Marriage Concerto (Small Thing Called Love) Chapter 58

Current mood: feeling sad for any translators who are/were translating works from Qidian.

Chapter 58: I'll make sure that you're nice and plump, my favorite little fatty.

Jiang Man paused for a moment and then asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Ding Meng responded, "Proving that I haven't had plastic surgery is rather simple. After all, I have way more pictures of myself than that person who released my picture does."

Jiang Man seemed to consider her idea for a moment and then spoke, "Alright then. You should still let me see it prior to posting it. Just send it directly to my work email."

"Okay." Ding Meng hung up the phone and looked over at Qiao Yichen who was right beside her. "Goudan, I want to take a trip home."

After speaking, she felt as though she had been rather ambiguous so she added, "My parents' home."

Qiao Yichen bowed his head and chuckled. He stood up after turning off his computer, "Let's go. I'll send you, my lady."

There was quite a bit of distance between the company and Ding Meng's parent's home. She took advantage of the time and browsed Weibo as she sat in the pa.s.senger seat. The promoter who had released her picture was publically known as a Weibo anti-fan of Ding Meng. Ding Meng noticed that Tang s.h.i.+ran and this account had followed each other.

Pursing her lips, she figured that this account was still somewhat useful. At the least, it could help her discriminate friend from foe.

She clicked open the comments below which had almost reached the ten thousand and took a few glances.

"This blogger's IQ is really touching. These aren't pictures of before and after plastic surgery. Aren't they pictures before and after ten years?"

"Hahahaha this is my first time seeing someone release photos that are ten years apart in a plastic surgery tabloid 2333"

"The appearance of this blogger has definitely not changed over the past ten years. He must be just as ugly as before :)"

"Anti fans need to use a little more effort. Your Xingyao daddy might not pay you for your performance this time~"

"Xingyao is really too nauseating. Isn't this all just because she switched companies and went to Guangchen? You guys are acting as if she didn't pay a penalty fee or something *bye* Now that Ding Meng's popular, you guys won't stop trying to bring her down. Anyone who signs with you guys is screwed *bye*"

"Have the comments been overtaken by Guangchen's supporters? Even though the time gap between the two pictures is rather large, her appearance has clearly changed a lot! Are you all blind?"

"Some people have probably never lost weight before so they don't know that people can actually become beautiful when they become skinny *doge*"

"This morning, Qiao dada said that Lemon Leader was a chubby little girl. This afternoon, there are already people releasing photos of her like this *bye* I wonder how many people are actually jealous of our Lemon Leader"

"Ding Meng's fans are pretty nauseating themselves. Does criticizing her mean that we're jealous of her? Only losers would comfort themselves by thinking like that *wink*"

"The only people who could release a picture of Lemon Leader in middle school are probably her cla.s.smates, right? This happened with her marriage certificate too… I've already made up a love triangle story in my mind *crying laugh*"

"A plastic surgery specialist is here to say that Ding Meng's facial features haven't been changed at all, okay? They've simply grown, that's all."

"Am I the only one who thinks that chubby Lemon Leader is also cute? That's right! My taste is just that unconventional :)"

After Ding Meng browsed for a while, Qiao Yichen parked the car below her home.

This was still the first time Qiao Yichen had paid a visit to Ding Meng's parent's home after getting married. He looked at the fruit stall downstairs and walked over to buy some fruits.

Ding Meng felt rather speechless, "It's not like we came to wish them a Happy New Year."

Qiao Yichen laughed and responded, "But it's still unacceptable to go up empty handed. It's so rare that I stop by."

Ding Meng blinked and looked at him, "My mom always comes downstairs to buy fruits. She'd recognize this store's bags."

Qiao Yichen, "…:

Buying some fruit from the shop downstairs did seem a little insincere. He pursed his lips and asked, "Should I drive to the supermarket to buy some more things?"

Ding Meng burst out in laughter, "I'm just teasing you. My mom will definitely enjoy eating anything that you buy." She pulled on Qiao Yichen's hand and they walked upstairs together.

Mama Ding didn't know that her daughter had been targeted by people on the internet yet again and was in the middle of watching TV at home. When she heard the door open, she turned around in confusion.

"Mom." As soon as Ding Meng heard the sound of the TV, she knew that her mom was definitely home so she called out towards the living room.

Upon hearing Ding Meng's voice, Mama Ding stood up immediately. When she saw Ding Meng and Qiao Yichen walk in together, she asked in confusion, "Why have the two of you suddenly stopped by?"

It was too early for dinner, but also too late for lunch.

Ding Meng responded, "I came back to find some things. I'll be leaving very soon.""

"Oh." When Mama Ding watched Ding Meng walk into Ding Meng's former bedroom, she called from behind, "What are you looking for?"

"Photo alb.u.ms." Ding Meng responded, "Are they still where they used to be? You didn't toss them, right?"

"Nope. Who would have the guts to throw away your things?"

