Ge Yunlan Hotel, Room 1106.
“Does he have any schedule tomorrow afternoon?” Shen Yiyin asked Shen Zui’s manager Wang Shan.
“Miss Shen, Ah Zui’s schedule is all in the morning. He has nothing in the afternoon.” Wang Shan answered truthfully. Originally, his schedule had been packed, but after the public announcement of his relationship, many brands had breached contracts.
Shen Yiyin nodded. “That’s good. Tell him to get ready. Tomorrow, he will go meet his fiancée.”
“I will send you the address on WeChat later. Take good care of him, especially his stomach. Remind him to eat on time, and absolutely tell him not to eat spicy food.”
Wang Shan nodded.
“Alright then, I’ll leave first. Thank you, Wang Shan.” Shen Yiyin patted Wang Shan’s shoulder and walked away in high heels.
Wang Shan stood there, staring in the direction Shen Yiyin left, lost in thought.
The next day, H University East Building 14-409 Teaching Building.
During the break after the third morning class.
Jiang Wanting was scrolling through Weibo with her phone. The original owner had a Weibo account with over ten thousand followers. Jiang Wanting browsed her past posts.
The original owner had shown her face before, but most of her posts were artworks. Her style leaned toward a melancholic theme, and each post had nearly two thousand likes.
Even now, people were still privately messaging her, urging her to update her posts. After a moment of silence, Jiang Wanting searched for Shen Zui.
She browsed Shen Zui’s Weibo. In just one day, his latest post had already surpassed five million likes. As expected of her idol—his popularity was extremely stable.
Jiang Wanting stared blankly at Shen Zui’s latest photo. Only Shen Zui’s breathtaking appearance could soothe her fragile heart.
“Hey! Wanwan, what are you doing?”
Jiang Wanting was startled by the sudden voice. She looked up at the person who caused it. Liu Yiwen was wearing a white T-shirt paired with a black suspender skirt, her long black hair reaching her waist, her oval face neatly made up.
Liu Yiwen, like her, was a fine arts major, but she was not in the same class. Jiang Wanting had no idea how the original owner knew her.
“Ah—so Wanwan likes Shen Zui!” Liu Yiwen widened her eyes in shock and deliberately raised her voice. “Didn’t he already announce his fiancée? Why are you still liking him?”
“I already unfollowed him.”
“I did too. I switched to Yi Cheng instead.”
“Is Yi Cheng the supporting male actor who starred with Shen Zui in ‘Silent Mourning’?”
“Yes, yes, that’s him. He’s really handsome. Let me show you his photo.”
The surrounding classmates who were sitting near Jiang Wanting also joined the conversation.
Jiang Wanting: “……”
She had not expected Shen Zui’s announcement of his fiancée to have such a huge impact. Shen Zui’s fanbase consisted mostly of girlfriend fans, followed by career fans, and mother fans…
She herself was one of those girlfriend fans.
In her previous life, she had become a fan of Shen Zui because of his healing smile. He looked especially good when he smiled.
“Wanwan, Ah Ye is looking at you outside!”
Jiang Wanting turned her head and saw Lin Zhongye standing outside the window.
Lin Zhongye’s face was somewhat pale. His brown phoenix eyes looked at her affectionately. When he noticed her gaze, he forced a bitter smile.
Jiang Wanting withdrew her gaze and cut straight to the point. “Are you sure he’s not here for you?”
Liu Yiwen’s heart skipped a beat. She laughed awkwardly. “Wanwan, what are you talking about? Ah Ye is definitely here for you.”
Jiang Wanting saw through her immediately. She casually flipped through the original owner’s drawings with her slender fingers, silently admiring them. They were really well drawn.
After class, Jiang Wanting left school on time. As she stepped out of the gate, she saw Uncle Liu, who always picked her up, waiting by the roadside.
She paused, then turned around and saw Lin Zhongye following behind her.
“Wanwan.”
“Stop!” Jiang Wanting made a stopping gesture. “Don’t follow me anymore.”
“Wanwan, what’s wrong? Didn’t we agree to always be together?” Lin Zhongye looked at her sorrowfully.
“What happened to you? Why don’t you remember me anymore?” Lin Zhongye stepped forward, opening his arms as if to hug her.
“Sir, if I’m not mistaken, you’re after my family’s money, right?” Jiang Wanting hit the point directly.
Lin Zhongye frowned. Had she discovered it? No… impossible. She was too stupid to realize it.
“Wanwan, what are you talking about?”
Jiang Wanting pretended to stretch her right leg slightly, shot him a glare, and ran toward the family car.
After getting into the car, she said to Uncle Liu in the driver’s seat: ”Uncle Liu, let’s go.”
Uncle Liu hesitated. “Miss, this Lin Zhongye has been harassing you at school. Should I report this to the master?”
“No need, Uncle Liu.” Jiang Wanting waved her hand quickly. “Don’t tell Grandpa. I can handle it myself.”
About ten minutes later, they arrived at Wei Luoqin’s clothing store.
Jiang Wanting stood outside for a moment. The shop was quite popular online, known for its stylish and trendy designs. She had not expected it to belong to her sister-in-law.
“Miss Jiang, please come in. The manager has been waiting for you.” A shop assistant greeted her.
Jiang Wanting came back to her senses and politely nodded before following her inside.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Wanwan is here. I’ve already prepared the outfits for you. Which one do you want to wear?” Wei Luoqin pointed at a row of clothes.
There were many dresses in different colors and styles, all high-end brands she had never worn before.
“Sister-in-law… who am I going to meet? Is it really necessary to dress so formally?” Jiang Wanting leaned closer and whispered.
Wei Luoqin paused. She did not know? Then again, it made sense—she had lost her memory.
“You’ll find out after you change.”
Jiang Wanting: “……”
Three minutes later, the fitting room door opened.
Jiang Wanting stepped out wearing a simple white dress. The hem fell just right—neither revealing nor old-fashioned. It exposed her delicate, slender ankles.
Her black hair fell softly over her chest. Her skin was fair and flawless, like porcelain. Her small face was bare of makeup, her almond-shaped eyes clear and bright, long curled lashes fluttering slightly.
Wei Luoqin nodded in satisfaction. It was a new design, and with Jiang Wanting’s figure, it looked tailor-made.
“A light makeup will make it perfect.”
With Jiang Wanting’s natural features, makeup did not take long.
Jiang Wanting stared at her reflection in the mirror in a daze. She was already beautiful without makeup—after makeup, she looked like a completely different person.
Wei Luoqin also styled her hair into a soft French romantic curl.
In the car, Jiang Wanting lowered her gaze, staring at her chat with Wei Luoqin on WeChat, lost in thought. She had not expected this to be a family meeting. No wonder she had been asked to dress so formally.
Juwei Xuan Restaurant.
A luxurious round rotating dining table was nearly full.
Seated at the table were Grandfather Jiang, Jiang Qixun and his wife, the Shen family elders, Shen Yang and his wife, and Shen Yiyin.
Jiang Wanting stood at the entrance, took several deep breaths, steadied herself, bit her lip, and pushed the door open.
Everyone inside turned toward the sound.
What appeared before them was a girl in a simple white dress. Her clear bright eyes, long trembling lashes, delicate rose-like lips, and flawless skin made her look almost unreal.
“Wanwan is here.” Lin Xinya quickly stood up and went forward to welcome her.
