Chapter 11 Gift
Fu Yan followed Wen Yao and Fu Jinzhi in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the sofa in Fu Jinzhi's living room.
"Biu~" Wen Yao tossed her a small box.
"What's this?" Fu Yan opened the box, inside was a glittering gold bracelet, both tacky and dazzling. "So vulgar."
"You're not old enough to understand the value of gold," Wen Yao earnestly explained. Gold is never vulgar; it's always fashionable.
"I'm older than you, aren't I? I'm not old enough yet, but you are?" Fu Yan retorted sarcastically.
Born into the Fu family, she never lacked money and never considered the cost-effectiveness of buying things, so she found it hard to understand the destructive power of gold for ordinary people.
Although she was a little reluctant, it was a gift from Wen Yao after all, so Fu Yan wore it on her hand despite her reluctance. To her surprise, she found that it looked pretty good, making her hand appear fair and slender.
“This is a lucky charm,” Wen Yao said with satisfaction as Fu Yan put it on. “Gold can ward off evil spirits and turn away bad luck.”
Hurry up and get rid of the bad luck brought by An Rourou, so you don't fall for it again.
"Don't I have a gift, wife?" Fu Jinzhi was about to go upstairs to work, but when he saw Wen Yao giving something to Fu Yan, he immediately stopped.
He leaned against the stair railing, his beautiful features framed by the light, and his usually cool voice sounded sweet and coquettish.
"8848, I want to report Consort Fu for seducing me and disrupting the morale of the army. Her crime is unforgivable!" Wen Yao complained to the system in a daze.
【My suggestion is that you give in, so your task will be simple and my job will be easy.】8848's mechanical voice was flat.
"That won't do. Haven't you heard it? If you have no man in your heart, you'll naturally be a god when you draw your sword."
"Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
Wen Yao spoke with unwavering conviction, exuding a sharp, almost aggressive air, as if she were about to slay peach blossoms with a sword.
Fu Jinzhi waited for a long time without a response. The curve of his lips slightly drooped, and his expression was disappointed, like a pear blossom battered by a rainstorm. "Really, there isn't one."
Good heavens, who can handle this?
Wen Yao knew that Fu Jinzhi was just putting on an act, but his top-tier good looks and pitiful act were truly heart-wrenching.
"Yes, yes, I've already prepared your gift." Wen Yao nodded hurriedly.
She ran upstairs to her room to get a gift from Fu Jinzhi.
Fu Jinzhi was slightly taken aback. He was just teasing Wen Yao and didn't expect that she would actually give him something.
With a flickering light in his eyes, Fu Jinzhi lifted his leg to follow, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fu Yan also get up, so he immediately cast a warning glance at her.
Fu Yan gritted her teeth and slammed back onto the sofa. "What kind of gift is this? I can't even take a look? You two are like a highway mosaic couple!"
Frustrated, Fu Yan had no idea what was happening upstairs.
Just as Wen Yao handed the heavy gift to Fu Jinzhi, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind.
[Ding, quest triggered: Wen Yao gives Fu Jinzhi a gift? Absolutely not! The only gift Wen Yao would ever give Fu Jinzhi would be a green hat (a symbol of infidelity).]
[Please, within three days, act as Fu Jinzhi's wife and give him a cuckold's horns. Completing this task will unlock a random storyline.]
8848 and Wen Yao were both dumbfounded.
On the other side, Fu Jinzhi's eyelids slightly lifted and his pupils twitched.
"This is the gift you gave me?"
Fu Jinzhi is now glad that she didn't let Fu Yan come along, otherwise she would definitely be laughed at to death.
He had to unwrap five layers of packaging before he could finally take out his gift.
A thick, hardcover edition of the Criminal Law.
How ridiculous! He actually thought Wen Yao had finally come to her senses...
"You're giving me this so you can broaden my ideas for making money?"
"The methods for getting rich quick are all written in the criminal law, right?"
