You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Bai Xinyao's smile faded slightly, but she still pretended to be very gentle.

"Xiao Ning, it's just a dress. You don't have to be so stingy. I need to accompany Ting Chen to a cocktail party next week and I need a formal dress. This dress is the most suitable. Even if you keep it, you won't have any important occasions to wear it. Why not give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi covered her nose with one hand and fanned the air with the other, "Tsk, the aroma of tea is overflowing."

Isn't this just showing off their affection in front of Ruan Ning?

Cheng Xi couldn't bear to see her best friend being bullied, so she spoke up and retorted.

"Everything is about first come, first served. Ningning booked her dress a week in advance. Why should she give it up just because of your word? Who you go to the party with is your business and has nothing to do with us. Who do you think you are? You're so shameless."

Bai Xinyao ignored Cheng Xi.

She looked at the shop assistant beside her, "I really like this dress. Please help me persuade Miss Ruan to give it to me. Mr. Fu is the store's VIC (Vice President). Are you sure you want to offend Mr. Fu for Miss Ruan's sake?"

All the staff in the store heard what was said.

Everyone just witnessed Bai Xinyao entering the store arm in arm with Fu Tingchen, the two behaving intimately.

Everyone assumed that Bai Xinyao was Mrs. Fu.

The store manager understood and turned to Ruan Ning, persuading, "Ms. Ruan, how about this? Why don't you give this dress to Mrs. Fu? Our store can replace it with the latest haute couture gown and give you a year's worth of free laundry and care services. What do you think?"

Ruan Ning stood firm, coldly saying, "No need, I won't change."

Bai Xinyao's patience was running out, and she was about to continue pressuring him when a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her.

"What's wrong?" Fu Tingchen came in after finishing a work call.

The man spotted Ruan Ning immediately.

"Ruan Ning, what brings you here?"

When Bai Xinyao saw Fu Tingchen, she dropped her previous assertiveness and put on a pitiful and weak appearance.

"Tingchen, I've got my eye on this dress, but Xiaoning won't let me have it..."

Fu Tingchen glanced at the moon-white gilded dress, then his gaze returned to Ruan Ning's calm face.

"Why did you buy a dress? Didn't you say you had to work overtime next week?"

Ruan Ning casually replied, "I bought it as a gift for a friend."

Fu Tingchen stared at her calm and expressionless eyes and remained silent for two seconds.

"Since it's a gift for a friend, not something you're going to use yourself, then you should give this dress to Xinyao."

"Xinyao is going to accompany me to Changguang's cocktail party next week. This dress suits her very well. You can give it to her, and I'll have the shop assistant pick out another dress for your friend that is the same price or even better."

Cheng Xi was furious.

Ugh, I really want to punch that scumbag!

How can there be such a shameless scoundrel of a man, demanding that his wife make concessions and compromises for another woman!

Upon hearing these words, Bai Xinyao raised her chin smugly and looked at Ruan Ning provocatively.

Ruan Ning was already used to it.

This wasn't the first time Fu Tingchen had asked her to make concessions for Bai Xinyao.

Cheng Xi angrily cursed, "Fu Tingchen, you dog..."

"Xi Xi." Ruan Ning raised her hand to stop her emotionally agitated best friend.

"I'll give it to her, I'll." Ruan Ning stared at Fu Tingchen, "Give me ten times the price."

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Fu Tingchen frowned slightly. "What does ten times mean?"

Ruan Ning smiled and said, "This dress originally cost 200,000, so ten times that would be 2 million. If you transfer 2 million to me now, I'll give this dress to Bai Xinyao."

Bai Xinyao's expression changed slightly.

Two million!

She really dares to speak her mind.

Fu Tingchen frowned, a subtle and strange feeling inexplicably passing through his heart.

Ruan Ning is indeed very different from before.

In the past, no matter how much she suffered, she would only silently endure it and would never be so assertive.

Thinking of the debt he owed Ruan Ning, Fu Tingchen agreed: "Okay."

In his eyes, this was just his wife acting out of spite.

Two million is nothing to him.

He would be happy if it could be resolved for two million.

Besides, Ruan Ning is his wife, so these two million can be considered as pocket money from her to him as her husband.

Fu Ting took out his phone and opened the transfer interface.

Seconds later, Ruan Ning received a transfer of two million.

Ruan Ning glanced down at the payment notification on her phone, a smile playing on her lips. "Received. Mr. Fu is so generous."

Her husband spent two million to buy a dress from her for another woman that should have belonged to her.

It's pretty funny.

After receiving the money, Ruan Ning said to the shop assistant, "Give it to her."

After saying that, she took her best friend Cheng Xi's hand and said, "Let's go."

Before leaving, Cheng Xi glared fiercely at the despicable couple in front of her.

The shop assistant quickly and carefully packed the haute couture dress and handed it to Bai Xinyao.

"Mrs. Fu, your dress."

Bai Xinyao took it and looked at Fu Tingchen with great joy, "Thank you, Tingchen."

Fu Tingchen, however, seemed somewhat distracted, his gaze following Ruan Ning.

After buying the dress, Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao left.

The moment the two left, the shop assistants started gossiping.

"Mr. Fu spoils Mrs. Fu so much! Just to make her happy, he casually gives her two million! My god, is this what a domineering CEO is all about?!"

"Yes, Mr. Fu is so doting and gentle with his wife!"

Ruan Ning and Cheng Xi got into the car.

Looking at her calm face, Cheng Xi couldn't help but speak softly, full of heartache: "Ningning, why didn't you just expose Bai Xinyao in the store? And why didn't you let Fu Gou know that you were also going to the party? Seeing him bully you for someone else, I really feel sorry for you."

"No need." Ruan Ning smiled. "I got two million, I'll give you one million, let's go out and have fun tonight."

Cheng Xi was stunned. "Huh?"

"We're breaking up now." Ruan Ning smiled and picked up her phone to transfer money to Cheng Xi. "Please check your account."

Cheng Xi was stunned when she saw the million she had just received.

"You're serious, even if we're not best friends?"

Ruan Ning laughed and said, "You must be exhausted from taking the subway to work every day. Why don't you buy a car? Come on, I'll go with you to look at cars."

Cheng Xi was moved to tears and hugged Ruan Ning tightly, "Waaaaah, Ningning, you're so wonderful! I want to follow you for the rest of my life!"

-

On the day of the party, Ruan Ning attended as Gu Mingzhou's date.

The two walked into the banquet hall side by side.

Gu Mingzhou said in a low voice, "Fu Tingchen's company has a partnership with Changguang, so he should be attending this party today."

Ruan Ning replied calmly, "Yes, I know."

After selling that dress to Bai Xinyao at a high price, Ruan Ning bought a light green satin backless dress.

This dress is understated and elegant, and it perfectly showcases Ruan Ning's figure and the beautiful butterfly bones on her back.

She attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared.

A woman whom Ruan Ning knew came up to greet her.

"Mrs. Fu, Mr. Gu, you..." The woman's gaze shifted between Ruan Ning and Gu Mingzhou.

Ruan Ning smiled and introduced, "Mrs. Wang, Mr. Gu and I used to be classmates. Now I work for his company, so we came together today."

"Oh, I see." Mrs. Wang looked enlightened, then stammered, "Mrs. Fu, I think I just saw your husband..."
