Chapter 65 This is True Love

After glancing at the three people in front of her, Duan Xi'er finally fixed her gaze on Feng Manman.

“Manman, it’s okay for you to act foolishly with me before, but from today onwards you can’t do that with Taotao anymore.”

Feng Manman crossed her arms and chuckled, "What, is she a national treasure?"

"It's not that it's a national treasure, but Tao Tao is pregnant right now, and the doctor said that getting too emotional is bad for the baby."

Feng Manman's gaze sharpened as she met Tao Zhitao's increasingly smug smile, then she looked at Duan Yu behind her.

The man remained expressionless, even calm and collected. "That's right, Tao Tao and I will be having our engagement banquet in mid-March. Everyone is welcome to attend."

Deliberately ignoring a deep, fixed gaze, Duan Yu left with the words, "Xiao Xi, look after Tao Tao for me while I go up and say hello."

The man's tall figure walked straight past Feng Manman, his gait decisive and swift.

Lu Zhenyu stepped forward and put her arm around him, saying, "I want to go to the restroom. Will you come with me?"

“I’m going too!” Shi Yiqiao immediately followed, linking arms with Feng Manman from the other side. “Let’s go together.”

She smiled, watching the three figures disappear into the distance. Duan Xi'er raised her voice, "They're leaving already? We finally bumped into each other, why didn't you chat a little longer?"

Lu Zhenyu suddenly turned around and pointed at her.

The force of that blow was extremely heavy.

It's like saying, "Shut your mouth!"

Duan Xi'er's expression froze instantly.

It wasn't that she was afraid of her; it was that she knew she was being threatened.

He took a deep breath and then smiled smugly.

No need to be arrogant, Lu Zhenyu, it'll be your turn to cry soon.

The sound of flushing water came from the bathroom. Lu Zhenyu came out after vomiting acid, and Shi Yiqiao went to help her.

"Why do I suddenly feel nauseous? Is it a stomach problem?"

Feng Manman, who looked visibly downcast, greeted the two people who came out from inside. "Zhenzhen can't stand strong perfumes."

Shi Yiqiao suddenly remembered, "Is it the scent on Duan Xi'er? I heard that Shen Jingsi specially commissioned a perfumer to recreate it, is that true?"

"Go to hell." Feng Manman said as if she had a pile of shit in her ears. "Just listen to that old woman Shen's nonsense. If Shen Jingsi were that attentive to her, they would have a whole litter of children."

Just two days ago they were calling him a scoundrel, but today they're defending him.

After rinsing her mouth, Lu Zhenyu smiled and asked, "You two aren't breaking up again?"

Feng Manman pouted, "Considering the few good things he's done, let's reluctantly continue dating."

Lu Zhenyu asked, "What kind of personnel?"

I've said too much.

Feng Manman grinned and chuckled twice, "It's nothing to mention about doing good deeds for humanity and the motherland in punishing evil and eliminating wickedness."

Lu Zhenyu didn't pry, but reached out and brushed the scraps of paper off her face, rubbing her head. "You've calmed down? You're not sad anymore?"

Feng Manman's smile faded slightly. "I wasn't really sad, it was just an accident."

"It's quite scary." Shi Yiqiao was also completely puzzled. "How did she get pregnant?"

Feng Manman knew something about this. "It must have been before the New Year. Tao Zhitao held a birthday banquet and invited Duan Yu. When it was time to blow out the candles, the two of them disappeared together."

"Huh!" Shi Yiqiao exclaimed in admiration. "That's really impressive."

The three of them quickly came out of the restroom and glanced at the two sisters, who were surrounded by the socialites who had been chatting with Ququ Lu Zhenyu earlier.

"You and Duan Yu are getting engaged too! It's like you two sisters have double happiness!"

"I envy you all so much. You're all going to marry the men you love, unlike me..."

The woman stopped speaking halfway through, glancing at the three people walking past them, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes when she looked at Shi Yiqiao.

Another female companion patted her on the shoulder, "So what? She's just a bed warmer. Does she really think that following Si Wei for nine years will make her a phoenix on a branch? Doesn't she even care whether the Si family looks down on her?"

Tao Zhitao affectionately took the woman's hand, "Don't be discouraged, look at how Xiaoxi and I have both seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

The woman rolled her eyes at the retreating figure. "You guys overestimate her. Am I afraid I can't compete with her? I'm just a pain in the ass."

The women exchanged glances, and Duan Xi'er smiled, "We see through it but don't say anything. Be careful that Si Wuwei doesn't come back to life after hearing those three words."

Those people spoke without any restraint, and they couldn't wait to say it in front of Shi Yiqiao.

Just as she reached the sofa, Feng Manman couldn't hold back any longer. "Damn it, I'm going to have someone chase these chickens, ducks, and toads away right now."

Shi Yiqiao grabbed her. She was almost thirty, but her face was so smooth and firm that there wasn't even a wrinkle when she smiled.

"Ignore them. These people love to immerse themselves in their own world and have fun. Today is your brother's big day. We'll team up and deal with them next time we have the chance."

Girls who have struggled and learned on their own since childhood are the best at dealing with people.

He is worldly-wise but not cynical, considerate but not slick, and most importantly, he has always upheld that purity.

Lu Zhenyu, who was being held between the two men, suddenly had a new understanding of Shi Yiqiao, whom she had only known for less than three hours.

Admiration shone in his eyes, and he leaned forward, raising his hand like a primary school student, "Okay, count me in, I'll be the one to take charge of the fight."

