The More You Want, the Harder It Is to Get

Sheng Xiangsi lay on the ground, her consciousness not completely gone, but she had no strength, couldn't speak, and couldn't move.

In a daze, she felt someone come in.

It was the housekeeper.

"Huh? The lights are on?"

The housekeeper entered the living room.

She had left her phone behind when she left earlier and had come back to get it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked in, she saw Sheng Xiangsi lying on the ground.

"Miss Sheng?"

The housekeeper was initially stunned, then quickly realized something was wrong.

She hurried over, "Miss Sheng!"

She squatted down and helped Sheng Xiangsi up, seeing her eyes tightly closed and her face pale. She was terrified, "Miss Sheng, what's wrong with you? Miss Sheng, wake up!"

What to do? What to do?

And Mr. Fu wasn't home at this time!

Right, call 120! And inform the security at the gate, or 120 won't be able to get in!

…

At around five in the morning, Fu Hanjiang finished his meeting and left Shan Haicheng.

He drove back to Yintan, reeking of alcohol, planning to take a shower, change clothes, and catch a quick nap.

As he passed the gate of the residential area, the security guard saw him and was taken aback, "Mr. Fu, you're back?"

"Yeah." Fu Hanjiang nodded, not paying much attention.

The security guard added a comment, trying to be helpful, "Mr. Fu, is Miss Sheng alright? Is everything okay with her?"

"?"

Fu Hanjiang paused, stopped the car, and stared at the security guard, "What do you mean? What happened to my wife?"

This…?

The security guard wondered. It was interesting, Mr. Fu always referred to Miss Sheng as his wife, but Miss Sheng would correct him every time she heard it…

They really didn't know if they were actually married.

The security guard, being perceptive, immediately said, "Your wife was taken to the hospital last night. You didn't know?"

He thought Mr. Fu had already been informed and had rushed to the hospital first.

"?!" Fu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed, his pupils almost shattering, "Which hospital?"

"Uh?" The security guard was shocked, he really didn't know.

"I'm asking you, which hospital was my wife taken to!" Fu Hanjiang roared, his handsome face dark and cold.

"The city, the City First Hospital…"

With a screech, the black Bentley made a sharp turn, its wheels sparking against the ground.

Then, it sped out of the residential area at lightning speed.

At the hospital.

Sheng Xiangsi had just woken up. As soon as she woke up, she immediately picked up her phone and called her doctor.

"Dr. Ning, it's me."

This Dr. Ning was the doctor who prescribed her the ovulation-inducing drugs.

She recounted the events of last night over the phone, "...That's what happened. I'm at the hospital now."

On the other end, Dr. Ning said, "These days are your ovulation period. The reaction is a bit too strong. If you don't get pregnant this time, I don't recommend you continue taking the medication."

"..." Sheng Xiangsi was silent for a moment, "We'll see then. Thank you, Dr. Ning."

After hanging up, Sheng Xiangsi sighed deeply, clutching her phone.

The more you want something, the harder it is to get...

Outside the door, voices were heard.

Fu Hanjiang arrived, meeting the doctor at the door.

Fu Hanjiang's noble and clear brows showed the fatigue of a hangover and deep worry, "How is my wife? Why did she faint?"

"Initially, it seems Mrs. Fu is a bit weak, with insufficient blood and energy. However, to determine the exact cause, I recommend a thorough examination today."

"Alright."

Fu Hanjiang nodded and entered the ward.

Inside, a nurse was holding a cup, feeding Sheng Xiangsi water.

Seeing him, Sheng Xiangsi smiled faintly, "You're here."

She continued sipping the water slowly.

Fu Hanjiang stood there, staring at her pale, makeup-free face, which looked unhealthy in the morning light.

She was already thin, lying there, looking small and fragile. Fu Hanjiang's eyes darkened, his heart aching slightly.

After the water was finished, the nurse helped Sheng Xiangsi lie down, covered her with the quilt, and stepped aside.

Fu Hanjiang approached, sat by the bed, and gently held her hand.

When he spoke, it felt like a lump in his throat, "Xiangsi, I'm sorry."

He was such a mess! Just because he was jealous, he deliberately didn't answer her calls!

At that time, Xiangsi must have been very scared and helpless, especially when he didn't answer her calls. How desperate she must have felt?

Luckily, the housekeeper came back, otherwise...

Fu Hanjiang didn't dare to imagine, filled with fear!

He suddenly leaned down, holding Xiangsi with the quilt in his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Sheng Xiangsi didn't resist, partly because she had no strength, and partly because she knew resisting was useless.

Being held by him, she couldn't help but think of years ago…

How similar it was?

This person never managed to be by her side when she needed him…

"Xiangsi."

Fu Hanjiang cupped her cheeks, filled with regret and fear.

"It won't happen again. No matter what happens, I will never not answer your calls again…"

"Fu Hanjiang."

Abruptly, Sheng Xiangsi called his name.

"Hmm? What do you want to say?"

With her cheeks cupped in his hands, Sheng Xiangsi smiled, "I was wondering, have you ever missed a call from Yao Leyi?"

"!" Fu Hanjiang froze.

Sheng Xiangsi's smile was faint, "If it was her calling last night, would you have ignored it?"

"Xiangsi?"

Fu Hanjiang's heart clenched.

She was smiling, but it was far more painful for him than if she were crying and making a scene!

"Xiangsi, it was my fault. Forgive me this time. I swear, there won't be a next time!"

Sheng Xiangsi smiled, letting him hold her.

She insincerely said, "Alright, you said it."

"Yes!" Fu Hanjiang held her tighter as if afraid she would run away, "I won't dare anymore, never again."

He helped her lie down and discussed with her, "The doctor said you need a thorough examination to determine why you fainted…"

"No!" Before he could finish, Sheng Xiangsi decisively refused, "I don't want any examination."

Fu Hanjiang frowned, softly coaxing her, "A check-up to find out the cause, be good…"

"I'm just a bit weak." Sheng Xiangsi shook her head, refusing, "Dieting caused it, I'm anemic and have low energy, nothing serious."

No matter what Fu Hanjiang said, she refused.

"I don't like check-ups, don't force me!" Sheng Xiangsi turned her head away, angry, ignoring him.

Fu Hanjiang had no way to deal with her, she would get angry even when he meant well.

And he couldn't resist her.

"Alright, alright, no check-ups."

Fu Hanjiang compromised, then made a deal with her, "But next time you have any symptoms, you must come to the hospital immediately, no excuses, okay?"

Sheng Xiangsi glanced at him, "Alright."

Next time? There might not be a next time.

Since she didn't want a check-up, the doctor gave instructions for her to take good care of herself at home, and she was discharged.

That night.

After dinner.

Sheng Xiangsi raised her arm towards Fu Hanjiang, "Carry me."

"So lazy?" Fu Hanjiang teased, but obediently squatted in front of her, "Your Highness, please climb on."

Sheng Xiangsi smiled and leaned on his back.

"Let's go!"

Fu Hanjiang stood up, carrying her upstairs.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his whole body tensing.

His blood rushed from his feet to his head!
