Chapter 26 Scheming and Spoiled Stepsister VS Cold Childhood Sweetheart Brother

"You still know fear?" Fu Xunzhou asked her.

"What do you want to do to me?" Jiang Zhiyi didn't dare to look at him and asked in a low voice.

“Didn’t I warn you before? What do you think I’m trying to do?” he said slowly.

"Fu Xunzhou, what you're doing is illegal."

He chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with her current timid demeanor.

"What did I do? You were injured, and I let you rest and recover here. Is that illegal?" he laughed.

"You can't lock me up, I want to get out."

He walked over, and Jiang Zhiyi instinctively wanted to get away, but he pinned her to the bed, rendering her unable to move.

Jiang Zhiyi grabbed his collar, her fingers turning white from the force, her voice trembling slightly: "What exactly do you want to do?"

She was genuinely scared.

Their faces were very close, their rapid breaths mingling.

Fu Xunzhou forcefully lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely.

The girl's soft body pressed against him, her waist tightly encircled.

Jiang Zhiyi was a little breathless from the kiss, and both of their hearts were beating very fast, thumping.

After a long while, he slowly released her.

She was breathing slightly heavily, her eyes were misty with tears, and her lips were bright red.

He got up, sat up straight on the edge of the bed, and took a small black velvet box out of his suit pocket.

Gently open it to reveal a dazzling, exquisite custom-made silver chain fully adorned with diamonds, quite expensive, and even more radiant under the room's lights.

Fu Xunzhou grasped her legs, which were hidden under the blanket, and made her bend her knees slightly before putting the anklet on her slender ankle.

“Marry me,” he said.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at him in disbelief.

"You want money, don't you? If we get married, I'll transfer all my assets to you."

He seduced her.

“The Fu family and the Jiang family are now mine. You don’t need to worry. No one will oppose us anymore. They will all send their blessings.”

"Zhizhi, do you know how much money I have? More than you could squander for several lifetimes and still not spend it all. I'll give it all to you; no one will ever give you more than me."

"Will you marry me?"

Jiang Zhiyi was completely stunned.

【Owner! 】

Tuantuan, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly reappeared.

[Master, the system indicates the plot has deteriorated, and the male lead's stats are abnormal. The Transmigration Bureau has issued a new mission: to help the male lead achieve a perfect ending.]

If you're willing, you can say yes.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at the handsome man in front of her and said, "I'll think about it."

The man hugged her, stroking her head with his hand, a strand of hair twirling between his fingertips.

"Okay." His voice was so low and hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

...

The news that Fu Xunzhou and Ji Ning had canceled their engagement caused a stir throughout City A.

After all, this was a marriage between two top-tier wealthy families, involving countless interests. Its sudden cancellation inevitably arouses curiosity.

"President Fu." Ji Ning smiled politely and raised her glass to Fu Xunzhou.

When Fu Xunzhou approached her for a collaboration, the two feigned an engagement to help him gain control of the Jiang Group. In exchange, she was also given the projects she desired.

This was a sure-fire deal, so Ji Ning certainly wouldn't refuse.

Now it's all coming to an end.

"I wish you all the best." Ji Ning sincerely wished him well.

"Thanks."

...

"Is there anything you're still not satisfied with?" Fu Xunzhou asked calmly.

Jiang Zhiyi had previously said she needed to think about it, but halfway through her decision, she secretly ran away again.

After he dragged her back, she became even fiercer than him: "You're about to get engaged, and you're still clinging to me!"

"I did it to gain control of the company, otherwise why would they agree to us being together?" he said, feeling wronged.

"I won't listen! I won't listen!" Jiang Zhiyi refused to believe it and kept pressing the issue.

He had no choice but to resolve the matter overnight.

"This year isn't a good year. I checked the almanac, and it's not auspicious for marriage," Jiang Zhiyi started making things up.

Fu Xunzhou frowned: "Then let's postpone the wedding and go get our marriage certificate first."

“No!” she protested.

"Let's get our marriage certificate first, and then I'll transfer my assets to you. The economy is bad this year; if we wait until next year, I might lose all my money..."

Jiang Zhiyi looked at him and asked, "Really? Your company has clearly discussed a lot of collaborations recently."

She had also seen reports about it in economic news.

"It's because we've been losing money that we're trying every possible way to seek cooperation in order to save our lives."

Fu Xunzhou began to lie to her without batting an eye.

Jiang Zhiyi hesitated.

Although the mission is complete, she now not only has to keep the male lead calm, but she also needs to stay in this world until the mission character's life ends naturally.

She didn't want to suffer during such a long period of time.

Agreeing to him... seems like a good idea.

“No, you have to show your sincerity.” Jiang Zhiyi said with a coquettish expression.

"Isn't my sincerity enough?" He had given her all his wealth, and after the marriage, he had nothing left.

"You also need to write me a guarantee."

"What guarantee?"

"Basically, you have to promise never to yell at me or be mean to me, never to bully me, always to be good to me, and to give me all the money you earn in the future..."

“Sure,” Fu Xunzhou said with a smile.

"Words are no proof."

“I can write the guarantee, you can write it however you want, but I will only write it on the marriage certificate.”

Fu Xunzhou hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Let's get our marriage certificate today, and then we'll write it down when we get back, okay?"

Jiang Zhiyi was still in a daze.

Fu Xunzhou pressed her head down, forcing her to nod.

“Then let’s go,” he said.

"Leave now? Uncle Fu and the others..."

"Don't worry, they'll have to agree whether they like it or not. With me here, what are you worried about? I guarantee they'll all be happy to attend our wedding."

A few months later.

Xu Qingran sent her a message.

[Zhizhi, everyone else seems to have a partner, but I'm still single. I'm so sad.]

Jiang Zhiyi couldn't stop laughing.

[Don't cry, Qingran, I'll figure something out for you. What kind do you like, a cute, cuddly guy or a rugged, tough guy?]

After replying to that message, Jiang Zhiyi sent another voice message to comfort her: "It's okay, Qingran, you still have me."

Fu Xunzhou, who happened to be walking in, only heard the second half of the sentence: "Who are you calling 'baby'?"

The man's tone was very unfriendly.

“I called you, you’re my precious baby.” Jiang Zhiyi snuggled up to him and kissed him affectionately.

“You called it wrong, call it again.” Fu Xunzhou said unhappily.

"Where did you shout it wrong?"

Fu Xunzhou gave her a cold look.

Jiang Zhiyi smiled and leaned closer: "My husband isn't here tonight. Stay and don't leave. Let's have an affair."

"I am your legal husband!" Fu Xunzhou was even angrier.

"I don't care." Jiang Zhiyi burst into laughter at his reaction.

Fu Xunzhou leaned down and kissed her.

He must teach her a lesson, and he will continue to do so in the future.
