World 1: Scheming Retired Third-Generation × Pitiful Former Female Lead’s Coworker 20

After being silent for a long time, Fu Yu finally drew the curiosity of netizens.

The entire internet began a manhunt for her.

Even at 3 a.m., netizens were still spamming searches.

Fu Yu’s last tweet showed her IP address as Deep City! She must still be there!

Some enthusiastic users even left comments under the official Weibo of Huo Corporation:

“Huo Hanting, hand over Fu Yu!”

Some people even camped outside the Huo Corporation headquarters day and night.

The public outcry snowballed, with self-media and influencers spreading conspiracy theories.

But soon, all related posts and hashtags were deleted.

Real-time trending topics exploded with three terms:

• Fu Yu and Huo Hanting at Amusement Park (Explosive)
• Algorithm Goddess Baby Bump (Explosive)
• President Huo Waist Support Move (Explosive)

An amateur blogger uploaded several previously taken candid shots.

Fu Yu and Huo Hanting were seen playing at an amusement park. Fu Yu already had a visible baby bump—her belly was quite big.

Huo Hanting carefully supported her as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Meanwhile, Fu Yu didn’t mind her pregnancy at all, walking excitedly toward a claw machine, gleefully catching toys.

Apparently, even a genius algorithm engineer couldn’t resist the temptation of a claw machine—she spent the entire afternoon playing.

More photos showed them eating together.

Huo Hanting lovingly cut Fu Yu’s steak and picked out every piece of onion—something she disliked.

“Caught them in the wild!! Huo always kept a hand on her belly, and Fu Yu was catching toys! What kind of heavenly couple is this?!”

“Guys, forget the claw machine! Fu Yu’s wearing a haute couture starry gown—only three exist globally!”

“Wearing heels in late pregnancy? Trashy man confirmed!”

Of these, only the last comment caught the attention of the Huo Corporation.

“@HuoCorp_LegalDept: Your comment has been recorded as evidence. Please check your court summons in three minutes.”

“Oh my god, they’re so shippable! I used to be against them being together, but now I’m obsessed!”

“They’re locked in for life—I swallowed the key!”

“With two such outstanding parents, their child must be a genius baby!”

“Wait, who leaked this? Could it be… Huo Hanting himself?”

Seeing the suspicion, the amateur blogger quickly denied it:

“I happened to run into them a few days ago at the Harbor City amusement park. I wanted to take a photo with Miss Fu Yu, but she said it wasn’t convenient, so I didn’t push it—just snapped a few pics from afar.”

“What you did was wrong… but next time take more and bring me along!”

“And me!”

“Oh, so this is the famous Fu Yu! I saw her at an art museum and thought it was some celebrity secretly on a date.”

One user attached a short video.

In a corner of the art museum, Huo Hanting pinned Fu Yu against the wall, leaning in for a kiss—but stopped just before.

Then he said something that made Fu Yu laugh, and she grabbed his tie, pulled him in, and kissed him instead.

“Thank god it’s a woman-A, man-O combo. We’re saved.”

“Help! The pink hair tie on Huo’s wrist!!”

“I get to watch this for free???”

“Those forearm muscles—I’m wheezing.”

“I need ten camera angles of this scene within five minutes!”

“You’re all blinded by appearances! I seriously question Huo Hanting’s identity. Can someone check his financial background? Has he moved most of his assets overseas? This guy’s like a male seductress, ruining the nation! Is he distracting Fu Yu on purpose so she stops doing research?”

“You know what this couple needs? Me. The three of us would live a perfect life, hehe.”

“My friend works in a hospital—they said Fu Yu gave birth!”

A netizen shared a photo of Fu Yu’s baby.

Though it was taken from afar and through an incubator—so the face wasn’t clear—netizens still showered it with praise.

“Such a beautiful child. Definitely destined for greatness!”

“Of course! With Deep City’s wealthiest man as the dad and a genius scientist as the mom, this kid was born at the finish line!”

Huo Hanting browsed through all the online chatter, then opened the account Fu Yu had just set up for him.

He selected several photos of them together, ready to post—but stopped.

He didn’t want others to see their happiness. He even wanted to remove all the candid shots online.

But Fu Yu said that people in love should show affection.

If Fu Yu wanted it, then he would do it.

“Did you post it?”

Fu Yu nestled in his arms, playfully tracing circles in his palm with her finger.

“What’s wrong? Want a punishment? Want to lock me up alone again?”

She gently bit Huo Hanting’s throat.

“But I’m afraid they’ll try to steal you.”

“They won’t. I’m yours and yours alone—no one can take me.”

Fu Yu wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

Her kisses were like a miracle drug to Huo Hanting.

He clenched his jaw and finally hit “post.”

Surely, some would try to steal his Fu Yu.

They would do anything to replace him.

Huo Hanting wanted to throw his phone away, but Fu Yu forced him to read the comments.

“Main couple dropping sweet content!”

“More please! Others fake it for clout, but their love is the real deal. I’m here for all of it!”

Huo Hanting didn’t understand all the internet slang, but he could feel it.

Even people thousands of miles away were genuinely wishing him and Fu Yu a happy life together.

So it was possible—to completely have someone without locking them up, just by telling the world they belong to you.

Fu Yu narrowed her eyes, noticing that Huo Hanting’s dark value was slowly decreasing.

With adorable twins and the love of his life by his side, Huo Hanting’s life was back on track.

He was beginning to live like a normal person—able to accept and process the occasional darkness in his heart.

While Fu Yu and Huo Hanting were preparing for the twins’ first birthday party, Gu Huai showed up uninvited.

Huo Hanting immediately went on alert. His long-relaxed nerves tightened once more.

“President Huo, congrats on having both a son and a daughter. I never got to congratulate Mrs. Huo for winning the top algorithm award either. We’re old classmates—let’s catch up sometime.”

Gu Huai forced a polite smile.

Huo Hanting’s expression turned cold as he shielded Fu Yu behind him.

It wasn’t just possessiveness.

Gu Huai was despicable and shameless.

He didn’t want someone so filthy to taint Fu Yu’s eyes.

“President Huo, I wonder if I have the honor of attending the twins’ birthday party?”

Before Huo Hanting could reject him, Fu Yu nodded.
