Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Are You Trying to Pursue Me?
Fu Sixiu’s long index finger gently tapped on the dining table.
As Chi Gui came out with the dishes, he seemingly casually said, “You won the competition, yet is that all he gave you? It’s really thoughtless.”
Chi Gui took a chopstickful of food and replied indifferently, “He’s just plain dumb.” Follow current novels on novel⁂fire.net
Fu’s brows on one side arched high, a dangerous light flashing through his phoenix eyes behind the glasses.
He chuckled lightly, “Chi, you are still too naive. Men, when they meet a girl they fancy, their IQ instantly shoots beyond 180. If you think he’s dumb, the only possibility is that he’s brushing you off.”
Chi Gui, a bit surprised, looked up, “Why are you telling me this? I’m his sister, not the girl he fancies. What does his IQ have to do with me?”
He found it slightly hard to speak, “Did you just mention Chi Mingkun?”
Chi Gui gave him a look that spoke volumes.
He, being thick-skinned, was used to getting his face slapped by Chi Gui in conversations, so he didn’t really feel much at this moment.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the table, he took out a delicate ornamental box from his pocket and handed it to Chi Gui, his thin lips curled into an enticing smile, “Chi, congratulations on securing second place in the competition.”
Chi Gui had not mentioned the competition to him, yet he knew it crystal clear.
Chi Gui raised an eyebrow, but did not open the gift box. Instead, she looked up directly into Fu Si’s eyes, “Fu Si, are you trying to pursue me?”
She asked bluntly, straightforward without leaving any room for buffering.
Fu Si paused for a moment, then he laughed as well.
He leaned back in his chair, lazily resting against the back, a smile playing on his lips, his slightly upturned phoenix eyes gazing at Chi Gui, he openly admitted, “Yes! Will you let me?”
“I don’t like you,” Chi Gui ignored his question, her expression calm as she looked at him, her rejection straightforward, “I’m not interested in romance at all. Your pursuit will only be a waste of time.”
“Chi, you really are merciless…” Fu Si sighed.
Even though he had anticipated this, hearing her say it out loud… still stung a bit!
His slender fingers slowly removed his glasses.
With no lenses to hinder them, those ink-smudged phoenix eyes became even more captivating, “However, pursuing you is my decision, and whether it’s a waste of time or not is for me to decide.”
“Ah.” Chi Gui did not expect such a response, but having said what she needed to, she felt further words futile, “Suit yourself.”
Back in his own room, Fu Si still felt a bit sad.
He was born with a silver spoon, everything going smoothly in his life, wherever he went people fawned over him, both men and women alike, exceedingly respectful and obsequious.
His greatest challenge in life was Chi Gui.
Right then, Mr. Fu called.
He inquired, as usual, about when he would be returning to the Capital City.
Ever since Fu Si had mentioned he liked a girl who was good at fighting, Mr. Fu had been extremely worried, even becoming distracted while working with porcelain, fearing his son, whose values were already somewhat askew, might completely go astray.
After the usual lecture on love and righteousness, Mr. Fu, with little hope, was ready to hang up.
Unexpectedly, Fu Si took the initiative, “Dad, how can I make a girl who isn’t interested in romance fall for me?”
