Falling tonight

Chapter 1: Waiting all night
"Xing Bao, Mu Zhou and I are not a couple, and he didn't admit our relationship in public today."

"What?" Xu Xingbao choked on the other end, "You, you are all like that. Living together again, we are not a couple, are you playing a couple's game?"

Xu Xingbao couldn't believe it.

Except for Zhao Rou who stayed at Muzhou's house after she was injured, Xu Xingbao spent time with Zhao Rou almost every day. It can be said that she is the person who knows the relationship between them best.

The two of them are sweet every day and go to and from get off work together. How could they not be lovers?

"Games...are just games for adults."

Zhao Rou sighed softly and didn't want to say more.

The paparazzi took several photos of the embrace from different angles. Each photo was intimate and natural, just like a couple in love who couldn't let go.

No wonder the media writes that.

Forget it, stop reading.

The more I look at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

Zhao Rou closed the Weibo page and said in a tired voice, "Xingbao, I'm a little tired. I'll hang up now."

"Okay, don't worry about it. If you need me, I will go over and accompany you at any time."

Xu Xingbao worriedly asked.

The phone hung up, and the phone kept prompting for text messages.

Tian Yingying: "Baozi, I saw the news broke late at night, did you and Mu Zhou break up?"

Li Sijin said, "Xiaorou, are you asleep?"

News came one after another.

Only the black profile picture at the top was sitting quietly in the list, without any messages from him.

That’s all, I’m not looking forward to it anymore.

go to bed.

Zhao Rou turned her cell phone to silent mode, threw it aside and buried it under the quilt.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The dark blue sky in the distance gradually turned into light blue, and then turned white.

Zhao Rou lay on the bed with her eyes open, not sleepy at all, staring straight at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

I just spent the whole night in a daze with my eyes open.

It wasn't until the sky became completely bright that Zhao Rou got up and walked to the bathroom.

I was startled by the person in the mirror.

She hadn't closed her eyes all night, her face was pale and without any blood, and there were dark circles under her eyes, like giant pandas.

Some embarrassment.

I still have to go to work today, how can I go out to meet people like this?

After washing up, Zhao Rou patiently put on light makeup to make herself look better.

After tidying up, she walked out of the bathroom, took her hand off the bed and saw a dozen phone calls on the screen.

The callers were all the same person - Mu Zhou.

What was he doing on the phone at four or five in the morning?
Zhao Rou held her phone, and her heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, suddenly began to beat rapidly again.

The phone vibrated again.

The caller illuminated on the screen was still Mu Zhou.

Did he call her so many times to explain the paparazzi photos, or... to draw a clear line with her?

The phone rang three times in a row. When the ringtone was about to disappear, Zhao Rou pressed the answer button.

After the call was connected, there was a long silence on both ends.

No one spoke up first.

For a long time, Zhao Rou almost thought there was no one on the other end of the phone.

Then I heard a hoarse and dark voice, "Xiao Rou."

Zhao Rou tightened her hand on the phone and turned to look at the bright sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Today was cloudy and gray, as depressing and heavy as her mood.

"Yeah." She said through her nose.

"I'm at your door, open the door."

Zhao Rou opened her lips slightly and was stunned.

Wasn't he in the hotel with Xiao Xinyun?
Why did you come to her house?Biting her lip, Zhao Rou replied, "I'm not at home."

There was silence for a while, and Zhao Rou heard him say, "I have surveillance footage of your living room on my phone."

So, he knew very well if she was lying.

What? !Zhao Rou was shocked.

When did this guy install surveillance in her house and link it to his mobile phone?

Zhao hurriedly left the room, walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Mu Zhou was leaning against the wall outside the door. When he saw the door open, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Rou.

"Why am I sleeping so deeply? I don't answer the phone and can't hear the doorbell."

Zhao Rou took a step back almost subconsciously.

Mu Zhou's movement of reaching out was suspended in the air, and he froze in place, staring at her with complicated and deep eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

He was still wearing the suit he wore at the press conference last night, and his face was not as good as the day before. It was only seven o'clock in the morning, why did he show up at her door?
Muzhou lowered his arms, looking tired, "Go in and talk."

Zhao Rou didn't move her body, "I'm going out to work."

It means it is inconvenient to enter.

Mu Zhou walked up to her, lowered his head and looked directly into her eyes, his eyes as deep as a bottomless black hole.

"I know exactly when you have breakfast every day, or do you want me to carry you in?"

Zhao Rou looked up at him, holding her neck and saying nothing.

Silent rejection.

The next second, his body was suddenly picked up by strong arms.

"what!"

Zhao Rou exclaimed, then started beating and struggling with her hands and feet.

"Let me go! Get out"

As soon as he got close, a faint smell of perfume came from his body, making Zhao Rou feel uncomfortable in his stomach just by smelling it.

That smell didn't belong to her.

I just hugged another woman in the middle of the night, and now I hug her again, what do I think she is!

Zhao Rou struggled so hard that Mu Zhou never knew she was so strong.

Afraid that she would fall, Mu Zhou took her in for a few steps and then let her down.

"Don't lose your temper," Mu Zhou still held her hand, with a hint of tiredness in his brows.

"I've been waiting for you at the door all night, and you have the heart to drive me away?"

Zhao Rou frowned coldly and shook off his hand, "One night? The President Mu I saw spent one night in the hotel with a woman."

"you saw it?"

Mu Zhou swallowed dryly, his voice low and hoarse.

Her hand broke away from her own, her whole body was covered with thorns like a hedgehog, and she was extremely reluctant to touch him.

He was a little distracted.

"I've already had someone suppress the news." Muzhou approached her and resisted the urge to hug her, "I just sent her to the hotel last night, and nothing happened to us."

His toes touched his own.

Zhao Rou took another step back, distanced herself from him, and escaped from the area surrounded by the scent of his perfume.

"Do I look like a fool?" Zhao Rou raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Zhou emotionlessly.

The stone hammer was released, but he was still telling lies with his eyes open.

Mu Zhou frowned and his eyes instantly became cold, "Those photos posted by the paparazzi were all taken at specially chosen angles. I sent Xin Yun in in the early morning, stayed there for a while and then left."

In Asia City, the Li family has always controlled the direction of the city's media. With Li Jiangli's relationship, scandals related to him have almost never appeared in front of the public.

No media dared to break the news about his scandal.

The Weibo hot search that suddenly reached the top in the middle of the night last night plunged him and Xiao Xinyun into a whirlpool of public opinion.

Because the news broke in the middle of the night, public relations actions were delayed for a long time.

By the time these comments were completely deleted, it was already two hours later.
