After Secretly Marrying the Top Celebrity, I Fell in Love - Chapter 43

In the hotel suite, all the room lights were off, and the mobile phone was connected to the charging cable on the nightstand, with the sound specifically set to silent.

In the darkness, the phone screen suddenly lit up, showing an incoming WeChat message. Less than a minute later, the phone screen lit up again, with another WeChat message coming in.

Fu Yu was in a deep sleep, and since her phone was on silent, she was not disturbed.

She slept all the way until eight in the evening. If it weren’t for the intense hunger that finally woke her up, Fu Yu would have continued sleeping.

Fu Yu gave a big yawn, stretched out her arm, and easily reached the button for the bedside lamp. With a “snap,” the bedside lamp turned on.

Instantly, a large pool of warm, yellow light poured down from above, the halo just barely falling onto Fu Yu, outlining the woman’s delicate facial contours.

Fu Yu’s complexion finally looked a little better, no longer as pale as it had been that afternoon, with a touch of color.

Leaning against the headboard to clear her head for a while, Fu Yu then lazily picked up the phone placed on the nightstand and pressed the button to check the time.

Exactly eight o’clock.

At the same time, the screen showed several unread WeChat messages.

After unlocking her phone with her fingerprint, Fu Yu clicked into WeChat and checked them one by one.

Half an hour earlier, the official cast photos for Nine Heavens had been sent to the work group chat, asking everyone to claim their own to use for their Weibo posts later.

Fu Yu looked through everyone’s cast photos, and finally saved her own to her phone.

Exiting the work group, Fu Yu immediately saw several WeChat messages from Lin Yu. She opened the chat and read them one by one.

Lin Yu: [Miss Fu, is your period pain any better?]

Lin Yu: [Have you eaten dinner?]

Lin Yu: [Are you still not done with work?]

Three consecutive questions, which Fu Yu hadn’t replied to any of because she was asleep.

Fu Yu leaned against the headboard, lowered her cool white eyelids, and lightly touched the screen with her fingertip, skillfully typing the Pinyin letters, and immediately sent a reply.

Fu Yu: [I was asleep just now and didn’t see the messages.]

She thought Lin Yu wouldn’t reply right away, but as soon as the message was sent, the display at the top of the chat box, which read “Miss Lin,” changed to “The other party is typing.”

Lin Yu: [Have you had dinner?]

Fu Yu: [Not yet, I just woke up.]

Lin Yu: [I’ll order takeout for you, what do you want to eat?]

Fu Yu: [I don’t have much of an appetite.]

Lin Yu: [How about seafood congee?]

Fu Yu: [Okay.]

Lin Yu: [Send me your hotel address and room number.]

Fu Yu: [** Hotel, Room 8899.]

Putting down her phone, Fu Yu got up and went to the bathroom, planning to wash her face, brush her teeth, put on a face mask, and then watch a drama while waiting for the takeout delivery.

Curled up on the hotel sofa, Fu Yu watched her drama and occasionally replied to a WeChat message when her stomach suddenly “growled” twice. Fu Yu got up, found a carton of milk, and drank it first to tide herself over.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. At the same time, her phone rang too. After answering, a mechanical woman’s voice came through the phone.

“Friendly reminder, your takeout has been delivered.”

Hearing this, Fu Yu got up from the sofa, put her phone and tablet down on the sofa. Arriving at the door, Fu Yu gently placed one hand on the doorknob and opened the door from the inside out.

The corridor light was not very bright; it was a warm amber tone.

At the door stood a tall, imposing woman. The woman was dressed all in black, wearing a brown baseball cap pulled low, under which was shoulder-length, chocolate-colored hair.

The woman was looking down, and with the brim of the cap blocking her face, only her high nose bridge and beautifully shaped, full red lips were visible.

Although only half of her face was visible, Fu Yu recognized who it was at first glance. Seeing the white gauze wrapped around her left index finger made her even more certain.

“Lin Yu?” Fu Yu’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, “Why are you here?”

