Chapter 61: The First Kiss
Xiang Yang is baffled by Fu Guanxian's persistent pace. After he's done talking business, Xiang Yang is sleepy. Without hesitation, she yawns in front of him. He doesn't have any self-awareness. He smiles and says, “If you're sleepy, go take a bath and get some sleep.”
Xiang Yang blinks and looks at him without speaking.
That's what she was thinking, right? But why is he sitting there without moving?
Fu Guanxian knows what she wants to say, but he pretends not to know.
Xiang Yang can't take it anymore. “I'm going to rest. Please leave.”
Fu Guanxian thinks for a moment. He calmly gives her a response: “I forgot my room key.”
“You…” Xiang Yang says calmly. “Call the staff and have them come up.”
“No.”
“Fu Guanxian!”
Xiang Yang sees that he's already put his arms behind his head and is lying comfortably on the sofa. She rushes over. “What are you doing?!”
“I'm tired. I don't want to move.”
“Fu Guanxian, this is my room.”
“I know.”
“Then why aren't you being discreet?”
Fu Guanxian looks at her and says with a playful smile, “Why should I be discreet?”
“You…”
Xiang Yang sees his ambiguous gaze. She turns and walks directly towards the door. “If you're not leaving, I'll go.”
Getting another room isn't difficult. He likes it here. Let him stay then.
Fu Guanxian didn't expect that after all these years, she has not only become strong, but she knows how to cleverly avoid him. If she is not here, what is the point of him staying?
Fu Guanxian stands up and quickly walks to her. Without a word, he reaches out and grabs her wrist, lightly pulls her toward him, and takes her into his arms.
Her back touches his warm chest. His masculine, exclusive scent is clear and strong, with a hint of tobacco. Xiang Yang is quiet for a few seconds. Then she comes to her senses and tries to break free. But her hands are tightly held. Then, she's forced to turn around. He presses her against the wall.
Xiang Yang raises her head in surprise. She meets his gaze. His handsome face is bent down, looking at her. His eyes are deep, his eyelashes long and dark, his nose tall and straight… Xiang Yang's gaze stops at his lips. Then, she blushes and turns her head away.
Even though beauty is right before her, she can't be tempted.
Fu Guanxian laughs softly.
Xiang Yang feels even more flustered.
She bites her lip lightly. Then, as if she's made up her mind, she raises her head. Suddenly, a warm sensation touches her eyelids.
Xiang Yang's heart trembles slightly.
When she opens her eyes, which she had unconsciously closed, they are full of panic.
Xiang Yang looks at the man in front of her in astonishment. He just… he just kissed her?
Fu Guanxian knows that this action will definitely shock her. But he's waited so many years. He finds her clumsiness speechless.
She has no feelings for Xing Zhaoyan, who has been with her every day.
Fu Guanxian is both surprised and afraid.
She doesn't love Xing Zhaoyan. He is happy to hear that. But it also shows something. Xiang Yang is very difficult to please.
Fu Guanxian doesn't have to think too hard to know that Xing Zhaoyan's kindness to her must have been very considerate.
But despite this, she can still immerse herself in her work after they part ways, without being affected. He has to re-evaluate her.
Later, he also figures it out. If he doesn't act, he may never be able to bring her home. It might really be like Lian Rui said — a long road to win her heart.
Thinking about this, Fu Guanxian's mood is a bit complicated. He rubs his thumb against her cheek. He almost can't control himself. Under her sparkling gaze, he gently kisses her lips.
The kiss, which is brief, ends quickly. He leans slightly forward, close to her ear, and says in a magnetic voice, “Xiang Yang, I miss you.”
Xiang Yang, who had closed her eyes without realizing it, feels her heart pounding. Her hands hang by her side. She is so nervous that she clenches them into fists.
Fu Guanxian clearly feels her body tremble slightly when he kisses her.
He smiles, lowers his head to look at her, then his gaze falls on her soft lips. The next second, when she slowly opens her eyes, he kisses her lips again.
“Ugh…” Xiang Yang wants to push him away, but she finds that her hands are already held captive by him. She moves her body urgently, struggling.
Fu Guanxian kisses her hard one more time before letting her go.
“Xiang Yang, this is something I wanted to do six years ago.” Fu Guanxian smiles warmly and looks at her tenderly.
Xiang Yang covers her lips with her hand. Her eyes sparkle like stars. Her heart is filled with turmoil.
That was her first kiss! Without her permission, he stole her first kiss just like that?!
“Fu Guanxian! You bastard!”
“We've known each other for so long. You're just realizing this about me today?”
Xiang Yang has never known that Fu Guanxian's face is as thick as a city wall.
Xiang Yang has never thought that when someone who used to bully you suddenly wants to be good to you, he could be this bold.
