Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want - Chapter 387
Chapter 387: The Face Slapping Caught Her off Guard. The Fourth Master’s Ruthlessness protected his wife
The beautiful girl was caught flat-footed. She could not help but raise her head to look at the handsome man expectantly. Though he was not old, his eyes were reserved and wary. He exuded a sense of calm that differed from his age. It added to his unique charm.
Had he really married at such a young age?
She turned her sights to the woman beside him. She too looked rather young to have been wed already. Except for the woman’s old-fashioned glasses, she was no different from others her age.
Would such an extraordinary man fancy such a mundane woman?
To the extent that he would marry her?
The beautiful girl’s face turned ugly when she was accused of trying to become Fu Tingyu’s mistress.
“How does my asking for his WeChat ID make me his mistress?” The pretty girl defended angrily.
Still smiling, Qin Shu continued and said, “My husband has already told you that he is busy. He’s already rejected you as politely as he can. What does it matter whether you acquire his WeChat ID or not?”
The pretty girl’s face took on a vivid shade of red. “I-I was just asking. He only said he was busy. He never said that he wouldn’t give it to me.”
Pulling Qin Shu into his warm arms, his steely eyes glowered pointedly at the girl who had so rudely intruded upon their time together and growled harshly, “I won’t give it to you.”
“… I-I see.” It was the first time she had been rejected. Glaring at the man who could flip the world order upside down with a simple nod or careless grin, the pretty girl hurried away in shame and anger.
Qin Shu watched the pretty girl tromp off in humiliation before dismissing her. There was no need to waste her attention on a passing figure in the crowd.
Fu Tingyu didn’t even spare the pretty girl a second glance as she scurried away with her tail between her legs. The entirety of his attention was focused on Qin Shu. Her cherry coloured cheeks reminded him of their time together last night. It made him hunger for more.
The pretty girl stalked to her good friend’s side. She felt wronged.
“What happened? Did he not give you his WeChat ID?” her good friend asked.
The pretty girl did not respond. She had always been pursued by men seeking her WeChat ID. Now, the first time she had ever taken the initiative to ask a man for his, she had been rejected. It left a bitter taste in her mouth.
The silence stretched. The pretty girl’s friend took it as a confirmation of her speculation. “It’s okay if he didn’t give it to you. Men like him have very high standards. He must be the son of a wealthy family to have a girlfriend as young as he is.”
“What high standards are you talking about? Do you honestly believe that woman next to him is prettier than me? Apparently, she’s his wife.” the pretty girl snorted in disdain.
“He’s married at such a young age?” her good friend looked at the handsome man in surprise and frowned at the woman by his side, “She’s wearing glasses from the last century and are completely out of style. From what I can see, her skin is smooth and blemish-free. The skirt she’s wearing complements her figure well. It looks quite tasteful on her. It makes you wonder if she would look better if she lost those hideous spectacles.”
“Even if she takes off her glasses, she won’t look any better. Why would any beauty tarnish their looks with those antiquated frames?” the pretty girl grumbled.
Her good friend nodded. “That’s true.”
Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu waited for more than an hour before it was their turn. They paid the ticketing fees and, with the help of the staff, boarded the Ferris wheel.
Fu Tingyu’s sat first before helping Qin Shu onto the ride.
Her face burned with mortification. The Ferris wheel had not started up yet and countless eyes followed her every move through the transparent glass.
She struggled to get off the ride but was held in place by Fu Tingyu’s firm grip.
At this moment, the Ferris wheel lurched forward and began its slow ascent into the sky. The ground beneath grew further and further and soon they found themselves suspended in the open sky, an unobstructed view for as far as the eye could see.
Feeling a little more at ease, Qin Shu stopped struggling against Fu Tingyu’s hold. Instead, her eyes wandered out the window and took in the wonderful feeling of weightlessness that accompanied their departure from the earth below.
Fu Tingyu rested his chin on the girl’s shoulder and enjoyed the view together with his dearly beloved. He wasn’t interested in the Ferris wheel. He just wanted to spend some time alone with the woman he loved. Somewhere no one would disturb them. That was enough to satisfy him.
