The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 169 Finally Revealed

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette between his long, slender fingers, the crimson tip of the cigarette standing out starkly in the dim room.

He turned his head to look at the documents on the table, his expression devoid of any emotion; he simply stared at them calmly.

The relationship between Bai Yu and Bai Wei is already clear.

She was kept in the dark the whole time; there must be some connection between him and all these things.

He took a deep breath, and smoke slowly billowed from his mouth and nose, swirling around his handsome face, adding a touch of mystery and melancholy to his already aloof demeanor.

Outside the window was the bustling city night scene, with cars and lights shining brightly, but his gaze was not on this lively scene. It was as if he was looking through it all to a more distant place.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering some thorny problem.

As time went by, the ash grew longer and longer, and then with a "thud," it fell to the floor.

He remained oblivious, still lost in his own world. Only when the cigarette had burned out did he snap out of it, stubbing it out neatly and cleanly in the ashtray.

"Aran, you are still my Aran." After saying this softly, he slowly walked to the table, picked up the document, and his eyes became even more profound.

The secrets behind Bai Yu and Bai Wei are like a giant net, slowly tightening around them. And are they safe within this net?

Returning to this place once again, she accepted this fact.

Fu Shiyue allowed her to move around freely at home, but she was not allowed to go out.

They are no different from canaries in a cage.

She was so bored every day...

Strolling in the back garden, followed by a servant, Xiao Si

She looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, feeling extremely troubled.

He stopped in one spot and said, "Tell me what happened to me here before."

“Miss Bai, no, Madam, when you were here before, I hadn’t been here for very long. It was only later that the young master ordered me to take care of you. At that time, you only asked me to buy things, and we didn’t have much contact.”

"What have you bought?" Her voice was soft, but carried a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

Xiaosi hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering whether to answer truthfully. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she whispered, "It's... birth control pills..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Si seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut her mouth, not daring to look at her again.

Upon hearing the words "birth control pills," Bai Wei's face instantly turned bright red, as if someone had seen through her deepest secret.

Her heart started racing involuntarily, and an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

However, just as Bai Wei was feeling embarrassed and awkward, Xiao Si suddenly added, "Madam, the young master loves you very much."

Bai Wei looked up at the sky and unconsciously drifted into a daze.

What do you think love is?

Suddenly, I felt my mind was completely blank; I had no idea what I had been through.

From that moment on, our feelings for each other were intertwined.

It's like a brand new blank sheet of paper, without any marks on it...

Xiao Si was slightly taken aback, then said seriously, "Madam, I've never been in a relationship, so I can't give you an answer. I think it's about mutual companionship and mutual care. Although the young master looks aloof, he still holds you dear in his heart."

Bai Wei listened, a slight ripple stirring in her heart. Just then, steady footsteps sounded in the distance; it was Fu Shiyue arriving.

Looking at her, he asked, "Why are you just standing here in a daze?"

"If I'm not here, where else can I be? Do you expect me to stay in your room day and night as your caged bird?"

Fu Shiyue walked to her side. "I'm sorry to trouble you for now. Once things are resolved, you can go wherever you want." Bai Wei snorted coldly. "How long will that be? Am I supposed to be stuck here forever?" He reached out and gently took her hand. "It won't be long. I'll handle it as soon as possible."

Bai Wei pulled her hand away. "You keep saying 'as soon as possible,' but I have no idea what you're up to. If I really am Ye Xingran, why didn't you tell me before?" Fu Shiyue frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your body hadn't fully recovered yet. Telling you wouldn't have helped; it would only have put you in danger. Believe me, everything I did was to protect you." Bai Wei looked at him, her eyes full of suspicion. "How can I believe you? You've kept me locked up like a prisoner, yet you haven't told me anything."

Fu Shiyue sighed helplessly, "I know you'll be angry, but I have no other choice. Once I expose the mastermind behind this, the whole truth will be laid bare before you."

Bai Wei remained silent, her heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure whether to continue questioning him or choose to believe him.

"I want to be alone. You go ahead with your work. I have Xiaosi with me. You can go now."

Fu Shiyue felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her resolute expression, but he still nodded. "Then you should rest well. Call me if you need anything." With that, he turned and left, his steps slightly heavy.

