Chapter 196 I Just Want to Go Back to My Old Beloved

The news that Fu Beichen and N God had not divorced was like a bombshell, drawing all the netizens who had been lying low into the water.

Public opinion quickly shifted, pointing directly at Jiang Kexin.

"So, Jiang Kexin is the blatant third party?"

"Even if she is now the eldest daughter of the Bai family, it doesn't change the fact that she interfered in someone else's marriage."

Jiang Yinghou's fans were unyielding, displaying explosive fighting power.

"Only those who have been officially announced are the real people, and the one who isn't loved is the third party."

"We only acknowledge the official announcement between President Fu and Kexin. That 'N God' is the one whose divorce was officially announced. Let whoever wants to acknowledge it do so."

Fans of both sides are engaged in a fierce online battle across various platforms.

Fu Beichen, the male protagonist of the incident, naturally became the focus of criticism.

His indecisiveness is the root cause of all this chaos.

Amidst a barrage of criticism, Fu Beichen's official Weibo account posted an update.

"I just want to go back to my ex. For the rest of my life, it's only her."

These two short sentences, without any further explanation, reveal an undeniable stubbornness.

Public opinion was instantly ignited again.

The atmosphere in the living room of the Sheng family villa was so heavy it seemed to drip water.

No sooner had the Mu family left than Gu Xingnian was surrounded by the four leaders of the Sheng family.

As Sheng's mother held up her phone, the text on the screen of Fu Beichen's Weibo post was glaring and scorching.

"You want to go back to an ex? Hmm?"

Seeing her mother's anxious expression, Gu Xingnian shook her head without hesitation.

"I can't eat it, I can't chew it."

Five words, resounding with conviction.

The tense atmosphere in the living room seemed to ease slightly for a moment.

Mr. Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief before sitting back down on the sofa and speaking earnestly.

“Daughter, that’s right.”

"When a man cheats, once he does it, he'll do it countless times."

He looked at Gu Xingnian with eyes full of heartache.

"His messy affair with that Jiang Kexin has been circulating online for ages."

“Now that woman is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she will definitely cause trouble in the future. Let’s not get involved.”

Gu Xingnian nodded vigorously in agreement.

Seeing this, Aunt Sheng quickly changed the subject, "I think that Young Master Mu today was quite good."

"His looks and family background are top-notch. Miss Mu also said that he has never had a girlfriend before. I think we can consider it."

Gu Xingnian almost choked as soon as she picked up her water glass, feeling that something was wrong.

Sheng Weiwei, who was standing to the side, spoke first, hitting the nail on the head.

"Mom, Niannian is a goddess, and the Mu family's main business is medical care. Isn't that like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of fat meat?"

"Besides, how do you know that the man surnamed Mu isn't here to scam marriage and children?"

"Think about it, a man who's 26 and has never even had a girlfriend, does that make sense? What if he's impotent too?"

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng were speechless.

That sounds so familiar.

Aunt Sheng realized what was happening and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Then... let's observe further. There's no need to rush."

Mr. Sheng chimed in, "Yes, I'll have someone investigate. We can't be careless about this."

He secretly worried that another person like Bai Yu might appear.

Not only will the Chinese cabbage be gone, but even the baby bok choy will be taken away by others.

Thinking of this, he shivered for no reason.

Immediately, Mr. Sheng took out his phone and made a call.

When the call connected, his expression was serious and his tone was official.

"Hello, is this the sanitation department?"

"Someone is littering in front of my house. Could you please come and deal with it?"

"Yes, that's the one surnamed Fu. Let's arrest him and take him to pay the fine."

Sheng Weiwei listened in stunned silence, then gave her father a thumbs up.

That move was absolutely brilliant.

It was late at night.

Lin Qi had just finished showering and was only wearing a pair of dark blue boxer briefs.

He yawned and crawled into the warm bed, but before he could even get comfortable, his phone on the bedside table started vibrating incessantly.

After receiving the call, he was completely stunned.

