He desperately wanted to know her secret, but he couldn't let her know his own. So, "Yingying, can we please respect each other's privacy?"

Xingchu's matter is a pain he can never escape for the rest of his life; let this memory remain forever sealed in his mind.

"Oh." She understood. Her secret couldn't buy his privacy, so she would respect his choice. "Then forget it."

With a forced smile, Ji Yan, can I wait until the day you're willing to be honest with me?

"Drink up." The man patted her head. "If you're not feeling well, just rest at home. I can go to the banquet tonight by myself."

Ji Fuying tilted her head and gazed at him. "Is it alright if you don't have a female companion at the wedding banquet of the president's son of Country A?"

Does he want to bring another woman with him?

"No one would dare say anything if I went by myself."

"But I still want to go." This should be the first time she can openly appear by his side, how could she miss it?

"Okay, then I'll have someone come over to do your makeup and hair."

Ji Fuying finished the rest of the soup and grabbed the egg from the bowl as well. For some reason, she always felt particularly hungry when she had her period.

Ji Yan chuckled lightly, then turned to make a phone call to instruct someone to come to his door.

Around 6 PM.

The grand hall was brightly lit, filled with the clinking of glasses, and groups of handsome men and beautiful women chatted and greeted each other.

As president, Di Qing sat comfortably in the VIP area; given his status, it was impossible for him to personally greet the guests.

Instead, his son, Di Minghao, and daughter-in-law, Mu Rao, stood at the door to greet the guests.

The groom, Di Minghao, was quite handsome and had a gentle and refined demeanor. The bride, Mu Rao, was the daughter of Mu Jiuhua, the president of Hengfa Group. The two were a perfect match in terms of both status and appearance.

Their intertwined fingers and tender expressions clearly show that their relationship is very good.

When Ji Yan and Ji Fuying arrived, most of the other guests had already arrived.

The moment the two figures appeared at the door, it caused a huge uproar.

The man wore a well-tailored light gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and lean waist, and his cold and arrogant face was completely expressionless.

The woman wore a light purple fitted evening gown that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Several natural pearls of the same color adorned her hair, and a purple diamond pendant on her chest emitted a soft glow.

Upon hearing the noise, Di Qing, who was sitting in the VIP area, looked up and immediately got up and walked towards the door. This was his most important guest today.

"Mr. Ji, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's wedding banquet. Please come in."

The aloof president surprisingly greeted the man with a hint of ingratiation and led him to the head table.

This scene stunned almost everyone present. Of course, the real bigwigs and decapitated ones showed no surprise, as if they were used to it.

"Who is that? Who could possibly have our President personally greet him?"

"That aura that keeps strangers at bay is already quite obvious."

"So he is the legendary Divine Child Ji Yan of Country Z?"

"No wonder he's at the top; even his female companions are exceptional. We can only be envious and jealous."

The men present were talking about Ji Yan's status and power, but the women's eyes were always on Ji Fuying.

"Who is that woman? How come President Ji brought her to the banquet?"

"Even I, a woman, would be attracted to that face, so it's normal for President Ji to be fascinated by it."

"I need to take a picture and ask my plastic surgeon if this is the face of my dreams."

Their discussion displeased the woman in the champagne-colored dress, who took a few steps closer with her wine glass in hand.

"Do you really need to praise her so much? She has such a beautiful face but is completely unknown. She seems to be just an ordinary woman."

Someone wanted to argue, but when they turned around and saw who it was, they were speechless.

“Miss Di is right. No woman in Country A can compare to you.”

This isn't flattery; it's simply that she has the ability to back it up.

With her stunning looks, status as the president's daughter, and high profile in the business world, she is truly a darling of the heavens.

Di Qianqian curled her lips into a smile and left with satisfaction. How could she let another woman steal her thunder in her presence?

She walked straight to the main table, where Ji Yan was, and sat down next to him without saying hello.

Her eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Ji Fuying on the other side. Hmph, she has a nice appearance, but her status is too low. She doesn't even care about her.

Di Qianqian's obvious intentions were seen by Di Qing, and of course he would grant his daughter's wish.

Moreover, if he could form a marriage alliance with the Ji family, his position as president would be secure, and he would no longer have to worry about stepping down.

"Mr. Ji, this is my daughter, Di Qianqian. Qianqian, why don't you say hello to Mr. Ji?"

Di Qianqian smiled and extended her right hand, "President Ji, I've heard so much about you. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

She was confident that, given time, she could easily win over Ji Yan and make him completely submit to her.

Unfortunately, Ji Yan only gave a faint "hmm" and then kept putting food on Ji Fuying's plate, saying, "This fish is good, you should try it."

"Okay." Ji Fuying obediently lowered her head to accept the man's feeding, but secretly glanced at Di Qianqian.

She might be angry that someone wanted to steal her man, but she wouldn't do anything about it. What could be taken away shouldn't be hers, so she wasn't worried at all.

Di Qianqian's face was extremely pale. Her hand was hanging in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward. She could only look to the person beside her for help.

Di Qing remained calm. He pressed down his daughter's hand while raising his glass to Ji Yan, "President Ji, I'd like to toast you again to thank you for coming."

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Ji Yan also raised his glass; he had to give the president some face.

After finishing their drinks, the two began to talk. Ji Fuying ate a lot, and she felt like her stomach was about to burst.

He whispered something to Ji Yan and then left the banquet, heading towards the garden. The weather had turned cold, and there weren't many flowers blooming in the garden.

She walked along the pebbles to a rockery and stream, where many koi carp were swimming happily.

There was a bag of fish food by the fishpond. She grabbed a handful and sat down on the marble railing. "Fish, you have such good lives," she said.

A carefree life, free from worries about life and troubles about relationships, is a life that many people envy but can only dream of.

"Yes, some people live worse than a fish, it's really pitiful."

A sarcastic voice came from behind her. Ji Fuying frowned but did not turn around, though the voice continued to come.

"Qianqian, did you see that just now? Some people are starving, they've probably never had such a good feast before."
