Jiang's Building Top Floor Office
"Done!" Moyang tapped the Enter key with his index finger, a smug smile spreading across his face. "Brother Jiang Zhi Yan, I've uploaded all the records as you requested, and deleted yesterday's post. Take a look?"
Moyang scrolled through the post he had just sent out, turning his laptop screen to face Jiang Zhi Yan, who was sitting in an office chair.
Jiang Zhi Yan knocked a cigarette out of the pack, placed it between his lips, lit it, and took a puff without intending to get up. He calmly replied, "Just handle it."
Moyang got up from the sofa and walked to the bar to pour himself a glass of red wine. Curiously, he asked, "What happened with that girl? She was so ruthless; it doesn't seem like your style, Brother Jiang Zhi Yan."
Jiang Zhi Yan flicked the ash from his cigarette and pondered for a moment. "Well, do you think I can tolerate someone bullying the Jiang family?"
Moyang raised an eyebrow in contemplation. Seeing Jiang Zhi Yan's grim expression, he dared not ask who had bullied the Jiang family. He could only sigh that Li Jiayuan should count her blessings; she probably never expected to step on the toes of the Jiang family.
——
Endless Building.
Su Wan felt a mix of emotions as she scrolled through the posts again. Finally, looking bewildered, she walked out of the restroom.
In the office, Fu Weiheng had finished handling his work. Noticing her entering, he casually asked, "Why were you gone for so long?"
Feeling guilty, Su Wan scratched her palm. Seeing his calm demeanor made her think he probably didn't know about the Forum. She casually replied, "Um, I might have eaten too much at lunch."
Fu Weiheng didn't think much of it. He got up to pour two glasses of water and turned to her. "Do you want to take a nap?"
Su Wan glanced at the Clock, noting that there was still over an hour until work. She nodded, "Okay."
After waking up, to avoid raising suspicions among everyone, Su Wan deliberately arrived twenty minutes early at the Practice Room. Wen He came in shortly after and was surprised to see Su Wan practicing alone. "Guan Guan didn't go home for lunch?"
Su Wan flipped through the sheet music and casually replied, "Hmm, the school is too far, so I just stayed in the lounge downstairs."
Wen He walked over, wiping his hands on the Golden Flute, and glanced at the instrument between her legs. "Oh, you changed flutes?"
Su Wan continued her charade, "Yeah... my flute is being repaired, so I'm using one from the group."
Wen He responded with a simple, "Oh."
Before long, everyone arrived, and they began an intense afternoon of practice. After two months of interaction and rehearsals, Su Wan had generally adapted to the group's pace and practice style. She could now perform a piece along with everyone; as long as she focused on practicing the details more regularly, the March Concert should not be a problem for her.
After practice ended in the afternoon, Su Wan packed up her flute and returned it to the Lounge. Seeing that everyone had left, she hurriedly took the elevator down to the underground garage.
Fu Weiheng had been waiting in the car for over ten minutes and was reviewing screenshots sent by Jiang Zhi Yan yesterday on his phone. When Su Wan opened the door and climbed in, he discreetly pressed the lock screen button and placed his phone on the dashboard.
"Are you hungry?" he asked while adjusting Su Wan's seatbelt.
Su Wan clicked her seatbelt into place with a snap and smiled lightly. "A little."
Then Fu Weiheng calmly pressed the gas pedal and drove out of the underground garage.
As dusk approached, Su Wan looked out at the slightly congested road and her thoughts drifted back to that post that had exploded on the School Forum at noon.
Who could it be?
It shouldn't be the Deity, right? Since the incident yesterday, he hasn't mentioned anything about the Forum.
In the end, with Su Wan still without any conclusions, the car slowly drove to a Cantonese Restaurant.
After Fu Weiheng parked the car, the two of them went inside and found a window seat. While Fu Weiheng was ordering, Su Wan casually scrolled through her phone. The Class Group was as lively as ever, discussing the insider news that had just broken in the afternoon. Su Wan lost interest after a couple of scrolls, exited WeChat, and inadvertently glanced at Fu Weiheng sitting across from her. On a whim, she opened the camera function and aimed it at his handsome face, pressing the shutter button several times.
At that moment, Fu Weiheng had just finished ordering. After the waiter walked away with the menu, he leisurely took a sip of water and looked at Su Wan, who was smiling at her screen. "Is it good-looking?" he asked.
Su Wan looked up from her camera with a smile and replied without hesitation, "It's good-looking."
He put down his cup and leaned slightly towards her, raising an eyebrow as he pointed to his picture on her phone. "So which is better, the photo or your phone wallpaper?"
Hearing this, Su Wan lowered her head to look at the cartoon wallpaper on her phone and smiled brightly. "The photo is better."
"Mm." Fu Weiheng was satisfied and took another sip of Lemonade, his expression unchanged. "Then use my photo as your wallpaper."
Su Wan: "..."
She felt inexplicably trapped again...
As the meal came to an end, Su Wan felt stuffed. She thought if this continued, her weight would surely shoot up by ten or twenty pounds. Struggling to get up, she supported her waist and headed to the restroom.
Fu Weiheng took out a wet wipe to clean his mouth and was about to pick up his Lemonade when suddenly the silver-gray phone on the table buzzed and vibrated. With the flashing notification message, Fu Weiheng unconsciously caught sight of the words "Gu Ming" in front of the message.
