Chapter 58 - That's Right, She's the Woman I Brought Back

“Lin Fan, I know you resent me for dumping you. Actually, I can understand. You're just feeling a bit bitter, that's all.”

“You're an orphan and you don't have any money, while I just want to pursue a better life for myself. We were destined to never be together. It's an unavoidable regret, and I hope you can understand and get over it.”

Huang Shiying slightly raised her neck, her expression indifferent, her words condescending, as if she couldn't wait to tell everyone of her now-noble status.

In her eyes, the reason Lin Fan had changed so much was all because of her.

After breaking up with her, he must have been unable to handle the blow, which led to this drastic change in his temperament and his cold, sarcastic remarks towards her.

It was even highly likely that he was jealous of the happiness she had now found, which is why he resented her even more!

“...Don't you think you're overestimating yourself a bit?”

Lin Fan had a speechless look on his face and shot her a disgusted glance.

Ever since the breakup, he had long since figured everything out and hadn't thought about the matter at all.

After becoming the Demon Sovereign in the Immortal-Demon Continent, he had forgotten her completely.

If she hadn't approached him on her own initiative, he wouldn't have even remembered this person existed…

And this woman actually thinks he's still hung up on her?

“Am I wrong?”

A mocking smile appeared on Huang Shiying's face, as if she had seen through everything.

“I heard that after we broke up, you didn't get another girlfriend, not even for several years after graduation.”

“And last year, you were so broken up over me that you even tried to kill yourself?”

Lin Fan: “…”

Lin Fan silently turned his gaze to Zhou Yan at the side. His eyes narrowed as he glared at him irritably.

Under his gaze, Zhou Yan turned his head away guiltily.

That's it. This kid must have been the one who spread that information…

After he disappeared, this kid must have been looking for him everywhere. It's highly likely he also went to ask Huang Shiying, which is how she found out he was missing.

In reality, he had simply been sent to another world by a large transport truck while on a nighttime walk; it had nothing to do with being unable to get over something and trying to kill himself.

If he could really kill himself over this kind of woman, then he, the Demon Sovereign, might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head on it to end it all…

“You're being a bit sentimental. I wouldn't lose my head over a woman like you.”

“I just went traveling for a while, that's all.”

Lin Fan explained indifferently, having no desire to engage with her any further.

Seeing her now, he just felt disgusted. Besides revulsion, he felt no other emotion for her.

“Exactly! Don't think you're such a big deal.”

“Speaking of which, we should thank you for breaking up with him. It's only because of that that Lin Fan was able to find a more beautiful and gentler sister-in-law while he was traveling.”

In an attempt to atone for his mistake, Zhou Yan seized the opportunity to mock Huang Shiying.

Huang Shiying's expression showed a flicker of shock, and she looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

“You're married?”

Before Lin Fan could speak, Zhou Yan cut in first:

“That's right! Lin Fan and sister-in-law have been together for a long time.”

“Sister-in-law is gentle, beautiful, a master of zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, and a great gamer. She's countless times better than a woman like you!”

“Right! Sister-in-law!”

With that, Zhou Yan turned his head to look where Long Yue was sitting, only to see a completely empty seat. She was nowhere to be found.

“…Huh? Where's sister-in-law?”

Zhou Yan looked left and right, his face full of confusion.

She was just here a moment ago. When did she disappear? He hadn't noticed at all…

Lin Fan also searched the venue and quickly spotted Long Yue, holding a plate and tongs, busy picking out food at the buffet table.

The Tomahawk steak, King Crab, and Australian lobster she couldn't bear to eat at that high-end restaurant, along with many other fancy foods she had never seen before, were all being piled onto her plate.

These are all high-class ingredients that she usually can't bear to eat!

If I don't take this opportunity to eat more, I might not get the chance in the future!

Choosing to come to the Demon Sovereign's class reunion was definitely the right choice!

“Is that woman really your girlfriend, Lin Fan?”

Gazing at Long Yue's exquisitely beautiful face and her perfect figure that would make any woman jealous, Huang Shiying felt a sense of disbelief.

She had always considered her own beauty to outshine all the other women in the hall, but in front of this woman, she felt a frustrating sense of inferiority!

Long Yue wasn't even wearing a formal gown or dress, just a cheap pair of pants and a shirt that cost around a hundred yuan. She looked like she didn't even know how to dress up, yet her entire being exuded an otherworldly and elegant aura.

If this woman were to dress up even a little, she couldn't even imagine how beautiful she would be…!

Noticing that many of the men present were also secretly watching Long Yue, in that instant, a heart full of unwilling and indignant jealousy completely filled Huang Shiying.

Ever since she was young, she had always been the prettiest girl in her class, the campus belle. Countless men had liked her and pursued her, and tons of them were willing to spend money on her.

Beauty was her greatest source of pride. For its sake, she meticulously took care of herself every year, spending vast sums of money to maintain her face, buying all sorts of brand-name cosmetics, and hiring professional beauty consultants.

And now, some woman who had appeared out of nowhere had just stolen her thunder!

But what was even harder for her to accept was that such a devastatingly beautiful woman was Lin Fan's woman?!

As his ex-girlfriend, she was actually inferior to his current girlfriend!

How could a poor schmuck like Lin Fan possibly find a woman more beautiful than her!

Lin Fan was originally hesitating about whether he should explain, but when he saw the jealous, twisted expression on Huang Shiying's face, he changed his mind and calmly admitted:

“That's right. She's the woman I brought back.”

“We've been living together for a while now.”

Long Yue was indeed the woman he had brought back from the Immortal-Demon Continent, and they had indeed been living together for some time. So what he said wasn't technically a lie…

Of course, to the ears of others, these words meant something else entirely.

A woman he brought back from another place, and they're living together... if she's not his girlfriend, then what is she?

In that instant, almost all the men around couldn't help but cast envious and jealous gazes at Lin Fan.

Clearly, many of them were doing much better in life than Lin Fan, so how could he find such a beautiful wife!

“I don't believe it!”

“What proof do you have that she's your girlfriend?”

Huang Shiying demanded with a frown.

A woman as beautiful as Long Yue was enough to make the vast majority of men in the world fall for her. She couldn't for the life of her understand why she would choose to be with Lin Fan, who had no money and no power.

It made no sense!

“Hmph, you want proof, do you? Then open your eyes and watch closely.”

Lin Fan let out a cold snort, slowly rose from his seat, walked straight over to Long Yue's side, wrapped an arm around her waist, and called out in a soft voice:

“Honey~”

Long Yue: “...(⊙_⊙)??? Hah?!”
