Rebirth from the Ashes
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Feng never imagined that his cousin would be so bad*ss to tame the Devil Incarnate of the Li family. Now in a blink of an eye, Shen Xi became the daughter of the Fu family too. People probably would not believe him and think he was bluffing if Shen Feng were to tell them who Shen Xi was.
âOf course, I can handle my man.â Shen Xi smiled confidently. âNow the question is to you. When will I get a cousin-in-law?â
âGet off my back.â Shen Feng rolled his eyes at her. âIâm focused on my career. You love birds wonât understand.â
Shen Xi noncommittally burst out laughing. âMore like no one wants you!â
Shen Feng turned black in the face. âGo and ask around in school. I have so many girls coming after me and queuing from our school building to the school gates. They are all the prettiest girls on campus.â
âYes, the prettiest girls nationwide are fighting over to be your girlfriend.â Shen Xi was in stitches.
Shen Feng retorted, âBelieve it or not, but if I say Iâm your brother, all the pretty girls, Iâm talking about from the whole wide world, will be forming a line to be my girlfriend.â
He could be considered a relative of the Fu family. If Shen Feng were to shout that from the rooftops, girls would kill to be his girlfriend.
Shen Xi pursed her lips. âRiding on coattails is not a good color for you.â
Shen Feng responded, âWell,
Shen Xi snapped back. âFine! Keep on riding!â
Shen Feng remarked, âIâm going to ride you bald!â
âThe pair exchanged glances and giggled at the same time. They were in no position to sneer at each other since they were both acting childish!
Everyone was formally introduced as they had a feast equivalent to a family gathering and reunion lunch. It was a lively scene.
âAt two oâclock in the afternoon, Shen Xi bade Shen Zhangqing, Yun Jinping, and the rest goodbye as she set off together with the Fu family to her other home.
âThey were taking the Fu familyâs private jet. Since the plane belonged to Shangguan Yangiu, the interior was tastefully decorated.
Immediately after getting onto the plane, Fu Qingxuan squeezed beside Shen Xi and Shangguan Yanqiu on a sofa. It was a long sofa with a coffee table in front. There was another sofa across the space.
Shangguan Yanqiu intentionally picked this seat to have a bonding moment with her daughter, instead of mingling with the boys.
The unwanted boys of the family had to sit and chat in another guest reception area that was separated by a partition.
Li Yuan was talking with Fu Handing while Toffeecito, who came along, nestled on his lap with its head nodding off.
Fu Qingli and Fu Qingye were tempted to learn more about Shen Xi, but they would rather die than ask and chat with Li Yuan. Their blood pressure would only hit boiling point if they had to listen to Li Yuanâs dating history with their precious sister.
Fu Qingye would glance at the partition every now and then.
Flipping through paperwork, Fu Qingli took a quick look at him. âCall Xuan over to keep you company if youâre bored.â
Qingxuan, the sly b*stard, was quick to board the flight and run to Mom and their sister. Everyone should be equal, all for one and one for all, or nothing at all.
Having read Fu Qingliâs mind, Fu Qingye pointed at the chair in the opposite direction. âMove a chair and sit there if you want to go.â
Fu Qingli was without a word.
Fu Qingye got up and carried a chair next door to look for the girls.
Fu Qingli pulled a long face. ââ¦â
Traitor!
They were all traitors!
Meanwhile, Fu Qingxuan showed his phone to Shen Xi. âDearest sister, which do you think looks good and suits me?â
Shen Xi took a quick glance. It was a scarf, and a hideous one too. However, Fu Qingxuan looked good in everything with that face of his. He could make a paper bag look stylish. Shen Xi gave her honest opinion. âThe white is easier to match in outfits.â
Fu Qingxuan nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. He scrolled down to find a picture on the side that sold yarns. It also came with a tutorial to knit a scarf. Acting as if it was an unintentional tap on the link, Fu Qingxuan looked curious. âOh, you can buy balls of yarn to knit yourself.â
Shen Xu uttered, âSure. I know how to knit.â
Fu Qingxuan eagerly added. âKnit me one.â
Sitting across from them, Fu Qingye observed the scheming guy at work. Fu Qingxuan was trying too hard with his mind games, but still, it was a cunning move to get a present from their sister!
Li Yuanâs scarf caught their eye prior to their departure. Xuan asked in passing about the scarf and found out that Xixi knitted it for him. Jealousy washed over him right there and then.
Shen Xi looked at Fu Qingxuan, finally realizing why he showed her his phone. There it came. However, a scarf was no trouble at all. She nodded and gave her word. âSure.â
Fu Qingxuan excitedly balled up his fists. Had it not been because he wanted to keep up the appearance of an older brother, Fu Qingxuan would have jumped up in joy. âThank you, my dear sister. Youâre the best.â
âXixi.â Fu Qingye tenderly gazed at her. âWould it take a lot of your time to knit it?â
âNo.â Shen Xi gave it a thought. Since she had to knit anyway, one or two did not make much of a difference.â She smiled brightly and said, âBrother, Iâll knit you one too.â
Fu Qingye was dying to get his hands on a scarf knitted by her, so needless to say, he was over the moon.
âOh, you two!â Shangguan Yanqiu glared at them and nagged. âHow could you ask your sister for a present after youâve only met. You didnât even give her a welcome gift.â
âLhave prepared gifts for sure.â With a smug look on his face, Fu Qingxuan turned to Shen Xi and gloated secretively. âI have lots and lots of presents to give you. Iâll show you once weâre home. Youâll love them.â
âThe always refined Fu Qingye who never put anyone in the spot publicly gave Fu Qingxuan a look of disdain. âAre you sure?â
His gifts were silly. As if their sister would like his presents.
âSheâll love them if I say sheâll love them.â Fu Qingxuan provided an irrefutable case in point. âI have a psychic connection with our sister. Do you?â
Despite being unconvinced, Fu Qingye could not argue with that.
Shen Xi looked at Fu Qingxuan with contempt written all over her eyes. He was so childish, so she did not carry any hope for his presents.
Even with a partition in between, people on both sides could clearly hear each otherâs conversation.
Listening to their exchange, Fu Qingli could not read another word as he unknowingly scrunched the paper in hand.
