Although Fu Yunchen used the word "question," his tone was very confident.
"I was just retaliating. If..." Yi Tianran looked at him, blinked, and casually pushed the lunchbox in front of her, "Mr. Fu ate the lunchbox that Miss Li brought, so I'll go apologize to her?"
Her admission did not enrage Fu Yunchen; instead, his tense expression relaxed, and if Yi Tianran looked closely, she would have noticed a fleeting hint of pleasure in his eyes.
Fu Yunchen glanced at the boxed lunch, then turned to his assistant Hao Ren and said, "Since Li Rumeng can't eat her boxed lunch, return this one to her."
Hao Ren, who had been looking down, was startled. He looked at Yi Tianran with a more knowing gaze and quickly replied, "Yes," before picking up his lunchbox and heading towards Li Rumeng's resting place.
At this moment, Li Rumeng was recovering from the previous incident. When she saw someone coming to see her, she didn't think much of it. However, when she saw that it was Fu Yunchen's assistant, she couldn't help but perk up. A look of joy spread from her heart to her face. Especially when she saw Hao Ren holding a boxed lunch, her smile widened even more. But she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Assistant Hao, what's this...?"
Hao Ren had been by Fu Yunchen's side for a long time and had experienced countless ups and downs, so he naturally saw through Li Rumeng's thoughts. He smiled to himself, but his face remained polite: "I heard that Miss Li hasn't eaten yet, so I specially brought this over for you." It's yours, so I'm returning it to you.
Upon hearing this, Li Rumeng could not hide her joy. She stepped forward and took the lunchbox from Hao Ren's hand before her assistant could, saying shyly, "Is this Brother Fu? He's so good to me."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Miss Li, you don't need to be so polite. This is yours anyway."
Li Rumeng happily accepted the gifts. To express her joy at Fu Yunchen's gesture, even though she still felt nauseous, she picked up her chopsticks and ate a bite of each dish. Then, she smiled and looked up, saying, "Brother Fu, how did you know I like these dishes? He knows me so well! Please thank Brother Fu for me. Oh, never mind, I'll just tell him myself."
Hao Ren said politely, "Miss Fu, you misunderstand. You should thank the logistics staff who provide meals for the crew, not our president."
Hearing this, Li Rumeng looked at him in confusion, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart: "Assistant Hao, what do you mean by that..."
"This boxed lunch was given to Miss Yi by the crew's catering department. Mr. Fu saw that you hadn't eaten yet, so he asked me to bring it to you. You still have filming to do, so you can't go hungry."
Hao Ren's words successfully changed Li Rumeng's expression, and she almost subconsciously wanted to rush to the trash can to vomit.
The food that the crew provided to Yi Tianran during their meal break was laced with something!
After finishing that boxed meal, I would have diarrhea until I was completely exhausted before it would stop. But as soon as I ate something else, I would have diarrhea again, sometimes even while eating!
And now, she actually ate a bite of every dish!
However, Li Rumeng had just stood up when she immediately forced herself to stand still. If she really went to vomit, Hao Ren would definitely find it strange. She certainly couldn't tell him that there was something wrong with the food, but if she couldn't answer why she went to vomit, it would inevitably cause Fu Yunchen to misunderstand.
He snatched Yi Tianran's food and gave it to her first. They'd finally gotten this far, she absolutely couldn't let it ruin it...
Thinking of this, she forced herself to endure the strange sensations in her body and said with a smile, "Assistant Hao, please thank Brother Fu for me."
"I think you should thank me..." Hao Ren watched Li Rumeng finish eating all the food and was about to leave when he heard Yi Tianran's voice coming from outside. He turned around and saw her with her arms crossed, leaning against the door, looking at him from the side.
The golden glow of the setting sun bathed her body, as if coating her fair face with a layer of light, making one involuntarily yearn for her.
Li Rumeng's expression suddenly changed, partly because of Yi Tianran's arrival, and partly because the medicine seemed to be taking effect...
"Miss Li, is the food delicious?" Yi Tianran asked with a smile. "I haven't even taken a bite yet. Fu Yunchen heard that you hadn't eaten, so he had someone send some over."
Li Rumeng tensed up instinctively: "That's because Brother Fu cares about me. What, are you jealous?"
Yi Tianran could easily see that something was wrong with her, but she had no intention of giving in to her wishes. She chuckled and said, "Jealous? I think you should be jealous of me. After all, he and I are not strangers. Whatever he wants to do, I will naturally support him."
"Gurgle..." Li Rumeng felt her stomach begin to churn, and involuntarily clenched her thighs, but her face grew increasingly pale. "Ridiculous! You? Of unknown origin and of lowly status, you still have the nerve to say you're not an outsider with Brother Fu? Let me tell you, no matter what means you use to get close to Brother Fu, don't even dream of becoming Brother Fu's woman!"
Yi Tianran felt a pang of regret. She had originally intended to say a few words and then ask Li Rumeng to go to the restroom, but she hadn't expected Li Rumeng to argue with her. It seemed that the medicine in the boxed lunch wasn't very effective after all.
Thinking this to herself, Yi Tianran was even more determined not to let him off the hook, so she slowly said, "Oh? Someone like you can have such fantasies, so why can't I? Besides, I'm better than you in both looks and brains. If he likes me, why would he like you?"
Li Rumeng said angrily, "You really like to flatter yourself. I'm not afraid to tell you, Brother Fu has already fallen for someone else!"
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"Yes! That woman, she's stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous, and elegant, intelligent, and knowledgeable—a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you." Li Rumeng's mind was in complete chaos from the voice inside her stomach, and she could only try to use the words she knew to describe her.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran frowned. Li Rumeng's words sounded so true. Could it be that Fu Yunchen really did find a stepmother for Geng Geng and Huai Huai during the years she was away?
That damned scoundrel! He deserved to have his chastity arch erected for nothing!
Yi Tianran turned to the side and asked, "Described as being unparalleled in heaven and earth, have you actually seen that woman?"
Seeing that Yi Tianran was already unhappy, Li Rumeng was in a great mood and said without any politeness, "Although I have never met her, I know her."
"Who is that person?" Yi Tianran couldn't help but ask.
“She is…” Li Rumeng glared fiercely at Yi Tianran and said, “Geng Geng and Huai Huai’s mother!”
Yi Tianran: "..."
Li Rumeng snorted and said, "You don't believe me? Then look at Geng Geng and Huai Huai. Only an outstanding woman can give birth to such an outstanding and intelligent child. Hao Ren, don't you agree?"
"You're absolutely right!" Before Hao Ren could speak, Yi Tianran said with a smile, "I didn't realize that while your brain isn't the best, your eyesight is quite good."
When it was Li Rumeng's turn: "..."
Has this woman lost her mind? Why is she praising her?
However, before she could think any further, she sensed that something terrible was about to happen!
Li Rumeng stood up abruptly. The next moment, a loud bang came from behind her, followed by a stench that filled the room.
