Chapter 05: A Girl's Aggressive Pursuit
Future sister-in-law?
Fu Qingrui hastily tightened his grip on his phone, which was about to slip from his hand. He looked at Kong Yiyue with disdain, “I don't know if my brother has a girlfriend.”
Kong Yiyue's smile deepened, “Yeah, I'm not his girlfriend.”
Fu Qingrui didn't believe her sudden change of heart. He sneered and said in a defiant tone, “There are countless people who want to be my sister-in-law. Who are you?”
“Well,” Kong Yiyue furrowed her brow slightly and thought for a moment.
Seeing that she was actually going to answer his question, Fu Qingrui couldn't help but snort in his heart.
What's going on with that guy, Fu Jinting?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Kong Yiyue raise her head and say with a radiant smile, “You mean, what number am I? I guess I'd be considered Fu Jinting's main wife.”
"..." Fu Qingrui couldn't understand for a moment. What was a “main wife?”
Seeing his puzzled expression, Kong Yiyue kindly added, “Oh, you're probably too young to understand the term ‘main wife.’ To put it simply, it's the original wife, the legitimate wife.”
Original wife? Wife? And legitimate?!
Fu Qingrui felt genuinely confused. What kind of relationship did Fu Jinting have with this random girl?
His thoughts went in circles, but then Fu Qingrui focused on her previous statement, “You're probably too young.” (＃‵′) Ugh, I hate it when people say I'm young!
He corrected her righteously, “I'm in my third year of junior high! I'll graduate from junior high next year!”
Kong Yiyue smiled and ignored his displeasure, “Third year junior high is still very young. Well, younger than me and your brother.”
Fu Qingrui mentally “ugh”d again! This girl is so annoying!
“Hey, you said you know my brother?”
Kong Yiyue nodded, “I do.” Her voice was filled with joy.
Just then, the elevator arrived. Fu Qingrui stepped into the empty elevator first, smiled slyly, “From what I know about my brother, he doesn't like girls like you at all.”
Kong Yiyue followed him into the elevator and asked nonchalantly, “Is that so?”
Fu Qingrui glanced at her arrogantly, “Do you know the Fu family's status and position?”
Kong Yiyue answered truthfully, “I do.”
Fu Qingrui lazily drew out his words, “No wonder!” He paused deliberately, then continued, “You're interested in our family's wealth, aren't you? Or, you could say, you're interested in the assets behind my brother.”
Kong Yiyue stood quietly to the side, not arguing, a faint smile on her face.
Fu Qingrui felt more confident about his inner guess, and became even more arrogant, “There are countless girls who want to marry into our family. My brother would fall for you? It's a complete fantasy!”
Kong Yiyue didn't get angry at all. Following his line of thought, she asked, “Then what kind of girls does your brother like?”
“My brother obviously likes noble ladies, with good temperament, good upbringing, and beautiful looks!”
Kong Yiyue agreed, echoing him, “So it's really those three criteria. Fu Qingrui, don't worry, I'll work hard.”
Fu Qingrui's mouth twitched, “Hey, do you even understand what I'm saying?” Halfway through his sentence, his phone rang.
Kong Yiyue looked to the side and saw the caller ID on the screen, but because of the angle, she could only make out the character “Fu”. And because Fu Qingrui had glanced at his phone and then looked at Kong Yiyue with a suspicious look that also contained contempt, she guessed that the caller was probably Fu Jinting.
“Fu Jinting's call?” She asked questioningly.
Fu Qingrui raised his chin impatiently, “What business is it of yours?”
Kong Yiyue had excellent self-control. Faced with his repeated provocations and disrespect, she was broad-minded enough to not hold a grudge. She simply reached out and touched his head.
She had been itching to do this ever since she first saw him.
Fu Qingrui's hair looked very soft, and as expected, it felt very comfortable.
Kong Yiyue mischievously messed up his hair. Fu Qingrui was so focused on answering his phone that he didn't expect her to suddenly do this. He angrily swatted her hand away and angrily questioned, “Hey, what are you doing?”
Kong Yiyue nonchalantly retracted her hand, “Well, you should be respectful to your sister-in-law, otherwise, I'll have your brother bully you back.”
Fu Qingrui was furious. He yelled into the phone that was already connected, “Brother, what's the matter with your woman!”
