CH 60.1

Wan Tong was surprised and astonished, she thought that Yu Cheng would be obedient to her every command. She never expected him to have such a firm attitude.

She glared at him for a long time and then uttered, “My Dad gave me a house, so I don’t need to live here anymore.”

Yu Cheng ignored her words, suddenly picked her up and put her on the bed, whispering, “Rest early, I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

Wan Tong gritted her teeth, got up and tried to leave.

Yu Cheng hugged her from behind, his chin lightly resting on her shoulder, “Tongtong, behave.”

Wan Tong looked down at the arm that was holding her waist tightly as she struggled to break free. Her elbow also hit his hard chest, “Let me go.”

Yu Cheng remained unmoved, lifting her up and putting her back on the bed in a few steps. He held her down, “Tongtong, it’s late, you need to rest.”

He tightly gripped her shoulders with his palms, but avoided her gaze while speaking.

Wan Tong pushed him a few more times but couldn’t break free. His actions stirred up her tears, which flowed silently.

Yu Cheng slowly released his hold on her and wiped away the tears from her eyes with his long fingers, feeling a bit flustered, “Don’t cry, Tongtong.”

However, Wan Tong took advantage of this opportunity and quickly got up and ran out.

The villa area was very quiet, and the street lights illuminated the road as if it were daytime. Wan Tong was angry and walked quickly all the way.

But before she had gone far, she suddenly remembered that she was only wearing slippers and that the ground was wet from the rain. Her feet were damp, and there were a few mud spots on her calves, making her very uncomfortable.

As she was silently shedding tears, a figure appeared in front of her from behind.

A coat was also draped over her.

Through her tear-filled eyes, Wan Tong looked up and saw Yu Cheng’s handsome face. “Why are you following me?”

“There will be more rain later. Don’t go too far,” Yu Cheng said softly.

He felt a flash of something in the corner of his eye but didn’t react much.

“Why do you care?” Wan Tong turned her head away, but her tone was noticeably softened.

Yu Cheng wrapped her up in the coat and lowered his head to kiss away her tears.

While Wan Tong was still in a daze, he lowered himself in front of her again. He pulled out a clean and fragrant white handkerchief and helped her wipe the mud off her legs.

Wan Tong bit her lip and watched him with his focused expression. Tears streamed down her face even more. How could this man always put himself in such a humble position?

He was like this, making it difficult for her to be tough with him.

Wan Tong wiped her tears and felt a sourness in her heart, and an impulse to hug him arose.

After a while, she tugged on his clothes and muttered, “Stop wiping.”

Yu Cheng put away the handkerchief and asked softly, “Do you want to keep walking or go back home?”

Wen Tong looked at her pajamas and her cheeks turned slightly red. She turned around and walked back home. “Go back to sleep…”

Finally, a faint smile appeared on Yu Cheng’s lips. He caught up with her and whispered, “Tongtong, let me carry you.”

Wan Tong looked at his broad and sturdy back and reached out to climb on.

After returning to the room, Wan Tong went to the bathroom to wash again. At this time, Yu Cheng received a message from Qian Le, informing him of a small media’s latest release of news.

Earlier he had already noticed someone was secretly taking pictures of them, so when he saw the photos that Qian Le sent, he wasn’t surprised.

The entire report only revealed the romantic relationship between Yu Cheng and Wan Tong, and all of it was praise and admiration.

So Yu Cheng just let Qian Le handle it and didn’t bother with it.

This news covered all major and minor media websites the next morning. The photos of Yu Cheng and Wan Tong were widely circulated.

Yu Cheng has been very popular lately because of his looks, his cute quirks, and his ambiguous love affair. People had been buzzing about the photo of him peeling shrimp for Wan Tong, but they never expected him to take it to such a crazy level.

From the photos, it could be seen that the two of them were already living together. When the girl left in the middle of the night in tears, Yu Cheng followed her quietly. He comforted her only when she started crying, helped her put on her coat, wiped her tears, even wiped her feet, and finally carried her back!

Is this something a clean-freak CEO would do?

What kind of immortal love is this?

However, some people thought that the girl was being too dramatic. If the news of her rejecting his proposal was true, then why was she still living in Yu Cheng’s house?

And also, if she keeps letting a man spoil her like this, isn’t she afraid of going too far and getting nothing in the end?

Although there were various rumors circulating outside, the parties involved remained particularly calm.

Wan Tong has returned to work at the company as usual, and although her colleagues gossip, they do not bother her with those rumors.

During her commute, she has encountered journalists a few times, but with security present, they were not allowed to approach her.

