After reading Zhou Sichen's report, Fu Yi communicated with him on msn for a bit and completed the implementation of the project. Fu Yi asked him, "Are you coming back for the new year?"
Zhou Sichen replied very quickly, "No reply."
Seeing Zhou Sichen's reply, Fu Yi was a little surprised. Didn't this fellow say that he wanted to return to his country a while ago? He joked, "Do you need me to ask Meng Hao to send you something?"
"That's fine." Zhou Sichen actually sent over a long list.
Fu Yi gave a simple glance and was a little surprised. "Why is there sunscreen? Didn't I remember that someone said he wanted to suntan to the color of wheat?" If he remembered correctly, this sunscreen was a brand only for women.
"For a friend." Zhou Sichen was unwilling to say more.
Fu Yi was just about to reply when he heard Chu Mengyao's voice, "I didn't, I really didn't …" The voice was frantic.
Fu Yi turned his head to look. Chu Mengyao was actually sleep talking, and her expression was one of panic, and his face was extremely pale. He immediately placed the notebook on the cabinet beside him, and patted Chu Mengyao's face.
"I really don't have any!" Chu Mengyao exclaimed as she woke up with sweat on her forehead.
Fu Yi gently wiped Chu Mengyao's forehead, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Chu Mengyao felt as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out.
Fu Yi passed a cup of water over.
She drank half of the cup in one breath, but her face was still very pale, as if she had not yet withdrawn from her nightmare.
Fu Yi was a little worried when he saw her current state. It was not the first time she had slept with him. When she was exhausted, she would quickly fall asleep, but he would always be able to sleep soundly. This was the first time that a nightmare had occurred.
"Why are you acting like a child, scaring you like this with just a dream?" Fu Yi caressed her hair and comforted his in a very gentle tone, "Even dreams are fake, the reverse is true.
A lot of emotions flashed past Chu Mengyao's eyes. Even though she was by Fu Yi's side, her heart was still a little hesitant, and there were a lot of uncertainty in her heart. "Will you break up with me?"
"Why do you ask?" Fu Yi looked at Chu Mengyao with a puzzled expression.
Chu Mengyao did not look at Fu Yi. Instead, she lowered her head and said with a slightly trembling voice, "There are a lot of things related to me on the web. She was so upset, so worried and sad, that she was afraid he would break up with her. She had wanted to have an intimate relationship with him from the moment she saw him. It was also because the uncertainty in her heart had caused her to be too confused.
Only for a moment could she feel that he belonged to her.
"I saw it." Fu Yi did not speak the truth. In fact, he had only seen a very small portion of it, because if he were to finish reading it all, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and would attack without caring.
"Have you all seen it?" Chu Mengyao's eyes were a little red.
"Just our pictures." Fu Yi's voice was very gentle. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, he intentionally started a joke, "The person who secretly took the photos must have a crush on you. Otherwise, why did he take you so beautifully, and make me look so ugly, like a wretched uncle!"
When Chu Mengyao heard him, she was originally very depressed. However, she could not help but chuckle, "I'm really sorry to have pulled you in as well."
"Little fool!" Fu Yi frowned, looking at her.
Chu Mengyao lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. She was very nervous, "The netizens don't understand the situation and the words they say are not nice either. Will it affect you?"
"Influence me?" Fu Yi asked.
"I was afraid someone would take another picture of us and post it online..." They didn't have anything to hide from the public during their days in the capital. They were always very intimate. It was inevitable that there would be surveillance in these places. If someone intentionally made a fuss about Fu Yi on the internet, he would be like her right now.
"It's fine even if we get shot. We're not married, what's there to worry about?" Fu Yi said very calmly.
"But other people thought that Wu Haoran and I were engaged, and that you would be misunderstood." Wasn't Xie Nana a very obvious example. She didn't want Fu Yi to be criticized for no reason because of her.
"A marriage contract is only a kind of agreement, and is not protected by the law." Fu Yi comforted her, "Furthermore, marriage can also mean divorce, isn't it normal to cancel the engagement after?"
His words eased the unease in Chu Mengyao's heart.
"Have you not been sleeping well recently? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Fu Yi asked.
"Do you believe it when they say online that my private life is a mess?" Chu Mengyao hesitated for a long time, but still asked.
"What do you think?" Fu Yi did not answer directly.
Chu Mengyao lowered his head and shook it. It wasn't easy for people on the internet to say that. Even if she didn't believe it, he would probably doubt it.
"Do you have no confidence in yourself, or in me?" Fu Yi really wanted to knock open her brain and see what she was thinking about all day.
Chu Mengyao did not speak, and only remained silent.
"Then tell me, are the things on the internet true?" Fu Yi asked.
