Chapter Fifty-Five: A Long-Planned Kiss
Fu Hengzhi stood at the door of the private room, his chest heaving violently.
Those peach blossom eyes, which always gazed at Zhou Mengying with affection, were now churning with shock, betrayal, and raging fury.
The deafening music in the private room stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him in horror.
The drunkenness and smugness on Zhou Mengying's face froze instantly, all color draining from her face. "Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have heard my Ying'er deliver such a wonderful speech?"
Fu Hengzhi walked into the private room step by step, his cold gaze fixed on her.
He came because he was afraid she was too heartbroken, and he wanted to comfort her and tell her that even if the Zhou family went bankrupt, he was still willing to give her someone to rely on.
The result was a message that made him overturn all his previous decisions!
"A gold-plated invitation? A pink diamond worth hundreds of millions? So you broke off the engagement not because you were forced by the Huo Group, but because you were trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Huo family in Kyoto, and in your eyes I was nothing more than a lapdog?"
With each question he asked, he took a step closer.
The oppressive aura emanating from him caused the wealthy young ladies around him to flee in panic!
Zhou Mengying panicked. If she angered the young master of Jiangcheng and was arrested, how could she go to the capital? Wouldn't her dream of becoming a top-tier socialite be shattered?
She rolled her eyes, quickly finding a way, her eyes reddening as she said resentfully, "Fu Hengzhi, do you still have the right to question me? Do you think I don't know what you did to me?"
Fu Hengzhi laughed sinisterly: "What have I done to you? I've treated you like a precious gem, pampering you like an ancestor!"
"What ancestors?" Zhou Mengying straightened her back and accused through gritted teeth, "For the past three years, I asked you to punish Su Muci, but you called her name while you were fast asleep! You betrayed me first!"
"W-what did you say?"
Fu Hengzhi looked at Zhou Mengying in disbelief.
Zhou Mengying squeezed out two tears at the opportune moment: "What, you won't admit it? They say what you think about during the day, you dream about at night, but I heard my fiancé calling out another woman's name in my dream. And that woman is none other than the despicable woman who hurt me and ruined me!"
"So what if I don't love Huo Zhan? At least I can get wealth and status from him! So what if I love you? All I get from you is betrayal!"
"Didn't you dream about her all the time? Fu Hengzhi, I'm setting you free! I wish you and Su Muci eternal happiness!"
After saying this bitterly, Zhou Mengying left Fu Hengzhi, whose body was stiff, and ran out while crying.
The moment she stepped out of the private room, Zhou Mengying curled her lips into a smile: Fu Hengzhi, compared to Huo Zhan, you are nothing. Wasn't Su Muci trying to climb to the top radio station in Jiangcheng just to get the position you worked so hard for? Consider this dog I don't want anymore, I'm giving it to her!
Su Muchi, forever and ever, only deserves to pick up what I don't want!
From now on, you two will just watch me become a top-tier Mrs. Huo in Kyoto, and then you'll both grovel at my feet and serve me like slaves!
Zhou Mengying left triumphantly.
Fu Hengzhi stood frozen in place, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
Zhou Mengying's accusations still echoed in my ears.
In his dream, did he unconsciously call out Su Muci's name?
Zhou Mengying left, and he should have chased after her to explain, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He even felt incredibly relieved that Zhou Mengying was gone.
Could it really be as Zhou Mengying said, that in these three years, no matter how much he outwardly disliked that woman, he had already subconsciously fallen in love with someone else?
Just then, my phone chimed softly, and the screen lit up with a live stream notification from the platform.
[The streamer "SuSu" you follow will be live tonight at 8:00 PM. Make your reservation now!]
Fu Hengzhi's heart skipped a beat, his fingers trembled slightly, and he clicked on the notification, setting an alarm for her live stream.
"Su Muci".
He murmured the name, his eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.
"Let me verify this one last time. Now that I know your identity, if I do fall for you during this live stream..."
"I hereby officially grant you permission to be my woman!"
...
On the other side, at the Yunjing Mansion villa.