Mr. Fu calmly extended his hand, which was originally reaching for the cup, towards the silver-gray phone. He knew Su Wan's phone password; they had been dating for quite some time, and occasionally when he needed to make a business call and her phone would automatically shut down, he would borrow Su Wan's phone. She had always been open about it and simply told him the lock screen password.
Fu Weiheng skillfully unlocked the phone and opened WeChat. On the chat wallpaper, there was only a message from Gu Ming sent a minute ago—
"Guan Guan, have you eaten? Can we talk?"
Fu Weiheng raised an eyebrow and let out a cold snort.
Oh, Guan Guan?
He swiftly slid his finger and silently deleted the message.
...
When Su Wan returned from the bathroom, Fu Weiheng was leisurely sitting on the sofa playing a mobile game. Su Wan sat down, took a sip of lemonade, and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Fu Weiheng quietly closed the game, got up, and sat beside her. He took her phone and opened the camera function, briefly stating, "Guan Guan, I need a phone wallpaper."
Then, while Su Wan was still in a daze, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and quickly pressed the shutter.
Su Wan stared blankly at the photo on the phone. She was nestled against Fu Weiheng's side, and due to the suddenness of it all, her pretty face looked somewhat dazed as she faced the camera. Fu Weiheng, however, wore a faint smile with his lips pressed together, still remarkably handsome.
Su Wan wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and tried to snatch the phone back. "I wasn't ready."
Fu Weiheng slowly raised the phone above his head. "As long as it's pretty."
Su Wan's face flushed at his words, and in the end, she reluctantly compromised, thinking she would find another opportunity to take a better photo later...
Then Fu Weiheng took out his wallet and placed it in her hand, speaking in a calm tone, "You go pay the bill. My phone is almost out of battery, so I'll borrow yours to make a call."
Su Wan responded with an "Oh," took the wallet, and got up to head to the Cashier.
Afterward, Fu Weiheng opened Su Wan's WeChat without changing his expression. He first sent the group photo to himself, then opened Moments, posted the recently taken photo, edited the text, and clicked send. Finally, he took out his own phone and posted his very first Moment.
He completed all of this with composure, stood up, took Su Wan's backpack, and casually returned her phone to her pocket at the Cashier. After she finished paying, he held her hand and left.
As they drove onto the road, Fu Weiheng drove slowly along the street. His face was tense, seemingly unhappy. Su Wan glanced at the man beside her and suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was particularly oppressive. Just as she was about to say something, her phone in her pocket buzzed several times in quick succession. She had no choice but to take it out and looked at the screen where messages kept popping up one after another. She hurriedly clicked on them.
Sure enough, the first was a barrage of emojis from Xu Chengyang.
Fu Da Shen's Tofu Stick Little Chengyang: Su Wan! This is too much! You actually teamed up with Deity to show off your love QAQ.
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: This is a total blow!!!
Swan: ???
Fu Da Shen's Tofu Stick Little Chengyang: Look at this, Yao Ye! Look at her pretending to be clueless!
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: Wow—this is excessive!
Su Wan was almost dumbfounded. Just as she was about to reply, she accidentally swiped out of the group chat interface. When she noticed the 78 red message notifications at the bottom, she was startled and anxiously clicked back in.

...
Su Wan looked up from a pile of various comments, turning her gaze towards the man driving, knowing it was definitely his post...
The man driving sensed her gaze and glanced at her with an expression of calm indifference. "What's wrong?"
Su Wan raised her phone screen, symbolically showing him the post: "Did you post this?"
The car had already arrived at the entrance of Yan University. Su Wan only heard him softly say "Mm," before he gently pressed the brake and parked the car by the roadside. Then he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and opened the door for her.
Su Wan jumped out of the car, and after he closed the door, she mumbled quietly, "Didn't you say we wouldn't make it public yet..."
Now everyone in the company knew about their relationship...
Fu Weiheng glanced down at her from above, raised a hand to support himself, trapping her between him and the Cayenne, his voice low and slow: "If you don't assert your claim soon, you'll be illegally occupied."
Su Wan: "..."
Seeing her gloomy expression, after a long pause, Fu Weiheng finally sighed helplessly. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, cradling her head. Unable to hold back any longer, he asked, "Guan Guan, why didn't you tell me about what happened on Forum?"
His tone was filled with undeniable concern and helplessness.
Su Wan froze in his arms, as if suddenly touched at her most vulnerable spot. The next moment, tears that had been welling up in her eyes rolled down uncontrollably.
He knew; it turned out he had always known.
"I've said before that no matter what happens in the future, I hope I'm the first person you think of," he said. "Guan Guan, I've been waiting for you to tell me."
"I know you have your own way of dealing with things. You don't want to tell me because you think you can bear it all alone like before."
"But Guan Guan, things are different now. You have me; you can rely on me. You can complain to me and cry to me. You don't need to be so strong. Just hide behind me, and let me carry everything."
"Guan Guan, I don't know how much pain and helplessness you've endured before meeting me. I just hope that after having me in your life, I can protect you and keep you carefree for the rest of my days."
The dim streetlights stood in a row along the roadside, motionless, piercing the night with their glow. His clear voice gradually warmed the cold air, gently tapping at her heart.
In an instant, Su Wan was left speechless with tears.
If it were the old her, how could she have endured such rumors?
For so many years, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to rely on someone. To be precise, she was not strong at all; she was weaker than anyone else. Since her father left, she had kept her heart hidden away. She didn't want anyone to see her weakness. Without her father, without support, she had to bear all the grievances and pain because she felt that no one could give her the sense of security that her father once did.
Until she met Fu Weiheng.
