Chapter 73 Brother-in-law [VIP]
The kiss came fiercely and urgently, prying open her lips and teeth and plunging deep inside, quickly taking over Qingran's entire breath.
He braced himself against the man's shoulders and tried to push him away, but the man, who was familiar with his sensitive spots, gently stroked his side waist, and he lost the strength to struggle.
The hand that had been pushing her away gradually relaxed and instead clung to the man's broad shoulders.
As the kiss deepened, intimate sounds of kissing and low moans escaped from between their intertwined lips.
The man was wearing a casual shirt today, with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows. At this moment, the fabric of the shirt was unconsciously gripped tightly by his hand, which was resting on his shoulder.
The fabric of the clothes was pure black, soft and crisp, while the hand that gripped it was fair and delicate, with perfectly proportioned, slender fingers that resembled meticulously carved jade.
"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong."
The only sounds in the quiet air were the mingling breaths, the beating of hearts, and the thumping of blood.
So the clattering sound of the cleaner pushing his cart past behind the door became extremely noticeable at this moment.
As if startled awake, Qingran suddenly pushed away the person in front of her.
The unsuspecting man took two steps back to steady himself. His lips were wet, and his gaze towards Qingran, unhidden by his glasses, was filled with intense lust.
"...We can't do this," Qingran said, trying to catch her breath, not daring to look into the man's eyes, which seemed to want to devour her whole.
Fu Qingyan looked into his eyes, which were filled with affection as if they were soaked in water. Below, his nostrils flared rapidly, and his swollen lips were slightly parted as he breathed heavily, like rose petals that had been ravaged and were oozing sap.
Fu Qingyan wiped the dampness from the corner of his lips with his thumb, watching the young man lift his foot, one step, two steps, until the toe of his leather shoe touched another person's.
With nowhere left to retreat, Qingran pressed herself even closer to the wall behind her, tilting her head to look at the smooth floor tiles beside her.
Then a hand lifted his chin, forcing him to look the man in the eye.
Fu Qingyan leaned down and pressed his forehead and nose against his, nuzzling him affectionately as he whispered, "Why not?"
There was no excessive coercion, yet the sense of oppression was very strong.
The man's figure completely filled Qingran's field of vision, making the air in front of her seem thinner.
Qingran pursed her lips and remained silent.
Fu Qingyan tilted his head and kissed that rosy cheek, rubbing his lips together as he murmured, "You just responded to me, so you want mine too, don't you?"
Below, a leg dressed in crisp trousers squeezed between the two legs, making the two bodies even closer together without leaving a single gap.
The man's watch-wearing hand gripped the young man's supple waist; the blue veins on the back of his hand snaked like a giant python, both fierce and erotic.
The skillful teasing around her waist and the passionate kisses in front of her quickly overwhelmed Qingran.
Unable to advance or retreat, with no way to dodge.
He could only manage a gasp, tinged with tears, between kisses:
"Brother-in-law...no."
The man paused for a moment, his brain filled with conflicting emotions of repulsion and excitement, making his blood boil.
He sighed softly, "You asked for this, baby."
"Hmm..."
The skillful kiss made Qingran's eyes red and wet. He frowned and let out two soft moans uncontrollably.
The hand on the man's wrist initially pushed him away, but then subconsciously tightened its grip and caressed him, perfectly conveying the irresistible urge to resist despite wanting to refuse.
Fu Qingyan grasped his hand in return, their fingers intertwined.
After the kiss ended, the man caught his breath and asked, "What are your concerns?"
Qingran's chest heaved violently. Hearing the sound, she looked at him blankly, appearing alluring as if she hadn't yet recovered from the intense passion.
Fu Qingyan's heart softened, and he lowered his head to kiss her: "Baby is so cute."
Qingran seemed to snap out of her daze, realizing she could no longer deceive herself after her earlier reaction, and voiced her concerns:
"In the eyes of most people in the know, you are still Sister Qingning's boyfriend."
“…I understand.” Fu Qingyan said after a long while.