Fu Jinzhi's voice was deep and elegant, and there was a faint hint of mockery in his peach blossom eyes.
"NO! Utterly wrong!" Wen Yao snapped out of her shock, looked at Fu Jinzhi warily, and let out a sharp shout.
Later in the original story, in order to pursue the female lead who had fled abroad and was hiding under the wing of the local H gang leader, this protagonist had many "glorious deeds" of threatening, intimidating, engaging in vicious market competition, and even hiring hitmen to kill.
"I gave you the Criminal Law so that you could study it in your spare time and learn from it, not so that you could learn from it."
"We hope you can become an outstanding entrepreneur in the new era, abide by laws and regulations, pay taxes on time, and provide employment opportunities to give back to society."
"skr!"
The bedroom was deathly silent.
After a long while, Fu Jinzhi covered his forehead and burst into unrestrained laughter.
Fu Jinzhi had once heard of a medical case where a little boy had a mental disorder and had never laughed since birth, but would get a stomachache whenever he heard a joke.
He now strongly suspects that Wen Yao's parents misjudged her when she was born.
Otherwise, what kind of nonsense is she talking about?
“Wen Yao.” Fu Jinzhi straightened up after laughing, his eyes meeting Wen Yao’s confused round eyes with a serious expression. “With my personal assets, I could support my whole family for three generations and still not spend all of it.”
“I had no need to take any risks, nor did I have any criminal motive.”
“If you pay more attention to the Fu family, you will find that I submit a large number of charitable proposals every year.”
“I am certainly not a great philanthropist, but I am definitely not a suspect in a typical criminal case.”
Wen Yao remained silent. In fact, she wasn't questioning Fu Jinzhi. Although they had only known each other for a few days, Wen Yao had already gained a basic understanding of him.
Unlike the ruthless, cold-hearted, and hurtful characters in typical domineering CEO novels, Fu Jinzhi is diligent and hardworking, polite and courteous, and possesses an aristocratic demeanor.
She loves to laugh and joke; she's a real, living person.
Fu Jinzhi was unaware that this world was controlled by the world's consciousness, and that everyone was being manipulated like puppets for the sake of its darling.
Just like Fu Jinzhi in the original novel, he was gradually led astray and destroyed, eventually becoming the female lead's exclusive male lead, lost in ridiculous love and hate, and unable to find a trace of his former self.
Wen Yao suddenly wondered how the real Fu Jinzhi would view his white moonlight and his substitute.
"That Miss An today looks a lot like your childhood sweetheart, An Ruoruo, doesn't she?"
Fu Jinzhi was slightly taken aback, not knowing how the topic had turned to this. "Does it look like it? It's just an appearance."
In fact, he had a very bad impression of An Rourou. As she said, they used to go to the same school, so she must also know An Ruoruo.
Fu Jinzhi's complete lack of recollection of her proves that she was not like An Ruoruo before, so why would she imitate the clothing and style of a deceased person?
Fu Jinzhi was too lazy to maliciously speculate about An Rourou's intentions, but he naturally couldn't develop any good feelings towards her.
"Then will you make up for your regrets about An Ruoruo through her?" Wen Yao clenched her fists nervously, her clear eyes fixed on Fu Jinzhi without blinking.
"How could you think that way?" Fu Jinzhi chuckled. "Ruo Ruo is gone. If I'm nice to others, whose regret am I making up for?"
"Is it mine? I'm not that bored. If it's Ruoruo, then it's someone else. I can tell the difference."
Suddenly remembering something, Fu Jinzhi smiled teasingly, "You don't mind the rumors about me and Ruoruo, do you?"
"To be honest, we are very good friends, but we are just friends."
Wen Yao wanted to drag 8848 out and give him a good beating again. Fu Jinzhi didn't seem to be lying, so the male lead and the white moonlight didn't have any ambiguous past.
Yes, none of the important plot points in the outline are currently accurate.
