Miss Cousin is Always Busy

Chapter 168



Chapter 168

Jun Zishu met Yan Jue in his office.

“Your speed amazes me, Miss Jun,” Yan Jue said.

Ever since Yu Fanshu returned, Yan Jue had already given up on his thoughts of acquiring Jun Zishu. He would also feel fortunate whenever he thought back to the day Jun Zishu refused his terms.

Under the glory of the actual person, everyone else simply looked inferior in his eyes.

Not to mention, Jun Zishu had somehow managed to get into Yu Fanshu’s favor, which was something Yan Jue did not foresee happening. Moreover, by the looks of it, Jun Zishu had become very close friends with Yu Fanshu. Not only did Yu Fanshu agree to attend a dating show with Jun Zishu, but she even agreed to act in the same movie with Jun Zishu. According to his sources, the two even lived under the same roof. The level of their intimacy was through the roof.

It should be known that Yu Fanshu typically treated others indifferently. If Yan Jue wasn’t her childhood friend, he probably wouldn’t even be able to get close to her. However, even with their friendship, he still felt that Yu Fanshu had put quite a lot of distance between them. It was a far cry compared to how Yu Fanshu treated Jun Zishu.

“We don’t owe each other anything now.”

“Indeed.”

“Then, I have something else to talk to you about, Mr. Yan.”

“Go ahead.”

“Rest your thoughts about Fanshu. She isn’t someone you can have.”

Jun Zishu said these words in a forceful way, a stark contrast to the gentle personality she usually portrayed.

Jun Zishu currently wore an apricot-colored knitted shirt, and she had let her hair hang loosely by her side. She looked elegant and generous, and her body radiated an aura that compelled others to obey her. When she sat with her arms folded in front of her chest, her aura felt even more imposing than Yan Jue, who was currently wearing a suit.

“What do you mean by that?”

Yan Jue frowned, his expression darkening as he looked at Jun Zishu.

“Do you truly like her? From how I look at it, you’re not deserving of her. All you are doing is disgusting her. Do you honestly think that you are sincerely infatuated with her? After failing to win her heart, you resort to sleeping with women who resemble her? Is that how you show your love for someone?”

“What are you trying to say? I don’t think you have the qualifications to meddle with my matters with her, right, Miss Jun?”

The veins on the back of Yan Jue’s hands bulged when he heard Jun Zishu’s words. After having his little secrets openly exposed and mocked by someone, there was no way he could remain calm.

“Sorry, but I do have the qualifications for that. That is because she is now my girlfriend,” Jun Zishu said, revealing a smile that contained a hidden edge.

“What did you say?” Yan Jue laughed. However, he didn’t know whether he was laughing at Jun Zishu’s words or Jun Zishu herself. “I can crush you like an ant so long as I wish for it. Who do you think you are to utter such nonsense in front of me?”

“I am not uttering nonsense. I am merely stating the facts. Apart from declaring sovereignty, I also came here to tell you that you are really disgusting. I wouldn’t have anything to say if you were openly pursuing her, but think about what you’ve done in the past. Think about when you tried to keep me as a mistress. Don’t you think your actions are an insult to love?”

Jun Zishu was here today to declare sovereignty over Yu Fanshu and give her love rival a verbal beating. She had wanted to say the words she said for a long time now. She was truly annoyed by the disgusting male lead. She couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable whenever she thought about how there was such a disgusting person coveting her lovely girlfriend.

Yan Jue wanted to say something in response, but Jun Zishu stood up before he could do so. Then, she said, “It’s close to noon already. Are you interested in having lunch together, Mr. Yan? With Miss Yu.”

“What do you mean?”

Yan Jue discovered that he was having difficulty seeing through Jun Zishu. After mocking him, the woman before him was actually inviting him out for lunch. Moreover, it was even with the person he liked.

“I mean it in a literal sense,” Jun Zishu said. Since Yan Jue didn’t believe that she and Yu Fanshu had become lovers, she would prove it to him. It’d also be interesting to infuriate his love rival.

Afterward, Jun Zishu gave Yu Fanshu a call and told her that she was already done and to come to pick her up for lunch.

“Yan Jue,” Yu Fanshu greeted her childhood friend.

“Are you done with your filming, Fanshu?” Jun Zishu asked.

“Not yet; I still have a few scenes left. What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“Let’s have western food. How about joining us, Mr. Yan?” Jun Zishu offered an invitation, to which Yan Jue nodded in response.

Yu Fanshu didn’t have any opinions about Yan Jue joining, so the three of them headed to a nearby western restaurant.

Originally, Yan Jue had disregarded Jun Zishu’s statement of Yu Fanshu being her girlfriend as nonsense. However, the more he watched the two interact, the colder his heart grew.

How is this possible… How can Fanshu possibly be in a relationship with a woman… Moreover, it is with a woman with such a terrible reputation…

These were the thoughts that echoed in Yan Jue’s mind.

However, one’s love for a person was something one couldn’t hide even if one kept quiet about it. The way Yu Fanshu looked at Jun Zishu was gentle and filled with unconditional care. The interactions between the two were also filled with tacit understanding, and the affection they showed for each other created a natural barrier around them that isolated them from everyone else.

Yan Jue kept telling himself to be patient and avoid showing any strange behaviors to not incur Yu Fanshu’s disgust. However, when he saw Jun Zishu smiling at him, he couldn’t hide his anger and frustration any longer.

Jun Zishu’s smile was full of provocation and sarcasm, and he’d be a fool to not notice that she was mocking him.