Hiding things has never been in his nature, but what's wrong with having a secret relationship for Qingran?
At that moment, Jiang Ling's worthless face unexpectedly popped into his mind, only to be calmly dismissed by the man.
"I will be careful to act prudently until the matter is clarified on a large scale."
"Mmm." Qingran responded softly, a hint of a smile finally appearing on her face after a cold night.
"Satisfied now?" Seeing his expression, Fu Qingyan both laughed and sighed.
Before today, how could he have imagined that as the heir of the Fu family, he would have a day when he was in a relationship that couldn't be made public?
To be more precise, he never thought he would be in a relationship before he met Qingran.
Qingran didn't respond to that, but glanced at the watch on his wrist: "We should go back. If we stay away for too long, people will get suspicious."
The two separated and each adjusted their clothes and expressions.
Fu Qingyan picked up the gold-rimmed glasses from the ground. Fortunately, the lenses were not broken, only a little dusty.
He wiped the tissue on the bridge of his nose, then looked up and saw his swollen, bluish lips. He touched them with the back of his finger: "It's too obvious."
Qingran also raised her hand to touch it, only to find it both hot and numb. Then she glared at the man and said, "You used too much force."
She was both annoyed and angry, yet she was incredibly alluring.
Fu Qingyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he smiled apologetically, "Okay, it's my fault."
Qingran ignored him, pushed open the door to the stairwell, looked around, and saw that the corridor was quiet and deserted. She then said to the person who came out with her, "You can go back first. I'm going to the restroom."
The intention to avoid suspicion is very clear.
Fu Qingyan raised an eyebrow inwardly.
My darling is really like that – she turned on him the moment she was done with him, and now she wants to distance herself from him completely.
He wouldn't go back on his promise, so Fu Qingyan nodded and returned to the private room first.
Everyone in the private room had almost finished eating. Xi Qingsong was playing on his phone, while Xi Zhenye and his wife were arguing quietly and didn't notice Fu Qingyan coming in.
Xi Qingning asked, "Why did you come back alone? Didn't you go with Qingran?"
“He’s behind me,” Fu Qingyan said.
Xi Qingning forked a piece of fruit and ate it, tentatively asking, "Why were you gone for so long?"
The man said casually, "We chatted for a bit, and I asked him about his past life."
Distracted, Xi Qingning frowned: "How did that couple treat him?"
"Your brother, you're asking me?" the man asked with a half-smile.
Xi Qingning laughed awkwardly, "Oh dear, I was too busy before and didn't have time."
Fu Qingyan stroked his wine glass and replied, "Not very good."
"Or rather, it's terrible."
When Qingran returned after tidying up, the conversation in the private room had already come to an end.
Xi Zhenye pulled Fu Qingyan aside and started talking about business, while Xi Qingning rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
Noticing his presence, the man's gaze passed over Xi Zhenye's bulky figure in front of him.
Qingran avoided his gaze, and with her lips, which had been concealed by spiritual power and showed no signs of abnormality, she walked over and sat down next to Xi Qingning.
"Sister Qingning, when are we leaving?" he asked in a low voice.
Xi Qingning chewed on her fruit and asked him, "Bored, aren't you?"
Qingran: "A little."
The news she had just heard from Lao Fu made Xi Qingning feel even more sorry for her unlucky younger brother who had managed to find his way back. Looking at the mother and son sitting closely together across from her, she felt even more affection for them.
He pushed the fruit platter in front of Qingran: "Wait here."
Then he interrupted Xi Zhenye, who was engrossed in the conversation, saying, "Dad, it's getting late. You don't want to rest, but Old Fu does."
Xi Zhenye glanced at the time and realized it was almost nine o'clock. He reluctantly ended his long-winded discussion.
The group set off to leave.
Fu Qingyan, with great gentlemanly manners, let the Xi family go first. When it was Qingran's turn to pass, he secretly took Qingran's hand, taking advantage of the fact that the people in front couldn't see him.
