Chapter 343: Chapter 232: Dragon King Returns: My Fiancée You Can’t Afford to Mess With

Capital City. It was chilly today.

But even in this kind of weather, where you couldn’t help but tuck your hands in your sleeves, the campus still held sights that made people stop and stare.

"Wow, she’s so beautiful."

"Yeah, she really is the campus belle of North Normal University."

"She’s not even wearing much makeup, but her aura is just undeniable in a crowd."

"She looks even better in person than in the photos on the BBS. Absolutely stunning."

"Stop staring, stop staring. Haven’t you heard? She even has a fiancé. Wears the engagement ring every day."

A few guys and girls on the side of the path discussed this in hushed voices.

Shen Yu lowered her head, mortified, and quickened her pace...

Beside her, Xu Juan held back a laugh and said, "Did you hear that? Your Highness, the campus belle, they said you’re beautiful."

Shen Yu sighed helplessly. "I’ve been so busy lately, I feel like I’ve been dressing like a slob. What part of me is beautiful?"

Hearing this, Xu Juan rolled her eyes dramatically. "Shen Xiaoyu, don’t you think that sounds infuriating? Are you saying that you can throw on some sloppy clothes, tie your hair up randomly, and still be the campus belle? How are the rest of us normal people supposed to live? You’re just trying to show off, aren’t you?!"

Shen Yu froze for a moment, then quickly waved her hands. "Ah... that’s not what I meant!"

Xu Juan couldn’t help but laugh.

Eating, sleeping, and teasing Shen Yu... life was endlessly amusing...

She leaned in close and whispered in Shen Yu’s ear, "But, I have to say, after those few wild days with your Dr. Jiang in Capital City, your aura has really changed, Shen Xiaoyu."

Shen Yu: "!!" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Her cheeks instantly flushed beet red. She stammered as she tried to push Xu Juan away. "What do you mean my aura has changed! Y-You, stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Juan let out a wicked cackle. "You’re sexier, more mature. You have that womanly charm, you know? Fess up, those few nights in the hotel, did you two...?"

"Ah! We really didn’t!" Shen Yu shook her head frantically.

"Really? Then how come I saw so many pairs of stockings in your bag all of a sudden? All kinds of styles, too."

An image instantly flashed through Shen Yu’s mind: herself in a silk nightgown and stockings, sitting on Jiang He’s lap and squirming around...

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Xu Juan, shut up!!!"

The two of them started playfully wrestling on the side of the path.

To the onlookers, this scene only made Shen Yu seem all the more charming.

One of the guys covered his face and laughed. "She must have heard me compliment her and gotten shy. Aww... it’s just... you know?"

The others couldn’t be bothered with him, all thinking the same thing:

’Just what lucky bastard gets to have her?’

After messing around for a bit, the two of them ran into a casual Western-style cafe just off campus.

It wasn’t cold inside the cafe. Shen Yu took off her coat and let out a long breath.

Lately, she had pretty much blown up overnight at North Normal University.

It all started because of some silly "campus belle" poll on the school’s BBS forum.

Someone had secretly taken a photo of Shen Yu’s side profile as she looked down at a book in the library and posted it.

The photo shot straight to first place by a landslide, leaving the other candidates thousands of votes behind.

Shen Yu’s evaluation of this sudden attention could be summed up in four words: "Too much free time."

She really was busy.

After learning about Jiang He’s ambitious goal of curing pancreatic cancer, she hadn’t let herself relax for a single moment.

She buried herself in medical psychology and related medical texts at the library, all so she could truly help Jiang He in the future.

If it weren’t for Xu Juan, her "health supervisor," who watched her every day and dragged her off to eat and sleep on time, Shen Yu’s schedule would have probably started to mirror Jiang He’s long ago.

The two of them found a window seat and sat down.

After ordering, Shen Yu propped her chin on one hand, her brow slightly furrowed.

"What’s wrong? Still bothered?" Xu Juan asked.

Shen Yu sighed. "How could I not be? I could deal with it if it was just online chatter, but now people are starting to affect me in real life. When I went to the study hall this morning, someone came up to confess their feelings again. I just don’t get it. I’m wearing my engagement ring so conspicuously. Are they blind?"

"It just means you’re that charming. Besides, who believes a ring these days? Everyone just assumes it’s an excuse to ward off suitors."

"Then what should I do? I’m serious, this is really affecting my study efficiency."

"Affecting your study efficiency? Or are you just afraid your Dr. Jiang will find out and get jealous?"

"Xu Juan! If you keep this up, I’m going to start talking about Chen Hao!"

"I surrender, I surrender~"

Just as they were speaking, a few guys walked in, talking and laughing.

The guy in the middle immediately caught the attention of many people in the cafe.

"It’s senior Liang Chen."

"The student council president... so handsome..."

Liang Chen.

A fourth-year star student at North Normal University’s School of Economics and Management. His family ran an international trade business in Capital City, so he had money and connections, and his own grades were outstanding.

Every gesture he made carried a sense of composure—and a whiff of arrogance—that set him apart from his peers.

Liang Chen scanned the cafe, his gaze landing on Shen Yu as if by chance.

The girls at the next table couldn’t help but watch with envious eyes as he walked toward Shen Yu.

Someone even muttered under their breath:

"The two of them together would be a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Whether it was Jiang He or Shen Yu, both were so exceptional that they never lacked for admirers, which also led many people to try and play matchmaker for them.

Different cities, same situation...

Liang Chen walked over to their table, his voice gentle. "Shen Yu, Xu Juan, what a coincidence. Mind if I join you?"

In reality, there were several empty tables nearby.

Shen Yu said, "I do mind."

Liang Chen just laughed, shamelessly taking off his overcoat and draping it over the back of a chair. "You’re so humorous. Oh, by the way, I heard you’ve been practically living in the library lately? You should balance work and rest. The temperature in Capital City has dropped a lot, so be careful not to catch a cold."
