Upon finishing his shower, Ye Junqi stepped out of the hotel bathroom to find Fu Zhuo and Xiao Yun entering the room, one after the other.
“Junqi, look at this.” Fu Zhuo, visibly upset, opened a photo on his phone.
Ye Junqi, just out of the shower with water dripping from his wet hair, took the phone from Fu Zhuo. As he dried his hair with a towel, he absentmindedly glanced at the screen and his eyes narrowed.
There in the photo, Xiaoyuwei’s ex-boyfriend was holding her in his arms. It was an overly intimate, almost beautiful scene.
“Who sent this to you?” Ye Junqi asked, his handsome face cool and haughty.
Fu Zhuo explained, “An employee from the back-end team of Junxing Weibo. Someone posted this photo on Weibo, and several influential users started sharing it. Recognizing Miss Ye, this employee sent me the photo.”
Ye Junqi was seething, yet he forced his anger down as he heard Fu Zhuo’s explanation. He turned his head and gave him a cold glance. “So, the photo was leaked online, and these influential users are spreading it? Who is trying to ruin her?”
Fu Zhuo was speechless. Wasn’t Junqi missing the point? With no choice, he reminded him tersely, “Junqi, Miss Ye is not respecting any boundaries. You wear the clothes she selects for you and value the gifts she buys. Despite all this, she’s meeting her ex-boyfriend behind your back while you’re away. What’s worse, they were caught on camera and it’s now online!”
Although Ye Junqi certainly felt uncomfortable, the fact that influential users are spreading the photo forced him to think more rationally and he retorted, “Did you see it personally?”
“Isn’t the photo clear enough?” Fu Zhuo shot back.
With Ye Junqi striving to make excuses for Xiaoyuwei, he pondered and said, “Perhaps her ex-boyfriend regrets breaking up with her and wants to entangle himself with her again. He might have forcibly hugged her just as someone took this photo to create misunderstandings. It’s a cliché plotline from romance novels.”
Once, he didn’t know how to win Xiaoyuwei’s heart. When a female assistant recommended he read some ‘dominant CEO’ romance stories, he was initially resistant but still glanced through some in his desperate circumstances. As a result, Ye Junqi was familiar with most clichés from those novels.
Fu Zhuo kept silent. “Junqi, can you stop deceiving yourself? The photo clearly shows their intimacy!”
Ye Junqi retorted coldly, “She’s not the kind to go back to her ex. Tell the official microblog to clean up the photo online!”
He glanced at the photo again, more displeased than before, and commanded frostily, “Go and deal with this. Don’t give any ammunition to the civil affairs authorities.”
Fu Zhuo was left speechless again.
Yunqi really was blinded by love, he thought. His girlfriend was probably cheating on him, and he was still making excuses for her.
At this moment, Xiao Yun came over with his phone, “Junqi, take a look at this.”
“What’s this about, and who sent it?” Ye Junqi, now wary, felt that tonight was not a good time to be taking in surprising news.
Xiao Yun shared, “It’s a video sent by one of my former comrades who’s currently working as a bodyguard for the President.”
Only then did Ye Junqi take the phone and play the video.
Soon, the hotel room was filled with the melodious singing of Ye Xingguang. Her angelic voice sent chills down their spines…
As the song ended, Ye Junqi sat on the sofa, replaying the video. His thin lips slightly pursed, he tried to make sense of the lyrics, some of which were familiar phrases he had uttered to Xiaoyuwei.
You said, It’s alright, I’m here (It’s all right, I’m here)
You said, I will always be (I will always be here)
You said, I’m willing (I’m willing)
You said, Anyway, I will never regret (No matter what, I will never regret)
He had said these words to her ten years ago on the sea when she had cried and begged him not to save her, fearing he might lose his own life…
As he reflected on the entire lyrics, Ye Junqi fell into deep thought. Could Xiaoyuwei have written this song for him?
