A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 68

Rong Yi shrank in his arms and asked in a low voice, “What status?”

Xiao Yin didn’t give a direct answer. He whispered, “Do you want to see?”

Rong Yi fell silent.

Xiao Yin couldn’t be…

Thinking of marrying him.

It’s too soon.

Rong Yi’s first reaction was still timid, and he said, “No, it’s not necessary.”

He whispered, “Brother, let’s go to sleep.”

Xiao Yin paused for a moment, didn’t say anything more, just held him closer. The warm palm followed his spine and reached up, holding onto his waist.

“Alright, let’s sleep.”

Rong Yi, feeling helpless, had a rapid heartbeat and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

He secretly raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Yin was already asleep. His eyes were closed, with long eyelashes, and in the darkness, his face appeared even more handsome and clear.

Rong Yi was tangled all night, and his dreams were chaotic. When he woke up, he couldn’t remember what he dreamt about.

But when he opened his eyes, Xiao Yin had already gotten up, leaving him alone in bed.

Rong Yi reached for his phone and checked it.

There was a message from Xiao Yin at six in the morning: “There’s an emergency situation. I might not be able to pick you up at noon. I’ve arranged for Xiao Tang to pick you up on time.”

Xiao Yin often had various unexpected matters, so Rong Yi didn’t pay much attention to it. He replied, “Okay. Is there anything I can help with?”

Rong Yi saw that Xiao Yin didn’t reply immediately, so he put down his phone and started getting dressed.

After getting dressed and finishing his morning routine, Rong Yi received a message from Xiao Yin.

“Come back early.”

Rong Yi put away his phone, feeling helpless once again.

If it weren’t for his rationality, he would have followed Xiao Yin and spent the entire holiday with him.

After briefly imagining a wonderful holiday, Rong Yi regained his senses and walked to the opposite room to pack his luggage.

He took a few clothes and placed his personal care products next to the suitcase. But as soon as he went over, he paused for a moment.

His suitcase had always been placed next to the bed in the bedroom and hadn’t been touched for a few months. Now, next to the suitcase, there was a silver gift box with a piece of note paper attached, bearing Xiao Yin’s messy handwriting.

“Customs of City A: 3, 5, 10.”

The number “10” was circled by Xiao Yin, resembling a mysterious code.

Rong Yi opened the box and glanced inside, quickly realizing what Xiao Yin had written.

When the silver box opened, it revealed a dazzling golden light, almost blinding his eyes.

Ten pieces of golden items, pure gold, finely crafted with exquisite and majestic designs. Earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, paired zodiac ornaments, auspicious locks, small gold bricks, golden beads, and safety buckles.

Exactly ten items, and they were all in pairs.

Rong Yi knew what they were.

They were the gold items the groom should buy according to the marriage customs of his hometown. They were not used as a betrothal gift but were meant for personal use. It was an old custom to show respect to the elders and seek their approval.

Rong Yi had witnessed other people’s weddings, and he had only seen three types of items being purchased. After all, people nowadays didn’t like to wear gold accessories.

He didn’t expect Xiao Yin to buy all ten items directly, and just by their appearance, he could tell that they were valuable.

It didn’t seem like a last-minute purchase but rather like they were custom-made at a high price.

Rong Yi glanced in fear and closed the box.

After closing it, he opened it again and carefully held the golden ring in his hand.

The ring was adorned with delicate diamond inlays, extremely magnificent and grand. In the center, there was a hollowed-out rose, beautiful and dazzling.

No one would dislike such a ring.

Inside, it represented the highest and best standard given by a lover. It seemed to declare clearly that he wanted to give him the best and let everyone see it.

Rong Yi looked at the entire box of gold items and touched the dazzling ring.

Then, he put the ring back, neatly placed the entire box into the wardrobe, and picked up his luggage.

Xiao Tang was already waiting in the living room.

People around Xiao Yin were like this, never letting their boss wait. As soon as Rong Yi carried his suitcase downstairs, Xiao Tang stood up.

“The boss has something at home today, so he flew back early. Captain, I’ll take you to the airport at noon.”

“Alright, thank you.” Rong Yi nodded.

Xiao Tang voluntarily took Rong Yi’s luggage, and the driver had already brought the car over, ready to depart at any time.

The driver seemed unaware of the situation, as he asked, “The boss hasn’t come out yet?”

“The boss had a car pick him up this morning, and he left directly.”

