Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Shen Qingqing immediately reached out and patted the back of her hand, her voice filled with heartache and resentment:

"Don't mention that blind man anymore! Have you forgotten how he treated you?"

"Su Manli tripped and fell, and he didn't even ask her anything before cursing you for being vicious."

"He can stand you up and disappear without a trace for something as important as trying on wedding dresses. Why are you still thinking about a man like that?"

"I haven't forgotten."

Liu Yunshu's voice was very soft, like a wisp of smoke about to dissipate in the wind, with a barely perceptible sob in it.

She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the surging desire in her eyes.

"But Fu Yanshen... he's Fu Jingming's uncle."

This forbidden relationship made her especially excited and... she couldn't help but cross her legs.

Shen Qingqing poked her forehead in exasperation:

"Forbidden things are exciting! Besides, if Fu Jingming can cheat on you with his white moonlight, why can't you find someone better?"

"In what way is Fu Yanshen inferior to him? Looks, wealth, ability, even the level of care he shows for you—he's miles ahead of Fu Jingming!"

She suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and her eyes gleamed with gossip.

"Just tell the truth, wasn't being with him last night a hundred times better than being with that blockhead Fu Jingming?"

"Qingqing! What nonsense are you talking about..."

Liu Yunshu's ears burned, and she glared at her reproachfully, her voice as soft as water.

"Jingming and I...we haven't..."

"What?!"

Shen Qingqing suddenly raised her voice, almost causing the bag of potato chips to fly away, her eyes wide like saucers.

"You've been with Fu Jingming for three years, and you still haven't..."

Liu Yunshu's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she hurriedly covered her mouth, her eyes glistening with tears, both ashamed and embarrassed.

"Keep your voice down! Do you want the whole building to hear you?"

Shen Qingqing pried her hands apart, her breathing rapid with disbelief:

"No way, sis! He's so cold to you, he doesn't even do this basic thing..."

She suddenly realized what she had done and slapped her thigh.

"No wonder you looked so 'well-hydrated' after you and Fu Yanshen last night! Turns out Fu Jingming is no good at all!"

"Qingqing!" Liu Yunshu was both anxious and embarrassed, her eyes reddening, but she stubbornly glared at her.

"Don't make wild guesses! He just... said he'd wait until the wedding day."

"Wait until we get married?" Shen Qingqing scoffed, her eyes full of disdain.

"He's certainly not that 'polite' to Su Manli, is he? Last time I caught them hugging and kissing in their car in the mall parking lot, they were so affectionate, they practically wanted to stick together!"

Yes, Fu Jingming never concealed his indulgence and ambiguous relationship with Su Manli.

Only with her did he always maintain a distant and restrained demeanor.

It turns out that the so-called "observance of etiquette" was just a lack of love.

Seeing that her face was pale, Shen Qingqing softened her tone and put her arm around her shoulder: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that scumbag anymore."

She changed the subject, and a gossip glint rekindled in her eyes.

"Seriously, is Fu Yanshen particularly good in that area? You seemed a little unsteady on your feet this morning, and your face was flushed. You must have been quite exhausted, right?"

Liu Yunshu was caught off guard by the blunt question, and the fragmented yet intense images from last night crashed into her mind.

Fu Yanshen's deep, cold eyes, his hot, calloused palms, and his lips that were both aggressive and captivating.

And then there was the soul-stirring pleasure and possession he gave.

Her heart suddenly raced, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her slender neck, and her voice was barely a whisper: "You...you shouldn't ask anymore."

"What's wrong with asking that!"

Shen Qingqing winked and said, "Why are you being shy with your sisters! Tell me, is President Fu really good at 'cold love'? He's especially good at it..."

"Knock knock knock—"

A knock on the door suddenly interrupted Shen Qingqing's increasingly blatant teasing.

Liu Yunshu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and almost jumped up: "I'll go open the door!"

She walked quickly to the entrance, took a deep breath, barely suppressing the heat on her face and neck and the panic in her heart, and opened the door.

A man in a black suit stood respectfully outside the door, carrying several exquisitely designed gift bags.

"Miss Liu, Mr. Fu instructed me to bring you some things."

Liu Yunshu was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the bags: "President Fu? How did he know I lived here?"

"President Fu instructed us to ensure Ms. Liu's safety and keep track of her schedule."

The assistant spoke calmly, gently handing the gift box forward.

"These are the clothes, skincare products, and breakfast that Mr. Fu has prepared for you. Mr. Fu instructed that you should rest well after breakfast and be fully refreshed so that you can attend the family banquet at the old house on time tomorrow."

Only after her assistant disappeared from the elevator did Liu Yunshu return to the house carrying the heavy gift boxes.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Qingqing rushed over and grabbed her arm.

"My god! Fu Yanshen's moves are so charming!"

Shen Qingqing stared at the gift box with shining eyes and immediately began to open it.

"They've only been apart for a short time, and the gift has already arrived. They even know your size and skincare preferences perfectly. Their possessiveness and initiative are absolutely top-notch!"

