After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 72 She is gone

—Mu Siran made a low-key appearance at Tiancheng Airport and was picked up by a mysterious handsome man.

—Mu Siran and the mysterious handsome man, Fangyuan Hotel

—Mu Siran, Secret Boyfriend

Tonight, Mu Siran dominated the trending topics.

When Xia Ling'er saw that she hadn't even made it into the trending topics list, and had instead benefited Mu Siran, she was furious.

Those reporters and fan club members were specially invited by her manager to pick her up at the airport.

She had just finished filming an advertisement for a luxury brand overseas, and could have used this opportunity to showcase her newfound status and charisma, but unexpectedly, Mu Siran stole the spotlight from her.

Xia Ling'er and Mu Siran were originally in the same company and had been secretly competing with each other.

Later, with the various resources provided by Lorne, Mu Siran rose through the ranks relatively quickly and opened her own independent studio.

Xia Ling'er is still struggling at her original company, trying to curry favor with big investors everywhere, and has only barely managed to get promoted in the last year or so.

However, she is still a little short of being a top-tier celebrity like Mu Siran.

For years, Xia Ling'er had harbored envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Mu Siran, and her heart was already filled with resentment and bitterness. Today's incident only intensified her hatred for Mu Siran!

Xia Ling'er was furious, so she took it out on her agent after returning to the company: "Look what you've done! You sent so many reporters, and they all fawned over Mu Siran!"

Agent Sun Fei also looked annoyed and quickly comforted her, "Ling'er, don't worry, we'll find another opportunity. This Mu Siran has been too popular lately, we need to find a way to suppress her."

Meanwhile, when Mu Siran arrived at the entrance of Fangyuan Hotel, she found a group of entertainment reporters already waiting there.

Entertainment reporters are smart; they won't just stand at the door with their cameras.

If you're going to film Mu Siran's privacy, you should do it in the shadows.

Luo Jiuyu was completely unaware of this. When Gao Peng parked the car in front of the hotel, he got out first and opened the car door, and Mu Siran followed suit.

"Then I'll leave you here." Luo Jiuyu didn't intend to escort Mu Siran inside.

Getting him to the hotel entrance was already his limit.

Mu Siran knew that the paparazzi must have been lying in ambush nearby, so she calmly approached Luo Jiuyu to talk.

"Could you come in with me to register? I'm afraid I'll be recognized and surrounded by people, and I won't be able to get away."

Her tone was very sincere. Her affectionate eyes were fixed on Luo Jiuyu.

If she had treated him like that earlier, he wouldn't have given up his unrequited love and gotten together with Hua Meimei.

But now he is unmoved by her gentleness and initiative.

"Okay, you wait in the car. I'll go get you a room, give you the room key, and then you can go up."

Luo Jiuyu felt that this was a safer approach and less likely to cause misunderstandings.

Mu Siran felt a little disappointed. She hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful, as if he was trying to avoid suspicion.

He asked Gao Peng to book a room at the front desk and then gave the room key to Mu Siran.

"Aren't you going to see me up?" Mu Siran asked with a pleading expression.

Luo Jiuyu shook her head slightly, her eyes distant, and said in a flat tone, "No need, I have something to do. Go up by yourself. Be careful, and contact me immediately if anything happens."

His words, though tinged with concern, seemed to deliberately maintain a distance.

Mu Siran bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she still forced a calm expression as she took the room key and forced a smile: "Okay, thank you then."

She turned and walked towards the hotel, her steps heavy, silently wondering how she should see him tomorrow.

Entertainment reporters secretly filmed all of this.

Although they didn't get any earth-shattering scoops, Mu Siran's interaction with this mysterious handsome man was enough for them to write several eye-catching reports.

Mu Siran went into the room, threw herself onto the bed, and felt depressed.

She had hoped to take this opportunity to get closer to Luo Jiuyu and clarify some of the false rumors circulating outside that she and Luo En were boyfriend and girlfriend, but she didn't expect Luo Jiuyu to be so distant.

She stared at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting back to the past, when they were still a close young couple. But now... everything has changed.