Xiao Tang lowered his voice, not avoiding Rong Yi, as if he naturally assumed Rong Yi knew. “Seems like it was his family.”

“Oh, I see.” The driver didn’t ask any further.

Rong Yi got into the car.

After a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who came to pick him up? Aren’t his family members all overseas?”

Xiao Tang, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at him with surprise, then realized something. “Oh, the captain was still asleep this morning, probably doesn’t know. It’s the boss’s younger sister. You haven’t had a chance to meet, right? Miss Xiao also works in China, and they came back home together for the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“Oh…” Rong Yi didn’t know what to say and could only nod.

He was actually curious about Xiao Yin’s family, but since Xiao Yin didn’t bring it up, he wouldn’t indiscreetly ask.

The driver seemed like he had seen someone in the morning. “Oh, so the person outside the yard this morning was the boss’s younger sister? My goodness, that’s…”

Xiao Tang said, “This matter isn’t known to the public. Please don’t spread it around.”

Rong Yi was even more curious, but he restrained himself from asking further.

He lowered his head and checked his phone.

The previous incident of being pursued by the paparazzi had been resolved. VIT Club issued an announcement and statement this morning, summarizing it as a malicious media pursuit incident without going into details. They only mentioned the outcome: the journalist had been suspended and thanked everyone present for their cooperation, preventing the matter from escalating.

It was a smooth handling of the situation, and a few days had passed. VIT didn’t buy the data and even deliberately suppressed the trending topics, only allowing the audience and fans to understand the cause and effect of that day.

At this moment, the viewers who had been silent for the past few days started posting updates. However, their posts were well-organized, without any pictures, and the level of excitement wasn’t high.

But there was something unusual.

Because of a journalist’s incident, the entire media magazine company was being investigated and all business interactions were suspended.

This media magazine company was well-known, at least people who surf the internet had heard of

it. It was strange that such a large-scale company could be quietly investigated so quickly.

Lin Yi also sent him a message.

<Shut down and rectify! XX Media Magazine Company’s related situation.>

“Your husband is impressive.”

“This is XX Magazine, the media department directly affiliated with XX Entertainment. Such a large company can shut down and be investigated just like that, without even trending on social media. They’re really low-key and efficient.”

Rong Yi felt it was somewhat unreal. “Is it a coincidence?”

He knew that XX Entertainment was almost dominating the entertainment industry and was a very big company. The circles and enterprises it involved were intricate and interconnected.

Lin Yi said, “Are you going to the airport now? I’ve found some gossip articles. Download them and read them on the plane.”

“Your husband is not only appearing in the e-sports section; today, he appeared in the financial news.”

“Huh?”

Rong Yi wasn’t aware of this, so he clicked on it.

It was a foreign website, and the front page displayed tabloid news featuring the entrance of VIT Club.

Being someone not academically inclined, Rong Yi naturally clicked on the full translation.

“Lei Ya and Mysterious Man Board Plane, Expected to Return to America to Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with the Chinese Diaspora.”

The photos were not very clear, showing a woman with a beautiful face and a man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly.

Lei Ya.

That name sounded familiar.

Like he had heard it on TV.

Although he couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, Rong Yi could tell it was Xiao Yin even if he were burned to ashes.

Rong Yi hadn’t boarded the plane yet, so he replied to Lin Yi.

“Is this journalist a bit silly? Didn’t Brother Yin recognize him?”

He examined the photo again. The woman in the picture actually bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Yin in her eyebrows and eyes. She had a sharp and glamorous appearance.

“It’s very recognizable, but everyone is playing dumb. No one dares to reveal their identities. That’s what makes it interesting.”

Lin Yi was excited to the point of near-death. “Don’t you know Lei Ya? She’s the director of XX TV Station! Quick, think about what kind of family your husband really comes from!”

“They look so similar, but they have different surnames. They probably took their parents’ surnames separately. The industry is too vast, and no one dares to expose it. There are also people online who say they look alike, but no one thought they might be from the same family. They just think good-looking people resemble each other.”

“Seriously, your husband’s family background and influence may be much stronger than you think… I was shocked when I discovered this gossip.”

In the end, Lin Yi made a core conclusion and sent a pat-on-the-shoulder emoji.

“Easy, I think you might be marrying into a wealthy family.”

“A wealthy family among wealthy families.”

After reading the message, Rong Yi scrolled on his phone for a while, then pondered for a moment. He didn’t laugh or get as excited as Lin Yi, but a pensive expression appeared on his face.
