Chereads / My Ex-Husband Fell in Love with Me / Chapter 46 - He Mistook

Chapter 46 - He Mistook

As the car drove on, Fu Hanjiang occasionally glanced at the woman beside him.

"Are you okay?" 

"Yeah."

Sheng Xiangsi held onto her backpack, nodding slightly.

Fu Hanjiang noticed her actions, furrowing his brow—this kind of behavior, holding onto the bag, showed a lack of security.

It seemed like she had been quite frightened just now.

Thinking of the middle-aged man from earlier, Fu Hanjiang felt annoyed, "Who was that person just now? Why did he bother you?"

Regardless of the reason, anyone who dared to harm someone from the Fu family would not be let off lightly!

"I don't know him."

Sheng Xiangsi hesitated, shaking her head.

"He mistook the wrong person."

"Mistook the wrong person?" Fu Hanjiang was taken aback. Really?

The man from just now didn't seem like he would make such a mistake.

"Yeah, he did." Sheng Xiangsi nodded firmly. "I explained to him, but he didn't believe me. He just came up and grabbed me..."

"Hmph." Fu Hanjiang believed her. "He must have some mental issues!"

But since Sheng Xiangsi didn't know him, there was no way to teach him a lesson.

He regretted not asking more clearly just now.

"What about you..."

Thinking back to the situation just now, Fu Hanjiang still felt a lingering fear, "What would you have done if I hadn't come?"

"Huh?" Sheng Xiangsi was surprised, not understanding what he meant.

"You idiot."

Fu Hanjiang laughed in exasperation, "Why didn't you call for help? In such a crowded place, with so many people around, you didn't think to yell for help?"

It was such a simple way to save herself, and she didn't even think of it?

"Oh." Sheng Xiangsi understood now, nodding. "I see, I'll pay attention next time."

After that, the two of them fell silent in the car.

Fu Hanjiang wanted to ask her why she was so resistant to being touched by men... but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

He drove her to West 12th Street, at the entrance of the alley.

The car stopped, and Sheng Xiangsi thanked him, "Thank you for driving me back."

"Yeah."

Sheng Xiangsi pushed open the car door and got out. When she turned to grab her backpack, something fell out from inside and landed on the seat.

"Xiangsi."

Fu Hanjiang picked it up, intending to hand it to her.

Upon looking, it was a hamburger.

"I'm sorry."

Sheng Xiangsi hurriedly took it, apologizing, "It's packaged and hasn't been opened, so there's no smell."

What?

Fu Hanjiang frowned, "Do you think I would mind if the car smelled like a hamburger?"

"Yeah." Sheng Xiangsi nodded, isn't that so?

On the day she came back, she cooked noodles at the beach, and he refused to eat them.

Now that he thought about it, Fu Hanjiang also remembered.

It was his own actions, he couldn't argue with her.

"Not at all!"

Fu Hanjiang suppressed his irritation and said firmly, "It's not like I've never done it before. Don't accuse me without reason."

"Oh, I see."

Sheng Xiangsi nodded. If there wasn't, then there wasn't. What was the point of getting upset?

She stuffed the hamburger back into her bag, and Fu Hanjiang felt uncomfortable again. "You're not telling me that's your lunch, are you?"

What time was it? And she hadn't eaten yet, just this?

"No."

Sheng Xiangsi shook her head quickly, "I already had lunch. I'm just a bit hungry now."

Oh.

Fu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze fell on her backpack— a Decathlon backpack, priced at only a few tens of dollars.

Looking at what she was wearing, a T-shirt on top and denim overalls on the bottom, all made of very ordinary materials.

To put it nicely, it was frugal, but to put it bluntly—it was shabby!

Fu Hanjiang furrowed his brows tighter and tighter. He had never paid much attention to her before, and rarely looked at her properly.

Now thinking about it, from the moment she returned to the country, she had dressed like this.

She said she didn't want to be a parasite anymore, and wanted to rely on herself to live her life well...

It seemed that it wasn't just empty words.

He didn't know what she was thinking.

She opened the zipper of her backpack, put it on her shoulders, and waved to Fu Hanjiang, "I'm going in. Goodbye."

"Yeah, goodbye."

Fu Hanjiang sat in the car, watching her walk away step by step.

For a moment, there was an inexplicable feeling of turmoil in his chest, indescribable but uncomfortable.

...

As the night fell over Jiangcheng, the city came alive.

Tonight was the final of the Dance Battle Championship!

Before the final began, Mi Se was already packed to the brim, and eventually had to stop letting people in.

All the dancers tonight had given fantastic performances.

And the result was undoubtedly in favor of Sheng Xiangsi.

"S! Dance Queen!"

"S! Dance Queen!"

"S! Dance Queen!"

Backstage, Sheng Xiangsi could still hear the thunderous cheers from the audience.

This situation was, of course, expected and welcomed by Manager Wu.

However, what Manager Wu didn't expect was that Fu Hanjiang didn't show up tonight.

"Oh."

Manager Wu couldn't help but be at a loss. "It's a pity that Master Fu didn't come..."

Sheng Xiangsi didn't think it was a pity. "Manager Wu, he hasn't been here for several days in a row. Maybe that day was just a passing remark."

"Oh?"

Manager Wu was taken aback. "Are you sure?"

He even brought her flowers and midnight snacks...

"But he really didn't come tonight."

Sheng Xiangsi didn't argue with him, just stated the fact. "So, what should we do now? The first-place winner tonight was supposed to go out and toast."

Now that Fu Hanjiang hadn't come, it couldn't be counted, right?

"It doesn't matter," Manager Wu said hesitantly. "I'll go explain! Let's just go out and toast now."

"No!" Sheng Xiangsi stopped him, "This drink is still reserved for Master Fu."

"Huh?" Sheng Xiangsi was surprised. "Why? You wouldn't be breaking your word. He didn't come himself..."

"Oh, my dear Xiangsi!"

Manager Wu sighed and smiled bitterly. "If he really doesn't come, I may lose his money,

but if he happens to remember, I won't be able to escape unscathed!"

Sheng Xiangsi furrowed her brow, choosing to remain silent.

It seemed that in Jiangcheng, the name of Master Fu was still greatly feared.

"What about outside...?"

The people outside were still waiting to see the Dance Queen toast the top bidder.

This was also the highlight of tonight!

Since Fu Hanjiang hadn't come, the toast couldn't proceed... Would the people outside agree?

"It's okay, I'll go explain!"

Manager Wu waved his hand, unafraid. "I'll announce Master Fu's name outside and see who dares to object."

Alright.

Sheng Xiangsi had nothing more to say. They had discussed it thoroughly.

"I'll go ahead."

Manager Wu patted his shiny bald head, flexing his arms, and went to the front.

"Everyone, the exciting moment has arrived! As you all know, tonight's top bidder will receive a special toast from our Miss S herself!"

"Now, I'll announce tonight's top bidder... Master Fu Hanjiang!"

"Wow!"

"It's Master Fu!"

The atmosphere grew even livelier.

After all, who wouldn't love to see a story about a top-tier tycoon supporting a dancer?
