After Secretly Marrying the Top Celebrity, I Fell in Love - Chapter 55

The weather in Hengdian has been very pleasant recently, with comfortable and agreeable temperatures and continuous clear skies.

At noon, Fu Yu was taking a nap on a deck chair, wearing an eye mask. She was dressed in her floor-length costume, and the irritating hairpins had all been removed from her head.

The deck chair was propped up next to a towering ginkgo tree, which was said to be hundreds of years old.

Dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell upon Fu Yu, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene, like a colorful oil painting.

Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew, causing the golden specks of light to sway with the shaking leaves.

The painting moved, and the person within the painting suddenly moved too. Fu Yu’s first instinct was to reach for her phone. After finding it, she lazily used her other hand to remove the eye mask from her face.

After turning on her phone, Fu Yu habitually checked the time. There was still over half an hour before filming resumed in the afternoon.

Fu Yu stretched her body widely, then slowly sat up. She sat cross-legged on the deck chair and stretched her limbs.

With nothing else to do, Fu Yu opened Weibo to continue following the public opinion surrounding Bo Yiyan’s trending topic.

At this moment, all negative press concerning Bo Yiyan had completely vanished.

The trending topics had been replaced by a new batch, with terms related to Ye Manqing’s new movie securing the top three spots. Among them, #DoubleDateAnnouncement# firmly occupied the number one spot.

Fu Yu noticed that the term #DoubleDateAnnouncement# had already climbed to third place on the hot search list last night. Clearly, Ye Manqing was using her own influence to divert public attention. As the tide began to turn in Bo Yiyan’s trending topic incident, she seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Fu Yu couldn’t help but admire Ye Manqing’s skill and capability; her actions were flawless.

Oh my! This is so shippable! Having a girlfriend like this would be too blissful. Oh, wait! These two are already married, so it should be wife.

For some reason, Fu Yu suddenly thought of Lin Yu.

“…” Fu Yu quickly shook her head, trying to shake off this absurd thought.

After their first time sleeping together, the two had clearly stated that their relationship would not involve feelings, and they would proceed as “bed partners.” As for “girlfriend,” that was absolutely impossible, and upgrading to “wife” was even more unrealistic.

Suddenly, her phone, which had gone dark at some point, lit up, and a WeChat notification tone sounded simultaneously.

Fu Yu lowered her gaze, unlocked her phone with her fingerprint, and immediately clicked on the unread WeChat message.

Lin Yu: [I’m on a business trip in Jinhua today.]

Fu Yu had just finished reading the WeChat message from Lin Yu and hadn’t had time to reply before another message came through from the other side.

Lin Yu: [I’ll come to see you tonight, okay?]

Counting it up, it had been a month and several days since the two had last met. Since the official start of filming, they had only met once and hadn’t seen each other since.

The two messaged or called each other daily, but it was almost always Lin Yu who initiated contact. Firstly, Fu Yu was indeed busy with filming every day, only having free time after work when she returned to the hotel in the evening. Secondly, Lin Yu would always proactively contact her the moment Fu Yu returned to the hotel.

After a month apart, she actually missed her quite a bit.

The corners of Fu Yu’s mouth lifted into an involuntary smile, and her fingers deftly typed a reply.

Fu Yu: [Sounds good (smiling face)]

Lin Yu: [What time do you finish work today?]

Fu Yu: [Probably eight, as usual.]

Lin Yu: [Okay.]

Fu Yu still had some time, so the two chatted for a little while longer.

Even though they contacted each other every day, either through WeChat or calls, they always found so much to talk about, sometimes talking on the phone for one or two hours straight.

This feeling… was inexplicably like a couple in the throes of a passionate romance.

The afternoon shoot went smoothly, allowing the crew to wrap up exactly at eight o’clock.

After finishing work, Fu Yu and her assistant were the first to leave the set, looking like they were in a great hurry.

The two figures, one behind the other, quickly darted past Zhou Wenhai, instantly catching his attention. The man paused his action of drinking water and turned to look at his assistant beside him.

“Was that… Teacher Fu just now?”

