In an instant, I crossed my legs, tilted my head, and stared at Muye, who was only 21 years old but had a mature demeanor.
I curled the corners of my lips into a nonchalant smile. "That's all in the past."
Makino's beautiful peach blossom eyes gazed at me, gradually filling with joy. He curled his lips into a knowing smile.
At the entrance of the villa, Muye's parents had already lit a brazier and prepared pomelo water for him to step over to ward off bad luck.
Makino's mental fortitude meant I didn't need to offer him much comfort. After dinner, he took his beloved guitar and went to the attic to be alone.
I invited Luo Luo to a nightclub to drink and let loose, hoping to shake off the gloom of the past few days.
Fu Yanshen hasn't been back to the company to work, probably to rest and recover from his injury. I feel like a fish in water and completely free while he's not at the company.
"Director Zhou, I'm so sorry, Mu Ye's schedule is booked until February next year, he really doesn't have the time. How about this, for your sake, I'll squeeze him in as a guest for two episodes later?"
I was on the phone in my office when my assistant, Mengmeng, knocked on the door and came in.
"President Qiao, two flights aren't enough. Let's arrange for Mu Ye to be stationed there permanently. We'll offer an eight-figure sum—"
The program director on the other end was still bothering me, so I frowned and moved the phone far away.
Mu Ye doesn't like participating in scripted variety shows, and he's not good at acting. He'd rather spend that time writing more songs, even though appearing on variety shows is a lucrative business.
It took me a while to convince the other party to compromise.
"Sister Qiao, you haven't returned VIVI's haute couture wedding dress yet. You told me before that I should borrow and return it myself," Mengmeng reminded me.
When one of my female artists was shooting a magazine cover, I used my connections to borrow a haute couture wedding dress from the VIVI brand. I had to return it in person to show my sincerity.
"Let's go now." I glanced at my watch; I happened to be free at the moment.
...
VIVI Bridal Shop is located on Wangfu Street, where land is extremely valuable. As soon as you enter the store, you can hear several beautiful female shop assistants gossiping in a corner.
"I heard that Miss Shi is Mr. Fu's white moonlight."
"They're looking at wedding dresses together, does that mean they're getting married soon?"
"Didn't Mr. Fu just recently hold an umbrella for Sheng Qiaoqiao in public? They haven't remarried, have they?"
Following their gaze, I saw two familiar figures.
The woman was Shi Jin, and the man, with his refined and aloof demeanor, was none other than Fu Yanshen, who hadn't bothered me for many days.
At that moment, he was looking in my direction, and Shi Jin, who was beside him, stood on tiptoe, intimately linked her arm with his, and whispered something in his ear, looking quite sweet.
Has Fu Yanshen finally come to his senses and decided to be with Shi Jin?
That's wonderful!
He's finally stopped bothering me!
Seeing their affectionate appearance, I felt secretly delighted. Suppressing my excitement, I picked up the wedding dress bag and went straight to find the dress consultant.
"Miss Sheng, what a coincidence!" Shi Jin greeted me loudly at that moment.
I stopped in my tracks, and saw her arm linked with Fu Yanshen's, the two of them walking towards me.
"Miss Shi, Mr. Fu, what a coincidence!" I raised the corners of my lips, smiled, and greeted them politely.
"Shen and I came to choose a wedding dress."
Just a few steps away, Shi Jin smiled, her lips curving into a happy arc, and as she spoke, two shy blushes rose on her cheeks.
Fu Yanshen still wore an indifferent and aloof expression, but his deep eyes were filled with a dark, swirling light, as if they held a hint of anticipation.
My eyes lit up, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously turned up. "Really? Congratulations! Childhood sweethearts, a perfect match, after all these years you've finally tied the knot. Congratulations!"
I got more and more excited as I spoke, my voice rising, which attracted the attention of the beautiful women. I couldn't wait to call Luo Luo and go out for drinks to celebrate.
As I spoke, I felt Fu Yanshen's aura growing colder and colder. In a glance, I saw that the man's face was ashen, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his cold, sharp gaze was like an arrow shooting at me.
"Miss Sheng, thank you for your blessing." Shi Jin said to me with a gentle smile.
"You're welcome, Miss Shi. You're a perfect match for President Fu. I wish you both a long and happy life together! I have other things to attend to, so I'll have to go now!" I said sincerely to Shi Jin.
"Cough—cough—"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Fu Yanshen cover his mouth with his fist and cough twice.
My gaze swept across the room indifferently, and I inadvertently met his deep, resentful eyes, which seemed to be filled with a variety of emotions.
The man clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Neuropathy.
I couldn't be bothered to guess what he was thinking, so I strode away.
The owner of the wedding dress shop is my older cousin, the daughter of my aunt in the Sheng family.
Gu Wei.
“I remember you used to complain that Fu Yanshen was too busy to accompany you to choose a wedding dress… This whole thing feels like something from a past life.” Gu Wei took a sip of red tea and complained to me with a smile.
"That must have happened in my past life. I have no recollection of it at all." I shrugged and smiled calmly.
"I heard that my grandfather is trying to win over his grandson Fu Yanshen, hoping to get him to acknowledge his ancestry. But Fu Yanshen is so arrogant. My grandfather has visited him three times, but he still hasn't met him."
"I really don't know what his background is. Even my grandfather didn't dare to stop him from taking revenge back then."
The "maternal grandfather" that Gu Wei mentioned refers to the patriarch of the Sheng family, Fu Yanshen's biological grandfather.
I had no interest in the gossip she was talking about. After politely thanking her a few times, I said goodbye and left.
Just as I left the wedding dress shop, I received a call from my cousin-in-law, Pei Youyou, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time.
"Qiaoqiao, are you in Beijing right now?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, what's wrong?" I asked with concern.