After the inexplicable kiss that night, Fu Guanxian doesn't say anything else. Perhaps “I miss you” is the limit for Fu Guanxian, who has never been good at expressing his feelings.
Xiang Yang doesn't ask a single question. She's afraid that if she asks too much, it will make things more awkward between them. But for two months, Fu Guanxian calls her every day.
Sometimes she doesn't hear because she's muted her phone, but most of the time, she deliberately doesn't answer. To her surprise, Fu Guanxian patiently starts texting her instead.
At the same time, he constantly sends her gifts in different ways. From roses and loving breakfasts at first to now including love letters and all kinds of cosmetics, clothes, shoes, and even many small gifts that are either handmade or priceless.
Xiao Ai has been helping her receive these gifts for days. She's already complaining. “Sister Xiang Yang, can you stop spreading dog food? My little heart can't handle it!”
Xiang Yang looks at the square gift box she's handed. She doesn't move to open it.
Seeing that she's not saying anything, Xiao Ai quickly says, “Sister Xiang Yang, why don't you just go for it? Mr. Fu is so good. He's successful, he's handsome, not to mention he has a clean dating history. He's even so devoted to you! The two of you together would be the most beautiful ending to any childhood sweetheart story.”
“Stop it!” Xiang Yang quickly says. “I still have to practice dancing. Stop nagging. If you're curious about this, open it. As for being together, I don't have masochistic tendencies.”
It's a joke! Wasn't she bullied enough by him when she was young?
Now, when she thinks back, she really was ridiculously honest and weak! Why didn't she fight back? She could have just gone for broke.
Now, looking back, she really feels stifled.
Xiao Ai feels stifled too.
After knowing that Xing Zhaoyan is a scumbag, she feels like she had no eyes when she was happy for Xiang Yang and him being together. Now, thankfully, Sister Xiang Yang has learned the truth and has nothing to do with that guy. This childhood sweetheart who suddenly returned is really a great choice!
Such good conditions. The most important thing is that Mr. Fu is so devoted to Sister Xiang Yang. How can she not like him?
Xiang Yang is halfway through her dance practice when Xiao Ai rushes into the dance studio, out of breath.
The music hasn't stopped. Xiang Yang, who is seriously correcting a move, is pulled by Xiao Ai's arm. Xiang Yang turns around, sees that she looks anxious, and asks with a shaky breath, “What's wrong?”
It's winter, but she's been dancing for a while. She's sweating a lot, and it's getting hot.
Xiang Yang stands up straight and touches her cheek with the back of her hand. Sure enough, it's hot.
Seeing that she's still acting unconcerned, Xiao Ai quickly tells her, “Fu… Mr. Fu is here!”
Xiang Yang can't hear her clearly. She waves to the teacher. The teacher stops the music. Xiang Yang asks, “Who did you say is here?”
Xiao Ai winks. “Mr. Fu! He said he came to pick you up!”
Xiang Yang frowns. Why is he picking her up? Also, when did she agree to meet him?
Xiang Yang doesn't want to pay attention to him. She's about to continue her practice when the glass door of the dance studio is pushed open.
Two of the executives from “Universe” walk in with smiles.
Xiang Yang's eyes are drawn to him. She meets Fu Guanxian's gradually warming handsome face.
His voice is clear and resonant. “Are you finished?”
“You…” Xiang Yang furrows her brow. “What do you want?”
“Let's eat.”
Xiang Yang: "…" “Is that all?”
Fu Guanxian walks up to her, reaches out to brush the hair from her cheek, and smiles. “This is a big deal for me.”
The executives behind them see the interaction between them, but they only exchange knowing glances.
Recently, there are rumors circulating in the company about a man named Fu who is aggressively pursuing Xiang Yang. In Qinglin City, who is the Fu family…? It goes without saying that they're very influential.
Some people are envious and privately say that Xiang Yang dumped Xing Zhaoyan only because she found a better catch. Because this is clearly a good deal.
When the executives hear this gossip, they can't help but laugh. It was Fu Guanxian who asked “Universe” to sign Xiang Yang in the first place. They've been ambiguous for more than just recently. This has been going on for years. It's just that they couldn't see it.
Now they see them standing together, a perfect match.
They all chime in. “Yes, Xiang Yang, dinner is important. Let's go eat first.”
Fu Guanxian looks at her. It seems like he won't leave until she agrees.
Xiang Yang grits her teeth silently. Is Fu Guanxian doing this on purpose? Before she can say what she really thinks, someone says, “Xiang Yang, you don't have to feel embarrassed. We all knew about your relationship with Mr. Fu before you signed with the company. The CEO was on the phone with Mr. Fu. We were right there!”
“What?”