Su Muci looked at the live stream announcement she had posted on her phone, her mind heavy.
Just as Fu Hengzhi said, her illness began to flare up.
She didn't want Huo Zhan to see her at her most vulnerable. Perhaps, interacting with fans tonight could help alleviate her physical discomfort.
Suddenly, the sound of brakes came from outside the villa!
Su Muci suddenly sat up from the bedside. Huo Zhan had returned!
Huo Zhanbian walked into the villa, making a phone call.
Seeing Su Muci coming downstairs, he quickly hung up the phone and walked towards her.
"Sorry, I had something to do today and just finished up."
As they spoke, Huo Zhan looked Su Muci up and down.
The weather wasn't cold, but she wore a quilted overcoat, wrapping herself up tightly.
Are you sick?
As he approached, Su Muci immediately raised her hand to stop him: "Mr. Huo, can we talk?"
Huo Zhan sensed that she seemed more distant than before, frowned, but didn't ask any further questions.
The two people sat down on the sofa facing each other.
Su Muci took out a three-point agreement, "Would you like to take a look?"
Huo Zhan took it and quickly saw the first rule: [Do not enter the other person's room without permission.]
The maid stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo just moved all her clothes into the second bedroom..."
Huo Zhan looked at Su Muci: "You're not sleeping in the master bedroom? My family will be suspicious if they find out."
Su Muci lowered her head: "Mr. Huo, I will cooperate with everything outside, but inside the villa, shouldn't we keep to ourselves? After all, it's just a contractual relationship, and you..."
He still had other women in his heart, and she was aware of that.
"In any case, this is good for all of us."
Huo Zhan narrowed his eyes, thinking that she might not be used to it yet, and agreed for the time being: "Okay."
Anyway, besides the rooms, there are plenty of places to do things.
For example, in the car, study, swimming pool, gym, and even the rooftop terrace...
He then looked at the second rule: [After 8 PM, do not discuss anything unrelated to work.]
Are we not allowed to communicate at night?
Only during the day?
He chuckled dryly. "Mrs. Huo, did something happen while I was away? Why are you suddenly so wary of me?"
Su Muci subconsciously pulled her coat tighter around herself and said in a low voice, "Living under the same roof can easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. Let's just talk about work tonight..."
She was more worried that one day her condition would get out of control, and if she went into his room or into his bed, would he change his attitude to that of Fu Hengzhi? Would he despise her? Insult her?
With this agreement, she has at least one more constraint on herself.
"May I?"
Su Muci looked up and met his gaze, her eyes pleading.
Huo Zhan's Adam's apple bobbed. "Okay."
That's all for now. We'll find a way later!
He then looked at the third rule: [When dealing with social needs, do not exceed the boundaries of kissing.]
His deep eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions and simply picked up the pen.
After signing, he handed it to Su Muci: "I agree to everything."
Su Muci's heart sank when she saw how readily he agreed.
Sure enough, he had someone else in his heart, so he didn't care at all.
Alright, let's just treat each other with the same respect as guests.
The moment she lowered her head to sign, the maids around her quietly withdrew.
When she came to her senses, she found a powerful masculine aura approaching.
Startled, she looked up and realized that Huo Zhan had appeared beside her at some point!
"Mr. Huo, is there something you need?"
As soon as Su Muci asked the question, he suddenly leaned down, bracing himself against the back of the sofa behind her with one hand, his strong body instantly trapping her in a small space!
Their warm breaths mingled uncontrollably.
"Mr. Huo! You just signed the three-point agreement!"
Su Muci's voice betrayed her unease.
Three rules? Speaking of three rules, Huo Zhanzhen was a little angry.
Did you go to great lengths to coax her into getting a marriage certificate just to keep your distance from her?
His long, slender fingers gently tapped her chin.
“Mrs. Huo, this is not a room. It’s 7:50 now, and…”
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on her trembling lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily: "Just kissing, within the agreed limits, is there a problem?"
"?!"
Su Muchi's pupils contracted.
Before he could say anything more, his burning lips pressed against his!
