Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 138 A Reluctant Admission: He’s Enchanting

Kong Huaijin chuckled softly, "What's this? Are you eager to marry off your sister already? I'm just curious—how does someone so young, only nineteen, possess such remarkable skills and insight? His medical expertise alone is astonishing."

Kong Weizheng added, "Exactly. If he manages to cure that influential figure, this young man's future will know no bounds. After all, nothing is more precious than life; no amount of money can buy survival. Who knows when we might need his help?"

Kong Weizheng's implication was clear: both siblings should build a good rapport with Zhou Yi.

In this world, it's wise not to offend anyone, especially doctors—and certainly not someone like Zhou Yi, who surpasses ordinary physicians.

After all, having more friends opens up more opportunities—it never hurts.

Kong Huaijin's Affection Level toward Zhou Yi had reached 57—not quite affection yet, but rather a state of curiosity mixed with admiration.

Just then, her phone rang. It was her close friend, the wildly popular actress Elena Cruz.

"Huaijin, are you coming to my concert?"

"Of course, though I haven't found anyone to go with yet."

"Just come alone. I'll reserve you a great seat."

"Going solo to a concert feels too lonely. Just save me two spots—I'll find someone to bring along."

After exchanging a few words, they ended the call.

Kong Weizheng asked, "Was that Elena?"

"Yes, she's holding another concert, this time in Huaihai. I told her I'd show up to support her."

At that moment, Kong Xiaohe chimed in, "So that's why you insisted I attend—it's Elena's performance!"

Elena came from a wealthy family with ties to the Kongs. As a privileged young woman, she entered the entertainment industry right after university.

But calling it an "entry" would be inaccurate, given her family's wealth and resources, which positioned her at heights others could only dream of reaching.

With her stunning looks and enchanting voice, she quickly rose to fame and now held considerable status in the entertainment world.

"You didn't want to go, so I had to find someone else," said Kong Huaijin.

"Concerts are too loud, and besides, I have classes, sis."

"Fine, fine, I'll ask someone else."

Then, as if struck by an idea, Kong Xiaohe suggested, "Why don't you invite Brother Yi? He sings beautifully—seriously, sis, I'm not joking. Have you seen that video of him singing rock? Even I, a guy, was mesmerized."

"Zhou Yi can sing?"

Kong Huaijin was taken aback. The serious Zhou Yi she knew... singing rock? The contrast was striking.

Mentioning Zhou Yi lit up Kong Xiaohe's eyes. With admiration, he said, "Yes, he wrote two songs that are absolutely amazing. I think he could even perform as a guest at Elena's concert."

"You seem to really admire him. Is Zhou Yi that charming?"

"I do admire him. Honestly, it'd be perfect if he became my brother-in-law."

Kong Huaijin smiled wryly. She had no such intentions.

Zhou Yi and she were worlds apart in personality, and her marriage was destined to serve the interests of the Kong family.

Not to mention, the age difference made it inappropriate. If she were with Zhou Yi, it would be considered robbing the cradle—a significant age gap.

"Who could possibly tame your fiery personality? Zhou Yi seems far too honest."

"Dad, what are you saying? You make me sound like a tigress. Your daughter has plenty of admirers out there."

"Then why haven't you brought one home?"

"They're all unattractive. None meet my standards."

"There you go. You should start considering settling down. Don't bury yourself in work all the time. People might think I'm forcing you into it."

"Here we go again. Money is more appealing than men. Once I have enough, I can find any man I want."

"Aren't you rich enough? Have you found anyone yet? With your criteria, there isn't a single man in the country who meets your expectations."

Kong Huaijin smiled and remained silent.

Indeed, there wasn't a single man who met her standards.

Wealthy men were often unattractive and promiscuous, while poorer men seemed fixated solely on money—most approached her for her wealth.

Once they had money, they'd run off and play around. She'd seen it all and had little hope left for love or marriage.

An arranged marriage for business purposes was the most practical choice. To her, marriage was a bargaining chip, a strategic union.

As long as the partner wasn't too poor, too ugly, too immoral, or too incompetent.

Well, those requirements ruled out quite a crowd.

Kong Huaijin touched her freshly manicured nails. "Come to think of it, among everyone I know, Zhou Yi is the most handsome."

Kong Xiaohe clicked his tongue. "Just handsome? If he were a star, the audience would feast their eyes on him. If you were with someone like him, half the women in the country would envy you."

Kong Huaijin chuckled. "If he were with someone like me, half the men in the country would envy him."

Kong Weizheng teased, "Then the two of you should get together and make half the country jealous."

All three burst into laughter.

Later, Kong Xiaohe pulled up a video of Zhou Yi singing and showed it to Kong Huaijin.

The Zhou Yi in the video was completely different from the one she'd met earlier today.

This Zhou Yi was carefree and unrestrained, exuding an indescribable charm while belting out rock music.

She had to admit—he was truly handsome.

"Is this one of his own songs?"

It seemed Zhou Yi was indeed extraordinary.

"Yes, and he's written other songs too."

"I'll send it to Elena and see what she thinks."

Back at the Kong residence, Kong Huaijin washed up and lay down to rest.

The day's social engagements had been exhausting, and the alcohol had left her drowsy.

She scrolled through her phone briefly before deciding to sleep, when Elena called again.

The excitement in the woman's voice was palpable.

"Huaijin, you know Zhou Yi?"

"Yes, we had dinner together tonight."

"Oh my God!!! Can you introduce him to me?"

Kong Huaijin was surprised. "What? Do you like him?"

Elena, gripping the phone tightly, replied, "I adore his songs! How well do you know him? Are you close, or just acquaintances?"

Kong Huaijin rarely saw Elena this excited—the last time was when a senior idol invited her to be a guest at a concert.

"Well... we're not particularly close, but introducing you shouldn't be a problem. How about I invite him to your concert?"

"That would be fantastic! I'll be in Huaihai in a few days. Let's have dinner then."

"Sure, should I invite Zhou Yi too?"

"If you can, that would be perfect. If not, it's fine."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he comes."

When Kong Huaijin set her mind on inviting a man, she never failed.

Unfortunately, this time, she hit a wall with Zhou Yi.
