The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 36
Daughter-in-law
Wen Yan hadn’t been to school for a week. As soon as he entered the classroom, he was dragged away by the girls in his class for a round of teasing. They exaggeratedly remarked that his face looked even thinner, asking where he had been and if he knew about the new assignments for the week.
Wen Yan certainly couldn’t say that he had been to the realm of supernatural beings. He vaguely mentioned going abroad, took out some small gifts he had bought, and shared them around. Afterward, he sat down in his seat.
Li Zheng had saved a seat for him. Upon seeing him, instead of warmly rushing over, he scrutinized him seriously, pulling him over and inspecting him from head to toe, resembling a headteacher checking for forbidden items.
“What are you doing?” Wen Yan was confused.
After confirming that he was unharmed, Li Zheng let him sit down and created a soundproof barrier around them before questioning, “Why didn’t you tell me about being kidnapped?”
Wen Yan was surprised. He hadn’t told Li Zheng about being kidnapped, nor had he informed his parents—not because he intended to keep it a secret, but simply because he didn’t want them to worry.
However, since Li Zheng asked, he didn’t deny it. “Yes, it happened, but it wasn’t serious. Rong Xiao came to rescue me quickly. How did you know?”
Li Zheng gave him a glance and took out his phone, opening a page and handing it to him. “Do you think only humans have news websites? There are plenty of gossip magazines in the supernatural world.”
Wen Yan took the phone and saw the headline: “Delicate Human Suddenly Kidnapped; Mr. Rong Furious!”
The subheading read: “Unveiling the Secret Conspiracy of the Zhuyan Clan.”
It had a sensational touch to it.
Wen Yan: “…”
Indeed, paparazzi around the world, whether human or supernatural, were equally skilled at creating sensational headlines.
Upon closer inspection, the content of this tabloid was not very accurate. It briefly mentioned that he was kidnapped, and Rong Xiao came to the rescue, while the mastermind of the Zhuyan Clan was arrested. The case only occupied one-tenth of the report. The remaining ninety percent speculated on his extraordinary charm that could mesmerize Rong Xiao.
Even Wen Yan felt a bit embarrassed by those adjectives.
“Your supernatural world’s paparazzi are truly skilled at making things up. They even claimed that Zhu Yun was interested in me and wanted to snatch me away,” Wen Yan touched his arm, feeling a layer of goosebumps, “Nonsense, the Zhuyan Clan wanted my life.”
Li Zheng also didn’t believe the report; it was too unreliable. Still, he insisted on Wen Yan explaining the situation, as kidnapping was not a trivial matter.
Wen Yan didn’t hide anything from him and casually recounted the whole incident, adding a bit of artistic flair to the part where he got injured, describing it as a minor flesh wound.
However, Li Zheng was still taken aback and looked a bit pale. Holding his hand, he earnestly advised, “You should stay indoors more in the future. Even such things happen right under Mr. Rong’s nose.”
Wen Yan nodded without commenting.
But since Wen Yan returned unscathed and Li Zheng’s concerns were expressed, he couldn’t help but gossip.
He had noticed the bracelet on Wen Yan’s hand, a powerful magical item. Playfully, he nudged his arm and teased, “Who gave you the bracelet?”
Wen Yan smiled and glanced at him. “Rong Xiao, who else could it be?”
Without waiting for Li Zheng to ask, he used his fingers to hook the delicate silver chain around his neck, revealing a platinum diamond ring that dangled from it.
“Guess who gave me this?” he asked.
Li Zheng stared at him in disbelief.
Although he knew that Wen Yan and Rong Xiao were engaged, this development was too rapid.
This was a ring, indicating a proposal, right???
Wen Yan chuckled, sliding the ring back into place. He brushed the collar of his shirt and casually said, “Being too charming, nothing I can do. Rong Xiao cried and begged me to marry him.”
Li Zheng was speechless. “You still need to have some face…”
Nevertheless, he continued to look at Wen Yan with amazement.
He hadn’t expected his friend to win over Rong Xiao so quickly—an almost miraculous achievement for a human.
