◎ An unconventional way of showing affection. ◎

There was only one unopened task card left on the coffee table, with her name written on it. It was obvious that the two of them had different tasks.

After carefully reading it, Ren Lu revealed a playful expression. The production team really knew how to stir trouble.

It seemed that Lu Sinian’s “fated victim” radar had activated again, and the tasks were very unfavorable for the two of them.

“The production team gave me two tasks in total, but according to the rules, I can only show everyone the first one.” She explained, then held up the task card to the camera, but covered the lower part with her hand, only revealing the first line.

[Task One: Wives, please dress up in evening attire to attend the upcoming activity.]

Ren Lu immediately contacted the stylist, and soon a number of exquisite and luxurious gowns were delivered, hung on a rack for her to choose from.

The makeup artist also arrived with countless cosmetics, actively communicating with her about which look to go for.

The livestream viewers were also very excited. The haute couture gowns available for Ren Lu to choose from were simply dazzling.

—— Oh my god, where is this place? It’s practically heaven.

—— Is this the life of a wealthy wife? I don’t even dare to buy this many clothes for my Barbie dolls.

—— So scary, all of them are haute couture, and there are also custom-made pieces from various designers.

—— Competing with you rich people, I’m going all out!

—— Those who mocked President Lu last time for bringing just an ordinary dress must feel really embarrassed now. It’s fine if you can’t recognize them, but at least keep quiet instead of embarrassing yourself.

—— She not only has dresses personally designed by Master Shao, but also so many off-season haute couture pieces from various big brands. Even a fashion show isn’t this impressive.

With such a wealthy and extravagant wardrobe, Ren Lu quickly shot to the top of the trending searches, and countless viewers poured into the livestream, making her the most popular guest.

At the same time, the Xu Shiqing couple, who were also livestreaming, noticed this.

They had joined this program with ambition, aiming to crush all the other guests and become the most popular couple.

Originally, their attention level was decent. They had contacted various marketing accounts and PR teams, ready to jointly boost their popularity.

Who knew that in the very first episode, they would crash and burn. Not only becoming a laughingstock and a stepping stone, but also helping others climb to the top? How could they not be angry?

Therefore, the two had already reviewed their mistakes and, during the week-long break, discussed how to make a comeback.

But no matter how good their plans were, in the face of absolute wealth, they were caught completely off guard.

Even Xu Shiqing, who had previously been in the fashion circle, was extremely envious of Ren Lu’s haute couture collection, which not only dazzled the viewers but also made her green with jealousy.

However, she was unwilling to accept this, watching Ren Lu’s popularity grow higher and higher, as if someone were digging into her heart—it was unbearably painful.

After quietly exchanging messages, the couple decided to have marketing accounts stir the pot.

Soon, several sarcastic and provocative topics appeared on the trending list.

#OnHowRenLuClimbed Up#

#WhatPresidentLuEatsFirstThingintheMorning#

#PresidentLuandRenLu’sCoupleVibe#

At first glance, these topics seemed normal, but upon clicking in, the content was rather unsavory, all speculating in a negative direction.

They claimed that Ren Lu had climbed up using her body; that what President Lu ate first in the morning was not breakfast, but Ren Lu; that their so-called couple vibe was nothing but desire and sexual tension.

Unfortunately, Ren Lu was busy dressing up at the moment. Otherwise, if she saw these trending topics, she would have applauded them.

The summaries were simply too accurate.

“Madam, you couldn’t wear the purple fringe dress last time. Master Shao heard you were a bit regretful. Just in time, after watching the show, he was inspired and made a few new dresses. Please see if you like any of them?”

Seeing her a little troubled about which dress to pick, the stylist immediately spoke up with a suggestion and brought out those dresses.

Upon seeing them, Ren Lu’s eyes lit up at once.

“Ah, this dress looks a bit like the one from last time.” She pointed to one of them.

“Yes, this is based on the purple fringe dress from last time, but it suits you better.” The stylist nodded.

It was the same romantic purple color with a fringed hem, but this time it was an off-shoulder design, which better accentuated her figure.

When not worn, the fringes connected into a single piece, looking like glowing silk satin. Even without the embellishment of jewels, it still shone brilliantly, exuding nobility and elegance.

“Then I’ll take this one.”

She made her decision quickly, and the makeup artist immediately began applying makeup.

An elegant updo, a gentle and refined makeup look, and after changing into this purple fringe gown, her temperament instantly became even more outstanding.

Then the stylist brought out several jewelry boxes, opening them one by one. Each piece is made of huge gemstones, including rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Each one sparkled so brightly it was almost blinding.

“Vicky, there’s a necklace in my bedroom drawer. Go and get it for me. I’ll wear that one.” Ren Lu waved her hand, asking the stylist to put all these away.

