Stuck in you

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows and gazed up at Jack in confusion. "Why should I be afraid?"

After a moment's silence, he changed the topic. "Will you hate it?"

"What?"

"Will you hate attending banquets like this, in the name of Mrs. Fu? All of them will come up to you and propose a toast."

She pouted, "But I can't drink."

"If you don't feel like—"

"I'll be fine," she quickly interrupted, giving him the largest smile she could ever possibly give. "Am I a person with no guts?"

Understanding what she meant, Jack smiled and held her hand. "Of course not, Mrs. Fu."

As expected, there were tons of people coming to the banquet. In fact, they were so many that she didn't know every single one of them.

Although they were familiar with Jack, the man had treated them quite indifferently.

Before they could ask who she was, he already taken the initiative to introduce her. "This is my wife, Rachel Shen."

She smiled at them gently, pretending not to notice their different expressions.

Many looked like they were startled. Rachel thought it was funny.

Luckily, the banquet went smoothly. The host was incredibly influential, so even Jack had to show his respects. He couldn't leave until the banquet was over.

Rachel didn't drink any alcohol, while Jack had already taken quite a few glasses.

The crowds just kept on coming.

Knowing that Mrs. Fu was present in the banquet, they all neared Jack to try and find who the lucky woman was.

After seeing them, they found that the two were a perfect match.

Jack introduced her to everyone that they had bumped into that she was his wife, confirming all the rumors on the Internet. Even then, they still couldn't help but be in awe of such an accomplishment.

How could Jack have gotten married so suddenly? There wasn't even a wedding? Did his family not like her? Or was she pregnant?

All sorts of guesses ran through their minds.

Soon enough, the word spread, and more and more questions arose.

There were a lot of people who seemed to be inquiring about Rachel's background as well.

Given that she wasn't popular in the business circle or the entertainment circle, everyone wanted to know exactly who she was.

Rachel, being naive of that sort of thing, couldn't really see the gossip and questions behind their taut glares. What she saw was everyone's curious gaze.
