Zhou Zhou was almost pulled over by the other person, half of his body over the small round table between the two of them. His left hand was firmly on the tabletop, his right hand barely grasped the other person's shoulder, and his knees were dangling in the gap between the chair and the round table, swaying precariously without any strength.
Fu Hengzhi's beautiful eyes were already closed, and he was earnestly enjoying this kiss with his lover.
That's right. These things are easy to get used to the first time, and you'll only get more familiar with them the third and fourth time. Fu Hengzhi's breath control was perfect. If it weren't for the fact that he had bitten her lips haphazardly during their first kiss last night, making her lips hurt, Zhou Zhou would definitely suspect that he had a history of romantic relationships because he was so skilled.
Secretary He pursed her lips tightly, her hands clasped together and hanging down on her thighs. Her left hand gripped her right palm tightly. This was too exciting for her. She was afraid that she would lose control and shout out in excitement.
Driver Zhao, being older and having seen it all, appeared much calmer in comparison. He slowly turned on the car music, the volume of which just masked the hissing sound coming from the back seat.
Zhou Zhou's face was flushed and his head was fuzzy. He was almost suffocating before Fu Hengzhi finally let him go. After being released, he quickly sat up straight in his chair, looking down at his heart and unwilling to look up.
It's so embarrassing. Kissing in front of outsiders is practically social death. He won't even dare to look Uncle Zhao and Secretary He in the eye later.
"Wipe it off?" Fu Hengzhi reached out and placed a tissue in front of him.
Zhou Zhou silently turned his head towards him, only to see the other person pointing to his chin. He then realized that he had separated them in such a hurry that the movement was too vigorous, resulting in a silver thread between their lips... That was too damn embarrassing.
It could be described as rude. Zhou Zhou forcefully snatched the paper from the other person's hand and rubbed it vigorously against his chin and lips.
The force was so great that Fu Hengzhi frowned and stopped him, saying softly, "Don't use so much force, or you'll ruin it."
Extremely ambiguous.
Zhou Zhou felt like his head was about to burst into flames; he wished he could jump out of the car.
She seems to have forgotten what he looks like; she even wanted to do the above last night.
Seeing that the other person was already like this, Fu Hengzhi could no longer tease him. Just a few minutes ago, the two of them were in opposite states, but now Fu Hengzhi had completely reversed the situation.
"Put Secretary He down at the company parking lot, then drive home," Fu Hengzhi said to the driver, who responded and did as instructed.
Zhou Zhou was still sullen because of what had just happened. Her hand slipped into her pocket and touched the notebook she had just passed the exam today. Her eyes lit up immediately.
Turning her head excitedly to look at Fu Hengzhi, she forgot all her unhappiness and took out her driver's license, handing it to him. "I've gotten my driver's license. When are you going to give me the keys?"
Zhou Zhou was overjoyed just thinking about that drawer full of luxury car keys.
"The key is on the cabinet in the entryway. Just pick it up when you get back."
As expected, Zhou Zhou rushed into the house as soon as he got out of the car. Upon opening the door and seeing the keys on the doorframe, he immediately opened the drawer.
When his wife was happy, Mr. Fu was happy too. He even smiled as he came to change his shoes.
"I'll drive you to the company this afternoon." Zhou Zhou chose a BMW and waved the car keys in front of Fu Hengzhi.
Fu Hengzhi smiled and said, "Okay."
During his lunch break, Fu Hengzhi was no longer so happy. Although the trending topic about the scandal from the morning had been removed, it was still trending, and many people were hurling insults at Zhou Zhou on Weibo. Fu Hengzhi responded to each and every one of them using his alternate account.
That's secondary. The main issue is that some people are actually shipping Ye Qisheng and Zhou Zhou! President Fu was utterly baffled. How could this be?! What's that word again? A cult! It's practically a cult!
The term "CP circle cult" was something President Fu just learned and used on the spot. In this regard, President Fu stood on the same side as those die-hard fans who only love Ye Qisheng, and fiercely condemned the phenomenon of random shipping.
-Cult Fan: Suddenly I feel like I really ship these two! I remember in that leaked picture, Ye Yingdi and Zhou Zhou were wearing the same style of clothes. It's actually a detail, right?! It's true!!!
- Ye Qisheng only loves his female fans: What do you mean "yes"? I checked your past Weibo posts, and you're actually a fan of my brother? You should unfollow him as soon as possible, how dare you? Don't you know how Zhou Zhou harassed my brother back then? The two of them are completely mismatched, okay? [Hehe face].jpg, does Zhou Zhou deserve three keys for ten yuan?
