Full Level Sweet Indulgence: The Big Shot Became Addicted to Me After the Announcement - Chapter 55

“Wifey, I have something to confess.”

Li Muli cast him a light glance, tilting her chin up proudly as her eyes signaled the man.

“I made our relationship public.”

Li Muli: ??

Frantically opening Weibo, the endless stream of private messages and comments caused her phone to lag repeatedly.

Several blazing red “trending” tags topped the hot search list.

She nearly blacked out.

Gnashing her teeth, Li Muli bit down on the man’s Adam’s apple and scolded angrily, “You jerk.”

“Baby, I’ll kneel on durians when we get home.”

“Then kneel for a whole week.”

Fu Chenyan didn’t dare protest his status in the household was truly precarious.

Online, chaos erupted like a storm.

Those who spread rumors and hurled insults all received legal notices from the Fu Corporation simultaneously.

Meanwhile, others apologized to her, begged for forgiveness, sent blessings, or expressed envy.

After a moment’s thought, she handed her phone to the man, gritting her teeth. “Take a photo. We’re going public.”

Fu Chenyan chuckled softly, pressing his lips to the girl’s as the moment was captured.

The cool moonlight bathed the two of them, a couple kissing under the streetlamp.

Their eyes brimmed with laughter and love.

Li Muli v: 【Please keep safe, the future moons and my love for you. @Fu Chenyan】

Attached: A photo of them kissing beneath the moon.

“Libaoooo, be fiercely happy ahhhh!”

“Wuwuwu, the way he looks at her is pure love.”

“Mr. Fu is confirmed.”

“So sweet, oh my god.”

Nestled in the man’s arms, Li Muli scrolled through her phone. Most comments were blessings, making her even more delighted.

Since they were already planning to get their marriage certificate, going public was just fine.

Fu Chenyan watched the girl in his arms, her beautiful eyes curved into half-moons, and his smile widened.

Such a little kid.

One who wore all her emotions on her sleeve.

But he would later realize she was only like this in front of him.

The moon is the highest form of praise.

“I love you” is the deepest expression of affection.

He, too, would keep safe the moon and her love.

Carrying the girl wrapped around his waist all the way home, he set her down as she hopped off teasingly. “Mr. Fu, your waist is quite strong, huh.”

“Care to test it out?”

Li Muli scoffed lightly and ran off to greet Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong smiled warmly. “You’re back.”

Li Muli nodded, then crooked a finger at the man following behind, grinning playfully. “Hurry up and follow me.”

Fu Chenyan shook his head with a soft laugh every day, his wife sweetened him to death.

Except for that diary he had already destroyed.

Everything his dear wife brought him was sweetness.

He really needed to hurry and get her name on the same household register.

“Ruoruo, what are you doing here?” Gu Shi, seeing the girl on the sofa, tightened his bathrobe and casually wiped the water from his hair.

“You’ve been avoiding me.” Her tone was certain, laced with resentment.

Gu Shi avoided Meng Ruo’s gaze, crossing his legs playfully. “Who do you think I am? How could I possibly”

Before he could finish, a pale hand tugged straight at his bathrobe. With just a light pull, everything was exposed.

Gu Shi’s expression shifted, his voice almost icy. “Ruoruo, you’re a girl.”

You should have self-respect.

His eyes seemed to freeze over.

It felt like a clear, sharp slap across her face.

Burning with shame.

How could she not know she was a girl?

But during this time, she had chased after him, clung to him.

If there were any other way, why would she choose to offer herself like this?

Meng Ruo released her grip, biting her lip hard to keep the tears from falling. “A-Shi, I really.”

A soft sob, “I really like you, I can’t help it, I truly don’t want it to be this way.”

“I know I’m pathetic, throwing myself at you and still getting rejected.”

“I’m sorry, Ashi. I won’t be like this anymore.”

Tears kept falling, her words broken by sobs. With each tremble of her shoulders, more of her delicate skin was exposed.

She seemed utterly heartbroken.

Loving someone inherently reduces one to the depths of humility.

Gu Ashi adjusted the girl’s clothes and comforted her gently, “Ruoruo, we’ll always be good friends. You’ll always be like family to me.”

The words “good friends” and “family” erected an impenetrable wall between them.

She knew all too well that Gu Ashi was usually open to anyone.

Yet, she was like an addict, unable to obtain him, unable to forget him.

Meng Ruo wiped her tears and forced a smile, opening her arms. “One last hug, Ashi. I finally want to let you go.”

She had already crossed every line, done everything shameless.

It was enough.

Gu Ashi held her in his arms, gently patting her back. “Ruoruo, you will definitely find happiness.”

“You too,” she thought but didn’t say.

They both knew that after this night, nothing would ever be the same.

They both knew that this loss would be permanent.

Holding each other tightly, their warm breaths mingling, neither wanted to let go.

After a long while, Meng Ruo withdrew her arms, still held in the man’s embrace. She chuckled softly, “Ashi, I should go. Don’t worry about me. I’ll find someone who loves me deeply.”

Gu Ashi curved his lips slightly. “Okay.”

He saw her out, and they walked in silence the entire way.

Ashi, I once loved you with all the passion of my youth.

This time, I’m leaving first.

We will both be happy.

Watching the girl walk away without looking back, Gu Ashi suddenly realized that for twenty years, she had always been the one following him.

She had always watched his retreating figure.

But this time, he was watching her, and she never turned back.

“Ashi, wait for me!”

“You jerk, slow down!”

“Gu Ashi, I’m going to tell on you!”

The words drifted aimlessly in the wind, elusive and intangible.

The promises made in their youth had also grown faint and distant.

Their futures would no longer be intertwined.

Suddenly, a gust of north wind swept through, and a torrential rain lashed against the ground, water splashing everywhere.

It mirrored the turbulence of human emotions.

Gu Ashi’s heart skipped a beat. He grabbed his car keys and rushed out to find Meng Ruo.

He remembered how terrified she was of thunder and lightning.

The rain grew heavier. Gu Ashi searched for her frantically along the way, but she was nowhere to be found.

He dialed her number repeatedly, but her phone was off.

He began to blame himself. How could he have listened to her and let her go home alone?

Gu Ashi called Meng Ruo’s mother, praying silently that the girl had already returned home.

“Auntie, it’s raining outside. Is Ruoruo home?”

“She hasn’t come back, Ashi.”

“Okay, Auntie. I’ll hang up now.”

Hearing the hurried tone in his voice, Meng Ruo’s mother shook her head softly and murmured, “That child.”

Gu Ashi was nearly frantic with worry.

Where could she have gone in such a short time?

Why did that silly girl always make people worry?

“Drink some ginger tea to warm up,” a gentle, refined voice sounded beside her.

Meng Ruo looked up at the man. He was elegant and well-mannered, his every movement exuding warmth.

Yet, there was something vaguely familiar about his features.

Noticing the girl staring at him in a daze, the man chuckled softly. “I asked the auntie to help you change out of your wet clothes. How about drinking some ginger tea to ward off the chill once you wake up?”

His tone was both tender and familiar.

It seemed as if they had known each other for a long time.

Meng Ruo glanced down at the pajamas she had been changed into, then looked up to see the refined and elegant man gently coaxing her with a soft tone.

She realized that after she fainted, this man must have found her and brought her back.

But who was he?
