Chapter 147 He Turned His Fake Marriage into a Real One (7)
The next day.
The phone on the bedside table, which was on silent, lit up and then went off countless times.
People who are asleep are completely unaware of this.
[Host! Host!! Get up! Something's happened!!]
Disturbed from her sleep, Chu Yu impatiently shook her head, trying to shake off the annoying voice.
Unfortunately, the little milk cake was determined to force her to turn on the machine.
【You'd better really have something to say!!!】
[Your affair with a male model at a nightclub yesterday has been exposed by reporters.]
【…】
The startup effect is excellent.
One sentence successfully woke up someone who was fast asleep just a second ago.
Chu Yu reached for her phone, which was on the bedside table.
Good guy.
New messages 99+
99+ missed calls
……
Rong Yanxiu must have put her phone on silent after she fell asleep yesterday.
They did nothing last night.
Because there was no umbrella.
She also disagreed with Rong Yanxiu sending a servant to buy it.
In the end, Xiao Rong had no choice but to stand guard all night, standing even more upright than a meerkat in a zoo.
She slept soundly in her familiar embrace all night, oblivious to the world around her.
It wasn't until now that Little Milk Cake forced me to turn it on.
Chu Yu recalled their arranged marriage and instantly realized the impact such a scandal would have on the large family.
Ignoring the string of "greeting" messages from the Chu and Rong families, she clicked on the only contact that was pinned to the top without a second thought.
Mr. Rong: [Are you up?]
Mr. Rong: [Regardless of what anyone said, contact me as soon as you wake up.]
Mr. Rong: [Don't worry, I'll handle it. Don't pay attention to any news or information you see.]
……
Before opening his chat window, Chu Yu glanced at the string of avatars with red circles in the upper right corner.
She believed that the person most worried about her in this matter was Rong Yanxiu.
However, of all the people who messaged her, he messaged her the fewest.
There are only three.
Both of these instructions were to tell her not to care what the news or other people were saying, and to leave everything to him.
Chu Yu could imagine how chaotic things must be for the Chu and Rong families right now.
She, as the person involved, never came forward.
Then all the cameras and eyes must be pointing to the other protagonist—her husband, Rong Yanxiu.
Just as Chu Yu had suspected, Rong Yanxiu had been besieged for the entire morning.
He had received the news just before it broke, but someone released the information before he could take action and even bought the streaming rights, pushing the data to the top of the trending list in just a few minutes.
He knew there were people pulling the strings behind this, but the situation was urgent, so he had to deal with the public relations issues first and give the elders of both families a reasonable explanation.
Yu: [I just woke up, how are you?]
Unexpectedly, Rong Yanxiu called immediately after receiving the message.
Chu Yu paused for a few seconds before answering the call.
"Hey?"
"Did you sleep well? Did someone wake you up?"
Chu Yu glanced silently at the art clock on the wall.
He muttered a defense of himself: "I can't sleep that much. I woke up on my own."
Feeling somewhat guilty, his voice grew softer and softer, and he mumbled the last few words.
Rong Yanxiu listened carefully to the little girl's confident rebuttal and couldn't help but chuckle, "Hmm, Madam is truly remarkable."
It was clearly a compliment.
But hearing this made her cheeks flush.
Thankfully, they weren't having a video call.
Knowing the man was intentionally changing the subject to avoid making her too nervous, he said, "I'm sorry about yesterday..."
"The Rong family has brought the public opinion under control. We'll come out together later to explain the situation, and everything will be fine."
"I've already explained to the elders of both families. If you don't want to reply to their messages, you don't have to pay attention to them."
"Also, there's no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. You were just a consumer going to a nightclub for entertainment. You didn't break any laws or regulations, nor did you violate any public order or good morals. Got it?"
Just as stunned by these words as Chu Yu was Zhou Ming, the special assistant who was standing next to Rong Yanxiu, who was preparing to report to him.
He had followed Rong Yanxiu for nearly ten years, and he was quite certain that this was the first time Rong Yanxiu had spoken so much in one breath without showing the slightest impatience.
Zhou Ming was present at almost every interaction between Rong Yanxiu and his wife.
Therefore, he found it hard to imagine Rong Yanxiu using such a gentle tone to comfort his nominal wife while holding the phone.
The other end of the phone was so quiet that only the soft sound of breathing could be heard.
Even though the next meeting was about to start in three minutes, the man didn't urge her, quietly waiting for the young woman opposite him to process what he had just said.
"Rong Yanxiu".
"I'm here."
"Thank you."
"Between husband and wife, we don't say thank you. I accept this thank you, but please don't say it again, okay?"
Accepting this thank you is a formal way of saying goodbye to the past.
From this moment on, from this day forward, there will be no more thanks between them.
Chu Yu understood the meaning behind the man's words, and replied, "Okay."
"Chairman Rong".
Zhou Ming called to him softly, silently pointing to his watch to remind him that the meeting was about to start.
This was his job; he had done it countless times before.
However, this time he unexpectedly received a glare from his own boss.
"..."
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I heard the boss gently whisper into the phone, "It's okay, I'm not busy."
"..."
fine :)

Rong Yanxiu was known for his ruthless methods.
Within half a day, there wasn't a single piece of information about Chu Yu going to a nightclub on the entire internet.
Surprisingly, just as Chu Yu sat down at the table to eat her late lunch, Rong Yanxiu strode in from outside.
The hand that was halfway out to grab the bagel froze in mid-air as it stared blankly at Chairman Rong, who should have been busy at the company.
The man showed no remorse for skipping work, and naturally sat down next to his wife, casually taking the bagel she hadn't had time to take and placing it on her plate.
"Did you wash your hands?"
Chu Yu slowly withdrew her hand, picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. "You washed up. Why are you back so soon?"
Hasn't the matter already been resolved?
Why is he off work so soon?
Could this matter be so serious that it affects Rong's project, causing Chairman Rong to lose his job halfway through?
A slight pain in her forehead interrupted her random thoughts.
She turned her head and looked at the culprit with resentment.
Rong Yanxiu placed his fingertips on the spot where he had just been flicked and gently rubbed it. "Can't you wish your husband well? How am I supposed to earn money for you now that I'm unemployed?"
It turned out that she was so shocked that she had muttered out all the outrageous guesses in her mind.
Before she could speak, Rong Yanxiu reached out and took the cup from her hand, took a sip of coffee, and continued to explain, "On the surface, Yansong is in charge of Rong's business, so there's no need for me to be there all the time."
As for why I came back at noon—
The last syllable of his voice was drawn out slightly, causing the girl to look up and meet his deep eyes.
Seeing the little girl's curious expression, Rong Yanxiu chuckled, patted her back with his large hand, and said in a low, seductive voice, "Of course I want to come back and be by my wife's side as soon as possible."