“Yes, that’s right!” The assistant looked up, catching sight of the two figures that hadn’t completely disappeared from view yet.

The distance wasn’t too far, allowing him to distinguish who they were.

“Why is she in such a rush?” Zhou Wenhai frowned and casually asked, “She usually leaves the set last, doesn’t she?”

“Perhaps, probably, she has something urgent to attend to,” the assistant thought for a moment and replied.

Hmm… Maybe she’s dating?!

“…” Zhou Wenhai’s bright, piercing eyes widened suddenly.

“Could it be… that she’s rushing off to a date?”

Since her debut, Fu Yu had never been involved in any rumors. Although she openly revealed her sexual orientation in an interview, Fu Yu had maintained a “single” persona all these years.

No rumors do not mean she genuinely doesn’t have a partner privately. It’s normal for adults to have emotional needs.

Therefore, Zhou Wenhai always assumed Fu Yu had a girlfriend, but he didn’t know if this “girlfriend” was a celebrity or someone outside the entertainment circle.

…

Fu Yu was in a bit of a rush and had left her thermos and Bluetooth earphones in the makeup room, but fortunately, they weren’t anything particularly essential. The reason for her haste was that Lin Yu had just texted her, saying she had already set off and would arrive in about an hour and a half.

Lin Yu was making a special trip from Jinhua after finishing her business there.

It only took twenty minutes to drive from the set back to the hotel. However, Fu Yu needed to go back to the hotel first to shower, change clothes, apply makeup, and then select a perfume.

There was also a very important task: cutting her fingernails. Since Lin Yu wasn’t around, Fu Yu hadn’t bothered to trim her nails, and they had grown a bit long.

So, one hour would just about be enough.

Back at the hotel, Fu Yu first indulged in a delightful milk bath, then applied a clear Korean-style no-makeup look. Choosing her outfit took a considerable amount of time, and she also spent a long time deliberating over her perfume choice.

Checking the time, it was now 9:20 PM—her time management was just right.

Fu Yu found the nail clippers and went to the sofa. Just as she sat down, the doorbell rang.

So fast?! Wasn’t it supposed to be in ten more minutes?

Fu Yu casually placed the nail clippers on the coffee table and stood up to open the door.

“…” The moment the door opened, Fu Yu was stunned upon seeing who the person was.

The hallway was particularly quiet, with a beam of amber light spilling down from above. The woman was wearing trendy long clothes and trousers, a baseball cap, and a black mask.

Even though only the woman’s eyes were visible, Fu Yu recognized her instantly.

“What? Am I not welcome?” Jiang Yiluo raised her hand, slowly removed the mask from her face, and squinted her narrow, phoenix-like eyes at Fu Yu.

“Why are you here!” Fu Yu instinctively questioned, then thought for a moment and added, “Also, how did you know my room number?”

“Do you think I’m omnipotent?” Jiang Yiluo gave a slightly mischievous smile.

“Do you need something from me?” Fu Yu patiently asked, getting straight to the point.

“I actually do have something,” Jiang Yiluo said, instantly dropping the smile from her lips.

“…” Fu Yu slightly frowned and remained silent.

“Teacher Fu, are you just going to leave me standing at the door like this?” Jiang Yiluo suddenly leaned closer, tilting her head toward Fu Yu’s fair neck.

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”

The warm breath lightly touched her, immediately causing a slight tickle on Fu Yu’s sensitive neck.

“You…!” Fu Yu covered her neck with her hand, her beautiful eyes wide, and she swiftly stepped back.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Yiluo took a long stride into the room and walked straight inside.

“…” Fu Yu gnashed her teeth in frustration and, left with no choice, first closed the door, then strode after her.

In the living room, Jiang Yiluo glanced around, specifically looking at the open door of the bedroom, and only after confirming that Fu Yu wasn’t harboring a secret lover did she sit down on the nearby sofa, crossing her legs comfortably.

The woman leaned back, spreading her arms out and resting them lightly on the back of the sofa.

