“It’s been sold…” Ye Qisheng muttered.
"Ah, yes, I sold it." Having already said it, Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and continued, "It's no use keeping it here. It should be given to someone who needs it more."
"It's sold..."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"It's sold..."
"......"
Ye Qisheng took the square box off the coffee table, examined it from all angles, and chuckled strangely, "Secondhand, huh..."
As he laughed, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, making him look pitiful and pathetic.
"It's not secondhand... Lolo... Waaaaah, it's not secondhand..."
At this moment, both those familiar with Ye Qisheng and those unfamiliar with him fell silent. The couple looked at each other speechlessly, listening to the person on the phone blabbing incoherently.
Fu Hengzhi was silent for a moment, then asked Zhou Zhou, "Why don't you contact Ye Misheng and ask him to go see his brother?"
“What a coincidence.” Zhou Zhou hung up the phone and dialed another number. “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
The phone was answered instantly with a 'beep beep'.
"Hey, Mi Sheng... Oh, Kun Xiang, sigh, I'm a telecom fraudster, sorry to bother you."
Zhou Zhou hung up the phone decisively before the other end could speak. He pursed his lips and looked at Fu Hengzhi. Fu Hengzhi looked at him with a complicated expression. It was 12:30 a.m., and everyone, whether they knew Wang Kunxiang or not, was silent.
◎Author's Note:
Ye Qisheng: Tonight, I am the only one injured!
Hahahaha, the world where only Ye Qisheng is injured has been reached.
Chapter 108 As the saying goes, husbands and wives don't quarrel.
...
An awkward silence fell over the room. Zhou Zhou touched her face, lost in thought, and remained silent. Fu Hengzhi easily discerned what his wife was thinking and coughed softly.
"Wang Kunxiang and Ye Misheng are together, they must be discussing business cooperation?"
"..." Zhou Zhou squinted at him upon hearing this, her expression gradually becoming subtle. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Perhaps?"
"Maybe." Fu Hengzhi turned his head, ignoring the other party's skeptical gaze. "When it comes to business cooperation, the location is hard to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again with a pleasant ringtone. This time, the caller ID showed Ye Misheng.
"Hey, Misheng, phone call? What phone call?" Zhou Zhou vaguely heard the sounds of flesh colliding on the other end of the phone. The intensity of the sounds made him blush. "I didn't make a call. Sigh, I guess I bumped into something and accidentally made the call."
Zhou Zhou felt that his ability to make up stories on the spot was now quite impressive. His gaze swept around and met President Fu's eyes. The other man narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps it was a telepathic connection between husband and wife, but he was able to guess what the other man was thinking at that moment.
"I've never lied to you like that, don't overthink it," Zhou Zhou said seriously, covering the receiver with one hand.
There was a clattering sound on the other end of the phone, and faint shouts could be heard.
Seeing that things were getting heated on the other end and that the other person was about to hang up, Zhou Zhou quickly added before they did, "Mi Sheng, go check on Teacher Ye, he seems to be drunk..."
'Beep—beep—'
Before I could finish speaking, the other end of the phone hung up, which felt a bit unreliable.
Although Zhou Zhou usually curses Ye Qisheng as a scumbag, she will still seriously consider things if something really happens, since there is still a chance of dying from drunkenness.
For example, a sudden stroke or heart attack, or suffocating from vomit while asleep, or getting drunk and confused about virtual reality, leading to jumping off a building for fun.
The main reason was that Ye Qisheng's drunken roar was too loud, which was quite different from his usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor, and it shocked Zhou Zhou quite a bit.
Zhou Zhou pursed her lips, unsure, and asked, "It should be alright, right?"
"oh."
"Can Ye Misheng go see his brother?"
President Fu remained expressionless and said, "As a brother, Ye Misheng knows his limits."
Zhou Zhou didn't look at him. She lowered her head, rubbed her chin with her hand, nodded in thought for a moment, then moved to the side, lay down, closed her eyes, and said, "Then let's rest quickly. I have to go to the film set early tomorrow."
