Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Let’s Try It Another Day

The Qingyi Award ceremony caused a huge stir online, as it is an internationally recognized prestigious prize and a key event in all of Asia, various TV stations and media outlets covered the ceremony with exceptional attention to detail.

Xinan’s name remained a hot search topic on Weibo for three whole days, countless netizens and fans commented below, expressing their fondness for Xinan.

As for the news about the "pool hunk," after everyone discussed it, Cheng Yi removed the hot search topic the next day.

Xinan didn’t respond to the speculation about her relationship with Cheng Yi. Instead, this mysterious connection piqued the curiosity of the netizens, who even started a CP (couple pairing) fan club for the two on Weibo, complete with its own super topic.

Xinan, when bored, had clicked into it and read through the abundant fanfiction about her and Cheng Yi, written with explicit and exaggerated details that made her face flush and heart race.

Once, Xinan played a prank and forwarded one of the fanfics to Cheng Yi.

When Cheng Yi received the message, he was in the middle of a meeting with several executives.

The sudden WeChat notification sound in the quiet office left everyone stunned.

However, Cheng Yi opened the message in front of everyone and signaled the person introducing the company’s latest strategies to continue.

Of course, Cheng Yi didn’t read the fanfiction during the meeting. After work, he opened it and spent roughly twenty minutes reading it thoroughly.

After finishing the story, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter and immediately replied to Xinan, "Well written, we should try that out sometime."

Xinan instantly understood what he meant by "try" – it was definitely not as innocent as it sounded.

Her face reddened in an instant, her heartbeat quickened, and she quickly cooled her cheeks with her hands.

After a while, she replied to Cheng Yi with two words, "Pervert."

But her message had no effect. That evening, Cheng Yi was as enthusiastic as ever, hugging and lifting Xinan with bursts of affection.

Later, observing a content Cheng Yi, Xinan deeply regretted ever sending him that fanfiction.

She basically asked for trouble!

"Xinan, I feel like you’re not entirely satisfied," said Cheng Yi, gazing at her pitiful expression and couldn’t resist teasing her.

Xinan turned her head away, showing no intention of engaging with him.

"So, how about another round?" Cheng Yi whispered near her ear with a teasing smile.

At the mere mention of another round, Xinan immediately felt a chill and hastily declined, "No more, please."

Cheng Yi played with a strand of her hair and responded with a light "oh." He then asked, "Were you satisfied just now?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied," Xinan replied through clenched teeth.

Ah, she was going to lose her mind. How could she say such things!

Cheng Yi nodded, pleased, then cuddled Xinan into sleep, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If they really went another round, she might just die in bed.

It would certainly make for a scandalous joke; she wouldn’t be able to show her face in her next life.

Later on, Xinan avoided checking the super topic for many days, until once, by accident, she clicked in and discovered that fanfic had even sold its rights!

And for a sum of 200,000 yuan!

Without a doubt, it was the handiwork of her "explosively rich" Sugar Daddy.

That night, Xinan posed a question to Cheng Yi, "Do you just have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

Her tone was very friendly—she wasn’t really trying to reprimand Cheng Yi, well... maybe just a bit.

Cheng Yi, taking her question seriously, replied, "You don’t need to worry about that. My money is managed by professional financial advisors. They’ll allocate every cent sensibly."

Xinan: "..."

Then Cheng Yi interpreted her question in another way, "What’s up, girlfriend, are you offering to manage my finances?"

Xinan hadn’t meant that, but since Cheng Yi brought it up, she symbolically asked, "So, how much money do you have?"

Cheng Yi gave a ballpark figure—after all, what was his was his, and he owned many properties abroad, too.

Money was no object; he simply couldn’t spend it all.

Hearing this, Xinan was dumbstruck, feeling as if tons of money were floating over her head.

Ah, why must Cheng Yi be so wealthy!!! And why did she have to ask, only to trouble herself?

If she had that much money, she would probably laugh herself awake from her dreams...

With so much money, better let his finance team handle it.

Xinan gazed at him for a while, then, without any backbone, said, "Sugar Daddy, please let me cling to your golden thigh."

"Come here," Cheng Yi invited Xinan without a hint of hesitation, pulling her to sit on his lap.

Xinan shifted her legs awkwardly, searching for a more comfortable position, then cleared her throat twice and spoke up, "With so much money, you must not have a care in the world, right?"

"Having money and being carefree are different matters."

"Well, at least you’re free of financial worries."

"That’s true. But when it comes to relationships, I did have many before." He spoke evenly, but Xinan could tell there was much underlying emotion.

Cheng Yi held Xinan closer, staring intently at her cheeks, tenderly and earnestly speaking, "I used to wonder whether you liked me, and if so, was it a sister’s affection for her brother or was it a woman’s love for a man, whether you liked Han Jibai more or me. These questions used to trouble me deeply."

Xinan listened quietly to Cheng Yi’s words. Turns out he, too, had been troubled by such thoughts, but thankfully, they had made it through together.

"I, too, used to worry about these things in the past, but I’m glad we didn’t miss our chance with each other," Xinan spoke slowly.

"Yes, I almost lost you."

"That’s because you always pushed me away."

"I didn’t want to drag you into my troubles."

Xinan grasped his hand firmly in hers as if to hold not just his hand but his soul, "Cheng Yi, you can’t keep things from me anymore in the future, alright? No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side. Please don’t push me away anymore."

Seeing the resolute look on Xinan’s face, Cheng Yi felt warmth fill his heart, "Okay, I promise."

They exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with deep love for each other.

They had known each other for over a decade, loved each other for nearly as long, and whatever the future held, nothing could separate them anymore.
