The Extravagant Alpha And The Cold Movie Queen’s Fake Act Became Real - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: She lifted her foot and rubbed it suggestively.

Ruan Siyi was so startled by her bold words that she shivered all over. In her panic, she forgot she was still kissing Fu Ru’an and accidentally bit down with her teeth.

“Tsk—”

Fu Ru’an, suddenly bitten, narrowed her eyes and slowly pulled away from Ruan Siyi. She turned to roll down the car window and called out to the little girl outside who was tugging hard on the Samoyed.

“Fu Yini.”

Fu Yini, nicknamed “Yuni,” wasn’t Fu Ru’an’s direct niece—after all, Fu Yunxi only had one daughter. She was the child of Fu Ru’an’s maternal aunt’s daughter.

Fu Yuni, being called out so sternly by her little aunt, immediately quieted down, pouting but not daring to speak.

Only then did Ruan Siyi get a good look at her.

The little girl was dressed in a trendy outfit.

Her hair was tied into two small tufts at the sides of her head, resembling feather dusters, with a few loose strands braided into tiny pigtails hanging over her shoulders.

Over a dozen brightly colored hair clips with dangling beads adorned the side of her hair. Her nose was framed by a pair of glasses with flashy, jewel-encrusted frames. She wore a high-saturation pink hoodie paired with vintage-washed ripped denim shorts, a metallic belt buckle dangling chains over a sky-blue belt.

Despite it being summer, she wore a pair of fluffy leg warmers that matched the Samoyed beside her.

“Why are you calling me by my full name all of a sudden, Little Auntie?” Fu Yini stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, the beads on her head clinking noisily. “It’s not like I meant to walk in on you two! Blame this stupid dog if anything!”

Ruan Siyi couldn’t tell if she was genuinely talking about the unruly Samoyed or subtly mocking her.

“A freshly graduated elementary schooler knows this much?”

Ruan Siyi was genuinely shocked.

Back when she was in college, she was still clueless about such things.

It was only recently, through some secret studying—both theoretical and practical—that she’d enriched her knowledge in this area.

“She used to live in the U.S. with her mom. The education system there is different—they start s3x ed as early as fourth grade,” Fu Ru’an explained, then suddenly remembered something. She pushed the car door open, stepped out, and pinched Fu Yuni’s ear.

“Yuni, did your teacher not only teach you biology but also teach you about doing it in cars?”

Fu Yuni, once her ear was pinched, seemed as if her lifeblood had been seized. She immediately started wailing.

She guiltily explained, “Well… that was extracurricular knowledge.”

Seeing Fu Ru’an still staring at her coldly, she reluctantly spilled the truth.

“Fine, fine! It was Danica! When I went to her place to play, she kept babbling about how she saw her neighbor’s car shaking in the yard while she was climbing the fence. She said the people inside were doing it.”

Fu Ru’an sighed imperceptibly after hearing her explanation. She released her grip and instead patted her fluffy head.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t learn normal knowledge about protecting yourself. But you’re still too young. You should avoid these overly stimulating and sensational topics.”

Ruan Siyi, who had just rolled up the window, locked the car, and stepped out: “…”

Stimulating. Sensational.

Calling me out, huh?

“I got it, Little Auntie,” Fu Yini nodded obediently, then grabbed Fu Ru’an’s hand. “Let’s go inside together!”

Fu Ru’an, however, stopped and extended her other hand to Ruan Siyi.

“Hold onto me. Don’t get lost again, Ruan Ruan.”

Ruan Siyi found the phrasing a bit odd—she wasn’t a child, how could she get lost?

But she eagerly latched onto Fu Ru’an’s hand, sneakily interlacing their fingers.

The Fu family was indeed a wealthy, aristocratic household. From the garage, a long corridor led into the villa’s living room.

The corridor was lined with antique wooden latticework, adorned with a few ink paintings that exuded a classical Eastern charm.

Upon entering the living room, the space opened up dramatically.

Under the bright glow of a crystal chandelier, Fu Yunxi was engaged in casual conversation with a few elders, discussing everything from Fu Corporation’s stock prices to the season’s new releases. The moment she spotted the trio entering, she paused.

“You’re here.”

A statement phrased as a question.

Fu Yunxi had only just learned of her daughter’s return and had rushed to the old mansion, still dressed in her sharp business suit.

The suit accentuated her tall, straight figure—expensive fabric, precise tailoring, mirroring her calm, decisive demeanor in the business world.

There was no denying she and Fu Ru’an were mother and daughter. Their eyes carried the same formidable aura—

Except Fu Ru’an’s aloofness stemmed from an innate detachment, like an unapproachable iceberg. Fu Yunxi, however, was deeper, sharper, like a heavy sword honed by time, exuding the oppressive authority of someone long accustomed to power.

Fu Ru’an tightened her grip on Ruan Siyi’s hand.

“Yes.”

Her reply was curt, as if she had no desire to exchange another word with Fu Yunxi.

“Xiao Ruan is here too?”

Fu Yunxi didn’t seem bothered. Her voice was low and steady, laced with scrutiny.

