Chapter 35 "No, child, you are wrong..."

Lin Zhao looked at Lu Zhou's aggrieved face and found it somewhat amusing.

She gently comforted Lu Zhou.

At the round table, Fu Yansheng sat to Lin Zhao's right, while Lu Zhou glanced at the seats and decisively sat to Lin Zhao's left.

He stood up straight, looking like he was determined not to give up.

Fu Yansheng became increasingly displeased with what he saw.

Lin Zhao didn't think it was a big deal.

She even had the leisure to chat with Fu Yansheng.

Lu Zhou looked nervous, but there was no use in being nervous.

Just as Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng were chatting, the door was opened by a waiter.

Ji Xing, wearing an overcoat and half-rimmed glasses, simply nodded slightly to Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao when he saw them.

Instead of looking at the seat next to Fu Yansheng, he went straight to the empty seat next to Lu Zhou.

Lin Zhao glanced at Ji Xing and Lu Zhou with some curiosity.

He then looked at Fu Yansheng beside him and asked what was going on.

Fu Yansheng leaned close to Lin Zhao's ear, his warm breath brushing against the fine hairs on Lin Zhao's earlobe, causing a slight itch, but before Lin Zhao could leave...

Fu Yansheng then said softly, "The two of them are just a pair of bickering lovers. As long as Ji Xing's face is still there, Lu Zhou will always like him."

Lin Zhao understood; what she liked was his face.

Isn't this the same as before?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao sat up straight, feeling a little embarrassed.

I carefully took a sip of the tea.

The steam from the tea masked the burning sensation on Lin Zhao's face.

Lin Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she waited until her emotions calmed down before putting down the teacup in her hand.

The waiter asked quietly if the food could be served.

After Fu Yansheng nodded slightly, the waiter then notified the other waiters to start serving the dishes.

The food was served very quickly; all the dishes were served in less than two minutes.

The waiter pushed the tray out, and Ji Xing reached out and picked up a shrimp with his chopsticks, sitting there quietly peeling it.

Fu Yansheng glanced at Ji Xing's expression, took a deep breath, and sighed helplessly.

"Ji Xing, when did you eat shrimp?" Fu Yansheng put a piece of food on Lin Zhao's plate, his tone casual.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou, who hadn't wanted to look at Ji Xing, subconsciously glanced at the shrimp on Ji Xing's fingertip.

Her slender, bony fingertips were slightly red from the scalding shrimp.

Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them; such beautiful hands were being used to peel shrimp!

But then Lu Zhou thought of something else.

These hands are back to me...

Lu Zhou suddenly started coughing violently.

Ji Xing subconsciously put down the shrimp in his hand.

But before he could make a move, Lin Zhao acted even faster.

"Are you alright, Brother Lu Zhou?"

Lin Zhao gently patted Lu Zhou's back.

When Fu Yansheng saw this scene, he and Ji Xing exchanged a glance and saw the coldness in each other's eyes.

Then they looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

Fu Yansheng even pretended to stand up and handed Ji Xing a handkerchief in a seemingly friendly manner.

"President Ji's hands are very precious, please don't let them get scratched."

"I'm happy to peel shrimp for Zhouzhou." Ji Xing first put the peeled shrimp into Lu Zhou's bowl, and then smiled as he took the handkerchief that Fu Yansheng was holding tightly.

The moment the handkerchief was pulled out, the two of them took a step back, but luckily Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou didn't see it, otherwise it would have been quite awkward.

“But I don’t remember ordering shrimp. Besides, the shrimp at this restaurant are always pre-peeled, right?” Fu Yansheng spoke again, his tone full of teasing.

Not only Lu Zhou understood, but Lin Zhao also understood.

Lin Zhao silently withdrew her hand.

I was just about to take my bowl and sit on the other side so as not to disturb Lu Zhou and Ji Xing.

But suddenly Lu Zhou grabbed her wrist.

“It seems that Mr. Fu and Mr. Ji have important matters to attend to. Zhao Zhao, let’s sit on the other side so as not to disturb them.”

