"No, how could you be ugly? You're so beautiful." Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly. He really had never comforted anyone before, and he didn't know how to do it.

"Then why does Xiao Rui Rui only call He Muchen 'husband' and not me, and even call me by my full name?"

"I really don't know what to call you? Can I call you Zhou Zhou, Yu Zhi...?" Zhou Rui said awkwardly.

Zhou Rui wanted to change the subject about calling He Muchen "husband," but Zhou Yuzhi persisted in asking:

"You can call me husband too, I won't be angry."

He Muchen angrily pulled Zhou Rui to his side and said coldly, "He can only call me husband."

Seeing that He Muchen was a little angry, Zhou Yuzhi realized that she might have overdone it and restrained herself.

"Little Rui Rui, can you call me Zhi Zhi from now on?"

"Zhizhi?" Zhou Rui asked, puzzled.

"Yes, my nickname is Zhizhi, or Xiao Ruirui. Please don't call me Zhou Yuzhi anymore, it sounds too formal."

"Okay, I'll call you Zhizhi from now on. Are you happier now?" Zhou Rui asked. He still wanted to appease Zhou Yuzhi as soon as possible so he could go to sleep, because he was really sleepy.

"Yes, I'm happy."

"As long as you're happy, can we rest now?" Zhou Rui asked, yawning.

"Little Rui Rui, go and get some rest," Zhou Yuzhi said with a smile.

Zhou Rui yawned as he walked toward He Muchen's room. He Muchen glanced coldly at Zhou Yuzhi and followed Zhou Rui back to his room.

Song Anqi and Zhou Yuzhi remained in the living room. Zhou Yuzhi stretched and turned to go back to her room to rest.

Song Anqi asked from behind, "Yuzhi, are you really taking this little assistant seriously?"

Zhou Yuzhi stopped and sneered, "How could that be? I just wanted to tease them. It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Chen so desperate. It's quite amusing."

"Fun? Is it? Aren't you afraid that Brother Chen will really bite you?" Song Anqi said unhappily.

He felt uncomfortable seeing Zhou Yuzhi clinging to Zhou Rui.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen won't do that. He's not that petty. I'm just trying to create some sparks between them."

"But this little assistant seems to really only have eyes for Brother Chen, which is quite enviable."

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now." Zhou Rui yawned and went into his room.

Song Anqi stared at his retreating figure with cold eyes, her inner voice screaming: You're the only one in my eyes, why can't you turn around and look at me, even just once?

The next morning, Zhou Rui arrived at the company with He Muchen and the others. Sitting at his workstation, Zhou Rui kept yawning. Xu Meng, seeing this, teased him:

"Hey, Rui Rui, you and your husband didn't do something bad all night, did you?"

Zhou Rui blushed and said awkwardly, "Mengmeng, can you be serious for once?"

“Where did I go wrong? We’re all adults, what’s wrong with talking about adult topics?”

"I just want to know how your husband is in that area, can he satisfy you?"

Zhou Rui's ears turned red from his words, because he couldn't sleep all night thinking about how He Muchen had groped him all night. Although nothing was done, he hadn't been able to sleep at all.

"Mengmeng, I don't have a husband. You're really overthinking things," Zhou Rui quickly explained, refusing to admit that he and He Muchen were dating.

"Ah! Rui Rui, why haven't you won over He Muchen yet? He's such an easy guy to get, why don't you just force yourself on him?"

Zhou Rui chuckled dryly: "Why don't you just force yourself on such an easy-to-get handsome guy?"

Xu Meng patted Zhou Rui's silly head: "Zhou Rui, have you forgotten? I don't like men."

"Also, when I said I'd win him over, it was only for you. Didn't you realize that He Muchen has feelings for you?"

Zhou Rui was secretly pleased, but he pretended to be unhappy: "Really? Where did you see that He Muchen is interested in me?"

"All the colleagues in the office can see it; his possessiveness towards you is practically overflowing."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Mengmeng, you're exaggerating."

"I'm not exaggerating at all, okay? So if you really like He Muchen, hurry up and win him over, or someone else will snatch him away."

Zhou Rui laughed and said, "How could someone steal it? If anyone's going to steal it, it'll be me who takes it home."

"Still grinning like an idiot, sigh! Hopeless."

Zhou Rui just stood there grinning foolishly, because he was secretly thrilled—he was dating his idol!

Agent Hong Jie brought Bai Xinze to visit their office area, causing a stir in the office, because Bai Xinze had become quite popular last year, and that popularity has continued to this day.

Zhou Rui grinned foolishly, not noticing Sister Hong and Bai Xinze beside her, but Bai Xinze saw him in the crowd.

Xu Meng saw Bai Xinze looking at them and nudged Zhou Rui: "Little Rui Rui, look, the company's newly signed artist, Bai Xinze, is quite well-behaved and handsome."

Upon hearing the name Bai Xinze, Zhou Rui looked up at the surrounded Bai Xinze. Their eyes met, and Bai Xinze smiled at him. Zhou Rui politely returned the smile.

Zhou Rui sighed softly, "As expected, the nation's school heartthrob is different. He really is better looking than he appears on TV."

Xu Meng, who was standing to the side, didn't hear his sigh and asked in confusion, "Little Rui Rui, what are you muttering about? I didn't hear you."

Zhou Rui smiled at her: "Didn't you say anything?"

"Oh my! Our company is going to be lively now. A handsome guy has just arrived, and look how excited they are."

"He is indeed handsome, but they are exaggerating too much," Zhou Rui said with a smile.

Xu Meng teased Zhou Rui, "They're not as exaggerated as you. They're much more restrained than you. At least they didn't call him 'handsome husband'."

"Who told them they weren't as shameless as me? Sigh! They really are much worse than me." Zhou Rui wasn't angry with Xu Meng at all, and even joked along with her.

Xu Meng pinched Zhou Rui's chubby cheeks and said, "Little Rui Rui, your shamelessness is truly beyond saving."

"What do you mean your shamelessness is beyond saving?" Bai Xinze walked to their workstations and asked with a smile.

"Holy crap, that scared me."

Xu Meng was startled by Bai Xinze. She had just seen him surrounded by his colleagues, and now he was standing in front of them in the blink of an eye while they were chatting. Did he float over? He walked without making a sound.

"I'm sorry, I scared the beautiful lady," Bai Xinze apologized gently.

Xu Meng was brought back to her senses by his gentle voice. "Ahem, it's nothing. We just didn't notice you walking in front of us."

Bai Xinze smiled gently and asked Zhou Rui softly, "Did I scare you just now?"

Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly: "No..."

In Zhou Rui's mind: Even though I was frightened by you, your gentle voice calmed me down.

"That's good. Hello, my name is Bai Xinze."

Bai Xinze smiled gently and extended his hand to Zhou Rui, wanting to shake hands and greet him.
