As She Wishes

Fu Jing was brought to a bar by her best friend in search of romance. Inside, under the shifting lights, she spotted a stunning, aloof beauty sitting by the window, lazily sipping whiskey—the legendary heartthrob, Gu Qingci. At first glance, Fu Jing was smitten. She asked around frantically, eager to pursue her. Hearing the beauty liked sweetness, she turned on the charm, showering her with affection. Rumors said she adored gifts, so Fu Jing swiped her card relentlessly, piling presents onto the booth. Then... it seemed to be working? The beauty smiled whenever she saw her. — Later, Fu Jing was dragged to a dinner party where her mother introduced her to a hard-to-reach investment tycoon. "This is your Auntie Gu—she bought you toys as a child. Remember?" Fu Jing looked thunderstruck. She stayed frozen, refusing to greet her. Her mother awkwardly covered for her: "Ah, this kid’s always been a bit slow!" But the woman pinched her cheek, her usual icy demeanor melting into a knowing smile. "No worries. I don’t think she’s slow—I find her quite adorable." Fu Jing: "……………" She called off this disastrous pursuit, waving the white flag in retreat. This woman was too cunning—a cold moon forever out of reach, even with a ladder to the sky. But then... why did Gu Qingci move into her house under the pretext of staying temporarily? Cooking supper while Fu Jing studied, popping champagne to celebrate her published papers. Once, when Fu Jing bashfully handed clothes through the bathroom door, Gu Qingci grabbed her wrist, refusing to let go, and whined softly, "Kid, why’d you stop chasing me?" #How do I chase you when you're richer than my whole family?##I wanted to romance you, but you're my Auntie Gu...# Gu Qingci’s POV: #Think you can quit after getting this close?##Where exactly do you think you’re going?# A story about a physics prodigy and rich second-gen who tried to woo with money, only to accidentally court a real tycoon.
