"Honey, no one will talk about me, don't worry. Even if people do, I'll be happy as long as you're by my side." He Muchen gently rubbed Zhou Rui's head.
"But you promised me that we wouldn't be too intimate in public, that you wouldn't call me 'wife,' and that I wouldn't call you 'husband.'"
"Okay, I won't call you that then. Can I hug you for a bit?" He Muchen looked at Zhou Rui with a pitiful expression.
Zhou Rui nodded. He might as well hug her for a bit. There was no one else around, and he wanted to be held by He Muchen; it would make him feel more at ease.
"By the way, wife, no, Rui Rui, what did you come to see me for? Did you just miss your husband?" He Muchen asked with a happy smile.
Zhou Rui broke free from He Muchen's embrace, almost letting He Muchen's good looks lead him astray.
"Have you placed Li Tiantian under house arrest?" Zhou Rui asked suspiciously.
He Muchen's smile vanished instantly, and he said guiltily, "How could I possibly imprison a living person like Li Tiantian?"
“What I said is true. Sister Hong begged me to talk to you about releasing Li Tiantian because the company urgently needs her.”
"The company has other makeup artists, right? It's not like we can't live without Li Tiantian." He Muchen forced a smile onto his face.
“But Sister Hong said you have a way to get Li Tiantian back to the company now. Mu Chen, can you help Sister Hong? She seems very anxious.”
Zhou Rui glanced at He Muchen tentatively in a low voice, because he wasn't sure if He Muchen would listen to what he said.
"How about I make a call and see?" He Muchen said helplessly.
He originally wanted the aunt to lock her up for ten days or so, but she had her eye on my wife and even introduced her to potential partners.
Zhou Rui smiled and nodded, hoping he could help Sister Hong release Li Tiantian.
He Muchen ruffled his hair, then took his phone and went to the side to call his aunt. He walked up to Zhou Rui with a smile and said, "I've already called. I reckon Li Tiantian will be back at the company soon."
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen with an admiring gaze. Is this what a domineering CEO from a wealthy family looks like in TV dramas? He can solve everything with just one phone call.
"What's going on in your little head?" He Muchen gently tapped his forehead.
Zhou Rui, who was in a daze, came to his senses: "How did you manage to release Li Tiantian with just one phone call? Could it be that you really locked Li Tiantian up?"
"Baby, you watch too many TV dramas. Locking people up is illegal, and I won't do anything illegal."
"Then how did you manage to call Li Tiantian back to the company with just one phone call? Is it because she listens to you? Or..." Zhou Rui asked疑惑地.
"She's been put in solitary confinement by her mother. I'm on good terms with her mother, and she treats me like her own son, so I asked the aunt to let her come back to work first," He Muchen explained with a smile.
"Her mother is really good to you, I'm envious."
He Muchen stroked Zhou Rui's hair and said gently, "It seems my mother-in-law likes me quite a bit too."
"What should I do? I'm more popular with moms."
When Zhou Rui heard He Muchen say this, he immediately thought of the way Ms. Lin Yi looked at He Muchen; she loved He Muchen even more than her son.
"Yes, my mom likes you too. How come you're so popular with my mom? I not only have to worry about young girls competing with me for my husband, but also about a bunch of moms competing with me for my husband. Sigh! I wonder if I'll have to compete with guys for my husband soon too."
"How did I end up with such a lovable boyfriend?!"
Zhou Rui sighed and laughed. He was so happy right now, he was almost going crazy with joy!
He Muchen affectionately pinched Zhou Rui's chubby cheeks: "Because you're cute!"
He Muchen looked at Zhou Rui, whose cheek he had pinched, smiling sweetly at him, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss his soft red lips.
...
"Mu Chen, how's your new song coming along?"
"Uh, sorry to bother you, please continue..." The agent, Sister Hong, slammed the door she had opened shut shut again.
Zhou Rui awkwardly snuggled into He Muchen's arms, shyly saying, "It's all your fault! I told you not to hug or kiss me in public..."
"Oh dear! If Sister Hong sees this, she'll definitely criticize me, accuse me of seducing you, and kick me out of the company."
He Muchen smiled and stroked his smooth hair: "No, Sister Hong knows. She knows I like you and want to pursue you."
"I just didn't expect to win you over so quickly."
Zhou Rui stood up straight from He Muchen's arms in surprise: "How did Sister Hong know?"
"You forgot? When we bought pastries, we became a trending topic. Sister Hong contacted me, and I told her then that I like you, want to pursue you, and want to date you." He Muchen pinched Zhou Rui's upturned nose.
Zhou Rui had completely forgotten that he was still feeling lightheaded, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"Couldn't you explain that matter to Sister Hong? How did it come to involve liking me?" Zhou Rui asked, puzzled.
“I didn’t want to say this, but Sister Hong wanted you to work as Zhou Yuzhi’s assistant. I didn’t want to. I asked Sister Hong to arrange another assistant for Zhou Yuzhi. How could I let my wife work behind the person who used to have his walls covered with posters?”
"What if you spend too much time with Zhou Yuzhi and you start to like him? Then I won't have a wife."
"So I told Sister Hong that I like her and that she can only be my assistant."
Zhou Rui listened blankly as he listened to his explanation. This wasn't an explanation; it was clearly a confession. He was telling him that he was his alone, belonging only to him.
Wow, this is so possessive, I love it.
"Would you believe me if I said that the person who used to have walls covered with Zhou Yuzhi posters wasn't me?"
Zhou Rui asked hesitantly, because it really wasn't him before; it was just another Zhou Rui who liked Zhou Yuzhi, but he liked He Muchen, and it wasn't just liking, it was love.
At first, He Muchen was a little confused when he heard this question, but he believed that Zhou Rui loved him now. Who cared who he liked before? He only cared that Zhou Rui in front of him liked him now.
He Muchen smiled gently, ruffling his cute little tuft of hair: "I believe you."
When Zhou Rui heard this letter and saw the sincerity in He Muchen's eyes, he was very happy. Even if nothing in this world was real, the love that his soul had for him was real.
Zhou Rui tiptoed slightly and gently kissed his lips: "He Muchen, I love you."
He Muchen was charmed by him, a long-lost blush appeared on his face, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he hugged his waist: "Can you say it again?"
Zhou Rui hooked her arms around his neck and whispered gently in his ear, "He Muchen, I love you."