Lin Zhao, still holding the bowl, was led away by Lu Zhou before she could even speak.

Before Fu Yansheng could even react, he saw Lu Zhou bring Lin Zhao to sit down opposite them.

Ji Xing glanced at Fu Yansheng with a cold smile.

It seemed to be asking Fu Yansheng if this was his trick of hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own.

Now look what's happened! Everyone's wives are sitting across from us!

"Can't you do something about Lu Zhou?"

Fu Yansheng spoke almost through gritted teeth in a low voice. The private room was large, and Fu Yansheng was sure that Lu Zhou and Lin Zhao, who were chatting opposite him, would not hear him.

Ji Xing's voice was cold and hard. He, who had previously appeared mature and composed, was now speechless: "If I could control him, would I have been dumped?"

The two remained silent.

The two sat down.

We're all brothers.

"By the way, what exactly is going on between you and that child from the Lin family? Why would you be so kind as to take in someone else's child?"

Ji Xing couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

You should know that even the younger generation of the Fu family can't get the better of Fu Yansheng.

Not to mention a child who doesn't know anything about the situation.

Although I've heard that Fu Yansheng and the Lin family's child have known each other since childhood.

But Fu Yansheng is not the kind of person who would help someone because of a childhood friendship.

Fu Yansheng is the kind of person who will never act without a profit.

He's not a good person.

"He will be mine." Fu Yansheng said with certainty, his gaze falling on Lin Zhao across from him, just as Lin Zhao was looking at him.

Fu Yansheng curled his lips at Lin Zhao.

Ji Xing, standing opposite him, felt horrified.

Besides sneer, does Fu Yansheng also know how to laugh in other ways?

Oh my god!

I can't believe it!

"Such a handsome boy, why would he be so foolish as to like you? Fu Yansheng, do you remember back abroad, you rejected quite a few boys like him? What did you say then? Too naive. Are you not naive now?"

Ji Xing felt uncomfortable after being hurt by Fu Yansheng, but now that he's been hurt back, he feels much better.

Fu Yansheng twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes deep.

"That's because I've always known what my standards are. You all want to know who I see when I go back to China every month, right? It's him."

Ji Xing also knew that Fu Yansheng, who was a prominent figure at the school, would return to China once a month, rain or shine.

Even in heavy snow and when the airport is closed, this person will stay inside the airport, waiting to fly back to China as soon as possible.

At that time, Ji Xing naively thought that the Fu family needed Fu Yansheng, which was why they made Fu Yansheng return to China once a month.

And now...

Fu Yansheng actually told him that he returned to China because of Lin Zhao?

ah?

“Lu Zhou has always felt that you cheated on me, Ji Xing. Now it seems that you are in a worse situation than me.”

From the moment he was accused of cheating, Lu Zhou believed that he and Ji Xing had no future.

If Ji Xing doesn't explain, Lu Zhou might really be out of luck with him.

Speaking of this matter, Ji Xing also had a headache.

"Never mind, I won't say anything more."

Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou ate very quickly. After they finished eating, Lin Zhao told Fu Yansheng and then went out to play.

Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou closed the door.

The two people who were sitting up instantly stood up.

Then they spread out by two body lengths.

They look down on each other.

*

"What? You're going to an island for the New Year?" Lu Zhou had been in China for a while now, and every day he heard people say that the New Year was coming soon.

Now we also know the significance of the Chinese New Year for Chinese people.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao said she wanted to spend the New Year on an island.

What about Fu?

Lu Zhou had only been thinking about it, but he never expected to say it out loud.

Seeing Lin Zhao's somewhat puzzled look, Lu Zhou quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I was just saying, isn't Fu living with you now? If you go to the island for the New Year, what will Fu do?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhao disagreed and said, "Brother Fu will go home!"

"Then why don't you go home?"

Lu Zhou was even more puzzled.

Lin Zhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The streetlights were on, and a cold wind blew, making Lin Zhao feel a chill run down his spine.

