His arms were long and strong as he pressed her against the corner of the sofa and encircled her.
The faint aroma of jade lingered around her neck and behind her ears, landing on her skin.
It was light, but the touch was very strong.
This sudden movement made even Ying Zijin's thoughts stop for a moment.
She had never been able to predict what Fu Yunshen would do next, and she didn't even try to predict it.
Ying Zijin slowly lifted her head.
When she lifted her head, the distance between them became even closer.
Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and their breaths were intertwined.
They were so close that even the tips of their noses were touching.
She could clearly see the man's naturally flirtatious peach blossom eyes slightly curved, as though they were filled with a galaxy of stars.
There was only her reflection in them.
It was too affectionate.
"I heard from Xiu Yu that the number of boys who are pursuing you in school is enough to form 11 football teams." Fu Yunshen spoke unhurriedly, "They've even been assigned jobs. Some are the vanguards, some are the goalkeepers, and they've even played matches in private."
Ying Zijin's thoughts were still stagnant. After a while, she replied with a single word, "… Hmm?"
Xiu Yu had a hobby, which was to make a list of all the boys in school who had sent her love letters and divide them into groups.
With this grouping, there were 11 football teams.
The boys didn't have any objections to this and even enjoyed it.
They did play matches, but they were later caught by the Dean of Moral Education to write a reflection.
"So I told her yesterday that I'm going to join the football team." Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and said casually, "But I want to be a team by myself. I'll be the vanguard and the goalkeeper."
When he said this, his arms were still hugging her. He didn't let go, but tightened his grip.
Ying Zijin didn't say anything.
She only looked at his eyes, and her gaze became a little misty.
"And then —" Fu Yunshen spoke again, his voice low and gentle, with a hint of coaxing, "Yaoyao, we've known each other for so long. Can you give me a special privilege and like me first?"
Thump, thump, thump.
The sound of his heartbeat became clear at this moment.
This was the first time that Ying Zijin felt such a strong heartbeat.
She didn't know what love was.
But at this moment, he experienced it.
The joy that came from the bottom of his heart was like fireworks.
Ying Zijin turned her head slightly to avoid his direct gaze.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was still calm, but there was a different emotion in it. "What do you mean?"
"It's my first time liking someone. I don't know how to tell her." Fu Yunshen loosened one of his hands. His fingers slowly caressed her face as he chuckled. "As for me, I've never been to school. I've always been self-taught."
"But when it comes to liking you, I've consulted a lot of people. I'm afraid that I won't do a good job."
This was the first time he said the word "like" out loud.
"Maybe I was teasing you at first, but later on, every word I said came from the bottom of my heart." Fu Yunshen paused and said softly, "I'll only be good to whoever I like."
"The world shouldn't make me so happy, but you're here."
He had thought that he would never say such words to anyone in his life.
Even if there was no one he loved, he didn't care.
No one asked him to spend his life with her.
For him, it was better to be alone than to make do.
But she was here.
Since then, his world was full of light.
Passionate and dazzling.
Ying Zijin had never known that just by listening to his words, one could be so pleasant to hear.
Her heartbeat gradually calmed down from the speed of a speeding car on the highway. "Are you serious?"
"Serious, very serious." Fu Yunshen slowly tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. He smiled and said in a low voice, "I wanted to kiss you directly, but you didn't agree, so I held back."
He respected her.
No matter how strong the desire in his heart was, he would restrain himself.
Ying Zijin thought for a moment and said, "I —"
"Yaoyao, don't worry." Fu Yunshen's fingers pressed against her lips. There was a hint of a smile in his voice as he said, "How about you let me chase after you?"
"Our Yaoyao can't be inferior to the things that other girls have enjoyed."
Hearing this, Ying Zijin's body relaxed a little.
She raised her almond-shaped eyes. "Okay, then you can chase me. I'm quite difficult to chase."
After saying that, the girl put one hand on his shoulder.
This time, Fu Yunshen's body tensed up. His voice was a little hoarse. "Yaoyao?"
Ying Zijin's hand was still on his shoulder. She didn't let go. "I'll sit up."
