CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 31 DECLARATION OF SOVEREIGNTY_2

Mr. Fu’s brow furrowed as his hand, originally reaching for the water glass, extended towards the silver-gray phone. He knew Su Wan’s phone password. Since they had been together for a while, sometimes when his phone ran out of battery during a business call, he would borrow Su Wan’s phone.

Fu Weiheng skillfully unlocked and opened Gu Ming’s WeChat. On the gray chat wallpaper, there was just one message from a minute ago—

"Wanwan, have you eaten? Can we talk?"

Fu Weiheng let out a cold sneer.

Wanwan?

With a silent slide of his long finger, the message was deleted without a trace.

...

Returning from the restroom, Su Wan asked, "Ready to go?"

Fu Weiheng turned off the phone screen, stood up, walked over to sit beside her, took her phone, and opened the camera function, speaking concisely: "Wanwan, I also need a phone wallpaper."

As he spoke, he placed an arm around her shoulder, raised the phone, and quickly pressed the shutter before Su Wan could react.

Su Wan stared at the photo.

Being taken off guard, her expression toward the lens was a bit wooden. She then looked at Fu Weiheng, who had a smile on his lips, handsome and extraordinary.

Su Wan wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, trying to grab the phone: "I wasn’t ready."

Fu Weiheng leisurely raised the phone above his head: "You’re beautiful no matter how the photo is taken."

Su Wan’s cheeks turned red at his words, reluctantly yielding. She could find another chance to take more photos later...

Fu Weiheng took out his wallet and handed it to her, his eyes still on the photo: "You go pay the bill. My phone is running low on battery; let me borrow yours for a call."

Su Wan replied "Oh" and got up with the wallet to head towards the cashier.

Seeing her walk away, Fu Weiheng directly opened her WeChat, first sending the photo to himself, then uploading it to her Moments, adding text, and posting it. Finally, he opened his own WeChat and posted his very first Moment.

After all this, he picked up Su Wan’s bag, nonchalantly walked to the cashier, put the phone back in her pocket, and held her hand to leave.

The car drove onto the road, with Fu Weiheng driving slowly along the street.

Su Wan glanced sideways, noticing his expressionless face, seemingly displeased. The atmosphere inside the car suddenly felt a bit oppressive, and just as she was about to speak, her pocket suddenly vibrated several times, prompting her to take out her phone first.

Upon looking at the screen, she saw endless notifications of new messages, causing Su Wan to click in.

As expected, the first thing she saw was a barrage of emoji sent by Xu Chengyang.

Fu’s Devoted Little Chengyang: "Su Wan! Too much! Teaming up with the God to boast about your relationship."

It’s Yao Ye, not Wobbling: "It’s a critical hit!"

Swan: "?"

Fu’s Devoted Little Chengyang: "Look, Yao Ye, look, she’s pretending to be dumb!"

It’s Yao Ye, not Wobbling: "Outrageous!"

Su Wan was dumbfounded, trying to reply but accidentally exited the group chat interface, resulting in her noticing the 78 red message notifications in shock.

Clicking in, she found 42 likes and 36 comments...

The likes came from a Moments she posted twenty minutes ago—

A photo of her and Fu Weiheng at the restaurant, with the text [Mr. Fu]

Comments as follows:

Wangzai Xiaocaitou: "Holy crap!!! Is this Fu Weiheng?????"

Mendel Jin: "Holy crap!!! Boyfriend??? Is it Fu Weiheng???"

Qiaozi: "Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap!!! Fu the God???"

Ah Min: "A perfect couple, a pair made in heaven!!!"

Fu’s Devoted Little Chengyang: "Holy crap!!! Are you flaunting your relationship???"

It’s Yao Ye, not Wobbling: "Heartbreaking, Wanwan, caught off guard with dog food."

Jin: "Haha, Wanwan, finally willing to show off your relationship with Neil?"

Qin Yan: "..."

Mumu Baby: "...Sis, what can I say???"

Wenwen Wenhe: "Wanwan? You guys??? You and Mr. Fu???"

Mozart’s Little Brother: "...Goddess, your man’s skills are so high, thank goodness I was born two years later..."

Pagnana: "Simply amazing Wanwan, simply amazing!!! Fu the God is simply handsome beyond words!!!"

Old Captain: "*Covers face* Envy, jealousy, hate!"

...

Raising her head from a heap of comments, Su Wan turned her shocked gaze towards the man driving, it must have been him who posted it...

The man seemed to sense her gaze and turned his head slightly to glance at her with a calm demeanor: "What?"

Su Wan held up her phone, displaying the Moments in front of him: "Did you post this?"

Having driven to the entrance of Yan University, he gave a low "Mm," then gently pressed the brake to stop by the roadside, unfastened the seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked to her side to open the car door.

Su Wan stepped down from the car, and after he closed the door, she murmured very softly with a tinge of dissatisfaction: "Didn’t we say we wouldn’t make this public yet..."

This way, wouldn’t everyone at the company know about their relationship...

Fu Weiheng, with a faint expression, raised his hand to support the car door, enclosing her between him and the Cayenne, finally answering seriously: "If I don’t declare my ownership soon, you’re going to be illegally occupied."

Su Wan: "..."

Seeing her mood not improving, Fu Weiheng sighed powerlessly and embraced her in his arms, finally couldn’t help but ask: "Wanwan, why didn’t you tell me about the forum?"

His tone was filled with undisguised heartache and helplessness.

Su Wan’s breath hitched, and the fragile barrier in her heart instantly crumbled, her eyes welling with heat. As she blinked, tears uncontrollably rolled down.

He knew, he always knew.

"I said before, no matter what happens in the future, I hope the first person you think of is me." He said, "Wanwan, I’ve been waiting for you to tell me."

"I know you have your own ways of dealing with things, you didn’t want to tell me because you thought you could bear it all alone."

"But, Wanwan, it’s different now, you have me. You can rely on me, you can complain to me, cry to me, you don’t even have to be that strong anymore, just hide behind me and let me bear everything."

"I don’t know how much pain and hardship you’ve gone through before meeting me, I just wish that after having me, throughout my lifetime, I can always protect you and let you live carefree to the end."

The streetlights lined up, standing motionless by the street, as if branding holes into the night sky.

His deep and mellow voice gradually melted the cold air, gently and softly tapping on her heart and eardrum.

In an instant, Su Wan was overwhelmed with sobs.

She once couldn’t bear such rumors and slanders.

Over the years, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to rely on someone. At her core, she was not strong at all; she was more vulnerable than anyone else. Ever since her father passed away, she had kept her heart hidden, not wanting anyone to see her weakness. She had no father, no support, she had to bear all the grievances and pain alone, because she believed no one would ever give her the security her father did.

Until she met Fu Weiheng.

His gentle strength, his meticulous care, his sincere treatment gradually opened her heart.

She never thought of relying on him, but she had grown accustomed to being independent. For a moment, it was difficult to adapt and change, her first instinct was to worry whether her troubles would bring negative impacts on him.
