The slight pang of heartache that had just risen in Xu Zhaozhao's heart immediately disappeared.
All the pity is fake; what I really want is a kiss.
Xu Zhaozhao quickly tiptoed and planted a light kiss on Gu Qingyan's thin lips before turning her gaze to the broken tree trunk.
"Look, not a single hair has grown. I told you it's fake."
Gu Qingyan glanced casually at the peach tree, then his gaze returned to Xu Zhaozhao's face; their hands were still tightly clasped together.
"Yeah, it was a lie after all."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't show it on her face, but her lips twitched inwardly.
She's clearly intelligent and a graduate of a prestigious university, so how come she's such a love-obsessed person?
Wait, love-struck?
She turned her head and met Gu Qingyan's gaze. His clear pupils reflected her image, so pure that it seemed to be without a trace of impurity.
Xu Zhaozhao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I did not witness that frightening, intense emotion.
They were just a couple by agreement.
"It's time for dinner."
Xu Zhaozhao tried to free her hand, but failed.
"Give me another hug."
He pulled hard on his arm, and the two were pressed together again.
The roses in the flowerbed in the back garden were in full bloom, their delicate fragrance lingering around the two of them.
This time, Gu Qingyan didn't act like a hooligan; when he said it was a hug, it was just a hug.
"I have to go now. I won't see my wife for several more days."
The voice sounded a little aggrieved.
He was in a coma for three days, spent one day in the hospital, and the work piled up over those four days will keep him busy for a while.
She patted his head and said, "We can stay together whether we're filming or doing variety shows, so a few more days won't make a difference."
Xu Zhaozhao's inner monologue: If you don't go to work soon, I'm going to die. Distance makes the heart grow fonder!
After much coaxing and cajoling, we finally managed to coax him out the door.
After dinner, Xu Zhaozhao lay comfortably on the sofa, drinking an iced beverage. Her period had been quite pent up recently.
I tapped the little red dot on WeChat.
Sister Yan: Are you still accepting gigs at this hour?
Yan Jie: I don't know why, but my inbox suddenly got so many notifications today~ [picking nose]
It was implied.
Having just recovered from a serious illness, I immediately processed all these announcements and sent them to Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Xu: I'm not taking any more. One variety show and one drama are enough for me to handle.
One is a variety show produced by her own mother, and the other is a drama in which she is the true "leading lady" in both of her lifetimes.
She wants to do everything well.
Sister Yan: Okay, I'll urge the production team to sign the contract for you.
Yan Jie: I know you don't like following Weibo... but, Weibo's been lively lately, so I just wanted to let you know. I didn't mean for you to go look at it [grinning face].
Xu Zhaozhao didn't reply again, but instead opened Weibo with a smile.
The story that was exposed has taken another turn.
#Mosaic's assets suspected of having over thirty tax loopholes [explosive]#
#The photo is undeniably unedited!#
#Some online trolls are doing such a brainless job of whitewashing "Qin woman's neuroticism"#
Fu Chengze is probably being summoned for investigation now and doesn't have time to deal with trending topics, which are currently hanging high at the top of the trending list.
Xu Zhaozhao wasn't interested in his messy affairs; she'd rather he spend a few years in jail.
But it probably won't do any good, since a leopard can't change its spots.
My finger moved to the second most searched term and clicked on it.
Will the world ever get better?: These aren't photoshopped; could you please provide a few more from different angles? [Images] x9
Upon seeing the familiar Weibo ID, Xu Zhaozhao knew who had posted the Weibo message.
The leaked images are quite shocking; they were likely taken from a videotape.
Various positions, although none of them took off their clothes...
There is one photo without any mosaic, in which the faces of the female and male models are not in the frame, only Fu Chengze and Qin Yueling's faces are clearly visible.
It's unclear how the other party used it, but Fu Chengze's face wasn't automatically blurred in the leaked photos.
A female model sat on Fu Chengze's lap, and Qin Yueling's hand was placed on the male model's abs, just below them.
Even though she couldn't see it clearly, the thought of that possibility made Xu Zhaozhao feel physically nauseous.
[Holy crap... this nine-grid timeline is continuous. If it's photoshopped, how can the details in every single image look so real? [Jaw-dropping]]
Well, although there's no conclusive evidence to definitively condemn Qin, I believe in Goddess Qin... she's just that kind of shameless person!!
This is the complete video, right...? If I cut any more, it'd probably look like some globally popular action movie...
[Oh my god, is this where she put her hand? And she looks so excited... [vomiting]]
If the other party can Photoshop one image, they can probably Photoshop a whole set. Don't be fooled! We must trust Lingling and not let her down!
...
Having some understanding of her son's capabilities, Hsu Chao-chao wasn't afraid of having her IP address traced.
But... if Gu Yulin can post these screenshots online, doesn't that mean he's already seen the whole thing?
His eyes widened.
Is this really something children should watch?!
He slipped on his slippers and rushed upstairs to the second floor.
"Fish!"
In a moment of panic, I opened the door to Yu Yu's room directly.
Gu Yulin looked as if she had just taken a shower; the ends of her hair were still a little damp, lying smoothly on her head.
His tablet, which he always had with him, was left lying at the foot of the bed, unattended. He was instead reading a thick stack of documents.
When she looked up and met Xu Zhaozhao's gaze, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly closed the documents in her hand and hid them under her pillow.
It was buried so tightly that not a trace of it could be seen.
Why didn't Mom knock on the door?
Knowing she was in the wrong, Xu Zhaozhao stuck out her tongue and apologized, "I'm sorry, baby, Mommy was in such a hurry and forgot."
Xu Zhaozhao assumed the stack of blank papers was Gu Yulin's new study material and didn't pay it any mind.
He handed the phone to Gu Yulin, asking nervously, "Baby, how did you get this video?"
She was afraid that Gu Yulin had hacked the surveillance cameras to help her and watched all that inappropriate content...
She's such a failure as a mother!
Gu Yulin blinked. "Xia Huai sent it to me. They can't find the IP address if I send it."
Did Sister Xia Huai post this?
Xu Zhaozhao let out a deep breath.
Since it was posted by Xia Huai, it shouldn't contain any inappropriate content.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the tablet that Gu Yulin had placed at the foot of the bed, which displayed a chat screen from the Weibo private message backend.
The three large, bright red characters "Qin Yueling" were displayed on it.
Qin Yueling: I don't care who you are! Taking photos without permission is illegal, and spreading rumors is also illegal. I demand that you delete your Weibo posts right now! I will give you two million yuan as hush money.
Qin Yueling: Otherwise, by the time I find you, I don't know if you'll be alive.
It's obvious that they posted on Weibo to threaten Yu Yu into deleting her posts; this is a real threat to her.
The fact that the tablet is stuck on this screen means that Gu Yulin doesn't want to pay any attention to her.
He spat lightly at the three large characters "Qin Yueling".
What kind of bastard dares to threaten my son?
I can't stand even a little bit.
He picked up the tablet and started typing rapidly on it.
Will the world ever get better? You like taking candid photos, right? Here's a candid photo of you back. It's impolite to delete something that's just a return favor.
Will the world ever get better? You agree, right, Goddess Qin?
