Min Xi was held in his arms and he gave her a tight hug.
She pressed her face against his chest. From last night to this afternoon, she had been tormented by the hot searches for the press conference. All the comforting words from others were not as reassuring as his hug.
When Min Xi raised her head, he was looking down at her.
Fu Yanzhou asked: "There were so many people at the press conference yesterday that I didn't have time to ask you. I sat in the back row behind Lu Zhen. Did you misunderstand?"
"No misunderstanding. I know you came here on purpose to try to clear up the scandal between you and Lu Zhen." This time, Min Xi did not avoid his deep eyes, looking into his eyes and said, "You don't know how happy I am when I see you."
He would never be able to experience that kind of happiness in his life.
Fu Yanzhou stared at her. There was sincerity in her eyes, unlike the day of his birthday when she looked hopeless when she explained why she covered his photo with a scarf.
The room suddenly fell into a calm and charming silence, and the feeling was hard to describe.
No one broke.
Fu Yanzhou had been bending over to hold her, but the position was uncomfortable, so he let her go: "I'm going to take a shower."
Min Xi responded to him with a "hmm" sound through her nose, and she picked up the moisturizer and continued to apply it, squeezing a full palm.
Fu Yanzhou saw that she had squeezed so much lotion into her palm that it seemed she could never finish it, so he took a pack of wet wipes from her dressing table and gave it to her.
Min Xi was confused and didn't understand why he gave her a wet wipe.
Fu Yanzhou put down the wet wipes and went to take a shower.
Min Xi was in a good mood tonight, so he carefully applied the lotion all over his body.
By the time Fu Yanzhou finished taking a shower, the lotion on her knees had not been completely absorbed.
Fu Yanzhou came out of the bathroom. His pillow and quilt were still on the sofa. He glanced at the person on the bed. Min Xi was still doing skin care. She had changed the shirt over her nightgown into his black shirt.
He took the pillows from the sofa to the bed, folded the extra quilt and took it to the cloakroom.
Nothing would be appropriate to say at this moment, and any words would be as redundant as the folded quilt.
Fu Yanzhou leaned against the head of the bed, charged his mobile phone, picked up a book and casually opened it to read.
Min Xi put away the wet tissue, moved closer to him, and rested his head on his shoulder.
Fu Yanzhou lowered his eyes, and her gaze fell on the book in his hand. He raised his hand and held her in his arms, and they read the same book together.
Min Xi was just reading the book with his eyes but his mind was not on it.
Sometimes I feel that he chose that outfit yesterday on purpose to prove to her colleagues that they have a good relationship as husband and wife, and there is no other meaning.
Then she denied this idea, thinking that he was accommodating her because he was slowly developing feelings for her.
The two thoughts pulled at each other.
"Have you finished reading this page?" The voice above her head brought her back to her senses.
Min Xi pointed to the third line from the bottom and said, "See here, right away."
Fu Yanzhou waited for her to finish reading and turned the pages. After reading three or four pages, he put the book down.
They kissed each other naturally.
…
Fu Yanzhou picked her up, and she sat astride his arms, taking him completely into her.
Min Xi wrapped his arms around his neck and took a deep breath.
The lights are still on.
Fu Yanzhou also kept looking at her.
Min Xi couldn't meet his gloomy gaze.
Fu Yanzhou supported the back of her head and pushed her down, and her lips pressed against his.
After taking a shower again, it was already midnight.
Min Xi lay down in her suspender nightgown and complained, "My legs are sore and I have to work overtime tomorrow."
Fu Yanzhou: "You don't have the stamina. I asked you to exercise but you didn't listen."
Min Xi: "As long as you have good physical strength."
Fu Yanzhou laughed, turned off the lights, and held her in his arms, "Go to sleep."
Min Xi raised his head slightly and asked him if he had paid attention to today's trending searches.
Fu Yanzhou: “I see.”
From last night to today, the screen is full of push notifications related to her, it's hard not to pay attention.
Their high school classmates were also discussing this and asked him what was going on. Chu Yi even specifically @ed him, asking why he didn't lower the popularity of the trending search.
He could only pretend he didn't see it and didn't reply.
He didn't like the marketing method that used her as a target, but he respected her plan. So even though I saw multiple trending searches online all day long, I didn't ask her much.