Watching his departing figure, Bai Wei felt a mix of emotions. Xiao Si cautiously said from the side, "Madam, the young master was only doing it for your own good." Bai Wei didn't respond, only continuing to stare blankly.

I don't want to deal with him anymore, I'm just wandering around here.

"Young Master, there is a Mr. Bai Yu outside who wants to see you," the butler hurriedly reported upstairs to the study.

Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened. Bai Yu must have a purpose in coming to his door at this time. "Tell him to come to my study." His tone was calm, but it exuded an undeniable authority.

A cryptic smile played on his lips. "President Fu, how have you been?" Bai Yu greeted him, a half-smile playing on his lips.

But he harbored his own ulterior motives; his purpose in coming to see Fu Shiyue was definitely not so simple.

"Speak, what do you want?" He cut straight to the point, not wasting time.

Fu Shiyue remained expressionless and spoke in a cold tone, seemingly uninterested in the meeting and only wanting to end the conversation as soon as possible.

Bai Yu appeared much more composed. With his hands in his pockets, he slowly strolled up to Fu Shiyue, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Mr. Fu, how is my sister doing here with you? I'm a little worried."

He snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his disgust for him, "She's much safer with me than with you."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Bai Yu's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and continued, "President Fu, let's be frank. I know everything you've been investigating me and Bai Wei. How about we make a deal? You stop investigating me, and I promise I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."

Fu Shiyue sneered, "You think I'd believe you? Bai Yu, don't think I don't know about your underhanded tactics."

Bai Yu's expression changed slightly; clearly, Fu Shiyue's words had struck a nerve. Just as he was about to retort, Fu Shiyue suddenly stood up, staring directly at him with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through him.

“So, you have so many secrets…” Fu Shiyue’s lips curled into a playful smile. He slowly circled Bai Yu, as if examining a prey. “I’m quite curious, just how many more things are you hiding?”

While strolling in the back garden, Bai Wei felt a strong urge and decided to talk to Fu Shiyue, hoping he would allow her to go out for a walk.

Being confined to the same place for so long made her feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable. After all, she was a living, breathing human being, not a bird trapped in a cage.

Bai Wei walked lightly up the stairs, each step seeming somewhat heavy, towards the study.

Finally, she arrived at the study door. Just as she was about to knock, she suddenly heard voices inside; the voice sounded like her brother's.

What does my brother want with Fu Shiyue?

Intrigued, she stopped what she was doing and pressed her ear close to the crack in the door, trying to hear what the people inside were saying.

Bai Yu felt a little uneasy as Fu Shiyue stared intently at him with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

But he still tried his best to remain calm, pretending to be nonchalant as he said, "President Fu, you're just making baseless accusations without any evidence. How can you slander me like this? If Weiwei knew that you were making things difficult for her family, wouldn't she hate and despise you?"

"You should be familiar with the name Lu Fei, right?"

Upon hearing those two words, Bai Yu paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

He said, "Fu Shiyue, I know everything about you and Bai Wei in the past, including her former name Ye Xingran and all the things she did to get close to you. You don't know what you think of her, do you really want me to tell you everything? Don't push things too far. If we can each take a step back, it'll be better for everyone, won't it?"

However, Fu Shiyue remained as immovable as a mountain, his steps steady and firm as he approached Bai Yu step by step.

Every step felt like it was treading on Bai Yu's heart, making his heart pound even harder.

The distance between the two was constantly shrinking, and Bai Yu could even clearly feel the powerful pressure emanating from Fu Shiyue, like an invisible giant wave tightly enveloping him.

Fu Shiyue's face was as dark as the sky before a storm. His eyes were fixed on Bai Yu, as if trying to see through him to every corner of his heart. His voice was deep and powerful as he spoke, each word distinct: "Oh? You actually know everything about her and me? Then tell me, how did we meet? And how did we get to where we are now? Tell me!"

"Do you really want to hear it? Fine, then I'll tell you. The reason the person you love most went to such lengths to get close to you is entirely because she used to be an assassin for an organization. That organization was called Yunmeng, and its leader was a man named Lu Fei. And I, Bai Yu, am the founder of Yunmeng."

Hearing this from outside the study, Bai Wei was completely stunned. She unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with disbelief.
