Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Clean Your Eyes
Standing by her side, Wesley’s eyes were fixed, sparkling with amazement, "Such a beautiful Eastern woman."
He couldn’t bear to take his eyes off Shen Yanhe, and patting Melanie’s shoulder excitedly, he asked, "Melanie, do you know what that woman’s name is? I want to marry her!"
Melanie was even more displeased, forcefully knocking Wesley’s hand away and saying coldly, "You have no chance, she has a partner."
Having said that, she didn’t care about Wesley’s reaction and turned to walk back to her room.
Melanie’s eyes darkened, a hint of jealousy flashing through them, her hand at her side clenched into a fist.
She hadn’t expected that the woman would turn out so beautiful with just a slight makeover.
Just now, seeing Fu stand next to her, she even felt they looked like a golden boy and jade girl together.
But what of it?
If her education couldn’t keep up, that woman could only be a pretty vase.
At the most, after Fu married her, he could keep that woman as his mistress.
Melanie suppressed her dissatisfaction, took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and left with graceful steps.
Downstairs.
Just as Shen Yanhe got out of the car, she felt a burning gaze on her.
She knitted her brows slightly, holding Fu Yanhe’s arm and glancing casually towards the direction of that gaze.
Wesley, still on the balcony staring fixedly at Shen Yanhe, was caught off guard as their gazes met.
Seeing those eyes that naturally carried allure and seductiveness, Wesley’s heart grew hotter, and he managed a smile at Shen Yanhe, thinking it very elegant and gentlemanly.
Yet in his heart, he was determined to have her.
Even if she had a partner, so what?
Her partner could at best be considered a wealthy businessman, while he was a prince of the Harman Kingdom, more than worthy of her.
All he needed was to present some mines in a trade with her partner when the time came.
Her partner would definitely be very willing to hand her over to him.
After all, Wesley knew men’s weaknesses best, being a man himself.
Compared to women, they cared more about their own interests.
Shen Yanhe, seeing this visually offensive smile, expressionlessly shifted her gaze back, staring at Fu Yanhe.
Fu Yanhe’s eyebrows slightly raised, he looked down slightly, asking her in a gentle voice, "What’s wrong?"
"I just saw something sore on the eyes—a hideous thing." Shen Yanhe blinked, "Wash your eyes with this sight of me."
Fu Yanhe’s lips curved slightly, seriously saying, "Yes, look more at me."
The two conversed as they entered the hall.
The hall was brightly lit, decorated distinctly in the style of Harman, even displaying a human-height blue diamond in its center, refracting beautiful light under the illumination.
The European-style dining table was filled with dishes from various countries, with a separate table featuring dishes characteristic of Harman, fully stocked with wine and desserts.
The guests clinked glasses and mingled, with waiters dressed in Harman attire occasionally moving through the crowd with plates of champagne, creating a very lively atmosphere.
As soon as Fu Yanhe and Shen Yanhe entered, they immediately attracted many people’s attention.
Fu Yanhe’s face was now the public image of FY Corporation in Daxia, many wealthy businessmen who followed the news recognized him, coming forward to network.
After all, FY Corporation’s ventures spanned the globe, its wealth immeasurable, and getting close to Fu Yanhe could land their businesses some favorable projects.
However, they all tacitly ignored Shen Yanhe.
Because she was too pretty.
Having never seen a photo of Mrs. Fu Yanhe, they automatically assumed Shen Yanhe was his mistress.
A mistress, after all, was beneath their attention.
Shen Yanhe happened to dislike dealing with such situations, and with no one bothering her, she was actually relieved to be left alone.
Her gaze subtly swept over the guests, her thoughts somewhat casual.
She wondered how many of these guests were from the immortal organization.
Shen Yanhe wasn’t worried about them not coming.
This time, the auction held in the Kingdom of Harman featured the sale of two rare medicinal herbs.
As she had previously learned from Fu Yanhe’s lips, the immortal organization was conducting experiments related to drugs, so they definitely wouldn’t miss any rare medicinal herbs.
The disregard of these businessmen caused a slight displeasure in Fu Yanhe’s heart. He pulled Shen Yanhe closer and softly said, "Allow me to introduce, this is my wife, Shen Yanhe."
Shen Yanhe blinked and gave them a polite smile.
The businessmen, who had misunderstood, now wore awkward smiles on their faces but smoothly made some flattering remarks, "So it is the precious Mrs. The two of you are truly a match made in heaven, a golden boy and a jade girl, enviable indeed."
Fu Yanhe nodded slightly, not wanting to continue interacting with them, he called over Yi Fang and Wu Fang to chat with the businessmen.
Fu Yanhe then took Shen Yanhe to a corner to sit down and thoughtfully brought her the dessert she liked.
Shen Yanhe was digging into her cake, her lips barely moving, "Are there people from the immortal organization among these guests?"
"No." Fu Yanhe placed a cup of juice in front of her, "The guests haven’t all arrived yet, let’s wait and see."
Shen Yanhe nodded, took a bite of her cake, and then saw Yi Fang standing in front of a blond, blue-eyed man, waving at Fu Yanhe.
Shen Yanhe considerately said, "You go on, don’t worry about me."
Fu Yanhe pinched her palm gently, his voice warm, "I will be back soon."
Shen Yanhe responded, "Mhm."
She finished the small pastries Fu Yanhe had brought for her and just picked up her cup to cleanse her palate.
Suddenly, a voice with a hint of sourness came from behind, "No wonder Fu can’t let go of you, after you dress up you are so beautiful, if I were a man, I wouldn’t bear to either."
Without changing her expression, Shen Yanhe took a sip of her juice, slightly tilting her head to glance back.
Milani, accompanied by several women dressed in elegant gowns and of good appearance, approached.
Standing next to Milani, closest to her, a woman with a pretty appearance but a pinch of harshness in her eyes, examined Shen Yanhe from top to bottom and purposely asked in Harman language, "Are you the woman who interfered with Milani and Fu’s relationship?"
Milani’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but she did not stop her friend from provoking Shen Yanhe.
Shen Yanhe’s lips curled slightly, her gaze cold as she glanced at the woman and responded fluently in Harman language, "The quality of princesses and nobles in the Kingdom of Harman is truly disappointing."
"Moreover, you are mistaken; the real home wrecker here is Milani. My husband and I are already married, with a certificate, recognized by the laws of the whole world, I am Fu’s wife."
This sharp response instantly changed the faces of Milani and the woman.
Milani’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of surprise and suspicion as she asked, "Have you been to Harman before?"
"No comment," Shen Yanhe replied lightly, her lips curved in a slight smile, releasing four words.
In the past, in search of medicinal herbs, she had scoured even the most remote parts of the world, not just Harman.
To successfully extract information on the whereabouts of the medicinal herbs from the locals, Shen Yanhe had put in the effort to learn several minor languages.
A bit of Harman language.
Small matter.
"What is that attitude!" the woman snapped, clearly displeased, "The real mistress is you!"
"Previously, Fu and Milani were already engaged, it was you..."
Milani’s complexion shifted slightly. Opening her mouth, she interrupted, "Alright Ni Na, stop it."
Ni Na, somewhat reluctantly, was going to say more but ultimately could only shut her mouth under Milani’s somewhat threatening gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Milani offered a few words of courtesy, "Ni Na is young and has offended you, I’m very sorry."
"However, she is right about one thing."
"The interloper is indeed you, Miss Shen."
