Chapter 27 The Fake Heiress's Escape from Marriage: 27 Plain Circles

The restaurant where Yun Chiyi and Gong Mufeng previously held their wedding banquet once again hosted a grand feast. The host of this banquet was a rising star in the business world surnamed Lin.

Despite being a newly rich individual, a closer look at his businesses reveals that they have been established for many years.

This was probably premeditated, all for this one show today.

The past few months have been a turbulent time, and people are quite sensitive about this surname. After receiving the invitation, it was inevitable that some people would raise questions and make comments.

Upon closer inspection of the inviter, the name Lin Jishen was prominently displayed.

Naturally, everyone connected the downfall of the Gong family to him, and they felt they had to join in the excitement.

Yun Chiyi had nothing to do lately, so she got an invitation from Lin Jishen to revisit the place.

The invitation she received also included a rose gold swallowtail brooch, which was exquisitely crafted and unlike anything else's.

The dress tonight was chosen by Lin Jishen. Ever since he dirtied her dress that night, he has always wanted to send Yun Chiyi a beautiful long dress. Yun Chiyi has long been used to it.

Yun Chiyi looks good in any color, but purple is particularly vibrant and charming.

She walked closely among the thousands of wine glasses, like a dazzling sunset weaving through the crowd, circling back and forth several times and drinking quite a bit of wine.

Several people recognized her face and suddenly remembered that she had once been Gong Mufeng's fiancée. However, Gong Mufeng canceled the wedding because he didn't like her. Later, when he heard that she wasn't the real daughter of the Yun family, he looked down on her even more.

Yun Chiyi never knew that the rumors outside could go so far.

At this moment, she was surrounded by several pretty girls. Yun Chiyi could tell from their contemptuous looks that they had ill intentions.

Before she could speak, the group moved even closer.

"Why is your brooch different from everyone else's?"

"Did you also have an invitation?"

"But there's no need for an unknown person to come to this kind of occasion, after all, you're not a daughter of the Yun family anymore."

Yun Chiyi put down her wine glass. She was a little drunk, her cheeks flushed, and she casually crossed her arms: "Who said I have no status? I am the host's fiancée."

Since Lin Jishen isn't here, she can say whatever she wants.

The girls laughed as soon as they heard that.

"This isn't Gong Mufeng's banquet. You don't still think of yourself as his fiancée, do you?"

Zhou Ciyi raised her hand: "If only I hadn't forgotten to wear my engagement ring today..."

Before she could finish speaking, a cold object slipped onto her fingertips, and a familiar sense of oppression enveloped her from behind. Yun Chiyi turned her head, the pearl pendant on her earlobe swaying gently. Lin Jishen's indifferent face silently approached, pressing against her cheek, and he smelled the sweet scent of alcohol emanating from her.

Lin Jishen grasped her frozen fingertips and gently stroked the gleaming plain band: "Xiaoyi, how did you leave the ring at home?"

Upon hearing this cheesy address, Yun Chiyi couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

But why did Lin Jishen put the ring on her finger?

She noticed that Lin Jishen was wearing a suit in the same color scheme tonight, with a rose gold brooch on his chest.

After not seeing him for a few days, he started having more and more thoughts.

"Excuse me, I have something to say to her. Please excuse me."

He took Yun Chiyi's hand and led her to a quiet corner.

Several girls glanced in their direction, making no attempt to hide their surprise.

"I can't tell whether it's more outrageous to see Lin Jishen or for her to become his fiancée."

"Could it be that the two of them colluded to bring down the Gong family?"

"I don't care whose house collapses, as long as it's not mine."

Everyone was watching with a spectator's mentality; as long as the fire didn't affect them, they only needed to remain on the sidelines.

Yun Chiyi tilted her head and exaggeratedly flipped her palm over: "Wow, I actually left my engagement ring with you."

Lin Jishen calmly replied, "Didn't you say first that you were my fiancée?"

Yun Chiyi snorted lightly: "I didn't know you were the host."

Lin Jishen: "Who would believe what you're saying?"

Yun Chiyi curled her fingers and examined the plain ring carefully: "You know I'm very materialistic, why don't you give me something more valuable?"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Jishen's eyes, and he said calmly, "I'm afraid you'll run off with the money."

