Psst! We're moving!
Tang Yu, a man who wants to uncover my secrets.
I’m waiting for you.
— From Little Tangxin’s Diary
Tang Xin hooked her arms around his neck, staring at the man’s jawline and prominent Adam’s apple. As he placed her on the bed, she suddenly tilted her head up and kissed his Adam’s apple. Her hands slid toward his waistband, her soft fingers gently tracing over it.
Tang Yu hadn’t expected her to be so bold. His body stiffened, and instinctively, he grabbed her hand and pinned it above her head, their fingers intertwined. His dark, deep eyes were filled with swirling emotions as he gazed at her flushed face and bright eyes. With restraint, he asked, “What are you trying to do?”
“I… I want to help test something?”
Her voice was soft, tinged with curiosity and a hint of adventurousness.
“…”
Tang Yu recalled the word “all” she had used earlier. He couldn’t deny that her kissing skills… were terrible, but he wasn’t sure whether she had any experience. Was this just an innocent attempt to test if he was decent, or did she genuinely want to take things further?
He stared at her for a moment, realizing that her curiosity outweighed everything else. Feeling both amused and exasperated, he closed his eyes and leaned down to kiss her. Their lips and tongues became entangled in an intimate dance. He kissed her lips, chin, and ears repeatedly before capturing her lips again with force.
The bedside lamp cast a warm orange glow, enveloping them softly. Tang Xin could even hear the sound of their kisses—intimate and sensual in the quiet night. By the end, they both lost some control. She tensed her legs in embarrassment, and after a while, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily. Tang Xin hugged him tightly, her face red, also gasping for breath. Unsure whether to continue or stop, she heard him chuckle softly.
She felt a bit awkward and whispered, “Why are you laughing…?”
Buried in the crook of her neck, he suddenly took her hand and guided it downward without immediately letting go, allowing her to feel him fully.
Tang Xin: “…!!!”
“Not broken, are you reassured now?” he murmured hoarsely by her ear. She froze for a second, then her whole face lit up with delight. The next moment, he added in a low tone, “But if you try something like this again next time, I can’t guarantee anything.”
“…”
She let out a soft “oh,” biting her lip and holding her breath. Her eyes sparkled like stars embedded in the night sky, fixed on the ceiling, with a proud and excited curve tugging at the corners of her lips.
Tang Yu closed his eyes briefly, releasing her hand. He felt as though he were tying himself into knots. Taking a deep breath, he reached out and turned off the lamp with a snap. Sitting upright, he smoothed her hair, then relaxed against the edge of the bed, propping one leg up with his arm resting on his knee as he tried to calm himself.
Tang Xin lay there, staring blankly at the pitch-black ceiling. Slowly, she turned to face him, only able to make out a vague silhouette in the darkness.
In the dimness, her voice was soft and sweet: “Tang Yu, do you like me?”
“… Isn’t that obvious?” he replied, slightly irritated. “If I didn’t like you, would I be doing this?”
“Do we…?”
“…”
Leaning back against the bedside table, Tang Yu tilted his head slowly, much like the last time when she’d been drunk and wanted to tell him a secret, only for nothing to come of it. The room’s curtains were drawn, filtering faint light through the thin fabric. Though there was no moonlight outside, once their eyes adjusted to the dark, they could still vaguely see each other’s features. Her eyes shone brightly in the gloom, fearless yet with a hint of cautiousness.
Despite the intimate atmosphere, he felt an inexplicable pang of tenderness. He couldn’t pinpoint where it came from.
Intimacy should naturally follow deep affection—it should happen when the time is right. But there were still unresolved issues between them, especially regarding her parents, who harbored significant prejudice against him. He couldn’t bring himself to rush things just days after winning her over. Doing so would not only upset her family but also earn his own disdain.
Though she had asked, he didn’t think she could give herself to him completely without hesitation. They weren’t ready for such intimacy yet. Moreover, Tang Yu had always set specific standards and frameworks for the type of person he liked. This kind of act surely deserved its own ritual.
From any angle, now simply wasn’t the right moment.
At the very least, they needed to reach a point where their hearts were truly aligned.
