Ninth class citizen

Chapter 347 His Fiancée

Nan Rong glanced at Tian Li without showing any emotion, her face completely innocent.

"Come here," the latter transmitted again, taking a step to the left and pulling Nan Rong to his previous position.

Nan Rong didn't want to do something that would make people hate her, but the welcoming guests who bowed and looked up were all staring intently at them, so it wouldn't be appropriate to delay any longer.

More importantly, she was certain that, given the Demon King's uncompromising nature, if she stubbornly refused, he could simply walk away without them, trampling the girl's feelings underfoot.

He had the ability and the means, but she was still somewhat soft-hearted.

Tiffany felt a lightness in her hand as the bouquet was taken from her.

She had already adjusted her mood and expression while bowing, and now she raised her head, revealing her purest and most gentle smile.

But that smile froze when he realized that the person in front of him had become Nan Rong.

"Brother Tianli?" She couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "These are special flowers that I carefully purchased for you from various star regions of the Federation. I even picked out the most beautiful one that had just bloomed from each variety. I put a lot of thought into them. How can you just give them to that woman like this?"

The term "that woman" is a common, derogatory term used in the Commonwealth language family.

Tiffany herself never imagined that she would address someone like that one day, and she never expected that Tianli would give her the cold shoulder in public because of that address.

"Oh? And who are you to call my fiancée—that woman?"

Tian Li's voice was not loud, and his tone was indifferent, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

A first-class citizen of the Federation, a ninth-order spacetime controller, the youngest president in history, and the invincible commander-in-chief, His Majesty Tian Li, has actually publicly admitted that he has a fiancée and even introduced her to everyone in public!

Moreover, the woman was not from one of the nine great families, and her identity remained unknown!

Compared to this explosive news, the president's merciless reprimand of the beautiful and charming Miss Tiffany became secondary.

The next second, the crowd erupted in a frenzy, and the entire Starport was in an uproar.

Countless people began searching for information about this woman by her appearance on the StarNet through various channels.

This information is not a secret, or rather, no one intended to keep it secret; it can be easily retrieved.

It turns out that this woman was the new student of the Federal Gene Optimization Academy who was kidnapped by the Equality Fighters more than three months ago! She was also a Federal-certified Tier 2 Materials Expert and a direct disciple of Melissa, the late eldest daughter of the Campbell family!

At the age of eighteen, such achievements are indeed outstanding, but in the context of the capital star system and Glory Star, where the Federation's elite gather, they are simply not enough.

Not to mention, she was just a lowly ninth-class citizen!

Such a status would be a desecration to stand alongside the most brilliant and talented direct descendant of the imperial family in the history of the Federation!
Fiancée? How could she be worthy of her!
Ms. Tian Zhengzi stared coldly at Nan Rong, her expression extremely unpleasant.

She indifferently sank her consciousness into the AI ​​and issued a series of commands.

Ji Zhong stood there stunned, muttering the words "fiancée" repeatedly, momentarily disoriented.

Just a moment ago, he thought that as long as Nan Rong was safe and sound, that would be enough, but now, he had other desires and thoughts.

Tiffany couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes welled up with tears: "Brother Tianli, it's me, Tiffany! Don't you recognize me?"

"So it was you." Tian Li's tone remained completely calm: "Considering this is your first offense, an apology will suffice."

Tiffany's face flushed crimson, and tears streamed down her face instantly. She couldn't believe that Tian Li would be so cold to her, even publicly humiliating her in front of so many people.

She was naturally unwilling to apologize. Just as she hesitated, a noblewoman gracefully stepped forward from behind, saying apologetically:
"Your Majesty, Madam. Miss Tiffany was simply out of line and has offended you in any way. I hope you can forgive her. A banquet is scheduled for later at the Presidential Residence. It's getting late, would you like to head over there now?"

Tian Li then looked at Nan Rong. The latter understood his meaning and smiled sweetly.

She wasn't one to passively accept things as they were. While she wouldn't really mind such a small matter, she also couldn't simply refute Tianli's words.

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with; I can just go back and practice my manners properly."

This statement was undeniably harsh, tantamount to criticizing Tiffany's poor manners in front of countless people.

This was an extremely humiliating act for a noblewoman from a prominent family.

After speaking, the two stepped directly onto the golden carpet and walked through an endless sea of ​​golden and red petals.

Countless people rushed forward, vying to shake hands with Tianli, and no one even glanced at Tiffany, who remained standing in place.

She trembled slightly with anger, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the noblewoman who had just stepped forward.

"Rachel, you think stepping on me will leave a good impression on him? Don't dream about it!"

Rachel merely glanced at her meaningfully, smiling without saying a word. The other noble ladies, however, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"So it turns out that the dignified and elegant Miss Tiffany can utter such contemptuous words one day," a noblewoman said. "I thought you would maintain your aloof and ethereal image forever!"

"What did you say!" Tiffany was furious.

"Stop pretending," another noblewoman said. "If I were you, I would have gone back to brush up on etiquette by now—making such a fool of yourself in front of all the citizens of the Federation is incredibly embarrassing!"

"Tiffany!" Ms. Tian Zhengzi walked over with a cold face, glanced indifferently at the ladies present, and pulled them away.

"Go back with your aunt first." She patted Tiffany's hand: "It's not your fault, there's no need to be sad."

"But Auntie. The entire Federation, as well as the people of the Miao Empire and the Kungu Empire, all witnessed what just happened." She was extremely distressed: "How could Brother Tianli treat me like this for such a woman?"

Tian Zhengzi patted her hand, a fierce glint flashing between his brows: "Don't be afraid, we're here for you. Neither the Holmes family nor your aunt will let you suffer this loss for nothing."

After the party, Nan Rong felt exhausted.

Given her current physical condition, she wouldn't feel tired even if she fought tirelessly for ten days in the harshest terrain.

But dealing with wave after wave of people who come up to toast you with ulterior motives is extremely exhausting.

"This is absolutely the last time!" She slumped onto the sofa, completely disregarding her image. "Don't even think about making me go to these boring events with you again!"

Tian Li, however, remained upright and steadfast, as if he were already quite adept at this kind of thing.

“This is the price of achieving a high position,” he said. “This is just the beginning.”

"I regret it!" Nan Rong murmured. "Is it too late to change the plan now?"

"It's too late." The latter's lips curled up slightly: "You can't do everything by yourself; this kind of interaction is essential."

"If that's the case, why did you ask me to offend the Holmes family?" Nan Rong sat up straight.