Yun Chiyi slowly approached him: "I don't have that ability, but I don't have that idea for the time being."

She hooked Lin Jishen's little finger with her slender, jade-like fingers, flipped it over, and intertwined their fingers. Lin Jishen sensed something was amiss and took a few steps back.

Yun Chiyi took another step closer: "Why did you suddenly propose to me?"

Lin Jishen lowered his eyes and stared intently into her cunning eyes, which looked hazy and alluring because of the alcohol.

"You know too many of my secrets. The best way to keep the secret box safe is to keep it close at hand."

Yun Chiyi nodded: "That makes a lot of sense."

However, she lowered her head and kissed Lin Jishen's hand. The next second, feeling the veins on his hand throbbing rapidly, she looked up and laughed: "But don't you really think the answer is that you like me?"

Lin Jishen curled his lips slightly but did not answer.

Yun Chiyi kissed his knuckles again, and everyone around saw it, but no one knew she was such a bold person.

When Lin Jishen's hands were covered with four or five lip prints, Yun Chiyi patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Don't wipe them off, or I won't talk to you anymore."

Her flamboyant actions made even the system blush for her.

[Host, do you realize you've had too much to drink?]

Yun Chiyi covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, her eyes filled with moisture.

She said she was tired and it wasn't fun here, so she was going to take a nap in the car and asked Lin Jishen to come find her after the event.

Lin Jishen watched her walk out, lifting her skirt, and she even raised her hand to greet the others along the way.

She looked quite adorable when she was dizzy and drunk.

Lin Jishen glanced down and saw the lip print on the back of his hand. He casually picked up his wine glass and chatted with others.

Those present were unsure of his attitude towards Yun Chiyi, seeing that he didn't seem to care about her whereabouts. Was he indulging her or simply not taking her seriously?

Yun Chiyi walked to the car and vaguely saw the shadow of a familiar person in the car window. She turned around alertly and sure enough, she saw Gong Mufeng's face.

He just grew his hair long and his beard grew out, and his eyes were no longer as dull as they had been during that time.

Yun Chiyi's eyes turned slightly cold: "Everyone thought you had disappeared."

Gong Mufeng lit a cigarette and looked at the wedding banquet they were holding: "It's going to disappear."

He said, "I've assembled a racing team overseas."

During this period of time, he seemed to have completely severed ties with the Gong family, going abroad to form a team to participate in mountain biking competitions, and several times his life was on the line. He enjoyed this kind of life.

Gong Mufeng raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Forget it, you're not interested in these things. What you should want to know is my opinion on my dad going to jail. There's nothing to say. We're father and son. I'll come back to see him when I have time, and if I don't, that's fine."

Yun Chiyi asked the driver to roll down the window and watched them talk. Leaning against the car door, she asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

Gong Mufeng: "Just passing by, thought I'd take a look. This is really interesting."

He really did leave, and Yun Chiyi didn't take him seriously.

It was hot, and Yun Chiyi couldn't sleep well in the car, so she had the driver take Lin Jishen's car home.

It's called a home, but it's actually Lin Jishen's house.

She lives here now, and she doesn't need to tell him when she goes out.

When Lin Jishen got busy, the two of them seemed like strangers. However, the system repeatedly reminded Yun Chiyi that Lin Jishen's favorability rating had reached 99. With just a little more effort, they could leave this world and win the game.

Lin Jishen's favorability rating has been stuck at 99 for several months. Yun Chiyi initially tried to be gentler with him, but she didn't see any change.

Yun Chiyi felt a bit tired of the strategy, so she simply lay down and let things take their course.

However, the system is always in a hurry.

[Host, keep going! I've never been so close to success.]

You're too eager for quick success, that's not good, you need to change that.

The system was getting anxious and buried itself in various strategy guides and plans.

Yun Chiyi, drunk, fell asleep on the bed.

It was very late when Lin Jishen returned. He saw her hugging the blankets like a domineering cat, still wearing her dress, her snow-white back resembling a pure white jasmine flower.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't drunk any alcohol that night that he could see so clearly now.

