So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 23
The situation at the scene took a dramatic turn.
“I’m a lesbian, I like women.”
It was very quiet and silent. No one present spoke, but everyone’s heart was turbulent.
Fu Jin just… came out of the closet without any warning?! Perhaps if this happened to someone else, it would be treated as a joke, not taken seriously, but Fu Jin never joked, did she? Did she really feel that coming out was just a casual statement? Her expression remained unchanged.
Le Xiaoyao’s heart also tensed up. It was somewhat incredible. Was she really… a lesbian? Or… was this just an excuse? Judging by her appearance, it didn’t seem like a lie.
At this moment, Le Xiaoyao recalled the post she saw that night: the higher a woman’s education, the greater her tendency to be homosexual. Could it be that those meaningless things on the internet actually had a scientific basis? Wait, those sexual orientation tests also showed… that she herself didn’t seem too “straight”…
The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly oppressive…
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiejun accepted this reason. He had had his suspicions before. It was baffling that a woman like Fu Jin didn’t have many male admirers around her, and now, everything had a reasonable explanation. However, accepting it didn’t mean he could cope with it. After all, the person he had liked for so many years had just extinguished all his hopes with one sentence. Gu Jiejun had never thought that Fu Jin would publicly state her position, especially with a reporter present today.
Gu Jiejun’s face was ashen. He stared straight at Fu Jin, his lips trembling, “Is it Yunuo? Tell me! Are you two…”
“We are just friends. If you want to overthink it, I can’t do anything about it.”
Yunuo. Le Xiaoyao seemed vaguely familiar with this name. Yang Yunuo, the daughter of the Donghai Group’s chairman, Yang Qigang? Fu Jin’s presence at the last dinner party was also because of her. It seemed their relationship was extraordinary, but Fu Jin didn’t seem to admit it…
When Fu Jin turned and left, Gu Jiejun didn’t even go after her. It seemed this man had completely given up hope. Le Xiaoyao also stood there blankly, lost in thought. At this point, only the bystanders were clear-headed. Huang Chenchen pushed Le Xiaoyao, “Why aren’t you chasing after her! You blockhead!”
When Le Xiaoyao chased out the door, Fu Jin had already hailed a taxi. Le Xiaoyao jogged over, slightly out of breath, “Fu Jin, are you alright?”
“I… I’m fine. I need some alone time now…”
The weather was already very cold. The car drove away, leaving behind only a cloud of white mist mixed with the smell of gasoline…
When Le Xiaoyao returned to Wait alone, Huang Chenchen was standing at the door, looking around, “Why are you back alone? Where’s Fu Jin?!”
“She said she wanted some alone time.”
Huang Chenchen angrily poked her forehead, looking disappointed, “I’m telling you, don’t you understand? At a time like this, you should be her ‘alone time’!”
“Alone time” was unexpectedly dragged into this.
“I’m telling you, Big Sister Huang, what’s with your mentality? She wants to be alone, why should I cling to her shamelessly? Besides, I’m… not anyone to her…”
“Don’t you like her? Hurry up and seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity!”
Le Xiaoyao exclaimed, “When did I say I liked her? I didn’t say it, did I!”
“If you don’t like her, why do you bring her up every day for so many years? If you don’t like her, why did you hook up with her as soon as she returned to China? If you don’t like her, why do you always stare at her with such ambiguous eyes? Stop pretending. Just now at dinner, your eyes must have been burning right through her! And when Gu Jiejun failed to propose just now, you came out with sarcastic remarks. Do you think your sister’s eyes are blind or her ears are deaf!”
Huang Chenchen spewed a torrent of words, every word hitting home! Le Xiaoyao was left speechless. Big Sister Huang seemed right. Thinking about it, if this wasn’t considered liking, then what was? But what did Fu Jin think?
“Le Xiaoyao, if you really like her, stop being a coward, and make things clear! Didn’t you keep telling her to give you an explanation before?!”
“I…”
Huang Chenchen wanted to continue lecturing Le Xiaoyao, but then she received a call from her boss. Her demeanor changed instantly. She immediately plastered a wide smile on her face, showing all eight teeth, “Boss, what are your instructions?”
“Come pick me up, I’m at…”
After the call ended, Huang Chenchen immediately abandoned Le Xiaoyao, “You handle things yourself!”
“I said I wanted to be alone, and you didn’t follow…” Fu Jin was sitting in the car, her head a little dizzy. She always held onto expectations for Le Xiaoyao, wasn’t it the same five years ago?
In a sense, Fu Jin believed in love at first sight. The emotions between people are very complex and subtle. Sometimes, even without speaking, a simple exchange of glances is enough to spark a connection. When meeting someone with the “right feeling,” intentionally or unintentionally, one begins to want to get closer to them, to understand them… Slowly, love at first sight can also turn into love that deepens over time.
Fu Jin didn’t know when her “feeling” for Le Xiaoyao began. They had many opportunities to meet during their four years of university, but they rarely spoke. Their eyes would occasionally meet, for a second. The two always maintained this subtle relationship, knowing very little about each other. It wasn’t until the day before she left for England, at the graduation party, that Fu Jin felt she was about to lose something, even though she had never gained anything… That day, pretending to be drunk, she kissed Le Xiaoyao, just a simple touch of lips. How much she wished the other person would give her a little response, even just a little… but there was none.
