He Sold My Designs to the Chairman, So I Married the Chairman novel · Chapter 12 of 24

Chapter 12: Meng's Leak

By morning the feed said Lan Yichen had married the Chairman for money.

Yichen read it in bed with the sheet round his hips and the phone propped on his knee.

Forty thousand posts, and most of them were the same photograph.

It was the registry stamp, dated the morning after the awards, circled in red.

Under it somebody had written, "Fourteen hours. Who sells a heart in fourteen hours?"

The second most shared thing was a livestream.

Fang Zhiyuan sat in the camel coat in a dim room, with wet eyes and a cup of tea, speaking to nine hundred thousand people.

"I don't blame him," he said, in the soft voice. "He's confused, and somebody powerful has taken advantage of that. I only want him to know that I'm waiting. The work belongs to both of us."

Yichen watched it to the end.

His hands were quite steady.

"Meng," Weicheng said from the doorway.

He was dressed already, his tie knotted, his face the face of the man on the magazine covers.

"The registry date came from inside the tower. Pei is tracing it."

"It doesn't matter."

"It matters to me."

"Come here," Yichen said.

Weicheng came, and stood by the bed.

Yichen took the phone out of his hand and set it face down on the sheet.
