Fu Yinze's kisses were just like him; the movements appeared gentle and refined, yet they always carried an undeniable domineering and self-centered quality. The rhythm of his kisses, even the intertwining of their breaths, had to be under his control.
Tang Ning's tears had not yet dried, and she could only be forced to succumb to the kiss under the other person's control.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the downpour gradually drowned out Fu Yuankai's fading calls.
After what seemed like an eternity, Fu Yin finally released Tang Ning, who was struggling to breathe. He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, speaking in a hoarse voice, "You haven't eaten anything all day. I had the chef prepare noodles for you before we got home. Shall we go try some later?"
"But……"
Just as Tang Ning was about to speak, Fu Yin pressed his index finger against her lips.
"No buts. I'll take care of Yuankai later. You go and eat something first. Although I have a good temper, I'll still get jealous if you keep showing so much concern for your ex-boyfriend."
Fu Yinze's eyes were filled with laughter.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and slowly walked towards the restaurant next door.
After Tang Ning left, Fu Yin slowly suppressed the gentle smile on his lips, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Young Master may have been in a car accident and has collapsed at the entrance. Find a few people to take him to the hospital quickly."
Yes, a car accident.
As early as when Fu Yin saw Fu Yuankai limping towards the villa in the phone surveillance footage, he knew that his extremely miserable appearance meant that he had most likely been in a car accident. That's why he stopped Tang Ning from going out to see him at the first opportunity.
He knew all too well how soft-hearted and easily coaxed his little swan was. If she really saw her ex-boyfriend, whom she had just decided to break up with, come back to apologize and beg for reconciliation so soon, wouldn't all his previous schemes have gone down the drain?
He would not allow such a thing to happen until he had completely lost interest in the swans.
As for his good nephew, he was able to walk such a long distance after the car accident, so he should be fine. Even if he was, it was his own fate, wasn't it?
Who told him to get into a car accident and still act recklessly!
Fu Yin's feelings for his only remaining blood relative in the world were surprisingly indifferent.
There was nothing he could do. His good sister-in-law seemed fine before, but she developed postpartum depression after giving birth. Perhaps his philandering older brother was living too carefree a life after marriage. Didn't their father think he was hopeless and chose to groom him instead? But not only was she depressed, she also had a tendency to hurt others. The key point was that she knew Fu Yuankai was her own child and couldn't be touched. She pretended to be a decent person in public, but privately vented all her grief and resentment on Fu Yinze.
Let him think about how old he was back then, I think he was only 6 years old.
The little boy was already somewhat withdrawn due to the grief of his mother's unexpected death, but who could have imagined that even greater hardships were yet to come!
However, all those old, trivial matters are in the past, and he has long since moved on. He also found an opportunity to get back at that sister-in-law. It's just that he can't get close to Fu Yuankai, who has always been carefree and does whatever he wants.
Not only can't he get close to her, but he was also able to feign friendship with a shallow and ignorant woman like Ye Xi for so many years. Now that I think about it, maybe he knew what Fu Yuankai was thinking, so he deliberately made his cute little nephew feel bad!
He's really awful!
With this in mind, Fu Yin, who was leaning against the wall in the restaurant with half of his face hidden in the shadows, stared intently at the girl at the table who was focused on eating noodles.
The noodles were still a little hot, and her lips turned bright red as she ate them. Two tiny beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose from the heat.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Tang Ning quickly looked up.
Before she could speak, Fu Yinze said, "Yuan Kai has already left, so you don't need to worry."
"I... I didn't..."
Tang Ning bit her lip.
Seeing this, Fu Yin slowly emerged from the shadows, sat down opposite her, and asked the chef to serve him a bowl of noodles as well.
I haven't eaten anything since this afternoon, and my stomach is starting to protest.
Then he noticed his little swan looking at him hesitantly, as if it had some difficult request to make.
Fu Yin didn't rush to ask, letting her watch. But even after they had finished their noodles and were about to go back to their rooms to rest, she still didn't say anything.
After seeing Fu Yin say goodnight to her, she was about to go back to her room to rest.
Yes, the two of them are now sleeping in two different rooms.
Tang Ning finally couldn't help but take two steps forward, gently tugging at Fu Yinze's sleeve, and took a deep breath, "Excuse me, Mr. Fu, could I... could I work in the entertainment industry? I want to work and earn money to pay you back as soon as possible..."
"What? Are you in such a hurry to leave me?"
