Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

You Mingyue and Chu Zimu’s wedding was set for the first day of the sixth lunar month.

As the wedding date approached, You Mingyue was extremely busy. She had to shoot endorsement commercials, attend business events, and also find time to take wedding photos and choose wedding banquet dresses...

Though her days were hectic, they were fulfilling, and the future was promising.

Earlier, Chu Zimu had invited a well-known wedding dress designer from Country Y to create a luxurious custom dress for You Mingyue, which was finally delivered to Yujiang City one week before the wedding.

You Mingyue stayed busy until the evening before having the chance to try on the dress, accompanied by Chu Zimu.

Since it was tailored for her, the dress perfectly fit You Mingyue’s figure. Standing in front of the full-length mirror in the dress, she gazed at the delicate and charming woman with flawless skin reflected back, tears brimming in her eyes.

After waiting all these years, she finally wore a wedding dress.

She was about to fulfill her childhood dream, to marry Chu Zimu, and become the young mistress of the Chu Family.

How could she not be excited?

The staff surrounded her, unable to resist taking pictures. Having attended a business event earlier in the day, her hair and makeup were perfect, and she cooperated with them willingly.

”Miss You, this wedding dress suits you so well; you truly look like a princess!”

”Indeed, in all my years, I’ve never seen a bride more beautiful than Miss You.”

”Miss You, wishing you a happy marriage in advance.”

Soothed by the flattery and compliments from the staff, You Mingyue’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

She lifted the heavy train of her gown, walked to Chu Zimu’s side, and softly called, ”Brother Chu.”

Chu Zimu turned, his gaze locking onto the sight of You Mingyue in her bridal gown. After a moment of stunned silence, he sincerely sighed, ”You are truly beautiful.”

Seeing this, the staff quietly left the scene.

Feeling immensely delighted, You Mingyue said, ”I’m about to become Brother Chu’s bride. It feels like I’m dreaming, so unreal. Brother Chu, pinch me.”

”Silly girl.”

Chu Zimu gently tapped her nose and said, ”I should have met you earlier, so that I could have brought you home sooner.”

But in reality, Chu Zimu had seen You Mingyue back in high school.

However, his eyes were only on that Xu Xingguang, completely overlooking You Mingyue’s existence.

But it didn’t matter; in the end, the one smiling was still her.

After trying on the dress, Chu Zimu and You Mingyue returned directly to their love nest. As soon as they entered, Chu Zimu passionately wrapped his arms around You Mingyue’s waist, pinning her against the wall for a kiss.

He had wanted to do this ever since he saw her in the bridal gown.

An intoxicating, dreamlike lovemaking session left them both breathless.

You Mingyue lay weakly on the bed, instinctively picking up her phone to check the time, only to see a push notification from Weibo—

She is a young author and a piano prodigy, the ever-changing goddess Xu Xingguang’s debut music album is now released, please click...

After reading the title, the flush on You Mingyue’s face immediately faded away.

Her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Xu Xingguang had actually released a piano album!

How could this be!

Xu Xingguang’s piano skills were mediocre, and she had been in Cangshan Town dating that murderer. When did she sign a contract with a music company and release an album?

Having been overly complacent due to her dual success in career and love, You Mingyue had forgotten about Xu Xingguang.

Who would have thought she’d silently deliver such a big surprise?

Realizing that ”Human World” was Xu Xingguang’s original work and that her own plagiarism might be exposed, You Mingyue felt uneasy.

In an instant, panic, fear, and regret surged in a flood of emotions, like an undercurrent sweeping over her feet, ready to drag her into an abyss.

The more terrified she felt, the more curious she became.

Filled with trepidation, she clicked on the link, eager to hear what Xu Xingguang’s album sounded like.

Upon clicking, she found out it required purchase to listen.

Unlike You Mingyue, Xu Xingguang’s album was priced very low. You Mingyue’s ”Life is Worthwhile,” with six songs, required 19.9 for a genuine album.

But Xu Xingguang’s album was only 9.9.

Moreover, her personal profile stated—

[All net proceeds from this album will be donated to the Alliance Children’s Foundation.]

What did this indicate?

It showed that Xu Xingguang’s album was purely charitable.

In comparison, Xu Xingguang immediately opened up a new dimension.