Lin Zhao did not answer the question, but just smiled gently: "The island is warm, and there are fireworks displays at sea during the New Year's Eve celebrations. They are very beautiful."

Lu Zhou didn't care that Lin Zhao didn't answer, but was attracted by the scene Lin Zhao described: "Really? Then I'll go to the island with you for the New Year!"

Lin Zhao didn't speak, but just smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later."

But she seemed listless afterwards. Although she still smiled when she spoke, there was an inexplicable sadness in her voice.

His...home?

Yes, everyone has to go home, but he's not going home to his.

Lin Zhao suddenly felt a strong urge to visit Lin Xian's adoptive parents.

They were Lin Zhao's family by blood.

Lin Zhao hadn't visited them before because she felt they had done something wrong.

Lin Zhao was conflicted.

But now, Lu Zhou's sudden mention of it made him suddenly make up his mind.

He felt that he should go and see them no matter what.

Whether they are good or bad, he should go and see what they look like, just to give his past self an explanation.

Lin Zhao told Fu Yansheng the moment the idea came to her.

Upon learning this, Fu Yansheng immediately called his lawyer to inform them that they wanted to meet the Lin family couple.

After the meal, Lu Zhou was taken away by Ji Xing, and no one knows where they went.

But seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem unhappy, Lin Zhao felt even more that Lu Zhou was being hypocritical.

She clearly likes travelogues, but she keeps saying she doesn't.

Are you sure you want to see them?

Fu Yansheng knew what Lin Zhao's parents' current situation was, but this matter had nothing to do with Lin Zhao. However, once they met, their relationship would change.

If he doesn't see them, Lin Zhao can imagine what his parents look like; they might value him highly.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he was given to another family.

But what if they don't love him?

"I know what kind of people they are from Lin Xian, so I just want to meet them."

Just to meet them once.

Lin Zhao spoke softly.

Fu Yansheng understood.

When Lin Zhao mentioned "seeing each other," she genuinely meant she just wanted to see each other; she had no other requests.

The journey wasn't long; in less than half an hour, Lin Zhao spotted the parents.

Fu Yansheng didn't go in; only Lin Zhao went to see the two.

Lin Zhao looked at the two men; their faces were aged, their eyes were shrewd, and their eyes were filled with coldness and doubt as they looked at Lin Zhao.

They don't know themselves.

Lin Zhao understood as soon as he saw that gaze.

“I am Lin Zhao, the child who was switched with Lin Xian.”

Lin Zhao stared intently at the two people in front of him.

But the two people in front of him had no expression, and were as calm as if they didn't know him.

Lin Zhao's hands, which were resting on her knees, suddenly clenched, and she felt a sudden tension in her heart.

"And also...your children."

Upon hearing this, the man in the couple suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with sarcasm and a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"No, child, you are wrong..."

Synopsis of "Transmigrating into a Book as the Villainous White Moonlight":

Yu Sui, an obscure, unremarkable actress, transmigrates into the body of a beloved character who returns from abroad in a heart-wrenching romance novel.

As a catalyst for the protagonists' self-destructive love, the white moonlight's ending is extremely tragic.

Fortunately, when You Sui transmigrated, her white moonlight had just returned to the country, and nothing had happened yet.

I thought that without my interference, the main characters would be able to get together soon.

Unexpectedly, the main characters, who were supposed to be together, started fighting as soon as they met, without any hint of romance!

Even the rich kids in the book who looked down on You Sui suddenly changed their attitude.

It seems that You Sui, who caused all of this, had already foreseen his own end.

Just when You Sui was about to leave the country again to escape all of this, he discovered that the protagonist was on the same flight as him!

This made You Sui, who was already panicked, even more frightened.

Looking at the protagonist with a gentle smile on his face, You Sui felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes filled with a hope that was too precious to shatter.

"We...we're still good friends, right?"

The protagonist chuckled softly, lowering his eyes: "Yes, good friend."

"In that case, can I kiss my 'good friend' who left without saying goodbye?"

You Sui was stunned when she heard this: Huh? Good friends can kiss?
