Chapter 283 They were all by her side

Upon hearing what Mia said, Jiang Ranxing immediately turned around and met a face that also wore a gentle smile.

"Burning Star, it's been a long time," Wen Qingrang said.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Ranxing nodded at him: "It seems like it's been a long time."

She's been staying at the Jiang family's house lately, and she hasn't seen Wen Qingrang or anyone else much.

Wen Qingrang looked exactly the same as she remembered; nothing had changed. He was still the gentlest person she remembered.

Wen Qing greeted Mia and then sat up straight. None of the three looked towards the door again, so naturally no one paid attention to Fu Shenyuan.

In the distance, Fu Shenyuan had been searching for Jiang Ranxing ever since he walked in.

When he found him, Wen Qingrang had already sat down next to Jiang Ranxing before him, and his gaze instantly turned gloomy.

She was too late; another man got there first.

"Mr. Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if you remember me? I had the pleasure of greeting you last time. How about we have dinner together today?"

"Hey? I was here first, brother. I still have some business to ask President Fu. Please let me have this opportunity today."

"Stop arguing, I'll go first—"

“Alright everyone,” Fu Shenyuan interrupted them, “Today is a joyous occasion for the Fu family. You should all go and share in the celebration. We can discuss business later.”

After saying that, Fu Shenyuan raised his hand and called Tan Shen over, who immediately cleared a path for him.

Everyone wanted to chat with Fu Shenyuan for a while, but they were all stopped. It was clear that the Crown Prince was not in the mood to pay attention to them today, so they had no choice but to give up.

Fu Shenyuan ignored everyone and went straight to where Jiang Ranxing and Wen Qingrang were sitting.

Upon reaching the vicinity, Fu Shenyuan looked at Mia and said, "Miss, my wife and I have something to discuss. Would it be alright if we moved to another seat?"

Mia was never in a good mood when she saw him, and she was even more unwilling to switch places with him.

"No, Sister Ranxing and I came together, so of course we have to sit together."

Fu Shenyuan rarely gets rejected so directly, especially in front of so many people. Mia was clearly showing him no respect whatsoever.

Fu Shenyuan wasn't annoyed. He walked to the other side and sat down next to Wen Qingrang.

The sight of these two sitting together gave Jiang Ranxing a headache.

She whispered to Wen Qingrang, "How about we switch seats?"

Wen Qingrang chuckled: "It'll be the same no matter what, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Ranxing nodded silently. When she looked at Fu Shenyuan, she met his gaze. There seemed to be a thousand emotions in his eyes, but she didn't want to understand them at all.

Wen Qingrang started chatting with Jiang Ranxing and Mia, which effectively sidelined Fu Shenyuan.

Even though Fu Shenyuan was dissatisfied, he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Anyone with eyes can see what's going on; no one dares to come near this area at all.

As Fu Shenyuan watched them chatting together, especially the gentle way Jiang Ranxing spoke to Wen Qingrang, with occasional smiles, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

These gentle smiles should have belonged to him; when did they become Wen Qingrang's?

Fu Shenyuan clenched his fists, trying hard to control himself from losing his composure in this situation, and also to avoid making Jiang Ranxing dislike him.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Qingrang was still filled with the hostile gaze of a lion whose territory has been taken from it.

In the blink of an eye, the wedding officially began, and the entire hall was brightly lit and exceptionally romantic.

The emcee was in charge of the wedding ceremony when Shen Rui appeared first. This was the first time Jiang Ranxing had seen this man.

When she saw the man's face, her first feeling was that he was no good person. She had always thought that the saying "the face reflects the heart" was very true.

All the lights focused on the entrance of the hall, and Fu Yuqi, dressed in a wedding gown, slowly walked into everyone's sight, exuding a beauty that was carefully adorned with elegance.

While others were observing the bride's eyebrows, Jiang Ranxing and Mia were looking at the style and cut of her wedding dress.

"Sister Ranxing, didn't you refuse to alter her wedding dress? Why is she still wearing a starry fabric wedding dress? Wait, this doesn't seem to be your design."

Mia looked at it more closely and whispered in surprise, "Which designer is so bold as to directly plagiarize my exclusive skills!"

As Fu Yuqi got closer, Jiang Ranxing carefully observed the details of the wedding dress, and then she let out a cold laugh.

"It's Lin Xuesha. I've seen this kind of tailoring before; it's a style that Lin Xuesha often uses."

Mia protested, "She's too audacious! She can't do it herself, so she copies others. How dare she call herself an original designer? She's a disgrace to originality!"

Jiang Ranxing smiled and said, "You and I know what kind of person she is. Let her be. However, you should have Manager Shen send her a lawyer's letter as a warning. If there is a next time, it won't be as simple as just a lawyer's letter."

"That's what I thought too. Sis, you're too kind. Someone like her could have been sued directly, and you just gave her a warning and that was it," Mia said indignantly.

"After all, it's a wedding, and there are too many things involved. To avoid trouble, let's leave it at that for now."

Mia nodded and said, "That's right. Getting involved with them will probably cause a lot of trouble. I'll go back and tell Manager Shen about this situation."

The entire wedding exuded luxury. After the ceremony, the guests went outdoors to attend the party. Looking at the weather outside, Jiang Ranxing and Mia clearly didn't want to go out, so they stayed indoors.

Wen Qingrang, standing beside her, asked, "If you don't want to go out, I'll take you back later."

“Great! It’s been so long since I’ve ridden in Qingrang’s car. How about we stop by our studio for a bit? We’ve designed some new menswear for the season, and they’re made to your measurements. Would you like to try them on?” Mia asked happily.

Wen Qingrang smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Don't be so polite, we're all family, right, Sister Ranxing?"

Jiang Ranxing's eyebrows curved into a smile, and he slowly nodded.

Their conversation reached Fu Shenyuan's ears, and upon hearing it, he could no longer sit still.

“Ranxing, Yiyi said she misses you a lot at home. Let me take you home to see your son,” Fu Shenyuan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ranxing's smile gradually disappeared from her face, and when facing Fu Shenyuan, she couldn't even muster any pleasant expression.

"I'll call Yiyi tonight. As for going back to the villa, I don't have time right now."

Jiang Ranxing's refusal couldn't have been clearer.

Fu Shenyuan subconsciously looked at Wen Qingrang. He attributed Jiang Ranxing's unwillingness to go home entirely to Wen Qingrang. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been so resolute.

"Shen Yuan, so you're here! I've been looking for you for so long. I thought you were at the party."

Just as the group was at an impasse, a soft, sweet female voice broke in.

Lin Xuesha walked over, took Fu Shenyuan's arm, and looked at them with a smile.