Lin Yu slowly raised her head, lifted the takeout bag in her hand, and explained, “I came to bring you your takeout.”

Fu Yu was a little dumbfounded: “You…”

Lin Yu: “What? Are you not going to let me in?”

Fu Yu leaned out, glanced quickly up and down the corridor, and seeing no one, she immediately and swiftly pulled Lin Yu into the room.

With a “click,” she locked the door.

Lin Yu almost lost her balance, leaning against the wall for support, a half-smile playing on her lips, and said, “I say, Director Fu, why are we acting like we’re having a secret rendezvous?”

Fu Yu shot Lin Yu a look and retorted, “Aren’t we?”

“No! Can’t say that, I’m single.”

The smile on Lin Yu’s lips instantly faded, and her eyes also darkened.

Fu Yu noticed the change in the other’s mood, cautiously moved closer, and tentatively asked, “What’s wrong? Unhappy already?”

Lin Yu answered coolly, “No.”

Fu Yu couldn’t help but reach out and pinch both sides of Lin Yu’s cheeks.

“Your acting is terrible~”

With that, Fu Yu reached out and took off the hat on Lin Yu’s head, covering Lin Yu’s lips with an eager kiss.

Lin Yu was pressed against the wall and kissed, the passionate kiss almost taking her breath away. The corners of her eyes quietly became flushed, and her long lashes were damp.

With a quick move, Lin Yu reversed their positions and pinned Fu Yu against the wall. Their four lips instantly separated, a thin, glistening thread of saliva stretching between them.

“…” Lin Yu panted softly, her whole body surging with blood. The corners of her almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned, filled with unconcealed physical longing.

She immediately put down the takeout bag she was holding, placing it on the floor.

Lin Yu gently embraced Fu Yu’s waist with one hand, while the fingertips of the other hand lightly traced Fu Yu’s fair neck, wandering upwards little by little, finally gently pinching Fu Yu’s chin.

“…” Fu Yu breathed continuously, forced to tilt her chin up, her full chest rising and falling intermittently.

The air around them seemed to become heated.

Lin Yu swallowed with difficulty, tilted her head, and kissed Fu Yu’s lips accurately, capturing the soft and agile little tongue in the other’s mouth.

The woman’s kiss was like a storm, making it hard for Fu Yu to catch her breath, giving her a feeling of near-suffocation.

“Mmm… enough.” A soft, crushed moan was swallowed, and Fu Yu, suppressing the flush on her face, pushed Lin Yu away.

“I’m not comfortable these few days. If we keep kissing, I’m going to…” Fu Yu turned her head away, too embarrassed to look Lin Yu in the eye.

Of course, Lin Yu knew that she was on her period these days.

“Let’s eat first.” With that, Lin Yu bent down, picked up the takeout from the floor, and walked straight into the room.

…

Fu Yu went to the restroom to wash her hands. As she walked out, drying the water droplets on her hands with a tissue, she inadvertently looked up and saw Lin Yu squatting by the coffee table, scooping the seafood congee from the thermos container into a small bowl.

The takeout seafood congee was packed in a thermos, so it hadn’t gotten cold.

“…” Fu Yu suddenly stopped. Long-buried memories were uncovered at this moment, and the unforgettable sweet nothings once again pierced the woman’s heart.

“Director Fu, I’m willing to be your puppy for life, please don’t abandon me.”

“Being good in bed isn’t enough, I have to master good cooking skills so I can tie down Director Fu’s stomach.”

“Fu Yu! You are so heartless!”

“You remember this, you were the one who broke up with me, don’t even think about getting back together in the future!”

Fu Yu stood rooted to the spot, her eyes watching Lin Yu slowly turning red, the corners becoming moist. Her gaze was on Lin Yu, but her eyes were unfocused.

Lin Yu looked up and met Fu Yu’s empty gaze, unconsciously tightening her grip on the spoon. Lin Yu knew in her heart that at this moment, Fu Yu wasn’t really looking at her.

“Come quickly and eat,” Lin Yu forced a smile, seemingly flawless, “it will get cold soon.”

