"Which publication do you work for?" Ye Misheng asked casually with a smile as he returned the items to him.
"...New Entertainment." The paparazzi was a little flustered. "Young Master Ye, this is my livelihood, you can't..."
"I'm just looking into it." Ye Misheng waved his hand to interrupt the other party, and smiled. "Your CEO Wang even treated my brother to dinner a while ago, although my brother didn't go."
That's outrageous! Too outrageous! During this period, Ye Misheng had been relatively friendly to Zhou Zhou. This was the first time he had seen Ye Misheng use his wealth to put pressure on others.
As soon as the words were spoken, the paparazzi man naturally understood what the other party meant, and nodded to assure him, "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I'll pretend that what happened today never happened!"
No matter how confident they appear on the surface, their hearts are still bleeding inside.
This is huge news! After Zhou Zhou's unrequited love for the movie star Ye Qisheng, she turned to getting entangled with his younger brother Ye Misheng. No matter which publication or platform it's published on, it's bound to be a major exposure!
The paparazzi left the hospital with tears in his eyes, clutching his equipment.
Zhou Zhou sighed. Even if she left the entertainment industry, her interactions with people in the industry would still attract attention. She would have to be more careful about her behavior in the future.
Turning his head to meet a pair of smiling eyes so close to his, Zhou Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and subtly moved away, saying apologetically, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Ye Misheng's eyes flickered, and she moved a little closer to him, grinning, "It was a last-minute decision. I was originally going to the company, but I suddenly thought of coming in and taking a look when I passed by here, and who knew I would end up helping out."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Is it okay if I don't go to the company? You must be quite busy with such a big business."
"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
Why isn't Wen Luo with you?
“He has a full schedule these days and doesn’t have time. Besides, my brother doesn’t like me always hanging around him.”
"Why don't we go upstairs and sit for a while? It's still quite hot outside."
As Zhou Zhou stood up, Ye Misheng grabbed his wrist. Zhou Zhou was jolted and about to shake him off when Ye Misheng stood up with him and helped him up.
He chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, let me help you. You're walking too slowly." The last part sounded more like a joke.
Zhou Zhou looked embarrassed and a little ashamed. He was just overreacting; not everyone had the same thoughts about him as Fu Hengzhi.
This shouldn't be happening, it's absolutely wrong.
Zhou Zhou switched expressions, chatting with Ye Misheng with a smile all the way, but his smile suddenly froze just before they reached the hospital entrance.
What achievement would be triggered if he and Ye Misheng were alone together? For example, would they be 100% caught by Fu Hengzhi... no, just run into each other?
Zhou Zhou: "Why did you come down? Weren't you taking a nap?"
Fu Hengzhi's gaze fell on Ye Misheng's hand on Zhou Zhou. His originally gloomy expression returned to normal the moment the other party spoke. He lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "It's been more than half an hour."
Zhou Zhou: "?" You actually timed it perfectly?
After Fu Hengzhi finished speaking, he stepped forward and pushed Ye Misheng away. He didn't use much force, and anyone with sense would know to let go. But Ye Misheng didn't. Instead, he stood there smiling, not moving an inch.
Fu Hengzhi then turned and walked to Zhou Zhou's other side to help him up.
Zhou Zhou, with both arms held up: "..."
"No need for help, I can manage again." Zhou Zhou broke free from the two of them and refused to let either of them help her, walking slowly ahead on her own.
Fu Hengzhi and Ye Misheng followed slowly behind, their emotions churning beneath the surface.
Zhou Zhou, who was walking in front, seemed to sense something was wrong and looked back, but the two of them looked away as if nothing had happened.
Once the other party was no longer paying attention, Fu Hengzhi said indifferently in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Doesn't Young Master Ye know how to avoid danger?"
“But I think Brother Zhou would be happy to be with me.” Ye Misheng’s lips curled up, full of provocation.
Fu Hengzhi narrowed his eyes dangerously at him, and a sense of tension filled the air between them.
Zhou Zhou walked ahead, completely unaware of what was happening, when his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He quickly took it out to check the message.
Wang Kunxiang: There's a sign, bro!
Wang Kunxiang: What a coincidence!
-Wang Kunxiang: My girlfriend happens to have a girlfriend!
