Late night, in a room.
The morning sunlight scattered on the wooden floor. Fu Jinchen frowned as he opened his eyes. When he saw Chu Liang lying in his arms, he couldn't help but smile.
To be able to see his most beloved awaken was such a blissful thing.
Chu Liang furrowed his brows, as if he was about to wake up. Fu Jinchen was startled and immediately closed his eyes.
Chu Liang simply turned over and found the most comfortable position to lean into Fu Jinchen's embrace with his eyes closed.
Fu Jinchen held his breath as he opened his eyes. His phone suddenly rang. Due to his guilty conscience, Fu Jinchen quietly got up from the bed, picked up his phone and left the room.
When he saw Roger's name flashing above it, his whole body was filled with rage.
This Roger just happened to call at this time!
"Hello." Fu Jinchen unhappily picked up the phone, "If it wasn't something very important, I would have killed you."
Roger coughed to hide his embarrassment and whispered, "Chief Fu, there's a charity dinner tonight. Will you be attending?"
Fu Jinchen wanted to refuse out of habit, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped Roger, "I will be there with my female companion."
"What?" Roger was a little surprised. He regained his senses for a second and then coughed dryly. "Ok, I will arrange it."
Fu Jinchen pushed the door open and returned to his room, only to see Chu Liang sitting by the window, looking out. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Even though he heard the sound, Chu Liang didn't turn his head. Fu Jinchen walked closer and followed Chu Liang's gaze. He realized that she was looking at the people who were practicing in the morning at the residential complex.
"Go ahead." Chu Liang raised his head and looked at Fu Jinchen, his gaze unwavering. "Should I reject Xia Jingyang completely?"
Fu Jinchen pursed his lips but didn't say anything. Chu Liang stared at him for a long time before chuckling, "Director Fu, why did I wake up in your room?"
Fu Jinchen opened his mouth but no sound came out. Chu Liang covered the corner of his lips with his index finger, "No need for that."
Chu Liang put on Fu Jinchen's coat and left the room. He had a carefree look on his face, as if nothing had happened between him and Fu Jinchen last night.
Fu Jinchen stood rooted to the ground for a very long time. After closing the door, Chu Liang exhaled a breath of air and placed his hand on his beating heart.
The more excited he was, the calmer his expression became. He was probably someone like Chu Liang.
Chu Liang returned to his room and began to clean himself. Before long, someone knocked on his door.
Chu Liang walked to the door while suppressing his beating heart. He took a deep breath and opened the door. When he saw Fu Jinchen, he asked calmly, "Chief Fu, do you have any instructions?"
Fu Jinchen looked Chu Liang up and down, then coughed dryly and said, "Accompany me to the charity banquet tonight."
"Yes." Chu Liang nodded his head in acknowledgement. Initially, he thought it was a simple task for the bodyguards, but he didn't expect Fu Jinchen to continue, "It's not as a bodyguard, but as my companion."
"What?" Chu Liang froze for a moment. He looked at Fu Jinchen in disbelief. After staring at Chu Liang for a long while, Fu Jinchen pursed his lips and asked, "You're not willing?"
Chu Liang only felt his heartbeat quicken as he lowered his head to deny it, "No."
"Just pack up and come out. I'll take you somewhere."
Chu Liang quickly changed into a new set of clothes and walked out. Today, she was the one driving the car, while Fu Jinchen pointed out the location from the passenger seat.
Chu Liang drove over. When he arrived at the entrance, he realized that Fu Jinchen had brought her to a styling shop.
Chu Liang stopped the car and pushed Fu Jinchen in. When the shop manager saw Fu Jinchen, he was extremely surprised, "Boss Fu, how did you find the time to come over here?"
Fu Jinchen smiled and pointed to Chu Liang behind him, "Could I trouble you to design her for me to attend the banquet with me tonight."
The manager revealed a meaningful smile. "You've never brought a female companion with you. What's the matter this time?"
Fu Jinchen smiled, but did not say anything. The shop manager affectionately held onto Chu Liang's wrist and said, "This young lady's background is not bad. She has potential."
Chu Liang was so uncomfortable that he wanted to retract his hand, but the shop manager pulled him into the locker room. Fu Jinchen watched Chu Liang's disappearing back as he rolled over to the resting area, picked up a magazine and started reading.
It was the first time that Fu Jinchen had the feeling of waiting for someone. He changed his clothes and walked out. After a few hours had passed, Chu Liang still hadn't come out. He kept raising his head to look.
"Coming, coming." The shop manager's voice suddenly attracted Fu Jinchen's gaze.
Chu Liang was wearing a light blue dress, showing off her elegant temperament. Her long hair was done in waves, giving her a feminine air, and her feet were covered in string sandals. The bit of makeup on her face was enough to dazzle the eyes, but her walking pace …
Fu Jinchen noticed that Chu Liang was lost in thought. When he came back to his senses and saw her walking away, he could not help but chuckle. "What's wrong?"
Chu Liang tugged at his skirt and said uncomfortably, "I feel a bit uncomfortable."
"Just get used to it." Fu Jinchen said with a smile. He looked up at the shop manager and blinked, "Well done."
The manager also winked at Fu Jinchen and said, "It's rare for Director Fu to bring a friend here. Of course, you have to be the brightest star here."
Fu Jinchen smiled. Chu Liang walked over and held the wheelchair's handle, giving her a bit more sense of security. It also allowed her to walk with her high heels more calmly.
The door to the store was pushed open and Roger saw that the transformed Chu Liang was stunned for a few seconds before giving him a thumbs up, "I didn't think that Miss Chu would be so beautiful."
Chu Liang was rather embarrassed by the praise. In addition, her dress was even a sling. She was always worried that the sling would break.
Chu Liang was already used to being dressed so it was easy for him to move around. Thus, he started to worry about today.
Roger drove Chu Liang and Fu Jinchen to the banquet site. Although they didn't enter, through the open door, Chu Liang could already see the glittering and dazzling banquet hall.
She had appeared at numerous banquets at Jane's house, but this was the first time she had appeared together with someone's girlfriend.
Chu Liang couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Fu Jinchen and saw him looking out of the window.
"Director Fu, please get off." Roger arranged the wheelchair. Fu Jinchen nodded, and with the support of Roger, he got off the wheelchair.
Chu Liang lifted his skirt and got out of the car. After thinking for a while, he took Fu Jinchen's wheelchair and smiled at Roger, "Let me do it."
Roger nodded his head. Chu Liang pushed Fu Jinchen in step by step. When Fu Jinchen entered the banquet, all sorts of lights were lit up.
"Boss Fu actually brought a female companion to attend the banquet today?"
All kinds of discussions rang in his ears. Chu Liang's steps wavered slightly. Fu Jinchen placed his hand on the back of her hand and patted it a few times in consolation.
Chu Liang took in a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was firm.
No matter what, he was here.
