The Clingy Contract: My CEO Husband Won't Stop Spoiling Me

”It’s okay!”

Liangliang sat on the bed, listening to the rain, ”How’s it going over there? Are the reporters still chasing you?”

”Not anymore, I’ve already gone home, but the reporters will definitely keep watch!”

”Oh...”

For a moment, Liangliang didn’t know what to say.

”Liangliang.”

His deep voice suddenly came through.

”I’m here.”

”Would you like to be my girlfriend?”

Liangliang took a sharp breath.

She should have immediately said yes, yes, yes, but when she really heard Song Mu say those words, she hesitated.

The more she saw his infatuation, the more she hesitated.

After a while, she finally spoke, ”I think, for now, maybe not...”

”You don’t like me?”

”No, I like you, but the person you like isn’t me. If you want to be with me, you need to like me too, forget about her, at least don’t let her be so important in your life. That’s the only way I can accept it.”

She smiled and said, ”I don’t want to be someone’s substitute.”

”You’re not a substitute, I can tell the difference — you’re you, she’s her.”

”In that case, it’s even worse, since you’re in love with her!” Liangliang was more certain than he was.

”What if we just pretend? I’ve already made a statement, consider it crisis management. At least until this storm blows over, then I’ll say we’ve broken up, how about it?”

Pretend to be his girlfriend?

”Okay, alright then, so do I not need to do anything?”

”At the very least, respond.”

”Oh...”

How should she respond?

After Song Mu hung up, she opened it up.

She fell back on the bed, staring at his words, unsure of what to say.

——

Tonight, Su Zui unusually didn’t drink; he wanted to be sober, to think clearly.

He sat on the sofa, with Yi Yi beside him, nuzzling its head under his hand.

He petted Yi Yi’s back, his eyes vacant, as if the movement of his right hand was the only sign he hadn’t slipped into meditation.

Yuan Sha hurriedly walked in.

”Sir, Miss Liang just replied to Song Mu.”

Su Zui finally reacted, lowering his head to look.

”How about next time I seduce you?”

She even added a cute smiley face.

Liangliang got what she wanted, she’s with Song Mu now.

He’s the unnecessary one.

Suddenly, he felt envious of Tao Juran, at least she didn’t know the man she liked was with someone else, sparing her the heartbreak.

”Meow...”

Yi Yi seemed to sense his pain and nuzzled up.

Su Zui picked it up, put it on the floor, ”Yi Yi, go accompany your daughter to sleep...”

Yi Yi followed closely behind him.

Su Zui took big strides, returned to his room, and shut the door, locking it outside.

Yi Yi scratched the door outside.

The pure white Little Susu waddled over, tilting its head as if to say what mommy was doing, is she angry?

Such a strange way to vent.

Su Zui didn’t open the door, and Yi Yi gave up too.

It turned and left with Susu.

——

The next day, early in the morning, Liangliang received a message from Song Mu, telling her not to go to the filming set alone.

Or to go with him.

Of course, she chose not to go.

She had experienced firsthand the power of reporters.

They dared to ask anything, she’d never answered such questions, didn’t know what to say.

She stayed at home, receiving a call from her mom.

”We saw the news, there are lots of reporters outside our house! They want to interview you! Your grandpa is very unhappy, he can’t go out to watch the old men play chess in the street!”

”Mom, play chess with grandpa! Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’ll resolve it soon!”

”Are you really with Song Mu?”