-HZ: I agree with the comment above that they're not a good match, but everyone has their good and bad sides. There's no need to praise one and criticize the other. You'll never see Zhou Zhou's hard work and shining points. [Smiling face]
In comparison, President Fu's conventional remarks still stood out.
Fu Hengzhi wasn't that angry yet, but when he returned to the fan group after a long time, he was surprised to find that many of Zhou Zhou's fans were also shipping Ye Qisheng and Zhou Zhou as a couple. Could he tolerate that?
Fu Hengzhi launched into a tirade in the group chat, spewing all sorts of lecturing remarks, until finally—he scolded the girl so badly that she cried out in a voice message.
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
A 'bang' sounded behind me.
Zhou Zhou, sitting in front of the computer, blinked and turned around to look. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the phone was too hot, I was just letting it cool down." After finishing his meal, the other person received a message from the website editor and went back to his room to get busy. Fu Hengzhi knew he had disturbed the other person, so he reluctantly picked up the phone that he had thrown on the bedside table in anger.
After Zhou Zhou nodded, he turned back. Fu Hengzhi saw that everyone in the group was comforting the girl who was crying on the microphone. He had talked to Zhou Zhou and calmed down. No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't argue with a girl like that.
Although the other party's ability to withstand pressure is really poor.
Mr. Fu realized his mistake and corrected it. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and sent three red envelopes containing 200 yuan each to multiple people.
A row of collection notices was filled with group members.
- [Thank you, boss, here are some flowers for you.]
Among them was the girl who had just cried on the microphone.
Fu Hengzhi: "Hehe."
[Author's Note: Crying Mai Girl: Who would turn down money?]
Fu Hengzhi: Hehe.
Zhou Zhou: That's right! We don't mind being shameless when it comes to making money!
Fu Hengzhi: My wife is right!
Chapter Sixty-Six: This is my daughter-in-law
=================================
Zhou Zhou was busy replying to messages from editors about another book on his website. Because his other novel, "The Star Chaser," had a built-in traffic driver, he often overlooked the data for this other novel. In fact, the data for this book was quite good compared to most new authors. Of course, Zhou Zhou wasn't a new author; the rights to his current book had already been acquired by a company in his previous life, and they planned to adapt it into a film or television series.
Almost the entire manuscript was already in stock. The book's earnings had already reached the first page of the website's rankings. The third-ranked author was a fan of celebrities. The editor contacted him, hoping that he would change the backed-up manuscript from a one-update-per-day format to a five-update-per-day format to finish the book as soon as possible. Zhou Zhou was very surprised because he did not expect that this book would eventually return to this path.
Indeed, literature transcends time and space; readers' aesthetic sensibilities are the same across time and space.
Having sat in front of the computer for too long, Zhou Zhou stretched his stiff neck and got up to walk to the bed.
"You haven't rested yet?" Zhou Zhou glanced at the time; the other person had to go to the company in less than half an hour.
Fu Hengzhi had gone to bed half an hour ago, but now he was so busy with information on the internet that he couldn't sleep. He tried to talk to Zhou Zhou several times, but when he got up, he saw Zhou Zhou staring intently at the computer with her back to him, so he had to give up.
"No." Fu Hengzhi looked rather unhappy. "The Weibo post you made that statement shouldn't have said that I was your friend."
"Then what should we say?" Zhou Zhou lay down next to him.
"To tell you the truth," Fu Hengzhi said, turning around and hugging him.
"...That's not a good idea."
"What's wrong with it?" Fu Hengzhi looked down at him, reached out and pinched his cheek. "Is our relationship something we shouldn't show to others?"
"?" Zhou Zhou was amused by his words. No, why was he turning the tables? Wasn't it the other party who said in the beginning that they wouldn't make their relationship public? "Didn't you propose in the beginning that we wouldn't make our relationship public?"
"..." He was left speechless, and the key point was that Fu Hengzhi hadn't expected the two of them to be together. He blamed himself for not doing a good job of preparation. Fu Hengzhi frowned and said lightly, "Then I want to go public now."
After saying that, he hugged her tightly and said, "When you take me to the company this afternoon, come in with me and let the employees see the president's wife."
Zhou Zhou buried her head in the other's chest, her nostrils filled with the other's scent, which fueled the surge of her hormones. She struggled to lift her head and asked, "Is this okay?"
