Chapter 65 Brother-in-law [VIP]
Before me was a man's half-open collar.
A white shirt with a subtle pattern, revealing a long, straight neck and collarbone that tapers into a slight indentation at the center.
The taut, smooth skin was partially hidden beneath the slightly loose neckline.
Fu Qingyan was still holding Qingran's hand that was holding the wine glass.
Because of his posture, his free hand reached around to the man's lower back and grabbed the fabric, while he tilted his head to bite the third button on the shirt.
A more pronounced scent of agarwood wafts through the air.
The lingering, warm scent evokes images of a pine forest in the afternoon, with beams of sunlight streaming down from the treetops and dust motes dancing in the air like fairies, making one overlook the forest's inherent tranquility.
The button he bit into was cool, but the skin his nose touched was smooth and hot, carrying Fu Qingyan's unique scent, which made his breathing quicken.
He heard a relieved sigh coming from above him.
Low-cut, incredibly sexy.
Fu Qingyan spun his chair and leaned back against the bar, admiring the beautiful scenery before him with his eyes lowered.
The young man was almost half-lying on the chest. From his angle, the body in front of him had a straight back, a slender waist, and a full, peach-like curve.
He drank the red wine in his glass from the young man's hand, then put the glass aside. The remaining alcohol irritated his mouth, and the taste, which he used to find too sweet, now tasted a bit spicy.
The man encouraged him by massaging the flesh of his neck with his palm. Noticing that the button had been bitten open, he pulled the person up by the back of the neck and kissed him.
"Well done."
A vague exclamation of admiration escaped from between his lips.
Qingran's hand, gripping the fabric, slid up to hug the man's firm back, while she slipped her hand inside his increasingly open collar.
Fu Qingyan picked him up.
The cold body of the mechanical watch touched the sensitive skin on her lower back, causing Qingran to shudder involuntarily. She bit the corner of the man's lips and muttered something.
"Hmm...it's very cold."
Fu Qingyan coaxed him in a hoarse voice, "Be good, it will get warm soon."
*
The clock ticked to two in the morning, and the clouds and rain in the bedroom cleared up.
Fu Qingyan tidied up the messy bed, tucked Qingran into the covers, and coaxed her to sleep. He then went to the living room, lit a cigarette, and pondered how to arrange things for Qingran.
After finishing a cigarette, I came to a conclusion.
The man went into the bathroom to brush his teeth again before returning to the bedroom to cuddle with her and fall asleep.
They stayed up late before bed, and the two of them didn't wake up until almost 10 a.m.
The bedroom was dimly lit with the blackout curtains drawn, and two different styles of clothes were tangled and messy on the floor.
On the bed next to him, the bulging blanket shifted, and a disheveled head suddenly peeked out from the man's chest.
Fu Qingyan didn't even open his eyes, tightened his arms, turned his head and kissed his forehead: "Not going to sleep?"
My voice was very hoarse when I woke up this morning.
Qingran shook her head, resting her hand on his chin: "Hungry."
Fu Qingyan reached out and touched his lower abdomen from under the covers. It was so flat it was almost sunken in, and it even made a gurgling sound when Fu Qingyan touched it.
The man was charmed by the boy's cuteness. He opened his eyes, kissed the young man's forehead again, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.
Qingran, wrapped in a blanket, quietly watched him get dressed.
The black silk pajamas concealed the red marks on his back. Fu Qingyan glanced at the person on the bed who seemed oblivious to the need for restraint as he buttoned his clothes.
"If you still want to eat lunch later, don't tempt me."
Qingran pulled the blanket over her head, thinking to herself, "What does it have to do with me if you can't control yourself?"
After a while, when he heard no movement, he quietly pulled the blanket down again.
After getting dressed, Fu Qingyan took a second set of pajamas from the dressing room, the color of which was exactly the same as the one he was wearing.
The man placed the pajamas on the bedside table, leaned down and kissed Qingran's lips: "I ordered takeout, you can still sleep for half an hour."
Then he picked up his clothes from the ground and went outside.
Qingran lay in bed for a while, then got bored, got up, put on men's pajamas, washed up, and went out.
As I walked into the living room, I vaguely heard Fu Qingyan talking on the phone about something related to school.
Qingran raised an eyebrow.
Just then, the doorbell rang. He guessed it was the takeout, so he pretended not to hear anything and went to open the door.
Sure enough, there were takeout orders outside the door.
A waiter dressed in a high-end restaurant uniform, carrying an exquisite food box, was taken aback when he saw Qingran open the door, and then his face turned bright red.
"Hello, are you Mr. Fu?" she stammered.
Qingran tilted her head. Does this mean that high-end takeout requires the customer to pick it up in person?
He had never done this before and didn't know much about it, so he asked, "Mr. Fu is inside. Do you need me to call him out for you?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically as if he had just realized something: "No need." He shoved the takeout into Qingran's hands, covered his burning cheeks, and ran away.
Qingran was baffled by her reaction and could only attribute it to the other person being too shy.
Carrying the takeout back to the living room, he put the food container on the dining table. Fu Qingyan, who had just finished her phone call, came over and hugged him from behind.
“The baby is much more tempting than food.”
A low, gentle voice said in my ear.
Qingran has a small frame, and the man's pajamas, which fit him well, are loose on him. To make it easier for him to move around, he rolled up the cuffs and pant legs.
Even so, large areas of skin on her chest were still exposed to the air.
