Holding Su Wan after cleaning her up and returning to bed, she had already fallen asleep, exhausted. Nestled in his arms, she curled up quietly and obediently.
Fu Weiheng gently stroked her soft contours. The room was pitch black, yet the girl in front of him was vividly etched in his eyes and heart.
He recalled the small incident his grandfather mentioned at the dinner table tonight about their chance encounter at Yishi.
Suddenly, Fu Weiheng understood.
Why it had to be her from the very beginning.
His girl, so obedient and kind that it made his heart race.
And yet strong and resilient enough to make him feel a deep ache.
...
School started after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, while the orchestra resumed work on the ninth.
Both Su Wan and Fu Weiheng were quiet individuals, so during the last few days of their break before work, aside from meal times when they returned to Fu Residence, they mostly spent their time in the apartment practicing piano, reading, watching TV, and... engaging in intimate moments.
Of course, in that last matter, she was also powerless to resist...
On the ninth day of the first month, the first day back to work after the New Year. Su Wan woke up early. Despite being repeatedly pressed by someone last night for a long time, she naturally woke up around seven o'clock.
When Su Wan opened her eyes, Fu Weiheng was still asleep, his peaceful face pleasing to the eye. His long arm remained unchanged, resting on her waist.
She lay flat on the bed, and after slightly easing her drowsy mind, she gently moved his hand away and got up to wash up in the bathroom.
As Fu Weiheng turned over, he instinctively reached out to pull her closer, only to find an empty space beside him.
His previously closed eyes immediately opened wide.
The space next to him was empty, and all he could hear was the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Fu Weiheng glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, brushed a few strands of hair off his forehead, and got out of bed.
While Su Wan was washing her face, she looked up in the mirror and saw Fu Weiheng standing behind her, his hair tousled and his eyes still hazy, clearly not fully awake yet.
He leaned down and wrapped his arms around her from behind, his cool lips pressing against her neck, sending a ticklish sensation down her spine.
Su Wan wrung out the towel in her hand and instinctively moved her neck, her voice still soft from just waking up: "You... hurry and wash your face, or you'll be late for work."
Fu Weiheng felt a stirring in his heart at her gentle voice. However, with the time for work approaching, he couldn't do much else. After kissing her for a while, he reluctantly let go and went to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After having breakfast and arriving at the company, it was nearly nine o'clock, leaving only ten minutes until work started. Seeing that they were running out of time, Su Wan hurriedly prepared to get out of the car when Fu Weiheng suddenly reached out to stop her and said, "Come find me during lunch break; I have something to discuss."
Su Wan was unfazed; after all, everyone in the company knew about their relationship. She nodded in agreement, took her guitar, and entered the company without looking back.
She entered the Practice Room right on time, and most of the people inside had already gathered. Upon seeing someone come in, they all turned their heads in unison to look, and when they recognized it was Su Wan, they greeted her warmly before returning to their own conversations.
Su Wan responded to everyone's greetings and sat down in her designated spot with her instrument.
As soon as she settled into her chair, someone lightly patted her shoulder. Turning around, she saw Wen He smiling at her with a meaningful expression. "Guan Guan... I've noticed... you’re becoming more charming by the day..."
Su Wan: "……………" What does that even mean...
Wen He pulled over her chair and sat beside her. "Come on, tell me how your year has been."
A flurry of memories flashed through Su Wan's mind; it seemed a lot had changed in just a short holiday. She smiled slightly. "It's been okay. How about you?"
"I... I'm doing alright!" Wen He thought for a moment before sighing, "The only thing that hasn't changed is that I still haven't found a tall and handsome boyfriend."
Su Wan: "..."
Suddenly, the room fell silent again. Su Wan looked up towards the door, where the orchestra's Conductor Joseph and Fu Weiheng were walking in, deep in conversation. Both of them wore serious expressions.
Upon seeing them, everyone instinctively quieted down.
After exchanging a few words with Joseph, Fu Weiheng stood by the conductor's podium and spoke with a stern expression. "The performance is scheduled for next month on the ninth. We have one month left for practice, and I will be with you all the way. Let me emphasize once again: as usual, no one is allowed to take leave until the performance is over."
The authoritative tone left no room for refusal, and everyone present had more or less gotten used to it. Fu Weiheng was always a meticulous person; when it came to performances, he demanded perfection and excellence.
