"Fu Hanjiang!!"
Sheng Xiangsi turned abruptly, charging at Fu Hanjiang and grabbing his collar. Her eyes were bloodshot, seething with anger.
"What unforgivable sin have I committed for you to keep tormenting me?"
Her Junjun was about to go into surgery!
She never said it, but William had mentioned… every surgery carries risks! No doctor could guarantee that Junjun would come out safely from the operating table!
If, by a tiny chance, one in a million, something happened to Junjun...
So, she had to get this Minnie to Junjun before the surgery!
"It's all your fault!"
Tears welled up in Sheng Xiangsi's eyes, her heart trembling, "It's ruined! You've ruined everything! Get out! Get out of my sight!"
She lost control, hitting and kicking him wildly.
Fu Hanjiang didn't fight back. Firstly, he wouldn't hit a woman, especially not his own woman. Secondly, he was taken aback.
He didn't expect Xiangsi to cry.
It was just a toy, why was she crying... like she had lost a loved one?
"Xiangsi, Sheng Xiangsi? Calm down."
"Get out! I don't want to see you! I beg you, leave me alone!"
"Xiangsi..."
Seeing that she couldn't calm down, Fu Hanjiang had to take a tough approach. He forcefully wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up like a child.
"!"
Sheng Xiangsi was stunned. What was he going to do now? Was this never going to end?
"Fu Hanjiang, put me down!" She struggled in his arms.
"No!"
She was stubborn, and so was Fu Hanjiang. If she wouldn't listen to words, he'd use actions. He carried her forward.
Not letting go, huh?
Sheng Xiangsi was infuriated. She lowered her head and bit his neck hard.
"Ah!"
Fu Hanjiang winced in pain, frowning and groaning. She bit so hard, was she trying to break his neck?
He didn't realize before how fierce her temperament was. She was like a wild, untamable little hyena. He had no choice but to release her.
Sheng Xiangsi immediately turned to run.
"Come back!"
Fu Hanjiang anticipated this and grabbed her wrist, causing her to stumble. "If you run, you can kiss that limited-edition Minnie goodbye."
Then he let go of her hand.
Waving dramatically, he said, "Go ahead, run."
??
Sheng Xiangsi was filled with confusion. What did he mean by that?
Fu Hanjiang smirked, seeing the little hyena had retracted her claws and wasn't baring her teeth anymore. That bite... it really hurt!
Touching the bite mark on his neck, he felt a trace of blood. She had actually bitten him hard enough to break the skin?
"Are you a mantis?"
What?
Sheng Xiangsi's eyes widened. What did he mean by that?
"Hmph."
Fu Hanjiang seemed in a good mood, pointing at her. "Even if you were a mantis, I haven't done anything yet, and you already tried to bite my neck off?"
"A mantis?" Sheng Xiangsi was completely baffled. What was he talking about? She understood each word, but not the sentence.
"Wait here."
Fu Hanjiang didn't explain. "If you want the limited-edition Minnie, stay quiet and don't cause trouble. Don't worry, you won't have to queue all night."
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Two seconds later, the call connected.
"It's me."
On the other end was Rong Zheng.
"Which manager is on duty at TeeMall tonight? Call him and tell him to come down immediately and open the door for me."
Fu Hanjiang spoke casually, almost nonchalantly.
"Right, I'll send you a picture..."
He looked at Sheng Xiangsi. "Do you have a picture of that 'Minnie'?"
Huh?
Sheng Xiangsi was taken aback, quickly nodding. "Yes, I do."
She immediately took out her phone, found the picture, and showed it to Fu Hanjiang.
Fu Hanjiang squinted. "Alright, send it to me."
"..." Sheng Xiangsi stood there, dazed, starting to guess what he was up to, but she was hesitant.
"What are you spacing out for?"
Fu Hanjiang's face darkened as he urged her, "Hurry up and send it!"
"... Okay."
Thinking of Junjun, she couldn't afford to miss this chance. Besides, he had disrupted her plan; even if he helped, it would only be fair.
Clenching her teeth, Sheng Xiangsi opened WeChat and sent the picture to him.
Fu Hanjiang forwarded it to Rong Zheng. "This is it. Have the counter open the door, I need one of these."
"Got it, Second Master."
The call ended.
In less than ten minutes, there was movement behind the side gate's rolling shutter door.
'Clatter'.
The rolling shutter door slowly lifted, light shining from inside. When it was about two-thirds open, someone emerged.
"Mr. Fu!"
The person, in his early thirties, was wearing the TeeMall uniform. Judging by the badge on his chest, he was the on-duty manager Fu Hanjiang had mentioned.
With a smile, he greeted, "Mr. Fu, you're here? Please come in."
"Hmm."
Fu Hanjiang nodded slightly, taking long strides inside. "Follow me!"
This was directed at Sheng Xiangsi.
The manager quickly attended to her. "Hello... please come in."
Accompanying Second Master Fu, she must have a special relationship with him. For Second Master to request a toy in the middle of the night, it had to be for her, right?
How could the manager dare to neglect her?
Sheng Xiangsi hesitated but followed.
...
The store was already open, and the lights were on.
The manager was instructing the staff to get the item. "Mr. Fu, please wait a moment, it will be here soon."
"Hmm."
Fu Hanjiang nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.
Sheng Xiangsi's emotions were complicated.
The Fu family was wealthy and powerful. It seemed they even had shares in TeeMall. Otherwise, no matter how influential Second Master Fu was, he couldn't command the manager so easily.
— Wealth and power.
An unchanging truth.
It didn't take long. The manager had already called the counter, coordinating their efforts.
Soon, a staff member arrived with a cart.
"Mr. Fu, Manager."
"Quick, open it." The manager gestured for them to hurry.
"Yes."
The staff quickly unboxed the item, revealing a transparent acrylic display case inside.
In it was a Minnie Mouse dressed in a red bow, red dress, and red outfit, standing about half a meter tall.
Fu Hanjiang glanced at Sheng Xiangsi, raising an eyebrow. "Is this it?"
"Yes!" Sheng Xiangsi's eyes sparkled. "That's it."
This was the Minnie Junjun had been longing for.
"Alright."
Seeing her obviously happy expression, Fu Hanjiang couldn't help but smile slightly, turning to the manager. "This one. Wrap it up."
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
The manager gestured for the staff to start wrapping it up.
Fu Hanjiang added, "Put it on my tab."
"Understood, Mr. Fu..."
"Wait a minute!"
