Chapter 108 Talking about Money and Love

Shi Shi: "The past is the past, we should embrace a better tomorrow." Whether Fu Yingzhou is telling the truth or not, time will tell. Since he's willing to bring it up, I can't spoil the mood.

After saying that, she smiled playfully and opened her arms wide: "Aren't you going to give your tomorrow a hug?"

Since meeting Shi Shi, he found himself becoming increasingly easy to please. A smile played on his lips as Fu Yingzhou began to make his demands.

“You’ve written songs for so many people, could you write one for me too?” Fu Yingzhou knew that Shi Shi had never written a song for her ex-husband.

He wanted to be the one and only person in Shi Shi's heart.

Why did you suddenly think of this?

Fu Yingzhou looked at Shi Shi earnestly: "I want to be the one who is different from others in your heart."

"Sure, I won't license this song to anyone. I'll only sing it for you, okay?" She roughly knew what Fu Yingzhou was thinking, so she readily agreed.

... ...

After Wang Ruizhe got home, he took out his phone. He patted Bi Lei on the shoulder and sent her a poem with a profound theme. Just thinking about her sweet, slightly accented voice reading it made him feel better.

5 minutes

10 minutes

Thirty minutes passed, and the other party still hadn't replied. He made a voice call. By this time, Bi Lei's phone was already in airplane mode.

Wang Ruizhe's Forgotten World is achieved.

When Hang Yi got home, he felt that the name Shi Shi sounded familiar, so he searched it up.

Holy crap! Isn't this the "best ex-wife on the internet" who was all over the internet a while ago?!

When Hang Minmin heard that Hang Yi had returned, she ran over to greet him.

"Brother Yi!"

Hang Yi nodded: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Hang Minmin looked at him in surprise: "You, who only came back late at night, are asking me why I'm not asleep? It's only nine o'clock."

Hang Yi was the only son in the Hang family this generation, and one tree cannot make a forest. So, the siblings Hang Mintao and Hang Minmin from a collateral branch were taken in and raised by the family from a young age.

The phone was just sitting there, all exposed. Hang Minmin wasn't blind: "Huh? Yi-ge, you have a new target?"

Hang Yi said meaningfully, "She's my second brother's girlfriend."

Although Fu Yingzhou was the oldest among them, he was the second son in the Fu family, so everyone was used to calling him Second Brother.

Hearing this, Hang Minmin paused for a moment. Then she laughed awkwardly, "Really? Brother Yingzhou actually likes this kind of thing?"

"What kind? Talented and good-looking. Good personality. Gentle. Isn't it normal to like someone like that?"

Hang Yi knew what Minmin was thinking. Her parents favored Hang Mintao. The family fortune wouldn't be left to her. She herself had no talent, only good looks, so she entered the entertainment industry at a young age.

She liked Fu Yingzhou, but only because he and Liu Xinlang were "the best".

Liu Xinlang didn't think much of her, but Fu Yingzhou was divorced, so she felt that maybe she might have a chance?

After all, they grew up together, and Hang Yi didn't want her to be too fixated on it. That's why he revealed everything.

Hang Minmin said stubbornly, "There are at least eight thousand girls in Beijing who are talented, beautiful, and interesting."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she tugged at Hang Yi's arm, saying in a coquettish tone, "Brother Yi, I'm actually thinking of releasing a single. Shi Shi is really good at songwriting, can you help me get in touch?"

With the Hang family as her backer, the management company has been quite dedicated to Hang Minmin. If she really wanted to release a single, she could easily hire any master lyricist or composer. Hang Yi could see right through her ulterior motives.

He was about to refuse, but then he thought, rather than letting this girl hang in there in limbo, it would be better for her to see it for herself. That way, she'd give up quickly.

"Okay, Yi-ge loves you the most. I'll help you with this. But you won't let Yi-ge lose face, right?"

Hang Minmin knew that before she could secure another powerful backer, she absolutely could not offend Hang Yi. So she obediently nodded.

Hang Yi patted her head: "Go get your beauty sleep. Being a celebrity means you have to take good care of your face."

The next day

With the system in hand, Shi Shi Company made great progress.

Fu Yingzhou happened to have some free time, so he invited him to his company.

At yesterday's party, everyone got to know the boss's amazing boyfriend. Seeing them both at the company today isn't surprising.

Shi Shi asked Fu Yingzhou to wait a moment, then sat down at the computer and started typing. A short while later, the printer produced a sheet of paper.

Shishi waved the paper in her hand: "Haven't you ever seen a song recording before?"

Fu Yingzhou shook his head.

"Let's go, I'll show you!"

Shi Shi took out a song called "Let Him Land," the ending theme song of the TV series "The Story of a Noble Family" before the time travel arc.

When she was watching the drama, she only thought "Dark Fragrance" was a nice song. It wasn't until many years later, when she heard Shan Yichun's cover version, that she felt that this version had a more beautiful expression of love than the original.

The moment she grasped the microphone, Fu Yingzhou realized something. He felt an overwhelming surge of happiness. He silenced his phone; he wanted to listen to music properly!

"He is not as dazzling as fireworks."

They don't migrate like birds.

It's just a kite that's been released into the air.

I'm only free because I'm afraid of hurting your heart.

The clues to your memories are in your hands.

This song was originally a expression of deep affection and attachment to a beloved, while also depicting the struggle and choice between freedom and dependence. The same lyrics, sung by Shi Shi, evoked a completely different feeling. Her rendition conveyed a sense of hope that the other person could find a home, a safe haven for their loved one, a feeling of no longer adrift.

"If you can get him to land"

The sky is like endless freedom.

One can only imagine how lonely that heart is in the wind.

Let him stay in your arms.

I'd rather be a boat if you were the sea.

Let him land in your arms.

This song was also a reassurance for Fu Yingzhou. He didn't need to overthink it. Unless it was a matter of principle, she would never abandon him.

She's such a good-looking person, after all.

After listening to the song, Fu Yingzhou fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

Shishi walked gently to her side and took her arm: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

At this moment, Fu Yingzhou's eyes seemed to hold the entire galaxy, shining brightly.

"No, I'm just too happy."

He kept stroking those jade-like hands that fascinated him.

"I should really thank my ex-husband, otherwise how could such a good girl have fallen into my hands?"

Shi Shi looked at him unhappily: "It was my choice to choose you, why are you thanking him? It's such a downer."

She pouted, still dissatisfied.

Fu Yingzhou realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly begged for forgiveness: "It was my fault. Please punish me."

"Then tell me, how should I punish you?"

Without hesitation, Fu Yingzhou took out his card from his pocket: "Spend it all."

Shi Shi was somewhat surprised to see that it was a debit card, not a credit card.

Understanding her gaze, Fu Yingzhou explained, "It's not appropriate for a public official to do that."

How much money can be in a debit card?

Fu Yingzhou finally found an opportunity to show off in front of Shi Shi: "Oh, it's only slightly more than the maximum credit limit on a credit card."

Shi Shi: I'm just too naive!
