Chapter 502 - 506: The Beauty Trap
"Hehe... I-I just got back..." Alan awkwardly pulled out a smile, feeling as though thousands of *** were stampeding through her mind...
She couldn’t even recognize her own parents, let alone these distant people!
Just when Alan wished she could disappear, a middle-aged man suddenly walked up from behind her and shielded her.
"Why are you all here so early? My Alan hasn’t been home in years, don’t scare her!"
Alan recognized the voice; it was her father who had arrived.
Luckily, her dad didn’t scold her this time but stood up for her instead.
The few people nearby laughed and started chatting with Alan’s father.
As for Xiangsi, who was dragged away mid-conversation, she turned around to see it was none other than Fu Jingxuan, someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.
He was wearing a dark blue suit today, with a gray striped tie, complementing his tall and well-built figure.
Xiangsi hadn’t paid much attention to him before, but ever since she met him on the subway that day, he mentioned the ’princess,’ making her suspicious.
Indeed, Fu Jingxuan was somewhat peculiar, always seeming to be around her, knowing what she liked and knowing about the ’princess.’
"Mr. Fu?" Xiangsi suppressed her doubts and looked at Fu Jingxuan with feigned surprise.
She had already seen Fu Jingxuan’s name on the guest list for Xing Chen’s event, knowing he would be here today, so she wasn’t truly surprised to see him.
But she hadn’t expected him to come over and drag her away directly.
Fu Jingxuan scrutinized Xiangsi, making sure she was alright, before asking worriedly, "Are you okay these days? Why haven’t I seen you at school?"
"I’m fine..." Xiangsi shook her head and glanced behind Fu Jingxuan, not spotting anyone suspicious following him.
The requirements for invitations to Xing Chen’s wedding today were very lax; anyone could come.
It’s possible that the fake mentor who agreed to meet Xiangsi here might really show up.
Right now, Xiangsi was suspecting that the fake mentor could be Fu Jingxuan, or maybe his associate!
"Did Mr. Fu come alone?"
"Yes." Fu Jingxuan nodded, seemingly uninterested in the topic, and began talking about Xiangsi instead. "I thought you and Xing Chen were close, I even believed you might get married... Yet after only a few days, he’s marrying another woman."
These words were clearly meant for Xiangsi’s ears.
And Xiangsi understood that Fu Jingxuan was likely probing her reactions.
If he wanted her to feel sad, she would let him see her sadness.
"Ah, it’s my own fault for having poor judgment, encountering such a heartless man." Xiangsi sighed and observed Fu Jingxuan’s subtle changes in expression.
Sure enough, his eyes lit up, and he urgently said to her, "Xiangsi, don’t be too sad. Even without Xing Chen, you still have people around who care about and look after you."
Speaking of which, Xiangsi suddenly remembered the few words Fu Jingxuan said to her on the subway. Did he seem interested in her?
And if she played along and used her charms, could she possibly uncover the conspiracy he was hiding?
