Your World Is Not Only Chen Zhi

That unexpected turn of events last night was purely inevitable.

Chen Zhi made up ten thousand excuses in his head, but his actions were anything but hesitant.

After overcoming the initial nervousness and clumsiness, the CEO of Deep Space Tech, who held tens of billions of dollars in funding, finally regained his absolute dominance on another battlefield.

Considering it was Lin Wanwan's first time as well, Chen Zhi held back from being too rough.

The two took a quick shower in the bathroom, changed into clean bathrobes, and fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

...

Early the next morning.

The heavy blackout curtains in the suite were not fully closed, letting in a ray of golden sunlight that hit right on the large double bed.

Chen Zhi groggily felt a slight itch on the tip of his nose.

It felt like a feather was brushing back and forth against it.

He frowned, reached out to grab it, but caught a handful of soft, silky hair instead.

Chen Zhi opened his eyes.

Lin Wanwan was lying on his chest, holding a small lock of her hair, looking at him with a beaming smile.

The girl had just woken up, her makeup-free cheeks flushed with a pink glow. Last night's intimacy left her looking absolutely radiant; the faint traces of youthful innocence in her features had faded, replaced by an indescribable, alluring charm.

Chen Zhi felt that the most beautiful thing in life was nothing more than waking up to find the girl he loved lying in his arms.

"You're awake~" Lin Wanwan's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a slight, sleepy nasal tone.

Chen Zhi didn't speak. He simply reached out, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and pulled her tightly against his chest.

As their skin touched, he could clearly feel the girl's delicate, smooth skin and its incredible elasticity.

"Why are you up so early?" Chen Zhi rested his chin on the top of her head, taking a deep breath of the fragrance in her hair. "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Having crossed the threshold into the most intimate of relationships, the paper-thin barrier between them was completely torn away. Their romance was in its sweetest honeymoon phase, and even their tone of voice naturally carried a hint of clingy affection.

Lin Wanwan snuggled her entire body into Chen Zhi's embrace.

"I couldn't sleep." She rubbed against his chest.

Chen Zhi's hand began to wander down her back, starting to misbehave.

"Since you can't sleep, it seems last night's workout wasn't enough." Chen Zhi rolled over and shamelessly suggested, "How about we make up for it this morning?"

Lin Wanwan was startled by his sudden movement.

She didn't yield to Chen Zhi as she usually would.

Blushing, she reached out and pushed hard against his chest.

"Stop it, no."

Chen Zhi let himself fall back onto the pillow, feigning a hurt expression.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi sighed. "You just got my body, and now you're already tired of your husband?"

Lin Wanwan laughed out of sheer exasperation at his complete distortion of the facts.

She reached out with two fingers and gave the soft flesh at his waist a hard pinch.

"Save it!" Lin Wanwan glared at him. "Sister Su Man is waiting downstairs. I only took time off until this morning. I have to go to my promotional events this afternoon."

Chen Zhi rubbed his waist, looking even more wronged.

Seeing him like this, Lin Wanwan took the initiative to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Mwah~"

"Be a good husband. We have a whole lifetime ahead of us, so let's not rush things right now, okay?" Lin Wanwan patted his cheek as if coaxing a child.

Chen Zhi sighed reluctantly, barely accepting her reasoning.

"Then you can't forget your husband just because of work," Chen Zhi pushed his luck.

Lin Wanwan felt a bit irritated.

This guy was the one always busy with that AI stuff, disappearing for weeks on end and neglecting her for his work. How did it end up sounding like she was the one doing him wrong?

But looking at Chen Zhi's face, she couldn't bring herself to get angry.

"Alright, alright, my good husband." Lin Wanwan leaned in and kissed him again. "I'll make it up to you later, okay? Now get up and wash up!"

The two messed around in the bathroom for a while before finally getting dressed.

Lin Wanwan was fixing her hair in the mirror when she turned around and saw Chen Zhi standing by the bed, holding a neatly folded white towel.

It was the towel Chen Zhi had deliberately placed on the bedsheets last night.

Right in the center of the towel was a dark red stain.

Chen Zhi unzipped his backpack, carefully placed the towel into the innermost compartment, and zipped it back up.

Lin Wanwan's face instantly turned beet red.

She rushed over, trying to snatch Chen Zhi's bag.

"Chen Zhi! What are you doing! You're so annoying!" Lin Wanwan stomped her feet in sheer embarrassment. "Throw it away right now!"

Taking advantage of his height, Chen Zhi held the bag high above his head, keeping it completely out of reach no matter how high Lin Wanwan jumped.

"Why would I throw it away?" Chen Zhi said with a straight face. "This is the proof of our love. I have to take it back and treasure it. When we're old, we can bring it out and reminisce about our youth."

"Who wants to reminisce about this! You pervert!"

Flustered and exasperated, Lin Wanwan pounded his arm a couple of times. Finally realizing she couldn't grab it, she covered her face and ran out of the suite.

...

Downstairs at the hotel.

