Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

68. A Pleasant Surprise

Dong Hua stayed back in the office until 11 PM. Before he left the office, he turned on his phone, and he noticed Feng Jiu messaged him again. He thought to himself, "I miss Xiao Bai already. But... I just don't know how to face her now. I have so many questions, but I don't know how to ask her about it too."

Dong Hua then decided to head home first before thinking of a way to ask her about Su Moye. He also picked up some takeaway food on the way back since he didn't eat anything the whole day. He thought to himself, "Xiao Bai would be worried about me if I don't eat. So I need to eat something."

While he was eating his supper at home, he decided to search Su Moye up online. He wanted to know more about his competitor before knowing how to 'win' him in chasing Feng Jiu.

Dong Hua mostly found articles of Su Moye being one of the top 3 bachelors in the country and how charming he was. Although Dong Hua made it #1 on the list of 'Most eligible Bachelor of the year,' he still felt insecure about himself.

Dong Hua never thought that he would ever feel this way one day. He was always confident in everything he does, but Feng Jiu managed to get him off his high horse. When it comes to Feng Jiu, Dong Hua often felt lost and had a lot of self-doubts.

Su Moye was ranked #2 behind Dong Hua, mainly due to him being rumoured to be a womanizer. Dong Hua also had more 'fans' because he was mysterious and aloof.

Then he came across a public website that shows leaked pictures of the top 10 eligible bachelors and their 'partners.' Usually, people would submit photos on the website if they caught bachelors with their partners.

Dong Hua clicked onto his 'profile' on the website, and as expected, there weren't any pictures of him with another girl. He even read some of the comments written on the website under his profile.

Anonymous1: If the President of Tai Chen Group was spotted with another girl, I'm confident that the girl would be his future wife. We 'followed' him for years, and he was never seen with another girl.

Anonymous2: Totally agree! How I wish I'm his future wife, she would be the luckiest wife ever since he doesn't even look at other girls.

Anonymous3: I saw him once in a private gala event, and he didn't talk to anyone except a few important male guests. If he has a girlfriend, he must really love her a lot.

Anonymous4: Sometimes, I wonder if he's gay.

Dong Hua laughed and thought to himself, "I have never expected myself to fall so deeply in love with Xiao Bai too."

Then he clicked on Su Moye's profile to see how many girls he was caught photographed with.

It appeared that someone from the private forum ripped off the picture of Su Moye and Feng Jiu, and then anonymously submitted it to the public website.

Dong Hua immediately lost control of his emotions again upon seeing the first post. Dong Hua saw a picture of Su Moye and Feng Jiu."Su Moye and his new rumoured girlfriend?" 

He started massaging his temples since it was giving him a slight headache. He felt immense frustration and jealousy at the same time. "Why? Why is Xiao Bai with Su Moye? I thought we are progressing well. I can't even get rid of him, and we still need to work together often. I don't know if I could even face him. What should I do?"

Dong Hua then went into the shower to try to cool himself down. "Xiao Bai, what is Su Moye to you in your heart?" He lightly punched the wall, and then he stood under the water for a long time.
