Fu Yunque remained noncommittal, his burning gaze sweeping over Ling Mobai's exposed face. The admiration in his heart, mixed with intense love, rose and fell with every smile and frown of Ling Mobai.
Upon noticing a few specks of sauce on the corner of her mouth, he almost uncontrollably reached out his well-proportioned hand and gently wiped the sauce away from her lips.
"..."
Ling Mo wasn't used to having too much contact with others, and sensing the increasingly strange atmosphere, he said repeatedly:
"Thank you for your hospitality, Dr. Fu. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."
"I send you."
Fu Yunque realized that his actions just now were somewhat abrupt and secretly regretted it.
Ling Mo considered refusing, but seeing that he had already gotten up, she had no choice but to give up.
On the way back, Fu Yunque's mouth never stopped. He could talk about anything from astronomy to geography, and he was incredibly talkative.
Ling Mo listened quietly, only occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Even after a brief awkward silence, Fu Yunque was able to quickly regain his composure.
Gradually, the slow-to-warm-up Ling Mo also got used to Fu Yun Que's humor.
Before this, she only knew that Fu Yunque was an extremely gentle person. After discovering his funny and lively side, she felt a sense of closeness to him.
Meanwhile, in the shadows unseen by their eyes, the entertainment reporters who had been following Ling Mo all day were frantically pressing their shutter buttons, successfully capturing hundreds of photos of Ling Mo and Fu Yun Que together...
Just as Ling Mo returned home, took a shower, and was about to get a good night's sleep, a message suddenly popped up from Meihu:
[Boss, that's so unfair! When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you mention it before?]
【？？？】
[The photos of you having dinner with Fu Yunque, the newly appointed vice president of Renhe Hospital, have gone viral online. Hey bro, tell me, how far have things progressed between you and Dr. Fu?]
It was just a meal, nothing more.
Ling Mo casually clicked on the trending topics list and found that he was trending again, which gave him a headache.
She clearly remembered Ryan telling her that the top spots on the entertainment trending list are usually bought by celebrities themselves.
Unexpectedly, she, a non-paying user, was constantly trending on the hot search list.
Is she the legendary person who's always trending on social media?
Ling Mo sighed helplessly, threw his phone on the bedside table, turned off the light with a "click," and, too lazy to pay attention to the trending topics such as "[Ling Mo's Relationship]" and "[Is Dating at Seventeen Considered Early Love]", he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Yunque became increasingly indignant when he saw some keyboard warriors on the internet fixating on Ling Mo's age and indiscriminately labeling her with accusations such as "early romance" and "improper conduct."
He and Ling Mo simply had a meal at a restaurant. How did the rumors start, and now people are attacking Ling Mo for his improper conduct?
Fu Yunque couldn't stand the despicable behavior of these keyboard warriors who spewed slander without warning, so he logged onto his Weibo expert account to refute the rumors online:
I hereby solemnly declare that I am currently single. Tonight's gathering is just a normal dinner with friends, everyone please leave.
Many of Fu Yun Que's fans, seeing that he rarely posts on Weibo, rushed to join in the fun.
[Good heavens! My husband was stolen by a young girl?! Can someone tell me who this girl is?!]
[Wow! You guys don't know who this Miss Ling is? She's the unloved heiress of the Shi Jian Group. There was even news about her bravely fighting her wicked stepmother, actress Su Yu, on the trending topics not long ago.]
Dr. Fu and Ms. Ling are such a perfect match! Their photos together are like a beautiful, impressionistic painting, a feast for the eyes!
Are they really just ordinary friends? I get the feeling that Dr. Fu's gaze towards Ms. Ling in the photo reveals an undeniable infatuation.
Based on my years of experience in the fandom, Dr. Fu is most likely in a relationship with Miss Ling. However, Miss Ling is still a minor, and announcing their relationship at this time would inevitably attract a lot of malicious smear campaigns. Dr. Fu chose not to go public with their relationship to protect Miss Ling. Like this post if you agree! ~doge.jpg
After watching Miss Ling's video of taking on ten people single-handedly, I thought she was a cool and aloof woman. I never imagined she'd be so good at seducing people—a true master of manipulation! I heard the new young master of the Liang Group even fell seriously ill because of her.
[Tsk tsk, she's not even eighteen yet! And her methods are already so impressive.]
...
Fu Yunque read through the comments one by one, and seeing that some netizens were still making sarcastic remarks about Ling Mo, he then posted a Weibo post to clarify the situation:
[To reiterate, Ms. Ling and I are not in a romantic relationship. If you have any complaints, please direct them at me. I hope you will be lenient and not involve her, an innocent person.]
After the Weibo post refuting the rumors was released, Fu Yunque also became a trending topic.
Seeing that Fu Yunque was so responsible in preparing to shoulder the burden of online public opinion, most netizens urged them to get married on the spot.
Only one netizen, who goes by the username "Fat Angel Who Loves Fried Chicken," seemed to be on a high, relentlessly arguing with other netizens...
Dr. Fu has a great image and temperament, but our Mo Bao'er is already taken.
[Which eye of yours saw them dating? It was just a normal dinner party!]
Please speak more politely, and don't make baseless accusations against our Mo Bao'er.
...
Upon learning that Ling Mo and Fu Yun Que had both become trending topics, Qin Bei Ming, who was far away in Kyoto, disregarded everything else and rushed back to Linjiang overnight.