“Teacher Fu, are you dating that person named Bo?” Jiang Yiluo suddenly looked up, sweeping a sharp gaze toward her.

“…” Fu Yu’s smooth brow instantly furrowed, and she angrily retorted, “Did you come just to ask me this? Is this what you meant by ‘having something to discuss’?”

“Yes!” Jiang Yiluo’s eyes darkened, and her expression instantly turned cold.

“I’m explicitly telling you,” Fu Yu said coldly, one word at a time, “No.”

“No?!” Jiang Yiluo expressed extreme doubt and demanded, “If not, why would you step up to help her like that!”

“We’re friends.”

“Heh, friends. I don’t believe it.”

“Jiang Yiluo! Haven’t you caused enough trouble!” Fu Yu suddenly stood up and shouted at Jiang Yiluo.

“…” Jiang Yiluo was taken aback and immediately fell silent.

Fu Yu’s beautiful face, adorned with exquisite Korean makeup, was set. Her moist lips moved, and she said indifferently, “We’ve already broken up. You have no right to interrogate me like this.”

Jiang Yiluo looked as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself, her pale lips trembling: “…”

Fu Yu pointed toward the entrance, saying coldly, “Miss Jiang, please leave!”

“Right now, get out immediately!”

Jiang Yiluo’s eyes suddenly welled up, and in a pitiful, pleading manner, she softly called out, “Teacher Fu…”

Fu Yu remained unmoved, turning her face away to gaze at the dazzling lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Fu Yu immediately realized that, at this hour, it must be Lin Yu who had arrived.

Ignoring Jiang Yiluo, Fu Yu walked straight toward the entrance. Stopping behind the door, she thought for a moment, and ultimately, Fu Yu opened the door.

“What’s wrong?” Outside the door, the moment Lin Yu met Fu Yu’s eyes, she noticed something was wrong with her expression.

“Come inside and we’ll talk,” Fu Yu quickly adjusted her emotions and whispered to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu could never have imagined that Fu Yu’s legendary ex-girlfriend was currently sitting brazenly on the sofa.

The woman’s eyes were red, and she looked utterly forlorn. Anyone who didn’t know the situation would assume she had been wronged and bullied.

However, Lin Yu did not believe in ‘seeing is believing’; she only trusted Fu Yu’s words.

In the next second, Fu Yu gave a concise and clear introduction of the two of them to each other.

“Let me introduce you, this is my ex-girlfriend, Jiang Yiluo.”

“And this is my current girlfriend, Lin Yu.”

“…” Jiang Yiluo fiercely suppressed the rising anger in her heart, staring with reddened eyes at the woman who had suddenly appeared. She tightly gripped her phone with her right hand, her knuckles faintly white from the intense pressure.

Lin Yu sensed an atmosphere of hostility but gracefully extended her hand toward Jiang Yiluo.

“Hello, Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Yiluo slowly rose from the sofa, not even sparing Lin Yu a glance. After giving Fu Yu a reluctant look, she turned and left in a huff.

Lin Yu withdrew her hand, feeling a little awkward, and looked at Fu Yu.

“…” There was a glimmer of tears in Fu Yu’s eyes, and a single, clear tear hung precariously on her long lashes.

In the quiet air, the sound of the door closing echoed.

“Miss Lin, I apologize,” Fu Yu turned around, her beautiful, water-filled eyes looking at Lin Yu as she apologized sincerely.

“To get her to leave, I had no choice but to lie just now.”

“I don’t mind.” Lin Yu took a step closer and gently stroked Fu Yu’s cheek, her eyes burning with deep affection.

“Miss Fu, can I be your current girlfriend?”

“…” Fu Yu’s beautiful eyes, brimming with tears, widened suddenly. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond, completely frozen in place.

Lin Yu tilted her head and leaned in, fiercely kissing Fu Yu’s soft lips and sucking intensely.

Fu Yu slowly closed her eyes, her hands naturally climbing up to cling to Lin Yu’s shoulders.

Her tear-filled lashes gently covered her eyelids, and one by one, her tears fell ceaselessly, like a string of broken pearls.
