Feng Yu tightly grasped Fu Geyue's hand, a beautiful smile spreading across her lips. "Geyue, if you hadn't shown up in time just now, I... I don't know how I would have gotten out of that mess."
"Um..." Fu Geyue hesitated.
Feng Yu sensed Fu Geyue's uneasiness and frowned slightly. "Geyue, do you have something to tell me?"
"Actually... I didn't want to come to this banquet at first. You know, I'm just a distant cousin of the Fu family. Attending such a banquet would only embarrass myself."
Hearing this, Feng Yu looked up in surprise and murmured, "So, did Mr. Fu ask you to come?"
"Yes."
Fu Geyue nodded at her. "Third brother said that you'd be in trouble here, so he told me to come and help you right away. Sure enough, when I arrived, you were being harassed by Hu Yanyan! Gosh, I'm so glad I came!"
After hearing Fu Geyue's words, Feng Yu felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
Mr. Fu...
He still cares about her, doesn't he?
"Are you falling for him, Gosh?"
Falling for him?
Feng Yu blushed and quickly denied it. "N-no, I'm not."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Fu Geyue checked her phone and then asked, "He's here. Do you want to go and see him?"
Him?
Mr. Fu?
A glimmer of joy and anticipation flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, but at the same time, there was also a hint of worry. What if his identity was accidentally revealed when he came here?
"Yes, he's waiting for you in the back garden." Fu Geyue put away her phone, looked at Mu Li walking towards them in the distance, and said with a smile, "Well, I've passed on the message. It's up to you whether you go or not."
"Are you going on a date now?" Feng Yu asked, feeling a bit depressed.
"What? Jealous? Then you won't be jealous if you go to the back garden." Fu Geyue gave a mischievous smile, then immediately turned around and ran to Mu Li's side. She took his arm and happily left the banquet.
Go to the back garden and have a date with him?
Just thinking about the word "date" made her blush. Her body was telling her that she really wanted to go.
But she had just cleared her name from any connection with Bai Shaoting. If she went to the back garden to meet Mr. Fu now and was accidentally discovered by others...
Wouldn't it just confirm the accusation of having an affair?
However...
Meeting Mr. Fu couldn't really count as having an affair, could it?
Feng Yu looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly left the banquet hall and slowly walked towards the back garden.
"Girl, come here!" Fu Qianchen called out to her softly.
Feng Yu was startled and immediately covered his mouth in an over - reactive way, looking as if their meeting was a big secret. "S-shhh! Keep your voice down!"
A smile tugged at the corner of Fu Qianchen's lips.
What should he do? The girl in his arms was so cute that he couldn't help himself.
Fu Qianchen directly put his arm around her waist and carried her deeper into the darker part of the woods. As he walked, he teased her, "I'm just meeting my own Mrs. Fu, but why do I feel like I'm having an affair?"
"Thump—"
Feng Yu's heart was pounding like crazy. She shyly buried her head in his chest and didn't dare to look up at Mr. Fu.
Although her body was obedient, her mouth was stubborn. "P-put me down! Who, who's having an affair with you..."
Fu Qianchen put her down and hooked his finger under her chin, ordering domineeringly, "Mrs. Fu, please open your eyes and look at me."
"I, I won't." Feng Yu said stubbornly.
"Mrs. Fu, I'm going to exercise my rights as a legal husband..."
Feng Yu was really afraid that Mr. Fu would do something inappropriate in this place, so she said in a hurry, "I'll look!"
"I'm glad you're okay."
Fu Qianchen hugged her tightly. "I have to say, girl, you did an amazing job tonight."
"Mr. Fu..."
Looking at his affectionate expression, she suddenly forgot that their marriage was just a pretense... and forgot to push him away.
It seemed as if they were a real couple.
"Girl..." Fu Qianchen let go of her waist and hooked his finger under her chin again, staring directly at her plump, juicy lips.
She looked so beautiful tonight.
He had been watching her from a distance in the corner just now and had even lost himself in her.
Originally, he just wanted to come and take a look to make sure she was safe and then leave. But he still took the risk of exposing his identity because he couldn't help but want to see her.
"Mr. Fu..."
Feng Yu knew that he was staring at her lips. Just thinking about it made her heart feel like it was about to explode. It was completely out of her control, and her face blushed like it was about to bleed.
Fu Qianchen lowered his head and was about to kiss her lips...
Suddenly, a ball rolled between them. Feng Yu was so startled that she immediately pushed Fu Qianchen away and quickly kept a distance from him.
"Miss Feng?" Lu Zhiqian called out to her in surprise.
Feng Yu frowned slightly and looked up at him. "Actor Lu, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick up the ball."
Lu Zhiqian picked up the ball on the ground, turned around, and handed it to a little boy in a suit. He reminded gently, "Okay, take the ball back. It's too dark here. You might fall. Don't play football here anymore."
The little boy was stunned for a moment and then replied softly, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Lu. I'll put the ball away now."
After saying that, the little boy ran towards the well - lit area with the ball.
Seeing the little boy run away, Lu Zhiqian turned back, smiling insincerely, and asked, "Isn't this Mr. Qiu from Hailan Group? What are you doing here?"
Feng Yu glanced at Fu Qianchen and immediately tried to smooth things over. "There are too many people inside. I wanted to come out and get some fresh air. I accidentally met Mr. Qiu here."
Lu Zhiqian didn't expose her. He pursed his lips and stared at Fu Qianchen for a few seconds. "What a coincidence."
"Yes."
Fu Qianchen adjusted his silver mask and said with a smile, "I always feel that Miss Feng and I are destined to meet. No matter where I go, I always bump into her."
"Really?"
Lu Zhiqian didn't give in at all. He shifted his gaze to Feng Yu. "I also think Miss Feng and I are quite destined. I just came to pick up the ball for the kid, and I happened to meet Miss Feng."
"Is that so? It is quite a coincidence." Fu Qianchen's tone turned a bit colder.
Feng Yu: "..."
What on earth were these two people competing for? Why did she feel like there was something hidden in their words?
But the most important thing now was to find a way to take Lu Zhiqian away and let Mr. Fu leave here quickly.
If this continued, she always felt that something bad was going to happen.
She had to protect Mr. Fu's secret identity!
She immediately changed the subject. "Actor Lu, I heard that Director Yang is also here. Should we go and say hello to him?"