Qingran struggled free and ran to Xi Qingning's side.
The man gritted his teeth inwardly.
He had been drinking that night and couldn't drive. After getting into the car, Xi Zhenye remembered this and, with a little ulterior motive, asked Xi Qingning to give him a ride.
Fu Qingyan replied that it wasn't necessary, saying that he had called a driver and the person had already arrived.
“Then we won’t see you off,” Xi Qingning immediately replied, not wanting to go along with her father’s wishes at all.
He called to Qingran, "Get in the car."
"Wait a moment," Fu Qingyan said, looking at Qingran. "I brought you a gift; it's in my car."
A moment later, the man returned with the gift and handed it to Qingran: "Congratulations on getting rid of the shadows and welcoming a new life."
With outsiders present, Qingran appeared somewhat hesitant.
Xi Qingning squinted at the two of them and gestured to Qingran, "Take it."
Qingran then thanked her and accepted the gift: "Thank you."
This time, it was Fu Qingyan's turn to squint. He glanced at the person who was observing with his arms crossed. Was Qingran really listening to his sister Qingning?
"What are you looking at?" Xi Qingning raised her chin silently.
"We've had our meal and given you our gifts, so let's call it a day."
She helped Qingran into the car, then got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and leaned out to say to the man standing outside, "Goodbye!"
The car sped away.
Fu Qingyan, whose face was sprayed with exhaust fumes, carefully wiped his face clean with a wet tissue and put his glasses back on.
After a long pause: "...Heh."
*
Back at the villa, Xi Qingning left behind the old man who was nagging her for not knowing how to seize the opportunity to win over Fu Qingyan, and followed Qingran ahead.
Just before Qingran went up to the second floor and was about to return to her room.
"Qingran, do you know Lao Fu?" she called out to the young man in front of her.
After the other person turned around, she said in a serious tone, "I mean before today."
Qingran didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Without needing to ask any more questions, Xi Qingning was certain that Qingran was the boyfriend that Lao Fu had mentioned!
She said that Lao Fu wasn't the type to be curious about other people's affairs, so why would he suddenly host this dinner party?
The atmosphere between the two during the meal was strange; although they didn't exchange a single word, there was a familiar and intimate feeling between them.
They then disappeared together for a while...
Thinking of this, her eyes grew even more stern: "When you were with Lao Fu, did you know about our relationship?"
She needed to determine Qingran's purpose in returning.
Qingran told a white lie, shaking her head and saying, "I only learned about your situation from Mr. Fu's friend the day before I came back."
He had no intention of targeting Xi Qingning, and there was no need to make her overthink things.
"He didn't tell you?!" Xi Qingning exclaimed in surprise.
Qingran defaulted.
"That old Fu, what a scumbag!" the woman cursed indignantly, but secretly she felt relieved.
She really didn't want Qingran to come back specifically to target her; otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated to punish him, even if he were her own brother.
"But don't worry, Lao Fu and I are just friends, there's absolutely no romantic relationship between us!" She raised three fingers to swear.
"You can tell by his sexual orientation being male, but I'm too focused on my work to have time for romance."
Qingran: "I believe you, Sister Qingning."
"That's good," Xi Qingning said, feeling more relaxed. "It's getting late, go back to your room and get some rest."
Goodnight, Sister Qingning.
The door closed in front of her, and Xi Qingning was still caught in the unreal feeling of her old friend dating her younger brother. In her daze, she couldn't help but realize something.
If they meet again in the future, shouldn't Lao Fu call her "sister"?
She laughed inwardly.
Hahahaha! Fu Qingyan, you've finally met your match!
Inside the room, Qingran took out a palm-sized square gift box from the gift bag as she walked in.
I pushed the lid open with my thumb, and before my eyes flashed a glimpse of a sparkling silver chain lying quietly inside the box.
The silver chain, adorned entirely with exquisitely cut diamonds, lay on a black sponge pad, shimmering brilliantly under the bright lights.
The system retrieves information about the corresponding item from the database: [Oh, it's an anklet!]
