Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 154 I’ve Fallen Madly in Love With Him

"For you to admit something like that is rare," Kong Xiaohe said with a grin. "Looks like I might get to call Zhou Yi 'brother-in-law' someday."

"No rush—it's still early days. He mentioned wanting to take things slow and get to know each other better as friends first."

"Well, Zhou Yi does strike me as someone with a steady personality. He wouldn't jump into anything just because of your status. That's actually reassuring."

Later, Kong Huaijin shared her plans to invest in Zhou Yi's company. Kong Xiaohe fully supported the idea, leaving only their father's approval pending.

Kong Huaijin wasn't worried. With her father's sharp business acumen, he'd surely recognize the project's long-term potential.

But as his daughter, she knew she still needed to communicate thoroughly with him. After all, her father hadn't stepped down yet, and proper procedures had to be followed.

After chatting with Kong Xiaohe for a while, Kong Huaijin went upstairs to shower and lie down. She opened her phone's photo gallery, filled with pictures Zhou Yi had taken of her. But the first thing that caught her eye was their selfie together.

The way Zhou Yi looked at her in that photo... anyone who saw it would feel their heart skip a beat.

She couldn't help but smile, savoring the memory of their kiss earlier that day.

She opened WeChat and sent Zhou Yi a message.

[Kong Huaijin: I'll accompany you to class tomorrow too.]

[Zhou Yi: Is Sis abandoning her corporate duties?]

[Kong Huaijin: Isn't it only natural to give up a little something for someone you like?]

Besides, it was just money. What she lacked least was money.

Zhou Yi replied with an emoji and said he was going to bed. Kong Huaijin had wanted to chat a bit longer, but now she could only drift off to sleep with thoughts of him swirling in her mind.

Zhou Yi always knew when to draw close and when to pull away. Today, they had grown significantly closer. At the right moment, it was time to loosen the reins a bit—like flying a kite. You needed to pull and release to keep it soaring.

Kong Huaijin wasn't upset that Zhou Yi was going to sleep. Instead, her heart swelled with longing for him. This was the peak of her infatuation. As long as he didn't do anything outrageous, her feelings would only deepen. Especially when he couldn't satisfy her current longing, her fondness would grow even stronger with every thought of him.

Her phone buzzed nonstop with messages from friends and suitors asking about her relationship with Zhou Yi.

Her response to all of them was the same: It's true.

Before bed, she posted a WeChat story, visible to everyone. The content was the photos Zhou Yi had taken of her that day.

As for their selfie, Kong Huaijin decided to save it for the official announcement—if Zhou Yi ever agreed to be with her.

She pondered for a moment. If she wanted to pursue Zhou Yi, she probably needed some tricks, right? But she wasn't exactly an expert in romance. Then she remembered she had a very skilled friend. She sent her a message, asking how to "handle" a man.

The woman's response was straightforward:

"To handle a man, praise him, coax him, use him. Be sweet with your words but firm in your heart. Don't cry, don't make a scene, don't argue. Understand him, give him space, control him. Spend his money, use his resources, act cute, show vulnerability, be perceptive, play the game well. Be soft, demand money, and capture his heart."

Kong Huaijin read through the advice thoughtfully, deciding to put it into practice.

On Tuesday, Kong Huaijin accompanied Zhou Yi to class again, trying to convince him to join her for dinner on Wednesday. Zhou Yi didn't commit.

On Wednesday, she returned—but this time, she didn't come empty-handed.

Kong Huaijin brought a brand-new Ferrari.

Wednesday morning had only one class, and Kong Huaijin arrived early. By now, her classmates were used to her presence.

When Zhou Yi walked in, she casually tossed him a car key.

"Zhou Yi, no need to dream about owning a sports car anymore—I bought you a Ferrari."

She delivered the line with effortless confidence, sitting in Zhang Wu's usual seat.

The boys behind her stared, mouths agape in disbelief.

Zhou Yi sat down, examined the car key in his hand, and frowned. "Sis, what's this? I can't accept such an extravagant gift from you."

With that, he placed the key on the table, clearly intending to refuse.

The boys behind him turned green with envy. A Ferrari! Zhou Yi was being way too principled! Just for a dinner, this goddess had visited Huaihai University three times. His charm was off the charts—they all wanted to learn from him.

Kong Huaijin chuckled softly. "What's the big deal? It's just a sports car—not that extravagant. Take it, consider it my way of thanking you for agreeing to have dinner with me today, okay?"

She gave him a playful look and slipped the key back into his hand.

Zhou Yi glanced at the key reluctantly, his expression wavering.

Kong Huaijin tugged at his sleeve. "Come on, please. Actually, I have a friend who really likes you. She's a huge fan and begged me to arrange this. Don't make me lose face in front of her, alright?"

Kong Huaijin was starting to act more like a young girl around Zhou Yi.

Finally, Zhou Yi relented. "Alright, I'll go."

Kong Huaijin had gone this far. If he refused now, it would seem like he was being unnecessarily difficult.

He hadn't agreed the first two times because he didn't want her to think he was an easy catch. People don't value things that come too easily. Everyone loves the chase but grows tired of things handed to them effortlessly—whether men or women.

Besides, with the Ferrari on the line, he couldn't let Kong Huaijin lose face.