Black pajamas, white skin, and red hickeys peeking out from her movements, like poisonous poppies drawing Fu Qingyan's gaze.
Qingran didn't speak, but turned her head and exchanged a kiss with the man, following the force of his jaw.
After the kiss, Fu Qingyan closed his eyes to calm his breathing, and after a moment he let go and sat down.
The food was already laid out on the table: four dishes and a soup, all of them on the lighter side.
"What are Qingran's plans for the future?" Fu Qingyan asked him during the meal.
Qingran scooped up a bowl of corn and pork rib soup and sipped it slowly, replying, "I haven't thought too far ahead."
The storyline in this world is quite long. It doesn't end with Xi Qingning kicking her father out of the board of directors and taking control of the company. The story also includes her actively expanding and leading the Xi Group to further success.
Based on the timeline, the finale will likely take place in about five years.
Therefore, Qingran can only think about what to do in the next five years; thinking about things too far in the future is useless.
Fu Qingyan: "Then let's talk about the short-term plan?"
Qingran: "Save money to retake the college entrance exam."
He hadn't planned anything, but he accidentally overheard the man's phone call.
The original owner of this body had always been resentful about not being able to go to university, and since he had nothing better to do, he figured he might as well go to university.
This answer actually matches half of Fu Qingyan's guess.
He had wondered before why Qingran started working at such a young age. He thought it was either because she didn't do well in school and didn't like studying, or because she was in financial difficulty, or a combination of both.
It now appears that the reason is the middle item.
The man hesitated for a few seconds: "Your parents?" Normally, the parents should be responsible for the child's tuition.
Qingran didn't hide anything: "My adoptive father doesn't want to waste money on me, and my adoptive mother has no opinions of her own and listens to my adoptive father."
His tone was neither dissatisfied nor resentful. He stared at the soup in the bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon. His black eyelashes cast a small shadow on his eyelids, making him look both resilient and fragile.
He said softly, "Later I learned by chance that all I had suffered was because I was not their biological child, so I came out on my own."
Fu Qingyan paused, realizing that Qingran's background was far more complicated than he had imagined.
He put down his chopsticks: "Your biological parents' side..."
Qingran nodded: "At least we need to find them and figure out their thoughts and attitudes."
He looked up and smiled at Fu Qingyan.
"Don't worry, I'm all grown up now. I'm way past the age of craving my parents' love. I just wanted to find them so I wouldn't live my whole life in a daze."
"And I already have some leads on their whereabouts."
Fu Qingyan failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind the last sentence.
His controlling nature made him want to get involved, but he was also worried that Qingran would think he was meddling too much, so he simply said, "Tell me anytime you need help."
"I know," Qingran put down her spoon and rested her chin on her hand. "You've only asked me. What about you? What are your future plans?"
"Working routinely and living an ordinary life, playing the role of a mature and steady heir in the eyes of parents."
Qingran was surprised.
Fu Qingyan smiled faintly: "Didn't expect that? Would you be even more surprised if I told you that my mother once wanted to raise me into a gentle, refined, and flawless young nobleman?"
Whether he's perfect or not is unclear, but as for his gentle and refined manners... it reminds me of how the man behaved in bed last night.
More like a scoundrel.
After having brunch, it was already 11 a.m. The two of them didn't eat lunch and instead spent some time watching a movie in the media room.
Around 2 PM, Qingran received a call from an unknown number.
The caller identified himself as Mr. Li, the friend Eric had mentioned yesterday who wanted to ask Qingran to try on clothes.
"What's up?"
After finishing the call, Fu Qingyan asked him.
The theater was dark so the movie screen could be used for watching movies, and the flickering images on the screen cast shadows on the man.
Qingran curled up in his arms, exuding an overly indulgent languor, and nodded, saying, "I have a model interview."
Fu Qingyan touched his flushed face: "You also work as a model?"
“She’s a print model,” Qingran corrected, then explained how she came into the industry by chance.
"The pay for flat molds is pretty good, and the cost-effectiveness is quite high, so I would give it a try if there is a suitable opportunity."
Fu Qingyan: "Why didn't you focus on this line of work?" Being a model is much easier than delivering food in all kinds of weather.
Qingran pursed her lips: "I'm not tall enough. What if I can't eat if I do this full-time?"
With that face alone, Qingran could never go hungry.
As long as he's willing to step into the modeling world, it's like he's already halfway into the entertainment industry, and there will be plenty of discerning people vying for him.
But Fu Qingyan also knew how chaotic the entertainment industry was. If Qingran had really entered the industry before she met him... better safe than sorry.
I felt a sense of relief.
But he jokingly replied, "Oh? Not enough? I think it's just right."
He leaned down and whispered in the young man's ear: "Standing is just right."
Qingran abruptly turned her head and buried her face in the man's chest, revealing only her two bright red ears.
He scoffed inwardly, "A repressed pervert."
He acts all refined and respectable in front of outsiders, but in private he's a completely different person, saying all sorts of lewd things.
Fu Qingyan used the back of her hand to cool down Qingran's reddened ears, remembering Qingran's words: "If you're short of money—"
He has no shortage of money and is very willing to spend it on his precious child.
Qingran quickly raised her hand to cover the man's mouth, preventing him from speaking, and then raised her head as well.
"don't want."
Fu Qingyan frowned; he didn't like Qingran keeping things too separate from him.
But seeing the young man's resolute expression, he ultimately backed down.
"Since you don't need my help, then move in with me."
He kissed the young man's astonished eyes: "This time, we can't refuse again."
