"Thank you," he whispered gratefully in Lü Ke's ear.

Zhang Tongzhou was deeply touched that Lü Ke would speak up for him, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness at being protected.

Lu Ke glanced at President Zhang, who was thanking her in a fit of madness, with a puzzled look.

What did she do to him?

Shen Xuan was surrounded and attacked, and his face immediately darkened.

When has a domineering CEO ever been refuted like this?

"I'm not happy." He pressed his gloomy face against Shen Wangshu's shoulder and looked at the scene in the play. It was a scene of heavy snow falling in winter, where Meng Fangfei was falsely accused and banished to the Cold Palace by the Emperor. Shen Wangshu, the Noble Consort, was wearing a bright red fox fur cloak and standing outside the Cold Palace with its gates tightly closed.

The dilapidated and gloomy palace walls were bright only because of her.

She stood outside the palace walls, coldly mocking her former friend inside, whose clothes were tattered. She ridiculed how her foolish conscience had been trampled upon in this harem, how it had ruined her. She laughed at her naivety, disgusted by her hypocrisy in the cannibalistic harem, but tears slowly rolled down her cheeks in the flickering flames.

Two former best friends, one leaning against the palace gate in the cold palace, listening quietly, and the other standing outside the palace wall, coldly shedding tears.

Separated by a wall.

So close yet so far.

She turned and left, her fiery red cloak swirling in the wind and snow in a commanding arc.

She left behind many warm clothes and charcoal, telling her that it was so that she could live and see how she, without any conscience, had risen to the top in the harem.

She didn't say a single kind word, but netizens have already started flooding the screen with comments.

"Director Song did a great job." To make the Consort walk more gracefully and elegantly, when Shen Wangshu turned around, a huge fan was blowing on her; otherwise, how could that cloak sway so gracefully and grandly? Shen Wangshu thought Director Song was quite good at evoking emotions. She was smiling at Shen Xuan when she saw him coldly shut down his computer.

"I'm unhappy." What kind of nonsense is this! President Shen hates Director Song to death.

If Director Song were right in front of him, President Shen would have already taken his 20 million!

"Actually, this is fine too." Zhang Tongzhou himself did not approve of Shen Wangshu and Shen Xuan showing off their affection in front of the public so often. It wasn't because the public didn't like to see it, nor because Shen Xuan wasn't famous enough, but because this was in the entertainment industry.

There are always too many breakups and makeups in the entertainment industry. Today they love each other like a blazing fire, and tomorrow they will break up and never see each other again.

Zhang Tongzhou had seen too much, so he didn't want Shen Wangshu's marriage to leave a mark on the public's mind.

Otherwise, what will happen when today's displays of affection end and the love fades? It will only create an awkward situation for both parties, and might even lead people to lament, "I don't believe in love anymore." Furthermore, if they do divorce, Shen Wangshu will likely be labeled a "discarded wife of a wealthy family."

As for temptations, Shen Wangshu was one thing, but Shen Xuan was a wealthy man of high status who had encountered countless women.

Perhaps, one day Mr. Shen will realize that his infatuation with the vixen was just a passing passion, and that what he actually prefers is simple, plain food.

Although his initial motives for signing Shen Wangshu were not pure, now that Shen Wangshu is an artist under his management, he has a responsibility to protect her image.

"The rumors are all fake, the two of us are the real ones." Shen Wangshu smiled and touched Shen Xuan's face.

She leaned in and nibbled on his ear, then slightly pulled away and looked at Shen Xuan.

The handsome, silent man's expression softened considerably.

"Good boy." Shen Wangshu hugged Shen Xuan's big head, kissed him again, and smiled, "This is a reward for you."

"I mean..." This insane display of affection is blinding! Meng Fangfei was scrolling through her phone, looking at her Weibo posts where fans were raving about their "true love," when she looked up and saw the two of them all sticking together again. Her lips twitched slightly, and without a word, she stepped forward and snapped a picture.

She then uploaded a long and indignant message.

"President Shen is unhappy, and Shu Shu is comforting him. What happened to your promise that you truly love Consort Shu?" In the photo, Shen Wang Shu, her eyes full of affection, is soothingly kissing the forehead of a handsome man reclining on the sofa. Under the light, the unmistakable love in the man's eyes is clearly evident.

He held the arms of the beautiful woman on top of him with both hands and pressed his face against her hands.

Mr. Shen seemed very well-behaved.

It must be said that Meng Fangfei's series of candid shots are quite technical.

At least on Weibo, fans of the couple were lamenting their fate, but more people were interested in the Shen Wangshu couple.

Some people also said that President Shen is very cute.

So cute?!

Zhang Tongzhou was also reading the comments on Meng Fangfei's latest Weibo post that seemed to suggest she was going into prostitution, and he immediately sneered.

Is this cute? This CEO is so domineering and cold, what are these stupid fans looking at?!

However, some more discerning fans believe that Meng Fangfei and Shen Wangshu might actually be in love.

Haven't you noticed that Meng Fangfei has practically become Shen Wangshu's official spokesperson for showing off their affection?

Shen Wangshu's own Weibo account is almost silent, but all the posts showing their affection were uploaded by Meng Fangfei.

What does this mean?

It must be because Miss Meng is watching Shen Wangshu all the time; she knows everything she does!

Decisiveness is true love!

In particular, Meng Fangfei, perhaps out of some wicked sense of humor, quietly gave a "like" to the post under the "True Love" section.

Thankfully, President Shen had his eyes closed, his head resting on Shen Wangshu's lap, letting her smile as she stroked his hair. Otherwise, if he had seen this, he would have definitely gone back and bankrupted Meng Fangfei... and forbidden her from playing the second female lead in Director Song's movie! As an investor, President Shen had to have this kind of domineering presence.