—— Damn, when I was little, I couldn’t even bear to buy that many candy rings.

—— I wouldn’t dare to buy glass rings this big, afraid I couldn’t pull them off. But she’s wearing real diamonds this big.

—— I’ve never liked big diamonds since I was a kid—they’re too heavy!

—— Yeah, it’s not that I can’t afford them. It’s just my bad temper. I like small diamonds.

—— Ahhh, can I be Ren Lu for just one day? I’m really going to go crazy—so many beautiful dresses and pieces of jewelry, this is simply a woman’s paradise.

—— Honestly, some people say she lives such a hard life, flattering Lu Sinian every day. Can I please have this kind of hardship?

—— Such a big diamond and still not satisfied? Going to change to a new necklace? I really want to see just how impressive that necklace is!

Very soon, the necklace was brought over, and the stylist immediately recognized it.

“This was the final auction item last time—the Radiant Blue Diamond, flawless clarity, fifteen carats.”

A top stylist who had worked with countless celebrities and wealthy wives had naturally seen plenty of jewelry, but upon seeing this blue diamond necklace today, she still couldn’t help her eyes light up, as if she had come across a rare treasure. She spoke about the origin of the necklace like reciting from memory.

“Yes, the last trending topic was wrong. Sinian didn’t bid on the jade bracelet; he bid on this necklace. This diamond has a new name—Blue Jennifer,” Ren Lu explained with a light laugh.

“Blue Jennifer.” The stylist repeated the name, quickly reacting and asking, “Jenny is your English name?”

“Yes.” She nodded lightly, gazing at herself in the mirror, revealing a gentle smile.

The comment feed exploded again, buzzing with heated discussion.

—— Damn, President Lu is really romantic!

—— Naming the diamond after Ren Lu.

—— Hahaha, the trending topic said they were a ** couple, but Ren Lu just slapped them in the face. Their relationship looks really deep.

—— Did Mrs. Lu see the trending topic and deliberately choose this necklace? This is what they call—In your name, I show my love!

—— No, who asked you? What is this, naming a pet?

—— The name isn’t great—Blue Ren Lu? Or Melancholy Ren Lu? No, that’s unlucky.

—— Exactly, and giving it a foreign name I can’t even understand! Might as well call it Ren Lu Auspicious!

—— Hahaha, I agree. Ren Lu Auspicious sounds way better than Blue Jennifer!

And very soon, those sarcastic trending topics were replaced by new ones.

#BlueJennifer#

#PresidentLuRomantic#

#LuSinianRenLuLovingCouple#

These two topics shot straight to high-ranking trending spots, clearly with the Lu family’s PR department monitoring in real time and pushing them forward.

Peng Hongyu gritted his teeth as he watched, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh at how lucky the two of them were.

When Ren Lu finished dressing and came out, she was the very image of a noble princess.

Lu Sinian happened to be setting a bowl of rice on the table. Seeing her come out, he gave her a careful look but made no comment, only saying calmly, “Eat.”

This perfunctory and indifferent attitude perfectly showed what it meant to “throw flirtatious glances at a blind man.”

Ren Lu rolled her eyes inwardly. She had forgotten, this bastard still hadn’t been coaxed into a good mood.

But even if he were in a good mood, he couldn’t say anything pleasant anyway. After all, nothing good could come out of a dog’s mouth.

“I spent a long time dressing up. How do I look?” She spoke as she walked forward with model-like steps, the fringes of her dress swaying with her movements, seductive and graceful.

“Decent.” He threw out the two words concisely.

Ren Lu hadn’t expected much to begin with, so she wasn’t surprised by this answer. She simply nodded and sat down.

Breakfast was simple. Each of them had a sandwich.

The sandwiches were messy, with two slices of bread holding ham, lettuce, and a pile of scrambled eggs in fragments. Taking a bite caused pieces of egg to fall out.

It was obvious they were entirely made by Lu Sinian.

“How does it taste?” Lu Sinian asked only after she had eaten half.

Ren Lu raised an eyebrow. This kind of pointless question was obviously not from his own will. It was clearly a task assigned by the production team. Lu Sinian never gave others a chance to evaluate him. He didn’t need anyone’s approval. He was just that arrogant.

“Edible.”

Similarly, she gave an equally simple answer.

—— And they say you two aren’t meant to be! “Decent” and “edible”—a perfect match.

—— I’m dying of laughter. When President Lu just said “decent”, I thought Ren Lu was so humble, but less than two minutes later, the remark got bounced right back.

—— This kind of nitpicking—where’s the image of a loving couple?

—— The trending topic still says President Lu is romantic. Where’s the romance?

—— Here’s a joke—Lu Sinian and Ren Lu are a loving couple!

—— What’s the problem? Giving each other sarcastic replies is their kind of romance. They’re lovingly full of gunpowder!
