Chapter 730: 0720 Isn’t it about declaring sovereignty?

"Guess?"

Su Ran was at a loss for words, "How am I supposed to guess that?"

Fu Qiyuan smiled, "I believe in you!"

Instantly, Su Ran was mesmerized by the man’s smile, nodding as she said:

"Then I’ll take a guess!"

The man leisurely watched her, waiting for her next speculation!

"Hmm... Today’s banquet was originally prepared for you and Chu Xiyao."

Fu Qiyuan nodded, "Correct!"

Su Ran continued, "The old master was very disappointed and angry when he saw me appear today, he even seemed a bit regretful, and he didn’t seem to be pretending, so the purpose of this banquet was to announce your marriage to Chu Xiyao?"

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow: "Go on."

Su Ran tilted her head, continuing, "Since it was to announce the marriage, in order to make you both look well-matched, the old master would definitely try to manage other aspects, like attire. At this time, couple outfits become very important!"

Fu Qiyuan’s lips curved up: "And then?"

Su Ran pouted, slowly speaking: "Then the old master assumed by convincing you to attend the banquet, you would surely accept all his arrangements, so he must have prepared your outfits in advance and sent them to you. I didn’t realize the old master was quite romantic. Everything would have been fine, only he didn’t expect that you would pull a bait and switch. Am I right in guessing?"

Fu Qiyuan watched the girl’s hopeful little face, unable to help but chuckle softly, reaching out to pinch her cheek.

"How can you be so clever?"

Su Ran discontentedly slapped away his hand, frowning as she said:

"You still haven’t told me if my guess is right or not?"

Fu Qiyuan nodded, "Yes, very right!"

"So, my outfit was also deliberately prepared by you?"

"Mmhmm."

Su Ran looked at him, "Your grandfather will be angry."

Fu Qiyuan was indifferent, "He was the one who made the first move."

"Fu Qiyuan, I won’t be mad at you for such a thing, actually you..."

She simply couldn’t utter the words "no need."

The man did this all for her, and deep down, she was actually very pleased.

Yet, she also didn’t want Fu Qiyuan to become so estranged with the old master because of her.

Fu Qiyuan saw the girl’s concern and reassured her:

"Don’t worry, I’m not doing this to spite my grandfather."

"Ah? Then what for?" Su Ran was completely puzzled.

Fu Qiyuan looked at her deeply and said:

"Isn’t it to declare sovereignty? To satisfy you."

Su Ran blinked, and suddenly, the words she had said the day before flashed through her mind.

"One day, I want everyone to know that you, Fu Qiyuan, are my man, Su Ran."

She wanted to declare sovereignty, and he fulfilled her wish?

This was just too much!

Immediately, Su Ran threw herself into the man’s arms, her eyes shining brightly as she looked up at him.

"Fu Qiyuan, I’ve discovered you really have the potential to be a doting husband, whatever I say goes."

Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly, kissing her forehead, "Mmh, your charm is great."

Su Ran’s expression held a touch of pride, "Of course, managing to dazzle the man in charge of Fu Consortium, my charm must be very great indeed."

Fu Qiyuan couldn’t suppress another soft chuckle, "Mmh, but you still need to keep it up!"

"Keep what up?" Su Ran was confused.

Fu Qiyuan tapped her forehead, "I’ve already set the record straight for myself, next up, it’s your turn, girlfriend!"

Su Ran touched her forehead, understanding Fu Qiyuan’s words.

His circle already knew about their relationship, but there was still hers, and the official announcement on the net...

"Of course, just your grandfather... uh, he is okay, right?"

She didn’t want the old man to have any problems because of their spat.

Fu Qiyuan shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "It’s fine. Rest assured, I am not as frail as I appear on the surface."

Hearing this, Su Ran paused, then sighed softly, with a look of deep resentment she said:

"It seems that your grandfather really doesn’t approve of me."

Fu Qiyuan pulled her into his embrace, "It’s not important."

"Hm?"

Fu Qiyuan looked at her and firmly said, "I am the one marrying you, and in this world, only you can shake my determination."

Su Ran was stunned, and then her eyes welled up with tears.

"Fu Qiyuan..."

Fu Qiyuan touched the girl’s hair, "So don’t overthink it, other people are not an issue between us, the issue between us is— you will to marry, I will indeed marry!"

Su Ran burrowed herself further into his arms, "Fu Qiyuan, how can you be so wonderful!"

"If I am good then marry me quickly."

Su Ran looked up at him with a hint of grievance, "The date was chosen by you."

So it’s really not my fault!

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

Did he dig a hole and bury himself?

But it doesn’t matter, she would be his sooner or later anyway!

"When do you want to go back?" Fu Qiyuan asked.

Su Ran looked up at him, "I’m fine anytime, do you still have things to do here?"

Fu Qiyuan shook his head, "Nothing important, let’s go back tomorrow."

Hearing this, Su Ran frowned, "But what about your grandfather..."

She didn’t mind, but considering the old man’s demeanor today, it probably wouldn’t be easy to let Fu Qiyuan leave!

"Never mind him!"

After pondering for two seconds, Su Ran said, "Then let’s see how things are tomorrow!"

After all, it wouldn’t be good if they really upset the old man so much that he fell ill!

For a man obsessed with spoiling his wife, naturally he wouldn’t oppose any of her words.

"Okay!"

-

An not so early dinner was simply settled in the living room.

After dinner, since it was still early, Fu Qiyuan went to the study to handle documents.

Su Ran took the clothes prepared by Fu Qiyuan to the bathroom to bathe, and after her shower, seeing that the man was still in the study, she sat on the sofa feeling somewhat bored.

Just as she was thinking about how to pass the time, she suddenly remembered the material An Yi had sent her.

She opened the material and briefly familiarized herself with it.

The Chu family, a name as prominent as the Fu family, was also not without its internal struggles.

The current head of the Chu family was the eldest, Chu Jiyang.

Chu Jiyang settled abroad, controlling the overseas properties, with many strategies and shrewd tactics, he was an outstanding family head.

But Chu Jiyang had no wife or children, only his deceased sister’s daughter raised in his name, which strictly speaking meant he had no heir.

Therefore, everyone’s attention was on the second branch of the Chu family.

Chu Jian of the second branch, was Chu Xiyao’s father.

Compared to the childless Chu Jiyang, Chu Jian’s private life was much more colorful.

Chu Xiyao, though young, assisted her father with domestic affairs, her methods and capabilities were not weak, making her a powerful businesswoman.

The reviews about her were all the likes of "talented beauty," "a woman who does not allow herself to be outdone by men," and so on.

With the main branch of the Chu family lacking a successor, and the second branch boasting such a talented and extraordinary daughter,

plus the fact that everyone knew Chu Xiyao grew up with Fu Qiyuan and was to marry into the Fu family as the mistress,

undoubtedly, this Chu Xiyao, would certainly be the next head of the Chu family.

At least, that’s what everyone else believed.