Qingran's lips curled up slightly, and she snorted: [A fake scripture.]
I placed the gift, still in its box, on the bedside table, grabbed a set of pajamas, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Besides the gifts, there was another item on the bedside table: a paternity test report.
If you turn the page to the next section, you will find a line of text above the identification results indicating the identification time.
April 26th.
It was the day before Qingran overheard Fu Qingyan's conversation with his friend.
*
With the Labor Day holiday over, working people have resumed their usual work life of leaving early and returning late, and Fu Qingyan is no exception.
The recent commotion at home has subsided, and as in the original storyline, it seems that Xi Zhenye and his wife will still keep their beloved adopted son.
Qingran didn't care and planned to take this time to resolve the issue of the original owner's adoptive parents.
He was not very satisfied with how Xi Zhenye was handled in the plot.
Wu Cuilian deserves to go to prison, but it would be too lenient for Xu Guoqiang to just let it go after being threatened and warned.
[Host, didn't you say before that you had no causal relationship with the original owner?] The system subtly reminded him.
Why would she help the original owner vent her anger?
Qingran: [...just a small thing.]
He was about to instruct the system to send some ambiguous messages to Xu Guoqiang and Wu Cuilian's phones, so that the two would associate his disappearance with the Xi family.
At this moment, Xi Zhenye found him and said, "I've prepared a formal debut banquet for you on the 20th. During this time, learn the basic etiquette of high society. Don't embarrass the Xi family."
Xi Zhenye had never considered holding a formal banquet before, because he felt it would be shameful to air his dirty laundry in public.
Later, Fu Qingyan reminded him, and he had a sudden inspiration.
Since even the young Mr. Fu, the heir to the Yongming dynasty, is interested in this matter, it is certainly a good opportunity to build connections.
Qingran first instructed the system to postpone the plan, and then replied, "Now that you mention it, I really want to see how the Xi family will lose face."
Xi Zhenye immediately wanted to get angry, but for some reason he felt a little scared when he met Qing Ran's calm and unwavering eyes.
He gave himself a way out.
"In short, this represents your future image in the eyes of other people in the industry, so treat it well and don't take it lightly."
He turned around and frowned deeply.
No wonder he and Xiuyan couldn't get close to this child; he was like a thorn in their side, not affectionate at all!
With the excuse of learning etiquette, Qingran rarely accepted Fu Qingyan's invitations to go out in the following days, showing that she still had some reservations about his former brother-in-law.
Fu Qingyan couldn't do anything about him.
Fortunately, the matter has been clarified, and he comforted himself by telling himself to take things slowly.
Until the 20th, the Xi family lavishly booked a five-star hotel to hold a banquet.
At 7 p.m., Fu Qingyan arrived at the banquet on time after receiving the invitation.
The man wore a custom-made black suit, the well-tailored fabric perfectly outlining his tall and straight figure, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. A pair of handsome blue-dyed glasses perched on his nose, exuding an elegant and refined demeanor.
Qingran wore a white dress, the elegant white perfectly complementing his skin tone. His hair was jet black, and his lips were rosy red, giving him a stunning, pristine look, like snowflakes falling from the sky.
He stood beside Xi Zhenye and his wife to greet the guests. When he reached out his hand, his wrist was smooth and white, without any jewelry.
"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Fu," Qingran said with a polite smile.
"Qingyan is here, please come in quickly!" Xi Zhenye said loudly, intentionally using the form of address to show his closeness to the Fu family.
The man withdrew his gaze from his wrist, lowered his eyebrows, exchanged a few polite words, and walked inside.
A waiter brought over a tray filled with wine.
Fu Qingyan casually picked up a glass of champagne and couldn't help but glance back.
At the entrance, Qingran stood with his back to him, greeting the next guest.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, the young man tilted his head slightly back and then shifted his feet.
A glint of light flashed beneath the cropped trouser legs.
That is...
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, he pursed his dry lips, picked up his glass, and took a big gulp.