"What's wrong with it?" Fu Hengzhi buried his fingers in the other person's short hair. The hair that was originally shaved into a buzz cut has grown very quickly and is now almost long enough to cover his fingers. "Before Dad retired, Mom would often go to the company to check up on him. If he had too many social engagements and didn't come home at night, Mom would complain that Dad didn't spend time with her."
Zhou Zhou smiled but didn't say anything. What's the most important thing between two grown men living together? Trust! If there really was such a potential crisis between them, they would have separated back when the original owner was still around. He smiled and said, "Why don't I see you going out for social events?"
"Not for now." Fu Hongjiang paved the way for Fu Hengzhi when he officially took over the company.
There wasn't enough time left to rest. Fu Hengzhi was silent for a while, intending to talk to Zhou Zhou about their disagreement last night, but just as he was about to speak, he heard even breathing from his arms.
Having not slept well last night, and with Fu Hengzhi's hand constantly stroking the back of his head, Zhou Zhou felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and soon his eyelids began to feel heavy.
Fu Hengzhi glanced at the time, quietly got up to cover the other person with the blanket, adjusted the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Aunt Feng was cleaning when she saw him come down alone and asked, "Where's Xiao Zhou?" After all, Zhou Zhou had said several times that he would take her to the company, and she had heard it.
"She's asleep." Fu Hengzhi straightened his clothes, intending to drive himself to the company.
After Fu Hengzhi left, Zhou Zhou slept for about an hour before waking up. It wasn't that she woke up naturally; she was disturbed by a phone ringing.
The phone was on the bedside table. Zhou Zhou groggily picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed Duan Yun.
"Hello, Mom." Zhou Zhou's voice was hoarse from just waking up.
Duan Yun immediately realized the other person was taking a nap, and apologized gently, "Were you sleeping? Did Mom wake you up?"
"No, I slept for a long time and was just about to get up." Zhou Zhou rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly sat up, and yawned widely. "What's wrong, Mom?"
"It's your Aunt Sun's birthday today." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded less confident, and she tentatively asked, "All of Mom's friends will be bringing their daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Um... Mom knows you don't like going to these kinds of gatherings..."
"I know, Mom, I'll go with you." Zhou Zhou laughed heartily. "Grandson, you don't have a daughter-in-law right now, but you do. You wait for me at home, I'll get up, pack my things, and drive to pick you up."
Duan Yun's mood changed immediately upon hearing his quick agreement, and she happily exclaimed "Eh!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhou noticed that it was well past the time Fu Hengzhi was supposed to go to the company.
Zhou Zhou rubbed his head and sighed. He wanted to call, but worried about disturbing the other party's work, so he just edited a message and sent it to express his apology, while also informing the other party that he was accompanying Duan Yun to a friend's birthday party in the afternoon.
I went to the dressing room to change into a suitable outfit, picked out the BMW series car, and turned on the navigation to locate the Fu family's old residence.
"Xiao Zhou, you got your driver's license?" Duan Yun was dressed elegantly and gracefully, with fewer jewelry than last time. Zhou Zhou could understand; perhaps she was afraid of overshadowing the host.
"It will be much easier once you pass the exam." Zhou Zhou smiled as she accepted the gift from the other person, and said sweetly, "Mom, you look really good in that outfit."
Women are always happy when praised, and Duan Yun was so happy that she spun around and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "Right? Your dad just praised me too."
Zhou Zhou drove the other party to their destination, which was a luxury residential area. Zhou Zhou handed the car over to the receptionist and walked into the main hall of the host's house with Duan Yun.
"Xiaoyun is here~"
As soon as the two entered the hall, a woman dressed in elegant and luxurious attire warmly approached them.
Zhou Zhou looked around and found that almost everyone present was a woman, with few men following behind any of the ladies.
"Xiao Zhou, this is your Aunt Sun Mei." Duan Yun put his arm around Sun Mei's hand and warmly introduced her to Zhou Zhou.
"Oh, is this Xiaoheng's partner?" Sun Mei's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "He looks like a celebrity, and he and Xiaoheng are a perfect match."
"Hello, Aunt Sun," Zhou Zhou greeted politely, smiling warmly.
"He's a celebrity." Duan Yun was pleased to hear others praise his own people, and covered his mouth with a smile. "I casually went to the entertainment industry for a while recently, and I'm quite popular."
"..." Black and red can still be considered red, right?
Zhou Zhou was a little embarrassed, not knowing that Duan Yunqing was unaware of his inner workings.