Min Xi was still waiting for him to say a few words of concern, but he fell silent after he said three words.
She looked up at him again: "Why don't you speak?"
"say what?"
"...There are so many trending searches related to me today, why don't you care?"
Fu Yanzhou understood that she wanted him to praise her: "The press conference received so much attention, and your marketing plan received a good response."
It seems that he too was misled.
Min Xi explained: "The content in the entry was diverted, it was not my original plan. I tried my best to stand to the side on the stage yesterday, but I was still photographed."
Fu Yanzhou looked at the person in his arms and misunderstood her. "If you encounter something like this in the future, call me and I will handle it."
"No, I can handle it myself."
Min Xi didn't want to trouble him with the company's affairs. If he solved it, he would be owing favors to others. It would be better for her to solve it with money. The money and goods would be settled in one go, and she wouldn't have to owe favors to anyone.
But he took the initiative to bring it up, and she was delighted and satisfied.
"Thank you, husband." She put her hand on his neck, gently supported it, and kissed his distinct jaw.
Fu Yanzhou kissed her back.
Min Xi pressed against him, feeling his strong abdominal muscles and his strong heartbeat. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could make out his outline and saw that he was looking at her.
Fu Yanzhou lowered his head and kissed her with his lips held. Min Xi responded. When she wanted to kiss him deeply, Fu Yanzhou's kiss moved down from her lips to her chin and continued down.
Min Xi started holding his hand and interlocked their fingers, but she didn't know when he let go of her hand.
Fu Yanzhou pressed the back of her feet and kissed her.
The moment his lips touched hers, Min Xi's eyes suddenly went blank, he couldn't see anything clearly, and he couldn't breathe.
When everything was calm, Min Xi was held in Fu Yanzhou's arms.
--
The next morning, I was woken up by the alarm again.
Min Xi opened his eyes and found that Fu Yanzhou was not on the bed, but his cell phone and ring were on the bedside table.
It's already half past seven and he's still at home.
Min Xi turned on her phone and saw that Ju Youyou had sent her a message in the middle of the night yesterday: [Sister Min, there will be a birthday party for Mr. Yu tonight. You must come in the evening. You were busy these two days, so I didn’t dare to tell you. 】
It's not that I'm worried about Min Xi being busy, it's because Min Xi is overwhelmed by the hot search. If he fails to handle it well, Shengshi's project will be in vain, and Jiachen's reputation will be affected.
Ju Youyou waited until the crisis was resolved and Xiao Xiaoshi's popularity and sales steadily increased before she notified Min Xi.
In fact, whether Mr. Yu’s birthday party will be held as scheduled depends on whether Shengshi’s crisis can be successfully resolved. If the situation is not optimistic, who would dare to hold a birthday party for the boss?
Min Xi rubbed his head. He had been so busy lately that he forgot that Yu Chengtan’s birthday was next week.
She returned home leisurely: [See you in the evening. 】
Just after putting down his phone, Fu Yanzhou came out of the cloakroom.
He was dressed neatly, in a white shirt and black suit.
She didn't like him wearing dark clothes before, especially black, which made him look more indifferent and oppressive to her. Even when she hugged him, she felt a distance between them.
Since she wore black at the press conference, now she thinks he would look good in a black suit.
Fu Yanzhou took the ring and put it on, then asked, "Are you not going to sleep anymore?"
"Um."
Min Xi didn't look him in the eye.
I didn't expect that the first morning I woke up to see him after marriage would be after a crazy joy.
Late last night, the dark blue satin sheets were replaced with the current dark gray ones.
Last night his hot lips and tongue sent her to the top of the waves and threw her into the clouds.
Fu Yanzhou left late today because he had something to tell her and waited for her to wake up.
He put on the ring and said to her, "I have asked someone to remove all your front-facing photos from the Internet. I only left a few side-view photos. They will not affect the traffic to Shengshi Technology."
"Thanks."
If Jiachen withdraws, we don’t know how much it will cost.
Min Xi joked, "Let Yu Chengtan treat you to a meal some other day."
Fu Yanzhou said calmly: "What right does he..." have to treat me to a meal?
Then he changed the topic: "I am helping you, you should treat me to a meal."
Min Xi had just woken up, so she was slow to react. Only now did she realize that he had not gone to the company early today because he was waiting to tell her about the removal of the photos.
