Pei Yan watched the situation escalate, his frown growing deeper.

Zheng Qian immediately said, "The studio will issue a statement right away. All of our PR strategies are ready. As soon as you repost the Weibo, we’ll handle the public reaction throughout."

Zheng Qian had expected this day to come, so he was well prepared. The arrangements were already in place on the company’s side.

"Hmm, have them wait until I post my Weibo before they release the statement."

Pei Yan opened his phone and logged into Weibo.

The notifications showed 999+, all of them fans questioning if he was with Qin Yun.

Pei Yan didn’t even open them, he went straight to content editing.

He chose a photo he secretly took himself.

It was Qin Yun, still not fully awake in the morning.

Asleep, Qin Yun looked like a child, the warm sunlight falling on her long lashes.

The photo was so heartwarming it made one anxious.

Pei Yan typed a few words and tagged Qin Yun’s Weibo.

Pei Yan v: Let me introduce you all, this is my wife, legally protected. @Qin Yun

Pei Yan’s Weibo had just been posted when the comments under it grew at an astounding pace, reaching over a thousand in just one minute.

[Impossible! This has to be a joke! I don’t believe it!!]

[Bro, was your Weibo account hacked?!]

[It’s definitely a hack, right? I can’t believe you’re married!]

[Goodbye everyone, see you under the school building.]

[Whoa, whoa, wife? Is it April Fool’s Day? You must be kidding me!]

[Is this really true? Why do I feel like I’m dreaming? Brother actually admitted it on Weibo!]

[A woman who’s probably been with countless men has the nerve to deceive my brother, I will expose Qin Yun’s hypocrisy for everyone to see // Video link.]

[Whoa, are these videos real?]

[Back when she was with Sister Li, who knows how many men she’s been with. Whatever seductive tricks she used to lure Bro must have made him fall into her trap.]

As soon as Pei Yan’s Weibo was posted, the entire internet exploded, especially his fans.

Of course, there were fans of Pei Yan’s dramas who, upon knowing he got married, blessed him with "99" and hoped he would continue to do good work after marriage.

However, Pei Yan’s solo fans were too fierce, creating internal disagreements, as solo fans believed nobody was good enough for Pei Yan, especially not Qin Yun.

Career-focused fans, on the other hand, felt as long as Pei Yan was happy, getting married was fine as long as things didn’t get messy.

After Pei Yan’s Weibo post, CP fans didn’t dare to speak up, fearing they’d be flamed by Pei Yan’s fans, and one CP fan leader’s home address was even exposed.

Some even threatened to teach this CP fan leader a lesson.

CP fans were too frightened to make any noise.

As for Qin Yun’s fans, they were all caught off guard by the fact that Qin Yun and Pei Yan had registered their marriage and took some time to react.

[No way, is this true? Yunyun actually married Pei Yan?!]

[How am I supposed to interact with Pei Yan’s fans from now on? I’m so conflicted; should I insult them or not?]

[Whoa, whoa!!! What’s happening? Yunyun became part of Pei Yan’s family in just a few days?]

[Look at this photo, obviously taken in bed. You should realize the situation is simpler than you imagine. They’re indeed together, and they’ve been hiding it for a long time.]

[I always thought Yunyun was a simple kid who loved to eat. When did she start seeing us as outsiders?]

[I can’t take it. Just thinking about my goddess sleeping with Pei Yan gets me so excited that I’m about to have a nosebleed. I gotta go buy some cooling medicine at the pharmacy, see you later.]

[Pei Yan’s fans are still insulting my Yunyun, I can’t take it anymore. If I jump out and scold them now, it wouldn’t count as a serious conflict, right?]

[I also think they’re too much. Mr. Pei openly said Yunyun is his wife, yet these foolish fans still refuse to accept it.]

[What good is not accepting it? It won’t change the fact that they’ve already registered their marriage!!]

[With things progressing this far, why is our Yunyun still so unresponsive? This isn’t like Qin Yun at all, is it?]

[Exactly, where is our Yunyun? Where did she go? Isn’t she off filming today?]

[Could she be shy?]

[I don’t think that’s possible. She wouldn’t feel shy, she’d only proudly tell the world that Pei Yan is hers, and anyone who disagrees should just hold it in.]

[Got the picture.]

[It’s a vivid scene.]

As Qin Yun’s fans hovered on the edge of insulting Pei Yan’s fans, Pei Yan’s studio swiftly reposted Pei Yan’s Weibo and tagged Qin Yun.

Pei Yan’s Studio v: This is our boss’s wife. Please take care of her. @Qin Yun

The studio posted several Weibo updates, including a statement about the marriage, explaining the hardships the couple faced and why they married in secrecy.

Pei Yan’s Studio v: It hasn’t been easy for them to arrive at this point. To maintain their work dynamics, after mutual discussion, they decided not to publicize their marital status... In conclusion, we hope everyone can offer more tolerance and less malice towards the couple. Thank you everyone, wishing you all a happy life.

After the studio’s statement, the Tang Group’s official Weibo also reposted Pei Yan’s Weibo.

Tang Group v: Greetings to our son-in-law. @Pei Yan

Not only the official account, but every member of the Tang Family posted on their private Weibo, introducing Pei Yan as the Tang family’s son-in-law.

Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei have always been reserved, rarely making public remarks.

But this time, they both stepped forward, tagging Qin Yun on Weibo: This is the daughter-in-law of our Pei Family, whom we like very much, like one of our own. We don’t need your guidance, we’ll treat her as our own daughter. @Qin Yun

In less than ten minutes, both the Tang Family and the Pei Family stood up, showing strong support for Qin Yun.

Their attitude clearly indicated they wouldn’t tolerate any negative comments about Qin Yun.

The fans, who previously acted so aggressively, were suddenly silenced, and the haters and trolls were also taken aback.

The prominent Weibo influencer who first exposed the couple’s cohabitation quickly deleted their post, and others followed suit, removing speculative content about their relationship.

After the online situation cooled down somewhat, Pei Yan called Yuanyuan, indicating it was okay to return the phone to Qin Yun. When Qin Yun logged back into Weibo, she saw all the tags directed at her and also noticed the photo Pei Yan secretly took of her, making her heart become incredibly soft.

She found a photo of the two of them she had taken earlier in her phone, edited a Weibo post, and sent it out.

Qin Yun v: This is my caretaker. @Pei Yan
