Gu Yu found it strange. Hadn't he already confessed his feelings? Why was he acting as if he didn't know? "Aren't we already together?"

"Together?..."

007 immediately sensed something was wrong and used his savings to cast a sleeping spell on him.

So, before Shi Qi could finish speaking, he collapsed onto Gu Yu without warning.

When he woke up again, it was the next morning, and Shi Qi was in Gu Yu's bedroom. He patted his groggy head; he knew very well that he had dreamed, but he couldn't remember anything.

Just as he was about to ask 007 what happened last night, Gu Yu walked over carrying a bowl of steaming food.

"What is this?" Shi Qi asked, taking the bowl of dark brown, unidentified liquid. "Hangover soup. I've tried it; the temperature is just right."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi silently finished the bowl of soup, which didn't taste very good.

Gu Yu gently stroked his soft hair: "Want to sleep a little longer? It's still early." Shi Qi shook his head and tentatively asked, "Did I do anything strange last night?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes were playful: "Does dancing with me count?" Gu Yu didn't mention his strange behavior yesterday. He inexplicably felt that those were things Shi Qi shouldn't know.

Even though he only knew this one thing, Shi Qi still frowned: "Next time something like this happens, just knock me out."

"I can't bear to part with it. Don't worry, no one will see. I'll go get you some clothes."

Shi Dian nodded, and then saw Gu Yu walking towards the dressing room. "You moved my things here?"

Gu Yu stopped and turned around, saying, "Yes, I had someone move it yesterday afternoon." He looked like he wanted praise.

Shi Qi paused for a moment, then said, "Pretty efficient..." Gu Yu, satisfied, went to the dressing room. A moment later, he returned with the clothes.

Shi Qi threw her phone in front of him: "Didn't you say no one saw it?"

Gu Yu glanced at the picture on his phone. He already knew about this, but he didn't think it was a big deal: "Don't worry, this won't have much of an impact."

Yes, he is no longer the celebrity who always had to consider others in everything he did.

But who could have leaked such trivial information at that banquet?

After thinking it over, I realized there was only one possibility: "Could it be Wen Xiaonan?"

Gu Yu nodded in agreement: "I guess only she would think this poses a threat to us." Perhaps due to their different worldviews, this world's tolerance for homosexuality is even lower than in his original world.

Most of the online comments were malicious, calling it disgusting.

These comments won't have a huge impact, but they won't be insignificant either. At most, the stock will dip, but it will rebound afterward. Although it's not a big deal to ignore them, how can that please Wen Xiaonan?

"Let's get someone to write a report..."

Four o'clock in the afternoon, in the president's office of Mingcheng.

Shi Qi and Gu Yu sat side by side on a sofa, facing a reporter who had come to interview them: "Excuse me, are the statements trending on social media today true?"

Gu Yu nodded: "The two people in the photo are indeed us. Mr. Shi, who is with me, and I are currently in a romantic relationship." It was agreed beforehand that today's speaker would primarily be Gu Yu.

"So, what are your thoughts on the level of tolerance towards homosexuality in society today?"

Gu Yu: "I wouldn't call it an opinion, but I at least know that there is freedom of love. There is no law in the country that prohibits homosexuals. There are many homosexuals, and every one of them deserves respect. Besides, this is our own business and has nothing to do with others."

Shi Dian nodded in agreement: "We can't control other people's tolerance, but love knows no gender or national boundaries."

The female lead's halo caused the matter to spread rapidly and was met with resistance from others, but the male lead's halo was equally effective.

The interview received a lot of positive responses as soon as it aired the next day.

[No wonder he's a CEO who graduated from a prestigious university; his values ​​are truly upright.]

That's right, the LGBTQ+ community is innocent and should not be attacked by public opinion.

Well said! Love knows no gender or borders!

Besides these rational comments, there were also many comments from seasoned aesthetics enthusiasts.

[Is that President Shi next to President Gu? She's absolutely stunning!]

I originally thought Gu Yu's looks were unmatched, but it turns out there's someone else with them.

