Lu Beichuan had become an expert at handling this type of scene a long time. But, lowering his head to look at the person in his arms, he saw that her brow was furrowed. Worried that an accident might happen with so many people around, he quietly said to Ye Zhen, “Go find a place to sit down first. I’ll go over there as soon as I’m done with the things here.”


  Ye Zhen nodded.

  Father Ye led Ye Zhen to a quiet spot to sit. After saying a few pleasantries about taking care of herself, he impatiently left.

  Ye Zhen sat down. Holding a glass of juice, she observed all sorts of people greeting Lu Beichuan and trying to strike up a conversation.

  He remained unruffled and deftly handled the crowd. It seemed that he was already a master of this type of social interaction, where you had to know when to advance or retreat in accordance with etiquette.

  His suit was meticulous, and his buttoned shirt covered everything. Just by leisurely standing there, he had a lofty aura that set him apart from others. This man would only give his gentle gazes to his wife.

  Who wouldn’t love such an outstanding and self-disciplined man?

  It didn’t take long before she lost sight of Lu Beichuan in the crowd of people that approached him.

  Ye Zhen stopped looking his way. After she had only taken a few sips of her juice, she saw Ye Qing coming towards her and bringing a woman with her. They sat down across from her.

  There was a big smile on Ye Qing’s face. It was as if she had completely forgotten about the previous ill-feelings between them and her embarrassment at the wedding. “Zhenzhen, I heard you’re pregnant. Congratulations.”


  However, there wasn’t the slightest trace of sincere joy on her face. What kind of congratulations was this?

  Ye Zhen didn’t want to feign civility with her. She gave a lukewarm response. “Thanks.”


  “Let me introduce you to someone. This is my friend, Shen Weiyin.”


  Shen Weiyin?

  Ye Zhen scrutinized the beautiful and exquisite woman by Ye Qing’s side.

  She naturally knew about this woman.

  Shen Weiyin was a popular actress. In recent years, she had won many awards for her outstanding roles in movies and TVs. She was only one step away from being given the title of Film Empress.

  However, this wasn’t that important. The important thing was that this goddess-level person was Lu Beichuan’s college classmate. College campuses were a place for youthful feelings to bud. No one knew what exactly happened between Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan in college, but Ye Zhen knew that this famous actress had endorsed a product that was under the banner of the Lu’s Corporation. And, there had been a scandal between her and Lu Beichuan.

  In the novel, because Lu Beichuan adored and admired Ye Qing, Shen Weiyin became one of Ye Qing’s formidable rivals. Shen Weiyin did her best to cause Ye Qing trouble at every turn. But in the end, Shen Weiyin’s efforts had been the same as picking up a rock to smash her own feet.

  It went against Ye Zhen’s expectations that Shen Weiyin would now strangely stand on the same side as Ye Qing.

  At the same time she was looking over Shen Weiyin, Shen Weiyin was looking over her too. Shen Weiyin’s gaze faintly flitted over Ye Zhen’s belly. “Miss Ye doesn’t look pregnant.”


  Ye Zhen smiled. “It’s only been over a month. It’s still early in the pregnancy, so it’s hard to tell.”


  “You and Beichuan have only been married for a month, and you immediately got pregnant. Based on my understanding of Beichuan, you’re not his type. Have you two had time to cultivate your feelings?”


  “Oh? Miss Shen, you even know what kind of woman my husband likes?”


  “We were college classmates. Once……” Shen Weiyin’s red lips curved into a slight smile as she looked at Ye Zhen. Her unspoken words were self-evident.