After waiting nervously for several seconds, Tang Yu pinched her cheek gently and coaxed her softly: “Go to sleep. Don’t say silly things.”
“…”
She hadn’t been joking; she was serious.
After a brief silence, she pulled the blanket over her face.
Worried that she might overthink, Tang Yu sighed and leaned forward, pulling the blanket back. He kissed her lightly on the lips, then casually teased himself: “Though I’m not broken, I’ve been hurt pretty badly. Afraid I won’t perform well. Let’s take a break first, alright?”
Even saying such words left him incredulous. If others found out, they’d probably laugh until their teeth fell out.
Tang Xin: “….”
She blinked, suddenly wanting to laugh.
“No laughing,” he threatened.
“… Okay.” Then she covered herself with the blanket and giggled quietly inside.
Tang Yu frowned, reaching under the blanket to ruffle her hair. In a cold tone, he asked, “Are you going to sleep or not?”
Tang Xin was in a good mood now. Her earlier frustrations were almost entirely gone. She revealed her pale little face, smiling sweetly and looking incredibly obedient. “Sleep…”
By the time they finished fooling around, it was nearly 1 a.m.
True to her word, Tang Xin fell asleep almost instantly, leaving even Tang Yu amazed at how quickly she drifted off.
Within minutes, his girlfriend was fast asleep, her breathing soft and steady, filling the room with her warm presence.
The man sat by the bed watching her for a while, then leaned down to kiss her forehead. Rising, he drew the curtains tightly shut, closed the door, and left.
…
The next morning, Tang Xin woke up and immediately prepared to feed Huarou. It wasn’t until she reached the doorway that she remembered Huarou had been taken away by Tang Dingding. Then she recalled that although Huarou wasn’t home, there was a new kitten.
She walked into the living room and saw the tiny kitten, its golden tail hanging low as it buried its face in the food bowl.
For a moment, her mind went blank. She quickly looked around and spotted a packed sandwich on the dining table—
Ah, Tang Yu had been here.
Her heart stirred slightly as she approached and touched it—the sandwich was still warm.
Just then, a WeChat message popped up on her phone.
Tang Yu: “I’ve fed the cat. Breakfast is on the table. Give it a name.”
A name, huh?
Honestly, Tang Xin was terrible at naming things.
She spent a long time thinking about it during work breaks but couldn’t come up with anything suitable. Just before leaving work, inspiration struck: “How about calling it Tangtang?”
When Tang Yu saw the message, it was already 6 p.m. He had just finished a meeting. Originally, he should have been in Hong Kong by now, but he rescheduled and returned early to please his girlfriend. He still planned to visit Hong Kong in the next couple of days. After giving instructions to Gao Heng—”Move tomorrow’s dinner appointment later. I’ll head to Hong Kong first”—he dismissed him.
Gao Heng adjusted his glasses: “Alright.”
As Gao Heng was about to leave, Tang Yu called him back, loosening his tie and leaning casually in his chair. Casually, he asked, “What did Lu Chuning’s side say last time?”
Last time?
He referred to the incident months ago when the two had been photographed together and made headlines. Unlike Huo Zong, whose scandals were usually true 98% of the time, Tang Zong’s appearances in gossip news were often fabricated. Naturally, female celebrities who relied on these fake scandals tended to clarify themselves afterward to avoid backlash.
That particular photo shoot? It had been genuine paparazzi footage released publicly.
Gao Heng personally contacted the other party’s manager, which led to Lu Chuning issuing a clarifying tweet.
“Oh, they said they’ll be more careful moving forward.”
Tang Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, silent for a few seconds. Ultimately, he said nothing. Picking up his phone, he saw Tang Xin’s messages—
Little Rich Girl: “How about calling it Tangtang?”
Probably growing impatient from not receiving a response, she followed up: “Doesn’t it sound nice?”
Little Rich Girl: “Then you think of one?”
Little Rich Girl: “I ordered dinner for you. It should arrive soon. Secretary Chen will pick it up.”
…
Tonight, working overtime.
Gao Heng spoke up: “President Tang, shall I order your meal? What would you like tonight?”
Tang Yu’s expression remained cool as his fingers flew across the keyboard typing, “No need. Tang Xin has already ordered for me.”
