I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Lin Ruoyun obviously did not expect Ye Qingning to answer like this. She was stunned for a moment, and then carefully observed Ye Qingning's expression, trying to find the truth and falsehood.

Lin Ruoyun's eyes showed complex emotions, including surprise and deep uncertainty. "You have a boyfriend? Is this true? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Ye Qingning realized that her "lie" had been told and could only continue.

"Yes, Auntie, it happened recently. We are all busy and haven't had time to tell everyone yet." She tried her best to sound calm and natural, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Lin Ruoyun's eyes became sharper, and her gaze scanned back and forth on Ye Qingning's face like a searchlight, as if she wanted to find the truth from her expression.

Ye Qingning felt an unprecedented pressure, her heartbeat accelerated and her palms began to sweat.

Under Lin Ruoyun's almost penetrating gaze, Ye Qingning felt that every little move she made was like being judged.

"Auntie, actually..." Ye Qingning's voice was slightly trembling. She knew that she could no longer maintain this lie, but she was unwilling to make the situation more embarrassing.

She bit her lip and thought, "Actually, my boyfriend is... is Yan Zeqing."

Faced with Lin Ruoyun's disbelief, Ye Qingning's anxiety and tension reached its peak.

She knew that with her own words alone, it would be difficult for Lin Ruoyun to completely believe that she already had a boyfriend, especially on such a sensitive topic. She knew that she had to provide some more concrete "evidence" to support her claims.

At this critical moment, Ye Qingning suddenly thought of something.

She remembered a photo taken by chance when she and Yan Zeqing attended a friend's party not long ago.

In that photo, she and Yan Zeqing stood very close to each other, smiling naturally, and they looked like a pair of lovers.

Although it is just a manifestation of friendship, in this case, it may have an unexpected effect.

Ye Qingning quickly took out her mobile phone from her handbag and found the photo.

She gently turned the phone screen to Lin Ruoyun, "Auntie, this is a photo that Yan Zeqing and I took at a friend's party not long ago."

Lin Ruoyun took Ye Qingning's cell phone, and the sharpness in her eyes was gradually replaced by surprise.

She carefully observed the two people in the photo, the expressions on their faces were complicated and difficult to distinguish. "Is this the boyfriend you're talking about, Yan Zeqing?" Her voice was a bit unbelievable, as if she was confirming a fact that surprised her.

Ye Qingning nodded, trying to add a hint of firmness to her tone, "Yes, Auntie. We have been together for some time." Although her voice tried to remain calm, her eyes inevitably revealed a trace of nervousness and expectation. Lin Ruoyun could accept this sudden "fact".

Lin Ruoyun's eyes stayed on the photo for a while, then slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Qingning.

Her eyes revealed a thoughtful understanding, "Qing Ning, if you are really together with Yan Zeqing, as an elder, I naturally hope that you can be happy. But you know, Yan Zeqing is a member of the entertainment industry. A popular niche student, such a relationship..." Ye Qingning's heart tightened, and she knew the implication of Lin Ruoyun's unfinished words.

In Lin Ruoyun's eyes, the world of the entertainment industry is always full of uncertainty, and this worry is also out of her protection.

Ye Qingning bit her lip gently, but her heart was in confusion because she knew that what she said was not the truth.

"Auntie, I know what you are worried about. But please believe that the relationship between Yan Zeqing and I is based on mutual understanding and respect." Ye Qingning's tone tried to show a sense of maturity and confidence, Although her heart was actually full of uneasiness.

Lin Ruoyun glanced at Ye Qingning deeply, as if he wanted to see more from her eyes.

Finally, she sighed softly, with a kind of helplessness in her tone, "Qing Ning, you are a smart girl, I believe in your choice. But..." She paused, and her eyes suddenly became firm, "If you and Yan Zeqing really won't make it to the end, I still hope you and Jingchuan will be together."

"Auntie, I'm really grateful for your concern and love for me all the time." Ye Qingning took a deep breath, her voice was gentle but firm, with an unprecedented determination, "Our relationship, It is not a momentary impulse, but a carefully considered choice. I believe that our relationship is strong enough to withstand the test of time and difficulties."

A trace of complicated emotions flashed through Lin Ruoyun's eyes. She listened to Ye Qingning's words silently, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in her heart.

She knew that Ye Qingning had made up her mind, and her expectations might just be extravagant hopes. "Qing Ning, since you are so determined, I can only respect your choice. But remember, no matter what happens in the future, you will always have a home with me."

At this moment, Ye Qingning's heart was filled with gratitude.

Lin Ruoyun's words were like a warm beacon, illuminating the confusion in her heart. "Thank you Auntie, your understanding and support means a lot to me."

Afterwards, Lin Ruoyun sighed softly, as if regretting that he failed to convince Ye Qingning.

But soon, her tone became relaxed, "Having said that, I still hope to have the opportunity to meet Yan Zeqing. How about this, find a time for you to come to our house for dinner together. I think, as an elder, I also You should get to know your boyfriend well."

Ye Qingning was caught off guard by Lin Ruoyun's sudden invitation: "Okay, Auntie, I will discuss it with Yan Zeqing and find a time to come over."

The moment Lin Ruoyun extended the invitation, Ye Qingning was actually extremely nervous.

She knew that what she said about Yan Zeqing was just a lie she was forced to weave to cover up the complicated and delicate emotions between herself and Pei Jingchuan.

However, in the face of Lin Ruoyun's sincere invitation, Ye Qingning felt an unprecedented sense of pressure and guilt.

"Auntie, let's make an agreement first. I will find a suitable time to come over with Yan Zeqing." Ye Qingning tried her best to keep her voice calm and natural, but her heart felt like it was being held tightly by a big hand. Holding tight, hard to breathe.

Lin Ruoyun smiled slightly, and the smile was full of warmth, "Okay, Qing Ning. I will prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome you."

After ending this conversation, Ye Qingning felt an indescribable sense of relief, but behind this relief was endless worry and anxiety.