The moment the words "little sisters" appeared on the screen, Zhou Zhou was so startled that she almost dropped her phone. She quickly turned off the screen and put the phone back in her pocket, glancing back at Fu Hengzhi in her haste.
Fu Hengzhi saw Zhou Zhou turn his head and was about to give him a smile when he saw the other party quickly turn back.
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
Zhou Zhou felt guilty even glancing at the other person.
That's so fast!
Zhou Zhou inwardly cursed, thinking that if Wang Kunxiang wasn't 100% trustworthy, he would have suspected that the other party's motives were impure.
The three returned to the ward. Zhou Zhou had just sat down on the bed when it was time for Fu Hengzhi to go to the company.
Before leaving, Fu Hengzhi picked up his car keys and said goodbye to Zhou Zhou, "I'll come again this afternoon."
"Um, yeah," Zhou Zhou stammered in response.
Fu Hengzhi sensed that the other party was a bit strange, but he had nowhere to verify it for the time being, so he turned his attention to Ye Misheng, who had just sat down.
He said calmly, "Young Master Ye, why don't you come along? It just so happens that the Fu family recently acquired a new project, and the Ye family has some connections with the project company. Shall we have a chat?"
"I'm not in charge of this section," Ye Misheng was about to refuse when Zhou Zhou said.
"Perfect timing, I'll take a nap."
Ye Misheng: "..." The road has narrowed.
Ye Misheng reluctantly left the hospital with Fu Hengzhi. No sooner had the two left than Zhou Zhou got out of bed and locked the ward door from the inside. Feeling guilty, he also drew the curtains.
This matter cannot be brought to light.
Back in his hospital bed, he secretly opened his phone to reply to messages.
Zhou Zhou: You're so fast!
Zhou Zhou: I still think this is not a good idea.
Zhou Zhou: Do you have any photos?
-Wang Kunxiang: ……
-Wang Kunxiang: [Photo].jpg
-Wang Kunxiang: My girlfriend's sister.
-Wang Kunxiang: Zhou, you've hit the jackpot. I haven't revealed your real name to the other party. You can chat online first and see how things go.
-Wang Kunxiang: It's not too much to chat online, is it?
Zhou Zhou: Hmm...
We're just chatting online, let's consider this a chance to make friends.
Zhou Zhou numbed himself and accepted the friend request with his sinful hand.
-Sweetie: Hi there, handsome!
The girl was very enthusiastic from the start; this was the second time in Zhou Zhou's two lifetimes that he had chatted with a girl like that.
The first one was the senior student who tricked him into buying study materials.
Zhou Zhou: Hello.
- Sweetie: I heard you've never been in a relationship, right?
Zhou Zhou: ...Yes.
I've never been in a relationship, but I've been married.
-Sweetie: Hey~
The next thing was an audio message, which Zhou Zhou listened to without thinking.
'Want to date, bro? I have a cute, girly voice~'
Her voice is so sweet it's almost unbearable.
"!" Zhou Zhou was so startled that his hand slipped.
[The other person has been successfully removed from the friend list]
[Author's Note]:
Sweetie: ? ? ?
Don't worry about Zhou Zhou cheating; the kid doesn't even have the guts, hahaha.
Dating is out of the question, hahaha.
I'll be taking the driving test tomorrow. If I pass, I'll add an extra chapter!
Chapter 44 Mr. Fu: Who said it was unavoidable?
Chapter 44 President Fu: Who says it's unavoidable?
Zhou Zhou only realized what she had done after deleting the person, and felt awkward and embarrassed for a moment.
Before she could even process what had just been said—"Let's date!"—Wang Kunxiang called.
Zhou Zhou knew the other party was calling to demand an explanation, so he had no choice but to answer the phone. Sure enough, the moment the call connected, the other party asked a shocked question.
"My girlfriend complained to me, saying, 'You deleted that girl?!'"
"She was so enthusiastic, I couldn't handle it."
Is that a reason, Zhou?
"Should I add it back?"
"..."
He eventually added her back, but the other side would send a crying emoji or two every now and then, making Zhou Zhou feel quite embarrassed.
-Sweetie: Little brother, don't you like me? [Cat crying].jpg
Zhou Zhou: No, no, I was just too nervous and my hand slipped.
Zhou Zhou: I'm sorry.
