After marrying him, everyone in our circle constantly spread rumors that I, Song Xingyao, was just a replacement. Yet, I had never even heard the name of the person I was supposedly replacing.
<...Seeing his unreliable behavior, Pei Jing first introduced him to Song Xingyao: "This is Luni, Lu Fan."
"Luni, this is Madam. Master Fu said he's taking her to a banquet tonight and will come pick her up in a bit."
"Madam?! Ah Ming got married? I'm so heartbroken, why didn't you tell me?" The long-haired man clutched his chest with a wronged expression, his exaggerated movements suggesting he was about to collapse onto Pei Jing and cry.
Pei Jing sighed and dodged to the side.
"Were you serious about taking half a step back, Jing?"
The long-haired man quickly composed himself, snapped his fingers to summon two assistants, and ordered, "Take her to the dressing room."
When Fu Siming arrived at Yimei, he heard Lu Fan's sharp voice coming from inside: "What are you showing off? A good figure is meant to be shown off. Put your hands down!"
The waiter entered the dressing room and told Lu Fan that Fu Siming had arrived. Lu Fan immediately tried to pull Song Xingyao out, but Song Xingyao was timidly pushed out.
Fu Siming looked up at the woman in front of him. Her features were covered with exquisite makeup, her skin was as white as jade, and a hint of timidity in her eyes added to her elegance. Her pale pink lips were glossy.
A light purple, form-fitting long dress accentuated her perfect figure, while the back straps added a touch of mystery, making her skin appear and disappear like a ripe fruit tempting one to pick it.
Lu Fan saw Fu Siming's eyes and knew he was satisfied. She then whispered in his ear, "I had a lot of trouble covering up those marks on her neck."
Fu Siming ignored him, walked towards her, and stood behind her, feeling a cold touch.
The man's hot breath and icy fingers behind her made Song Xingyao shiver involuntarily.
"Ah Ming, we're truly on the same wavelength. You even brought the Purple Bright Collection. Together, they look absolutely stunning." Lu Fan was very satisfied with his creation.
Fu Siming responded, "Yes, it's beautiful."
Those were the kind of words that captivated the soul. Song Xingyao looked in the mirror and saw Fu Siming staring at her in a daze.
