Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 22 Promise Fei

Fan Ruichen looked at Yang Nianqing and asked, "Is this okay?"

Freshly squeezed juice is highly nutritious and good for the body, so pregnant women can drink it. Pancakes are also fine. Seeing how accommodating Fan Ruichen was to her, Yang Nianqing felt a warmth in her heart and said to Fan Ruichen, "This is fine."

“Okay.” Fan Ruichen turned to Wang Hua and said, “Two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice and a box of muffins, please.”

"Okay." Wang Hua replied, quickly packing the pancakes and preparing the orange juice. She then handed them to Yang Nianqing with a smile, saying, "Miss, your juice pancakes are ready. You two are a perfect match."

Hearing this, Yang Nianqing blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Fan Ruichen. Fan Ruichen smiled at her, and she smiled happily. "Thank you!" Yang Nianqing took the things and handed Wang Hua a good luck charm. "You're so kind. This good luck charm is for you."

Wang Hua took it blankly and said, "Th...thank you."

Yang Nianqing smiled at her and entered the theater with Fan Ruichen.

Wang Hua's colleague Jiang Xin patted Wang Hua, who was lost in thought, and said, "Wang Hua, what are you doing?"

Wang Hua opened her palm to show her the triangular talisman in it: "No, a customer just gave me a peace talisman."

"Huh? Are they monks or nuns? Did you give them money? I've heard that there are a lot of people like this selling amulets and such in the clothing market, but I didn't expect to see them here."

Wang Hua waved her hand and said, "She didn't try to sell me anything, nor did she ask me for any money. I just said that she and her boyfriend were a good match, and she said I was a very nice person and gave me a good luck charm."

Jiang Xin paused for a moment, then joked, "Then you should keep it safe; it might really keep you safe."

Wang Hua casually stuffed the amulet into her handbag, which was lying to the side. At that moment, she didn't know that the amulet would truly protect her. Of course, that's a story for later.

Fan Ruichen asked Yang Nianqing in confusion, "Qingqing, why did you give her the amulet? Is she facing some kind of disaster?" Fan Ruichen assumed that Yang Nianqing had seen that the woman was in trouble before giving her the amulet.

"No, I don't just rush to help anyone who's down on their luck unconditionally. I gave her the amulet because she said we were a good match." After saying that, Yang Nianqing's face burned, and the blood rushed to her face.

Fan Ruichen blinked and chuckled. He hadn't expected this reason. Yang Nianqing was just too adorable. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Fan Ruichen smiled and took Yang Nianqing's hand as they entered the screening room.

Fan Ruichen bought tickets for a large theater with many people. He had overheard Luo Heng giving advice to his underlings. Luo Heng said that when a girl first starts dating you, you shouldn't choose a private theater for the movie, otherwise she will feel insecure. Although he didn't know why she would feel insecure, Luo Heng had been in so many relationships, so what he said should be true.

The movie was great, very funny, and Yang Nianqing liked it too, but the content made her lose herself in thought. Che Wenjie was so good to Gu Jing, was this what a brother was like? Yang Nianqing thought of Cheng Ying mentioning her twin brother, and then shook her head self-deprecatingly. According to Cheng Ying, those people didn't want to acknowledge her, including her own brother, so why should she expect anything?

"What's wrong?" Fan Ruichen asked, puzzled.

Yang Nianqing smiled at Fan Ruichen and said, "It's okay, the movie is very good."

In the darkness, Yang Nianqing's eyes shone brightly as if they held starlight, tempting Fan Ruichen to lower his head and kiss her. Fan Ruichen now understood why Luo Heng liked bringing his girlfriend to the movies so much—the atmosphere was wonderful, and she was so beautiful.

Yang Nianqing's cheeks flushed, and in the darkness, her hands were tightly clasped together with Fan Ruichen's.