Therefore, everyone has become accustomed to the tradition in the orchestra of Hanyang that prohibits taking leave before performances, without any complaints. This is largely due to the excellent benefit that after every major performance, the orchestra members are granted a paid leave of fifteen days, which is one of the reasons why everyone is eager to join Hanyang.
Regarding the repertoire for the performance, Su Wan has become quite familiar with it. Under Fu Weiheng's guidance, she has thoroughly studied the rhythm, melody, and emotional nuances of each measure and section. After a short holiday, she can now effortlessly keep up with everyone’s performance.
Throughout the morning, under Fu Weiheng's meticulous supervision, they have played the first movement of "Liang Zhu" countless times. However, they still have not produced a result that satisfies the esteemed musician, and they have yet to move on to the next movement.
As a result, everyone felt sluggish during their lunch break and lacked energy.
Su Wan waited until Fu Weiheng went upstairs before taking the elevator up herself. When she knocked on the door and was allowed in, she immediately sensed a low pressure in the room.
Fu Weiheng was leaning back in his office chair with his eyes closed, his thick brows furrowed. His handsome features appeared particularly cold and distant at that moment.
Su Wan bit her lip and quietly walked over to him. "Neil, are you very tired?"
Only then did Fu Weiheng slowly open his eyes. His gaze softened slightly when he looked at Su Wan. He took her hand and kissed it, wrapping his long arm around her waist and gently pulling her down to sit on his lap. He nuzzled her neck with his nose and replied softly, "A bit."
Su Wan pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... Neil, you don't need to push yourself too hard; just go with the flow."
Fu Weiheng raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Su Wan continued, "Perhaps everyone's unique understanding of the score could make the performance even more remarkable?"
Fu Weiheng paused for a moment before breaking into a knowing smile. "Hmm, I was too eager for results." He leaned in and kissed her lips. "You are right, my lady."
Su Wan lowered her gaze in embarrassment and then asked, "You mentioned this morning that I should come find you. Is there something important?"
Fu Weiheng adjusted her hair and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's very important." After speaking, he raised his hand to open the drawer beside the desk and took out a file folder.
Su Wan, fearing it might be inconvenient for him, had already stood up and moved to the side, looking at him in confusion.
He slowly opened the file folder, pulled out a stack of documents, and then picked up a pen from beside the mouse. He removed the cap and handed the pen to her, saying, "Please sign these."
Su Wan frowned slightly and leaned in to take a look. The papers clearly bore the titles "Share Transfer Agreement" and "Prenuptial Agreement." She immediately recalled what Fu Weiheng had said that day at Aunt Yishi's house and was momentarily stunned. She directly pushed the pen away from his hand and looked at him calmly, saying, "There's no need. I trust you."
Those seven words made Fu Weiheng's heart skip a beat, feeling a warm current surge from his heart that was hard to express.
After a moment, he still insisted on placing the pen in her hand and said sternly, "But Guan Guan, this is my promise to you."
I will never go back on my promise.
In the afternoon rehearsal, everything unexpectedly went smoothly. The people below watched Fu Weiheng, who was gently playing the violin beside the conductor, and were all... astonished!
During intermission, Wen He immediately dragged a chair over to Su Wan's side with an expression of surprise. "Oh my God, Guan Guan, what happened to Mr. Fu? He completely changed during just one lunch break!"
Fatty, who was playing the French horn behind them, also came over. "He actually stopped nitpicking!"
Wen He turned and asked, "Guan Guan, is that you? Did you say something to him?"
Su Wan instinctively denied, "… No."
Fatty said, "That's really strange..."
Su Wan replied, "… Maybe I just lost my mind."
Wen He remained silent.
Fatty was also speechless.
Mr. Fu, you might have a fake girlfriend [smiling].

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for school to start.
Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye returned to school on the same day. Since one took the train and the other flew, Su Wan found it inconvenient to meet them both, so the three agreed to have dinner at Imperial Pavilion at 5:30 PM.
Fu Weiheng happened to have a business dinner that night, also near a hotel close to Imperial Pavilion.
Calculating the time, he first dropped Su Wan off at Imperial Pavilion before heading to his dinner.
The car came to a steady stop in front of the Imperial Pavilion parking lot. Su Wan unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the door when Fu Weiheng called out, "Wait."
Su Wan turned to look at him and saw him pulling out a shiny silver card from his wallet, extending it towards her with an air of nonchalance. "Take it."
Su Wan was speechless.
President Fu, are you filming a scene?
A domineering CEO supporting me?