She deftly opened the top gift box, inside which were several neatly folded dresses.

The soft pink silk slip dress has a lustrous sheen, while the moon-white lace shirt is exquisite and elegant.

There was also a minimalist black dress with tiny diamonds adorning the neckline, subtly sparkling with light.

Each piece perfectly matches Liu Yunshu's aesthetic, and the sizes are exactly as described.

"That's amazing taste!"

Shen Qingqing picked up the black dress and exclaimed in admiration.

"Wearing this dress, you'll undoubtedly reach the pinnacle of pure allure. Mr. Fu is trying to transform you into his personal little enchantress!"

Just then, Liu Yunshu's phone on the table started vibrating, and the three characters "Fu Jingming" kept flashing on the screen.

Her hand holding the cup paused slightly, and the lingering gentleness in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by a layer of crisp frost.

Shen Qingqing leaned over for a glance and pouted, "This scumbag still dares to make phone calls? It's probably for tomorrow's family dinner."

Liu Yunshu closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were completely calm.

She pressed the answer button, her tone indifferent: "Feed."

"Yunshu, Manli is also going to Grandpa's birthday banquet tomorrow. We're about to go pick out clothes, why don't you come along? We can help you choose one."

Fu Jingming's voice sounded as gentle as ever, but it carried a condescending and perfunctory tone.

It was as if she was supposed to obediently listen to him and his white moonlight as they chose dresses for the banquet.

"No need." Her voice was soft, but carried a hint of coldness. "I have my own clothes."

"Yun Shu, don't be temperamental."

Fu Jingming's tone deepened, revealing a hint of impatience.

"The elders of the Fu family will be here tomorrow, so dress appropriately and don't let them laugh at you."

He paused, then added, "Manly said that the high-end boutique in the center has new styles. I'll take you there to pick them out, and I'll pay the bill."

He never remembered what size she wore, nor did he ever pay attention to what colors and styles she preferred.

Now, however, he has to take her along to help another woman choose a dress, and he has to use this condescending tone.

Liu Yunshu suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh filled with self-mockery and coldness:

"Fu Jingming, in your eyes, does that mean I should be grateful to you and obey your every word as long as you're willing to spend money on me?"

Fu Jingming on the other end of the phone seemed stunned and was speechless for a moment.

Su Manli's gentle voice rang in at the opportune moment, clearly audible through the receiver:

"Sister Yunshu, don't misunderstand A-Ming. He's just doing it for your own good. Tomorrow's occasion is very important. Let's go pick it out together so you'll have company."

"Are you with someone?"

Liu Yunshu's voice was as light as the wind, yet it carried a sharp edge tempered by ice.

"Su Manli, you and Fu Jingming are always seen together, what am I supposed to do if I follow along?"

"Is he merely a backdrop to your love story, or a prop used to highlight his 'utmost kindness and righteousness'?"

"Liu Yunshu!"

Fu Jingming's voice suddenly rose, filled with embarrassment and anger.

"Can you please stop being so aggressive? Manli meant well, why are you so ungrateful?"

"Kindness?"

Liu Yunshu's smile deepened, but her eyes remained icy.

"If she truly had such good intentions, she wouldn't have stayed by your side all day long, knowing I was your fiancée."

"I would never stage that fall in front of you to make you think I have malicious intentions."

"Are you still bringing up old grievances?!"

Fu Jingming's voice turned sharp, "Manli already explained that it was an accident! Liu Yunshu, you're becoming more and more unreasonable!"

The receiver carried Su Manli's low, aggrieved sobs:

"Ah Ming, stop arguing with Yun Shu. It's all my fault for being nosy..."

"I just feel that Yun Shu's clothes have always been too plain. I'm worried that she'll be criticized by the elders at tomorrow's occasion..."

"Did you hear that?"

Fu Jingming's tone softened slightly, but it was still reproachful.

"Manli always thinks of you, can't you be a little more considerate? Hurry up and get ready, I'm coming to pick you up now."

"No need."

Liu Yunshu's voice was calm and still, like a bottomless pool of water, "I will go by myself, no need for you and Sister Manli to worry."

Before she could finish speaking, she had already hung up the phone decisively and tossed it back onto the sofa.

If it weren't for the thrill, who would want to get entangled with an idiot like you! You're practically lowering her IQ!

Shen Qingqing slapped her shoulder hard, her eyes full of admiration: "Great! You should have confronted him like that a long time ago!"

She turned around, picked up the soft pink silk dress, and gestured with it in front of Liu Yunshu, her eyes shining.

"This dress was made for you! Wear it tomorrow, I guarantee it will stun everyone and make Fu Jingming regret it so much!"

Liu Yunshu turned to look at herself in the mirror, her fingertips gently brushing against the smooth, cool silk fabric.

The soft, misty powder shimmered with a delicate pearlescent light in the morning glow, perfectly highlighting her fair, flawless skin and slender figure.

She suddenly curved her lips into a slight smile, a hint of slyness flashing across her eyes.
