BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 - Beau
Chapter 233: Beau
Gong Zhi pushed the prawns to Fu Qingye. Having made her mind to ship those two, she replied with a smile, “I don’t want any. Dig in, you guys. Mr. Fu, peel the prawns. Xixi’s plate is almost empty.”
Fu Qingye had noticed the weird look on Gong Zhi’s face as well. He nodded at her. “Thank you, Ms. Gong.”
Gong Zhi was going overboard with her motherly love through her smile. “No need to thank me. Please enjoy your meal. I need to control myself since I have to walk the red carpet in the afternoon.”
Otherwise, she would not look good with a bulging tummy in her gown.
To seal the deal between them both, Gong Zhi brought up the First Snow Hotel. “Who knew such a lovestruck and devoted man still exists in the world? I always thought this sort of romance only existed in storybooks.”
Having lived most of her life, Gong Zhi never came across such a fairytale romance.
Fu Qingye shared the same sentiment. “I know the owner of the First Snow Hotel. He has been looking for his lover over the years. I wonder if he found her yet.”
Hearing these words, Shen Xi froze and almost choked on the piece of meat she just swallowed. Could this be what she thought?
Fu Qingye was gazing forlornly. “I ran into him when I was searching for my little sister. I guess fate brought us together.”
Shen Xi cleared her throat as affection washed over her eyes. Filled with joy and sweetness, her voice turned soft and mellow. “He will find her.”
As it turned out, the owner of this hotel was Brother.
The vacant space in the hotel was left for her.
Fu Qingye tilted his head and looked at the girl. What was in her mind for her to give that honeyed look?
Gong Zhi had a weird feeling about the sweet smile on Shen Xi’s face. Could the person who had Xixi’s heart be someone else instead of Mr. Fu?
Shen Xi had no idea what Gong Zhi was going on about. Most importantly, she could say with a clear conscience that Fu Qingye was a brother to her.
Fu Qingye was smart and quick to catch on to the meaning behind Gong Zhi’s actions at dinner. He waited until Shen Xi went to her room before solemnly turning to Gong Zhi. “Ms. Gong, Xixi and I are siblings. I’m her brother.”
Gong Zhi was taken aback. Did she make it that obvious? Having been discovered, Gong Zhi had to admit that Mr. Fu had a good eye. She replied with a smile, “Mr. Fu, don’t you worry. I got it.”
Brother?
Sure, he was a brother now.
There was still a possibility he would be a beau in the future!
With his eyes turning cold, Fu Qingye curled his lips and gave her warning. “I can tell that you’re only saying that you got it.”
Scared stiff, Gong Zhi pulled her mind out of the gutter and put on a straight face. She respectfully gazed at the man before her. “My mind got the message as well.”
Perhaps Mr. Fu had been too nice, polite, gentleman-like, and humble, giving her the impression that he was good-natured and approachable. It had slipped her mind that he was the son of the Fu family, an aristocrat among the most privileged.
Mr. Fu was only gentle and approachable in front of Xixi. Gong Zhi was out of line.
Had it not been for Xixi, Gong Zhi would probably never meet him, much less share a meal and a conversation.
