Chapter 391 Ying Zijin: Okay! [1st Update]
His long, strong arms pinned her against the corner of the sofa, encircling her.
A faint scent of jade and sandalwood lingered around my neck and behind my ears, settling on my skin.
It's light and airy, but the tactile sensation is very strong.
This sudden action even caused Ying Zijing to pause her thoughts slightly.
She could never predict what Fu Yunshen would do next, and besides, she never tried to.
Ying Zijin slowly raised her head.
Looking up, the distance seemed even closer.
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingling.
They were so close that their noses touched.
She could clearly see the man's naturally charming peach blossom eyes, slightly curved, as if filled with an entire galaxy.
There was only her reflection in it.
“I heard from Xiu Yu that the number of boys pursuing you at school could fill eleven football teams,” Fu Yunshen said unhurriedly. “They even assigned roles to each other, some as forwards, some as goalkeepers, and they’ve even played matches together in private.”
Ying Zijing's thoughts were still lingering. After a long while, she finally gave a single-word response: "...Hmm?"
Xiu Yu has a favorite hobby: compiling a list of all the boys in school who have given her love letters and grouping them into groups.
This grouping resulted in eleven football teams.
The boys didn't have any objections to this; in fact, they enjoyed it immensely.
I did play a match, but later the head of moral education caught me and made me write a self-criticism.
"So I told her yesterday that I'm planning to join the football team." Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, his tone casual. "But I want to be one person, one team. I'll be the striker and the goalkeeper."
As he said this, his arms were still wrapped around her, and he didn't let go; instead, he tightened his embrace.
Ying Zijin remained silent.
She simply looked at the image of herself in his eyes, her gaze becoming somewhat unfocused.
"Then—" Fu Yunshen spoke again, his voice low and gentle, with a hint of coaxing, "Yaoyao, look, we've known each other for so long, can you give me a special privilege and like me first?"
"Thump, thump, thump."
The sound of my heartbeat became clear at that moment.
This was the first time Ying Zijin had ever felt such a strong heartbeat.
She didn't know what love was.
But at this moment, I understood.
That feeling called "joy" welled up from the bottom of my heart, like fireworks exploding.
Ying Zijing turned her head slightly to avoid his overly direct gaze.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her tone still calm, but tinged with the sadness of parting: "You mean?"
"It's the first time I've liked someone, and I don't know how to tell her." Fu Yunshen released one hand, his fingers slowly stroking her face, and chuckled, "As for me, I've never been to school either; I've always been self-taught in everything else."
"But when it comes to liking you, I consulted many people, afraid that I might do something wrong."
This was the first time he had ever said the word "like".
"Maybe I was just teasing you at first, but everything I said afterward came from the bottom of my heart." Fu Yunshen paused, then said softly, "I'll only be nice to the person I like."
"The world shouldn't bring me such joy, but you've come."
He never thought he would say such a thing to anyone in his entire life.
Even if he doesn't have someone he loves, he doesn't care.
No one requires that you have to be with someone in this life.
For him, it's better to grow old alone than to settle for something less.
But she came.
From then on, his world was filled with light.
Vibrant and dazzling.
Ying Zijin had never known that he could speak so pleasantly.
Her heart, which had been racing wildly on the highway, gradually calmed down: "Seriously?"
“Serious, very serious.” Fu Yunshen gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, then smiled and said in a low voice, “I originally wanted to kiss you directly, but you didn’t agree, so I held back.”
He respects her.
Even if the desire in his heart is strong, he will restrain himself.
Ying Zijing pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I—"
"Yaoyao, no need to rush." Fu Yunshen pressed his fingers to her lips, his voice tinged with laughter and a rising tone, "How about you let me pursue you?"
"What other girls have enjoyed, our Yaoyao can't be lacking either."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing's body relaxed somewhat.
She raised her phoenix eyes: "Okay, then go ahead and give it a try. I'm quite hard to win over."
After saying that, the girl put one hand on his shoulder.
This time, Fu Yunshen's body tensed up, and his voice became somewhat hoarse: "Yaoyao?"
Ying Zijing's hand was still on his shoulder, not letting go: "I'll use it to sit up."