"…"
He really didn't know whether his little kid did it intentionally or not.
But whether it was the former or the latter, she could always easily defeat him.
After Ying Zijin sat up, she took a slow breath and took a napkin from the coffee table to wipe the sweat on her forehead.
"You're sweating?" Fu Yunshen looked sideways. "I didn't seem to have anything just now —"
Before he could finish his words, his foot was stepped on.
Ying Zijin glanced in the direction of the kitchen and turned her head. "Shut up."
"Okay." Fu Yunshen curled his lips. "I'm chasing you now. I'll listen to everything you say."
Ying Zijin picked up the remote control and changed it to the grape table.
Today was the last episode, and the audience would choose the final contestant for the debut.
Yun Heyue's votes were the best, and there was no doubt that she would debut in the center position.
The impact was too big, and she needed to watch the show to calm down.
Fu Yunshen watched the TV, but his attention was on the girl.
After a while, he asked, "Can I hold hands?"
Ying Zijin paused. She glanced at him and reached out her index finger. "I'll give you one."
Fu Yunshen lowered his gaze and looked at the girl. His lips curved up and he chuckled. "It's not impossible."
His hand held her finger. His palm was soft and warm, but it felt different from before.
Ying Zijin's gaze returned to the TV.
Twenty minutes later.
Wen Fengmian came out of the kitchen.
At this moment, the two people on the sofa were watching TV. They were very far away, so they couldn't see what had happened.
The kitchen wasn't soundproof.
However, after Fu Yunshen made up his mind, he used his internal force to seal the kitchen door.
This way, Wen Fengmian wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Yaoyao, Yunshen, come and eat." Wen Fengmian took off his apron and didn't notice anything unusual until he saw the two of them sitting on opposite sides of the table. He was a little confused. "… Why are you sitting so far away?"
Ying Zijin yawned and lied seriously, "He made me angry just now."
Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes and said, "Yes, Uncle, I bullied her. She's angry now."
Wen Fengmian shook his head and said helplessly, "He's spoiled."
Fu Yunshen picked up his chopsticks and smiled.
He really was spoiling her.
**
Five days later.
March 24th.
Because Fu Yunshen asked Yunshan to change all the invitations sent out by Ying Zhenting, the celebrities in Hucheng were discussing this matter.
Although Ying Zhenting stopped the media from talking, it couldn't stop so many people.
However, the other families were also afraid of Family Ying's power and status in Hucheng, so they didn't dare to say anything. They just treated it as a joke in private.
Jing Hongzhen couldn't squeeze into the celebrity circle anymore, but she still had her old connections and knew about this matter.
That day, she disguised herself and went directly to Ying Group.
Ying Zhenting didn't want to let her in at first, for fear that she would expose herself.
But in the end, he dismissed his secretary and special assistant and brought Jing Hongzhen to the open-air garden on the roof.
"Ying Zhenting, what do you mean by this?" Jing Hongzhen's eyes were cold. "What do you want her to do now?"
Why did she send Ying Yuexuan to Family Ying?
She wanted Ying Yuexuan to replace Ying Zijin's position and have the status of Family Ying's daughter.
In this way, Ying Yuexuan would have the right to inherit the Ying Group.
Marriages in the celebrity circle were very important.
How could an adopted daughter get married in the future?
"I've already sent people to suppress this matter." Ying Zhenting was also very annoyed. "Even the people in the capital don't know about it. Don't worry, the marriage with the Yuan Family will definitely go through."
Many of the Ying Group's collaborations had already failed. The only reason why it didn't fall too much was because it had a collaboration with a foreign company.
Once Ying Yuexuan married into the Yuan Family, it would be too late even if the Yuan Family found out.
Jing Hongzhen's expression became much better. She also softened her tone. "Zhenting, I know you're tired, but you have to think about our daughter. You can't let others look down on her."
Outside the garden, Ying Yuexuan, who had just arrived, stopped in her tracks and her heart stopped beating.
Then, her face turned pale.
She was not only an adopted daughter, but also an illegitimate daughter?!