"I'll treat you next weekend."
Fu Yanzhou: "Tonight."
As he spoke, he opened his phone to make a restaurant reservation and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Min Xi apologized, "Not tonight. I have to go to Yu Chengtan's birthday party."
Fu Yanzhou locked his phone and said, "Next week then."
After a few seconds of pause, he raised his eyes and asked, "Is your boss' birthday coming up and he's inviting employees?"
"Several senior executives of the company came to reward us employees under the banner of celebrating the boss's birthday." So Yu Chengtan's birthday became their team-building day.
In recent years, Yu Chengtan has paid out of his own pocket to treat them to a night of partying at the most expensive hotel.
Birthday parties are usually held the weekend before his official birthday. This year's birthday dinner is scheduled for tonight. Fortunately, the crisis of Shengshi Technology has been resolved, otherwise Yu Chengtan would have had a restless birthday.
"I'm going to the company." Fu Yanzhou took his cell phone and walked out of the bedroom.
Min Xi looked at his back getting farther and farther away: "Won't you hug me?"
Fu Yanzhou turned around. She was still lying on the bed, her messy black hair covering the entire pillow. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he turned back.
He didn't ask anything, having gotten used to her occasional whims, so he put his phone down and hugged her.
When Min Xi just opened her eyes, she was not yet used to having been so close to him last night. Just as he was about to leave the bedroom, she suddenly wanted a hug from him.
She sat up, pulled the quilt in front of her, and wrapped her bare arms around his neck, exposing her back. Fu Yanzhou wrapped her in the quilt.
Min Xi felt that their relationship had become closer. Now, no matter whether she asked him to hug her or kiss her, he would no longer ask her what she was thinking.
--
Two nights and one day passed, and several hot search terms from Shengshi’s press conference were still in the top 20.
Sheng Jianqi browsed the entries, exited the hot search page, put down his phone and started eating breakfast.
There were also his father and mother at the table. He has lived alone since he became an adult. Last night, because of the hot searches about Shengshi’s press conference, his father called him back and he stayed at home for one night.
Mrs. Sheng took the coffee beside him and handed him a glass of milk.
“Stop drinking coffee in the morning. It’s not healthy.”
Sheng Jianqi rarely came back for dinner, and he didn't refute anything his mother said. One morning, since he wouldn't die if he didn't drink coffee, he followed his mother's advice and drank the milk.
Mrs. Sheng looked at her son from time to time, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times. She wanted to be more tactful, but if she was too tactful, her son wouldn't understand what she was saying.
Since the breakup, my son has been living a depressed life and he has been perfunctory in all the blind dates arranged for him.
She had no choice but to compromise. As long as her son was happy, she had no objection to his girlfriend coming from any family. Even with all these concessions, my son still has no interest in relationships.
Yesterday, Min Xi's photo became a hot topic, and many friends asked her if Min Xi was their future daughter-in-law. One could tell from her temperament that she came from an extraordinary family.
She wished it was so, but she knew what condition her son was in now.
Sheng Jianqi and his father never got along, but he always respected his mother: "Mom, just say what you want to say."
Madam Sheng: "On the hot search..."
Sheng Jianqi thought his mother was worried about the impact on the promotion of the company's products, so he comforted her: "It's okay, it's been resolved."
"That's good." Mrs. Sheng wanted to ask about Min Xi. "Min Xi is more photogenic than a star. At first I thought she was a spokesperson hired by Shengshi."
Sheng Jianqi was not on guard and said objectively: "She is not photogenic, and the photos are not as pretty as she is in person."
"She must be so beautiful." Madam Sheng's eyebrows relaxed: "I saw people say on the Internet that she is a top student?"
Sheng Jianqi nodded.
"She lives in Beijing, right?"
"Um."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Mr. Sheng was also curious and looked at his son along with his wife.
It was not until this moment that Sheng Jianqi felt something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Mom, why are you asking so many questions? Do people of your age like to be matchmakers?"
Madam Sheng laughed and scolded: "How can you talk like that, kid?" She got back to the point: "Min Xi is smart and pretty, she has a good temperament, and she looks pleasing..."
Sheng Jianqi interrupted her mid-sentence: "Mom, you're the first one to say she's likable."
"…Who doesn't have a temper?" Madam Sheng said, "Besides, if she is in charge of such a big project and speaks softly, who will listen to her? I appreciate girls with personality."
