Sweet to the heart

Chapter 10

【Damn, I saw a handsome guy in the middle of the night, watched it dozens of times, and can't sleep. I'm going crazy.】

【I can’t help it; I feel like I’m already sitting on top of him.】

【Are you all so uninformed? This is Frank, the president of SY Group, known for his stunning looks and wealth. With a net worth in the billions, he doesn’t mingle in the entertainment industry and keeps a low profile, but you can’t hide such high looks!!!】

【That’s right, this is Frank, the president of SY Group. I’ve seen him in finance magazines; he’s the real-life CEO with a dominant presence. And he’s already married. To the person imagining sitting on him, he’s taken.】

The comments have shifted from praising Frank’s looks to gossiping about his and his wife’s marriage. It’s unclear where all these rumors come from, but one after another, they make it seem like they’ve witnessed it firsthand.

High-society gossip is always intriguing. Although Frank doesn’t use social media, since taking over SY Group, he’s inevitably been photographed in public places. His handsome appearance and prestigious background have made his photos popular on various websites. Many girls online call him their idol or husband, and the fact that Mrs., who has never been exposed, adds to the interest. The video’s comments have surprisingly surpassed ten thousand.

Emily browsed the comments section for a while when Summer sent over a screenshot of a comment.

Amidst the comments doubting the longevity of her marriage to Frank and predicting an imminent divorce, there was a unique comment:

【Did only I notice the ring on Frank’s hand? It’s blinding! Isn’t this an announcement to the world that he’s married? I heard he rarely gives interviews but made a special one to announce his marriage. Clearly, he has a good relationship with his wife. It’s like fairy-tale love; I’m shipping them. From today, I’m a CP fan of Mr. and Mrs. Ryan.】

Emily: “......”

She and Frank had never appeared together at any events, and no one even knew what she looked like. If someone can ship them like this, that person must be a magician.

Because of this person's quirky tastes, Emily subconsciously glanced at the account name.

【The Sweetest Couple in the World: Frank and Ryan】

......

Even the account name has been changed.

And they even made up a Mary Sue-style story, which they posted below their comment about shipping the couple:

【Mr. and Mrs. Ryan’s family are long-time friends. He is tall and handsome, she is petite and lovely. He is a few years older than her and silently protects her. When she graduated, he couldn’t wait to take her to get their marriage license, making her his woman. In the business world, he is decisive and powerful, but he is always careful with his delicate self. She said she didn’t want to be exposed to the media, so he spreads his wings to shield her. Although she has never appeared in public, everyone knows she is Mrs. Ryan.】

Emily’s eye twitched. With such a rich imagination, she almost doubted it was Summer who sent it.

Summer: 【You and your husband are like a perfect romance drama, too good to ship!!!】

Emily: 【Should I use the Dragon Subduing Palm to wake you up? Shipping me with Frank is like shipping Lin Daiyu with Voldemort.】

Summer: 【……】

Her phone rang; the delivery had arrived.

Emily answered the call and told Summer she was going downstairs to pick up the food.

Frank had been in the study since returning home, and the door was closed. Emily guessed he was so busy that he wouldn’t remember to eat. She ordered dinner for both of them.

After bringing the food to the dining table, Emily sent Frank a message.

【I ordered takeout for dinner. It’s here now. When will you be free to eat?】

After waiting for half a minute on the chat page with Frank, she didn’t get a reply. He was probably still working and hadn’t seen her message yet.

She had eaten quite a bit during lunch under the old man’s persuasion, so she wasn’t very hungry and wasn’t in a hurry to eat. She leaned back slightly, sitting in the chair and scrolling through her phone.

Unknowingly, she might have accidentally followed the video when Summer sent it earlier. The video appeared on her Twitter homepage.

The account named 【The Sweetest Couple in the World: Frank and Ryan】 had its comment pinned at the top. Many people replied saying they were blinded by the wedding ring on Frank’s hand.

Some said they didn’t see Frank wearing a ring.

Emily hadn’t paid much attention to whether Frank wore a wedding ring before. Since their marriage was a business arrangement, aside from the wedding day, she had removed the wedding ring the next day and left it on the bedside table to avoid questions. She didn’t expect Frank would wear it in public.

But it might just be an ordinary ring, not a wedding ring.

Strangely, Emily clicked on the video again to see if the ring on Frank’s hand was indeed a wedding ring.

With the background music playing, Frank’s face appeared on the phone screen. The video was dimly lit, and his hand wasn’t shown. Just as the video was about to end, a side shot briefly captured his fingers, but it was too quick to see where the ring was.

Emily stared closely at the phone screen, replaying the end of the video several times before she vaguely saw the ring on his left ring finger.

Confirming that he wore a wedding ring, Emily didn’t think, like some netizens, that the ring on the ring finger meant it was connected to the heart. Frank wearing the ring might be to convince the family that they were a loving couple.

Emily didn’t think too much about it. Just as she was about to exit the video, a magnetic voice came from behind her, “How long are you going to watch?”

Emily had been so focused on the video that she hadn’t noticed when Frank came in. Startled by his sudden voice, with the video still playing, Emily quickly turned off the video and looked back to see Frank standing behind her, hands in pockets, casually observing her with a half-smile, as if waiting for an explanation about why she was watching his video.

Emily turned her phone face down on the table, brushed her hair, and tried to stay composed while looking at him.

“When did you come down? I didn’t hear you.”

“You were so engrossed in the video.”

“......”

Engrossed in watching the video.

The person in the video was him.

Which meant she was engrossed in watching him.

Emily awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, feeling embarrassed that she had watched his video so attentively that she didn’t even notice him coming in. She had watched it repeatedly; he wouldn’t think she had some improper thoughts about him, right?
