Chapter 1697: Untitled Fina didn’t notice the dark glint in Shen Fanxing’s eyes. Instead, she waved her hand nonchalantly.

“What’s so good about that cake? In the past years, there were only a few procedures. It’s better not to cut it since you’re full of anger. That way, you won’t have to see those annoying people again.”

Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “I thought you would find it a pity.”

Fina shook her head. “I’m tired of this kind of birthday… You’re really an interesting person. If it weren’t for you, I would probably continue to be vomited on by these two women until the end of time. Other than you, no one would dare to make those two look so bad. Especially that Bailey. She’ll probably smash her house when she goes back!”

Shen Fanxing lowered her head and scratched the cat’s chin. Seeing the cat purring comfortably with its eyes closed, she couldn’t help but smile. Her voice was calm but casual.

“I’m actually not a good person. I’m petty and vengeful.”

The bedroom fell silent.

A few seconds later, Finan burst out laughing.

Then, there was a long burst of laughter.

“You… you’re indeed an interesting person.”

Shen Fanxing frowned at Fina’s smile.

“Who says that their character is bad? But from what you said, you seem to be quite a scumbag… But I like people like you. Hahaha… You’re much better than those scumbags who pretend to be good in front of others.”

Shen Fanxing nodded and said calmly, “I think so too.”

Finan paused for a few more seconds, then laughed again.

“You… you’re too fun!”

Frightened by Fina’s laughter, the cat snuggled into Shen Fanxing’s embrace. Shen Fanxing comforted it gently.

He welcomed Finan’s laughter and approval.

She didn’t hate such a girl who never hid her emotions.

At the very least, she could not sense any malice from her.

The more she interacted with Shen Fanxing, the more she liked her.

It was rare for her to meet someone she liked so much.

This birthday was simply wonderful.

It turned out that there were many people and things worth exploring in this world.

Although Madam Burgundy had taken the initiative to accept the responsibility and said some official words in an attempt to divert everyone’s attention away from Bailey and Bessi,

Everyone knew that they had to cater to Madam Burgundy.

The chaos in the banquet hall calmed down on the surface, and Bei Lei and Bei Xi took the opportunity to leave.

But in reality, after they left, the topic was still on the two of them.

She was even more unscrupulous than them.

Madam Burgundy didn’t want to face these discussions either. She found an opportunity to look for Fay to continue the birthday banquet.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard Finan’s laughter.

Lady Burgundy was a little surprised. She stood under the flowerbed outside the window and looked up at the lighted windows upstairs, trying to determine if the voice belonged to Finan.

The result was certain.

In all these years, she had never heard her daughter laugh so brightly and crisply. There were no factors involved. Her laughter was pure and it was obvious that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, she would never do that. Not to mention laughter, she had rarely seen a smile on her face.

Especially on her birthday every year, her mood was even worse.

Grandpa doted on his granddaughter, so he would hold a big birthday party every year, hoping that she could make friends and let go of him completely to be happier.

In the end, everything backfired. However, Fina was meticulous and didn’t want to ruin her grandfather’s good intentions. She would attend every birthday banquet and try her best to let the banquet proceed peacefully.

She could tell that her mood had improved since the start of the year. She naturally knew the reason.

Unexpectedly, after inviting the real granddaughter of the royal family, the two princesses, Bei Lei and Bei Xi, came uninvited, causing her mood to plummet.

Back then, she had also felt regretful. After all, she was a princess of the royal family. They could not reject her or chase her out, so it was Finan who had suffered.

But now…

Although there had been a lot of accidents at the banquet tonight, after hearing Fina’s sincere laughter, the anger that had lingered in her heart gradually subsided.

Although the two princesses had really embarrassed themselves tonight, they had asked for it.

After all, Princess Fanxing was the Queen’s biological grandson. They couldn’t tolerate her and had found an opportunity to scheme against her. They had only themselves to blame for being exposed.

Even if this matter was reported to the queen, the two of them wouldn’t be in the right.

Taking a deep breath, she lifted her elegant dress and walked to the entrance of the courtyard. She saw a tall figure standing there, his handsome face filled with displeasure.

“May I ask who you are…”

Lady Burgundy looked at him defensively. After all, this was Fina’s own courtyard. Now that a man had appeared out of nowhere, she, as his mother, had to be more vigilant.

Bo Jinchuan had one hand in his pocket and the other was on his phone. The screen made his features even more handsome.

He looked up at Lady Burgundy with his dark, intimidating eyes.

Then she looked in the direction of Finan’s bedroom. “I’ll wait for my wife.”

Wife… child?

Lady Burgundy paused, understanding.

However…

Was he married to Princess Fanxing?

Why had she never heard of him?

However, she naturally wouldn’t pursue this matter. Seeing that he didn’t look like a lecher, she said,

“It’s cold outside. Do you want to go in and wait?”

Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and said, “It’s getting late.”

Madam Burgundy nodded knowingly. “Then let me remind you.”

Bo Jinchuan nodded calmly and said, “Thank you.”

Mrs. Burgundy had just entered the villa when she saw Fina and Shen Fanxing coming down the stairs.

Shen Fanxing nodded politely at her while Fina pouted and turned her head away angrily.

Knowing that she was here, she couldn’t help but criticize herself.

However, Madam Burgundy only shook her head helplessly and turned to Shen Fanxing.

“Princess… Your husband is waiting for you outside.”

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and glanced at the door.

Considering the temperature outside, she walked out without hesitation.

“Sigh… Sigh…”

Finan called after her, but she did not stop and hurried after him.
