Chapter 70: 70 My fiancée has an introverted personality, she's rather timid

70 My fiancée has an introverted personality, she's rather timid.

"Hot search? What hot search?"

Tushan Jiu muttered a sentence, then opened the microblog.

The top three hot searches read: "The mysterious girlfriend of a certain cultivation top star."

Next was "Cultivation top star and girlfriend's barbecue restaurant date."

"Unveiling the mysterious girlfriend of a certain top star with a two‑character Bai surname."

Tushan Jiu was speechless the moment she saw the headline.

No need to read further; this is just her and Bai Yu having been photographed while eating.

Following the usual pattern, Sun Ying, who was sitting beside Bai Yu at the time, would surely have "disappeared" automatically.

She sat up on the bed and replied to Lin Xiu'er's message.

【It's fine, Bai Yu just got photographed while introducing me to a client, taken out of context.】

Everyone who knows her knows she has a fiancé, so she doesn't need to explain.

Lin Xiu'er replied instantly.

【Is that what I mean? Look below—your fiancé is there declaring sovereignty! Huh~ How enviable!】

Tushan Jiu: "???"

She scrolled down.

The fourth hot search, with an enlarged red "hot" character.

"Xie Clan Group CEO's domineering announcement."

"Fifth: Could it be a mix‑up? Bai Yu's rumored girlfriend is actually the fiancée of the Xie Clan Group CEO."

"Sixth: The Xie Clan Group's official V steps in to clarify, announcing dominantly, 'That's our future boss lady.'"

Tushan Jiu didn't click on those few items about her and Bai Yu, but she did click on these.

Especially Xie Shiyu's personal account—she clicked into it right away.

Seeing the clear statement above:

"Sorry for taking up public resources; Xie's fiancé was just having a meal with a friend. I hope any false reports will be deleted immediately before work ends tomorrow, otherwise the Legal Department of the Xie Clan Group will contact you."

Tushan Jiu scrolled down further; there was another line of small text below.

She read it aloud in a low voice: "Note: My fiancée has an introverted personality, she's rather timid; I don't want to see anything about her online at all."

After reading, she smiled, her eyes bright: "Tch, who's timid? It's not like you haven't seen me catch ghosts bare‑handed and punch demons with my fists."

She followed Xie Shiyu's account and the Xie Clan Group's official microblog, and liked both statements.

Because her identity and profession aren't convenient for public exposure, otherwise every move would be endlessly magnified, making it inconvenient for her to handle affairs later.

So Xie Shiyu still understands her.

She replied to Lin Xiu'er, who had reminded her: "I'll take your envy, thanks—I'll get you milk tea tomorrow when I go to the office."

"You're coming to the office tomorrow? Introduced by Bai Yu? What's the deal this time?"

Tushan Jiu didn't spoil it, sending a mysterious emoticon.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"Alright, be careful—see you at the office tomorrow."

Sun Ying had called earlier that morning.

He said that shortly after he got home last night, that stone came looking for him again.

He had already, per Tushan Jiu's instructions, made an appointment with him: at nine o'clock in the evening he was to bring that City God statue to his house to carve the statue's eyes.

After dinner, at half past six in the evening, Xie Shiyu drove out with Tushan Jiu.

Sun Ying's home is in a high‑end residential complex in the city center.

This complex is quite private, with one household per elevator.

Sun Ying had come down early to wait for the two of them.

After meeting them, the three went upstairs.

After entering, Sun Ying went to pour water for them and told them to sit wherever they liked.

Just as the water cups were set before them, the video doorbell at the entrance rang.

Hearing the doorbell, Sun Ying froze in place.

Tushan Jiu frowned, moved her fingers, and said with an expression of speechlessness: "Open the door—it's not the stone, it's Bai Yu, who's useless but loves to play."

Sun Ying instantly breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the door, feeling as if a weight had been lifted.

Outside, Bai Yu was still dressed thoroughly.

As soon as he stepped inside, Tushan Jiu spoke up: "Don't you have any announcements? You're so free— the hot search hype hasn't died down, aren't you afraid of being surrounded?"

Bai Yu took off his disguises one by one, exhaled, then said with a grin: "I'm not just here to join the fun—I haven't even seen a stone spirit yet. Besides, your fiancé is so capable; he's spoken up, and I'm riding on his coattails."

"But he said you're timid—are you really sure? She's timid?"

Hearing Bai Yu's teasing, Tushan Jiu's face involuntarily warmed.

I don't know why, but hearing those four words 'your fiancé' from others in this teasing way makes me feel inexplicably shy.

Xie Shiyu glanced at Bai Yu, smiled faintly, and said: "Compared to you, my Jiujiu really isn't timid."

Upon hearing that, Bai Yu's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, then he pursed his lips and said through gritted teeth: "You two really are something—birds of a feather flock together."

Their mouths are poisonous!

Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu raised their eyebrows in unison, not denying it.

Sun Ying watched from the side as they interacted easily, and his previously tense nerves gradually relaxed.

The agreed time was nine o'clock in the evening.

But that Stone Reef couldn't wait any longer.

He came to knock on the door before eight o'clock.

Perhaps Sun Ying had agreed to him, whereupon he regained his former politeness and even knew not to force his way in.

He knocked twice on the door and shouted from outside: "Old Brother Sun, open the door, I've brought the City God statue."

Inside the door,

Seeing the guest room door closed, Sun Ying took a deep breath and opened the door.

Looking at the smiling Stone Reef, Sun Ying's hairs stood on end.

How had he failed to notice before how stiff his facial expression was?

He swallowed, stepped aside, and said, "Come in."

"Mm, good, give me a hand."

The two of them—oh, no, make that one person and one stone spirit—carried the statue into the house.

With a bang, the door closed.

Sun Ying glanced, said nothing, and went to the guest room to get the carving tools.

The Stone Reef directly opened the cloth covering the statue and said earnestly: "If you'd done this earlier, it would have been fine. Rest assured, given our relationship, once I've enjoyed enough incense and achieved true fruition, I will surely bless your family with great wealth and honor, and fill your bowls and basins to overflowing."

Sun Ying, returning from the guest room, secretly rolled his eyes.

Now this monster even learned to make empty promises like humans?

He glanced at the guest room door, which he had deliberately left ajar.

Just now, Miss Tu Shan told him to follow the Stone Reef's instructions and carve eyes onto the City God statue.

Although he didn't understand why, obeying was always the right thing to do.

So he ignored the Stone Reef's chatter, picked up his tools, and began carving the City God's eyes.