From their vantage point high in the sky, Qin Shu could see the sprawling park unfolding before her eyes. She could even see the city’s skyline beyond the edges of the park.
She tilted her head in wonder. The tip of her nose brushed against Fu Tingyu’s. The sound of her laughter rang in her ears. “I’ve heard that when a couple rides on the Ferris wheel, they will find eternal happiness together. I wonder if it’s true.
“It’s not. What I want isn’t something an inanimate object can attain for me. I’ll seize it with my own two hands.” Fu Tingyu’s glimmered passionately. As long as Qin Shu was by his side, nothing else mattered.
Fu Tingyu was right. An inanimate object had no such power available to it.
She was a whole new person, reborn from the ashes of her past self. No longer was she that naive girl who believed everything she saw or heard.
It didn’t matter if she believed in superstition. They would share in their happiness together, whether it be on the Ferris wheel or elsewhere. She believed it with all her heart.
Kissing Fu Tingyu on the cheek she whispered, “I believe you.”
For a split second, an image of a young girl superimposed itself on Qin Shu. It was a reflection of her as she had been years ago. Though he knew it was only an illusion, Fu Tingyu knew it had been real for the simple fact that he believed in it.
Was Bao’er really willing to stay by his side?
She wasn’t lying or trying to deceive him, was she?
Regardless of what her intentions were, Fu Tingyu decided to push it all to one side. He did not wish to dwell on them at the moment. The only thing he wanted was to enjoy the simple earthly pleasure of intimacy between a man and woman.
High up in the clouds, that was what he did.
Beyond their glass carriage, the weather was good and the sun shone brightly in the sky.
The cerulean sky was dotted with clouds that looked like grazing sheep, drifting lazily in the cool air.
The Ferris wheel slowed as it began its descent.
Qin Shu’s rosy cheeks flushed with excitement. The feeling of descending towards the ground was vastly different from its earlier ascent.
Eventually, the Ferris wheel ground to a halt.
Holding her hand as he helped her down, Fu Tingyu gently ushered Qin Shu out of the passenger car.
It was then that he bumped into the pretty girl who had hit on him earlier.
He did not put much stock into their encounter, having long forgotten the girl who had flirted with him. He simply offered Qin Shu his hand and continued on his way without batting an eye.
Qin Shu followed suit.
The pretty girl was left disappointed by Fu Tingyu’s lack of reaction. The fact that he had not even looked at her, stung her pride. She did not believe her looks were inferior to Qin Shu’s – especially with those unfashionable glasses hanging from the bridge of her nose.
Hence, as the couple were walking past, she intentionally bumped into Qin Shu in a moment of her distraction.
Qin Shu was caught off guard and staggered. Had it not been for Fu Tingyu’s quick reaction to catch her as she fell, she would have fallen backwards and knocked her head against the stone steps leading to the Ferris wheel. The consequences of such a fall would have been disastrous.
Although she had not fallen, thanks to Fu Tingyu’s timely assistance, the collision was fierce and it knocked her glasses off the bridge of her nose. It clattered to the ground with its lenses shattering against the hard stone.
Qin Shu took a second to steady herself, turning to face the pretty girl who had bumped into her.
When the pretty girl caught sight of Qin Shu’s face, its immaculate beauty branded itself in her mind. Qin Shu was a beauty like no other she had seen before.
She was beautiful and yet, so much more.
Fu Tingyu enveloped Qin Shu in his arms, glaring coldly at the pretty girl. It did not take a rocket scientist to extrapolate who had crashed into Qin Shu and threatened her with a serious injury. His intense, wintry gaze settled on the pretty girl.
“What’s your name?” demanded Fu Tingyu acerbically.
Still mesmerised by Qin Shu’s exquisite beauty, the pretty girl could not formulate her thoughts into any semblance of order for a short but uncomfortable period of time.
At first, she was stunned. She had not expected the handsome man to ask for her name. Feeling that it was her chance, she responded excitedly, “My name is Mo Ran. I’m studying at Xifan University.”
