With many questions in their minds, everyone attended the Hundred-Day Banquet.
On this day, Wei Yuxian’s appearance transformed significantly.
Mrs. Fu had arranged for a makeup artist to give her a look that perfectly suited her face. Paired with a small evening dress, she looked stunning!
In recent days, Wei Yuxian had been studying etiquette diligently. Now, dressed up like this, she resembled a young lady from a prominent family.
Mrs. Fu watched Wei Yuxian twirl in her tailored evening gown with makeup done, nodding in approval, “You look beautiful! Absolutely stunning!”
Wei Yuxian felt a bit embarrassed by Mrs. Fu’s praise and complimented her back, saying, “Mrs. Fu, you look beautiful too.”
Mrs. Fu’s attire today was also very grand. Even though she was nearing seventy, once she put on the evening gown, her inherent grace and elegance shone through effortlessly.
There was no need for her to try hard; that natural elegance was just part of who she was.
Wei Yuxian looked at her with envy, thinking how nice it would be to have such natural grace one day.
After finishing his own preparations, Fu Xuanyi entered the room. He was dressed in a tailored black suit, his hair combed back, exuding maturity and composure.
He asked, “Are you ready?”
Most of the guests had arrived, and they were now waiting for the hosts to make their appearance.
Wei Yuxian stood up, wearing a pair of 5-centimeter high heels—too high for her comfort, as she was afraid of tripping. She replied, “I’m ready.”
The Fu family, along with Wei Yuxian and the two babies, descended the stairs together.
Downstairs, the room buzzed with excitement, and the chatter was all about the babies and Wei Yuxian.
Guests exchanged questions, eager to glean more information, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t unearth any new details!
They could only gaze towards the staircase, eagerly anticipating the hosts’ descent, hoping to see who could bring down the usually aloof Young Master Fu!
Finally, amidst everyone’s eager anticipation, the Fu family descended the stairs. Beside Fu Xuanyi was a unfamiliar woman, whom he held closely, displaying an intimate demeanor.
Behind Fu Xuanyi were two nannies, each cradling a child in their arms.
It suddenly dawned on the guests—they remembered the invitation mentioned a celebration for two babies!
So, Fu Xuanyi indeed had two children now!
This… wasn’t it said that the Fu family faced challenges in heirship, with Fu Xuanyi being the last of his line? How did he suddenly have two children?
The guests were left utterly stunned, unable to utter a word, staring blankly at the figures descending the staircase.
Wei Yuxian was attending such a large gathering for the first time, and they were all top-tier gatherings of prestigious families. Pretending not to be nervous would be a lie.
Under the scrutiny of so many eyes, she felt even more anxious, gripping Fu Xuanyi’s hand tighter.
Fu Xuanyi noticed her nervousness and gently patted her hand to reassure her, silently conveying, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Wei Yuxian relaxed slightly at his comforting gesture and nodded gently to him.
Downstairs in the banquet hall, the guests also regained their composure. Several families with closer ties to the Fu family approached first, including Mrs. Fu’s maternal relatives.
“Mr. Xuanyi, when did you have children? Why didn’t anyone hear about this?”
“Is this the Madam? She’s really beautiful, a perfect match for you, Mr. Xuanyi.”
“These two little ones are so adorable! Congratulations on the arrival of your precious children, Mr. Xuanyi!”
…
The inquiries and congratulations from the crowd filled the air.
Many also asked about Wei Yuxian and the two children. Mr. Xuanyi was typically reserved and Wei Yuxian was nervous, so they didn’t speak much. They simply smiled and thanked guests when congratulated, saying “thank you.”
It was Mr. and Mrs. Fu who answered most of the questions.
Through their responses, everyone learned that Wei Yuxian was Mr. Xuanyi’s fiancée. The two children, a boy named Fu Shiwen and a girl named Fu Zhixue, were also introduced. They also explained why the children were only being publicly revealed today – because their arrival had been difficult, they needed extra protection.
Guests approached in waves to offer their congratulations, their gifts having been collected by servants at the door earlier.
People were very curious about Wei Yuxian and the two children, asking about Wei Yuxian’s background and observing them closely.
Seeing Mr. Xuanyi’s fiancée, who appeared to be a young girl without any prominent background, surprised many and left them feeling somewhat disappointed.
Who would have thought that Mr. Xuanyi’s fiancée would be a young girl without connections?
Back then, they had fantasized about forming a marital alliance with Mr. Xuanyi, but now, it seemed there was no chance.
After exchanging congratulations, the guests began chatting amongst themselves. Some discussed business matters, while others took the opportunity to expand their networks and build relationships.
In any case, the atmosphere was lively.
Wei Yuxian stood for a while, feeling a bit tired. She wasn’t accustomed to wearing high heels, having only learned to wear them in the past half-month.
She murmured to the man beside her, “Ah Xuan, I’m a bit tired,” her voice so soft that only he could hear.
Fu Xuanyi felt sorry for her. He informed his parents and then took her to sit on the sofa, where a waiter brought her a glass of juice. He stayed by her side.
As Wei Yuxian sipped her juice, her feet finally stopped hurting. She observed the diverse array of people in the banquet hall: handsome young masters, beautiful ladies, and even some middle-aged bosses showing signs of aging.
She saw several big bosses who had appeared in the news before, but most of the others she didn’t recognize.
After sitting for a while, someone sat down next to Fu Xuanyi and started conversing with him.
They were discussing business, something Wei Yuxian couldn’t understand. She could only maintain a smile and quietly stay by Fu Xuanyi’s side, behaving obediently.
No one spoke to her, and she couldn’t play with her phone either. She felt like a mascot sitting there, feeling quite bored.
Finally, when the boss who had been talking with Fu Xuanyi left, Wei Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t have to keep up appearances anymore.
Fu Xuanyi turned to her and asked, “Are you bored?”
She replied, “It’s okay.”
Fu Xuanyi handed her a small cake, suggesting it as a dessert after the meal. He was about to say something to her when a spirited young lady sat down beside him.
This young lady appeared quite familiar with Fu Xuanyi and greeted him as soon as she sat down, saying, “Ah Xuan!”
Fu Xuanyi could only turn his head and look at the newcomer with a neutral expression, which was his usual demeanor with people outside of Wei Yuxian.
He replied, “Miss Qin.”
The newcomer was Miss Qin from the Qin family in the Capital, a talented individual close to Fu Xuanyi’s age. She had proven her capabilities within her family and took control of the Qin Group through her own talents, standing out among her siblings.
Fu Group and Qin Group have business dealings, plus they are classmates, which improves their relationship.
Miss Qin’s full name is Qin Junling, and she has a mature and assertive beauty, fitting the image of a capable elder sister, which left Wei Yuxian momentarily stunned.
Because she thought Qin Junling looked very attractive, the type of mature and successful woman she aspired to become!
