"Aren't your legs sore? I'll carry you back." Fu Yunchen's deep voice rang out as he carried her straight ahead.
The crowd spontaneously made way for them, allowing them to leave without obstruction.
"My God, am I blind?! President Fu is actually interested in this kind of woman... Could this be the legendary mysterious little wife of President Fu?"
“Only those who are beautiful can be called charming. Someone as ugly as her can only be called an eyesore! No wonder Madam Fu has always hidden the appearance of the twins’ birth mother.”
"The rumors were true!"
"What rumor?"
"It's just that President Fu has a unique taste; he especially likes ugly women, and they have to be exceptionally ugly, so ugly it's horrific, so ugly it's earth-shattering..."
Although they thought they were talking very quietly, Yi Tianran heard everything clearly.
At first, she just wanted to hear Fu Yunchen's jokes, but after hearing them say one ugly thing after another, she couldn't help but feel speechless.
Is it really that ugly?
She just didn't want to attract attention, so this time she dressed up a bit more "uniquely," adding some freckles to her face and not even having buck teeth!
Apart from Fu Yunchen, it seems that everyone else dislikes her.
Sigh, this world that judges people by their looks is hopeless!
She originally wanted Fu Yunchen to put her down, but from this angle, she could just see the handsome profile of his face.
He was so handsome that she couldn't bear to look away.
Since she had already lost face, she simply began to recklessly admire the beauty of the world.
Honestly, who doesn't like someone who's incredibly handsome? Even she's no exception!
Now that it's been delivered to her, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, she reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, lifted herself up, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"This is Mr. Fu's reward for carrying me out."
Fu Yunchen: "..."
Yi Tianran smiled sweetly and licked her lips, when she suddenly felt a cold and gloomy gaze, like that of a venomous snake, coming towards her.
Yi Tianran was all too familiar with the malice of others she had experienced since childhood.
She turned around almost instinctively, only to see a figure wearing a mask brush past her.
The person was wrapped in a thick layer of clothing that almost completely covered their body. They wore a hat and a mask that covered most of their face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes visible.
Yi Tianran instinctively felt that the gaze she had just received came from the other person.
Moreover, she felt that she had seen those malicious eyes somewhere before.
I wanted to see him more clearly, but he lowered his eyes and disappeared into the night in an instant.
"Was that person... also someone invited to the banquet?" Yi Tianran asked suspiciously.
Fu Yunchen nodded slightly: "Those who can enter this banquet are either rich or noble."
"You care a lot?" Fu Yunchen usually wouldn't pay attention to people who weren't important.
Yi Tianran shook her head: "It's nothing." Perhaps it was just her imagination!
How could I possibly run into my enemies while disguised on a trip out like this!
...
In the distance, the person wearing a mask ran dozens of meters until they turned into an empty alley. Then they leaned against a wall, clutched their chest, and tried to calm their wildly beating heart.
The phone in my bag kept vibrating.
After a long while, the person calmed down, picked up their phone, and answered the call—
"Lu Xuanyi! Where on earth have you gone? I went to the place where you work in China but couldn't find you. I checked your visa but couldn't find your whereabouts either. How long are you going to be so willful?"
Lu Xuanyi took off her mask, her expression uncertain. "Mom, is there anything else? I'm busy. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"What are you so busy with? You are the daughter of the Lu family. I didn't agree to you going to that entertainment company to be an agent in the first place, but I thought it was your interest so I indulged you. But look what you've done, you've been doing it for seven or eight years. Do you even care about this family anymore?" Lu's mother said angrily.
"I've already resigned," Lu Xuanyi said calmly.
"Really?" Mrs. Lu was overjoyed. "You've finally come to your senses. If that's the case, come back quickly. As the daughter of the Lu family, what kind of man can't you have? Why bother..."
Before the person on the other end of the phone could finish speaking, Lu Xuanyi said coldly, "I won't be interested in any man other than Fu Yunchen."
"But you've given so much for him all these years, have you received anything in return?" Lu's mother was furious, but more than that, she was helpless. "Xuanyi, face reality! Even the Lu family can't reach that person's status. Stop daydreaming."
"Why!" These words pierced Lu Xuanyi's heart. Thinking of the scene she witnessed at the banquet that day, watching helplessly as Fu Yunchen carried that ugly woman away in a princess carry, she was consumed by jealousy.
If even someone like that can win Fu Yunchen's favor, why can't she?
It must have been Fu Yunchen's personal assistant who whispered in his ear, making him deliberately ignore her and not give her the slightest bit of kindness.
She was unwilling to accept it!
Resigning doesn't mean admitting defeat; it just means she clearly understands that such quiet dedication won't win Fu Yunchen's heart.
But it doesn't matter, she still has the identity of the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and she has other plans!
She can always use her status to drive away those shameless sluts, and then she will be able to successfully rise to power.
Knowing she couldn't persuade her, Mrs. Lu could only back down, saying, "When are you coming back? You haven't shown your face for years, and people outside don't know what the eldest daughter of the Lu family really looks like. Whatever it is, come back first!"
Lu Xuanyi: "I will."
...
At the hotel.
After taking a shower, Yi Tianran came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and drying her wet hair with a towel, just as she received a call from Geng Geng and the others.
She leaped onto the bed, opened the holographic video, and the little furball exclaimed first, "Mommy, I've found out everything about the Geese Association that you asked me to investigate. Just as you guessed, you're absolutely a prophet, like a reincarnation of a fortune teller!"
Geng Geng added, "The engagement between Kasha and Daniel was also jointly arranged by the elders of the two families, probably to expand their respective strengths."
Huaihuai tilted her head curiously: "Mommy, why do you need to look this up?"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Yi Tianran smiled gently. "Making friends is the same."
Just then, a figure approached and placed a hand on her head.
"Hmm?" Yi Tianran turned around in confusion and saw Fu Yunchen take the towel from her head, then reach out and rub the towel with both hands to wipe the water stains off her hair.
The man's movements were not very skillful, but they were very gentle, as if he were treating her like a fragile porcelain doll, afraid of hurting her.
Yi Tianran felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and teased softly, "Mr. Fu's service is so thoughtful! I didn't know you could be so attentive to people!"
Fu Yunchen massaged her for a while, then looked down at her meaningfully and said, "I have even more thoughtful services, would you like to try them?"