After he took a shower and changed into his home clothes, Yun Chiyi was still fast asleep when he came out of the bathroom.

Lin Jishen's hair was still wet when he walked into Yun Chiyi's room and woke her up: "Drink some water."

Yun Chiyi suddenly woke up, blinked quickly and saw Lin Jishen's cold and stern face: "I won't drink."

She suddenly remembered: "Oh right, I saw Gong Mufeng tonight, he had a fashionable hairstyle."

Lin Jishen felt a chill run down his spine. Yun Chiyi touched the back of his hand: "He's going abroad."

In any case, we need to find someone to keep a close eye on his movements.

Lin Jishen: "At least change your clothes before you go to sleep."

Yun Chiyi rubbed her sleepy eyes and was about to turn back: "I want to drink water."

Lin Jishen grabbed her wrist: "Get up and change your clothes."

Yun Chiyi, fighting off sleepiness, squinted and smiled: "Can't you be a little gentler? Is this how you treat your fiancée?"

What she didn't know was that this statement was now very effective.

Lin Jishen patted her head and said in a low voice, "I'll go get some water. Change into your pajamas before I get back, okay?"

Yun Chiyi simply agreed, and after he left, she covered herself with the blanket and went back to sleep.

Lin Jishen tested the water temperature and returned with the cup, his face darkening – she had fallen asleep again.

He shook her awake, and she said matter-of-factly, "Oh, why don't you just change it for me?"

A moment of silence fell over the air.

Yun Chiyi snapped out of her daze, her eyes sparkling as she tugged at Lin Jishen's sleeve and sat up. She had a pair of very beautiful eyes that were captivating and undisguised.

"What's wrong? Are you shy?"

Lin Jishen slowly placed the water glass on the bedside table, his large hand stroking her back. Yun Chiyi looked up and met his frighteningly calm eyes, realizing that going too far would only provoke him.

His palms were very warm. Yun Chiyi straightened up and pushed him away instantly: "I can do it myself."

Lin Jishen, having succeeded, became much more arrogant: "How could I let you do it yourself, my dear fiancée?"

Yun Chiyi stared at him with wide eyes, while he seemed to have been awakened to an unknown trick, his fingertips tracing her face and carrying away her messy strands of hair.

He stared at her fair cheeks, his Adam's apple bobbing, while Yun Chiyi just stared blankly at him.

Until, her moist lips touched mine.

She sobered up considerably, and by midnight she had sweated out most of the alcohol.

The next day, at daybreak, Yun Chiyi received a call from Wen Yanyan.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, "Hello, Yan Yan, good morning."

Wen Yanyan told her that she was going to study abroad. Yun Chiyi still owed her something, so in the years she was away, Yun Chiyi had to help Yun Jingui manage the company.

Yun Chiyi: "Do I look like the kind of person who works very hard?"

Wen Yan Yan said firmly, "I don't care."

Yun Chiyi chuckled: "You still believe me? Are you that bold? Aren't you afraid I'll pull some tricks in the company?"

Wen Yanyan raised her voice in rebuttal: "Grandma will be watching you. And if you play tricks on me again, I will never forgive you. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will find you and I will not let you off easily."

Yun Chiyi compromised: "Stop talking, it's so cheesy. I'll give it a try. By the way, where are you planning to study?"

During lunch, Yun Chiyi asked Lin Jishen to find out Gong Mufeng's activity route so that Wen Yanyan wouldn't run into him.

In the afternoon, the two went to see Wen Yan Yan off at the airport, and Yun Chi Yi went to the company to study after getting off the car.

She took a nap and was scolded by Yun Jingui until she couldn't make a sound.

The next day, she cheered up and cooperated well with the work.

After working in the workplace for three years, she was in great pain every day. As soon as she got off work, she would run into Lin Jishen's arms and cry, complaining that she had too many things to do and couldn't handle them all.

Lin Jishen always tried to comfort her, but she would pinch his cheek and say that it was easy for him to talk when he was not in her shoes.

Some people are just not suited to working for others!

The system watched the two love each other without suspicion, but secretly worried about their affection level.

Finally, on the day Wen Yanyan returned, her favorability rating, which was stuck at 99, was activated.