He had secretly wondered how he would console Wen Yan if things didn’t work out. Who would have thought that humans could have dreams and, if they were fortunate, see them come true?
After some contemplation, Li Zheng opened his phone and showed Wen Yan the supernatural world’s gossip forum. “Have you seen this post before? I thought it was just baseless rumors.”
Wen Yan curiously took a look and found that the thread was titled, “Did Rong Xiao Cancel the Engagement Today?”
The posts inside were filled with various supernatural beings expressing disbelief, as if it were a massive live broadcast of fans leaving a fandom.
Wen Yan: “…”
“Pfft!” He rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront them, “Who cursed us to get separated!”
Li Zheng stopped him. “Don’t get agitated. Look at the last page.”
Wen Yan reluctantly put down his sleeves and patiently flipped through the pages.
On the last page, post number 1457 read:
“Everyone, disperse. Stop checking in. According to the latest news, the little human has successfully taken over. The political marriage has turned into true love. Personally sealed by Mr. Rong.”
Below were a few gifs, from different angles, only showing Rong Xiao cradling a person in his arms. The figure was slender, with delicate wrists, but the face couldn’t be seen clearly. However, Wen Yan could tell at a glance that it was himself.
After these pictures came out, the comments below were full of wailing, expressing disbelief. It was like a large-scale scene of fans abandoning their idol.
Meanwhile, Wen Yan was looking at it with great satisfaction.
Awesome.
He handed the phone back to Li Zheng. “Although I don’t know who this anonymous hero is, I like him.”
Wen Yan finished a day of classes at school, then completed the homework he missed last week.
But that day, he didn’t go back to Rong Xiao; instead, he went back to his own home.
After spending a week at Shadow Mountain and experiencing life and death, he urgently needed to go back and indulge in some pampering from his parents and enjoy the warmth of family.
He had forgotten to tell Rong Xiao about it and only realized it on the way back. He called Rong Xiao to let him know, making a certain Mr. Rong feel neglected.
But he couldn’t stop Wen Yan from visiting his parents; he could only ask indirectly, “How many days will you be gone?”
Wen Yan hadn’t thought about it yet. “Probably a few days. I haven’t been back for a while, and my parents must miss me.”
Rong Xiao turned a page of the book, frowned deeply, but still maintained his composure. He instructed, “Be safe and come back soon.”
While talking, Wen Yan had already arrived home. He saw his parents waiting at the door and his heart rushed over. Ignoring what Rong Xiao was saying, he casually said something and hung up the phone, running towards his parents.
Rong Xiao’s farewell hadn’t been completed yet, and the phone was already disconnected.
Rong Xiao: “…”
This should be the first time he had been hung up on.
Wen Yan, carrying a small bag, got off the car. Without waiting for a few steps, Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang greeted him. Although it had only been half a month since they last met, they always felt anxious.
“Are you happy with your trip?” Qiao Shan held Wen Yan’s hand, leading him back to the house. The dining table was already set with food, waiting for Wen Yan to return.
Wen Yan drank a cup of osmanthus soup as soon as he entered the room.
Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang had no channels for news from the supernatural world, and they didn’t know anything. Wen Yan picked out interesting things to talk about, such as little phoenixes, parades, and gatherings, showing the souvenirs he bought one by one.
His parents were reassured, thinking that their son had the best time traveling.They kept serving him dishes.
After Wen Yan was full, lying on the chair, Qiao Shan flicked his forehead, teasing him like a little piglet.
But seeing Wen Yan looking well-fed, they knew he had been doing well recently. Qiao Shan sipped lotus seed soup and casually asked, “How is it going with Mr. Rong? I hope you are not causing trouble for him.”
Wen Yan was lying down, and at these words, his eyes playfully rolled around.
Seeing his father sitting on the sofa, and the whole family gathered in the living room, Wen Yan joyfully announced, “Mom, Dad, I have good news to share with you. You’re really going to have a daughter-in-law this time!”
Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang both trembled.
