Seeing Zhuang Yizhan's appearance, Fu Qingruo felt a pang of unease and inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
She frowned and glared at Chu Lin unhappily. "Why isn't he good enough? From head to toe, in what way is he inferior to you? Of course he's qualified to be my boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, not only Chu Lin, but even Zhuang Yizhan was stunned.
Although they were already dating, they were still some distance away from making their relationship official.
He said those things just now only to make Chu Linxin give up and stop bothering Fu Qingruo.
Surprisingly, she actually admitted it?
For a moment, he was overwhelmed with gratitude and didn't know how to express his feelings.
"Are you kidding me?" Chu Lin was completely enraged. "Don't you hate him? I get it, you're acting again, aren't you? You want him to pretend to be your boyfriend so I'll give up on you, isn't that it?"
"Acting?" Fu Qingruo scoffed. "During the time we were acting together, did you ever even once admit to being my girlfriend?"
Chu Lin was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.
Fu Qingruo then added mercilessly, "Never. I have never been attracted to you, let alone had any feelings for you. If it weren't for the purpose of drawing out your true intentions, I would feel disgusted even to be in the same air as you."
I have never held your hand, never wanted to touch you, and never uttered a single line about love, because I hate you and don't like you at all.
But he's different.
At this point, Fu Qingruo suddenly raised her head, her gaze clear and earnest, looking directly into Zhuang Yizhan's eyes, "Zhuang Yizhan, I admit that I like you, or rather, I developed feelings for you back when we first met many years ago."
You're different from others. Even when I was completely drunk, you never thought of taking advantage of me. Instead, you silently stayed by my bedside all night.
It's often said that men are driven by their lower instincts, especially when faced with a woman they like, they're bound to be unable to control their impulses.
At the time, she took the initiative to kiss him while she was drunk, even though it was a big risk, she had seduced him first.
She could sense that Zhuang Yizhan was acting strangely, but he managed to restrain himself and did not harm her in the slightest.
If someone were to hear these remarks, they might find her naive and ridiculous.
Fu Qingruo genuinely felt that Zhuang Yizhan was a good person, but... she didn't distinguish whether her feelings for him came from impulse or sincerity, so she chose to refuse to leave.
When they met again after many years, her calm and tranquil heart was stirred once more, and she knew that she could no longer escape him.
"I've fallen for you, and I'd like to be your girlfriend." With those soft words, Fu Qingruo mustered her courage and leaned in to kiss his lips.
Instantly separate.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it illuminated Zhuang Yizhan's entire world; the fiery passion that burst forth in his eyes seemed to set her on fire.
Chu Lin clenched his fists tightly, his face contorted with jealousy.
This was the kiss he had always dreamed of, but now it had been taken away by another man.
At that moment, a strong, bone-chilling killing intent surged within him.
No longer caring about the occasion, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, "I'll kill you!!!"
The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and a large group of well-trained assassins rushed out and attacked Zhuang Yizhan swiftly.
Chu Lin had already thought it through: once he killed Zhuang Yizhan, he would kidnap Fu Qingruo and take her abroad.
He was determined to go all out to get this woman.
Before the group of assassins could even touch Zhuang Yizhan's clothes, Fu Qingruo's side had even more bodyguards and guards rushing out.
One group consisted of people specially assigned by the Fu family to protect her in secret.
The other batch was transferred from Shen Manqing by Yi Tianran, who was wary of them.
Both groups were highly skilled, and even though Chu Lin's side consisted of assassins, they were already outnumbered.
In the final battle, Chu Lin's men were naturally left with bruises and blood, collapsing to the ground in a sorry state, unable to even get up.
"That's it?" Zhuang Yizhan, who was being protected by his girlfriend, not only didn't feel ashamed, but instead said smugly, "Chu Lin, do you think China is a place for a little beast like you to run wild? With this little bit of fighting power, you dare to come out and make a fuss? You should go back to your mother's arms and suckle, you coward!"
The overwhelming rage emanating from Chu Lin in an instant was enough to make people within a ten-mile radius tremble with fear.
However, Zhuang Yizhan and Fu Qingruo remained unfazed and unaffected in the slightest.
"You just wait and see!" Chu Lin said this harshly before turning and leaving.
Zhuang Yizhan, however, paid him no heed. Instead, he turned and gazed intently at Fu Qingruo, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Ruo Ruo, what you just said, was it true?"
Fu Qingruo raised her pretty eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Zhuang Yizhan was excited, but still a little worried. "You didn't say that on purpose to make him angry, did you?"
“He’s not worth that much!” Seeing that he was still worried, Fu Qingruo cupped his face in her hands and repeated, “Really, I like you.”
Zhuang Yizhan was overjoyed in an instant. Ignoring the occasion, he hugged her and spun her around. "That's great, you're mine now, that's great..."
Fu Qingruo's personality originally made it impossible for her to accept this.
But thinking of his perseverance and dedication over the years, I couldn't help but soften and let him go.
...
Upon hearing that Zhuang Yizhan and Fu Qingruo had confirmed their relationship, Yi Tianran was even happier than if she herself had fallen in love.
It's like an elderly mother witnessing her son's growth firsthand, unable to hold back her bitter tears.
However, upon learning of Chu Lin's threat, a cold glint involuntarily flashed in her eyes.
This is truly an unkillable rat.
If they insist on making things difficult for the most important person in her life, then she can no longer sit idly by and wait for her doom.
After learning from Yi Tianran about her suspicions about Chu Lin, Kasha said worriedly, "But didn't you say that he might know your teacher's whereabouts?"
A glint of light flashed in Yi Tianran's eyes: "Yes! So I plan to—play the long game."
"What do you want to do? Do you need my cooperation?" Kasha excitedly stepped forward, also wanting to catch this suspected murderer who had killed many young girls.
Yi Tianran leaned close to her ear and told her about her plan.
A few days later, Chu Lin heard something from his capable assistant: "Sir, recently an international collector has appeared on the black market. It is said that he is collecting all kinds of antiques, treasures and collectibles. He said that as long as it has history, no matter where it came from, he is willing to buy it no matter how much money is offered!"
I specifically investigated and confirmed the other party's identity; he is indeed a billionaire from Country N with hundreds of billions of US dollars!
