Fu Yuchen closed the car door, bypassed the passenger seat, and drove out slowly.
During the whole process, Lin Zhiyi was forced to look forward and not look back. She didn't even dare to look in the rearview mirror.
When the car got on the main road, Fu Yuchen asked: "Want to listen to music?"
Lin Zhiyi finally came back to his senses and replied: "Okay."
Fu Yuchen played a soothing music.
The melody was somewhat familiar, and Lin Zhiyi didn't pay too much attention to it.
Fu Yuchen saw her reaction and said disappointedly: "Is that a lie?"
"What?" Lin Zhiyi asked confused.
"Didn't Yu Huan say that you liked me very much when you were in school? Why didn't you have any reaction after listening to my famous song?" Fu Yuchen accused.
"I was distracted." Lin Zhiyi touched his ears and explained awkwardly.
When she was in school, Yu Huan chased celebrities a lot. She was young at the time and didn't feel like she fit in without an idol, so she chose Fu Yuchen, a girl she liked, as a fan.
To say that I like her, I don't really like her that much, she's just better than other celebrities.
Later, as she grew older, especially with her background, she would also accidentally come into contact with some celebrities.
No matter how beautiful they are in front of the screen or how many fans they are popular with, in the eyes of businessmen, they are just packaged commodities.
And these "commodities", in front of the real big guys, can only be humble and fawning, and they will even do anything for resources.
It's like breaking the filter.
Of course, you can't say this to Fu Yuchen.
Fu Yuchen didn't care that much. He seemed to just see that she was in a bad mood and started talking to divert her attention.
There were more cars on the road ahead, so he concentrated on driving until the car stopped on the Bund.
"It's rare to relax. I don't want to go back so early. If you don't mind, would you like to walk around with me?" Fu Yuchen made an invitation.
The car has stopped, so it's unnecessary to ask.
Lin Zhiyi didn't really care, she just looked outside and asked, "Are you sure?"
Although it has entered winter, the climate in S city is not too cold, and there are still quite a lot of people on the Bund.
He is a national idol, so isn't he afraid of being recognized?
Fu Yuchen understood what she meant, and immediately took out the standard masks and caps and put them on.
He reached into the storage box and touched the sunglasses. He probably thought that wearing sunglasses would be more eye-catching at night, so he put them back and said, "I feel sorry for you."
Lin Zhiyi didn't know how to answer what he said. So Fu Yuchen just said it casually and got out of the car.
Lin Zhiyi had no choice but to unbuckle her seat belt, and he already opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
The scenery on the Bund is very good, and Fu Yuchen also deliberately walked to places with fewer people. After all, being recognized would be a big trouble.
"That's great." Fu Yuchen took a breath of fresh air and sighed.
Lin Zhiyi was a little absent-minded, so when she heard him speak, she just looked at him subconsciously.
"I have been busy since I was a teenager. Although I have settled here, this is the first time I stand here quietly and enjoy the scenery here." Fu Yuchen said.
A normal girl would be comforted by these words, but Lin Zhiyi didn't seem to know what to say.
Or, she didn't feel that Fu Yuchen needed comfort.
Although he put in a lot of time, he earned wealth that ordinary people could not earn after several lifetimes of hard work.
"Are you always so quiet? Or is it because you are with me?" Fu Yuchen asked with a sigh after seeing her reaction.
"I just don't know what to say at the moment." Lin Zhiyi explained, not forcing herself to cater to him.
"But Yu Huan said you are very talkative." Fu Yuchen said with a little frustration in his tone.
He is a national idol and thinks he is very charming, but Lin Zhiyi doesn't seem to be interested in him, let alone like him.
"Then she should have told you that I just fell out of love." Lin Zhiyi smiled bitterly.
Fu Yuchen probably didn't expect her to be so direct. He didn't know how to comfort her and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's not you who abandoned me, why do you apologize?" Lin Zhiyi pretended to be relaxed.
In fact, she understood Fu Yuchen's temptation and intention, and the reason why she agreed was just to prove that she could walk out without Xiao Ci, or any man.
But sometimes the harder one forces himself, the more counterproductive it may be. Even Lin Zhiyi himself is not aware of this.
Because people's emotions and states are sometimes unclear to themselves, which is called being confused by the authorities.
"Zhiyi, you are a good girl and deserve better." Fu Yuchen is not particularly good at comforting people, especially since they are not familiar with her yet.
"So, did they help me pick you?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"What?" Fu Yuchen asked this time.
If you look carefully, you will notice a flash of panic in his eyes, akin to being exposed.
Lin Zhiyi did not answer, because both of them knew clearly.
"Zhiyi..." This made Fu Yuchen, who had always been proactive, a little at a loss.
She is so smart, she might have seen through it long ago.
But she kept her temper calm, didn't make any noise, and her reaction was just so dull.
"Sorry, maybe I shouldn't reveal it." But he was too deliberate and too anxious about progress.
Lin Zhiyi originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but she couldn't force herself to cooperate with him, or to cooperate with her brother in this play.
Yes, Fu Yuchen was arranged by his brother, and he took great pains.
"Are you really not interested in me?" Fu Yuchen asked.
After more than ten years of being sought after by others, this was the first time he had doubts about his own charm.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him and said calmly: "Perhaps I liked you when I was a girl, especially your appearance. In today's terms, it's just like that that's stuck in my heart."
"I also understand that they must have put a lot of thought into inviting you here. But they forgot that I am already an adult professional woman.
The longer one stays in the business world, the more rational a person becomes, and the period of being easily hot-headed has long passed."
In fact, now that I think about it, she is also hot-headed when she likes Xiao Ci, but that kind of enthusiasm is enough once.
"It seems that my mission failed." Fu Yuchen said regretfully.
"Thank you anyway, it will fulfill a dream I had as a girl." This is not Fu Yuchen's fault.
Fu Yuchen knew that she said this to give him face, so he felt a little ashamed and said, "I'm still glad to meet you."
"Then, can you take me back?" Lin Zhiyi didn't want to waste any more time.
"Okay." Fu Yuchen agreed.
Lin Zhiyi walked in the direction of parking, while Fu Yuchen secretly looked at her.
She is more stunning now than she was at first, and seems to be more charming and inexplicably attractive now.
"Zhiyi." Although it was a little awkward for her to say that after being exposed, he did not change his words.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, waiting for the next step.
"Actually, I was quite annoyed when I started looking for him. After all, I wasn't short of money or resources.
But after meeting you, I changed my mind. If those factors were discarded and I pursued you seriously, would you agree?" This time he was serious.
Lin Zhiyi shook his head.
"Don't you want to come out? Wouldn't it be better to start a new relationship again? Why don't you try with me?" Perhaps Fu Yuchen had never been rejected before, and he seemed a little excited.
"Mr. Fu, although it was my brother who invited you here, I want to say that if I were really attracted to you, he would not agree to us being together." She knew Lin Zhiyan too well.