"..."
He genuinely doesn't know whether his child did it intentionally or unintentionally.
But whether it's the former or the latter, they can always easily defeat him.
After sitting up, Ying Zijing took a deep breath, pulled a napkin from the coffee table, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Sweating?" Fu Yunshen turned his head. "I don't think I was sweating at all—"
Before he could finish speaking, his foot was stepped on.
Ying Zijing glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then turned her head and said, "Shut up."
"Okay." Fu Yunshen smiled. "I'm pursuing you now, and I'll do whatever you say."
Ying Zijing picked up the remote control and switched to Grape Channel.
Today happens to be the last episode of "Youth 202", where the audience will choose the final contestants to debut.
Yun and Yue's votes were far ahead of the competition, and their debut in the center position was a foregone conclusion.
The previous shock was too great; she needs to watch a program to calm down.
Fu Yunshen was watching TV, but his attention was always on the girl.
After a long pause, he finally made his request: "Can we hold hands?"
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, glanced at him, and held out her hand, her index finger: "Here, have one."
Fu Yunshen lowered his gaze to the girl, his lips curving into a smile as he chuckled softly, "It's not impossible."
His hand held her fingers; his palm was soft and warm, but it felt different from before.
Ying Zijing's gaze returned to the television.
Twenty minutes later.
Wen Fengmian came out of the kitchen.
At this moment, the two people on the sofa were watching TV, quite far apart, and had no way of knowing what had happened earlier.
The kitchen is not well soundproofed.
However, after making his decision, Fu Yunshen used his internal energy to seal the kitchen door.
This made it even harder for Wen Fengmian to hear.
"Yaoyao, Yunshen, come and eat." Wen Fengmian untied his apron, noticing nothing unusual until he saw the two of them sitting on opposite sides of the table. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "...Why are you sitting so far apart?"
Ying Zijing yawned and lied with a straight face: "He just made me angry."
Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes and readily agreed: "Yes, Uncle, I bullied her, she was angry."
Wen Fengmian shook his head, quite helplessly: "They're spoiled."
Fu Yunshen picked up his chopsticks, a smile curving his lips.
That's really because he spoiled him.
**
Five days later.
March 24th.
Because Fu Yunshen had Yunshan replace all the invitations Ying Zhenting sent out, the Shanghai elite circles have been discussing this matter these past few days.
Although Ying Zhenting tried to silence the media, he couldn't stop so many people.
However, other families were also afraid of the Ying family's power and status in Shanghai, so they didn't dare to talk about it outside, but only discussed it as a joke in private.
Jing Hongzhen could no longer squeeze into high society circles, but she still had connections from before and knew about this matter.
That day, after disguising herself, she went directly to the Ying Group.
Ying Zhenting didn't want to let her in, fearing that something might be exposed.
But in the end, he dismissed his secretary and assistant and took Jing Hongzhen to the rooftop garden.
"Ying Zhenting, what do you mean?" Jing Hongzhen's eyes were cold. "Now, what do you expect her to do?"
Why did she send Ying Yuexuan into the Ying family?
The purpose was to have Ying Yuexuan replace Ying Zijin and take over the identity of the eldest daughter of the Ying family.
In this way, Ying Yuexuan will have the right to inherit the Ying Group.
Marriages among celebrities often place great importance on social status.
How will an adopted daughter get married?
“I’ve already sent people to suppress it.” Ying Zhenting was also very annoyed. “No one in the capital knows about it. Don’t worry, the marriage with the Yuan family will definitely go through.”
The Ying Group has already seen many collaborations fall through, but the reason it hasn't suffered a significant drop in value is still due to its collaboration with a foreign company.
Once Ying Yuexuan marries into the Yuan family, it will be too late even if the Yuan family finds out.
Jing Hongzhen's complexion improved considerably, and her tone softened: "Zhenting, I know you're tired too, but you have to think about our daughter. We can't let others look down on him."
Outside the garden, Ying Yuexuan, who had just come up, paused, her heart skipping a beat.
Then, her face turned deathly pale.
She's not just an adopted daughter, she's also an illegitimate child?!
