Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 461: Shen Yu Discovered It

Actually, Zhou Yuwen didn't necessarily want to do anything with Tao Tian. It was just that her current gentle and accommodating demeanor truly moved him, making him unable to resist being intimate with her.He pinned Tao Tian against the wall, kissing her cheek. Tao Tian seemed to sense that Zhou Yuwen wasn't in the best of moods today, so she closed her eyes, allowing him to kiss her as he pleased.

During the kiss, Zhou Yuwen's hands didn't stop moving.

Beneath her clothes, Tao Tian wore a front-clasping undergarment. With a gentle tug, it came undone.

Zhou Yuwen continued to kiss Tao Tian just like that, his hands wandering.

...

The two of them were intimate for quite a while before looking into each other's eyes.

To be honest, Zhou Yuwen wasn't in high spirits. Today, he merely wanted to hold Tao Tian so he wouldn't feel so lonely.

Tao Tian seemed to understand his feelings, giving him a gentle smile.

She knew exactly how to comfort him.

So, she lowered her body and squatted down.

...

Zhou Yuwen did not refuse.

He simply changed locations, taking a seat on the sofa and letting Tao Tian kneel in front of him.

At this moment, Zheng Yanyan was truly drunk. When Zhou Yuwen carried her back, she still had a sliver of consciousness. After entering the bedroom, she felt she was finally home, and her mind relaxed. Before she knew it, she had fallen soundly asleep.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted, Zheng Yanyan was actually letting out light snores.

She was sleeping peacefully, but the main issue was that Shen Yu could not fall asleep. She had originally been in a semi-conscious state, and after hearing the things Zhou Yuwen said, she had been pretending to sleep.

Actually, after arriving at Zhou Yuwen's house, Shen Yu knew that even if she didn't want to sleep, she had to keep up the act. Unfortunately, after drinking, her head was pounding with a strange, unbearable ache.

Adding to that was Zheng Yanyan snoring right beside her.

She completely lost the ability to sleep.

She sat up and glanced at Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin beside her. It was no wonder the two of them were such close sisters; they both had tall figures, a slender waist, and long legs that even Shen Yu envied.

'Sigh, they say women from the north have long legs, but why does Lu Lin, a southerner, have such long legs too?' she thought.

'I'm the only one caught between the north and south...'

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts.

Now entirely awake, Shen Yu decided to use the restroom and find some water to drink.

'Speaking of which, Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian should be outside. How should I greet them when I go out?'

This problem seemed very difficult to Shen Yu, but she bit the bullet and walked out anyway, figuring that the worst-case scenario was that she'd just say she sobered up—only to walk into an incredibly awkward situation.

Shen Yu froze on the spot. She saw Zhou Yuwen leaning back on the sofa, while Tao Tian's graceful figure knelt in front of him. Tao Tian was leaning forward, lying prone on Zhou Yuwen's lap, her slender, well-proportioned long legs resting gracefully on the floor.

In just an instant, Shen Yu took in the entire scene before her, and her face instantly flushed bright red. "No, I..."

Shen Yu started stammering out an explanation, hurriedly turning her head away.

At this moment, Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian obviously rushed to clean up the mess.

It was simply too awkward. Zhou Yuwen never expected the drunk Shen Yu to suddenly come out. He hurriedly pulled up his zipper and stood up.

Shen Yu was still blushing and trying to explain. After stammering for a good while, she finally blurted out, "I didn't see anything."

"Weren't you drunk? Why did you come out?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

His question instantly pulled Shen Yu out of her embarrassment. She struggled internally before sneaking a peek at Zhou Yuwen, only to see that he had already tidied himself up and was standing there looking completely serious. Meanwhile, Tao Tian, who had just been kneeling on the floor, was now standing behind him with her head lowered.

Everything had happened too fast. Coupled with her dizzy head, Shen Yu suddenly felt unsure if what she had just seen was real or fake.

'Could it just be a hallucination from drinking too much?'

While Shen Yu stood there in a daze, Zhou Yuwen asked her again why she had woken up.

"Oh, I... I wanted to come out to use the restroom," Shen Yu replied, her face flushed, though in her heart she was still wondering if what had just happened was real or a dream.

It was real; she had seen it with her own eyes. Yet, because she was so dazed, she couldn't be entirely certain.

On second thought, it made sense if it was real. Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian were a couple, after all.

Then again, having constantly heard about several girls fighting over Zhou Yuwen, Shen Yu, who held proper three views, had always felt it was a bit surreal—until she saw that scene just now.

Shen Yu's mind remained in a wandering state.

It wasn't until Zhou Yuwen had spoken several times that she was finally pulled back from her daydreaming.

"Are you listening to me?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"Ah? What?" Shen Yu asked, as if waking from a dream.

"I said, there is a restroom in the bedroom," Zhou Yuwen repeated.

"Ah! I... I didn't know!" Shen Yu suddenly felt mortified, her face turning even redder. With things turning out like this, it made it seem as if she had intentionally barged in on Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian's intimacy.

