After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 41

Shen Lixie straightened his posture, his gaze sweeping over Fang Qingying, who looked utterly serious. He had thought she was joking, but it seemed this girl was truly obsessed with money?

Fang Qingying suddenly sighed, her fair, jade-like hands cupping her cheeks. “Ah, life is hard, Yingying sighs.”

Her long, delicate eyelashes cast faint shadows on her eyelids. Her rosy lips pouted slightly, glistening with a hint of moisture.

“Brother Xie, so how about that investment?” Fang Qingying turned her face to ask him. Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a golden glow over her.

“You can invest, but how much are you planning to put in?” Shen Lixie nodded slightly, his well-defined fingers holding a sleek black phone, as if he had just finished handling a message before locking the screen.

“I don’t know, I’ll follow your lead.” Fang Qingying shook her head. She just wanted to ease the burden on the production crew.

If Shen Lixie knew her intention was solely this, he might have reassured her.

From the information he had gathered, not only had Yun Yifan invested in the drama through the Yun family, but Shengying Group had also contributed.

Moreover, Fang Qingyu, who always worried about Fang Qingying, had also brought in investment from the Fang Corporation. So, she really didn’t need to stress over it.

But Shen Lixie didn’t know Fang Qingying’s inner thoughts. What he saw was his little girl finally showing some initiative even learning to invest in a TV drama.

For that alone, Shen Lixie would make sure this matter was handled flawlessly.

“Then five million,” Shen Lixie said after a mental calculation, offering the figure.

He was well aware of the drama’s funding situation. While five million from the girl wouldn’t be a lifesaver, it would certainly be a welcome addition.

“Okay.” Fang Qingying nodded.

Once this matter was settled, she felt much more at ease.

When a person relaxes, their mind tends to wander.

Fang Qingying, already drowsy from her workout, now found herself dozing off on the sofa.

Her raven-black hair cascaded down to her waist, swaying with her movements and falling over her chest. Her hand propped up her chin as her head bobbed slightly.

Her lashes drooped, her eyes half-closed, her face caught in a struggle as if she was desperately tired but unwilling to fully succumb to sleep.

Reason and physical exhaustion tugged at her, like a little angel urging her to sleep while a little devil yanked at her ear, telling her to stay awake.

Shen Lixie watched her with amusement, shaking his head. “If you’re tired, go take a shower and sleep. I’ll make breakfast for you tomorrow before I leave.”

Staying over yesterday had been unavoidable, but if he didn’t leave today, it would really be pushing it.

Those close to him knew his relationship with Fang Qingying was purely sibling-like, but to outsiders, staying over two nights in a row would hardly seem innocent.

He pocketed his phone, strode over to Fang Qingying on his long legs, and gently patted her shoulder.

Startled awake, Fang Qingying blinked her half-lidded eyes, misty with sleep, barely able to see the person in front of her.

She pouted, unhappily grabbing Shen Lixie’s hand and using it to pull herself up. “It’s all your fault. I’m super, super sleepy now.”

“I won’t take the blame you’re just weak,” Shen Lixie chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “Be careful, or some old fox might take advantage of you.”

With such a delicate and frail physique, if someone were to get overly jealous and impulsively push her in a fit of anger, wouldn’t she be easily overpowered?

Anyone with eyes could see it, only Fang Qingying herself was foolishly stumbling into someone’s arms without realizing it.

Shen Lixie couldn’t help but feel inexplicably happy watching his little girl unconsciously flirt with others while wearing an innocent expression.

“Hmph.” Fang Qingying, flustered and angry, gave Shen Lixie a shove.

Of course, she didn’t manage to move him at all. She could only point at the door and shout, “Get out!”

She looked just like a newly weaned kitten, stretching out its tiny pink paw at a big wolfhound utterly harmless.

Shen Lixie was so charmed that he casually pulled out his phone and snapped a few pictures.

【Happy Happy Family】

Plain and Simple Eldest Kid: Look at this freshly baked cutie. firecrackers.jpg
Unremarkable Second Kid: You’re still at my sister’s place? Want to come spar with me?

This was Fang Qingyu. In this WeChat group, aside from the four parents, the three of them were the “kids.”

Fang Qingying’s nickname was “Adored and Adorable Third Kid,” all chosen by the four parents.

They didn’t mind it and just went along with whatever the parents preferred.

Enlightened First Parent: Ugh, I feel like beating my son to death right now. lighting a cigarette with world-weariness.jpg
Enlightened Second Parent: My son is so useless. He grew up with Yingying yet only managed to become her “brother” instead of something more.

Enlightened Fourth Parent: Your son really is useless, can’t even win my daughter over.

Enlightened Third Parent: Want me to break your legs?

Shen Lixie proceeded to flood the group with countless adorable photos of Fang Qingying, thoroughly enjoying Fang Qingyu’s furious reactions.

After all, they’d grown up together, and this jerk had always been drowning in admirers truly “enviable.”

As for the consequences? He didn’t care.

He’d never beaten Fang Qingyu in a fight anyway.

Shen Lixie deftly exited WeChat and returned to the kitchen.

After preparing breakfast for Fang Qingying the next morning, she still hadn’t appeared. Shen Lixie left her a note and headed home.

