Chapter 166 He Turned His Fake Marriage into a Real One (26)
After Rong Yanxiu finished packing everything and checking his speech, he sent it to Qin Zhengtian. Chu Yu was already fast asleep, curled up in her blanket on the side where he was sleeping.
He got up, quietly closed the laptop and put it away, then slowly walked to the bedside.
I don't know when it started, but she always needs him to hold and coax her to sleep.
Otherwise, things would be like this: even though he's right next to her, she still seems a little uneasy and wants to sleep in the spot he slept in.
It's like a baby sniffing clothes that smell like their mother to feel safe.
Only one wall lamp remained in the room, always on—this had always been Chu Yu's sleeping habit.
The dim lighting effectively concealed the man's expression.
I carefully lifted the corner of the blanket and lay down.
The sleeping girl, with her eyes closed, found a warm embrace by the familiar scent, chose a comfortable position, and drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Rong Yanxiu patted her back gently for a while, and only stopped after confirming that she was fast asleep.
-
A seminar packed with experts is something a newbie like Chu Yu can't fully integrate into.
She sat in the crowd, silently taking meeting notes while looking towards the front.
Among a group of elderly professors with white hair and wearing traditional Chinese clothing, Rong Yanxiu, dressed in a sharp suit, stood out.
Young, handsome, and with an extraordinary presence.
Most importantly, being able to sit in the center position at such a conference speaks volumes about one's academic achievements.
Many of the attendees were foreign professors, so each person was equipped with a translator.
Even someone like Rong Yanxiu, who has no language barriers, didn't wear headphones the entire time.
Chu Yu, on the other hand, didn't take it off the entire time...
It's not that she couldn't understand anything at all.
The main problem is that these people, whether on purpose or not, always seem to pick on Rong Yanxiu to ask questions, especially when there's a pretty and elegant young lady there!
A man's voice sounds more distorted in headphones than usual, but it's still deep and magnetic, so captivating it's almost like your ears are pregnant.
She simply couldn't bear to take off her headphones.
Even the way she looked at the man was filled with admiration and love.
Although she couldn't see his face clearly.
Immersed in the man's deep, magnetic voice, Chu Yu did not notice that his speech paused the moment she looked over.
Rong Yanxiu quickly regained his composure, but some observant people still noticed his extremely rare moment of losing his composure.
During the lunch break, the organizers provided a sumptuous buffet.
When Chu Yu saw the man being surrounded by a group of people and walking towards the restaurant, she prepared to leave with her fellow disciples.
A new message popped up on my phone.
Y: [Sorry, I can't have lunch with you.]
Y: [Take a look at the restaurant's menu and see if you like it. If not, go back to your room and I'll order food for you.]
Chu Yu was surprised to find that the man had changed his name and profile picture.
Click to view the larger image—it's a tattoo design.
The tattoo is simple, with a slightly designed letter "yu," or more accurately, its pinyin.
She stared at the picture for a long time, carefully recalling the man's body.
I can't remember where I've seen this tattoo before.
Perhaps it was just a design sketch and was never actually tattooed on the body.
Rong Yanxiu waited a long time for her reply, then sent another message to inquire—
Y: [Wife?]
Y: [Baby?]
Chu Yu's cheeks flushed. In broad daylight, amidst the clamor of voices, such an almost private nickname was easy to make her feel ashamed.
Fingertips danced rapidly across the screen.
First time meeting you: [I know!]
First time meeting you: [I'll just go to the restaurant with my senior classmates, you don't need to worry!]
Rong Yanxiu was surrounded by people as he entered a private room on the top floor of the clubhouse restaurant. After taking his seat, he finally received a message from his wife.
He completely ignored the incessant chatter in his ear.
His dark eyes stared intently at the girl's newly chosen nickname—"First Time Meeting You."
Why did he interpret these four ordinary words as a love confession?
He could hear his own heart pounding like a drum, vibrating wildly in his chest.
"Mr. Rong?"
"Ah."
After asking a question, the person next to him waited for a long time but Rong Yanxiu did not respond. He inadvertently glanced at Rong Yanxiu and saw him staring blankly at the chat box on his phone screen.
The profile picture looks like a woman?
Rumors suggest that Rong Yanxiu is married.
So this is...?
My gossip instincts kicked in, and I mustered up my courage to glance at it again.
I just wanted to check out some gossip, but I ended up seeing Rong Yanxiu personally delete the note "Mrs. Rong".
"..."
Incredible.
What an earth-shattering revelation!?
Rong Yanxiu knew about his little actions beside him, but he wasn't annoyed and didn't intend to hide it.
He tapped his long, slender fingers lightly a few times.
Y: [Okay, I've ordered dessert and milk tea for you. You can eat them when you get back to your room after dinner. I'll come back to keep you company after I finish eating. Call me immediately if anything happens, okay?]
Then, with a normal expression, he raised his head and looked at the person next to him.
"Sorry, I was replying to my wife's message just now."
There was not a trace of apology on his face, but rather a hint of smugness.
—I don't want to talk to anyone who doesn't have a wife to think about anymore!
The man clearly hadn't expected Rong Yanxiu, who was known in academic circles for his rigorous and serious style, to say such a thing.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he chuckled awkwardly, "Uh, well, your wife is quite clingy, hahaha."
"Do not."
"what?"
He was already drenched in sweat.
Why isn't Mr. Rong playing by the rules?
Rong Yanxiu said seriously, "It's because I'm clingy to her; I can't live without her."
"..."
OK OK.
He was caught off guard and became a warrior under the car for a while.
-
The next few days.
Rong Yanxiu would be invited to be a guest of honor by different people during lunch and dinner.
Apart from gazing at each other from afar during meetings, the two could only meet again when they returned to their rooms to rest at night.
Chu Yu enjoyed this novel way of getting along, and she knew that Rong Yanxiu did too.
—You can tell from the fact that he has a different theme every night.
And she's becoming more and more convinced that this man is definitely a bot!
He worked much harder than I did during the day's meetings, and he also had to attend two meals.
How come he still has inexhaustible energy and endless tricks to torment her even at night?!
One day, she only talked to her senior brother a few more times, and that bastard took her out to play until dawn before letting her go to sleep!
She was so angry that she moved back to the room across the street the next day.
Little did Rong Yanxiu know that this would unlock a new location, making him even more excited...
The only saving grace is that this isn't an entertainment resort hotel, otherwise it might have really been ruined...
No one was more eager for the seminar to end than she was!
