âSister Yan, whatâs wrong?â Duoduo asked hastily.
Lin Yan stowed her phone inside her bag to prevent her from peeking. âNothing... Nothing...â
This wasnât the first time Pei Yucheng had said something like that to her.
The first time had been when Feng Anhua had wanted to introduce a man to her. She had blurted out that dating was too expensive and she didnât like materialistic men. Hence, she had no wish to date.
Pei Yucheng had overheard what sheâd said and had said at the time, âActually, there is a solution...â
When Lin Yan had probed further, Pei Yucheng had asked her to marry him.
Lin Yan would never forget what Pei Yucheng had said after he had asked her. âAfter we get married, we wonât have to split the bill equally. As for money, there is certainly no need for us to draw a line. My assets and money will be all yours to manage.â
My assets and money will be all yours to manage...
That had been too much for her to handle!
Pei Yucheng had asked her once again.
She couldnât deny that Pei Yuchengâs solution would solve all her problems.
The title of Mrs. Pei would crush everyone in sight.
However, even if she were to marry Pei Yucheng right now, everyone would lecture Pei Yucheng for being blind. She did not wish to implicate him.
Lin Yan sighed in resignation and replied, âMr. Pei, donât mess with me now. Besides, even if you want to, you will be criticized.â
Pei Yucheng replied swiftly, âWhat if you had already married me three years ago? What if you already were Mrs. Pei?â
The moment Lin Yan read Pei Yuchengâs message, she couldnât snap out of her daze for a long time...
Huh? Damn it!
What did he mean by saying that she had already married him three years ago and was already Mrs. Pei?
If she had indeed married Pei Yucheng and become his wife, why would she need to enter the entertainment industry? Why would she need to work so hard to boost her popularity? Why would she need to land the title of the charity angel?
All her scandals and rumors would be proven false.
However, Pei Yuchengâs assumption was too frightening...
It was even more frightening than when he had asked her to marry him.
This was weird. Why would Pei Yucheng say something so bizarre?
Lin Yan had reached the security checkpoint while walking in a daze.
The cameras couldnât simply focus solely on her and had finally turned to someone else.
The moment the staff member saw Lin Yan, disdain filled her face. âPlease give me your invitation.â
Lin Yan passed her the invitation Zhao Hongling had gotten for her.
The staff member took it and scanned the barcode.
Almost instantly, the machine beeped shrilly and caught the attention of everyone around them, including Lin Shuya and her manager, who turned in Lin Yanâs direction.
âWhatâs wrong?â Duoduo frowned at the staff member.
She glanced at the alarm on the machineâs screen and replied, âSorry, Miss Lin. You canât enter.â
Duoduo snapped, âWe have an invitation! Why canât we enter?â
The staff member scoffed softly, âBecause this invitation is invalid.â
Duoduoâs eyes widened in agitation. âInvalid? How could this happen? This was an invitation given by the organizer!â