While Ding Meng laughed ominously, Qiao Yichen placed down the fruits in his hand with embarra.s.sment. He spoke to Mama Ding, "We left in a hurry so all we brought was fruit purchased from downstairs."

Mama Ding responded, "That's fine, that's fine. Look at the tangerines you bought. You can tell with just a glance that they look sweeter than the ones that I buy."

Qiao Yichen, "…"

After a moment of silence, he spoke to Mama Ding, "Next time I'll ask my coworker to bring back the tangerines that his hometown is known for. They're very sweet."

Mama Ding laughed and responded, "Come over for a meal when you two have time. I'll be happy even if you come empty handed."

Qiao Yichen spoke, "Then I'll prepare the meal next time and cook for all of you to eat."

"Okay. I hear from Mengmeng that your cooking skill is very good. I still haven't had the chance to experience it yet."

While the mother-in-law and son-in-law were chatting happily, Ding Meng suddenly laughed from the bedroom, "Haha Goudan, guess what I found!"

Qiao Yichen walked over to take a look and discovered that Ding Meng was holding a math exam. On it, there was a very conspicuous and bright red 73% with Qiao Yichen's name written on the name line.

Qiao Yichen, "…"

He reached out his hand in an attempt to s.n.a.t.c.h the exam, but Ding Meng quickly drew her hand back and hid the exam behind her back, as if she had been already been prepared.

Qiao Yichen stared at her and narrowed his eyes, "How did you get my exam?"

"I don't remember either. Maybe you stuffed it into my backpack because you were too scared to bring it home for a signature."

Qiao Yichen, "…"

He had definitely never done anything like that before!

As he looked at Ding Meng's proud expression, Qiao Yichen raised an eyebrow, "What are you planning on doing?"

Ding Meng smiled widely at him and laughed mischievously, "Uploading it onto Weibo."

Qiao Yichen, "…"

"You wouldn't dare." After speaking, he tried to steal the paper again and Ding Meng laughed as she continued dodging. As the two wrestled with one another, they eventually ended up on the bed.

Mama Ding glanced inside and quietly helped them close the door.

She had heard a while ago that this young married couple was torturing dogs on Weibo daily with their PDA. She didn't expect that they would also flirt without any regard for her presence…

Inside the room, Ding Meng had already been subdued by Qiao Yichen. Qiao Yichen had trapped her beneath him and asked fiercely, "Are you going to hand it over?"

Ding Meng shook her head like a martyr, "I'd rather die than submit!"

After Qiao Yichen muttered under his breath for a moment, he suddenly smiled wickedly, "Wife, I know every sensitive spot on your body like the back of my hand."

Ding Meng, "…"

Stupid shameless Goudan!

She struggled under Qiao Yichen for a bit, but Qiao Yichen trapped her even more tightly. The most shameless part was that his hands actually started to roam all over her body. In the end, playing around like this actually got him into the mood and he couldn't help but kiss Ding Meng's lips.

Since Ding Meng was in the middle of taking a deep breath, Qiao Yichen's tongue easily slipped into her mouth. He trapped her with a pa.s.sionate kiss and wouldn't let her go. Ding Meng felt that if this continued, something would definitely happen so she lightly pushed Qiao Yichen and turned her head away to escape from him.

As a result, Qiao Yichen's kiss landed on her neck. He breathed lightly by her ear and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ding Meng's ears turned slightly red as she responded, "My mom is still outside…"

It seemed that Qiao Yichen agreed that this location was indeed rather improper because he got up soon after kissing her a couple more times.

Before Ding Meng had a chance to catch her breath, he quickly grabbed the math exam in her hands. Then, he folded it and stuffed it into his pockets.

Ding Meng, "…"

Hahahaha Goudan you're so stupid! I took a picture earlier!

Ding Meng wanted to put her hands on her hips and guffaw.

After she found the photo alb.u.m, she and Qiao Yichen departed. She flipped through the pages on the road back. Sure enough, there wasn't a single picture missing among those that Ding Meng's mother had taken of her while she was hospitalized.

Qiao Yichen frowned after catching a glimpse of the pictures, "You were that thin back then?"

"Yeah. I became thinner with every pa.s.sing day. My mom only let me take a break from school because she was so scared." Ding Meng still felt some regrets when she thought of what happened in the past.

Qiao Yichen didn't speak again. Instead, he simply concentrated on driving.

After returning to the company, he and Ding Meng went back to his office first. Ding Meng selected several pictures and used Qiao Yichen's computer to start composing a long Weibo post.

"Today I discovered a tabloid post on Weibo claiming that I've received plastic surgery. I wasn't originally planning on fighting back, but since the other party was so overbearing, don't blame me for seizing the day and taking action.

First off, I need to declare that I have not received plastic surgery. I haven't even gotten LASIK yet because I'm too afraid of the laser burning my cornea *crying laugh*. However, that picture of me in middle school is real. I really did look like this in middle school → [Photo]

Even though I was really chubby back then, I have always firmly believed that I was chubby in a very cute way
