Chapter 35: Radiant and Energetic

The initial rumors had turned into facts, and everyone was surprised, but more curious: Does Mr. Yu's family know about this?

The "family" mainly referred to Mr. Yu's wife, whose name was written on the marriage certificate.

Which woman could stand her husband being so close to another woman?

Unless they didn’t care for each other anymore.

By the afternoon, the news of "Mr. Yu allegedly or confirmed to be cheating" had spread like wildfire, circulating throughout the entire company.

The male employees praised him for being a player, while the female employees scoffed. His once-perfect image in their eyes was now completely shattered.

Wu Ming entered the office to report on his work to Yu Mingze, and several times, he hesitated to speak.

It was so obvious that Yu Mingze naturally noticed his hesitation.

"What's up? Is something bothering you?"

"No."

Wu Ming decided not to bring it up.

Those rumors weren’t exactly work-related, just some office gossip about his personal life. Preventing the employees from spreading it further was an issue Wu Ming, as an assistant sent by headquarters to assist Yu Mingze, needed to handle.

It seemed Yu Mingze was aware of Wu Ming's hesitation, and he proactively explained that the girl who came by earlier was just a friend, giving Wu Ming a reason to keep the gossip from spreading.

Whether they believed it or not, discussions about this matter were no longer allowed in the company.

Anyone who wasn’t happy would just have to bite their tongue.

After Wu Ming left and closed the door, Yu Mingze pressed his temples.

He really wanted to be with An Ran, so that in the future when she came to the company, he could proudly introduce her to everyone.

But every time Yu Mingze had this thought, his mind would automatically recall what his father had told him: Song Qingyu and the child in her belly.

Ugh, this was giving him a headache!

Yu Mingze still hadn’t figured out how to handle the situation, which was why he hadn’t dared to go home recently.

Because as soon as he went home, he would inevitably run into Song Qingyu, and seeing her would remind him of the child.

He had only known Song Qingyu for a few months, and they weren’t particularly close, but somehow, they were expecting a baby. The whole situation was awkward to think about.

Sooner or later, Yu Mingze would need to figure out a way to handle this. Once Song Qingyu's belly grew bigger or the child was born, it would be impossible to hide.

An Ran would be devastated.

Yu Mingze sighed, afraid that he wouldn’t finish his afternoon work, and forced himself to concentrate on his tasks.

In the morning, Fu Yining woke up from her sleep, and seeing that it was only 7 o'clock, she thought that her recent schedule was truly healthy.

==========

She had never been an early riser before.

Since she was awake, Fu Yining didn’t want to stay in bed and decided to wear the skirt that Song Qingyu had given her.

Hmm, while the weather hasn't completely turned cold yet.

The skirt was cleaned and sent over to her last night, and Fu Yining had actually tried it on once. The only issue was that the waist was slightly too loose, but otherwise, it was perfect.

She went ahead to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Standing in front of the mirror, Fu Yining was surprised to find that the two fine lines she had noticed at the corner of her eye last night had completely disappeared.

And perhaps it was her imagination, but her skin also felt smoother and more delicate to the touch, and the person in the mirror could literally be described as "radiant."

It felt like her body was finally catching up to the age of her soul.

It was probably thanks to the serums and creams and her healthy sleep schedule.

Fu Yining dried the water droplets on her hands and reached for the skincare products beside her, marveling at how effective they were in smoothing out fine lines and repairing the skin.

It was truly magical!

Fu Yining decided to add these bottles to her shopping list for the long term.

After finishing her skincare routine, she headed to the walk-in closet. A pale blue denim skirt hanging among the long garments looked so out of place.

To pair with the skirt, Fu Yining had dug through her closet last night and found an old white T-shirt she hadn’t thrown out yet.

The T-shirt looked ordinary, but Fu Yining remembered that it had cost over $10,000.

She even inspected it thoroughly, wondering if there was some hidden feature she had missed.

In the end, she found nothing.

For a moment, Fu Yining felt like she’d been ripped off by the brand.

After changing, she pulled her long hair back and twirled in front of the full-length mirror, thinking that with this face and outfit, she looked completely natural.

She looked like a college girl.

Oh, right. The original body had only a high school education, had gotten into college but didn’t attend classes, and had never been a college girl.

Haha, don’t laugh.

Fu Yining silently mocked herself, thinking that giving up education for the sake of having a child was really not worth it.

It's no wonder the child she raised (the male lead) was so immature; maybe it was because the original body didn’t get enough education.

After a brief pause, Fu Yining turned and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Madam, you—"

Outside the bedroom, the young maid was about to inform Fu Yining that breakfast was ready, but when she saw who came out, she was astonished.

Was this really their madam?

No way?

The sound of Fu Yining closing the door startled the young maid.

The young maid, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, said awkwardly, "M-Madam, breakfast is ready."

"Alright, I understand."

She was just heading downstairs.

Fu Yining started walking, with the maid silently following behind her, unable to help but notice the long, straight, and fair legs in front of her.

Madam's legs were incredibly beautiful, weren't they?

Why hadn't she noticed before?

Oh, right, because Madam never used to wear skirts that showed her legs.

The maid, walking behind, quietly compared. If she had Madam's legs, she figured she'd be a few centimeters taller.

She fought the urge to kneel and touch them, forcing her gaze elsewhere to try and distract herself.

But, she failed.

Ugh, those legs were so beautiful! She couldn't look away!

Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, the maid realized she wasn't the only one completely captivated by Fu Yining's outfit.

The others were equally mesmerized, their surprise and admiration clear.

Among them, Wang Yue was the first to react, offering his signature smile as he walked toward Fu Yining.

"Madam, your breakfast is ready, and Sir is already waiting for you in the dining room."

"Okay."

After a week of living together, Fu Yining had a good sense of Yu Zhili's personality.

The man was indeed very aloof, hardly speaking to her unless he needed something.

This aspect suited Fu Yining just fine.

Though, she'd probably be even more pleased if he didn't come home every day.

Hmph.