But she truly wasn't that kind of person!

Seeing Shen Yu's flustered state, Zhou Yuwen didn't press the matter and simply asked if she still needed to use the restroom.

"Oh, right!"

Without a second thought, Shen Yu wanted to flee this living room that was causing her so much embarrassment, but just as she turned around, Zhou Yuwen called out to her again.

Zhou Yuwen cast a suspicious gaze at Shen Yu and asked, "When did you sober up?"

These words made Shen Yu's body stiffen. She bit her lower lip. To be honest, she was terrible at lying. "I... I just woke up a little while ago," she stammered.

"I see."

Zhou Yuwen nodded.

Feeling as if granted a great pardon, Shen Yu turned around and ran back into the bedroom, her face flushed bright red.

It wasn't until Shen Yu left that Tao Tian leaned into Zhou Yuwen's embrace, saying with a troublesome expression, "We're doomed now. She saw everything."

"She won't talk nonsense," Zhou Yuwen assured her.

Tao Tian asked Zhou Yuwen curiously, pointing out that there were four people in their dormitory, and Shen Yu was quite pretty and very capable as well.

"Why did you leave her out specifically?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen was somewhat speechless. He asked, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"My relationships with Yan Yan and the others..." Zhou Yuwen thought of Su Qing and continued, "...were just accidents, I suppose."

Looking at Zhou Yuwen's expression, Tao Tian didn't press the matter any further.

When Shen Yu came out after using the restroom, she was still feeling quite embarrassed. While in the restroom, the scene from the living room had been constantly replaying in her mind.

In her impression, Senior Sister Tao Tian was a very reliable senior. She was proud and admired by many. Shen Yu could never have imagined her kneeling in front of Zhou Yuwen.

That...

Shen Yu felt that she had ruined the intimacy between Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian. She didn't belong in this villa in the first place.

Therefore, after coming out of the restroom, Shen Yu said she wanted to return to the dormitory first.

Instead, she heard Zhou Yuwen say, "You should stay here."

"Su Qing went back to the dormitory; she wants some peace and quiet. You stay here and look after Yan Yan and the others. Sweetie and I are going to her place to stay overnight," Zhou Yuwen said as he grabbed a jacket.

"Ah?" Shen Yu didn't process his words immediately.

Zhou Yuwen looked at her and asked, "Is that not okay?"

"I guess it's fine..."

By this time, Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian had already reached the front door.

After the heavy door closed once more, Shen Yu was left as the sole person in the living room.

It was somewhat quiet.

This quietness once again brought the recent scene back to Shen Yu's mind.

'Was it really a hallucination caused by being drunk?'

'But it felt so real.'

For Shen Yu, who had never experienced matters between men and women, this incident would likely trouble her for a very long time.

In the early morning of May, the weather was slightly chilly.

Tao Tian drove the BMW X7, carrying Zhou Yuwen as they wandered through the streets.

In the early morning of Jinling, one could still see sedans coming and going on the road, honking their horns. Occasionally, a couple of drunks could be spotted stumbling across the zebra crossing on the road.

Zhou Yuwen gazed at the scenes before him, lost in thought.

Tao Tian asked Zhou Yuwen if he was thinking about Su Qing.

Zhou Yuwen replied that it wasn't quite like that. The car parked in an open-air parking space at Zhonghai Garden.

As they got out of the car, Zhou Yuwen asked Tao Tian, "Qu Jing shouldn't be asleep yet, right?"

Tao Tian smiled and said, "I'm really not sure about that."

"Call her over too," Zhou Yuwen instructed.

"?" Tao Tian was taken aback for a moment, but upon seeing Zhou Yuwen's rather profound gaze, she finally nodded. "Okay!"

That night, Zhou Yuwen fell asleep with his arms around both Tao Tian and Qu Jing. Perhaps only the sensation of holding a woman in each arm could make him temporarily forget the loneliness Su Qing had left him with.

Before he knew it, another week had passed. With the originally noisy and bustling Su Qing suddenly vanishing from his world, Zhou Yuwen truly felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

Many things happened during this week, yet it all felt as though it had passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yuwen's parents had left. They had only visited for three days in total. Their original intention was simply to see their son and check if his mindset had changed after suddenly becoming a multi-millionaire.

After observing him, they were relieved.

Their son was indeed capable, but his personality remained surprisingly steady and reliable.

Over those three days, Zhou Yuwen took his parents on a thorough tour around Jinling City.

Then, they took a stroll through the new office building Baidu had purchased.

According to the original trajectory of history, Baidu's foray into food delivery was destined to fail.

However, they were genuinely willing to burn money. First, they spent 60 million yuan to buy Xianlin Delivery from Zhou Yuwen, and then they planned to purchase an office building in Jinling for 320 million yuan. Although the contract hadn't been signed yet, Baidu's staff had already moved in and started the renovations.