Fu Jinting had just parked his car, one hand was about to release the seatbelt. Hearing this as he answered the phone, his other hand holding the phone paused slightly. His narrow eyes flicked up slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of countless flickering starlight.
“Who are you with?” Calmly, without any sign of emotion.
Fu Qingrui was not as calm as him, “I don't know, a crazy woman.”
Kong Yiyue naturally knew he disliked her inexplicable behavior. The smile on her face was gentle, making Fu Qingrui shiver uncomfortably. “Brother!”
Fu Qingrui was about to ask who this self-proclaimed sister-in-law was, when he suddenly remembered an important question. He turned around and glanced at Kong Yiyue, rudely saying, “Hey, who are you exactly?”
Kong Yiyue acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled softly, “Kong Yiyue. Tell your brother that if he doesn't mind, he can come and pick me up.”
Fu Qingrui was speechless. Did this woman really have something to do with Fu Jinting? If not, why would she dare to make the bold request for Fu Jinting to come and pick her up?
It's important to know that Fu Jinting hated waiting for people and picking them up. He had personally bothered his grandmother to get Fu Jinting to drive him back to the company in the morning!
Fu Qingrui scrutinized Kong Yiyue again. Well, if you're talking about looks, she's actually okay. If you're talking about figure, well, she's curvy. If you're talking about temperament, she's... He hadn't met many noble ladies who could remain calm and composed when they were being deliberately provoked like this. There really wasn't anyone like her!
Fu Qingrui then thought, this Kong Yiyue seems harmless, but even her smiles and tone of voice were always controlled and appropriate. Hmph, I dislike those who are so effortless!
Fu Qingrui thought about it. If this person is really his future sister-in-law, he instantly had a feeling of “I'm completely done!”
Hmph, I won't let my brother be with you!
“Kong Yiyue! I won't admit that you're my sister-in-law!”
Kong Yiyue didn't respond.
Fu Jinting had just gotten out of his car. His black shoes paused as he took a step forward, his expression clearly revealing his disgust, “Fu Qingrui, you said Kong Yiyue is with you?”
“Ding!” The elevator door opened automatically.
Fu Qingrui replied, “Brother, I'm on the first floor. I'm coming out now. This woman is really not likable. Brother, how could you have such low taste!”
Fu Jinting's face turned black. Without another word, he hung up the phone. It's Kong Yiyue again, a persistent ghost, and when did she get to know Fu Qingrui?
Fu Jinting's mind raced, thinking: Is Kong Yiyue trying to forcefully enter his life? Hmph, she's delusional!
Fu Qingrui stepped out of the elevator and saw that Kong Yiyue was following behind him without haste. He angrily said, “What are you following me for?”
Kong Yiyue said matter-of-factly, “Naturally, to see your brother.”
Fu Qingrui's expression darkened instantly. He turned around and looked at her with contempt, “Kong Yiyue, it's actually you who are making a strong move on my brother!”
Kong Yiyue pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded seriously, “Who says it's not?”
Fu Qingrui: "..."
After all, he's just a junior high kid. If she really wanted to argue with him, he wouldn't be a good opponent.
Kong Yiyue simply said nothing and walked straight ahead.
She had heard Fu Qingrui's words on the phone just now, and it seemed that Fu Jinting was nearby. This was a rare opportunity to get closer to him outside of school, and Kong Yiyue felt that she couldn't miss it.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out of the building, she saw Fu Jinting standing not far away, looking elegant and handsome. Behind him was a brand new white BMW.
The first thought that flashed through Kong Yiyue's mind was: A beauty and a luxurious car!
Her smile couldn't be contained. Then, when she received Fu Jinting's disapproving gaze, she boldly walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his arm, and softly called out his name, “Fu Jinting.”
Fu Qingrui had been staying behind Kong Yiyue to keep his distance, but unexpectedly, he saw this scene as soon as he stepped out of the building:
Fu Jinting, wearing white pants and a black jacket, was looking down at the girl who had her arms around his arm. The girl's body was leaning against his, her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling slightly, her soft long hair falling to her waist as she tilted her head up slightly. The handsome man and beautiful woman were gazing at each other in the bright sunlight. The scene unconsciously had a hint of romance.
Fu Qingrui deliberately ignored the incongruous sharpness in Fu Jinting's eyes. It seemed like the two of them standing together were quite harmonious...
