As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten with a pale, fish-belly white.
In the hotel's presidential suite, Chu Liyue sat elegantly against the headboard, holding Xiao Wujie in her arms, whose eyelashes trembled slightly and whose brows were furrowed.
The presidential suite has excellent soundproofing, but you can still faintly hear noises coming from outside the hotel.
Chu Liyue put two earplugs in Xiao Wujie's ears, gently smoothed his furrowed brows with her fingers, and placed delicate, soft kisses on his ear.
"Sleep peacefully, sweetie!"
With patient, gentle kisses and soft, soothing words, Xiao Wujie finally fell into a deep sleep again.
Looking at his deathly pale face, and gently smoothing out his hand with the IV drip, Chu Liyue couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brows.
Xiao Wujie's body was too weak. He had been running around all afternoon without rest yesterday, and then she punished him severely by pinning him to the bed last night.
She was awakened by the heat in her arms that night and found that Xiao Wujie's body was unusually hot and his cheeks were flushed with an unnatural blush.
Her slender, warm hand covered his forehead, the heat emanating from his palm almost scorching her hand.
Because it was nighttime, the doctor arrived a little late, and when the thermometer touched his forehead, it showed an alarming 39.6.
Because of his high fever, Xiao Wujie slept very restlessly. Although he was so tired that he was completely unconscious, his breathing was heavy due to physical discomfort, and his fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.
I received a fever-reducing injection and was put on an IV drip. The fever finally subsided at four in the morning, and I was finally able to sleep peacefully.
During the time Xiao Wujie was sick with a fever, several news items instantly topped the headlines of the entire capital city, even at night.
"Former siblings, suddenly became lovers."
"The most beautiful woman in the capital, Chu Liyue, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, has a boyfriend who turns out to be her younger brother whom she raised herself."
"Miss Chu Liyue has been single for many years, and her first love was actually the younger brother she raised."
"A legendary romance between an older woman and a younger man has emerged in Zhongxiu, the capital city!"
...
In addition to the title and article, there are several pictures.
There were scenes of Chu Liyue carrying Xiao Wujie into a hotel; and scenes of Chu Liyue with her arm around Xiao Wujie's waist while shopping.
There are photos of Chu Liyue carrying Xiao Wujie in a shopping mall; and photos of Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie wearing matching outfits to a banquet.
The most exciting scene was on that sofa, where Xiao Wujie was kissing Chu Liyue with cake in his mouth.
Chu Liyue was originally only extremely famous in the upper-class circles, but she later entered the public eye after the downfall of Rongguang Group (see Chapter 15). Now she has completely become a top star in China and a national diva.
Just after settling Xiao Wujie in, Chu Liyue received a call from the company's public relations department informing her of the news.
She was quite surprised and casually clicked on the Toutiao trending topics, only to find that this news had occupied nearly half of the top 50 spots on the trending topics list.
If the news of Rongguang's downfall, Chu Feihong's attack and admission to the ICU, and Chu Feihong being the behind-the-scenes boss of Rongguang Group caused a sensation, then the news about her and Xiao Wujie ignited the entire scene.
She immediately instructed the public relations department to remove the trending topic from the search results, and then immediately tried to move Xiao Wujie to another hotel. If nothing unexpected happened, the place would soon be surrounded by crowds.
Public opinion is a double-edged sword; it can reveal the truth, but it can also distort the facts in an instant.
When public opinion forms a powerful current, whether it is a voice of justice or unfounded accusations, it can have an immeasurable impact on the parties involved.
She was aware of the power of public opinion, but underestimated its speed of spread. Before she could even make the necessary arrangements, the entire hotel was already surrounded by people.
If it weren't for the hotel's strong security, those scoundrels outside would probably have already shoved microphones into her and Xiao Wujie's mouths by now.
The PR department has done everything it can to remove the trending topic, but the news is too explosive and has been embellished and exaggerated by those with ulterior motives, making it impossible to suppress.
As the news spread, Chu Liyue's phone rang incessantly.
Ignoring the fact that the caller ID showed her mother, Chu Liyue immediately pressed the power button.
She understood that someone was interfering, and there was no way to resolve it in the short term. She could only wait for the controversy to cool down naturally before she could concentrate her efforts to remove it completely.
Furthermore, even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't disturb the rest of my sick baby in my arms!
Everything has to wait until the baby in my arms has rested well!
With nothing to do for the moment, she gently massaged Xiao Wujie's smooth, slightly cool face while browsing related trending topics.
Clicking on a trending topic titled "Miss Chu Liyue has been single for many years, and her first love is actually the younger brother she raised herself," one is immediately struck by several sweet photos of her and Xiao Wujie.
I must say, they caught it pretty well.
The photos of her and her baby in her arms look very sweet.
Especially the photo of the little fairy and her sitting on the sofa kissing, you can even clearly see the cake crumbs on their lips.
It could be used as a lock screen cover.
What puzzled her was who had the ability to secretly take photos right under her and her baby's noses?
Her senses were far more acute than ordinary people's, and Xiao Wujie was even more skilled in extraordinary abilities, able to keenly detect even the emotional fluctuations of those around him.
What method could have allowed them to remain completely unaware?
While these so-called trending topics can have an impact on her, they are not actually negative news. They are just generated by manipulation to create a huge buzz, and once the buzz dies down, they will be automatically replaced by other things without her having to do anything.
However, this strange and subtle method made her feel uneasy, and she vaguely sensed that this matter might not be so simple.
With these thoughts in mind, she continued browsing the trending topics and observing public opinion.
As she expected, there were all sorts of opinions, which could be roughly divided into two camps: one willing to support and the other willing to criticize!
"The older sister is so cool, the younger brother is so handsome, I love it!"
Give it a thumbs up.
"My little brother is so handsome, I want to take him home!"
You can have anything in your dreams!
Wishing you both happiness, joy, and a long and happy marriage!
Thanks!
...
As for those keyboard warriors who spew nonsense and can't speak properly, she'll teach them that they can eat shit however they want, but they can't say whatever they want!
What's even more interesting is that this news not only made her a national superstar, but also propelled the unsuspecting Xiao Wujie to become a top male celebrity.
Xiao Wujie directly won several first places in the capital.
"The number one gigolo in the capital."
"The Capital's Number One Puppy Dog"
"The number one male vixen in the capital."
...
He was directly awarded the title of "Multi-Crown King of the Capital"!
There's only one second place: looks!
"Second only to my elder brother, above all others!"
The level of popularity is so high that countless unknown celebrities in the entertainment industry might not be able to achieve it even if they worked hard for a whole year.
Looking at the person nestled against her chest with such dependence, she smiled gently and placed a kiss on his lips.
“My dear, you always hide yourself in my light, but this time you can’t hide anymore.”
"Actually, there's no need to hide it. My darling deserves the best of everything in the world!"