Su Man's black Mercedes sprinter van was parked early in a secluded corner.

Seeing the two walk out of the lobby one after the other, Su Man rolled down the window and swept her gaze over Lin Wanwan.

As a top-tier agent who had navigated the entertainment industry for years, Su Man's eyes were sharper than an X-ray.

Although Lin Wanwan was wearing a mask and a hat, her walking posture and the unconcealable romantic glow in her exposed eyes gave her away instantly. Su Man saw right through her.

She didn't say a word, simply rolling the window back up in silence.

Chen Zhi opened the car door, shielded Lin Wanwan as she got in, and then climbed in after her.

Along the way, the atmosphere inside the van was somewhat subtle and delicate.

The car drove all the way to the West Gate of Peking University.

"I have a meeting this afternoon, so I can't keep you company." Chen Zhi ruffled Lin Wanwan's hair. "Text me when you're done."

"Mhm." Lin Wanwan nodded obediently.

Chen Zhi got out of the car, standing by the road and waving at them inside.

Lin Wanwan leaned against the window, gazing longingly as Chen Zhi's silhouette disappeared into the campus gates. It wasn't until the van started moving again that she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

She instantly lost all her energy, leaning back against the seat with a sense of emptiness.

Su Man sat in the passenger seat, watching the distracted girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The van remained quiet for a long time.

"Wanwan," Su Man suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Ah? Sister Su Man, what is it?" Lin Wanwan quickly sat up straight.

Su Man turned her head and looked at her, her tone very calm. "You two did it last night, didn't you."

Lin Wanwan's face flushed bright red in an instant. She lowered her head, stammering for a long time without being able to squeeze out a single word.

Seeing her tacit admission, Su Man sighed.

She had guessed as much. Last night, when Lin Wanwan stubbornly insisted on staying in the penthouse suite using the lame excuse of being afraid of the dark, she knew exactly what this girl was scheming.

"Did you two use protection?" Su Man cut straight to the chase.

"Huh?" Lin Wanwan froze, failing to process the question for a moment.

"I mean safety measures," Su Man explained patiently.

Lin Wanwan's face grew even redder, her voice as quiet as a mosquito. "I-I don't think we did..."

The atmosphere had been so perfect last night, and it was the first time for both of them. How could they have possibly thought about such details?

Su Man felt her temples throbbing violently.

"You didn't use protection? What if you get pregnant?" Su Man's tone turned severe. "Wanwan, you're not even twenty yet! You just won the championship on The Singer. This is the most critical upward phase of your career. Do you have any idea how many eyes are on you right now?"

Lin Wanwan bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"You are the rising star of the Chinese music industry. If a scandal about you getting pregnant out of wedlock breaks out at a crucial moment like this, your career will be completely ruined!"

Faced with Su Man's continuous bombardment, Lin Wanwan didn't back down. Instead, she raised her head and met Su Man's gaze.

"If I'm pregnant, I'll just have the baby," Lin Wanwan answered with absolute conviction.

Su Man was utterly dumbfounded.

She looked at the hopeless girl in front of her and let out another deep sigh.

"You're completely blinded by love," Su Man said, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"I am not blinded by love!" Lin Wanwan retorted indignantly, her voice rising a few pitches. "This is love! I love him. What's wrong with having his child?"

Su Man felt like her career was facing its greatest challenge yet.

"Fine, you say it's love. But have you ever thought about whether Chen Zhi wants a child?" Su Man stared directly into Lin Wanwan's eyes. "He is the CEO of Deep Space Technology now, holding tens of billions of dollars in capital. He works around the clock every day. What if he doesn't want this baby?"

Lin Wanwan froze for a moment.

"What if you have to go to the hospital for an abortion and get photographed by the paparazzi? Could your body even take it? Are you just going to give up on the music dream you've worked so hard for?" Su Man pressed on relentlessly.

"Chen Zhi... Chen Zhi wouldn't do that," Lin Wanwan said, her confidence waning a bit, though she still stubbornly defended him.

"But what if?" Su Man refused to let it go. "I'm saying what if he really tells you to get rid of it?"

The interior of the car fell into silence.

Lin Wanwan kept her head down, saying nothing.

After a long time, she finally looked up. Her eyes were a little red, but her tone was surprisingly calm.

"Then... then I'll listen to him," Lin Wanwan said slowly, biting her lip.

Su Man completely lost all will to argue.

She looked at the stubborn girl in front of her and suddenly felt a wave of powerlessness. She had managed many artists—some who would do whatever it took to get famous, others who would sell out their morals for money. But this was the first time she had ever seen someone like Lin Wanwan, someone who would completely throw herself away for a man.

"You silly girl," Su Man murmured. "Your world doesn't just revolve around Chen Zhi."

But Lin Wanwan shook her head.

She turned to look out the window at the speeding street scenery. Her mind was filled with every little detail of her life growing up alongside Chen Zhi.

"Sister Su Man, you don't understand," Lin Wanwan said softly. "My world is already entirely Chen Zhi."