The moment his voice trailed off, there was a knock on the office door.
Secretary Chen walked in holding two exquisite three-tiered lunch boxes and a bowl of soup, smiling as he said, “President Tang, Miss Tang ordered dinner for you to have while working late.”
“Put it over there.”
After replying to the message, Tang Yu pulled out his chair and walked over.
With the office door slightly ajar, Tang Dingding happily walked in. Seeing the large portion sizes of the two meals, she grinned and said, “Brother, you can’t possibly eat all that by yourself, right?”
Tang Yu sat down on the sofa, glancing at her indifferently. “It’s what Tang Xin ordered.”
Tang Dingding let out an impressed “Wow.” “So, does this mean you’ve reconciled?” She had originally come to hitch a ride but suddenly felt hungry when the aroma of the food hit her. Looking longingly at the meal, she suggested, “Or how about I don’t go home? I’ll share your late-night dinner with you. You won’t finish all this anyway.”
Just then, Huo Chendong arrived. Hearing her suggestion, he casually chimed in, “Is there a portion for me too?”
Tang Yu had just opened the box and glanced at the dishes when his expression suddenly turned somewhat peculiar.
Huo Chendong approached and took a casual look, his expression even more perplexed than Tang Yu’s. He stared at him incredulously: “You can’t be serious, brother. You’ve only just started dating your girlfriend, and you’re already this exhausted? Do you really need to eat so many kidney-nourishing foods?”
Tang Dingding: “...”
She gasped, turning her head to stare blankly at her brother.
Gao Heng discreetly averted his face, glancing at President Tang’s expression—it was pitch-black.
Tang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, his dark gaze fixed on the dishes. There were things like lamb kidneys, pigeon soup, and some items he didn’t even recognize. He wondered how that girl managed to order these for him and which restaurant specialized in such dishes.
Meanwhile, Tang Xin had just received her late-night meal. As she sat down to start eating, her phone buzzed on the table.
Tang Yu: “Forget ‘Tangtang.’ Leave that name for my daughter to use.”
Tang Yu: “Think of another one.”
Tang Yu: “What did you order for me?”
Tang Xin’s mouth dropped open as she stared at the first message.
His daughter...
How did he know he’d have a daughter? And with... with whom would he have one? Moreover, hadn’t he said he needed to rest? The next second, her phone buzzed repeatedly, and several photos popped up—
Tang Yu: “Explain to me—what are these? Why am I supposed to eat them?”
Tang Yu: “Hmm?”
Tang Xin: “...”
She stared at that final “Hmm?” and suddenly the image of the man’s stern face, his dark eyes piercing and cold, flashed in her mind. A chill ran through her. After a few seconds, she hesitantly replied, biting her lip, “You said you needed to recuperate, so I thought nourishing food would help you recover...”
Tang Yu: “Tang Xin, you’re seriously asking for trouble.”
... He cursed.
Tang Xin panicked, realizing she had truly provoked the tiger.
...
In the CEO’s office of Time Light Entertainment, several people gazed at the small table of kidney-tonic dishes, their expressions varying.
Gao Heng remained cautious, trying not to say anything to avoid losing his bonus.
Huo Chendong laughed so hard his shoulders shook, showing no respect for Tang Yu. “Little Sugarheart is truly a treasure. I’m genuinely curious—how many times have you depleted yourself? You don’t look like it…”
Tang Dingding, after understanding the situation, blushed slightly. She glared at Huo Chendong. “I think these dishes might suit you better.”
Huo Chendong: “...”
Tang Dingding stared at the table, murmuring thoughtfully, “Would it be okay if women ate them too?”
Tang Yu lounged on the sofa, legs spread, typing furiously before sending the message. He raised his eyes and shot a cold glance. “Everyone out. None of this is for you.”
“...”
Everyone left.
Tang Yu’s expression remained grim as he stared at the table of food in silence for a while. Then he picked up his chopsticks.
That night, Tang Xin locked her door twice as soon as she got home.
The next morning, before heading to the airport, Tang Yu tried to see her. Standing outside her door, he sent her several messages, but she refused to open it.
...
