Chapter 430 - Chapter 430 428 Should be admired everywhere

Chapter 430: 428 Should be admired everywhere Chapter 430: 428 Should be admired everywhere Su Xinyan’s eyes were filled with malice, and her heart was both jealous and resentful.

Who exactly was Su Ran’s boyfriend?

However, she didn’t have the time to think further about it right now; what was most important was how to mitigate the impact from the Internet.

She had wanted to use this support campaign to build momentum early, but it had backfired spectacularly.

Dammit, why does nothing ever go smoothly!

Su Xinyan gritted her teeth and checked the online situation again, and sure enough, the tide began to turn.

“Xinyan, in fact, we don’t need to care about those comments online. The higher Su Ran stands now, the harder she will fall later.”

Su Xinyan forced herself to calm down and turned to look at Meng Weiwei upon hearing her words.

Meng Weiwei wiped the sweat from her brow and spoke again.

“You are the most likely winner of this year’s competition; everyone is focusing on you. But Su Ran just had to show up and act all mighty. What does she have? Don’t forget the plagiarism accusations she carries. If she wins, people will only think it’s a hollow victory, further cementing her reputation for plagiarism. And if she loses…”

The gleam in Meng Weiwei’s eyes was dark with ill intent.

“A name not deserved. The higher they lift her now, the more pathetic her downfall will be.”

Su Xinyan’s eyes flickered, and after a long while, a calculating smile slowly formed at the corner of her lips.

–

Because of this vote ranking issue, all the attention online was now on this year’s designer competition.

Although Su Ran was firmly in first place with an unprecedented lead, there weren’t many who truly believed she would win the championship.

In the evening, when she returned home from work, Fu Qiyuan hadn’t come back yet. Thinking that she hadn’t cooked in a long time, she declined the maid’s help and set to work alone in the kitchen.

Aunt Sun covered her mouth with a smile!

The relationship between Miss Su and the young master is getting better and better!

After Su Ran had prepared dinner, Fu Qiyuan arrived home just in time. He observed her bustling back and forth between the living room and the kitchen, wearing an apron, and felt an indescribable emotion swell within him.

As Su Ran brought out the last dish, she saw the man standing at the entrance looking at her.

A light smile slowly spread across her delicate face, her starry eyes gleaming brightly.

“You’re back.”

You’re back?

Four simple yet exceptionally warm words!

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze was firmly on her, his eyes filled with a gentle warmth.

“Hmm.”

“Then go wash your hands and come eat. I haven’t cooked in a while; want to taste my cooking?”

“Sure!”

Fu Qiyuan washed his hands and sat opposite Su Ran. She served soup while Fu Qiyuan peeled shrimp wearing gloves.

In the end, Su Ran placed the soup in front of him, and he placed the peeled shrimp into her bowl.

Two hearts beating as one, perfectly in sync!

Both were slightly taken aback, then exchanged smiles and began to eat.

After dinner.

They sat on the sofa in the living room, with the TV on in front of them. Su Ran was idly scrolling through Weibo when she learned about what was happening online.

She blinked in shock as she looked at her ranking.

“Did you do this?”

She handed her phone to Fu Qiyuan and asked.

Fu Qiyuan glanced at it and responded nonchalantly.

“Hmm.”

Su Ran blinked again and pointed to the phone screen, “So this person is you?”

Where her fingertip pointed was a user ID named [Su Ran’s Boyfriend].

His gaze shifted from the phone to her face.

“Isn’t it?”

“Hmm?” Su Ran raised her eyebrows.

Fu Qiyuan looked at her. “Am I not your boyfriend?”

Su Ran was momentarily stunned.

“…Yes.”

The man chuckled softly and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek.

“That’s right, I was just stating a fact.”

Su Ran sighed lightly and glanced at her phone screen again.

“This is just the netizens making a fuss, why are you taking it seriously?”

Fu Qiyuan reached out and drew her shoulder closer, pulling her into his embrace.

“They’re bullying you.”

Bullying his person, was there even room for negotiation?

“So you just splurged five hundred million? It’s not worth it.”

Fu Qiyuan leaned down and kissed her forehead, his deep gaze looking into her eyes.

“It’s worth it, anything related to you is worth it. Besides, Fu Qiyuan’s woman should be looked up to by everyone, no matter where she is.”

Su Ran paused for a moment, deeply moved.

“What will you do if you spoil me rotten?”

The man smiled slightly.

“Spoiling you is my goal!”

Su Ran looked up at him, inquiring.

“Why? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll become pretentious and affected?”

“That is your prerogative, besides, if I spoil you now, you won’t look at anyone else in the future, will you?”

The man’s voice was always deep and cool, but at this moment, it carried an unprecedented warmth and indulgence.

Su Ran’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she moved, touched, into his embrace.

As time passed, she became increasingly vulnerable in front of him; she never considered herself someone whose tears came easily.

But with him, she could always be moved to a mess, and become increasingly… pretentious!

Fu Qiyuan stroked her head and then spoke again.

“Are you going to participate in this year’s preliminaries?”

Su Ran sniffled before she looked up at him, “Yes.”

Fu Qiyuan watched her quietly, not uttering a word, and then Su Ran began to explain.

“Since Su Xinyan is so keen on me participating, I naturally can’t let her down. Moreover, with the reputation of plagiarism hanging over my head, I need to start from scratch if I want to clear my name completely. Also, I don’t want to take any shortcuts.”

“I heard that your sister is the youngest participant in history? The most talented and youngest designer in the design industry?”

A glint of light flashed in Su Ran’s eyes as she nodded lightly.

“There’s such a rumor.”

Fu Qiyuan raised his eyebrow, the word ‘rumor’ was used perfectly!

“Since she’s so talented, why didn’t she bring out her personal brand to help Enrich through its crises? After all, according to your grandmother’s favoritism, Enrich will surely be her inheritance in the future.”

Upon hearing this.

Su Ran curled her lips slightly, a hint of mockery in her bright eyes.

“How could a flawed semi-finished product help Enrich through a crisis?”

Indeed, many designers established their personal brands or studios after competitions.

They even sold their award-winning designs to raise the profile of their studios.

Including Lydia, who placed third in a competition and quickly established her own studio after winning.

Yet Su Xinyan, the “rising star” much-anticipated in the design world, chose to enter the entertainment industry after achieving such results.

Should she be said to consider fame and fortune as dung?

A dark light flickered in Fu Qiyuan’s profound eyes, “Hmm?”

Su Ran said nothing, just raised her eyebrow at him.

Fu Qiyuan didn’t insist and leaned down to kiss her lips gently.

“Madam Fu, may I have a chance?”