No one responded to his words.
"Fu Hengzhi?"
"..."
There was still no movement behind him. Zhou Zhou opened his eyes, leaned forward slightly to look at the foot of the bed, and saw Fu Hengzhi still sitting in the same place, looking at him calmly.
“…” Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow, sat up to meet his gaze, and said before the other could speak, “I’m just that concerned about…”
"More than once."
"The other person was drinking..."
"You've never shown me this much concern when I've gone out for business dinners and gotten drunk."
“No.” Zhou Zhou was repeatedly interrupted while reading the message, which made her both angry and amused. She looked at the person in front of her who was practically holding a jar of jealousy. “We weren’t even together yet when you got drunk at your social event.”
"..." That makes sense, Fu Hengzhi thought about it and thought, "Hmm, it really is true."
But does that stop him from feeling uncomfortable? No, it doesn't.
Just moments ago, President Fu was enjoying a blissful night on this two-by-two double bed, but now he's all sullen and unhappy.
“I can understand being jealous, but you’re going a bit too far…” Zhou Zhou paused, not finishing the sentence. Just making a phone call made him unwilling to sleep. Besides, he was petty; he would have to sleep in the garage.
“It was just a phone call, didn’t I put it on speakerphone for you?” Zhou Zhou went over and hugged him from behind. “We didn’t talk about much.”
"..." President Fu silently turned around and pinned the other person down, not doing anything, just gazing deeply into each other's eyes.
Having been in sync for so long, Zhou Zhou knew what to do whenever the other gazed at her affectionately in bed.
He looked up and kissed the other person's lips, sucking on them before pulling away with a loud "pop~".
After the kiss, she stared intently into the other person's eyes and said solemnly and gently, "I love only you."
Fu Hengzhi loved hearing these devoted words of love, and he could never get enough of them. Zhou Zhou always said this, and it always worked. This time was no exception.
"I love you too."
His passion was rekindled, and Zhou Zhou could even see the flames of excitement dancing in the other's eyes. Soon, the flames spread and engulfed him completely.
The world spun around him, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded. His long, slender, white fingers gripped the sheets tightly. Zhou Zhou seriously suspected that this guy was just using this as an excuse to return to his boudoir, and he still had so much energy.
The sexy, deep voice continued to whisper sweet nothings of love and affection in her ear, each blow accompanied by a heavy thud. Zhou Zhou was so exhausted that she couldn't even lift her fingers and simply passed out.
Even while in a coma, he was still dreaming. In his dream, he saw an empty field with only an unmanned pile driver. The machine kept making "bang" sounds as it operated and operated. Then Zhou Zhou saw that it was dawn.
"..." Zhou Zhou stared blankly at the simple ceiling, then slowly focused.
"Baby, you're awake." The bathroom door opened, and Fu Hengzhi walked out refreshed amidst the steam. Seeing Zhou Zhou trying to sit up, he immediately went over to help her.
"Slow down," Fu Hengzhi said carefully. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Heh." Zhou Zhou rolled her eyes helplessly. "I feel uncomfortable all over... Why are you taking a shower now?"
When Zhou Zhou came to her senses, she stared at the refreshed Fu Hengzhi in disbelief and tentatively asked, "Just finished?"
Fu Hengzhi didn't answer him directly, but kissed his forehead and said gently, "I love you."
Zhou Zhou had only sat up for a short while when his lower back started to ache and he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Damn it." Zhou Zhou leaned against the other's chest, grinding his back teeth. "You're really something."
"No, not really." Fu Hengzhi massaged his wife's lower back with practiced ease, coaxing her gently, "Actually, I've wanted to for a while... I just couldn't resist last night... Is your work important today? If not, just stay home and rest."
"Get out of my way." Zhou Zhou nestled in Fu Hengzhi's arms and cursed at him. "It's only the second day of filming, do you think that matters?"
