Chapter 769: 0758 Step one, lift your head and puff out your chest

But the lotus flowers on the cheongsam were lifelike, and the woman had an elegant aura about her, with fair skin and a beautiful neck revealed at the collar, as if the garment had been tailor-made for her.

Su Ran was dazzled at first sight.

Her gaze gradually moved upward until it reached the woman’s face, and, uh...

Braids and black-rimmed glasses?

Those accessories halved the classical literary charm she emanated.

What a waste of natural beauty!

"Yizhi, Shuyun."

Seeing the two of them, Chu Xiyao was the first to greet them.

However, when she looked at the woman beside Fu Yizhi, a hint of disgust flashed through her eyes.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow. Shuyun?

Even the name was so poetically graceful.

Fu Yizhi, holding the woman’s hand, stepped forward and greeted everyone.

"Grandfather, Big Brother, Second Brother, Sister Chu."

"Old Master Fu, Big Brother Fu, Second Brother Fu, Miss Chu."

She greeted everyone and was directly pulled by Fu Yizhi over to Su Ran.

"Sister Su, we’re here. This is the friend I told you about, Nan Shuyun."

"Shuyun, this is my future sister-in-law Su Ran, the renowned R on the international stage."

Fu Yizhi introduced her with her chin up, beaming with pride.

Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle, her gaze resting on Nan Shuyun.

Nan Shuyun’s eyes lingered on Su Ran’s face for a few seconds before quickly shifting away.

"...Hello."

"...Hello."

Fu Yizhi was beaming with joy, holding Su Ran with one hand and Nan Shuyun with the other, ready to walk towards the door.

"Sister Su, let’s hurry up and go!"

However, as soon as she took a step, her feet were immobilized.

Turning her head, she saw Fu Qiyuan holding Su Ran’s other arm, glaring at her with a dark look that spelled out a warning.

Fu Yizhi swallowed hard, "Big... Big Brother."

Fu Qiyuan looked at her and coldly stated, "She’s mine."

"Pfft—"

"Cough—"

The vast courtyard fell into dead silence!

Chu Xiyao’s face turned somewhat ugly, but she forced a smile.

Fu Qixiu couldn’t care less, covering his stomach and bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha... Bro, what’s with that ’my wife is about to elope’ look? Yizhi is a woman, you know?"

Su Ran was also torn between laughter and crying. She looked at the man helplessly and said,

"I’m just going out for a shopping trip, I’ll be back soon."

Fu Qiyuan was expressionless, "I’ll go with you."

Fu Yizhi stared at him in shock, "Big Brother...you’re going too?"

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her indifferently, "Is that a problem?"

Fu Yizhi’s face fell, "No... no problem!"

Old Master Fu watched Fu Qiyuan’s protective behavior and couldn’t help but frown.

"What are you doing following a woman shopping? She’s just going out for a bit. How long can they be apart? Isn’t this nonsense?"

Su Ran fixed her eyes on Old Master Fu for a few seconds.

Old Master Fu glared at her and then barked angrily:

"What are you looking at? Isn’t what I said correct? If you stick so close, how can he work and earn money?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, taking Fu Qiyuan’s hand in a reverse grip, and said with a smile,

"Grandfather is right, you have to earn money for me to spend. It’s just shopping, I can go by myself."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu choked without a word.

Was that what he meant?

A hint of amusement crossed Fu Qiyuan’s eyes, and he did not insist further.

"Alright."

Su Ran nodded, then turned to Fu Qixiu standing nearby.

"You stay with your brother."

Fu Qixiu instantly bristled, "Why should I?"

Su Ran said coldly, "Because I’m not available."

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Why is it always him who gets hurt?

After Su Ran and her companions left, Fu Qiyuan also departed with Fu Qixiu.

Chu Xiyao’s face looked somewhat unpleasant as she took out her phone and dialed a number.

All the way, Nan Shuyun kept her head slightly lowered, and when she made eye contact with Su Ran, she involuntarily lowered it even further.

Su Ran frowned slightly and sized up Nan Shuyun next to her. When Shuyun’s gaze fell on her for the nth time, Su Ran stopped walking.

Fu Yizhi also stopped, looking at Su Ran with a puzzled face.

"What’s wrong, Sister Su?"

Su Ran lightly raised her eyebrows and walked emotionlessly towards Nan Shuyun.

Feeling a powerful aura approaching, Nan Shuyun hunched her shoulders and took two steps back.

Su Ran’s brow twitched slightly, and suddenly she reached out and hooked up Shuyun’s chin.

Nan Shuyun’s eyes widened like a frightened deer.

Su Ran’s lips curled slightly as she looked directly into Shuyun’s eyes.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No... No."

Nan Shuyun, obviously startled, spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s.

"Then do you dislike me?"

Nan Shuyun’s body stiffened even more as she looked at Su Ran in terror, then shook her head frantically.

"No... No, how could that be possible..."

Fu Yizhi, standing by their side, became somewhat anxious, "Sister Su, how could Shuyun possibly dislike you? She, just like me, is one of your loyal fans."

Su Ran’s lips curled up as she peered into Nan Shuyun’s exceptionally beautiful eyes, teasingly saying:

"Oh? You like me? Or is it my work that you like?"

Nan Shuyun’s face was bare of makeup, her skin white and tender. Hearing Su Ran’s words, her face turned red in an instant.

Her non-aggressive eyes were filled with tenderness, elegance, and a dash of appropriately coy shyness.

"I... I like both."

Su Ran chuckled softly, her delicate eyebrows proudly expressive.

"But more than liking me, you aspire to become someone like me, is that right?"

Su Ran pointed towards her eyes, looking straight at her.

"Your eyes, they reflect yearning."

Nan Shuyun’s eyes flickered, sparkling with an array of colors. After a moment, she lowered her gaze and forced out a bitter smile.

"I know it’s impossible, all just my foolish fantasy..."

Su Ran looked down at her from above, her bright face adorned with a smile.

"If you doubt yourself deep down, then it indeed is impossible."

Su Ran said, letting go of her chin, and then lightly patted her on the back, coolly saying:

"If you want to become someone like me, the first step is to hold your head high and puff out your chest."

The three continued to walk forward, Su Ran’s gaze falling on the Cheongsam Shuyun was wearing.

"Your dress is very beautiful."

Fu Yizhi, hugging Su Ran’s arm, said cheerfully:

"Sister Su, Shuyun made this dress herself."

Su Ran’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly, examining it closely.

"Did you also draw the pattern yourself?"

Nan Shuyun took a half step back, meeting Su Ran’s eyes, forcefully resisting the urge to look down.

"Mhm."

Su Ran’s lips curled with interest, a glint flickering in her eyes, "Show me sometime."

"What?"

"Your designs."

-

The three of them went directly to the shopping mall closest to the old house.

Compared to Fu Yizhi’s cheerfulness and Su Ran’s nonchalance, Nan Shuyun seemed somewhat constrained.

The shopping mall was bustling with people coming and going.

Su Ran kept the two within a safe zone, walking on the outermost side herself.

Seeing this, Nan Shuyun felt a warmth in her heart, while Fu Yizhi’s little heart thump-thumped uncontrollably.

Invisible flirtation, most fatal!

Who needs a boyfriend?

Where can you find one who’s as considerate, tender, and attentive as Sister Su?

Too bad, she belongs to Big Brother Fu!
