Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...

Chapter 914 Confession

Chu Yi entered the coffee shop and immediately spotted Fei Jie.

"You're here really early."

“I just got here too,” Fei Jie said. “This is an iced Americano for you.”

He knew his girlfriend liked iced Americano.

Chu Yi sat down and took out a gift box from his bag, saying, "This is a birthday present I bought for you. Open it and take a look."

Fei Jie opened the gift box, inside which lay an exquisite bracelet.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Chu Yi rested his chin on his hands, his face full of anticipation.

"It's beautiful. I like anything you give me." Fei Jie nodded with a smile.

“Hehe… …” Upon hearing this, Chu Yi was delighted. “When I first saw this bracelet, I thought it was beautiful. It looks beautiful on your wrist too. Don’t underestimate this simple bracelet. It’s not cheap. It’s worth millions.”

"So expensive?" Fei Jie raised an eyebrow.

"Of course... it's fake." Chu Yi dragged out the word. "I'm just an ordinary person, how could I afford a bracelet worth millions? This thing is fake, but it's said to be more real than the real thing. You can wear it and no one will find out."

"Am I amazing for being able to buy such a counterfeit product?"

Fei Jie put on the bracelet and said, "Yi Yi, you're amazing."

“That’s right!” Chu Yi raised his chin.

The two chatted idly.

Fei Jie pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Yi Yi, I want to tell you something."

"What's up?"

“Someone came looking for me yesterday.”

"Who is it? Why are you telling me this?" Chu Yi asked, blinking as he sipped his iced Americano.

"Qiao Zhenghong".

Chu Yi's voice immediately rose eight octaves: "Who?!"

“Qiao Zhenghong,” Fei Jie repeated, then explained, “currently a very popular idol in China, with a large fan base… ..."

Fei Jie recounted Qiao Zhenghong's deeds, while Chu Yi remained in a daze.

After a long while, Chu Yi slowly came to her senses, her eyes filled with hesitation: "So... you know my identity?"

"Mm." Fei Jie nodded.

In an instant, Chu Yi's thoughts were complicated.

She enjoys her current life, working every day, chatting and taking walks with Fei Jie, and doesn't want anything from the outside world to disrupt her current lifestyle.

But upon hearing those words, she knew that her life had changed.

"Then what do you want to do?" Chu Yi was at a loss for what to do. "Shall we break up?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Jie smiled and asked, "Why did we break up?"

"Huh?" Chu Yi was stunned. "Aren't you angry that I lied to you?"

"It's alright." Fei Jie shook his head. "I put myself in your shoes, and if I were in your position, I would have done the same thing."

Fei Jie was not ignorant of human relationships.

He pondered deeply all night and did not believe that there was no affection between him and Chu Yi. On the contrary, they had developed a deep affection, and Chu Yi's affection was even stronger than his.

What is the purpose of a music girl hiding her identity and dating an ordinary man?

Do you care about his academic qualifications? Do you care about his published papers? Do you care about whether he has a stable job?

Neither.

Chu Yi's relationship with him was purely based on feelings.

With this in mind, Fei Jie understood many things and his mind became much calmer.

I have the courage to appear before Chu Yi today.

Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, gritting his teeth: "Damn it! That bastard Qiao Zhenghong, I'm going to make sure he's dead."

Fei Jie smiled and said, "Do you have a conflict with Qiao Zhenghong? I saw that you two had some rumors about you a while ago."

"That bastard used me for publicity." Chu Yi didn't want to say too much about Qiao Zhenghong, so she changed the subject and asked, "Are you really not angry?"

"Don't be angry."

"That's good then." Chu Yi patted his chest.

She had imagined countless scenarios of her identity being exposed, but the results were always disastrous. However, reality was far more different than she had anticipated.

Fei Jie asked, "How did you get into the entertainment industry?"

“Hmm… …” Chu Yi stroked his chin, “I never thought about entering the entertainment industry. I just simply love music. When I was in college, I formed a band with some classmates and friends. Later, I slowly entered the music industry. Music and entertainment are inseparable, so I took a few more steps into the entertainment industry, and that’s how I ended up like this.”

If she could, she would prefer to stay in the music industry and simply make music, but things always change in ways that are beyond one's expectations.

Various forces are driving her to venture into a wider area of ​​the entertainment industry.

"Is your family very rich?"

When Fei Jie was investigating Chu Yi's information, he found that Chu Yi's agency was under the name of its legal representative, who held 100% control.

Furthermore, numerous gossip magazines have claimed that Chu Yi is a wealthy heiress or that she is being kept by someone.

Chu Yi waved his hand: "Actually, my family is not rich, just like yours. We are an ordinary family and used to live in the countryside."

"However, my brother is very capable. He has made a lot of money and changed our family's financial situation. My brother supports my music dream. He gave me the management company. I can't achieve what I have today without his help."

With his identity exposed, Chu Yi no longer concealed anything and revealed his family situation.

She already knew about Fei Jie's family, and correspondingly, Fei Jie also had the right to know about his family situation.

Fei Jie looked the music girl in front of him up and down. She was his girlfriend. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and she was lively and playful. Her black hair was smooth and draped over her shoulders, and she had shallow dimples when she smiled.

"You used to be a 'sex worker'?" He couldn't believe it.

"What? Doesn't look like it?" Chu Yi raised her beautiful eyebrows. "Before my senior year of high school, I was a well-known spirited girl in the surrounding area, as spirited as you could be."

"During my senior year of high school, I secretly ran away to Shanghai, thinking of wandering the world. In the end, my brother caught me. Fortunately, he caught me, otherwise I might have gone down a different path."

Today, when Chu Yi recalls her situation back then, she feels like slapping herself twice.

That's incredibly idiotic!

Chu Yi took off her mask, looked at her boyfriend, and asked, "So? Is there anything else you want to know?"

Fei Jie shook his head, paused, seemingly thinking of something and feeling a little embarrassed, but still asked, "So what should we do next?"

Fei Jie felt a little numb.

My girlfriend is a big star.

Many things will change. How will he explain this to his parents? How will they contribute to the purchase of a house after their marriage? And most importantly, how will Chu Yi's family view their relationship?

Chu Yi spread his hands: "You're a man, why are you asking me?"

Fei Jie fell into deep thought and said, "How about we keep it a secret for now?"

"become!"

The two opened up to each other and shared their innermost thoughts, then stopped dwelling on the matter.

Chu Yi took Fei Jie to celebrate his birthday, they ate, watched a movie, and played games in the mall, just like any other couple.

Until night fell.

Chu Yi, arm in arm with Fei Jie, tilted her head and asked, "Do you think birthdays are meaningful?"

“Yes,” Fei Jie said. “From a mathematical perspective, a birthday is the ‘origin’ on the timeline of life, a unique and definite value. In the infinite sequence of time, each birthday is like a special ‘iteration point,’ recording the trajectory of growth with the increase of age.”

He paused, then turned to look at his girlfriend: "This is the most meaningful birthday I've ever had. Thank you, Yiyi."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi smiled brightly.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'm going home."

Chu Yi then hugged Fei Jie, and then the two parted ways.

After the two figures disappeared from sight, a man wearing a baseball cap walked out, his right hand clenched into a fist: "Yay!"

"I've finally dug up a big story."

"A young female musician celebrates a stranger's birthday with unusual joy, and gives him a warm hug as she leaves... ..."

"If this news gets out, I'll be rolling in money!"

"Get promoted and receive a raise, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!"