She changed the subject: "If Min Xi is single, you should try to pursue her."
Sheng Jianqi: "..."
The plan was turned on him.
He put down the milk cup in his hand, "Don't mention that she is married. Even if she is single, I can't pursue her. She is Min Jiangyuan's daughter, a spoiled young lady. I can't handle her temper. Should I pursue her and worship her as my ancestor?"
Madam Sheng and Director Sheng were shocked. "Min Jiangyuan's daughter?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianqi was annoyed that his parents would send him on a blind date whenever they could, and he couldn't stand it even for a minute. "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
Madam Sheng said to her son in dissatisfaction, "You're full after just a few bites?"
"I have something else to do at the company." Sheng Jianqi left the restaurant without looking back.
After getting in the car and calming down for a moment, he clicked on the trending searches to see what netizens had to say about Xiao Xiaoshi. There is not a single frontal photo of Min Xi in the entry.
--
As a colleague, Zhu Youzhuo has also been following Shengshi Technology's press conference these past two days. When he clicked on the related entry in the morning, there were only a few photos of Min Xi left, all of which were side views.
At this time, Zhu Youran knocked on the door and came in, handing over some documents.
Seeing that my brother was staring at the computer screen, I asked casually, "Is there any important news?"
Zhu Youzhuo then looked up: "Old news. Jiachen's hot search."
Zhu Youran cared about this matter more than her brother. Their high school group had never been so lively. The chat records had hundreds of floors. She spent almost two hours just reading the chat records.
Zhu Youzhuo said: "Min Xi's photos have almost been removed."
He picked up the coffee and took a few sips nonchalantly, "Yu Chengtan has suffered a heavy loss this time." Removing the photos from all platforms is not something that can be done with just a few dollars.
Zhu Youzhuo guessed, "I guess Sheng Jianqi got mad. Min Xi stole the limelight from the press conference, so Yu Chengtan had no choice but to withdraw the photos. For this order from Shengshi Technology, Jiachen has worked for nothing."
He reminded his sister: "Take this as a warning. When we hold press conferences for clients in the future, we must avoid having our own people take the spotlight and let the opponent divert the focus of the promotion. Especially you, try not to appear in front of the media cameras at the scene."
Maybe he uses a filter to see his sister and thinks she is prettier than celebrities.
Zhu Youran handed the document to his brother: "It was not Yu Chengtan who withdrew it."
It would take a lot of effort to remove the photos from all platforms, and with Yu Chengtan's connections, it would be difficult to do it in such a short time.
Zhu Youzhuo knew Sheng Jianqi a little bit: "It's impossible that Sheng Jianqi asked someone to withdraw. He is not a philanthropist. It's impossible for him to pay Jiachen's PR fee and then clean up the mess for Jiachen."
Zhu Youran: "It should be Fu Yanzhou, Min Xi is his wife."
She also found out about this from a high school classmate group yesterday. From their conversation, she inferred that Fu Yanzhou brought Min Xi to have a small gathering with a few of them, which is why they reacted so strongly when Min Xi became a trending topic.
The questions that puzzled her before now have answers.
Lu Zhen's mother recently interviewed Fu Yanzhou. Although it was in text form, it caused heated discussions in the industry. After all, he had never accepted any form of interview before.
They all said that Lu Zhen was very prestigious.
Lu Zhen is still his rumored girlfriend. Based on her understanding of Fu Yanzhou, he is not the kind of man who would still have an affair with his so-called ex after getting married.
He has always had a strong sense of boundaries, even since his student days.
So after the interview came out, she once speculated whether his marriage with his wife was just a sham and the two of them did not interfere with each other's private lives.
It was not until she found out that Min Xi was his wife that she suddenly realized that Lu Zhen had high-quality media resources, and Lu Zhen's mother held an even more important position in the media circle.
Just like the PR of this hot search photo, Min Xi became famous, Xiao Xiaoshi also became famous, and Lu Zhen contributed greatly to this.
In the public relations industry, one of the key factors for success or failure is the media. He maintains a good relationship with Lu Zhen, paving the way for Min Xi's long-term development in the public relations industry.
He accepted an exclusive interview with Lu Zhen's mother, not because Lu Zhen had a lot of face, but because Min Xi had a lot of face.