Finally, he had no choice but to get out of bed, hurriedly put on his clothes, and brave the cold wind to go to the sanitation bureau to pay the fine for the emergency report.

Gu Xingnian returned to her room.

More than a dozen paper airplanes were scattered on the balcony floor.

She walked over silently and picked them up one by one, her movements gentle.

She glanced down at the garden and froze.

In the darkness, Mr. Sheng, accompanied by four bodyguards, was carefully collecting paper airplanes on the lawn of the garden, carrying a large cardboard box.

On every single plane, Niannian's name was written; he couldn't bear to throw any of them into the trash.

Because he knew how much his daughter treasured the paper airplane Fu Beichen had given her; she had looked at it for fourteen years.

Gu Xingnian's eyes instantly reddened.

The next morning.

Gu Xingnian woke up to a refreshing floral fragrance.

She opened her eyes and saw a bunch of lilies, still in bud, that had appeared on her bedside table.

Dewdrops still clung to the petals, and a familiar fir scent lingered in the air.

Her heart sank.

She strode into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, she saw a faint red mark on her fair neck.

That madman, he really came last night...

The snow in the capital is still falling heavily.

Zhuang Linyue sat by her daughter's bedside, feeling as if her world had collapsed.

Upon learning that her daughter had been violated, she held Jiang Kexin and cried for a long time, completely heartbroken.

In the end, it was Jiang Kexin who comforted her instead.

"Mom, I'm okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

As she spoke, her eyes turned as red as a rabbit's.

"I just don't know if Brother Beichen... will still marry me."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Linyue immediately wiped away her tears, her eyes hardening.

"Don't worry, your brother has already sent people to retrieve those videos, and Fu Beichen won't know about it."

“I will definitely make him marry you. As long as he is willing to attend the family recognition banquet, he will definitely be my Bai family’s son-in-law.”

“Your father will also put pressure on him. The Fu family has many businesses in the capital, all of which are under your father’s control.”

Hearing her mother's assurance, Jiang Kexin nodded heavily, her anxious heart calming down a little.

At this moment, Bai Yu's slender fingers were holding a report he had just received, his face so solemn it could be squeezed out of water.

Without the slightest hesitation, he strode onto the private plane bound for Haicheng.

In the evening, Huo Shenyuan's birthday party was held in the Crystal Ballroom on the top floor of the Fanxing Hotel.

The rooftop garden is beautifully decorated, and there is also a shimmering swimming pool.

This banquet hall is never open to the public. Every face standing here is a friend of Mr. Huo from the entertainment circle and a close business partner.

Just after eight o'clock, amidst the elegant attire and swaying hair, handsome men and beautiful women held wine glasses and chatted quietly.

On the grand stage not far away, birthday gifts for Young Master Huo had already piled up into a small mountain.

When Sheng Weiwei, Gu Xingnian, and Li Qingning appeared, the noise at the doorway momentarily froze.

Li Qingning looked like a princess from a fairy tale, wearing a well-fitting blue off-shoulder dress that accentuated her already curvaceous figure.

Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian appeared much more casual, yet they were still dazzling.

Gu Xingnian was already stunningly beautiful, while Sheng Weiwei's natural beauty made her a walking clothes hanger.

They simply stood there quietly, and they were a vivid and expensive painting.

Whispers immediately broke out among the crowd.

"That's N God, my God, he's alive."

"She's now the president's wife of the Fu Group, the most prestigious woman in Haicheng, right?"

"She is a million times more beautiful in person than in photos; her aloofness is absolutely stunning."

"That Miss Sheng next to me is also super beautiful. I heard she broke off her engagement with the Gu family. Do you think she might have a chance with Young Master Huo? Young Master Huo has been going to the Sheng family a lot lately."

The crowd whispered among themselves when Huo Shenyuan finally arrived.

He wore a well-tailored bespoke black suit, his posture was upright, his shoulders were broad and his legs were long, and every step he took exuded the calm and composed aura of a person in a superior position.