"It's all fake!" Chu Mengyao answered without hesitation.
"Then that's it, I believe you. No matter what others say, I only believe in you. " Fu Yi pulled her hand and said firmly.
Chu Mengyao looked into his eyes, "Are you afraid that I would deceive you?"
Fu Yi looked at Chu Mengyao with deep emotions, her tone was very gentle, "Even if you lied to me, I am still willing."
There was nothing more moving than these words of love. Chu Mengyao felt a warm feeling surge through her heart and lean into Fu Yi's embrace. "Fu Yi, thank you for believing me!"
"Little fool!" Fu Yi intimately held onto her shoulders. When she came here to beg for joy a moment ago, he could faintly guess that she must have something on his mind. And in the embrace, she held him very tightly, as if he wanted to insert himself into her body and didn't want to let go. This situation clearly showed how much she cared about him. He was unwilling to leave him, and with her deeply in love with him, how could he possibly let go?
"These few days, I've been feeling extremely uncomfortable and in a bad mood. I wanted to pour out my heart, but I found no one to pour out my heart to, and no one came to comfort me." Chu Mengyao vented his feelings, "I want to vent my feelings, but I don't have a way."
Fu Yi deliberately teased her, "Are you saying these words to me as a tool to vent your anger, or are you seeking my comfort?"
Chu Mengyao's face was flushed red, but she did not say a word.
"Should I be glad that the person you're looking for is me?" Fu Yi purposely teased her.
Chu Mengyao's face became even redder as she explained carefully, "I did seduce you in the past, but I've never only had you. I didn't do anything to anyone else …"
"Of course I know!" Fu Yi continued to tease her, "When you seduced me the first time, you pretended to be very experienced. He was in so much pain, but he had to grit his teeth and endure. Was it you? "As a result, I did not perform well …"
Chu Mengyao was so embarrassed, why does this person keep saying that.
"It's still the same now. I don't have enough stamina and always provoke me, but in the end, someone always begs for mercy!"
"Don't say anymore!" Chu Mengyao immediately reached out and covered his mouth.
"Alright, alright, alright, I won't say anymore!" Fu Yi dodged backwards.
Chu Mengyao rolled her eyes at him, then leaned into his embrace. She felt relieved to hear his strong heartbeat.
"Have you been in a bad mood these past few days because of the rumors on the internet?" Fu Yi asked.
Chu Mengyao nodded her head. Although she was annoyed by the rumours on the internet, she was worried that Fu Yi would misunderstand her. Fortunately, he did not believe the rumors online, which made the depression and stress in her heart lessen by a lot.
"Those rumors will eventually pass away." Fu Yi's tone was very calm. "The netizens' interest in these gossips will soon subside. When other things get the attention of the netizens, they will naturally not remember this. "
"But this matter involves a lot of friends. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have been involved in this matter, and it would have even affected their lives. I'm really sorry. " Chu Mengyao heaved a long sigh.
Fu Yi raised his eyebrows, "What happened now has already happened, and you are also the victim. I don't think they would blame you if they were your friends. " Fu Yi's tone was a little sour, "But since you mentioned this matter, shouldn't you explain it to your boyfriend?
Just a moment ago, Fu Yi was still comforting Chu Mengyao in all seriousness. Frankly speaking, in love, he was also a stingy, jealous man with an extremely strong possessive nature.
But Chu Mengyao also felt that she should explain it to Fu Yi, "Shangguan, you know it, there's no need to say it anymore, right?"
Fu Yi curled his lips and did not say a word. Actually, he was quite jealous of Shangguan Rui. After all, he and Chu Mengyao grew up together, and he really wished that the person accompanying her was himself.
"Xiao Tian works together with our company, we ate together a few times, we aren't very familiar with each other." Chu Mengyao explained to Fu Yi one by one. She was actually very light and nimble, and didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Naturally, he concealed the matter of Xiao Tian's confession to his.
"If not, could he help you with your coat?" When he saw that photo, he unconsciously thought back to the time when Xiao Tian was being considerate and meticulous to Chu Mengyao at the Conclave of Trade and Industry. He was also a man, how could he not see that Xiao Tian had a good impression of him?
"Did he pull out a chair for me? Xiao Tian is just a gentleman, do you think you can be like you, pulling up the chair and purposely teasing me! Chu Mengyao rolled her eyes at Fu Yi after she finished speaking.
Fu Yi felt awkward. This woman was really stingy, to actually hold a grudge! He then pretended to be uninterested and asked, "If he's such a gentleman, then why didn't you call Xiao Tian regarding this matter on the internet and apologize?"
"There's a fight going on." Chu Mengyao didn't react and answered honestly.
