Forced Love: Flirting with the Boss

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 I'm not him_1



"What's wrong, the light turned green, why aren't we moving?" Su Yuyu, who had just finished her phone call, noticed that the light had turned green and spoke up.

"No…nothing." Jiang Huai retracted his gaze, pressed the gas pedal, and drove through the intersection.

He must have seen wrong just now; that man was an untouchable bigwig, there was no way he could appear at Ren Chuqing's side.

It must have just been a pretty boy who looked somewhat similar!

"You're my brother too, even though we don't share any blood relation, you are family to me," Ren Chuqing managed to say, turning her face away.

"Then between me and that kid, who is more important to you?" he asked, staring at her, with a barely detectable jealousy in his tone.

"To me, you are both very important!" she said.

His fingers gently touched her lips, soft and warm, conjuring the thought of kissing those lips. Suddenly, his eyes turned profound, a certain desire churning within his body.

"I don't like the word 'both'. If I'm not the most important to you, then I would rather you didn't give me anything at all, just like back then, when you simply cast me aside—it would be more straightforward!" Wen Muqing said softly.

A chill rose up Ren Chuqing's spine, an instinctual sense of danger making her subconsciously want to step back, to create some distance between them.

But in the next moment, his arm fiercely wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"So, are you going to cast me aside again?" he asked, looking down at her.

His gaze was as deep as the ocean, serene yet threatening to swallow her whole.

Once, when she told him they had no relationship, his eyes were hollowly fixed on her, as if resignedly accepting his fate of being abandoned by her.

That look, she could never forget in this lifetime, nor did she want those eyes to show such an expression again.

"No, I won't abandon you again," she heard her own voice say.

A faint smile curled at the corner of his lips, as pleasing as a landscape bathed in spring's smile.

"Good, this is a choice you made yourself, Sister, so don't regret it!" The murmuring voice enveloped her ears like the most delightful melody.

The Wen Family, the preeminent family of City Yan.

Yet also known as a family of madmen.

The Wen Family believed in the survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle!

In the Wen Family, there was little sense of kinship or blood ties; even relatives would stab each other in the back and drive each other to death.

In Old Master Wen's generation, apart from the Master himself, all his brothers died.

Thus, some said that Old Master Wen's brothers were eliminated by his own hand, claiming he ascended the helm of the Wen Family stepping over their corpses.

At this moment, in the Wen Family Mansion's living room, Old Master Wen was looking at his youngest grandson with a sharp gaze.

"I heard you're cohabiting with a woman?"

Wen Muqing sat on the sofa, idly toying with an old-fashioned lighter, "Grandfather has quite the timely news."

Since Old Master Wen knew about him cohabiting with Ren Chuqing, he must also be aware of her identity!

"I remember when I paid for your return, that girl clearly said she had nothing to do with you anymore. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Old Master Wen reminded him.

"How could I forget?" Wen Muqing laughed, but his eyes were ice-cold. He had not forgotten that statement for a single day.

"Then why are you still living with her?"

"Interesting, isn't it?" The curve of his lips grew even more pronounced.

He was like a hunter who had found intriguing prey, and before the kill, he wanted to playfully torment it.

"If you find that woman interesting and want to have some fun, that's fine, but remember, don't be like your father. Don't give up everything you're meant to have for a woman," Old Master Wen warned coldly.

He had yet to forgive his disappointing youngest son and naturally, he would not allow his son's ashes to be buried in the Wen Family ancestral grave.

The moment his youngest son abandoned everything for a woman, he disowned him!

However, he was quite satisfied with this grandson.

Smart enough, ruthless enough, and bloodthirsty enough!

In his view, only such a person could lead the Wen Family to long-lasting prosperity!

He held great expectations for this grandson.

Wen Muqing lowered his gaze to the old lighter in his hand. This lighter had belonged to his father and was said to be a love token from his mother to his father.

When he was taken away by Grandfather, he brought this lighter with him as a reminder not to forsake everything for a woman!

"Of course I won't be like my father; I am not him!"

Ren Chuqing crouched behind the tree shade at the high school gates, watching the high school students come and go as she searched for the particular figure she wanted to see.

Xiao Yuan... They had parted ways when he was only 7 years old.

Because his mother's health was poor after giving birth to Xiao Yuan, and his stepfather was busy with work, Xiao Yuan was sent to be raised by his grandmother in the countryside until he was 7 and had to return to the city for schooling.

But who could have expected that shortly after Xiao Yuan returned to the city, that car accident happened, and she lost her mother and stepfather, while Xiao Yuan lost his biological parents!

As she was a student at the time, guardianship ultimately went to Xiao Yuan's aunt, the sister of his stepfather.

And she almost gave up all her inheritance, only hoping that Xiao Yuan's aunt would take good care of him.

Now, she didn't even know how many more times she would be able to see Xiao Yuan! Thinking of this, Ren Chuqing couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

The relatives on Xiao Yuan's side all rejected her, despised her; even though she had legal visitation rights, the Han family simply refused to let her see him!

Just then, she caught sight of Han Chuyuan's figure!

The tall and thin youth, dressed in a plain white shirt and black pants, exuded a clean and refreshing vibe. His handsome face naturally attracted many girls around him.

Ren Chuqing actually understood the girls flocking behind Han Chuyuan. After all, Xiao Yuan's looks combined the best features of his parents, especially those peach-blossom eyes that were extremely beautiful and very much like his mother's!

Her mother always liked to tell her, "Chu Qing, do you know what the most beautiful thing about me is? It's these eyes. With these captivating eyes, I've been able to live better and better."

Suddenly, a girl rushed forward, her face blushing as she handed a love letter to Han Chuyuan. However, he didn't even take it, merely saying one thing to the girl, and her expression turned utterly dreadful, while the other people around her looked at Han Chuyuan with disbelief.

What exactly did Xiao Yuan say? Ren Chuqing wondered when suddenly she heard the girl shout loudly, "And what about you? Would you be willing to die to prove you love someone?"

"Of course!" The young man's face lit up with a brilliant smile. "If I can't even do that, then how can I believe that you truly love me as you say you do?"

"You're completely insane!" the girl yelled angrily.

Han Chuyuan lowered his eyelids indifferently, "So, your so-called love for me is just this, isn't it?"

The girl's face flushed with anger and embarrassment, and in a fit of rage, she pushed Han Chuyuan!

Han Chuyuan looked calmly at the hand pushing him, making no attempt to dodge, but instead let the force push him toward the middle of the road.

A private car was approaching, and it looked like it was going to hit Han Chuyuan. Some of the students who saw this scene at the school gates screamed in fright.
