After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Xuan Yi came to her senses, feeling the skeptical gazes shooting at her from all directions, and almost couldn't maintain her facade.

Now she was certain that Ji Fei had deliberately said those embarrassing words just to antagonize her.

She felt somewhat wronged, wondering why Ji Fei always seemed to be against her. Given Qin Xian and his group's relationship, Ji Fei should have been closer to them, so why would she help outsiders to embarrass her?

[Huh? What's with that look in Xuan Yi's eyes, as if she's blaming me? Good heavens, how thick-skinned can she be? Does she actually expect me to help her bully others, and then blame me when I don't?]

Ji Fei felt goosebumps all over her body.

As the discussions grew louder, Luo Cheng naturally came over to handle the situation, smiling as he asked what had happened.

"It's nothing, just introducing a makeup artist to the ladies," Xuan Yi forced a smile and said, "Perhaps because Ji Fei is a celebrity, her rates are higher than ours. We were just discussing that."

Luo Cheng smiled at Tang and said, "Miss Tang, thank you for your hard work today. Please feel free to sample any of the wines here. If you find any you like, let us know, and we'll send them to you."

Luo Cheng was being generous and polite, but Tang looked at him rather strangely.

Tang only felt a slight sense of sympathy, but considering Luo Cheng's status and power, she realized she was in no position to feel sorry for anyone.

"That's very kind, thank you," Tang responded politely, taking the graceful exit Luo Cheng had offered and helping to restore the atmosphere to normal. She didn't want to create potential problems for herself by letting a couple of jerks ruin someone else's important event.

Tang didn't plan to stay any longer. Knowing these people's ill intentions, she certainly wouldn't make herself a target, so she decided to return to the makeup room and wait until the banquet was over.

However, Tang still gave Ji Fei a grateful look, silently thanking her with her eyes. Even though her boyfriend Luo Zhou was just two people away, she didn't even glance in that direction.

This complete disregard made Luo Zhou nearly lose his mind. After all, Tang used to revolve her whole world around him, with eyes only for him. How could she ignore him like this? His heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

Seeing Tang about to leave, Luo Zhou finally exploded, "Where are you going? Come sit here."

At these words, everyone around looked over.

[Is it starting already? The mindless rage and domineering attitude is kicking in. I'm so embarrassed my toes are curling. Haven't you realized you didn't even specify who you're talking to?]

The Qin family members, who hadn't found anything wrong before, almost laughed out loud when they heard Ji Fei's mental commentary.

Those at the table naturally knew who Luo Zhou was addressing, but the group of ladies who had just arrived didn't, and they looked at each other in confusion.

Who was he talking to?

Tang might have tried to pretend she hadn't heard and continued walking, but then Luo Zhou shouted, "Stop right there, Tang Jiang! Didn't you hear me tell you to come here?"

[Here we go, here we go, he's calling her by name now. Looks like Luo Zhou really was planning to introduce his girlfriend to everyone before, so he doesn't care about making their relationship public right now. However, from Tang's behavior, it's clear she doesn't want others to know about her connection with Young Master Luo anymore, which is why she keeps trying to escape. Unfortunately, with such a lunatic, there's no getting away.]

Tang indeed had to reluctantly turn around, stiffly saying, "Young Master Luo, I still have work to complete. If there's any work-related matter to discuss, we can talk about it privately later."

Though the excuse was rather forced, it could barely maintain appearances, preventing people from speculating further about their relationship.

However, Luo Zhou felt rejected and became furious with embarrassment, especially since his girlfriend wasn't giving him face in front of so many people - it felt like a slap to his face. What work was she talking about? Was her job just doing makeup for his family's women?

Luo Zhou felt deeply humiliated. It was one thing for Tang to work as a makeup artist elsewhere, but how could she do it right at his family's doorstep? She was his girlfriend, his future wife!

In Luo Zhou's original plan, once Tang passed his tests and married him, she would naturally become a wealthy wife. If she wanted to do anything in the future, it would be as a boss making investments, not providing services to others. Appearing in such a role in front of so many acquaintances now - wouldn't that become gossip fodder later?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What work? Stop embarrassing yourself and come here," Luo Zhou blurted out in the heat of the moment.

[Has he... finally lost it completely?]

Qin Xian also frowned, looking at Luo Zhou as if he were looking at an idiot.

Tang's expression froze instantly, and she looked at Luo Zhou with an utterly unfamiliar gaze, as if she didn't know him at all.

When Luo Zhou saw Tang's expression, he instantly regretted his words, but being a man who cared too much about face, he couldn't take back what he'd said. He could only maintain his rigid expression, habitually waiting for Tang to soften and go along with him.

After all, Tang loved him deeply and couldn't leave him. She was always willing to indulge him, even when he knew he was wrong, Tang would always tolerate it. So it should be fine.

"Heh, embarrassing? What right does Young Master Luo have to say such things?" Tang suddenly said in a low voice.

[Oh? Tang finally couldn't take it anymore? Well, if she had to endure even this, she'd really be nothing but a pushover.]

Luo Zhou was stunned, looking at Tang in shock.

Whether from panic or fear, Luo Zhou suddenly burst out, "I'm your boyfriend, how do I not have the right!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the group of ladies who hadn't left yet gasped. They all widened their eyes, looking from Luo Zhou to Tang, and finally to the cousin. They had all heard about Xuan Yi trying to match her cousin with Luo Zhou, but they never expected Luo Zhou to have a girlfriend, let alone their hired makeup artist.

Oh my... what juicy drama!

Even those at the table hadn't expected their relationship to be revealed in such circumstances.

Tang froze, feeling uncomfortable under all the stares around her.

She had imagined that one day, she would be proudly introduced as his girlfriend in her boyfriend's social circle.

But when this moment actually came, Tang found it utterly absurd.

Tang gave a contemptuous smile and said, "Since you're my boyfriend, you have even less right to say that, because I've been supporting you with this skill for two years. You're the last person who should talk about embarrassment."

[Damn, that's brave! Kudos to Tang.]

This single statement left everyone at the table and the surrounding group of ladies dumbfounded. The three Qin siblings who had come to watch the drama almost dropped their drinks.

Was this about to turn into a fight?

Since she hadn't spoken very loudly, people elsewhere hadn't heard anything.

But this was already enough to humiliate Luo Zhou.

Ji Fei and Qin Xian both expected Luo Zhou to explode in anger given his temperament, but surprisingly, he just stared at Tang blankly.