Five years had passed, and this inexplicable feeling had long been frozen in her heart. Until she returned to W City, returned to A University, and met that person with the special “feeling” again. Their interactions slowly increased, and the frozen feelings in her heart slowly began to thaw.
That day Le Xiaoyao was drunk, repeatedly calling her name, a certain string in Fu Jin’s heart seemed to have been plucked again. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, she just didn’t dare to say it.
Huang Chenchen rode her scooter, rain or shine, to pick up Xu Xuan. This woman was drunk again! It hadn’t even been a week, and she had been drunk four times, and each time she made her clean up the mess!
Arriving at the bar Xu Xuan mentioned, Huang Chenchen thought she had entered the wrong place as soon as she walked in. Oh my god! All these people… She scanned the bar and finally found Xu Xuan in a corner. A woman wearing a black hip-hugging leather skirt was leaning on Xu Xuan, running her hands all over her!
“Hey! What are you doing!” Huang Chenchen pulled away the woman in the hip-hugging skirt. Xu Xuan was lying on the sofa, her face flushed, somewhat incoherent from drinking. The zipper on the back of her skirt was pulled down halfway, exposing her tempting backline.
“Are you crazy! Get lost if you have nothing to do!”
“You’re the crazy one! I’m her girlfriend!” Huang Chenchen had seen all kinds of vicious people. If she was easily intimidated, she wouldn’t have been able to keep her job! She bent down, helped Xu Xuan up, and zipped up the back of her skirt. “CEO Xu, your private life is really messy!”
“Go away, you’re a buzzkill.”
Huang Chenchen got angry. You called me to come here! I saw you drunk and being taken advantage of, helped you, and you call me a buzzkill! You deserve to be eaten completely by others! “Then I’m leaving, CEO Xu, enjoy your meal, drink, and fun!”
“Fine, go ahead and leave!”
Xu Xuan told Huang Chenchen to leave but held onto her tightly. She was so strong even when drunk! In the end, Huang Chenchen had to compromise. She really didn’t know what kind of bad karma she had accumulated in her previous life to end up in this situation in this life. As soon as they left the bar, the cold wind sobered Xu Xuan up considerably. She looked at the pink scooter parked in front of her and questioned, “You… you came to pick me up with this?”
“Didn’t you say it was urgent? So I rode this. You should be glad you have a ride! Wait here!”
“Big Pineapple, you’re so fierce today~”
Xu Xuan’s words made Huang Chenchen not know whether to laugh or cry. She ran to the milk tea shop across the road and bought a cup of honey grapefruit tea, “Drink this! It’ll sober you up! It’s warm!”
“So fierce, I’m docking your pay!”
“Have you ever paid me a salary!”
Huang Chenchen rode the scooter with Xu Xuan, riding extremely slowly, afraid that Xu Xuan would fall off, but they were still wobbling. “I’m telling you, can’t you sit still? Hold on tight, at this speed it will take half a month to get home!”
Xu Xuan suddenly hugged her from behind in a bear hug, scaring Huang Chenchen so much that she almost fell off, “I told you to hold on, you’re choking me to death!”
“This way I won’t fall off.” Xu Xuan simply rested her head on her shoulder, “Did you just say you’re my girlfriend?”
Her articulation was clear, with no logical issues. Damn! “Boss… you’re not drunk…” Huang Chenchen softened her tone, avoiding making a big mistake. She only felt the boss’s hand tracing back and forth on her abdomen, and further down to her inner thigh… Huang Chenchen quickly turned into a side alley and stopped the scooter. If this continued, they would have a car accident…
“Are you… actually drunk or not…”
Xu Xuan’s hands were still wandering on her body, her breathing was heavy, and her hand had somehow covered the softness on her chest. Huang Chenchen flinched, wanting to jump off the scooter, but was firmly held by Xu Xuan’s other arm, “You are assaulting me! I sell my effort, not my body!”
“Have you… ever done it with a woman?”
Doing such a shameful action and asking such a shameful question, she really was a seductive devil! Despite the cold weather, Huang Chenchen’s face instantly flushed. Her speech was slightly shy, “Boss, you’re drunk. I’ll take you home.”
“Are you too scared? Don’t be afraid, it feels good…” Xu Xuan’s low moan was full of provocation and temptation, coupled with the physical contact, it would be hard for anyone to resist.
This was exactly Le Xiaoyao’s weakness. She could be called anything, but not scared or a coward. After all, her nickname “Bold Huang” didn’t come from nothing. She turned her head, just about to say that she wasn’t afraid of anything, “I… mmph…”
Xu Xuan leaned in, her left hand holding Huang Chenchen’s head, her right arm still wrapped around her waist, and her lips pressed down, catching Huang Chenchen off guard and pushing her back in retreat… Xu Xuan pursued the advantage, prying open her teeth and her tongue immediately invaded. After a fierce assault, Huang Chenchen had no choice but to surrender in the face of this superior kissing skill. Half-yielding, she wondered if there was any chance of turning the tables…
The fire between them was completely ignited. Huang Chenchen, still reeling from the kiss, wobbled on the scooter to the nearest hotel. She didn’t expect that even at this point, CEO Xu was still asking if they had a presidential suite… God! The front desk was super enthusiastic, saying yes, and it was 50% off today~
Huang Chenchen took out her card and swiped it. 8888 yuan just said goodbye to her. Was she latching onto a rich boss, or was the rich boss latching onto her! Tears welled up in her eyes…