Seeing that she hesitated to reach for it, Fu Weiheng furrowed his brows slightly. "What's wrong?"
Su Wan raised an eyebrow. "Didn’t we agree that I would support you?"
President Fu responded as if it were obvious, "Yes, so here’s your salary card."
Su Wan glanced at the card.
"……………………"
Have you ever seen a platinum credit card as a salary card?
Fu Weiheng didn’t say much more. He simply opened her bag and stuffed the card inside haphazardly before unlocking the car door. "Go on."
Su Wan glanced at him lightly, suddenly feeling inspired, and imitated his tone to say, "Oh... President Fu, how generous you are."
Fu Weiheng: "..."
Not long after Su Wan sat down in the private room, the two of them arrived.
As soon as they sat down, Xu Chengyang couldn't help but tease her, "Wow, Sumerian, you’ve become even more beautiful after a winter break."
Su Wan raised her eyes to look at her calmly and replied, "Jealous?"
Xu Chengyang was speechless: "...You shameless!"
Yao Ye gleefully glanced at Xu Chengyang: "…You deserve it."
Xu Chengyang: "..."
This life is unbearable!
Yao Ye flipped through the menu: "Just released from the little black room and still not learning your lesson?"
Xu Chengyang then remembered that she had been pulled into the little black room by Su Wan for a week a few days ago and innocently muttered, "I was just curious... Besides... I already asked very subtly..." She then turned to Su Wan with sparkling eyes, "So, Guan Guan, did you all applaud?"
Yao Ye: "………………"
Su Wan weakly rubbed her forehead: "………… Let's order."
After finishing the meal, Xu Chengyang suggested going to Hang Lung across the street, and both agreed without hesitation.
As they exited the Imperial Pavilion, they unexpectedly ran into someone at the door.
Xu Chengyang was always sensitive to handsome men and immediately recognized the figure: "Hey! Isn't that Jiang Lawyer!"
Su Wan was taken aback and looked in the direction Xu Chengyang pointed. Jiang Zhi Yan had just hung up the phone and turned around, locking eyes with Su Wan. He nodded at her from a distance and then walked over, greeting her with a gentle expression: "What a coincidence."
Xu Chengyang laughed heartily: "Yes, yes."
"Are you here for a meal?" he asked while looking at Su Wan.
Yao Ye glanced at Jiang Zhi Yan's subtle expression and replied: "We just finished eating and are about to leave."
Only then did Su Wan look up at him: "You... alone?"
Jiang Zhi Yan smiled: "With a friend."
A moment of inexplicable silence passed. Jiang Zhi Yan checked his watch, preparing to excuse himself, but Su Wan suddenly said unusually: "When do you have time to chat? I... have something to tell you."
Jiang Zhi Yan was momentarily stunned, but a smile soon crept into her eyes as she responded cheerfully, "Alright, I'll contact you again."
Su Wan nodded.
Then, Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye watched in astonishment as Jiang Zhi Yan left, caught in an indescribable situation between the two.
Ten seconds later, Xu Chengyang couldn't hold back anymore: "Guan Guan! Are you trying to make Deity jealous?"
Yao Ye suddenly started singing: "Love is a light, so wonderful???"
Su Wan: "……………"
Xu Chengyang: "Is this the courage Fish Leong gave you???"
Yao Ye retorted: "Isn't it Stefanie Sun's green light???"
Su Wan: "……………………"
The two couldn't contain themselves any longer: "Come on, say something!!"
Su Wan sighed: "Jiang Zhi Yan... is my cousin..."
Xu Chengyang: "？？？"
Yao Ye: ".........................."
One minute later—
"Wow!"
Without a doubt, the exclamation came from Xu Chengyang: "In just one winter break, you not only got proposed to but also gained a cousin???"
Su Wan emphasized, "He is my mother's nephew."
Yao Ye had finally regained her composure: "Tell us your story."
In the end, Su Wan no longer kept it a secret and shared a brief overview with them. Both of them had always known that Su Wan's father had passed away a few years ago, but as for her mother, Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye had never heard Su Wan mention her.
During their freshman year, there was a time when Yao Ye unknowingly asked Su Wan, "So what does your mom do?"
At that moment, Su Wan's originally cheerful expression suddenly turned cold, and she replied lightly, "I don't know."
Both of them were taken aback by Su Wan's indifferent demeanor and immediately fell silent.
Since then, Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye had tacitly agreed not to bring up her mother in front of Su Wan again.