Her gaze shifted from Fu Ru’an to Ruan Siyi, piercing like a spotlight, leaving no room to hide.

The Fu elders on the sofa all turned to look, their eyes filled with appraisal.

Under these strange, probing stares, Ruan Siyi felt as if needles were pricking her back, stiff and uncomfortable.

Of course. Any gathering involving elders inevitably turned into this suffocating spectacle.

From parent-teacher conferences in childhood to family reunions in adulthood.

One of the elders beside Fu Yunxi suddenly scoffed, her sharp eyes flitting between Ruan Siyi and Fu Ru’an, dripping with disdain.

She spoke slowly, “It’s been so long since the wedding, and only now do you come back to the Fu family? The Fu name still matters. Since you’re married now, Xiao Ruan—as a low-born alpha marrying into the family—you ought to learn some manners. Don’t embarrass us in front of outsiders.”

Her tone feigned concern but was laced with barbs, oozing skepticism and scorn, as if implying Ruan Siyi was utterly unworthy of the Fu name.

Ruan Siyi fell silent for a moment before bluntly asking,

“And you are…?”

Yu Yuzhen’s face darkened instantly, as if slapped. Her lips trembled with anger as she turned to Fu Ru’an.

“Xiao Fu, is this the spouse you carefully picked out? Where are her manners?”

Her voice was icy, laced with reproach.

“When those old-fashioned Fu elders opposed you becoming the heir, I was the one who stood up for you—despite you presenting as an omega. And now your spouse dares to speak to me like this?”

Fu Ru’an frowned. Before she could respond, Fu Yuni cut in impatiently.

“Great-Great-Auntie Yu, the Qing Dynasty fell ages ago. Why are you still acting so high and mighty?” Fu Yuni emphasized the word “step,” making Yu Yuzhen’s face turn green. “Besides, my Little Auntie is amazing. She’d have been the heir with or without your support! And Sister Ruan Ruan… well, she’s alright, I guess.”

Yu Yuzhen’s brows twitched with fury, her face twisting with barely suppressed rage. But she was left speechless. Fu Yuni had ruthlessly dismantled her self-important “contributions,” shattering her condescending superiority.

“Xiao Xi, is this what you call a family gathering?!” She glared at Fu Yunxi. “If this is how it is, I’d rather not attend!”

Fu Yunxi glanced at her coolly, her gaze devoid of warmth. She waved a hand dismissively.

“In that case, someone show my stepmother the way out.”

Attendants immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully as they gestured for Yu Yuzhen to leave.

Ruan Siyi: “?!”

She was stunned by the scene, blinking before whispering to Fu Ru’an, “This is your family gathering? So… direct?”

This Fu CEO was too ruthless!

“Mn.” Fu Ru’an nodded slightly. “She’s… always been like this. If you’d said a few more words, you’d have been kicked out too. Then you’d really know how direct she is.”

Ruan Siyi immediately shut her mouth.

Not because she was actually afraid of being thrown out—she knew Fu Ru’an was teasing her.

But ever since entering the Fu mansion, Fu Ru’an’s mood had been off.

She didn’t know why, but it was better to stay quiet.

Yu Yuzhen’s exit caused no ripples—at least not for Fu Yunxi.

She leisurely adjusted the pearl cufflinks on her sleeves and stood.

“Let’s eat.”

The Fu family… was really lifeless.

Especially at the dinner table.

Ruan Siyi chewed listlessly on her abalone, silently critiquing.

What era was this? Family dinners where—

No talking was allowed!

Even Fu Yuni, the little firecracker, kept her head down, silently shoveling food into her mouth.

Growing up in such an environment, no wonder Fu Ru’an became the untouchable ice queen of the entertainment industry.

All that repression since childhood!

She wrinkled her nose, bored, and could only stare at the beads and flashy glasses on Fu Yuni’s head.

Her phone buzzed under the table.

Ruan Siyi sneakily pulled it into her lap. A friend request from Fu Yuni.

She glanced over—no wonder the kid was eating with her head so low. She was secretly on her phone under the table.

Ruan Siyi quickly accepted.

[Taro Cheese Ball]: What’s your problem, Ruan Siyi?! Why are you staring at my head?! You’re the worst! That’s so rude!!

[Blanket Explorer]: I was just wondering about those beads and diamonds… Are they real? I saw the same ones on Pinduoduo for 0.5 yuan a box with coupons.

[Taro Cheese Ball]: Who do you think you’re looking down on?! Those are all real! My mommy bought them for me at auctions—each one! They’re worth hundreds of millions combined!

Wow.

She was wearing hundreds of millions on her head.

Just as she was about to reply, “No wonder each one sparkles so much,” her breath hitched.

Her thigh tingled with awareness.

Under the table, Fu Ru’an’s foot was rubbing suggestively against her inner thigh. She could even feel the slipper nudging her rhythmically.

A notification popped up at the top of her screen.

[Sister Fu]: Who’s so important that you’re too busy to look at me?

Her half-typed reply to Fu Yuni—”No wonder, dumb—” was accidentally sent mid-thought.

[Blanket Explorer]: (Reply to Taro Cheese Ball) No wonder, dumbass.