He had no idea an enormous surprise was waiting for him there.

Fang Qingying slept soundly until dawn. By then, the online gossip had already shifted to new topics.

The alleged “sugar daddy” in the scandal had been replaced by someone else, and rumors were now swirling that Fang Qingying had already married into a wealthy family.

Still groggy, she opened Weibo, curious about the latest developments. The shocking twist nearly made her drop her phone.

#Fang Qingying’s Sugar Daddy Scandal Involves Someone Else!#

#Fang Qingying Suspected of Marrying into Wealth!#

#Fang Qingying and Company CEO Spotted in Couple Outfits!#

#Fang Qingying Seen Shopping with Wealthy Mother-in-Law Marriage Going Strong!#

Fang Qingying: confused old man on subway staring at phone.jpg

The headlines startled her so much she hurriedly clicked to read the details.

And what she found was even more unbelievable.

Pictures don’t lie, after all.

Fang Qingying stared at a photo of herself entering a mall with her mother, deep in thought did they really not look like mother and daughter?

Then there was another photo.

Ah, yes. That was her dear brother Fang Qingyu, dressed in their family’s matching outfits, strutting confidently into work. And another photo showed her wearing the same outfit.

Fang Qingyu sank into deep thought once more. Standing beside her was Mother Fang, also dressed in the same family outfit. But where was Mother Fang in the photo?

These three photos left Fang Qingying utterly baffled, and the comments from netizens below were particularly fresh and lively.

Damn, I’m officially jealous. FQY really has a knack for attracting the ‘wealthy,’ huh?

One after another, all loaded and so handsome! Today, I am officially a lemon!

They say it’s hard for celebrities to marry into wealthy families, but it seems FQY’s character must be pretty good, otherwise she wouldn’t be accepted~

Wuwu, our Yingying got married so young! I refuse to believe it!

Hope Yingying lives happily. Thanks to her mother-in-law for liking her.

Fang Qingying had nothing to say. Were the gossip tabloids this generation even trying? Just randomly spouting nonsense like this?

Siblings instantly turned into a married couple?

This was just too damn absurd!

What kind of nonsense was this?

A small head filled with big question marks.

Could they not tell the difference between couple outfits and family outfits?

Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly, and her red lips pressed together as Fang Qingying took a deep breath. She dug up the last family photo they had taken together, she refused to believe they’d still mistake this for a couple outfit.

@FangQingying: Look closely, this is a family outfit, not a couple outfit! Also, I am currently single and unmarried. My family has money, and my surname is Fang.

In one go, she posted several photos on Weibo, all of them showing her family of four wearing matching outfits, with timestamps at the bottom.

This undoubtedly debunked the rumors of her supposedly marrying into wealth. Fang Qingying even included a photo of her and Mother Fang in their family outfits, captioned: ‘Do we not look alike?’

Her series of rebuttals didn’t quite hit the mark with the audience. Instead, the comments latched onto entirely different points.

Hahahaha, am I the only one who thinks Yingying’s statement sounds exactly like a dating profile intro?

Same, sis. Totally agree.

Mom asked why my phone screen was wet. I told her it’s because Yingying’s bare face is too stunning.

Wow! Family outfits really do look best on high-value faces.

This brand should pay Yingying for endorsing their family outfits. Now I want a set too.

Fang Qingying held her phone, skimmed the comments, and immediately felt a headache coming on. Tossing her phone aside, she flopped onto the bed in frustration.

She really wanted to post: ‘You guys are the hardest group of netizens I’ve ever had to deal with.’

They’d already dug up her brother’s identity couldn’t they use their brains a little more?

Same surname, family outfits, family photos weren’t these enough to serve as proof for clarification?

If she hadn’t had her household register on hand, Fang Qingying would’ve straight-up posted a photo of it to shut them up.

Just as she was thinking this, her phone pinged with a notification someone had tagged her on Weibo.

Like a startled rabbit, she snatched up her phone, unlocked it in three seconds, and opened Weibo.

@FangCorporation: Apologies, but our eldest daughter is still single and has never been in a relationship. @FangQingying. Attached were photos of the household register, Fang Qingying’s childhood pictures, and family portraits from every stage of her life.

Wait, so FQY wasn’t just putting on a ‘rich girl’ act? She’s the real deal!

Can I call FQY ‘little sister-in-law’ now?

No beating around the bush, I also want to call FQY ‘little sister-in-law.’

A goddess descended to earth. Yingying has been beautiful since birth.

Little Yingying was so adorable when she was young!

Suddenly really curious about who the other boy is?

Hey besties, check out Yingying’s manager’s Weibo account.

Unlike the Fang family, who don’t use Weibo, Shen Lixie, as a manager, definitely has his own account.

So, after the official Weibo account of Fang Corporation posted this update, he quickly reposted it and added a few pictures.

@ShenLixie: Not gonna lie, I watched her grow up too. // @FangCorporation: Sorry about that…

Most of the photos he shared were group pictures of the three of them, including one of little Fang Qingying sitting at the dining table in a bunny dress, eating cake.

This single photo instantly melted the hearts of all netizens especially one person in particular.

That person swiftly went into action, saving the image in record time.
