Chapter 59: I’m Pursuing Her

“Second Young Master Fu, what exactly is your relationship with Shi Yue?” Old Master Jiang asked carefully.

Fu Qing Han lowered his eyes. A soft warmth floated in them, like spring water covered with ice and snow, quietly melting. Countless feelings stirred, unspoken.

He only said a few words. His voice was cool, yet carried a different kind of warmth. “I’m pursuing her.”

Those words hit even harder, and they were different from saying girlfriend outright.

Pursuing her meant he hadn’t gotten her.

And what did “hadn’t gotten her” mean?

That was white moonlight. That was a red rose.

A presence you would never grow tired of.

Old Master Jiang felt a strange sense of relief, and he even secretly hoped Jiang Shi Yue would accept a little later.

Jiang Shi Yue nodded. “Exactly. Young Master Zhou, why don’t you compete fairly with Little Fu?”

Zhou Tong He really was about to kneel and call her Great Aunt.

I just wanted to flirt with you.

But you wanted my life.

He forced a smile, almost to the point of nodding and bowing. “Miss Jiang, your joke is really funny, haha.” He gave two dry laughs, trying to make the atmosphere less tense.

Behind them, Old Master Jiang’s eyes spun, and his abacus started clicking even more happily. He heard Jiang Shi Yue call Fu Qing Han “Little Fu.”

Even if she were a girlfriend, she probably wouldn’t dare call him that.

More importantly, Fu Qing Han didn’t refute it, and he showed no displeasure at all.

It was clear Jiang Shi Yue really was different in Fu Qing Han’s heart.

“Second Young Master Fu, what do you like about our Shi Yue?” Old Master Jiang asked in the tone of an elder showing concern, but he truly couldn’t understand it. With Fu Qing Han’s status, what kind of stunning beauty hadn’t he seen?

So why did he fall for a little girl like this?

The Jiang Family compared to the Fu Family – that wasn’t just reaching up, it was reaching beyond the sky.

Fu Qing Han didn’t answer, but Jiang Shi Yue spoke instead.

She looked completely serious as she said, “Isn’t it because I’m good-looking?”

Old Master Jiang: He had never seen someone so shameless.

Fu Qing Han glanced at Jiang Shi Yue and saw the young girl beaming, completely detached as she watched the drama. The corner of his lips lifted slightly.

But then his expression returned to its usual calm. “If the three of you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to Shi Yue alone.”

How could they mind?

Who would dare mind?!

But Jiang Shi Yue stopped the three of them. She raised her brows in surprise. “Why are you leaving? I just said I’m very angry. Did you forget?”

Old Master Jiang was the first to react, because they had just spoken rudely about Jiang Shi Yue’s mother.

His face looked a little ugly, but he still forced a smile. “Shi Yue, your grandmother was just anxious earlier. Don’t take it to heart.”

As he spoke, he tugged at Old Madam Jiang.

Old Madam Jiang felt unhappy. What elder apologized to a youngster? But in front of Fu Qing Han, she didn’t dare make a scene. She could only swallow the anger in her chest, because the person before her was extraordinary.

She forced her tone to sound kind. “Shi Yue, it’s grandmother’s fault. Grandmother spoke without thinking, so don’t be angry anymore. Your mother really was a good daughter-in-law, it’s just that the Jiang Family was unfortunate.”

Zhou Tong He was quick to read the room too. Pretty words poured out of him like they cost nothing. “A daughter this outstanding – that’s because the genes are good. It’s just a shame I wasn’t fated to meet Auntie. I never got the chance to see her elegance.”

“Don’t call her Auntie. If my mom were still alive, she wouldn’t be much older than you. That’s a bit rude.” Jiang Shi Yue raised a brow, clearly disagreeing.

Zhou Tong He: …
