Shen Qingyue smiled. âYou want to keep company? I didnât want to disturb you⦠Well, alright then, Iâll stay as long as you want.â
Chen Ying had not figured out how to face Chen Song. She had been sneaking out in the mornings.
After Shen Qingyue settled Chen Ying, she headed to work and promptly received a call from Chen Song. She responded directly, âYing Ying is with me this time. She came over early this morning and said she wants to stay with me for a few days.â
Chen Song fell silent for a while. âI see.â
âSo, what are your plans moving forward?â Shen Qingyue pondered for a moment before asking. She wasnât one to meddle, but she had already missed one chance to intervene in Chen Yingâs affairs; she could not afford to let her attention sway now.
âI⦠donât know for now.â He had initially planned to quietly watch over her. But the events of last night had caught him off guard, and he did not know how to handle the situation anymore. He understood Chen Yingâs intentions â she wanted to forget. But how could he forget? She had been his thoughts and desires for so many years⦠The image of her delicate appearance in his arms from last night surged back into his mind, along with the warmth it brought.
He steadied his thoughts and continued, âRest assured, Iâll take responsibility. But before that, both she and I need some time to cool off. I entrust Ying Ying to you during this period.â
âDonât worry.â Shen Qingyue hung up the phone. Then, another text message came in.
Tang Fangmo: [Shen Qingyue, Iâm on a flight back to the country at five this afternoon. Come pick me up, dammit!]
Tang Fangmo was Shen Qingyueâs cousin from her auntâs side, her first cousin. Her motherâs family was not from a wealthy background, but they were intellectuals â all teachers. However, Tang Fangmo had taken a different path and become a big star, even since his days as a child actor. His showbiz career had grown increasingly successful. A few years ago, he went abroad for filming and now was an internationally renowned superstar. He had recently found time to return to the country.
When they were young, Tang Fangmo often carried the money he earned from acting behind his parentsâ backs to buy gifts and food for her. Their relationship was very good from an early age. However, in recent years, Tang Fangmo was busy with filming, and sometimes had to be in seclusion, so their contact had decreased. But the blood relationship between them remained unchanged.
[Just wait, Iâll come pick you up. Cover your face well, I donât want to be attacked by your fans.]
After replying to Shen Qingyueâs message, Shen Qingyue focused on her work. She was ready to leave work early to pick him up.
The news of Tang Fangmoâs return somehow leaked out, or the fans found out. The airport was full of fans. Shen Qingyue couldnât squeeze her way in and could only find a place for Tang Fangmo to find her on his own.
By the time he came out dragging a suitcase, more than an hour had passed, and there was a frenzy of fans behind him.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyue quickly got into the car, taking him away. She didnât want to wait for another hour.
Tang Fangmo put on sunglasses and a mask. Sweat covered his handsome face. âWhy didnât you come in to find me? Look at the location you sent me. I had to search around with a suitcase. I was almost swallowed by fans. Do you know how exhausting it is to be chased by a group of people?â He deliberately kept his itinerary secret, hoping to slip away quietly. Who would have thought that fans still found out, and he almost got mobbed.
âIâm also afraid of being surrounded if I go in. Should I take you home first?â Shen Qingyue said, stepping on the gas pedal.
âLetâs eat first, Iâm hungry. My parents are out of town for a meeting, so Iâll be alone at home.â Tang Fangmo lazily lay in the passenger seat.
Shen Qingyue glanced at him. âArenât you afraid of being photographed by reporters?â
âDonât worry, I just got back today. Reporters wonât be here so soon,â Tang Fangmo said with great confidence.
Shen Qingyue chose to believe him for now, but the result was that on that very evening, the headline âTang Fangmo Returns Home and Shares Dinner with Girlfriendâ started trending!
Shen Qingyue looked at her own face, clearly visible without pixelation, on the trending topic. She was speechless.
Netizens exploded with their gossip and comments.
[What is this? Did I suddenly wake up? Shen Qingyue is Tang Fangmoâs girlfriend?]
[No way, I just started shipping her with that guy from the fashion showâ¦] [Iâm in an even worse situation. I ship her with the wealthy young master.]
[What should I do? My wife changes boyfriends as often as she changes clothes. What am I supposed to doâ¦]
[Is this the joy of being a rich woman?]
[Why do I feel like these two have such a couple vibe? Theyâre so in sync.]
Chen Ying burst out laughing when she saw these messages. They were siblings, could they not look alike? She looked at Shen Qingyue. âShould I get someone to manipulate the trending topic?â
âNo need, Brother Mo t s studio will handle it. We donât need to interfere,â Shen Qingyue did not want to disrupt his plans, so she did not say anything..
