Chapter 12 Sugar Overload
Fu Jiye and I had been putting on this act for two weeks now, and I was starting to suspect he’d been body-snatched or something.
He was being way too good to me.
He showered me with endless gifts—clothes, sports cars, even a house—though I already had all those things myself.
But the ones from Fu Jiye somehow felt different.
He prepared surprise after surprise.
Today it was a birthday for the scarf he gave me, tomorrow our two-week anniversary…
Whenever he wanted to give me something, he always found a ridiculous number of excuses.
He even played games with me. When I painted, he patiently modeled for me. He took me skiing, skydiving, to watch the sunrise over the ocean.
Except for the occasional jab at me, everything else was pure sweetness.
The sugar-coated attacks came too fiercely. I could barely handle them.
I didn’t even have time to think about that failed relationship with Gu Qunian anymore.
The smile never left Fu Jiye’s face.
“Liao Xing, you dazed out? This is just the beginning.”
“I’ll treat you even better from then on.”
To repay him a little, I personally cooked him a meal.
I never expected Fu Jiye to burst into tears right there.
“Liao Xing, are you trying to murder your husband? How can you make something this delicious? You’re killing me.”
I took a bite myself and immediately looked troubled.
Yeah.
Fu Jiye really had been body-snatched.
He’d lost his sense of taste too.
I accidentally dumped way too much salt in, yet he ate the entire thing without changing expression.
In public, he did whatever he wanted—kiss me whenever, hug me whenever.
Wherever I went, he followed.
In private, he was even more unrestrained.
Everything we should do—and shouldn’t do—I half-heartedly let him have his way.
Things I’d never done with Gu Qunian, I ended up doing with Fu Jiye one by one.
Except the very last step.
Because with Fu Jiye, I finally felt that sensation of being deeply loved again.
A hundred times more intense than anything Gu Qunian ever gave me.
After getting kissed senseless yet again, I simply gave up resisting and let him do whatever.
His kissing technique was actually really good. It felt damn nice.
“Fu Jiye, who the hell are you right now? Why are you suddenly treating me so well?”
The old Fu Jiye would never have done any of this.
Fu Jiye blinked. “Didn’t I already tell you? I’m pursuing you.”
“I like you. I want to be your real boyfriend. I want you to forget Gu Qunian and be with me.”
He sounded way too serious. I got so scared I ran away.
Was Fu Jiye actually in love with me for real?
But when had it started? How had I not noticed at all?
