CHAPTER 81: DAZZLING

She was like a melancholy puppet, pulled by Cai Xiaojing to get her hair and makeup done. She was changed into a purple, low-cut, long evening gown, and a pair of purple crystal high heels was chosen for her. Jewelry and accessories were all put on her in one go. Once she was fully dressed up, as long as Wen Nuan didn’t show a mournful expression, she was a radiant, noble, and elegant young lady, graceful and stunning the audience.

Wen Nuan’s face was truly easy to work with. Whatever temperament was desired could be created on her. In addition, she had learned a lot of etiquette and image courses recently, and those weren’t just for fun.

They could be very useful at crucial moments.

Midway through, Cheng Anya urged them once. Cai Xiaojing had originally wanted to have her try on a black evening gown to see which one looked better, but there wasn’t enough time, so she dragged Wen Nuan, dressed like this, to the top floor of Milan Spring.

Wen Nuan was very puzzled. Was she going to attend some kind of banquet again?

Would there be food at the banquet?

Her stomach had been growling several times already. Xiaojing-jie, didn’t you really hear it calling?

With a mournful expression, she was dragged by Cai Xiaojing to the top floor of Milan Spring. She had originally thought there would be some kind of banquet, but who knew that the top-floor cafe had been reserved? Only Cheng Anya and a beautiful woman in a fiery red long dress were there.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaojing, you really handle things reliably. How is it?" Cheng Anya turned her head to ask Xu Nuo beside her.

"Very beautiful, very stunning." Xu Nuo nodded. Cheng Anya smiled and beckoned Wen Nuan over. Cai Xiaojing also raised an eyebrow, very puzzled. She had originally thought there would be a banquet, so she had dressed Wen Nuan very glamorously. Now, looking at it, it turned out not to be.

"Xiaojing, not bad, exactly the effect I wanted." Cheng Anya smiled. The two women sat down, and Cheng Anya introduced Xu Nuo beside her to Wen Nuan. Upon hearing that she was the eldest young mistress of the Ye family, Cai Xiaojing couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

The highest inspector of the International Anti-Terrorism Organization. Such a prestigious title was very intimidating. The Ye family also had underworld business, but the Ye family’s daughter-in-law was from the legal world, which was very incongruous.

Wen Nuan hadn’t met her before. She had originally thought that an inspector of the anti-terrorism organization would be a tall and sturdy, formidable woman. Who knew that upon meeting her, she would realize that Xu Nuo was even more like a star than international stars?

With that appearance, few of the female artists she had seen could compare to Xu Nuo’s beauty. It was truly stunning.

She was stunning enough from afar, but up close, she was even more dazzling.

Cai Xiaojing couldn’t help but mutter that the entire Ye family were obsessed with looks, from old to young, all beauties and handsome men.

"Madam Ye, Eldest Young Mistress Ye, um, what did you want to see me about?" Wen Nuan asked, so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands. Wen Nuan was a young girl after all, unlike Cheng Anya, who was experienced and sophisticated, having gone through many storms in her life and seen everything. Nor was she like Xu Nuo, who had faced life and death and naturally possessed a queen-like aura. In front of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wen Nuan was just a pure and innocent young girl.

Wen Nuan also clearly felt the difference between them. Last time at the supermarket with Cheng Anya, she had been a bit reserved. Now, with the addition of the powerful aura of Xu Nuo, she seemed even more reserved.

"Wen Nuan, relax, we’re not going to eat you." Cheng Anya found it amusing to see her sitting so stiffly. She genuinely liked Wen Nuan from the bottom of her heart. She had observed her for a long time. She liked this kind of girl who was simple, optimistic, and strong the most. She seemed to see her younger self who had just entered society.

She had become worldly and sophisticated after only a year in society because no one protected her or paved the way for her. She had seen all the ugly sides herself. But Wen Nuan was different. She was still in school and had been taken into Feimo’s private domain and protected. If Feimo continued to protect her, she would probably remain this simple forever.

If she really became part of their family, she would probably be the only little white rabbit.

Wen Nuan was extremely uncomfortable.

She really felt awkward. She was wearing an evening gown and dressed up grandly, while Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo were dressed casually, without heavy makeup or dazzling jewelry. No matter how she looked at it, this scene felt wrong.

"Oh right, Wen Nuan, I heard that last time Feimo took you to a banquet and said in front of everyone that you were his fiancée and gave you the ’Rose Tear’ to wear, is that right?" Cheng Anya asked with a smile while drinking her coffee.

Wen Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. Was this the legendary queen mother making things difficult for Cinderella? How did TV dramas usually play out? Generally, after a prince and Cinderella fell in love, they would encounter a wicked queen mother, who would then try to break them up, and the prince and Cinderella would fly away in different directions.

Wuwuwu...

Even if she was Cinderella, Ye Feimo wasn’t a prince.

She was even more wronged than Dou E.

"Madam Ye, you’ve misunderstood. Second Young Master Ye did that on purpose that night for others to see. It wasn’t serious, not serious at all. I returned that necklace to him that very night. We also made it very clear, so there’s no such thing as a fiancée. It was just a temporary joke on his part, Madam Ye. Absolutely nothing like that happened," Wen Nuan clarified. She didn’t want to get involved with the Ye family in any way.

Mainly because that fellow Ye Feimo didn’t meet her criteria for a spouse.

"Acting?" Cheng Anya looked at Wen Nuan playfully. She knew Ye Feimo’s temperament better than anyone. He wouldn’t possibly tell Wen Nuan about his past with Han Bi. So, how did Wen Nuan know he was acting?

Interesting!

Xu Nuo said, "Miss Wen, the men in our family don’t go in for acting like that. So, you can take it seriously, it doesn’t matter."

Wen Nuan was silent. When Xu Nuo said in a cold tone that they didn’t go in for acting like that and she could take it seriously, why did she feel like her whole body was cold?

This woman’s tone of voice was too cold. Um... the eldest young master of the Ye family was too brave, sleeping with such a big block of ice at night.

A smile escaped Cheng Anya’s lips. This child Wen Nuan was truly too adorable. Whatever she thought in her heart was written all over her face. It was too amusing. Luckily, Xu Nuo was clever, but in some things, she was also very simple and couldn’t understand Wen Nuan’s expression at this moment.

"Nuonuo speaks with this tone, it’s very cold, isn’t it?" Cheng Anya said with a smile.

Wen Nuan subconsciously nodded honestly, then shook her head woodenly. Cheng Anya laughed heartily. Cai Xiaojing was baffled, not knowing what they had called Wen Nuan here for. Could it just be for chatting?

"Well, since Feimo said you are his fiancée, then from now on, you should consider yourself his fiancée," Cheng Anya said with a smile. Wen Nuan was stunned, not knowing how to react. She muttered to herself, did she look that eager to be Ye Feimo’s fiancée?