[I don't have any other thoughts, these two are a perfect match just by looking at them]

Of course, there are still a few dissenting opinions, but they can no longer stir up any waves. They have won this battle of public opinion.

Wen Family Ancestral Home

Wen Xiaonan gripped her phone tightly, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

She was too naive. This incident not only did not have any negative impact, but it also greatly boosted their public goodwill.

She was unwilling to accept that Gu Yu had abandoned her because of Shi Qi; how could a man possibly compare to a woman?!

Her eyes were filled with a kind of madness; Gu Yu had to be hers, and if she couldn't have him...

----

Shi Qi called his secretary to his office and had just issued the order to investigate Wen Tianqiu's company when he heard the notification sound of "Fate Value -5", which was something he hadn't heard in a long time.

Since Wen Xiaonan brought this up first, he didn't intend to be polite. A company like Wen's must have a lot of shady dealings behind the scenes; if he wanted to investigate, he wouldn't be afraid of not finding out.

Although Commander Wen is well-known, the Wen family's economic resources mostly depend on Wen Tianqiu. As long as something happens to him, the Wen family will not have an easy time.

In the evening, because Gu Yu had something to do, Shi Qi went home by himself.

It was almost time for dinner, and Gu Yu still hadn't returned, so she called him: "Honey, don't wait for me tonight. I don't know when my work here will be finished. Go to sleep early."

"Do you have social engagements?"

"No, it's just a little thing at the company. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"I'm not worried, you go ahead with your work." With that, she hung up the phone.

Gu Yu smiled as he heard the busy tone and put his phone aside. The fatigue accumulated from a day's work seemed to vanish instantly.

It was past eleven o'clock when I got home. The air conditioning in the living room was on full blast, and it was even a bit chilly.

The television was still on, casting a jarring light in the dark room. What happened? Did the aunt forget to turn it off when she left?

Just as he was about to turn off the TV, he saw Shi Qi curled up on the sofa, outlined by the TV's light. Why was he sleeping here? Was he waiting for him? Thinking this, Gu Yu's heart warmed. He tiptoed to the sofa and picked Shi Qi up.

I woke up as soon as I got up. Was I a light sleeper?

His voice was a little hoarse, whether from just waking up or from the air conditioning, it was hard to tell. "You're back?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Why did you fall asleep on the sofa? You didn't even cover yourself with a blanket with the air conditioning on. Are you cold?" "I'm fine..." she said lazily. "Put me down first."

Gu Yu: "I'll carry you back to the bedroom."

Since they were going back to the bedroom anyway, Shi Qi didn't act coy. She wrapped her arms around Gu Yu's neck and was carried upstairs by him.

Gu Yu placed Shi Qi on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and was about to take a shower when Shi Qi tugged at her sleeve. Her voice was somewhat groggy as she said, "The food's in the fridge. If you're hungry, just heat it up and have a meal." It seemed she was using her last shred of consciousness as she spoke. She fell silent as soon as she finished speaking, her breathing gradually becoming even.

Gu Yu smiled and bent down to kiss him.

The next afternoon

Shi Qi knew that it was only a matter of time before he found out something, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The secretary explained, "The original plan was for three days, but during our investigation, it seemed as if a force was secretly pushing things along, bringing a lot of evidence to our attention."

"Dog, does Wen Tianqiu have some mortal enemy?"

007 thought for a moment: "I have quite a few enemies, but I don't really have any irreconcilable ones."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi fell into deep thought.

Although the person behind the scenes helped him, what was that person's purpose? If they had ulterior motives, it could lead to trouble later. Not many people dare to offend the Wen family; who could it be...?

Suddenly, Shi Qi chuckled softly. He was probably the only one who could do that…

At dinner, the two sat side by side. Gu Yu would occasionally put some of Shi Qi's favorite dishes and some he didn't like on his plate.

Shi Qi completely ignored him, eating all the food she liked and leaving aside all the food she didn't like, acting as if she could eat whatever she wanted and it was none of his business.
