seemed to have finished posting on 'A certain book'. Liu Yue turned to look at Chen Qiu, returning to their previous topic.

"Chen Qiu, which entertainment company did you say you had shares in just now?"

"Qingmang Era."

Chen Qiu didn't try to hide it.

When Liu Yue and Ding Qiao heard this, their eyes immediately widened.

"Qingmang Era?!"

As fan Girls, how could they not know about the company that once led the trend for popular artists in the country?

"Do you know Sun Ci?"

"I used to really love him!"

Seeing Liu Yue's excited appearance, Chen Qiu was slightly taken aback.

This truly hit his knowledge blind spot!

He wasn't a fan, so he really wasn't familiar with that name.

The only impression he had of the name was seeing it when he reviewed the full roster after taking over Qingmang Era from the system.

Was he an outdated popular star?

"I have a slight impression."

Seeing Chen Qiu's slight hesitation, suspicion immediately surfaced in the eyes of Liu Yue and Ding Qiao.

"Are you really a shareholder of Qingmang Era?"

Ding Qiao stared at Chen Qiu and questioned him bluntly.

"What kind of shareholder isn't even familiar with their own artists!"

Chen Qiu smiled calmly.

Before he could speak, Liu Yue pulled Ding Qiao aside and said.

"Alright, he really did bring us through the special access channel!"

"Most people can't do that. Your blind date is actually quite impressive."

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow.

Ding Qiao's best friend seemed to be deliberately trying to set up his blind date with Ding Qiao!

Feng Ye, standing nearby, leaned over and asked curiously.

"Brother, do you know the AN Girl Group?"

As the company's only current face, Chen Qiu certainly knew them.

"Seriously?"

Feng Ye widened his eyes and spoke to Chen Qiu in an excited whisper.

"Can you help me get their autographs?"

"My favorite is the leader, Captain of AN Girl Group. Those legs are just incredible!"

The moment he finished speaking, Liu Yue's cold voice drifted over.

"Feng Ye, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm standing right here. Do you have any shame?"

Ding Qiao looked at him with utter disdain and said.

"You and Yueyue just got engaged today!"

"Do you even consider her your fiancée?"

Hearing this, Feng Ye moved his mouth but made no sound.

This blatant double standard left him speechless.

He had just tried to explain things for Liu Yue when she shouted about her true husband... But Feng Ye knew even better that if he refuted the two women now, it would only anger them more.

Therefore, he could only let out a frustrated, awkward laugh.

"Yueyue, don't be angry. I was just joking."

Liu Yue glared coldly at Feng Ye.

"Don't let me hear you say anything like that again. It's disgusting!"

"Mhm, I'll be careful."

Only after seeing Feng Ye's submissive demeanor did Liu Yue reluctantly nod.

Chen Qiu, standing on the side, was slightly dumbfounded.

Holy cow!

This is way too submissive!

Chen Qiu couldn't understand.

Brother, did she catch you committing murder?

Especially when Ding Qiao chimed in at that moment.

"Feng Ye, you definitely need to buy Yueyue a handbag today to compensate her!"