As the movie ended and the staff turned on the lights, the sudden glare made Yang Nianqing squint. Seeing this, Fan Ruichen reached out to shield her eyes from the bright light. Yang Nianqing felt a pang of sadness and said sourly, "You're only 21 and you're so thoughtful. Have you had many girlfriends before?" A colleague had once complained to her about how considerate her boyfriend was, but she wasn't happy at all. The colleague said her boyfriend's attentiveness was due to his ex-girlfriend's influence, and that his thoughtfulness sometimes made her uncomfortable. She wasn't that kind of delicate girl; her boyfriend's meticulous care only made her see the shadow of another woman in him, making her feel that this man didn't belong to her, and causing her anxiety and insecurity. Today, Yang Nianqing understood what her colleague meant. Thinking about how good Fan Ruichen had been to other girls in the past, Yang Nianqing felt unhappy. She knew she shouldn't feel this way, but she couldn't control herself. Now, Yang Nianqing was feeling very down.

Fan Ruichen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Luo Heng had once said that girls sometimes get angry for no reason, and when it comes to your past relationships, they become even more unreasonable, insisting on comparing you to your ex-girlfriends. But Fan Ruichen saw this as a sign that she cared about you. He smiled and leaned close to Yang Nianqing's ear, his voice low and magnetic, "I've only ever had one girlfriend, you're my first love." It has to be said that Fan Ruichen became a different person around Yang Nianqing; his emotional intelligence was incredibly high, and he was especially good at flirting. Yang Nianqing's lips couldn't help but curve upwards. "Okay then, let's go!" Yang Nianqing pulled Fan Ruichen ahead, when a girl playfully teasing her friend suddenly rushed out from the side aisle, bumping into Yang Nianqing and causing her to stumble. Fan Ruichen steadied Yang Nianqing, glaring fiercely at the girl, "What are you doing!"

The girl seemed frightened by Fan Ruichen and stammered, "I, I didn't mean to."

Yang Nianqing tugged at Fan Ruichen's clothes, "Never mind, Achen, I'm fine."

Fan Ruichen glared at the girl, put his arm around Yang Nianqing's shoulder, and prepared to leave. The girl grabbed Yang Nianqing's hand and said, "Hey, aren't you that male celebrity Xu Nuofei? Why are you dressed as a woman to watch a movie?"

"Xu Nuofei!" Yang Nianqing's face turned cold as she shook off the girl's hand. "I'm not Xu Nuofei! I don't know anyone named Xu Nuofei!"

"No, you look..."

"Can't people look alike!" Yang Nianqing said loudly, pulling Fan Ruichen away.

Yang Nianqing, with a sullen face, pulled Fan Ruichen along. Seeing Yang Nianqing's extreme anger, Fan Ruichen asked in confusion, "Qingqing? Who is Xu Nuofei?"

"Don't mention Xu Nuofei to me!" Yang Nianqing roared.

Fan Ruichen was stunned. Yang Nianqing had never been so fierce to him in the past few days. Who exactly was Xu Nuofei? How could he make Yang Nianqing so angry?

Yang Nianqing realized her mistake and felt extremely annoyed. How could she have let these people get to her? Yang Nianqing turned around and looked at Fan Ruichen, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I didn't mean to. I don't want to mention him. I hate him!"

"Why?" He had investigated Yang Nianqing's affairs, and based on his understanding, Yang Nianqing should not have had any contact with a person named Xu Nuofei.

Mentioning that name brought back a flood of memories from her past life. The regret and despair made Yang Nianqing's tears flow rapidly. Unable to control her emotions, tears fell drop by drop as she choked out, "I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to mention it. Can I tell you later?" She couldn't let go of all of this now. Once she did, she would tell Fan Ruichen.

"Okay, okay, don't cry!" Fan Ruichen reached out and cupped Yang Nianqing's face, wiping away her tears with his thumb. Seeing Yang Nianqing cry made him feel uneasy and depressed. He would do whatever Yang Nianqing said, as long as she stopped crying.

Fan Ruichen understood her. Yang Nianqing breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Fan Ruichen, and sobbed, "Thank you!"

Fan Ruichen stroked Yang Nianqing's hair. "No need to thank me. I'll wait for you if you don't want to." A dark glint flashed in Fan Ruichen's eyes. He had been having a great date today, but a woman had ruined it! Yang Nianqing had never been so emotionally out of control since he met her. Xu Nuofei!
After finishing their business at Zhang Jie Seafood, Fan Ruichen, as usual, drove Yang Nianqing home and then returned to the hotel. Fan Ruichen sat on the sofa, lost in thought, feeling increasingly agitated. He suddenly remembered that the woman who bumped into Yang Nianqing had said that Yang Nianqing was the celebrity Xu Nuofei, which was why she was angry. Fan Ruichen took out his laptop and searched for Xu Nuofei online, finding a lot of information and photos.

