Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Cheering People Up

Cheng Shaoqing’s expression paused, and following Fu Shinuan’s gaze, he saw a silhouette with long, waterfall-like hair but did not see the face.

Ye Zhenzhen was quite pretty, and he had even gone out of his way to look her up after leaving Song Jinze’s office that day.

But when it came to stunning appearances, they were a dime a dozen everywhere. What really piqued his curiosity was how a married woman like her could make a married man like Song Jinze say that "she was his woman."

Thinking about it, he found the situation exceedingly amusing.

"Shaoqing~" Fu Shinuan tugged at Cheng Shaoqing’s sleeve.

Cheng Shaoqing turned around, "Hmm, what is it?"

Fu Shinuan pouted her lips slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, "I wanted you to look at that woman to tell you she’s the one who crashed into my car, why are you staring at her continuously!"

Cheng Shaoqing smiled lightly, raising his hand to gently caress her forehead, "There, there, I’ll have your car fixed, don’t be unhappy now, let’s choose a gown."

"I’m not unhappy, I’m... I’m just worried about you..." Fu Shinuan’s fair cheeks blushed with shyness.

In front of Cheng Shaoqing, Fu Shinuan was very aware of her strengths.

Rich second-generations like him did like beautiful women, but they liked beautiful, gentle, and understanding women even more. She was also very aware that there would be no future between her and Cheng Shaoqing.

After all, the difference in their statuses was too great.

The reason Cheng Shaoqing had sought her out was merely to cope with the arranged marriage his family had planned. Now, the only thing she could do was act sweet in front of Cheng Shaoqing to curry favor and secure as many resources and material benefits as possible for herself.

After some thought, she continued in a soft voice, "That woman Ye Zhenzhen is really terrible, she’s married and still seducing the industry’s Best Actor Xiao. They were trending on social media just yesterday, and there’s talk that the two even have an illegitimate child..."

If it wasn’t for Ye Zhenzhen, her leading role would not have been snatched away; but looking at it from another angle, roles can be stolen, now her concern was whether Cheng Shaoqing would also be captivated by Ye Zhenzhen’s appearance.

After all, people like him would change their female companions as often as they change clothes, and she herself was unclear as to when Cheng Shaoqing might choose to end their relationship.

Upon hearing this juicy gossip, Cheng Shaoqing’s eyebrows raised, "Is that so?"

This just got even more interesting!

Fu Shinuan nodded and said no more, her intention was simply to inform Cheng Shaoqing that the woman was no good.

Having made her point, she started to seriously browse through the gown photos on the tablet.

Cheng Shaoqing’s lips curled into an amused smile, pulling out his phone to share the gossip he had just heard with Song Jinze.

Song Jinze’s WeChat message quickly came back.

[Hmm, I know, I don’t mind!]

[Also, the trend from last night was pulled by someone.]

Cheng Shaoqing: !!!

He had merely entertained a playful thought when hearing Fu Shinuan talk about Ye Zhenzhen’s scandal, sending the gossip about Ye Zhenzhen to Song Jinze over WeChat, partly to tease him and partly to inform him.

In reality, with their kind of family backgrounds, engaging with women from the entertainment circle was seldom serious.

His aim in teasing was to chat with Song Jinze and then, while at it, to bring up the matter of the car repair. He hadn’t expected such a response.

It seemed that the Ferrari was going to be fixed by someone else.

Fu Shinuan had already chosen several nice-looking gowns and called out softly, "Shaoqing."

"Hmm?" Cheng Shaoqing put away his phone, "What is it?"

"How do you like these few dresses? I’m quite fond of this light green one—it’s so ethereal."

"They’re all pretty good. Go try them on before we decide,"

Fu Shinuan was somewhat discontented with Cheng Shaoqing’s absent-mindedness. She coquettishly said, "Don’t you have any substantial opinion? Like which one you like the most?"

"It all depends on you. If you like it, we’ll buy it. Sounds good?"

Upon hearing the word ’buy,’ Fu Shinuan’s dissatisfaction instantly dissipated, as all the dresses here were paired with jewelry and shoes, with each set costing at least a few million, and the most expensive ones being tens of millions.

She knew Cheng Shaoqing was generous, but she hadn’t expected him to be so straightforward.

"What if I take a fancy to two sets?" she asked, probing his limits further.

Cheng Shaoqing laughed. "We’ll buy them! But..."

Fu Shinuan arched her brows, "But what?"

"As for your car that got wrecked, I want to tell you that from now on, when you see Ye Zhenzhen, just let it go and stop holding a grudge,"

He didn’t know much about Ye Zhenzhen, but since she was under Song Jinze’s protection, Cheng Shaoqing couldn’t afford to provoke her. He was quite willing to spend some money to make Fu Shinuan happy and settle this matter.

He didn’t want the petty conflicts between women to harm his relationship with Song Jinze.

Fu Shinuan’s previously smiling eyes stiffened; her pupils sunk slightly as she nodded with difficulty, "Alright... I’ll listen to you."

For a moment, Fu Shinuan’s feelings were a complex mixture. She had intended to complain to Cheng Shaoqing, but in the end, he asked her to let go of her grievances.

Was Ye Zhenzhen a reincarnated vixen? It seemed every man needed to have something to do with her!

Cheng Shaoqing had only seen her once and was already speaking for her...

Fu Shinuan’s jealousy instantly transformed into a raging inferno within her.

She released her tightly bitten lower lip, smiled at the salesperson, and said, "Take me to try on these dresses, please."

The salesperson nodded, "Sure, Miss Fu, please follow me to the fitting room."

"Shaoqing, are you coming with me?"

"No need. You go try them on. I’ll pay when you’re done."

Fu Shinuan pouted and followed the salesperson to the second floor reluctantly. After taking a few steps, she couldn’t help but look back at the man sitting on the sofa; he showed no intention of following her and was busy browsing his phone instead.

After reaching the second floor, Fu Shinuan encountered Ye Zhenzhen, who was also looking at the dresses. A salesperson was discussing a cream strapless fishtail dress hanging on the rack with Ye Zhenzhen.

"Mrs. Ye, this dress has a somewhat small cut. After you’ve put it on, you can call us to help you with the zipper because any damage might affect the subsequent sale of the dress,"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Liu Rui, looking at the dress, commented with a smile, "This dress is truly beautiful."

"It is quite pretty. I’ll go try it on,"

Salesperson: "Please follow me this way."

Fu Shinuan felt the anger in her heart flare up upon seeing Ye Zhenzhen, as if finding an outlet. Her eyes that had been smiling turned cold, and she asked the salesperson, "Why didn’t I see that dress just now?"

The salesperson replied respectfully, "Oh, that dress was specifically put aside for Mrs. Ye to borrow as per Director Han’s request, so it was taken off the sales floor."

Fu Shinuan stared intently at Ye Zhenzhen’s back and muttered through clenched teeth, "What if I want to buy that dress? Can she still borrow it?"
