Chapter 2300: Chapter 2300: Custom Lover (35)
Chuzheng is set to have a resting time, generally ending her rest a bit earlier than Fong Yan, to help him prepare breakfast.
However, often due to Chuzheng’s sudden whims, Fong Yan always finds himself short on time, worried about being late every day.
This kind of life is worlds apart from his previous calm, monotonous life.
There’s more tension and excitement, and also added uncertainty.
She always appears suddenly, disrupting his plans.
She also waits quietly in the office when he works late into the night.
She even helps him solve some troubles...
Seeing her, the tiredness from the whole day vanishes.
With her presence, he feels particularly at ease.
Fong Yan is unsure of what this means for him. Does he like her?
But...
After all, she isn’t human.
The existence of companion robots is merely to meet some physiological needs of people, after all not everyone wishes to get married, and nowadays this is legally recognized.
Companion robots are clean, devoted, and can be customized according to personal preferences.
People can use companion robots, but who would truly fall in love with their companion robot?
Everyone knows they are just cold data.
But she’s different...
She isn’t cold data.
She is existence surpassing everything.
Fong Yan doesn’t want anyone to know, she should belong only to him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Fong Yan glanced sideways, seeing Chuzheng carrying a plate of fruit, her golden blonde hair slightly swaying, exquisite and beautiful features radiating brilliance.
"Nothing." Fong Yan looked toward the green trees in the distance: "Are you willing to live with me?"
Chuzheng handed the fruit to him: "Aren’t I living with you now?"
Fong Yan took the plate into his arms: "I meant in the future... I might be overthinking. Your capabilities shouldn’t be restricted here by me, you have..."
"You’re mine, of course I’ll be with you in the future."
Fong Yan suddenly turned his head, Chuzheng stood beside him, slightly tilting her head, her light gold eyes reflecting his figure, her gaze focused and serious.
The girl suddenly bent down, her golden blonde hair falling over his chest.
Her lips slightly parted, voice cold and still: "Are you unwilling?"
Fong Yan stared at her blankly, after a moment, reached out and twirled a lock of her hair, gently holding: "Willing."
"That’s good then." Chuzheng stood up, her hair slipping from Fong Yan’s fingertips: "Otherwise, I’d have to get rough."
Fong Yan: "..."
"Finish it." Chuzheng pointed to the fruit on the plate: "I’ll go recharge."
Fong Yan: "..."
Fong Yan sat alone on the terrace, always feeling that something was amiss.
He looked at the fruit on the plate, and then glanced at the empty room, finally letting out a heavy sigh, and finished the fruit on the plate.

Half a year after Li Sheng disappeared, one day he suddenly reappeared outside his own company, physically fine. When asked where he’d been, he couldn’t explain.
Hengrun Technology had long changed during Li Sheng’s disappearance.
The people he had cultivated over the past six months had either defected or been dismissed.
Li Sheng attempting to regain control of Hengrun Technology was not going to be easy.
Moreover, they found that Li Sheng sometimes talked to himself, appearing somewhat mentally unstable.
But this was occasional, most of the time Li Sheng was just as he was before.
Hengrun Technology was entangled in internal power struggles, and with Li Sheng’s half-year blank period, he was basically at a disadvantage.
Chuzheng only occasionally paid attention, until after a period of neglect, she received news about Li Sheng’s upcoming marriage to Shu Zhixi.
Chuzheng: "..."
Skipping the engagement, directly getting married.
Shu Zhixi had been in trouble before, not doing well, recovering in the hospital.
Chuzheng hadn’t heard news of her for a long time, who would’ve thought this was the explosive news she’d be greeted with.
Li Sheng wanting to rely on the Shu Family to help win this battle, was understandable.
After Shu Zhixi married over, with the help of the Shu Family, Li Sheng did recover for a while.
Unfortunately, soon Shu Zhixi and Li Sheng were talking about divorce, accusing Li Sheng of sometimes acting like a madman at home.
Li Sheng, however, said Shu Zhixi was the one who was crazy.
This matter was reported and became a hot topic of discussion during people’s leisure.
Li Sheng wanting a divorce, while also dealing with company issues, couldn’t endure such turmoil even if he were made of iron.
This matter stirred up for nearly half a year in total. In the end, Li Sheng lost the management rights of Hengrun Technology, although he still had shares, but not many.
Shu Zhixi and Li Sheng divorced.
And the Shu Family significantly benefited from this incident.
Li Sheng, realizing later, finally understood the Shu Family’s intention, why they had Shu Zhixi marry him at that time, and later suddenly caused a divorce.
It was all a part of their plan.
But now it was too late to say anything.
Later Shu Zhixi disappeared, reportedly the last person she saw was Li Sheng.
Unfortunately, there was no clear evidence proving Shu Zhixi’s disappearance was related to Li Sheng, so it ended unresolved.
-
Chuzheng didn’t expect Li Sheng to still dare to seek her out, and in such an unabashed manner.
"What’s the matter?"
"You have to help me." Li Sheng didn’t waste words: "Otherwise I’ll reveal your identity to everyone, then do you think you can continue living so well?"
If the outside world learned she was a self-aware artificial intelligence, regardless of the reason, her life would indeed not be so peaceful.
Chuzheng was unaffected by Li Sheng’s threat: "If you dare speak out, I’ll dare to make you disappear like Shu Zhixi."
Li Sheng’s expression slightly changed: "Shu Zhixi’s disappearance has nothing to do with me?"
"Oh, I just said I’d make you disappear like her, I didn’t say it had anything to do with you, why are you nervous."
Li Sheng: "..."
Li Sheng cursed under his breath: "Are you really unafraid of exposure?"
Chuzheng glared at him: "Do you really think you’ll have a chance to speak out? Given what you say now, who would believe you?" I won’t let you have the chance to say anything, with bodyguards protecting you around the clock.
In thinking about this, I really am a kind person!
Li Sheng: "..."
He found that the conditions he thought could threaten Chuzheng were utterly useless now, she wasn’t scared at all.
"Take care." Chuzheng closed the door on Li Sheng, and after a long while, Li Sheng finally regained his senses.
She’s not afraid of me speaking out?
Alright then!
"We shall see then!"
He didn’t believe there was no one interested in acquiring such an artificial intelligence as her.
Clenching his fist, he glanced in the direction of the villa and left, full of fury.
Li Sheng first had to exclude the simplest online methods.
With Chuzheng around, he surely wouldn’t get anything out publicly.
So he thought to contact people he knew, but every time he didn’t even finish his words before they found excuses to cut off the communication, giving him no chance.
Li Sheng contacted everyone he knew.
Even if someone was willing to listen, the moment he tried to speak, the call would break off.
Each time, it was the same.
The other side thought he was just playing tricks, and now they couldn’t reach him at all.
It was even worse when he arranged to meet people, with accidents happening constantly, providing no opportunity to speak.
At this point, Li Sheng finally understood what Chuzheng’s words meant.