Fan Ruichen randomly clicked on a picture. It was a man, but he was very handsome and refined, with a beauty that blurred the lines between genders. However, there was a heroic air between his brows that prevented people from mistaking him for a woman. What shocked Fan Ruichen was that this man looked at least 80% like Yang Nianqing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were exactly the same. He was practically a male version of Yang Nianqing, except that his facial features were more angular, while Yang Nianqing's were more delicate. Fan Ruichen opened Xu Nuofei's personal profile. He was 19 years old this year and was a child star. He started acting in TV shows and movies when he was 4 years old. He was also the second son of the chairman of the Xu Group. The Xu family had a high status in Kyoto. His family didn't have much of a relationship with the Xu family, but he had met them a few times at various banquets. The Xu family had three sons and one daughter. He had met all of them except for Xu Nuofei.

Because Xu Nuofei is a celebrity, he never attends business banquets held by high society. So he only knew that the Xu family had a son in the entertainment industry, but he had never met him. Xu Nuofei and Yang Nianqing look so alike that no one would believe they weren't twins. Moreover, they were born on the same day, month, and year. The Xu family has more male members than female members, and they only have one daughter. This girl has been pampered since childhood and has everything she wants.

Fan Ruichen had seen this girl act willful and spoiled in front of the Xu couple. She would make a fuss over a necklace that someone else was wearing, demanding that the Xu couple buy her an identical one. The Xu couple would indulge her and agree. Yang Nianqing, who looked almost exactly like Xu Nuofei, had suffered a lot since childhood and sometimes didn't even have enough to eat.

If Xu Nuofei and Yang Nianqing were truly twins, why was one in Kyoto and the other in Jiangcheng? Thinking of Yang Nianqing's parents, Yang Song and Cheng Ying, Fan Ruichen suddenly understood. Given Yang Song and Cheng Ying's mercenary nature, it wouldn't be surprising if they had somehow managed to send their daughter to a wealthy family to enjoy a life of luxury. No wonder the Yang family treated Yang Nianqing like a slave. That woman didn't resemble the Xu couple, nor did she resemble her twin brother, Xu Nuofei. Fan Ruichen didn't know why the Xu family hadn't found it strange, but he knew there must be more to Yang Nianqing's dislike of Xu Nuofei than met the eye. Although he hadn't spent much time with Yang Nianqing, Fan Ruichen knew she was a gentle and kind girl. For Yang Nianqing to dislike her so much… well, the Xu family probably wasn't any better!

Looking at the laptop in front of him, Fan Ruichen frowned, feeling like he'd forgotten something. Glancing at the red string on his wrist, he slapped his forehead. "How could I forget this!" Fan Ruichen typed "Five Deficiencies and Three Lacks" into a search engine, and many explanations popped up online, mostly saying it referred to a concept in destiny. The so-called Five Deficiencies were nothing more than "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, solitude, and disability." The Three Lacks referred to "money, life, and power." The world operates according to its own laws, and those who pry into the secrets of heaven and try to change the rules will be punished by heaven. The development of things has its own cause and effect; forcibly interfering and changing cause and effect will bring unforeseen disasters. Using the I Ching combined with palmistry for fortune telling is essentially prying into the secrets of heaven, and will actually incur divine punishment; moreover, this kind of fortune telling is very time-consuming and laborious. In comparison, Buddhism is much gentler. Buddhism changes the operation of things at the root of cause and effect, solving problems at the cause, and the consequences naturally change, which is in accordance with the laws of nature. Upon seeing this explanation, Fan Ruichen frowned. The idea of ​​someone being lonely, disabled, lacking money, or lacking life was terrifying. The consequences of fortune-telling were too severe. Fan Ruichen pondered how to dissuade Yang Nianqing from fortune-telling and stop her from doing so.