Tang Yu’s business trip lasted a few days, and in the blink of an eye, it was December. The script was nearing completion. Aside from casting the female lead, Tang Xin hadn’t interfered much with other roles. However, Lu Zhixing would always update her during meetings. That day, in the meeting, Lu Zhixing displayed the actor list for everyone to review.
Most of the key roles had already been decided.
Tang Xin noticed the name “Lu Chuning” among the guest actors and frowned slightly.
Lu Zhixing glanced at her and, after the meeting ended, deliberately held her back. “Lu Chuning’s role doesn’t have many scenes. It should wrap up in about a week.” He paused, choosing his words carefully. “I don’t know whether her relationship with Tang Yu is real or fake. If you…”
Tang Xin interrupted him. “I’m fine. You handle the casting. I don’t care.”
Moreover, Lu Chuning had just won Best Actress. Though Tang Xin was annoyed, having her make a cameo would create hype for promotion and attract fans. It was a great advantage for the movie. Lu Zhixing must have put in a lot of effort to secure her appearance.
Lu Zhixing leaned back in his chair, a faint smile crossing his lips. “Are you sure?”
As the producer, all actors were currently contacted through his side. Tang Yu still didn’t know about Lu Chuning’s cameo. If he did, he’d likely ask Lu Zhixing to replace her. The female lead, Tang Dingding, was being kept tightly under wraps, and no information had been released yet. Everyone only knew she was a newcomer who hadn’t acted before.
Tang Xin smiled. “If I really dislike her, I can just avoid being on set those days. With her popularity, she’ll bring in box office revenue. Why miss out on that? I’m not stupid.”
Lu Zhixing chuckled softly and changed the topic. “I heard Tang Dingding has been taking acting classes recently?”
“Mm.” Tang Xin blinked. “Why? Does Director Lu want to personally train her?”
“Not really. I’m just curious.” Lu Zhixing had been busy lately. He straightened lazily. “Let’s keep the female lead under wraps for now. If she keeps hanging around with me, it’ll be hard to hide. We can train her after filming starts.”
Though he said that, it wasn’t long before the female lead of A Dream For You couldn’t be hidden anymore.
The reason? Zhou Jialu was exposed for terminating her contract with Time Light Entertainment to free up her schedule for the female lead role in A Dream For You , only to end up losing both opportunities. Now, she was being mocked across the internet. It was clearly a deliberate leak by competitors since her new TV drama had just premiered, with steadily rising ratings.
By the time the hashtag trended, it was already 10 p.m. Tang Xin had just arrived at the airport. After parking her car, she couldn’t resist opening the door and stepping out. The cold wind howled, freezing her hands.
She lowered her head to send a WeChat message to Tang Yu, informing him of her location.
Soon, a message came in.
Tang Yu: “Go back to the car and sit. Don’t come out.”
Tang Xin didn’t listen. She tucked her hands into her coat pockets and tiptoed forward, eager to catch sight of his tall, familiar figure. People passed by her, some carrying banners and flowers—clearly fans waiting to pick someone up. They chatted as they walked.
“Have you seen Weibo? Zhou Jialu brought this upon herself. I think she’s done for. Who will dare cast her now? She sees something better and wants to terminate contracts. Serves her right.”
“Exactly. Do you know who the female lead of A Dream For You is? I’m super curious!”
“Zhao Yufei?”
“Possibly! After all, she’s hooked up with Huo Chendong. She’s been his mistress for almost a year. It’s about time she landed a leading role.”
...
Tang Xin overheard their chatter and froze. She pulled out her phone again, braving the cold wind to check Weibo. At first glance, she saw three trending hashtags—
Female Lead of A Dream For You
Zhou Jialu Breaks Contract
Time Light Entertainment
Additionally, her and Lu Zhixing’s Weibo accounts were flooded with mentions. Fans and netizens were clamoring to find out who the movie’s female lead was.
Tang Xin ignored the mentions and clicked on the “Time Light Entertainment” hashtag, which she found confusing. Upon opening it, she realized the volume of information was substantial. Various entertainment bloggers were speculating—or questioning—
Why did Time Light Entertainment decide to invest in A Dream For You only after Lu Zhixing bought the rights?
