Chapter 658 - 2: Marriage Announcement Breaks the Internet!!!
[If they really officially announce it themselves I can already picture Weibo’s servers collapsing lol. But honestly, everyone wants to see them make it official. It’s just probably not gonna happen.][Last time that Old Madam Quan specifically posted a video on Weibo to explain her grandson’s relationship with that Gu Family chairwoman, even said they were getting married, so how come there isn’t the slightest movement over in Yanjing?]
["Beijing Circle young master x businesswoman boss lady love story" sounds all tall and fancy, but if we’re being real it’s just a commercial-political arranged marriage. And yet everyone’s blown it up into some kind of god-tier romance, it’s hilarious. They look lovey-dovey on the surface while actually each doing their own thing behind the scenes.]
[Their statuses are actually still a whole class apart. That one from the Gu Family has already pulled off a class leap.]
[They were never all that well matched to begin with, especially in terms of status. Apart from their faces being brainlessly shipped by netizens.]
[Love in real life is all fake, unless it’s 2D.]
[I don’t really get all that status and class stuff, but a looks-based CP I will absolutely ship. At least now I have something to project into when I read novels. The male lead has Chi Yu’s face, the female lead has Gu Yuan’s face—top-tier eye-candy CP benefits.]
[As a passerby fan, when Chi Yu was getting smeared a while back I already felt really sorry for him. After his relationship with President Gu got exposed I actually thought it was pretty nice. Don’t make everything so realistic and cold; we can also imagine that Chi Yu really does love President Gu a lot.]
[Hand up to speak! I am still eating up this "Beijing Circle young master x business queen" love story. Whether they need to post on Weibo or not, what’s it got to do with you? Does every single detail of their relationship have to be posted on Weibo for your entertainment? Ridiculous.]
After Chi Yu’s "log in to Weibo" search tag got juiced by netizens’ enthusiasm, it had originally been at the tail end but quickly climbed up a few spots.
But it was still just some "logged into Weibo" hype; in the end it wasn’t going to shoot up that high.
Just when netizens thought that after a few comments the buzz would die down really fast—
Everyone figured Chi Yu probably really had just come on Weibo to post an ad or something, or announce a new drama, and that the heat would surge again in a bit. It’s just that... waiting for an official announcement? Don’t even think about it. Unless it’s really their wedding day, the day the whole Weibo system crashes.
But that day is definitely still a long way off.
It’s not happening anytime soon.
Just as netizens were thinking this, Chi Yu’s fans were thinking the same thing, continuing to guess what he’d post later—or... whether he’d just log in and not post anything at all again.
Everyone waited and waited.
Finally, at exactly 17:20.
Chi Yu posted a Weibo.
At first netizens didn’t realize it was a precisely timed post.
They just saw the new Weibo Chi Yu posted. A quick glance showed it wasn’t an ad, and fans immediately relaxed—then it must be some daily-life share.
Except after actually reading Chi Yu’s post, the fans exploded!
Chi Yu V: [Shhh, it took ages to coax her to sleep _JPG_]
No sweet nothings, no official-announcement copy, just one short sentence: Shhh, it took ages to coax her to sleep.
The attached JPGs were two photos.
Opening the first one, what first came into view was a slightly blurry profile of a woman; she was asleep, pillowed in a man’s arms, his arm wrapped around her as she slept.
You couldn’t tell where the photo was taken; the lighting was a bit dim, and the woman’s side profile was a bit blurry too. If netizens and fans hadn’t watched Desired Ecology a while back, there’s no way they’d recognize who the woman in the photo was right away.
But after watching Desired Ecology, netizens recognized her in one second: the woman in the photo was President Gu.
The man in the photo was Chi Yu.
The second picture was the cover of a document. The parts that needed to be blocked out were blocked, but all the English that didn’t need covering was crystal clear.
The moment the Weibo went up, the whole site blew up!
[It’s official! It’s official! It’s official!]
[Is this real? The CP I ship actually got married?? I can’t even believe my own eyes!]
[Chi Yu actually posted a photo of President Gu—those people saying they’re just a loveless commercial-political marriage, how’s that face feel now?]
[This feels like a dream, they didn’t even warm us up with a single teaser, just straight-up announced like that!]
[...I am SHOOK!!! We were literally just talking about when Chi Yu would ever make it official and whether we’d really have to wait for the wedding. By the way, did he see the netizens’ comments and deliberately post this photo to shut down all the speculation?]
