Chapter 250 Our relationship has always been good.
Yu Yuetong fled back to her room. After closing the door, she leaned against it, her heart still pounding. She touched her burning cheeks and cursed inwardly, "Qin Reng, you bastard!"
She heard Qin Reng's footsteps outside the door, and then she heard him enter the room next door. Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew that starting tomorrow, she and Qin Reng would be acting out a play. But why did she always feel that this play wasn't so simple?
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. Yu Yuetong opened her eyes, and the scenes from last night flashed through her mind. She buried her face in the pillow in frustration, unable to believe that she had actually been made to have her heart race by that bastard Qin Reng.
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound suddenly rang out.
"Who is it?" Yu Yuetong asked warily.
"Madam, the young master asked me to help you prepare the dress you'll wear to the banquet," came the maid's voice from outside the door.
Yu Yuetong then remembered that she was to attend a banquet with Qin Reng that evening. She opened the door and saw the maid holding a champagne-colored evening gown.
"This is…"
"Young master specially chose this for you," the maid said with a smile. "He said this dress suits you very well."
Yu Yuetong accepted the dress, her fingers unconsciously tracing the smooth fabric. The dress was indeed beautiful, with an elegant and sophisticated cut, yet undeniably sexy.
"Madam, the young master also asked me to tell you that breakfast has been prepared."
When Yu Yuetong changed her clothes and came downstairs, Qin Reng was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her. He was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit today, and he looked exceptionally smart.
"Did you sleep well, wife?" Qin Reng looked up at her, a faint smile on his lips.
Yu Yuetong glared at him and sat down across the table: "Don't bother with that."
"What, are you still angry about last night?" Qin Reng picked up his coffee cup. "I remember someone's face was as red as a ripe apple last night."
"Qin Reng!" Yu Yuetong exclaimed angrily, "If you say that again, I won't go to the banquet!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." Qin Reng raised his hands in surrender, but the smile in his eyes deepened. "However, you really look beautiful today."
Yu Yuetong lowered her head and took a sip of milk, trying to hide her slightly flushed cheeks. How could this man always so easily stir her heartstrings?
"By the way," Qin Reng suddenly said seriously, "Tonight's banquet is very important; Qin Yu and Ji Momo will both be there."
Yu Yuetong put down her milk glass: "So you want to..."
"I want everyone to see that we are a truly loving couple." Qin Reng's eyes sharpened. "Especially Qin Yu, I want him to give up."
"You care about him that much?" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but ask.
Qin Reng looked at her and said, "What I care about is not him, but you."
Yu Yuetong was stunned. Those words seemed to contain too many emotions she couldn't understand.
"Alright, after breakfast I'll take you to get your hair and makeup done." Qin Reng stood up. "Tonight, you're going to be the most dazzling woman in the room."
Yu Yuetong stared at Qin Reng's retreating figure, suddenly feeling somewhat dazed. What was this man thinking? He said he was putting on an act for others, but why did she always feel that the tenderness in his eyes wasn't an act?
She shook her head, silently telling herself not to overthink it. The most important thing now was to put on a good show at the banquet. As for the rest… she could deal with that later.
The stylist was a young girl who skillfully created an elegant yet unique makeup look for Yu Yuetong.
"Madam looks beautiful," the stylist exclaimed as she styled her hair. "Young Master has excellent taste."
Looking at herself in the mirror, Yu Yuetong was indeed stunningly beautiful. The champagne-colored dress accentuated her perfect figure, and her exquisite makeup gave her an air of nobility and elegance.
"All done." The stylist sprayed her with setting spray as a final touch. "Madam, you can check out the results now."
Yu Yuetong stood up and twirled around. Her skirt swayed gently with her movement, like a blooming flower.
"Young Master is waiting for you outside," the stylist said with a smile.
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Qin Reng was leaning against the wall in the corridor. When he saw her come out, his eyes clearly froze.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Yu Yuetong deliberately twirled around, her skirt drawing a graceful arc in the air.
Qin Reng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Very beautiful."
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat. How could this man be so charming? Those were just two simple words, yet they made her heart race.
"Let's go." Qin Reng extended his hand. "My leading lady."
Yu Yuetong took his arm, and the two walked towards the elevator together. She could feel Qin Reng's body temperature coming through his suit, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
“Remember,” Qin Reng suddenly said in the elevator, “no matter what happens tonight, don’t leave my sight.”
Yu Yuetong looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
"Qin Yu is a very treacherous person." Qin Reng's eyes turned cold and sharp. "I don't want you to get hurt in any way."
Yu Yuetong felt a warmth in her heart. This man was always like this; he seemed cold on the surface, but he was always thinking of her.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a luxurious banquet hall already filled with guests. Yu Yuetong, arm in arm with Qin Reng, walked in and immediately felt countless gazes directed at her.
"President Qin." Ji Momo walked over with a wine glass in her hand, her red dress drawing attention. "Long time no see."
Yu Yuetong felt Qin Reng's arm tighten slightly. She knew that the play had officially begun.
"Yes, it's been a long time," Qin Reng said casually, but his gaze never left Yu Yuetong. "My wife and I have been very busy lately."
Ji Momo's smile froze for a moment: "Really? I heard you two have been getting along very well lately."
"Of course." Qin Reng suddenly lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Yu Yuetong's forehead. "Our relationship has always been very good."
Yu Yuetong's heart raced, and her cheeks flushed slightly. This man, does he really need to be this invested in his acting?
"Qin Reng." A cold voice suddenly rang out. Qin Yu walked over with a wine glass in hand, his gaze lingering on Yu Yuetong for a few seconds. "Long time no see."
The air suddenly became heavy. Yu Yuetong could feel Qin Reng tense up. She instinctively took his hand, offering silent support.
Qin Reng grasped her hand back, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Yes, it's been a long time, cousin."
Qin Yu raised his glass, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Yu Yuetong: "I heard you two are getting along very well lately, I wonder if it's true or not."
"What do you mean by that, cousin?" Qin Reng narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of danger.
"It's nothing," Qin Yu chuckled. "I was just thinking about things from the past. Yue Tong, do you remember our promise?"
Yu Yuetong was startled. Although she didn't know what agreement existed between the original owner and Qin Yu, judging from Qin Reng's instantly tightened grip, this was definitely not a good thing.