Remember the copyright dispute? Though Tang Papa didn’t secure the rights, he still decided to invest. Why?
Did he advertise the book because he believed the movie would succeed? Or does this film hold special significance for him? Is it related to Tangxin?
One marketing account’s post had garnered over ten thousand comments. She clicked through to scan the top comments.
“Perhaps Tang Papa truly just thinks the movie will make money. Aren’t you all overthinking this?”
“To be honest, I found it suspicious during the copyright bidding. Time Light Entertainment is such a big company—did the CEO really need to personally intervene? Plus, he retweeted that ‘Rich but Not Stupid’ book giveaway post. I think Tang Yu must have a close relationship with ‘Rich but Not Stupid’ or Tangxin…”
“What do you mean by close relationship? Isn’t President Tang with Lu Chuning?”
“Yes! President Tang belongs to our Ningning!”
...
The comment section had erupted into arguments.
Tang Xin frowned. She, the rightful person involved, hadn’t said anything yet, and they were already arguing!
Tang Yu is mine, okay?!
Just as she prepared to switch to her alternate account and engage in a debate with netizens, she felt the back of someone’s hand gently brush against her cheek. The warmth startled her frozen skin. Before she could fully register his face, she was lifted and placed into the passenger seat. Just before the car door closed, a cold voice said, “I told you to wait in the car. Why are you standing out here in the cold?”
Then, bang —
The car door shut.
She flinched, hearing the trunk open and close. She turned her head, her gaze following his figure outside. Then she looked at the driver’s seat. The man slid in gracefully, adjusting the seat backward with a perfect profile—but his demeanor was too aloof. He removed his coat, intending to toss it into the backseat, but noticed her staring intently. His hand paused mid-air.
The next moment, a warm men’s coat landed in her lap, carrying a familiar scent.
Tang Yu leaned back lazily against the seat, turning his head to fix his gaze on her face. Their eyes met as cars drove past outside, their headlights flashing intermittently in the night. The corner of his lips curved upward in an incredibly charming smile as he leaned closer.
Tang Xin’s heart raced. Temporarily forgetting about Weibo, she closed her eyes, waiting for him to kiss her.
One second,
Two seconds,
Three seconds,
...
Suddenly, a click sound startled her. She opened her eyes in panic, only to hear another click . The man lounged lazily, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding his phone, snapping photos of her.
Tang Xin flushed red, feeling utterly played. She lunged toward him. “Why are you secretly taking pictures of me? They must look terrible!”
Not only that, but he did it intentionally...
They hadn’t seen each other for over a week, and she had thought he was going to kiss her!
Tang Yu embraced her soft body, his hand resting on her waist, letting her lightly hit him without causing any pain. He chuckled softly and handed her the phone. “Take a look?”
As soon as the phone reached her hands, the screen went black and locked.
She glared at him. How was she supposed to see anything now?
Tang Yu directly gave her the password. Tang Xin was momentarily stunned, then smiled brightly. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll use your phone randomly? Or check on you?”
He reclined in his seat, chin slightly raised, looking down at her with half-lidded eyes. “Go ahead and check. My phone has no secrets.”
When a man trusts you enough to give you his phone password and isn’t afraid of you snooping, it means he places immense trust in you. Though touched, Tang Xin didn’t show it outwardly. She quietly lowered her head, entered the password, and unlocked the phone. She saw the three photos he had just taken. Expecting them to be unflattering since she hadn’t managed her expressions, she was surprised to find that the candid shots looked unexpectedly good.
Tang Yu glanced at her and casually asked, “What were you so engrossed in when you were standing outside earlier?”
“Looking at…” Tang Xin suddenly looked up at him. “Tang Yu, I remember that Lu Chuning’s first two movies were produced by Time Light. After they premiered, she gradually gained fame.”
“...”
Tang Yu didn’t understand why she suddenly brought up that name again. He squinted at her and grunted softly, “Signed before the breakup.”
Tang Xin pushed away his firm chest and sat back, her gaze still on him. Her small chin tilted slightly upward. “Tang Yu, did you not pay enough in your breakup settlement?”
So, she came to compete with me for attention.
