A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1002: Diamond!

After drinking nearly a bottle of strong liquor, Xiang Lanqiu was already somewhat drunk, her cheeks flushed, her lips vibrant, and her eyes moist, looking extraordinarily tempting.Xu Fan swallowed and turned his gaze away, saying coldly, "You’re overthinking."

Xiang Lanqiu raised an eyebrow, "Indeed."

She looked indifferent, as if what she had said was just a spontaneous thought, casually mentioned.

Suddenly, she stood up, her body swaying, but fortunately, she supported herself on the table to avoid falling.

"I’m going to bed, close the door when you leave, and remember to knock next time before coming in."

Without waiting for Xu Fan to speak, she went back to her room.

Xu Fan stood where he was, looking at her back, his gaze incredibly dark.

Online, the feud between Mu Yan and Xiang Lanqiu continued, with public opinion leaning towards Mu Yan.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes; during hard times, all sorts of oddballs jump out to wreak havoc.

Some actresses, who have been struggling for years without much success, started exposing Xiang Lanqiu’s temper and unreasonable demands, acting as though she didn’t care about others.

Those posting this kind of news were easily suspected of riding the wave of popularity, but those actresses didn’t mind; being criticized was fine as long as they could become famous.

Of course, some laughed, claiming Mu Yan never lost a feud, not even against a Best Actress like Xiang Lanqiu.

Others questioned whether Mu Yan was using Xiang Lanqiu as a stepping stone, especially since Mu Yan now starred as the lead in Chen Zhou’s movie, potentially surpassing Xiang Lanqiu.

The two were from the same school, yet feuded, and Song Cheng’an, their "teacher," clearly sided with Mu Yan, angering Xiang Lanqiu’s fans who accused him of favoritism.

Since Mu Yan’s boyfriend had never been revealed, netizens speculated that Song Cheng’an was her mysterious boyfriend.

Amidst these rampant rumors, suddenly a piece of news broke, instantly capturing all attention.

At the recently concluded auction in Geneva, Switzerland, a Chinese tycoon purchased a 25-carat pink diamond and a 20-carat blue-purple diamond for 40 million dollars and 80 million dollars respectively.

million combined with 80 million dollars equals nearly eight hundred million yuan, a figure considered astronomical by many.

It would be astounding enough to spend such an amount on consumables, let alone on two small stones; a definite display of wealth.

While the world does not lack wealthy individuals, poverty limits people’s imagination; usually, such purchases elicit minimal reaction.

But the key point was that the buyer of these two diamonds was Upper City’s most eligible bachelor, Jiang Jingheng.

Especially as the news included Jiang Jingheng’s handsome photo, instantly captivating numerous admirers, though his fans felt somewhat frustrated knowing he was already taken.

No need to guess who those priceless diamonds were for; female fans envied his girlfriend and future wife to death.

After the news broke, Jiang Jingheng’s social media was flooded.

"Hubby, did you buy the diamonds to propose to me? {wink} I’ll consider it."

"Such beautiful diamonds, hubby, thank you, love you, mua~"

"All you performers above are exposed, end of assessment!"

"I just want to know who this woman sitting on eight hundred million is, step out, I promise not to dig into your corner!"

...

The woman soon to possess eight hundred million was sweetly asleep, completely unaware of the happenings online.

In her dream, a romantic wedding was taking place, the groom exchanging rings with the bride, followed by a kiss and embrace.
