"What helicopter? What cross-city?"
"Huh?" Bai Ran was also very surprised. "You're asking like that, does it mean you don't know...?"
Know what?
The answer was on the tip of her tongue.
Sheng Xiangsi covered her temples, trying to clear her thoughts. "You mean, last time, in Haicheng, it was Fu Hanjiang who used the helicopter to take me to the hospital?"
"Yes."
Bai Ran was confused by her question. "You don't know? Can't be, right? Didn't you see him when you woke up? Didn't he tell you such a big thing?"
No.
Fu Hanjiang didn't mention it, and she didn't ask.
He thought she knew; she thought... it was Zhong Pei!
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xiangsi suddenly closed her eyes—she remembered that Zhong Pei repeatedly said he didn't do anything...
It turns out he wasn't being modest.
He was just telling the truth.
So, where was Fu Hanjiang at that time? She didn't see him when she woke up; did he leave early?
Even more puzzling, why did he cross cities in a helicopter for her?
Back then, she mistakenly thought it was Zhong Pei because Zhong Pei liked her and cared for her.
But Fu Hanjiang? Could he also...
No, impossible!
The thought made Sheng Xiangsi laugh... that was absolutely impossible!
At this moment, Fu Hanjiang finished his call and walked over holding his phone.
Sheng Xiangsi looked up at the man's finely chiseled face and suddenly opened her arms, "Hug me."
"..." Fu Hanjiang was momentarily stunned, his Adam's apple involuntarily rolling... Acting coy so early in the morning, this was really killing him!
"What are you laughing at? Unwilling to hug me?"
Sheng Xiangsi frowned and lifted her foot slightly.
She glared at him with a mix of complaint and anger, "I'm not wearing shoes. If I go up myself, won't you get angry again?"
She was sitting, he was standing.
She looked up, and her eyes sparkled like two warm amber stones.
Incredibly beautiful.
Fu Hanjiang always knew she was beautiful, but back then, he didn't want to possess her. Now, he only wanted to make her his, unwilling even to let others take another look at her.
"I'm not getting angry, I'm willing."
Fu Hanjiang bent down and picked her up. "Sweet as honey, wished for and gained."
He carried her upstairs and placed her on the bed, "Going back to sleep?"
"No." Sheng Xiangsi shook her head, "If I sleep too much, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Alright."
Fu Hanjiang got up and brought her a tablet. "Watch some videos, play some games. I'll go handle some work and come back to accompany you when I'm done."
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Just go. I'm not a child; I don't need someone to keep me company."
"Okay."
He pulled the blanket over her and then remembered something, "By the way, why didn't you tell me when you changed places?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiangsi's heart pounded.
But her tone became even calmer, "Why should I tell you? The old place was too worn out. I was sharing the rent with someone. This time was an accident. Don't rush up there recklessly next time; it's inconvenient."
"Inconvenient?"
Fu Hanjiang thought for a moment, then realized, "The person you're sharing with has a child?"
"!" Sheng Xiangsi's heart twisted, her palms sweating with tension. "How did you know?"
"Do you think I'm dumb?"
Fu Hanjiang laughed and pinched her face. "I saw it yesterday, there are things for children in the house."
Then he frowned, "Could it be a couple?" Wouldn't that mean there's a man?
"What are you thinking?"
Sheng Xiangsi, intent on hiding Junjun, couldn't possibly tell the truth. "It's a single mother with a child."
"Oh." Fu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, it's inconvenient for you to go there." Sheng Xiangsi instructed, "Don't rush over recklessly next time."
Fu Hanjiang seized the chance to hug her, "Then promise me not to hide from me anymore. Do you know, I was almost driven mad when I couldn't find you?"
Driven mad?
Believing a man's words was less reliable than believing in ghosts!
Sheng Xiangsi didn't indulge him, "But you're not mad yet, right? How anxious were you? Not anxious enough, it seems."
Fu Hanjiang: ??
The man didn't stay long and went to the study to handle business.
After he left, Sheng Xiangsi's face darkened, and she threw the tablet aside.
Her mind was in chaos, full of tangled black lines.
No way? Could Fu Hanjiang... have some thoughts about her? The likelihood of this was almost as impossible as Halley's Comet hitting the Earth.
But thinking about Fu Hanjiang's actions these days...
What if Halley's Comet really hit the Earth?
...
Sheng Xiangsi was young, and with Fu Hanjiang's meticulous care, she recovered almost completely after two days of rest.
Only her right hand still had a bandage, and the bruises on her body hadn't completely faded.
Given her recent illness, the dance troupe knew she was Fu Hanjiang's person. With Gu Shaohua still recovering from his injuries and a temporary leader in place, they were "considerate" enough to schedule her performances early so she could go home and rest sooner.
These past two days, Fu Hanjiang came to pick her up every day, and they stayed at Silver Beach at night.
The reason was simple—she had just recovered from a serious illness and was still injured, needing care.
Since the address of Hexiyuan was already exposed, Sheng Xiangsi didn't dare to confront him head-on. If he rushed over and ran into Junjun, it would be bad.
So she had no choice but to comply with him and temporarily stay at Silver Beach.
That day, after the performance, Fu Hanjiang came to pick her up as usual.
In the car, Fu Hanjiang leaned over and fastened her seatbelt. "You have a rest day tomorrow. I'll take you to eat something."
Sheng Xiangsi was not very enthusiastic, "Eating again?"
"Medicinal porridge."
Fu Hanjiang chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, I know you're afraid of getting fat. Ordinary food, I wouldn't dare give you. Medicinal food is for health; it fills the stomach but doesn't make you gain weight."
"Then... I'll try it."
The place they went to was called 'A Bowl of Porridge,' hidden in an alley in a bustling area. Fu Hanjiang was resourceful to find this place.
When they got out of the car, Sheng Xiangsi saw a familiar figure.
"Bai Ran?"
Fu Hanjiang came over and held her hand, "Let's go."
"Wait!"
Sheng Xiangsi frowned, looking at the direction Bai Ran ran to, and asked, "Is that a hotel?"
"Yes." Fu Hanjiang nodded and pointed it out to her, "The sign says, budget hotel."
Sheng Xiangsi was puzzled, "What is Bai Ran doing here?"
Fu Hanjiang curled his lips, leaned close to her, and lowered his voice, "Not to speak ill of your friend, but this kind of hotel is usually... used for clandestine meetings."
"?"
Sheng Xiangsi suddenly looked up and glared at him, "Second Master knows this so well? Haven't come here infrequently, huh?"
Hey!
Fu Hanjiang was momentarily speechless, tapping his forehead, "My mistake, I was talking nonsense." He wrapped his arm around her and led her into the shop.
"Come on, let's not look. She's an adult, not a child... Let's have the porridge before it gets cold."
This was true.
The table was reserved, and the order was placed in advance, ready just as they arrived, freshly prepared and served.
"Enjoy your meal."
"How is it?" Fu Hanjiang looked at Sheng Xiangsi with anticipation.
Sheng Xiangsi tasted it lightly, "Hmm, it's delicious."
Though it was medicinal food, it didn't have the taste of medicine. It was light and soft, very appetizing, and it immediately stimulated her appetite.
In the end, she finished it all and still wanted more.
"Glad you liked it."
After eating, Fu Hanjiang held her as they left. "I'll bring you here again. Today I got you a porridge for warming the womb. It can be taken long-term..."
He was babbling on.
Suddenly, Sheng Xiangsi saw Bai Ran rush out of the hotel, fighting with another woman.
Bai Ran was at it again!