Yan Jue failed to understand what qualifications Jun Zishu possessed to ridicule him. She was just a normal person, and everything she had right now was given to her by Yu Fanshu. She’d be nothing if she didn’t get into Yu Fanshu’s good graces.

Yan Jue lowered his head and gnashed his teeth as he cut into his steak in silence.

After feeling that she had stimulated Yan Jue sufficiently, Jun Zishu excused herself to the restroom.

Meanwhile, as soon as Jun Zishu left, Yan Jue decided to speak up:

“Fanshu, are you and her…”

“Mhm, as you can see, she is my girlfriend.”

Yu Fanshu wore a warm and tender expression when she said these words. In reality, she wanted nothing more than to abduct Jun Zishu to a wedding hall and get married immediately. However, she felt that it still wasn’t time for that yet. She felt that she should spend more time with Jun Zishu first and get Jun Zishu to like her more. Then, she would prepare a grand wedding ceremony and officially make Jun Zishu into her woman.

“Why would you choose her? Could it be that you have always been into girls?”

He would have nothing to say if he had lost to sexual orientation.

“No. Although I rejected you back then, it wasn’t because of my sexual orientation. It’s been many years since that time. Don’t tell me you still haven’t given up on me?” Yu Fanshu jokingly said.

“What if I say yes?”

Yan Jue knew that he should have gone along with the flow and responded with a “How could that be?” in this situation. If he did that, he could avoid creating an awkward situation for himself and Yu Fanshu. However, he failed to control himself and ended up saying such a sentence instead.

Honestly, Yan Jue wanted to laugh at himself. Even though he was almost 27 years old, he felt as if he behaved no differently when Yu Fanshu rejected his confession when he was 17 years old.

Yu Fanshu was initially stunned. Then, she flatly rejected Yan Jue, saying, “In that case, I am very sorry. I like her only because she is who she is.”

The moment Yu Fanshu first laid eyes on Jun Zishu, her heart couldn’t help but pound. She could instinctively feel that Jun Zishu was different, and she felt that everything about Jun Zishu was wonderful. Then, after getting to know the girl, she found herself deeply infatuated.

Yu Fanshu revealed a warm smile. Yet, this smile wasn’t meant for him.

“She isn’t worthy of you.”

“I don’t like to hear you say such things about her. Whether she is worthy is a matter for me and her to decide. Other people have nothing to do with it. I will let everyone know how good she is. Her excellence will also gradually show itself. And even if she isn’t such an excellent person, it is enough so long as she is the best in my eyes.”

“Will Uncle and Auntie agree to it?”

“They will. I don’t know what exactly about me impresses you so much, Yan Jue. With all due respect, I don’t need your liking. I just hope that we can remain friends. However, if you have other thoughts, maybe we can’t even remain as friends,” Yu Fanshu said, her voice taking a colder tone.

Yan Jue tightly gripped the cutlery in his hands and tried his best to set them down. Then, he said, “Even though we have known each other for so many years, am I still no better than Jun Ling in your eyes?”

“Yes, Yan Jue. You said that you like me, but what have you done for me all these years? I’m sorry, but I had never felt your sincerity, whether it was before or after I met her. So, I find it funny that you say that you like me and that you can’t forget about me,” Yu Fanshu bluntly stated. If this was her friend’s so-called sincerity, then it really wasn’t worth anything at all. “Do you honestly like me? I think that you might be brooding over me because I rejected you when we were young.”

“No, it’s not like that,” Yan Jue hurriedly denied.

“Whatever it is, I’m sorry. We were friends in the past, and we will remain friends moving forward. This meal is my treat. Goodbye.”

Yu Fanshu got up and went to pay the bill. Then, she messaged Jun Zishu and waited for her at the door.

Jun Zishu had watched the live broadcast of the entire exchange, and she couldn’t help but smile at the mirror. Then, after touching up her makeup, she carefully looked at the woman reflected in the mirror.

In Jun Zishu’s opinion, Yu Fanshu was a very, very wonderful person. Although she didn’t know why the other party would like her, she decided to claim this affection.

In reality, Jun Zishu had never particularly liked any of the faces she wore in the various mission worlds. After all, none of these faces were actually hers, so she couldn’t bring herself to grow attached to any of them. However, she suddenly found herself liking her current face, probably because it held some semblance to Yu Fanshu’s face.

Suddenly, Jun Zishu started feeling a little suffocated as an overwhelming pain came from her chest.

[What’s wrong, Host?]

Little Fairy quickly asked with concern when she saw Jun Zishu holding her chest.

It’s nothing.

Jun Zishu was confused. Even though she should be feeling very happy, she suddenly felt breathless for some reason.

At this time, Jun Zishu’s phone’s screen lit up, and she noticed that Yu Fanshu had messaged her. Then, the pain in her chest miraculously disappeared, and even her mood had turned bright and cheery.

After taking a deep breath, Jun Zishu picked up her bag and left the restroom. Then, she came across Yan Jue, seemingly brooding over something.

“Did you do it on purpose?” Yan Jue asked when he saw Jun Zishu exiting the restroom.

“I just wanted to wake you up so that you stop holding any more unrealistic fantasies. Do you know what it means to love someone? If I like a person, and this person doesn’t like me, I will either try hard to pursue them or gather my courage and give up. I wouldn’t try to find substitutes for the person I like. If I truly like a person, then this person will be irreplaceable in my heart. It doesn’t matter even if someone else resembles them.”

[You’ve completed your mission, Host. Do you want to leave this world?]

No.