His handsome face was almost perfect under the lights, but his deep eyes seemed even colder than the night.

The woman he was arm in arm with was wearing a plain white dress. She had an unfamiliar face, a pure and innocent appearance, clean eyebrows and eyes, and a touch of college student naiveté.

At this moment, she looked up slightly at Huo Shenyuan, her eyes sparkling with undisguised admiration and pride.

The guests immediately crowded around, and the scene instantly became lively.

Huo Shenyuan's thin lips curved into a polite smile.

"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party."

His gaze fell on the woman beside him, and his voice softened slightly, "This is my girlfriend, Miss Xia Nan."

Wow!

"Huo's girlfriend is so pretty."

"Congratulations, Young Master Huo."

Compliments came from all around.

Li Qingning stood there, watching the two people surrounded by lights, looking like a perfect couple.

The light in her eyes dimmed little by little.

He...has a girlfriend?

She's still so beautiful, such a perfect match for me.

"What the heck, girlfriend?"

Sheng Weiwei was about to explode on the spot, raising her voice several decibels.

"Then what about Qingning?"

She pushed through the crowd to confront them, but Gu Xingnian grabbed her wrist.

"Weiwei." Gu Xingnian's voice was soft, but carried an undeniable calmness, "Today is Young Master Huo's day, so don't cause trouble."

She turned to Li Qingning, whose face was pale, and softened her voice.

"Shall we go over there and get something to eat?"

The three of them walked through the crowd and headed towards the dimly lit dining area.

Li Qingning tried her best to appear nonchalant, her eyes fixed on the colorful delicacies.

Soon he picked out a plate of exquisite pastries and began to eat them heartily.

Gu Xingnian looked at her, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Don't eat too many sweets, or you'll get a stomachache tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep, gentle male voice sounded from the side.

"Nian Nian".

It was Fu Beichen. Today he was dressed casually, but that did not diminish his noble air in the slightest.

Gu Xingnian looked at him, then got up and walked towards the small garden on the other side.

Fu Beichen quickly followed, his deep eyes filled with undisguised joy.

The two arrived at a relatively quiet corner of the terrace. Gu Xingnian turned around and questioned him with a cold face.

"What's wrong with Huo Shenyuan? He even brought a girlfriend here in public. Doesn't he know that Qing Ning likes him?"

Fu Beichen's expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"He was never a good person to begin with."

"He changes girlfriends every three months, so Qingning won't have a future with him."

Fortunately, he was very generous to each of his girlfriends, providing them with cars, houses, and generous breakup fees, and there were never any romantic entanglements.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingnian raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, "You're no better than me."

"What do you mean by announcing that we're not divorced? We've already signed an agreement."

Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen's lips curled up in a smug smile.

"It has been signed."

"Later, I had my lawyer add the property rights of Yuyuan and YunMALL to the supplementary agreement. Property division was too troublesome, so I tore it up."

Gu Xingnian was taken aback, then her expression turned even colder.

"Fu Beichen, stop doing those pointless, wasteful things."

He laughed, though the smile didn't reach his eyes. With a swift movement, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Niannian, that's my feeling for you."

He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

"Do you like it? Isn't it romantic? Aren't you even a little bit touched?"

She pushed him hard, but couldn't budge him at all, and could only coldly utter two words.

"childish."

He gave a charming yet dangerous smile. "Come on, let me see just how tough your mouth really is."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her.

A warm touch came over her lips, carrying his refreshing woody scent, which invaded her domineeringly.

“Fu…” Gu Xingnian’s mind went blank for a moment.

This man, in a place like this, actually...

Gu Xingnian couldn't move at all; her small hands were already clamped down by his large hands.

His kiss was forceful and irresistible, wantonly stealing the fragrance from her mouth.

He absolutely loved her sweet taste.

Passing guests who saw this scene were so frightened that they quickly backed away.

Fu, the richest man, is at it again, showing off his love...