It was Hua Meimei's interference that distanced Luo Jiuyu's heart from her. She hated Hua Meimei's existence.

Luo Jiuyu returned to the car, her expression somewhat solemn.

Gao Peng glanced at him through the rearview mirror and asked softly, "President Luo, where are you going? To Zhenlongtai?"

Luo Jiuyu hummed in agreement, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest. However, the image of Mu Siran's aggrieved expression kept replaying in her mind, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

He once longed for Mu Siran, and now she seems to be showing signs of wanting to get closer to him, but he can no longer accept her.

Perhaps, this is just fate playing tricks on us.

Fate decreed that they were destined to be apart.

His heart and eyes are now filled with Hua Meimei, and he will no longer regret the unrequited love he missed.

Having Hua Meimei is the happiest thing for him.

However, he was unaware that all the trending topics on Weibo were related to him.

Someone has already traced the Cullinan he was riding in by its license plate number and found out that it was his car.

The mysterious person who picked up Mu Siran at the airport has been identified as him.

The leaked photos and videos show him personally escorting Mu Siran to the hotel.

By this point in the news, people had already come to believe that he was Mu Siran's boyfriend.

The internet is buzzing with discussion, with some saying that Mu Siran and Luo En are not a couple, but Luo Jiuyu is.

Some people say that Mu Siran and Luo En may have been together, but they may have broken up, and that Luo Jiuyu and Mu Siran are now together.

Some people say that Mu Siran is two-timing.

Some even say that Mu Siran has climbed up to Luo Jiuyu, this new rich man, and will have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.

Some people claiming to be alumni of both of them came forward to reveal that they were childhood sweethearts, went to middle school together, and their families were old friends.

Online, there are mostly voices of envy.

Only a few people commented weakly: "Hey, doesn't Luo Jiuyu have a wife? He publicly admitted it in front of the principal and many other people at our school. Our classmate Hua An'an is his wife's younger brother."

But these voices were too faint, and no one paid any attention.

At Zhenlongtai's home, Hua Meimei was in the kitchen learning to make a mousse cake by following a video, wanting to let Luo Jiuyu try it when he finished his work.

I received a trending news article on my phone, shared by Mousse Sweet.

She was already very nervous just looking at the titles, even before clicking on them.

After she clicked in and read the content, her heart sank.

It turns out that Luo Jiuyu didn't go to the company to work overtime; he went to the airport to pick up his beloved Mu Siran.

The two also went to the most expensive hotel in Tiancheng, Fangyuan Hotel.

Ah.

A bitter smile appeared on Berry's lips.

How cheap.

She felt like she was being incredibly foolish.

While she was happily busy making him snacks, he was having a secret rendezvous with his white moonlight.

Looking at the half-finished mousse cake, she was furious. She threw away the whipped cream and the mousse cake in the trash can.

She called Luo Jiuyu, wanting an explanation, or perhaps wanting to give him a piece of her mind.

Unfortunately, the phone's microphone only revealed that the other party's phone was switched off.

She felt suffocated and couldn't vent her anger.

Back in her room, she grew angrier the more she thought about it, saying that she would slowly make up for the love she gave you.

He said he would treat her well in the future.

A man's mouth, a liar.

In a moment of infatuation, she actually believed him, thinking he genuinely loved her.

In the blink of an eye, he went to a hotel with Mu Siran behind her back!

The images of the two of them whispering sweet nothings in my memory now feel only irony and disgust.

She packed up her things, taking everything she had left in the room with her.

Then, he left the car keys.

The keys to her Volvo car, which she drives to work, and the Valkyrie car, which she only drove once—from her villa in the north of the city back to Zhenlongtai—were both placed on the coffee table in the living room.

She pulled her suitcase and carried two large bags of things to the outside to hail a taxi.

The driver asked her where she was going, and she was stunned.

Yeah, where to?

Her parents' home wasn't a home. No one in the Hua family would welcome her back, and she didn't want to go back and endure them.

There were employees at the company doing live-streaming work; her bringing so much luggage there would only cause them panic.

She randomly picked the name of a hotel chain.

I'll have to stay in a hotel for now.