Because Zhou Yuwen maintained a decent relationship with them, he managed to rent a three-story workspace at a low price. Taking advantage of Baidu's decoration materials, he quickly had his own office building fixed up.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Yuwen finally possessed an office of his own.

Back when he was at the school, his three classrooms combined were no more than two hundred square meters.

But now, Zhou Yuwen's single office alone was seventy square meters.

It featured a spacious reception area.

A low-key yet luxurious work area.

And a large floor-to-ceiling window behind the boss's chair.

Outside the office were rows upon rows of workstations.

The core network of food delivery connecting the entire province was concentrated in this building. Everyone had managed to upgrade significantly, transforming from a campus startup into senior white-collar workers.

Tao Tian became Zhou Yuwen's executive secretary.

Qu Jing became the second secretary.

Logically speaking, Jiang Xinyi should have been the CFO at this point, complete with her own independent office.

However, there hadn't been a trace of her all week.

She was waiting for Zhou Yuwen to coax her, but clearly, Zhou Yuwen had no intention of doing so.

Then again, with Jiang Xinyi absent.

It actually highlighted Tang Xinrou's talents.

Originally, out of consideration for his face and reputation, Zhou Yuwen had just given Tang Xinrou an expendable role in the company.

Zhou Yuwen had thought, 'This rich girl merely has a superficial layer of gold from studying abroad. What real talent could she possess?'

To his surprise, Tang Xinrou actually had some real skills.

She quickly took over Jiang Xinyi's workload.

Of course, this was also partly due to Jiang Xinyi secretly guiding her from behind the scenes.

Zhou Yuwen knew all of this, but he chose not to say anything.

Since Zhou Yuwen had moved off campus, it meant that the offices for both his cultural media company and his express delivery company also had to relocate.

And during this week, aside from not seeing Jiang Xinyi, he hadn't caught a glimpse of Su Qing either.

However, he did meet with Chen Wan a few times.

Compared to when they first met, Chen Wan had indeed become much more capable and experienced.

Zhou Yuwen signed the document she brought over and said, "So you're saying, Senior Sister Chen Wan, that you'll be handling the planning department all on your own now?"

Chen Wan remained somewhat silent about this. She didn't understand why Su Qing was doing this. Everything was going perfectly fine, yet Su Qing suddenly announced she was going abroad?

Chen Wan knew of Su Qing's feelings for Zhou Yuwen. Having spent so much time with Su Qing, Chen Wan naturally leaned towards her side. She even suggested, "If worse comes to worst, we can branch out and start our own business."

Hearing this, Su Qing was genuinely touched, but she smiled and shook her head. "There's no need, Senior Sister Chen Wan. In truth, going abroad is something I've been considering for a long time."

Su Qing told Chen Wan that nothing had happened between her and Zhou Yuwen.

She simply felt that, compared to the vast world, her knowledge and experience were still too shallow. She wanted to take this opportunity to travel and broaden her horizons.

"This will always be my home. Senior Sister Chen Wan, make sure to follow Zhou Yuwen closely. You'll learn many useful things by studying by his side," Su Qing had said with a smile.

Although Chen Wan was reluctant to see her go, she didn't say anything to stop her.

She felt that the matters between Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen were like domestic disputes.

As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle domestic disputes. Who could truly make sense of it?

She was just a third-year university student. Looking at the current situation, staying honest and faithfully following Zhou Yuwen was more important than anything else.

Chen Wan mentioned that since she would be the Student Union President next semester, handling the planning company entirely on her own might be a bit difficult.

At this point, Chen Wan hesitated, holding back her words.

"Is there something you can't say?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"Actually, Su Qing asked me to give you a recommendation... I wasn't sure if I should..." Chen Wan replied.

Chen Wan didn't know what kind of terms Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing were on right now, so she spoke very cautiously.

Zhou Yuwen asked who it was.

Chen Wan answered that it was Shen Yu.

"Su Qing said that Shen Yu is steady and reliable, very thorough, and will be able to help you," Chen Wan explained.

Zhou Yuwen nodded. "Then have Shen Yu report to you. You can guide her from now on. You'll take over Su Qing's current position, and give your old position to Shen Yu."

"Alright, I understand." Chen Wan nodded.

Zhou Yuwen asked if there was anything else.

"No, that's all."

"Mhm."

With that, Chen Wan left.

Just as Chen Wan was leaving, Zhou Guobin and Yang Lijuan, who were preparing to head back home, made their final stop at their son's new company.

It was a tall, imposing office building.

The office was bustling with activity, filled with workers running around, looking utterly overwhelmed and exhausted from their tasks.

There were also white-collar beauties wearing OL skirt suits and high heels, strutting back and forth.

Zhou Yuwen's enterprise could be considered a sunrise industry company, with the average age of the employees being around twenty-one or twenty-two.

At a rough estimate, there were about forty to fifty people on this single floor of the office building.

Hearing Tao Tian explain that these were all President Zhou's employees.

The elderly couple felt quite gratified to hear this.

Just like that, the two were led into the office, and Zhou Yuwen stood up to welcome them.