Shi Yiqiao took a step back and looked the man up and down. "You... with such a small frame?"

Lu Zhenyu is 169 cm tall, which is not short. However, she has a small frame, while Shi Yiqiao is a girl from the north with a good figure and beautiful face. Standing in front of her, Lu Zhenyu looks very small.

Feng Manman said, "Then don't underestimate her. Those little hands are incredibly sharp at slapping people. Even Duan Yu has been slapped."

"Huh!" Shi Yiqiao was completely stunned.

I thought she was a quiet, well-mannered, and obedient young lady, but it turns out she's a cool and sassy girl.

Just as the person was about to sigh, a lazy voice came from above:

"Shi, Yi, Qiao, when did you get here?"

Her graceful figure, outlined by the white lace dress, straightened up!

Shi Yiqiao didn't turn around. After a two-second pause, she blinked and scratched her head, looking somewhat bewildered. "Huh? Is someone calling me?"

Feng Manman, who was next to her, mischievously whispered in her ear, "Of course it's your fearless oppa calling you~"

Shi Yiqiao: "..."

The words were forced out through clenched teeth, "Don't mess with me! If we really fight here, I'll blame it on you!"

Lu Zhenyu chuckled to herself, watching over these two lovable clowns; she was practically laughing so hard she was getting crow's feet.

Suddenly, Duan Xi'er across from her called out, "A-Si, when did you get here?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned around and looked up.

In front of the mast on the second floor, Shen Jingsi, dressed in a dark blue velvet suit, used one hand to hold the mast and the other to hold a wine glass. He tilted his head back, swallowed hard, and took a sip. His dark eyes, devoid of emotion, casually glanced down.

He was already fair-skinned, but he had lost some weight recently. His sharp jawline, like a newly honed dagger, exuded a murderous aura and a chilling presence.

To people, he seems like a high and mighty emperor, aloof, arrogant, and unapproachable.

"They're not even married yet, and they're already asking about everything?"

Duan Xi'er's smile froze on her face. She glanced at the onlookers around her and forced herself to go upstairs.

He ran into the officer who was coming down the stairs with his hands tucked in.

She moved left, and he moved left; she moved right, and he moved right. After several rounds, Duan Xi'er's face darkened. She put her hands on her hips and took a step back. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Siwei, still as irreverent as ever, raised an eyebrow and said, "Stop flattering yourself. My woman is prettier than yours."

This wasn't the first time he'd publicly confronted her. Ever since that time at Night when she said, "Serves you right for not finding Si Yiqiao after four years," he'd held a grudge ever since.

Having gained the upper hand in the verbal exchange, Siwei defiantly brushed past her shoulder and went straight to the three people who were holding hands and watching the commotion.

Shi Yiqiao thought he would question her in public, but...

Si Wei walked up to Lu Zhenyu, held out his right hand, revealing an orange with three segments missing. "Here, your brother peeled it himself. Don't be too touched."

Lu Zhenyu's lips twitched, his expression practically screaming, "Big brother, do you think I dare to move?"

Feng Manman slid sideways, spreading her arms to block in the middle, "What are you doing?"

This man is really something. He just finished talking about his crush on Lu Zhenyu, and now he's causing trouble.

How are the three of them supposed to get along in the future?

Si Wei's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "It's just peeling an orange for Little Pearl, why are you making such a fuss?"

Shi Yiqiao, who had just finished sulking, suddenly stepped forward, snatched the plate, and tossed it high into the air. The plate and oranges spun twice on the rim of the bucket before landing steadily.

She clapped her hands crisply and decisively, "I'm an expert in garbage sorting. I've confirmed it's hazardous waste. All done. You're welcome."

Who would have thought she would pull such a stunt in public? Si Wei was completely dumbfounded. He turned around not to look at the trash can, but to see Shen Jingsi leaning against the mast on the second floor.

The man's face was expressionless, even calm.

But Siwei knew that he had already thought of a hundred ways to kill him once he left this door.

Seeing that the person had caused trouble and was trying to run away, the officer shouted, "Shi Yiqiao, you stop right there!"

The woman slowly turned around, appearing open and fearless, but it was all an act.

He went too far in showing off and couldn't stop himself.

The oranges were peeled neatly and arranged on an elegant plate, clearly showing that they had been prepared with care and attention.

Thoughts, ah.

Aside from constantly devising new ways to seduce her in bed, when has this man ever done anything like that?

This is true love, true love.

But Shi Yiqiao still braced herself, seemingly indifferent to outsiders, saying, "I already said there's no need to thank me, why did you call me?"

Seeing Siwei rushing over with a murderous aura, Lu Zhenyu stepped forward and blocked Shi Yiqiao's path.

Her expression remained indifferent throughout. "What are you doing? You've got guts now, hitting a woman?"

Siwei fears no one in his life except Lu Zhenyu's mouth.

It's not that she's particularly toxic, it's just that this girl loves to reason.

But he always liked to do unreasonable things, and once she caught him doing something wrong, the girl would relentlessly chatter in his ear like a wooden fish, "da da da da..."

The person immediately straightened up and even took a small step back to create a safe distance.

"Who said I was going to hit a woman? We haven't seen each other for days, can't I come over and hug her?"

He just blurted out the lie without batting an eye.

Shi Yiqiao, who was behind him, rolled her eyes inwardly.

I wonder who that scoundrel was who broke her bedroom door lock and sneaked into her bed the night before last.