Fu Yin then turned around and smiled.
"No, no, Mr. Fu, I was desperate back then, and I'm truly grateful that you were willing to help me. My promise is always valid; if you want me to be your girlfriend, I will always be your girlfriend until you get tired of me and don't like me anymore. But gratitude is gratitude, and it's only right to pay back debts. Even if I'm your girlfriend, I shouldn't owe you money. It makes me... makes me feel inferior. Relationships should be equal. With this debt, we can never be equal..."
Tang Ning said earnestly.
"Are you already thinking about our future?"
Fu Yin's expression became even more pleased.
"No... Fu..."
“Yin Ze”
"Um?"
Tang Ning looked up in surprise.
"Since we're boyfriend and girlfriend, doesn't it feel awkward to keep calling me Mr. Fu? You can try calling me that."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning paused for a moment, then called out in an exceptionally soft voice, "...Yin Ze."
"Hmm... Ningning."
Fu Yin also called out to her tenderly.
With just one sound, Tang Ning's face turned bright red uncontrollably, and even her neck and earlobes were tinged with a light pink.
Seeing this, Fu Yin's eyes darkened. If it weren't for the unbearable stomach pain he was experiencing, he probably would have liked to tease his little swan a few more times.
Unfortunately, he was already starting to feel the pain, so he leaned back against the wall. The man then spoke slowly and deliberately, “What kind of work do you want in the entertainment industry? A stunt double or something? If you really want to be in the entertainment industry, my woman, Fu Yinze’s woman, doesn’t need to start from the bottom. Didn’t I tell you? Tonight, a director actually took a liking to you. It’s that Lin Li, the director who made ‘Wolong’ before. He contacted me and said that your image is very suitable for a role in his upcoming movie. He asked me to let you audition in a few days.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning's eyes widened instantly, and then a surprised smile appeared on her face.
Before she could say anything, Fu Yinze's hand landed on her head, gently patting it. "Go back and rest, or do you prefer... to rest with me..."
"I...I'll go back to my room first!"
With her cheeks flushed red, Tang Ning hurriedly turned around and went back to her room, but she could still hear Fu Yin's low laughter coming from behind her.
Almost as soon as she returned to her room, the blush on Tang Ning's face slowly faded.
It seems like you have a stomach problem...
She seemed to be deep in thought.
Three days later, Fu Yuankai, who was lying quietly in the hospital bed with his right leg dangling high and his lips pale, heard his manager ask him if he should let Ye Xi in when she came to visit him.
He stared intently at the smiling face of Tang Ning on his phone, reached out and touched it, then said without looking up, "Tell her to get lost."
Knowing just how much their artist had been infatuated with Ye Xi, the manager's expression twisted slightly in disbelief. After realizing what had happened, she quickly nodded.
At this moment, Ye Xi, who was waiting outside holding flowers, couldn't believe her eyes after hearing her manager's message. She pulled down her sunglasses in disbelief. "Yuan Kai, Yuan Kai, it's me! I came as soon as I heard you were in the hospital after your car accident. Let me see you... Yuan Kai..."
Upon hearing such a sound, Fu Yuankai immediately pressed the alarm clock to notify the security guards of the private hospital to come and take the person away.
"...I hope we won't let in any more clueless people next time."
He said this coldly.
Sure enough, Ye Xi's voice was soon silenced outside.
After things calmed down, Fu Yuankai made a phone call.
"Okay, I understand. Director Lin Li, right?"
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Tang Ning's face on his phone and gripped it with unusual force.
Fu-Yin-Ze!
About half a month later, casting began for director Lin Li's new film "Stars".
Just as Tang Ning had signed her contract for the female lead role under Fu Yinze's guidance, the two saw Fu Yuankai and his agent walk out of the next room. Hearing the words "pleasant collaboration," Tang Ning instantly realized that the other party had also gotten a role in the movie.
Upon seeing Tang Ning, Fu Yuankai chuckled without even taking off his sunglasses, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here, Uncle. What? Is your new...girlfriend also in Director Lin's new movie?"
Fu Yuankai said the word "girlfriend" with particular gritted teeth.
Tang Ning slightly turned her head to avoid his gaze.
Fu Yin looked at him and smiled without saying anything.
"It's such a coincidence that I got the role of Ye Qingyue, isn't it? That's too much of a coincidence. The role I got is Zhou Wenxuan, Ye Qingyue's lover. Miss Tang, is that right? I'm really looking forward to having scenes with you."