"Hmm..." President Fu seemed to realize he had gone too far and tried to make amends, "You can't drive like this... I'll take you there, and I'll also talk to the director and producer and ask them to take care of you... Don't look at me like that, this isn't about using connections, it's just a reminder to the director and the others not to forget about the humanistic care for their employees."
"This isn't a work-related injury," Zhou Zhou said, then fell silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
As it turns out, President Fu's words were a magic touch to coax his wife, and she was completely charmed. By the end of the day, Zhou Zhou had almost recovered. That night, President Fu applied medicine to his wife's wounds, and he couldn't resist kissing her again and again... That night, Zhou Zhou cried and cursed, but he silenced her with a kiss.
A soft cushion was thoughtfully added to the passenger seat. Zhou Zhou stared straight ahead expressionlessly, while Fu Hengzhi coaxed his wife and apologized all the way, hoping that he could move back to the master bedroom from the guest room.
"We'll see." Upon arriving at their destination, Zhou Zhou glanced at him indifferently and slowly got out of the Maybach.
It's not unusual to see luxury cars here, and at this time of day, everyone on set is busy with their own things, but there are always one or two people who have nothing to do.
These past few days, Wang Xiaoxun has been spending all his free time getting close to Zhou Zhou. However, he's also managed to keep a proper distance, not clinging to him, just offering a few compliments and helping out a few times to gain Zhou Zhou's favor and recognition.
Zhou Zhou did not dislike this behavior.
"Hey, Editor Zhou." Seeing that the other person was having difficulty getting out of the car, Wang Xiaoxun quickly went to help him. "Your leg isn't healed yet? You'll have to take it easy."
Thanks.
"Hey, your business is my business, why thank me..." Wang Xiaoxun's words suddenly stopped. He was glared at by the handsome man in the driver's seat of the Maybach, and his legs went weak. He blurted out the question involuntarily.
"Brother Zhou, who's the person who brings you to the film set every day?"
“Him.” Zhou Zhou glanced back at the friendly eyes peeking through the half-lowered window. If he hadn’t given prior notice, Fu Hengzhi would have rushed out right now, disregarding his status.
Zhou Zhou smiled at Wang Xiaoxun, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for someone inside the car to hear, "Driver."
"Wow, as expected of Editor Zhou!" Wang Xiaoxun seized the opportunity to flatter him, giving him a thumbs up and saying, "Other people's drivers are all middle-aged men with half-bald heads, but yours is a handsome guy! Awesome!"

Do you guys have any side stories you'd like to see? Feel free to leave a comment now! There are supposed to be a few chapters about Ye Qisheng x Wen Luo and Ye Misheng x Wang Kunxiang. Do you want one of them or both? OWO
Chapter 109 He was the one who initiated the breakup.
These past few days, whenever Zhou Zhou arrived at the film set, she would find a seat next to the director and watch the actors' emotional performances. Today, she arrived early, before the male and female leads had arrived, but Wen Luo, who played the second male lead, arrived early every day.
The nanny van was parked not far away. Zhou Zhou had Wang Xiaoxun help her for a short distance. When she looked back, she saw that her black Maybach was still parked in the same spot. From the angle that only that side could see it, she helplessly curled the corners of her mouth and then waved the arm that Wang Xiaoxun was supporting.
"No need to help me, I've almost recovered in the last couple of days." Zhou Zhou smiled. "Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
"No need, no need, Brother Zhou, you're too kind," Wang Xiaoxun said with a smile. He could tell that the other party didn't want him to stay, so he added, "I have something to do, Brother Zhou, I'll be going now."
"Okay, you're busy." Zhou Zhou waved goodbye to the other party, then lowered his head to send a message to Fu Hengzhi. Ten seconds after sending the message, the Maybach slowly drove away from the scene.
Zhou Zhou sighed helplessly and turned to Wen Luo. From a distance, he saw a figure crouching suspiciously outside the nanny van. When he saw the person approaching, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
