I had just woken up and was sitting in bed, with my mom right beside me.

She was practically glowing as she read through the online comments one by one.

"So, the guy driving last time was Fu Ran? And you didn't say a word! My son really takes after me—great taste.

"And this commenter is right, not just anyone is good enough for my son!

"But... what's up with this Fu Ran? He's playing with your feelings while messing around with his white moonlight. Does he think we'll just let him off because we're nice?"

I rubbed my aching forehead.

I was about to call my secretary to find out what was going on when my mom suddenly jumped up with a squeal, grabbing my arm and shaking it vigorously.

"Look! Didn't I say no one could resist my son?"

She shoved her phone in my face, showing a message posted by Fu Ran's verified account.

【It's true that Jiu An and I aren't in a relationship. The rose petals weren't a love confession—they were just his way of "repaying" me because he was annoyed by my pursuit.】

【As for Miss Shen, she is indeed supposed to marry into the Fu family, but that's with my cousin, not with me.】

The indifferent tone and the completely different way of addressing us clearly showed a distinction between the two attitudes.

Immediately, a flood of comments from observant netizens appeared, shipping us like crazy.

There were also a few skeptical voices.

【So President Fu and President Luo are together, yet Shen Rou still went out of her way to set up rose petals? Was she trying to cause trouble?】

【What's wrong with setting up rose petals? Just because your President Luo used rose petals to hit someone, doesn't mean our Miss Shen can't use them!】

【Sure, she can use them, but doing it while those two are confessing to each other? That's just being petty!】

【Exactly, and clearly, she's supposed to marry President Fu's cousin, yet she didn't clarify the names—wasn't that just to mislead people?】

【What a green tea act. I can smell the tea from 800 meters away.】

My mom's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Netizens really do have sharp eyes!"

As a result of this whole incident, Shen Rou's image took a hit, and the marriage between her and Fu Ran's cousin was unanimously rejected by the Fu family.

The Shen family wasn't exactly powerful to begin with, so with the failed engagement, they ended up with nothing but a mess on their hands.

After finally escaping my mom's barrage of questions, I walked into my office only to be nearly blinded by a room full of red roses.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, gritting my teeth as I looked at Fu Ran. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

He, however, calmly pulled me over and pushed me down into a chair.

"Confessing, of course. Didn't you already hint at it?"

I was completely baffled.

"Who hinted at that?"

He got down on one knee, pulling a gift box out of his pocket. When he opened it, inside was an exquisite, custom-made watch.

"If I'm not your first choice, then I'd rather stick to a purely physical relationship."

I was taken aback for a moment.

Those were the exact words I had said to Lin Zi Yu in my office last time.

He lifted my wrist, fastening the watch around it.

Looking up at me, his eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.

"Now, you're my first choice."

The watch on my wrist wasn't heavy, but I felt a sudden sense of being trapped, a wave of panic rising within me.

"President Fu, your joke isn't very funny."

I tried to pull my hand away, but he held on tightly.

"Jiu An, can't you see I'm pursuing you?"

The scent of liquor in the room was so strong, it made me feel as if I was about to get drunk.

My heart was pounding like a drum, but I tried not to show it on my face, wanting to maintain some composure. However, the overwhelming scent of strawberries in the room was impossible to hide.

My face flushed bright red, and in a burst of frustration, I kicked Fu Ran.

"So annoying!"

He grabbed my ankle with his hand, his touch so warm it made me uneasy.

He tilted his head up and kissed me directly on the lips. As our breaths mingled, his hand slowly climbed from my ankle, like a vine, up my leg.

When his hand reached my knee, stopped by the fabric of my trousers, he released me, his eyes rimmed with red, his voice hoarse and rough.

"An An, I want to hold you."

That day, the top trending headline was a comment.

【Shocking! The workaholic President Fu just carried our President Luo away in broad daylight!】

Meanwhile, I was in the middle of frantically pounding on Fu Ran's shoulder, my voice trembling.

"Get out!"

When I yelled at him, my voice trembled uncontrollably, and there was even a hint of tears in it.

He held onto my ankle, refusing to let go.

Sweat dripped from him onto my waist, sliding down and soaking into the sheets.

"You bastard! Didn't you say you knew how to do it?"

For the first time, the usually composed Fu Ran seemed a bit panicked, his tone confused. "I watched a tutorial on how to do a full mark..."

As he spoke, he moved forcefully again.

My body went limp, and he flipped me over effortlessly.

"Fu Ran, we're breaking up! Let's break up right now!"

He didn't respond, but when I turned to look at him, his eyes were already red.

"Damn it!"

With a forceful motion, he bit down on the gland at the back of my neck.

For the first time, the scent of strong liquor and strawberries merged completely.