After saying that, Fu Yuankai left without looking back.
He was afraid that if Tang Ning didn't leave soon, he might not be able to control himself and rush forward to hug her tightly.
Halfway there, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, took off his sunglasses, and looked seriously at Fu Yinze behind him, "I think Ye Qingyue and Zhou Wenxuan have a kissing scene in the script, right? I think it's just acting, Uncle, you're not such an undemocratic and closed-minded person, are you? After all, it's just acting..."
"certainly."
Fu Yin replied without hesitation.
Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Fu Yuankai finally leave, satisfied.
"Yin..."
As soon as Fu Yuankai left, Tang Ning was about to say something.
Fu Yin smiled at her and said, "It's just filming, Ningning, you won't let me down, right?"
Will you disappoint me? My Mr. Fu.
Tang Ning smiled expectantly to herself.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the official filming, Fu Yinze's company had some issues that caused him to be delayed, and it seemed he would have to come later, or even not at all.
Upon receiving this message, Tang Ning, who had already changed into a dark blue cheongsam, held her phone and sighed softly.
"Stars" is a film set in the Republican era. She plays Ye Qingyue, a girl in a brothel, while Fu Yuankai plays Zhou Wenxuan, a naive young master. After falling in love with Ye Qingyue, his family disapproves and even begins to pressure her. In the end, for his own good, Ye Qingyue uses various forms of humiliation and ridicule to finally drive away the man she loves most. But who could have imagined that three years later, the man she loves would transform into a great general and come back to take revenge on her? Although the two eventually clear up their misunderstandings, they cannot withstand the tide of history and are separated again. One jumps into a cold well on a winter night to preserve her innocence, while the other dies on the battlefield from artillery fire while trying to save his comrade, leaving no trace of his body.
"Stars" is a story of love, hate, and revenge set against the backdrop of war, and Ye Qingyue and Zhou Wenxuan are just one of the main storylines.
Just as she was thinking this, Tang Ning, who had just put away her phone, saw Fu Yuankai, dressed in a Republic of China-era general's uniform, walking slowly towards her. He wore a gray-blue military uniform, black leather gloves and tall military boots, with a knee-length cloak in the same color scheme as his clothes. He looked dashing and heroic.
Seeing this, Tang Ning slightly avoided his gaze, but since there was only one way in and out of this corridor, she had no choice but to stand aside and let him pass first.
Just as the two passed each other, Fu Yuankai suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, startling Tang Ning.
“Ningning…”
"I'm going to the director's office now..."
Just as Tang Ning was about to break free from his grip, the man gave a dejected laugh the next second. "Heh, so you don't even want to talk to me anymore?"
After saying that, Fu Yuankai's eyes reddened.
"Are you really not even going to give me a chance to explain or apologize? We've been together for four years, and I know I've fallen short in many ways. I've made you wait for me, made you sad so often, and wasn't there for you when you were most helpless. I truly know I was wrong. I'm not a substitute; in these four years... I've actually fallen in love with you long ago. I just couldn't see my own heart. I just want a chance..."
Hearing his words, Tang Ning's eyes reddened slightly, but she remembered her current status, so she struggled to speak, "I really have to go be the director..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yuankai burst out laughing.
"Heh, you probably haven't acted before. You don't know that some production crews will film a kissing scene in the very first scene so that the male and female leads can get to know each other quickly. Anyway, we're going to film it soon, so why don't we rehearse our lines now?"
"right……"
Before Tang Ning could even voice her question, the world spun around her, and she was slammed against the wall behind her by a powerful force. A man's minty lips pressed against hers.
"Hmm!"
The touch on her lips made Tang Ning's eyes widen suddenly, and she immediately began to struggle violently.
But how could her strength compare to Fu Yuankai's? She could only feel his lips and tongue conquering her territory. Frustrated and embarrassed by being seen, she opened her mouth and bit his lower lip. Even though she bit so hard that the taste of blood filled their mouths, he seemed to feel nothing and continued to kiss her.
Just as Tang Ning was about to exert more force, a warm drop fell onto her cheek the next second.
It's...tears...
She was stunned.
But at that very moment—
"I remember it's not time for filming yet, is it? They're already acting?"
Fu Yuankai stopped moving and turned his head sharply.
Tang Ning and he then saw Fu Yin, dressed in a suit and tie, standing not far from them at the corner, looking at them with a smile.
But the smile never reached his eyes.
