Chen Ziming walked to the door, answered the phone, and walked towards the car while listening.
"Secretary Li showed me your photo," Chen Kang'an's slightly low voice sounded from the other end.
"Yes, I asked her to send it," he replied steadily.
"This is a bit thoughtless of you," Secretary Chen's voice turned stern.
His son had always been steady in his actions, never giving him cause for worry. It was truly unexpected for him to let his photos fly all over the internet.
"I'll handle it."
Trending topics disappear as quickly as they appear. This was not something that would have negative repercussions or involve Chen Kang'an.
It was just a matter of finding other popular topics to push it down, and the released content would no longer receive traffic. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
No one would remember it after a night.
Although it was making a mountain out of a molehill, he had been taught from childhood to be cautious with his words and actions. Weibo had too broad and diverse an audience, making it unsuitable for wide dissemination.
However, the software Su Yue primarily used was better. Most of her fans were young girls, so it wouldn't be a big deal even if it were public.
Chen Kang'an's tone softened, and then he changed the subject: "This morning, I saw her."
"I know."
"She's quite likable. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, bring her home for a meal."
Chen Ziming took a deep breath and replied calmly, as he had that day, "It's too early."
He then said a few perfunctory words, ending the conversation. He then dialed another number to arrange matters regarding the trending topic.
After finishing these tasks, he got out of the car, returned to the restaurant, and sat down next to Su Yue.
"Are you okay?" Seeing that he had finally returned and there was no unusual expression on his face, her heart eased a little, but she was still apprehensive.
"I'm fine." He smiled dotingly and pinched her cheek.
The girl frowned displeasedly and asked, "Should I delete the notes?"
Ji Chan quickly chimed in, "I can delete mine too."
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, vanishing in an instant, and his voice turned a bit colder:
"No need."
Allowing her to be public was one of his few personal desires for her.
Even though she was by his side now, and even though he could see her affection for him growing day by day, he still wanted to leave more of a mark on her life.
Little by little, he wanted to become the most important, indispensable presence in her life.
Ji Chan was still somewhat suspicious, but Su Yue felt a stone lift from her heart.
If he said it was fine, then it was fine.
If he said it wasn't necessary, then it truly wasn't.
"Then I'll keep them. But if my fans recognize you later, don't find it annoying, and be patient with them."
Relieved, her voice regained some of its liveliness.
"As you wish, my baby." A smile returned to his face. He reached out, placed his large hand on her waist, pulled her towards him, and lowered his head to look at her, presenting a perfect profile to Ji Chan.
Ji Chan covered her face with her hands, feeling wronged.
She had made such a great contribution, yet she was repeatedly subjected to such torment.
From now on, when she was with Su Yue, she could never let Officer Chen appear again!
Later that evening, after returning home, he took a call and got busy with work again. Su Yue took a bath first and lay on the bed.
The trending topic on Weibo was gone.
He really... was quite capable.
A short while later, he also finished bathing. Seeing her engrossed in her phone under the covers, he smiled and slipped in beside her.
His hands were not idle, skillfully reaching for her soft form.
"I'm sending a message," she said softly.
"Mmm." He freed one hand to pull her into his embrace and followed her gaze to her phone screen.
He immediately saw the reply she was preparing to send to her fans.
Fan: [Brother-in-law seems to like Sister so much, it's really sweetening my heart!]
She: [I'll punish you by making you look at Sister a few more times. You'll find that Sister's eyes are also full of love.]
"Full of love?" He chuckled softly, lowered his head, and looked into her eyes.
Indeed, a blush reappeared on her delicate little face. She avoided his intense gaze and remained silent.
The more she was like this, the more captivating she became.
But unlike before, when he could only see her through a screen, letting his longing grow wildly in his heart with nowhere to vent.
Now she was in his arms.
Her young, soft skin pressed against his. With a stretch of his hand, he could caress this face that made him fall.
His Adam's apple bobbed. He snatched her phone away, tossed it to the end of the bed, and then, with a flip, pinned her beneath him.
However, he was not in a hurry to kiss her tender, fragrant lips.
Instead, he moved closer to her ear, and his magnetic voice whispered:
"Baby."
Normally, calling her that would make her feel a little shy, let alone now.
A tingling sensation instantly spread through her body from her ear.
Her breathing quickened.
"Mmm," she finally managed to suppress her emotions and squeezed out a sound from her throat to respond.
He let out a laugh, lifted his head, and his burning gaze met hers: "Baby, do you like me this much now?"
