After Wen Baozhu finished speaking, she carefully observed Fu Lian's reaction.
She was afraid that he would reject her.
Fu Lian still had a smile on his lips. He looked up with a smile, reached out his hand and gently rubbed her face. "You little heartless. Why are your wishes never related to me?"
Wen Baozhu was slightly stunned and a bit at a loss. "Mr. Fu can do anything. He can achieve whatever he wants."
Fu Lian couldn't help laughing. "What do you take me for? A magical god?"
Wen Baozhu pursed her lips, her eyes bright.
Her look seemed to be saying: Isn't he?
Fu Lian was still smiling. He reached out his hand to ruffle her hair. "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll accompany you back to visit your grandma."
"Will Mr. Fu go with me too?" Wen Baozhu was surprised.
"Yes. I'll go back with you to visit the old lady." Fu Lian said in a calm tone.
Due to his family environment, Fu Lian hadn't experienced much family affection, but he was willing to indulge Wen Baozhu's little emotions.
Although he didn't give a definite time, he had still agreed in the end.
Fu Lian always kept his word and never made empty promises.
Moreover, this was just a trivial matter to him.
It was a thousand or even ten thousand times easier than asking for money, a big house or a status.
Finally satisfied, Wen Baozhu's mood became cheerful. The fact that he was going to get engaged to Fang Yuan didn't seem so important anymore.
Wen Baozhu was very clear in her heart that she couldn't have Fu Lian forever.
Just take one step at a time. Living in the moment was the most important thing.

The next afternoon, Wen Baozhu indeed received the invitation card personally delivered by A Yan. The gilded characters on it engraved the names of Fu Lian and Fang Yuan, as well as the location of the hotel.
Actually, Wen Baozhu didn't really want to go to the engagement banquet yesterday. She had just said those angry words on a whim.
Fu Lian either really didn't know or was just pretending not to know. He really kept his promise and sent the invitation card over.
A Yan said, "Miss Wen, Mr. Fu asked me to bring you a dress, jewelry and shoes. He said he hoped you could appear gorgeously at the banquet."
This meant that she had to go.
What was his mentality exactly? Wasn't it enough for him to hug his fiancée at his own engagement banquet? He also wanted to see his mistress dressed up beautifully.
Wen Baozhu couldn't figure it out, but she knew she had to do as he said.
The dress was a mermaid dress selected according to her size. It wasn't tight or loose. It fit her perfectly when she put it on. The jewelry was a very simple pearl and diamond style. Considering that she was pregnant, flat shoes were prepared for her, which were extremely soft when worn.
After changing her clothes, A Yan personally drove her to the pre - booked styling studio.
According to her temperament and style, the stylist applied a fresh and light makeup on her, curled her hair into waves with a curling iron, and finally applied a layer of light cinnamon lip gloss.
In the mirror, Wen Baozhu looked gentle and serene.
The pearl earrings hanging on her earlobes made her face look fair and smooth.
When she got back into the car, A Yan sincerely praised, "Miss Wen looks stunning today."
Wen Baozhu felt a bit uncomfortable being praised. She unconsciously clutched the hem of her dress.
It was someone else's engagement banquet tonight, yet she was so nervous and cramped here. She couldn't help but mock herself.
It was Fang Yuan's engagement. What were you so excited about?
She regretted that she shouldn't have been so stubborn last night and impulsively asked "Why didn't Mr. Fu inform me of his engagement banquet?" Now it was good. She had to maintain a smiling face in the social arena again.
Fang Yuan really paid great attention to the sense of ceremony. Most aristocratic engagement banquets were held in high - class hotels, but she chose a private noble courtyard by the sea.
Food and flower bouquets were placed both indoors and outdoors. You could smell the fragrance of pastries and flowers, as well as the coolness of the sea breeze and sea water no matter where you stood.
When they entered the venue, A Yan asked her to wait for him at the door for a moment. He had to park the car in the special parking area first.
As it happened, she met Meng Peiyu when getting out of the car. Meng Peiyu was even more surprised to see Wen Baozhu. "You really came?"
Wen Baozhu could only purse her lips. "I received the invitation temporarily."
Meng Peiyu's eyes flickered. She roughly guessed what was going on. Her voice was faint. It was not clear whether she was talking to Wen Baozhu or just talking to herself. "He is really heartless."
Asking his mistress to come and watch his engagement banquet with another woman.
Sure enough, a man's heart could be the most vicious.
Meng Peiyu asked her why she didn't go in. Hearing that she was just waiting for an assistant, she directly hooked her arm. "The sea breeze is strong outside. You'd better go in first. Anyway, he's not your male companion."
Only then did Wen Baozhu react. "You're alone too?"
"I'm here to watch the fun, not for socializing." Meng Peiyu didn't care. "Fang Yuan boasted so much about her engagement banquet. I'm going to see what's so special about it."
It was better to have a companion than not. The two walked into the dinner venue together.
Meng Peiyu took Wen Baozhu wandering around the banquet hall. They greeted and chatted with people from time to time, and both of them showed perfect fake smiles.
Some people recognized Wen Baozhu. Seeing that she wasn't accompanied by Fu Nian, they all had a knowing look on their faces.
Fu Nian was well - known for his promiscuity. It was reasonable that he didn't accompany his wife to the banquet honestly.
During the break, Meng Peiyu asked Wen Baozhu, "Speaking of which, does Fu Nian really not give you any face at all? He doesn't even want to show up with you?"
Wen Baozhu didn't know how to explain.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Meng Peiyu didn't press further. She just felt pity for this woman who had an unfortunate marriage. "... Is there any possibility for you two to get divorced?"
Divorce?
Meng Peiyu looked calm. "The longer a bad marriage lasts, the longer the pain will last. But stopping losses in time can maximize the happiness experience."
She blinked her eyes as if hinting at her. "It's the same with feelings and relationships. If you can't see the end of a relationship, it's better to end it in time."
Wen Baozhu bit her lip and said softly, "But you have to have the initiative to do so."
She didn't have the qualification to propose a divorce to the Fu family, nor did she have the capital to end the relationship with Fu Nian.
She was just a floating duckweed. Where did she have the right to make an active choice?
Meng Peiyu probably guessed what was going on and didn't continue this topic. She asked where the earrings on her ears were bought. "They don't seem to be from a first - tier brand series. Are they from a niche designer?"
Wen Baozhu touched her earlobe and honestly shook her head. "I don't know. They're gifts from others."
"Then next time, could you ask for me? I also want to buy jewelry of the same style." Meng Peiyu smiled. "I also like pearls very much. They're unique."
When girls got together, they loved to talk about shopping and sharing. When they met someone with the same taste and preference, they even wanted to recognize each other as sisters immediately.
Wen Baozhu rarely opened her heart and chatted with Meng Peiyu about related topics.
"Baozhu, Peiyu, why are you two hiding here?"
Just as they were chatting happily, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
Fang Yuan was holding Fu Lian's arm and walking towards them, with a happy smile of a little woman on her face.
