The sky-blue dress was stained with red wine, rendering it unwearable.
Not to mention the damp feeling clinging to her skin; it was truly uncomfortable, and Shen Qingqing's expression turned cold.
Fu Jingshu also wore a frosty demeanor, making everyone present hesitant to look at him. An invisible pressure gradually spread through the venue.
Everyone breathed a little more carefully.
So this was Master Fu? His presence was no joke.
Director Feng immediately stepped forward to reprimand the waiter, "What's going on? How can you be so careless?"
The waiter quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me!"
"Truly too careless!" Director Feng glared at him and then looked apologetically at Shen Qingqing, "Mrs. Fu, I'll have someone escort you to the second floor to change into clean clothes."
However, this evening gown would definitely have to be removed.
Fu Jingshu cast a cold glance at Director Feng, then took Shen Qingqing's hand, "Let's go, first get these wet clothes changed."
The couple headed upstairs.
Director Feng immediately calmed the guests and continued the engagement banquet. Meanwhile, King suddenly walked towards the girl. Upon seeing his stunningly handsome face, a flicker of astonishment crossed her eyes.
"You did this."
King's tone was certain.
The girl gazed intently at him, "My name is Feng Yilian, and yours?"
Her name was known throughout country H, especially within the Feng family. She was the little princess of the Feng family, the protagonist of this engagement banquet.
Unfortunately, even as the darling of the entire Feng family, to King, she was just a name. "I'm warning you, don't do such childish and malicious things again. If there's a next time, even your father won't be able to protect you."
For a fleeting moment,
He thought that if something really happened to Feng Yilian, the special medicine wouldn't be needed.
Not only because this woman had attacked his little disciple, but also because the way she looked at him was somewhat nauseating.
It was a pity…
His little disciple didn't like such methods.
Otherwise, with his former personality, he would have been perfectly capable of doing something.
He had been gone for a long time, yet Feng Yilian continued to stare at his receding back. A young man beside her chuckled, his tone laced with mockery.
"What, you've taken a liking to him?"
Feng Yilian glanced at him, "What's it to you?"
"I'm your fiancé, you tell me what's it to me?"
"Fan Hang, stop being so self-important. I don't like you." Feng Yilian utterly disdained Fan Hang, seeing him as a hypocrite. Don't think she didn't know that behind his pretentious facade, he was actually lecherous.
Fan Hang didn't get angry; instead, he smiled, "Do you think I like you?"
However, no man could tolerate his nominal fiancée cheating on him, could he?
When Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu came downstairs, she had changed into a white evening gown. It looked quite expensive, but it couldn't compare to the exquisite quality of her original dress.
But with her beauty, it didn't matter. Even wearing ordinary clothes, she was still the center of attention.
As soon as King saw them, he felt a sense of relief. He started complaining, "You two didn't see that little princess of the Feng family, Feng Yilian. She's not much to look at, but she thinks highly of herself and dared to look at me like that."
Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu exchanged a glance.
"Like that?"
"Don't gloat!" King had already seen the gossip in her eyes. "The wine on your dress? That was her doing."
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly, "Just because we wore the same dress?"
"Uh-huh."
Shen Qingqing glanced in Feng Yilian's direction and saw her talking to the person next to her with an air of arrogance. After a moment's thought, she decided not to cause trouble.
For the special medicine, she would endure.
She squeezed Fu Jingshu's hand, urging him not to act rashly, "For Xixi."
Fu Jingshu's tense hand slowly relaxed. His thin lips parted slightly, "I know, don't worry."
Afterward, throughout the banquet, he paid close attention to anyone who approached, no longer allowing anyone the chance to get close to his wife. His cautious and tender protectiveness made many women present envious.
They were envious.
Just as the engagement banquet was nearing its end, Feng Yilian suddenly walked towards them, her gaze fixed directly on Fu Jingshu. "You must be the renowned Master Fu. Hello, I am Miss Feng Yilian of the Feng family."
Her eyes seemed to carry a subtle suggestion and affection, lingering and entwined.
Fu Jingshu's brow furrowed, and he felt a bit nauseous under her gaze.
King, however, looked surprised and tentatively asked, "Miss Feng, do you remember me?"
Feng Yilian glanced at him, her initial astonishment gone, replaced by a haughty pride. Then, as she looked back at Fu Jingshu, her gaze softened again.
"Master Fu, I have admired you for a long time. Let's find a place to talk."
Fu Jingshu flatly refused, "No."
Feng Yilian had never been rejected so directly. Her face fell, "You came to my engagement banquet, which means you intend to build a good relationship with my Feng family. But your attitude..."
As expected of the little Feng princess, she immediately put on airs and started issuing threats.
King was curious about what she wanted and egged Fu Jingshu on, "Just go and see. See what she has to say."
As if the silly admirer wasn't targeting him.
Fu Jingshu shot him a sharp glance, a clear indication of "easy for you to say."
King blinked, feigning ignorance of his expression, and whispered, "This little princess might be our breakthrough to obtaining the special medicine."
Fu Jingshu froze. Suddenly, his wife stepped in front of him.
"I'm sorry, my husband isn't used to talking to single women; he's worried I'll get jealous."
Feng Yilian's expression immediately turned grim. She stared at Shen Qingqing meaningfully, let out a light, enigmatic laugh, and turned away.
King crossed his arms and declared, "She's probably crazy."
"She's always been crazy."
As a woman herself, Shen Qingqing had clearly seen the aggressive look in Feng Yilian's eyes earlier. However, she was equally pleased with Fu Jingshu's reaction.
"Keep it up."
She patted Fu Jingshu's chest.
Fu Jingshu curved his lips and replied obediently, "Yes."
Later, Fu Jingshu went to the restroom. To his surprise, as he emerged, he saw the arrogant little Feng princess standing by the wall, looking down at him.
"Fu Jingshu, I fancy you. Name your price."
Fu Jingshu stopped in his tracks, looking at her with utter disgust.
Feng Yilian seemed displeased, "What kind of look is that? I like you, I want to go out with you just once. It's your good fortune to be with me, and you still want to refuse?"
"Sick."
Fu Jingshu's cold lips uttered two words, and then he strode away.
He couldn't even spare her another glance.
Feng Yilian's face turned ashen. She was the pampered darling of the Feng family, doted on by her father, and had always been successful in country H. No one had ever dared to defy her.
She smiled slowly again.
This was good too. A little challenge made it more fun.
She didn't give up. Instead, before Fu Jingshu could get away, she found Shen Qingqing, who was eating cake alone, and cut to the chase, not bothering with pleasantries.
"How much money do you want to leave Fu Jingshu?"