Some people online have tried to uncover information about Wan Tong, but they have failed.

Her information is well-protected, and for now, everyone only knows her name is Bai Wantong.

However, because her surname is Bai, and her name being similar to Bai Wanxin, netizens have speculated whether she is the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family.

If this is the case, then it would also explain the rumors surrounding Father Bai’s will.

When Bai Wanxin saw this news, she was absolutely livid.

This shouldn’t be happening. Bai Wantong has seen the video, yet she continues to live with Yu Cheng, and their relationship remains so close??

Anxious, she went directly to Wan Tong and confessed her feelings for Yu Cheng right away.

The way she spoke with sincerity seemed to suggest that her affection for Yu Cheng was deeply rooted.

“So, you came to me because you want to confess to Yu Cheng?” Wan Tong held her cup of water and smiled at the woman in front of her.

Bai Wanxin was taken aback. “I only recently realized my feelings. I want to compete fairly with you for Yu Cheng.”

“Fair competition?” Wan Tong chewed on her words but shook her head. “There’s no such thing as fairness in love. If you want to pursue Chengcheng, go ahead. You don’t need to report to me.”

Her casual attitude made Bai Wanxin even more anxious.

Who is this person? She’s completely inscrutable. Or maybe, Bai Wantong didn’t even see the video?

That’s impossible…

Wan Tong didn’t want to say much more to Bai Wanxin, so she picked up her bag and left.

Bai Wanxin watched her back as her gaze gradually became darker.

As Wan Tong left the coffee shop and was about to call Jin He, she saw a familiar figure.

She took a closer look and quickly recognized him as Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan couldn’t believe it was her and walked over, but stopped two meters away from her, tremblingly pointing at her, “Bai Wantong!”

Wan Tong had no good feelings towards him, so she turned to leave.

However, Zheng Fan looked around and quickly blocked her way, his suspicious eyes scanning her up and down, “Are you really Bai Wantong?”

After all, the girl in front of him looked exactly the same as Bai Wantong ten years ago. Her face was too young and immature.

Wan Tong lowered her eyes and calmly replied, “No.”

Leaving behind Bai Wantong’s old life might not be a bad thing after all.

Zheng Fan showed an “I knew it” expression and pointed at her face, asking, “So, did Yu Cheng make you look like this?”

Wan Tong didn’t answer, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“What was your original name? Do you need me to help you leave Yu Cheng?” Zheng Fan hinted.

Wan Tong noticed the resentment flashing in his eyes and asked, “How can you help me?”

Zheng Fan wanted to say something else, but his phone seemed to vibrate, and then he hastily handed her a business card before leaving.

Wan Tong looked at the card, not recognizing the name.

After a while, Jin He walked over, “Miss Wantong, I’m sorry, something happened just now.”

Wan Tong shook her head, “It’s okay, let’s go back.”

When she looked down at the direction Zheng Fan had left, her gaze became intriguing.

“President Yu, the person monitoring Zheng Fan has sent some news.” Qian Le walked into the office and spoke to Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng’s black eyes turned to him, indicating him to continue.

Qian Le placed a stack of photos on his desk, “Zheng Fan had no contact with Bai Wanxin, but today, Bai Wanxin made an appointment with Miss Wantong, and Zheng Fan also took the initiative to approach Miss Wantong.”

The photos clearly showed Wan Tong and Bai Wanxin meeting in a cafe, as well as the scene where Wan Tong coincidentally encountered Zheng Fan.

Seeing the photos of Wan Tong and Zheng Fan, Yu Cheng’s body temperature dropped instantly, and a layer of thin ice seemed to form in his eyes as he crumpled the photos into a ball.

Qian Le silently watched, feeling sorry for Zheng Fan. Wasn’t Zheng Fan looking for death by doing this?

However, Qian Le still had some doubts, such as why Yu Cheng had someone monitor Bai Wanxin.

“President Yu, is Bai Wanxin a problem?” Qian Le asked.

Yu Cheng didn’t answer but asked back, “Have you investigated everyone who’s had contact with her recently?”

Qian Le nodded, “Yes, we’ve checked. She had a secret relationship with Zhou Jiang, but they broke up recently. Everything else is normal. President Yu, should we continue monitoring her?”

Qian Le had always thought that Bai Wanxin had a crush on President Yu, but he didn’t expect that she had been secretly with Zhou Jiang all along. He didn’t know if she had learned any secrets about President Yu from Zhou Jiang.

“Keep watching.”

“Then, Zheng Fan…?”

Yu Cheng tightly pursed his lips, not responding, but Qian Le could perceive his thoughts.