Fu Yu was pulled back to reality by Lin Yu’s voice, a slight smile curving her lips, and she softly “hmm-ed,” then strode towards the sofa.

The large LCD screen of the TV was playing a popular costume martial arts drama from this summer. Fu Yu watched it in her spare time, taking it slow, just to pass the time.

Fu Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bowl of warm and comforting seafood congee.

The seafood congee tasted excellent. The congee was thick, and the ingredients were fresh; the crab and clams were well-prepared, without any fishiness. Besides the crab and clams, the congee also contained sea cucumber and fresh shrimp, making the ingredients rich and nutritious.

Fu Yu hadn’t eaten much all day, so she was genuinely hungry now.

Since there were no outsiders, she, the big star, didn’t need to worry about her image. She buried her head and ate the seafood congee in big mouthfuls, eating with great enjoyment.

Lin Yu watched quietly from the side, saying nothing, inevitably recalling the sad look in Fu Yu’s eyes just now.

This was the first time she had seen such a mournful emotion from Fu Yu.

“This seafood congee is really delicious!” Fu Yu scooped another spoonful of congee into her mouth, turned her head, and gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up, “General Manager Lin, you really know how to choose.”

“Truly a food expert.”

“Miss Fu is too kind,” Lin Yu returned a slightly smug smile.

“Haha,” Fu Yu also laughed, her smile bright and radiant.

Indeed, good food can heal everything; it not only warms the stomach but also brings a moment of warmth to a heavily scarred heart.

Due to the need to maintain her figure, Fu Yu only ate one bowl of seafood congee, leaving a lot of congee behind. Lin Yu simply used the bowl and spoon Fu Yu had used to eat the rest of the congee.

Her excuse was: it shouldn’t go to waste.

Watching Lin Yu burying her head in the congee, Fu Yu felt a little absent-minded, trying hard to suppress the surging wave of memories. She got up from the sofa, intending to brush her teeth.

Just as she turned around, Fu Yu suddenly remembered something and turned her head to look at Lin Yu.

“Are you leaving in a bit?”

Lin Yu looked up, her lips glistening with moisture, and asked Fu Yu in return, “Can I stay?”

Fu Yu’s heart was strongly touched by the pleading look in the other’s eyes, and she pretended to be nonchalant, saying, “Suit yourself.”

“But… the Empress cannot attend to the Emperor tonight.”

“However, the Empress can properly favor Consort Lin.”

“…!” Lin Yu took a mouthful of congee, her cheeks puffing out with a slight, endearing difference. It took several seconds for Lin Yu to realize that the “Consort Lin” the other was referring to was herself.

“I don’t want to be any consort,” Lin Yu said after swallowing the congee.

“??” Fu Yu blinked her eyes; this was turning into a real role-play.

“I want to be your one and only Empress,” Lin Yu said, looking at Fu Yu with a serious expression.

“Alright~” Fu Yu squinted her beautiful, captivating eyes and said indulgently, “The Empress will go bathe now and will come to properly favor the Empress in a moment.”

Lin Yu also smiled, letting out a carefree chuckle.

…

In the soft, comfortable white bed, the two, having showered, slept in each other’s arms, having done nothing else.

Fu Yu had been full of fighting spirit, promising to properly favor Lin Yu. Lin Yu also cooperated by lying down obediently, even stripping off her clothes. But then, Fu Yu’s stomach suddenly started hurting again.

Lin Yu quickly put on her bathrobe, frantically looking for medicine for Fu Yu and making brown sugar water.

After taking a ibuprofen and drinking a cup of brown sugar water, the period pain didn’t immediately subside, so Fu Yu had to curl up on her side on the large bed.

Lin Yu also got into bed, hugging Fu Yu from behind, gently and patiently rubbing her stomach.

“Is it feeling any better?” Lin Yu asked with concern.

Fu Yu closed her eyes and softly “hmm-ed” through her nose.

Her thoughts began to blur, and the voice of the person behind her also changed, turning into the voice that occasionally appeared in Fu Yu’s dreams.
