Fan Jun was notorious for being a spoiled playboy. Ning Xiner adored him and chased after him relentlessly. They were currently in a relationship.
Who would have expected the Shen family's adopted daughter to suddenly show up at this moment, seemingly trying to steal Fan Jun away? Ning Xiner despised that adopted daughter with all her heart.
Yara Lu casually tucked a curl behind her ear, her expression full of disdain."Xiner, why are you so anxious? I don't know how that adopted daughter managed to win Old Madam Shen's favor, but she isn't a true daughter of a prestigious family in the Imperial Capital. Do you really think Young Master Fan would fall for her?"
Ning Xiner immediately laughed, her confidence returning. A sparrow could never become a phoenix."Yaoyao, I heard the Shen family's adopted daughter is hideous. Fan Jun can't stand her. He's on his way to the airport to cancel the engagement."
"That's good then. Let's just wait for the news from Mr. Fan."
Meanwhile, Fan Jun had already arrived at the airport lobby. Wearing sunglasses and chewing gum, he looked thoroughly impatient as he waited for the Shen family's adopted daughter.
Rumor had it that she had a long, ugly scar across her face. If his family hadn't forced him to come, he would never have bothered—he was half-convinced she'd scare him senseless.
Two bodyguards trailed behind him, holding a sign with the large character "Shen" written on it. Fan Jun was ready to tell the so-called adopted daughter off and end the engagement on the spot.
Then, suddenly, he froze.
A girl walked into view.
He ripped off his sunglasses.
Her long, dark hair flowed like silk, her face small and porcelain-fair. Her cool, delicate beauty radiated an ethereal grace that made her look untouchable, almost like a painting that had come alive.
Fan Jun's jaw slackened in shock.Where on earth had this goddess come from?
It couldn't be possible. He knew every beautiful woman in the capital—none could escape his notice. And yet he had never seen someone like her before.
He rushed forward eagerly."Little fairy, hello!"
Celia had arrived.She had stepped into the Imperial Capital.
Blocked by Fan Jun, Celia stopped. Her gaze flicked to the "Shen" sign in the bodyguards' hands, then returned to him."Are you Fan Jun?"
"Little fairy, you know who I am?" he said with delight.
Celia tilted her head. "Aren't you supposed to be picking someone up?"
"Yes, yes, I'm here for the Shen family's adopted daughter. They say she's ugly, a total freak. But little fairy, you haven't answered me yet—how do you know me? Could it be…" His eyes lit up. "You secretly like me?"
Celia's lips curved into a faint smile. "Oh, I heard you were blind. Now that I've met you, it seems the rumors were true."
With that, she walked past him briskly, leaving Fan Jun gaping.
Blind? What did she mean, blind?
"Little fairy—wait! Add me on WeChat!"
He wanted to chase after her, but his phone rang, forcing him to stop and answer.
Outside the airport lobby, Celia spotted the Shen family's car waiting for her. Their housekeeper hurried forward, taking her suitcase.
Old Madam Shen opened her arms with joy."Cici, my darling, why are you so late?"
"Grandma, I just ran into Fan Jun," Celia replied lightly.
"That playboy? He actually thought you would marry him? Ridiculous!"
Meanwhile, at Zhouzhuang, Ning Xiner was on the phone with Fan Jun.
As soon as he picked up, she asked sweetly, "Jun, did you see the Shen family's adopted daughter yet?"
Fan Jun sneered. "Don't mention that clown from the Shen family. Absolutely revolting."
Ning Xiner covered her mouth, laughing softly."Don't be upset, Jun. Let's have dinner together tonight."
But instead of his usual playful tone, Fan Jun snapped impatiently, "I don't have time! It's all your fault—I lost my little fairy!"
