Chapter 18: What's He Angry About?
Kong Yiyue was astonished to have the opportunity to meet Nie Ling Wei in this life!
She and Nie Ling Wei had never had any contact in her previous life. She knew of Nie Ling Wei's existence only because she was Fu Jinting's girlfriend and had accompanied him to various banquets.
In her previous life, Fu Jinting had only one female companion, and that was Nie Ling Wei.
She had seen magazine photos of her smiling and holding hands with Fu Jinting, her beautiful clothes and charming smile making her beautiful and enviable.
She had read her interviews and learned that she and Fu Jinting were childhood sweethearts. After graduating from high school, they happened to study at the same university abroad, and they started dating.
How many years did they date?
From her junior year until Kong Yiyue's death, Nie Ling Wei and Fu Jinting had been just boyfriend and girlfriend.
Kong Yiyue wondered if Fu Jinting had married Nie Ling Wei in her previous life, but then she thought that if he hadn't married Nie Ling Wei, he shouldn't!
He had spent so many years with Nie Ling Wei, how could Fu Jinting still have the energy to adapt to another strange woman at the age of marriage?
Kong Yiyue stopped her thoughts. She was lucky to have met Nie Ling Wei, but what was with her chain of emotions, curiosity, and fantasies!
The moment Kong Yiyue said Nie Ling Wei's name, a strange look flashed across Fu Jinting's face. Did she even know Nie Ling Wei?
Fu Jinting couldn't help but review the previous events in detail. He remembered that Zhong Ziyang had said that Kong Yiyue called out his name before he had introduced himself and knew that Zhong Ziyang was his friend?
Fu Jinting narrowed his eyes to examine Kong Yiyue. Not only that, but she seemed to know Fu Qing Rui, and now Nie Ling Wei!
Fu Jinting had a stubborn belief that it was only natural for her to know him, but she seemed to predict the future, knew the people close to him. If it wasn't premeditated, Fu Jinting couldn't think of any other possibilities.
When Nie Ling Wei saw Fu Jinting talking to Kong Yiyue, she was curious. Fu Jinting would actively talk to a girl?
She wanted to observe the situation, but she didn't expect this girl to be so proactive and bold, stopping Fu Jinting.
She also hadn't expected that as soon as she walked over, Kong Yiyue would call out her name, accurately. But in her memory, she had never met Kong Yiyue.
Nie Ling Wei felt uncomfortable, as if the enemy knew her well while she knew nothing about the enemy.
She smiled slowly, saying in a gentle and intellectual tone, “Hello, do you know me?”
As soon as Nie Ling Wei spoke, Kong Yiyue noticed that her gaze towards Fu Jinting had added some indescribable meaning. Then, Fu Jinting looked at her with suspicion again.
Kong Yiyue sighed inwardly, she was making mistakes.
She forced a smile and didn't answer, introducing herself, “Hello, I'm Kong Yiyue.”
Nie Ling Wei knew that Kong Yiyue was deliberately avoiding her question and shifted her gaze to Fu Jinting's face. Seeing Fu Jinting looking doubtful, she knew her purpose was achieved. Then she smiled faintly, “Hello.”
The three of them stood there.
Kong Yiyue didn't plan to continue the previous topic, but Fu Jinting didn't let her do what she wanted.
He said to Nie Ling Wei, “You eat with Fu Qing Rui. I have something to deal with.”
Just as Nie Ling Wei wanted to ask, “What is it?” Fu Jinting grabbed Kong Yiyue's hand and pulled her away.
Nie Ling Wei watched Kong Yiyue stumble as she followed behind Fu Jinting, her gaze darkening.
What exactly was the relationship between this girl and Fu Jinting?
Regaining her thoughts, she saw Fu Qing Rui with a “I'm an outsider” look, and smiled to please him, “Qing Rui, you're here too!”
Fu Qing Rui didn't care about Nie Ling Wei, only saying “Hmm” and not continuing.
How could Nie Ling Wei not take the opportunity to ask? “Qing Rui, what's the relationship between that girl and your brother?”
Fu Qing Rui suddenly realized something, “Oh, you're asking about that girl!”
Nie Ling Wei pricked up her ears, but Fu Qing Rui stopped again, deliberately whetting her appetite.
After waiting for a while and seeing him still silent, looking relaxed, Nie Ling Wei asked again, “You don't know?”
Fu Qing Rui drawled out the words lazily, saying, “I know, my sister-in-law.”
“Uh?...”
Intuition told Kong Yiyue that Fu Jinting pulling her away in front of Nie Ling Wei was not a good thing.
Although Fu Jinting and Nie Ling Wei didn't have any romantic feelings for each other, seeing Nie Ling Wei's gazes towards Fu Jinting, Kong Yiyue understood that Nie Ling Wei really loved Fu Jinting.
Kong Yiyue wisely set Nie Ling Wei aside because she knew that Fu Jinting would discuss with her was not what she could handle.
Kong Yiyue frowned, watching Fu Jinting skillfully lead her past the flowerbeds in the hall, then walk into a deep corridor. There were lush potted plants along the corridor.
With a force, Kong Yiyue's body was pushed against the wall in the corner.
The golden wall was cold. Kong Yiyue's back hurt, but she had just straightened up to get away from the coldness when Fu Jinting quickly leaned his hand against the wall and used his other hand to hold her shoulder, pressing her back. He occupied her in his power.
Kong Yiyue felt a slight pain in her shoulder. Looking up, she saw Fu Jinting's facial bones twitch slightly with anger.
Kong Yiyue instinctively moved to the side. Just as she moved, Fu Jinting forcibly pulled her back to her original position.
“Kong Yiyue, explain!” His cold breath was on her face. Kong Yiyue turned her face and tried to make her tone light, “Fu Jinting, don't you think we're being too ambiguous?”
“Ambiguous?” Fu Jinting's seemingly non-existent smile was chilling, “Kong Yiyue, you need to learn how to change the subject!”
Kong Yiyue nodded in agreement, “That's true.”
“Kong Yiyue,” Fu Jinting took a deep breath. His smile was captivating. He said, “Let's talk about your purpose.”
The forced smile on Kong Yiyue's face gradually disappeared, but her composure still dissatisfied Fu Jinting!
Didn't Kong Yiyue have anything she wanted to explain?
Kong Yiyue, I've been giving you a chance to the greatest extent, so why are you so indifferent!
Kong Yiyue, don't you feel like you're letting me down?!
Kong Yiyue didn't feel that she had done Fu Jinting wrong. She looked up, facing Fu Jinting, and said with seriousness, “Fu Jinting, I admit that the reason I want to pursue you is because of your money. As for what you want to know, why do I know Nie Ling Wei, I can only say, I don't know.”
“Don't know? Kong Yiyue, you can accurately call out other people's names, yet you say you don't know how you met her? Kong Yiyue, don't you think your excuse is extremely bad!”
“Yeah, very bad.” Kong Yiyue smiled, “But Fu Jinting, can you explain to me why you're so angry now? Are you angry because you found out about my impure purpose? Are you angry because you've found that you are a little touched by me?...”
