"So, what were you going to do?" Fu Chenshang glanced at her and, seeing that she wasn't speaking, he relented, "Tell me, and maybe I'll consider letting you go."
"Really?" Song Anjiu hurriedly explained everything, which was nothing more than the time she won one hundred thousand yuan as the first prize in an illegal car race, consequently stealing someone else's thunder and being hated and challenged to a one-on-one.
The next second, without even thinking, Fu Chenshang outright refused, "You're not allowed to go."
Song Anjiu bristled, "At least think about it before you answer, hey! Didn't you say you would consider it? It's not my fault—it's someone else provoking me!"
"Fine, I ask you, what if you don't go?"
"It will be... very humiliating!" she muttered.
"In the future, you will sever all ties with those people, so this assumption is invalid."
"Who said I'm going to cut off all relations with those people?"
"I did," he said, and then he directly scooped her up by the waist.
"Fu Chenshang, let me go!"
"If you want me to do it again, keep moving!" His words carried an ambiguous tone as his breath fanned her ear.
"You..."
Song Anjiu glared at him fiercely, her whole body trembling, truly angered.
Fu Chenshang massaged his forehead, his large hand on her back soothing her, "Aren't you tired? Do you really want to go that much?"
Tired! How could she not be tired? Who would want to go! There was just no other way!
"If you don't want to go, why force yourself?"
You think I want to!
"Rest easy, okay? I promise that when you wake up, this matter will have no impact on you."
Great, it was clearly he who wouldn't let her go, and now it turned into her not wanting to go, and he was just kindly helping her decide.
The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt. It was one thing for it to happen once or twice, but why did this man always manage to completely turn the situation around in just a few words, and made her unavoidably convinced? This skill of turning black into white was too incredible!
Could it be that Heaven sent him to collect her!
"Good girl, sleep now!"
The comforting voice and the warm hand on her back gradually calmed her. As she was truly exhausted, once the burden was lifted, she almost immediately fell asleep.

In the morning, Fu Chenshang was making breakfast when the doorbell rang.
Today was really not peaceful.
Outside.
"Dad, why don't you just trust me? That Song Anjiu really looks like a dinosaur, with your son's taste, how could I possibly take advantage of her!"
"Shut up, you rascal! I don't know what's wrong with you!"
Yes! He really must have been crazy to bet with someone to mess with that monster, causing him to almost not graduate in peace. Now the whole school was gossiping that he was desperately in love with Shengjin, the number one bizarre woman, and he was losing all face.
When Fu Chenshang opened the door, the father and son were in the middle of a heated argument.
Xue Zhenchu was taken aback by the sight of Fu Chenshang in a little bear apron, but quickly regained his composure and pulled his son forward, "Mr. Fu, sorry for the disturbance so early in the morning, today I brought this rascal to apologize to your Anjiu!"
"Dad, if anyone should apologize, it should be you, I'll never apologize to that monster..."
Slap—" Xue Zhenchu landed a slap, and Xue Hao covered his face in disbelief; his dad had never hit him like this before. Damn Song Anjiu! Today, this feud was definitely settled! If he didn't make her pay, he wouldn't be Xue Hao!
Amidst the commotion, Song Anjiu, hearing the noise, walked over in her slippers, hugging a pillow, drowsily, her face bare and dressed in a pink floral cotton nightgown prepared by Fu Chenshang beside the bed.
Obviously, she wasn't fully awake, otherwise she would never wear that nightgown to death.
Seeing Xue Hao's face, she immediately became a bit more alert and switched to a disdainful and provoking expression, "Oh! Isn't this young Master Xue? What? Didn't get enough the other day?"
