Chapter 1806: Chapter 1806: Tomorrow’s Star (8)

"Previously, I wanted to explain, but you kept avoiding me." Nian Yue took the initiative to step forward: "The relationship between Xing Chen and me isn’t what you think, you..."

At this time, Fu Xingchen and Nian Yue hadn’t defined their relationship, but the original character had seen Fu Xingchen kiss Nian Yue with her own eyes.

Even if the relationship wasn’t confirmed, it was already quite clear.

Of course, even if they were dating, in the short term, Fu Xingchen couldn’t go public.

He was at a crucial point in his career. If rumors of a relationship spread, those ’wife’ fans might tear his partner apart.

"Whether you have a relationship or not has nothing to do with me." Chuzheng avoided Nian Yue’s reaching hand, the coldness between her brows making Nian Yue somewhat fearful.

This person...

is a bit different from the one she knew.

"Chuzheng, don’t be mad. Will you let me go back, please? I still want to be with you." Nian Yue’s emotional sincerity made it hard for anyone to refuse her.

What would you accompany me for?

To bring me down?

"Miss Nian, you should really consider acting." Chuzheng offered a very honest suggestion.

Nian Yue: "..."

Chuzheng no longer gave Nian Yue a chance to speak and walked directly toward Fu Xingchen.

"Chuzheng..." Nian Yue, not wanting Chuzheng to approach Fu Xingchen in her current state, instinctively reached to pull her.

Chuzheng sidestepped, evading Nian Yue.

However, for some reason, Nian Yue suddenly tilted and fell to the side.

Fu Xingchen was startled and caught Nian Yue in two quick steps.

"Qin Chuzheng, you..."

"Give me back my thing."

Fu Xingchen looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, the words caught in his throat, instinctively asking, "What thing?"

What could he have that belonged to her here?

Chuzheng pointed in the air with her fingertip: "The one you’re wearing on your wrist."

Fu Xingchen followed her gaze and saw the bracelet on his wrist reflected in his eyes.

Fu Xingchen frowned: "This was a gift from Nian Yue."

"Is that so?" Chuzheng cast a glance at Nian Yue, whose face changed slightly: "But this is mine."

Nian Yue never expected Chuzheng to ask Fu Xingchen for it back in public.

What the heck is this move!!

Aren’t you in love with Fu Xingchen?

Fu Xingchen’s frown deepened: "What makes you say it’s yours?"

"There’s a serial number on it, QCZ0917001." Chuzheng’s tone was casual: "The letters are the initials of my name, followed by my birthday, and the last three digits are this bracelet’s code, the only one in the world."

Fu Xingchen had seen the code before but never paid attention; a lot of items have product codes engraved on them.

Nian Yue had said it was nothing valuable, she just bought it because she found it interesting...

This bracelet indeed didn’t look very valuable, just a simple woven leather product with a red bead in the middle.

Fu Xingchen removed the bracelet and checked the code, which matched what Chuzheng said.

Chuzheng typed a number on her phone: "If Mr. Fu still doesn’t believe it, you can call this number to verify."

Fu Xingchen glanced at Nian Yue, whose face was sullen, head lowered, saying nothing.

Fu Xingchen signaled to the assistant behind him, who immediately dialed the number Chuzheng provided. Before the call even connected, the assistant was shocked by the name that appeared with the number and hurriedly showed it to Fu Xingchen.

It was marked as a number belonging to a luxury brand...

"Hello..."

The call connected.

Under Fu Xingchen’s directive, the assistant inquired about the bracelet’s code with the other party.

"Hello, I checked this for you; this code belongs to the customization order of Miss Qin. Because it is a special customization, I cannot disclose other details, sorry."

The assistant hung up the phone, looking baffled.

Neither he nor the agent, Hai Wei, had ever taken this bracelet seriously, thinking it was just a very ordinary bracelet.

Hai Wei had even told Fu Xingchen before that wearing such a bracelet didn’t fit his identity, and the media might write nonsense.

"Mr. Fu, can I have it back now?"

At this point, Fu Xingchen could only be grateful he was wearing a mask, otherwise, he would find it hard to face, and he handed the bracelet to Chuzheng.

"Miss Nian, did you ever tell Mr. Fu that this thing was a gift from me?"

Nian Yue’s eyes widened slightly, and she had already thought, if Fu Xingchen asked later, she would say she didn’t tell him it was from Chuzheng because she was afraid he would refuse to accept it.

Anyway, Fu Xingchen didn’t like her, surely he would believe Fu Xingchen.

But who knew Chuzheng would point it out directly at this moment.

Fu Xingchen’s expression changed again—it was her gift?

"The things I gave before, it seems Miss Nian took credit for them."

These things, the original character found out only later.

Every time she asked Nian Yue to give something, initially it wasn’t delivered, but later it was, and then... and then it facilitated Nian Yue’s and Fu Xingchen’s relationship.

The original character as a matchmaker was also quite frustrated.

Chuzheng didn’t mind causing trouble, as long as she was not happy!

Nian Yue: "..."

Nian Yue was very afraid at this moment that being exposed like this, what would Fu Xingchen think of her? How could she cover it up...

Could this still be covered up?

Chuzheng purchased many things, most of which had records and could be confirmed with a check.

Chuzheng had also mentioned that the bracelet was some luxury item, but she had presented it in a very ordinary box, and who would have thought it would have such traceable coding on it.

At that time, she had seen Chuzheng fiddling with leather cords and thought she was making something herself.

If she had told her it was a luxury item, how could she have kept it from Fu Xingchen?

She did it on purpose...

Chuzheng, after causing the stir, didn’t care what Nian Yue was thinking and left.

"Nian Yue, what is going on here?"

"Xingchen..." Nian Yue’s mind was in chaos, not knowing how to explain.

"Xingchen, let’s discuss this back home; it’s not safe here," Hai Wei said, "Let’s get in the car first."

Even though paparazzi couldn’t get in here, plenty of people were coming and going, and being recognized would be troublesome too.

"Nian Yue, I hope you can give me an explanation." What did it mean that all those things were from Qin Chuzheng?!

All this time, was Nian Yue deceiving him?

-

Chuzheng returned to the villa to be informed by the butler that Gu Yu hadn’t returned yet.

"Where did he go?"

"He went back to the old residence," the butler replied.

"Oh."

Gu Yu went back to the old residence every so often; it seemed more professional examinations or something were done there.

The original character never paid attention to those things before.

Chuzheng initially thought Gu Yu would stay at the old residence for a day or two but didn’t expect him to return that evening and even actively asked her to go to the study.

Chuzheng lived on the second floor, while Gu Yu lived on the third floor.

The third floor could only be accessed by an elevator, and the elevator needed a password; the original character had never been up there, and Chuzheng hadn’t had a chance yet either.

So this was considered Chuzheng’s first time stepping onto the third floor.

Gu Yu was sitting in the study, reading a thick book in English. When he saw her coming in, he just glanced up at her, then returned his attention to the book.

"Have you met your sweetheart?"
