“No, I’m not interested in rumors. Besides, who knows if rumors are true or not?” Zoya said.
Wren’s eyes darkened slightly. He thought, ‘Is she not interested in rumors, or not interested in me?’
“What if some of the rumors are true?” Wren said.
“What?” Zoya was startled.

Wren looked at Zoya, “For example, people from the Richmond family are a bit abnormal, including me. What if I told you that such rumors are true?”
“Do you have a mental illness?” Zoya asked seriously.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wren’s eyes. He had originally thought that upon hearing this, she would show some hesitation, or even, he would see disgust on her face.
But he didn’t expect the first question she asked after hearing it to be this.
“No,” he replied.
“Since that’s not the case, then you’re normal. Human personalities are inherently diverse. What others say is their business. If you think you’re abnormal, then that’s truly abnormal,” Zoya said.
Wren’s eyes flickered slightly.
Ever since he met her, she had always treated him like an ordinary man.
She didn’t look at him with flattery, greed, or fear like other women, but simply treated him like a normal person.
Wren chuckled softly. “You’re right. It would only be truly abnormal if I considered myself abnormal.
“In the future, if you want to know anything about the Richmond family or me, you can ask me directly. You don’t need to find out through others.”
Zoya gave Wren a strange look. She felt that she had no need to know anything about Wren or the Richmond family.
After all, that had nothing to do with her.
However, she didn’t speak, so Wren didn’t continue the conversation on this topic.
The car arrived at a high-end beauty and styling club in Marabotara.
Zoya got out of the car with Wren.
The staff was already waiting and led Zoya to choose a dress. Meanwhile, Wren sat on a lounge sofa, casually flipping through the club’s brochure.
The brochure featured pictures of various beautiful models wearing different gowns.
Such brochures made it convenient for guests to select their dresses.
As Wren looked at the pictures in the brochure, his eyes remained calm and unruffled.

He was never short of beautiful women showing him affection, but he had no interest in them.
Many even speculated that he had an unusual sex orientation.
Only he understood that he had no interest in either men or women.

Yet, he developed an interest in Zoya. From the very first time she held a dinner knife to his neck, to their subsequent interactions, this interest seemed to grow increasingly beyond his control.
Zoya was not strikingly beautiful, but the heroic spirit in her, complementing her delicate face, gave her an air of fortitude.
Despite her slender figure and being a head shorter than him, being by her side inexplicably brought a sense of peace.
Suddenly, footsteps approached. Zoya had changed into a dress and appeared before Wren.
It was an ankle-length, single-slit black gown, very ordinary in color, and indeed a practical and discreet choice.
Yet, it left him feeling astonished.
His gaze seemed fixed on her face.
For the party tomorrow, this dress will do,” Zoya said, walking up to Wren.
As she walked, the slit in her dress caused her right leg to be tantalizingly revealed with each sway of the skirt.
Wren’s brows suddenly furrowed slightly. He thought that if she wore this dress tomorrow, many people would likely see her
egs.
He was originally going to agree, but he forced himself to change his words. “How about we change to another one?”
Change to another one?” Zoya was slightly stunned.
Wren picked out a dress from a booklet nearby, one that would completely cover her body. “How about this one?” he asked.
she thought, ‘Wearing such a dress, if real danger came, I might trip over and fall!’
She asked, “Is there something wrong about the one I chose?”
it wasn’t unsuitable. On the contrary, it suited her very well. But precisely because it suited her, he was afraid that too many people would notice her beauty, and that other men would develop an interest in her.
Wren fell silent, startled by the thought that had just flashed through his mind.
He had never cared about how women dressed or whether it would attract others’ attention.
But facing Zoya, he felt uneasy, fearing she would attract other men, and that her attention would be stolen by them.
“If there is nothing wrong, then I’ll still wear the outfit I chose for tomorrow,” Zoya insisted.
Just as she turned to change her clothes, Wren’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
He said, “Zoya, it seems I care about you more than I though.”
“What?” Zoya turned around, thinking she had misheard.
“Nothing.” Wren smiled faintly, the slight curve of his lips seeming to soften the indifference that usually marked his face.

The next evening, Zoya accompanied Wren to a party.
This party was hosted by the Marabotara Chamber of Commerce.
The invited guests were primarily government officials involved in island development, along with wealthy businesspeople and notable figures from Marabotara.
Wren was naturally among the invited guests, as the Richmond family would also participate in the island’s development. this time.
Zoya held Wren’s arm, accompanying him as he exchanged pleasantries with some influential figures at the party.
As she and Wren walked towards the center of the party, an incredibly familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her. “Zoya!”
She stopped in her tracks and thought, “This voice…
Zoya slowly turned around and saw Nicolas a few steps away from her, with Jasmine standing beside him.
“Why are you here? And with…” His gaze complexly scrutinized Zoya and Wren.
When he saw Zoya just now, he thought he was seeing things.
He had never seen Zoya dressed like this. It was just a simple black gown, but on her, it looked elegant and sharp, exuding a rare charm.
Her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck and complementing her valiant face, which left him somewhat stunned.
But what shocked him even more was Wren standing beside Zoya.
He thought, ‘Wasn’t she taking her parents’ ashes back to Marabotara? How could she be with Wren?
‘Or did she divorce so resolutely back then because she wanted to be with Wren?’
Nicolas felt a pang of discomfort at the thought.
Jasmine, standing nearby, looked at Zoya with disdain. “You were so eager to divorce Nicolas back then, turns out you’re just a gold-digger.
“I thought you’d have some sense, given your parents were martyrs, but it seems I overestimated you…”
Before Jasmine could finish speaking, a slap landed directly on her face, causing her to stumble and nearly fall.
She watched in shock as Wren slowly pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket and deliberately wiped the fingers of his right hand.
“It seems you enjoy gossiping. Care to say more?” Wren said slowly.
Jasmine’s body stiffened. That slap just now was from Wren.
