The phone on the bedside table vibrated twice. Before it produced a larger sound, a large palm mercilessly pressed on it and answered the phone.
Once the line was connected, the other party’s eager voice sounded, “Shu’er, you should now get up to wash your face and brush your teeth. It’s best to put on a face mask. This magazine photoshoot doesn’t only have one young babe. If you lose to other young babes, you can quickly kill yourself… Bla Bla Bla.”
— “Bla Bla Bla” was Fu Ran’s summary of the rest of the words.
He patiently waited for the other person on the line to finish before speaking, “I got it. I’ll wake Yun… Shu Shu up now.”
Shu’er or whatnot is such a terrible name. Isn’t calling Shu Shu more intimate?
The man on the other end of the phone sounded as if someone strangled his throat. After a long while, he regained his voice, “You, you, you, you… Who are you?”
His voice cracked when he said the last word.
Fu Ran very calmly answered, “Fu Ran.”
The man subconsciously repeated what Fu Ran said. He was about to utter the consonant “F”. Then, he suddenly recalled who Fu Ran was. For a moment, a storm stirred in his head. He did not forget to put on a smile. “President… President Fu. Hello, President Fu!”
Fu Ran softly responded with an ‘mm’ sound and said, “I have to trouble you to bring some breakfast over later.”
“Yes, no problem.”
“Just bring what Shu Shu likes to eat. I’m not picky.”
“Oh, oh… okay.”
……
David Zhang, Yun Shu’s manager, had an ordinary appearance like his name. He was a sturdy and tall gay. At this moment, he was gripping onto his phone, doubting life.
What the frick. Yun Shu’er, this salted fish, <sup>[1]</sup> actually has such a big charm? She could make Male God <sup>[2]</sup> President Fu obey her just by sleeping with him for one night? <sup>[3]</sup>
Obey. He really obeys her.
Looks like he must find time to gain experience from Yun Shu’er!
**********
Fu Ran did what he said he would do. He turned around and went to call Yun Shu to get up. He called a few times. Yun Shu grumbled and refused to get up. She kept yelling that she hadn’t slept enough.
Fu Ran said, “If you don’t get up, you’ll be late for your work schedule.”
Yun Shu’s excellent professionalism forced her to open her eyes. Then, she saw Fu Ran’s extremely good-looking face. Her brain was not yet fully awake and was suddenly attacked by his beauty. Unexpectedly, Yun Shu grumbled to Fu Ran, “Beauty, you look so good. Kiss me once, and I will get up~.”
Upon hearing that, Fu Ran’s movements paused. Then, he actually bent his head and kissed Yun Shu’s cheeks. He said with a hoarse voice, “I’ve kissed you. You should also get up.”
After saying that, Fu Ran walked out of the room and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.
Mm. It is to wash up. I’m definitely not running away. Definitely not!
……
Fu Ran’s kiss made Yun Shu’s brain crash on the spot. However, it only lagged for a moment. Very quickly, it began to run wildly. It was so hot that at any time or the next second, it would spontaneously combust.
— Fu… Fu Ran, he actually… actually… ah ah ah ah ah!
Yun Shu reached out and touched the side of the cheek that had been kissed. Although it was just a peck, it felt like it reverberated in her heart for ages, causing her heart to be unable to quieten down no matter what she did.
……
“Shu Shu, it’s time to wash up.”
Probably because the man washed with cold water, there was still cold water left on his body. In addition, he had a calm expression. Yun Shu also calmed down.
Yun Shu said to herself. Calm down. It’s to fool around and not to fall in love.
Then, the dazed Yun Shu accidentally stumbled. Fu Ran timely grabbed her waist. His cold breath, which became even colder after washing himself in cold water, enveloped Yun Shu’s entire body.
While she was in a daze, the man said in a helpless and doting tone, “Watch where you’re going. Be careful next time.”
