Celia: "…"
Yara Lu practically glowed with excitement as she clung to Nathaniel Fu's arm. Clearly, she loved this game. She pulled him over to sit across from Celia and announced sweetly,"Nancheng, let's play for a while too."
With the most important people seated, everyone else eagerly gathered around the circular table. A waiter placed a wine bottle in the center, and one of the wealthy heirs explained the rules.
"I'll spin the bottle. The person the mouth points to is Party A, and the tail points to Party B. Party A can ask Party B to choose truth or dare. No backing out, no penalties—once you're picked, you're locked in."
Cheers of agreement followed."Okay, let's do it!"
The first round began. The bottle spun quickly, slowing as everyone held their breath. Finally, the mouth stopped at Xia Xiaofu—and the tail pointed straight at Nathaniel Fu.
Celia's heart skipped. This was far worse than if it had landed on her!
Xia Xiaofu's peach-blossom eyes curved into a mischievous smile as she leaned forward."Mr. Fu, truth or dare. Tell us…" She deliberately raised her voice."…where did you lose your virginity?"
Gasps erupted around the table.
She'd actually asked Nathaniel Fu about his virginity?At the very start of the game?
Yara Lu's expression froze. She hadn't expected Xia Xiaofu to ask such a humiliating question. Her stomach twisted as a thousand questions raced through her mind. Who had Nathaniel's first woman been? How many had there been since?
She quickly forced herself to push the thoughts away. She had called him once and brought him back—didn't that mean he still doted on her? She had worked so hard to maintain the illusion that their relationship was unchanged. But now, Xia Xiaofu's blunt question tore that illusion to shreds.
Celia pressed her eyes shut for a moment. This was exactly the situation she had dreaded. Beneath the table, she tugged lightly at Xia Xiaofu's sleeve in warning.
Xia Xiaofu batted her lashes innocently."Cici, if it weren't for you, I would have just asked him outright who his first woman was."
Celia: "…" Helpless, she withdrew her hand.
The crowd buzzed with anticipation, eyes glued to Nathaniel Fu. At the head of the table, his handsome features remained composed, expression unreadable. After a brief pause, his gaze slid past Xia Xiaofu and landed squarely on Celia. His voice was calm, almost casual.
"In Yecheng."
Laughter burst out immediately."Haha, I heard President Fu spent quite a while in Yecheng. So he lost it there too?"
Yara Lu's nails dug into her palms. Yecheng. So his first time had been with that woman he kept hidden there? That mistress she had always despised? No wonder he had kept her under lock and key—she was his first.
Her chest tightened with jealousy and rage. She had underestimated that woman.
"So Mr. Fu's first time wasn't with Miss Lu?" one of the rich heirs teased.
Among the young elite, most had liberal views when it came to relationships. With Nathaniel's wealth and power, it was almost expected that he'd had women before Yara. To them, it was nothing more than a joke.
But Yara Lu's face had already soured, her displeasure impossible to hide.
Sensing the tension, someone coughed and tried to smooth things over."Alright, alright, let's not go too far. Miss Lu's upset now."
Xia Xiaofu arched a brow, her red lips curving slyly."I really don't see why Miss Lu should be upset. After all, hasn't she spent years sitting pretty on her lotus platform, casting her nets in the pond? If you ask me, her love life has been far more colorful than Mr. Fu's."
The table fell silent for a beat before scattered laughter broke out again—though this time, many stole glances at Yara Lu's stormy expression.
