What If She Cries and Causes Trouble Again

Suddenly, Sheng Xiangsi interrupted them, holding up her phone. "Excuse me, where do I pay? I'll pay for it."

"This..." The manager was very surprised, looking at Fu Hanjiang suspiciously.

What's going on here?

Fu Hanjiang, however, just smiled, an air of inherent nobility in his expression.

He spoke with a hint of disdain, "You pay? Don't be ridiculous."

He was buying her a toy and she wanted to pay for it?

He already knew she hadn't taken any alimony; she only had the little money she earned from dancing at the club.

"Your hard-earned money, keep it for yourself. I'll..."

"I want to pay myself!" Sheng Xiangsi insisted, gritting her teeth. "If you don't let me pay, then... I won't take this Minnie!"

Really?

Fu Hanjiang observed her. Could she really bear to part with it? From the beginning, she hadn't taken her eyes off the Minnie.

She wanted to maintain distance from him and avoid getting too involved.

Alright, let her be.

It was his fault for messing up her plans. Making her grateful for this favor wouldn't mean much anyway.

"Fine, fine."

He spoke in a tone like he was coaxing a child, "You pay, as long as you're not angry."

Hearing him agree, Sheng Xiangsi was delighted, not noticing any peculiar tone in his voice. "Manager, where do I pay?"

"Hehe, please follow me."

The manager found the situation quite amusing. Rich people sure had their quirks. He was just a tool here, so he just needed to cooperate.

"Will you be paying by cash, card, or QR code?"

"QR code."

"Alright." The manager said, "The original price is 39,000. The internal price is 21,000. Since you're a... friend of Mr. Fu's, you can have it for the cost price of 16,000. Please scan the code."

How... much??

16,000?

She just saved over 20,000?

Sheng Xiangsi was so moved she almost cried. "Thank you, thank you so much."

"You're welcome." The manager couldn't take the credit. "You should thank Mr. Fu."

Sheng Xiangsi understood this was all because of Fu Hanjiang.

While she scanned the code, Fu Hanjiang glanced over and saw the price, raising his eyebrows.

A toy for 39,000?

This thing? It wasn't exactly cheap, but it wasn't something an average family could afford either.

Fu Hanjiang chuckled wryly. It didn't matter—

Now, without relying on the Fu family, he could earn plenty of money on his own.

The alimony he offered in the divorce agreement was all money he had earned himself (of course, he hadn't told anyone about this).

In the future, supporting her wouldn't be an issue.

Otherwise, if he couldn't buy it, or if she couldn't afford it, what would he do if she cried and caused trouble again?

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, Fu Hanjiang clutched his neck.

Fu Hanjiang was holding the spot where Sheng Xiangsi had bitten him earlier.

Sheng Xiangsi looked at him silently. Was it really that painful? Had she really bitten that hard?

"You..."

Seeing the Minnie, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't just ignore it. She pursed her lips, feeling a bit guilty, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Would you feel bad if it hurt?"

He smiled, his thin lips curling slightly.

Sheng Xiangsi hesitated, regretting asking him.

"Hmph."

Fu Hanjiang looked a bit disappointed. "You bit me, and you don't even have the heart to say you feel bad?"

He let go of his neck. The manager saw a small bite mark on Fu Hanjiang's neck, with some blood oozing out. 

The manager's teeth ached. Rich people sure had their fun.

Had they just been getting intimate and now came here to mess with them?

Sheng Xiangsi didn't know about the manager's speculations. She asked sincerely, "Do you have a first aid kit?"

It seemed she had broken the skin; it needed treatment.

Well...

The manager looked at Mr. Fu, who gave him a sharp look. He understood immediately and didn't hesitate.

Firmly, he said, "No! We're not a pharmacy; why would we have a first aid kit?"

...Even if they had one, they wouldn't admit it.

Sheng Xiangsi didn't suspect anything, apologizing to Fu Hanjiang, "How about we find a nearby pharmacy?"

There should be a 24-hour one around.

"Fine."

Fu Hanjiang was satisfied; at least she wasn't ignoring him.

The staff came out with the packed Minnie and asked the manager, "Who should we give this to?"

"To me," Sheng Xiangsi automatically reached out.

"Wait."

Fu Hanjiang lifted his eyelids and glared at her, "What's it got to do with you?"

He raised his arm, "Give it to me."

"Uh, alright, Mr. Fu..."

The staff handed the box to Fu Hanjiang, who held the half-meter-high box with ease.

However, who had ever seen Mr. Fu carrying a box down the street?

The incongruity made Sheng Xiangsi chuckle.

"Hmm?" Fu Hanjiang heard it, looking down at the girl beside him. "Are you laughing at me?"

"..." Sheng Xiangsi quickly stifled her laugh, shaking her head, "No."

No? Fu Hanjiang didn't believe it. But seeing her smiling face, he decided to let it go.

"Go ahead and laugh."

He said, "You look better when you smile, you know? You look awful when you cry! Don't cry anymore, got it?"

She looked awful?

Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, turning her face away.

Why did she care what he thought? In his eyes, only Yao Leyi was pretty.

…

There was a pharmacy near TeeMall.

It was just a few steps away.

Sheng Xiangsi said, "Why don't you let Uncle Chen buy it? I'll... head home first."

"You dare!"

Fu Hanjiang was instantly furious, pointing at his neck, "Isn't this your doing? If Uncle Chen finds out I was bitten here by you, how am I supposed to face anyone?"

"Hey!"

Sheng Xiangsi waved her hands in panic, "Keep your voice down!"

It was late at night, yelling like this would attract the police.

She compromised, "I'll go, alright?"

"Hmph." Fu Hanjiang snorted, "As you should."

In the pharmacy, Fu Hanjiang sat on a bench while Sheng Xiangsi bought disinfectant swabs and band-aids.

She gestured to him, "Unbutton your collar, or the disinfectant might stain it."

"You do it."

Mr. Fu spread his arms on the bench back, looking leisurely and authoritative.

Fine, for the sake of saving over 20,000 yuan, she endured.

Sheng Xiangsi gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and reached for his neck, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, his prominent Adam's apple moved, inadvertently brushing against her fingertips.

Sheng Xiangsi paused, thinking it wasn't her fault, right?

Tsk!

Fu Hanjiang frowned instantly, his gaze darkening, his voice hoarse, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Didn't she know a man's Adam's apple was sensitive?

"No, you're overthinking it."

Sheng Xiangsi shook her head calmly, opening the disinfectant swab and moving closer to his neck. "Don't move, I'm going to disinfect it."

"Mm." Fu Hanjiang grunted, nodding.

The cool disinfectant wiped over the wound, and Sheng Xiangsi pouted, blowing on it to help the disinfectant dry faster.

"..."

Fu Hanjiang only felt his whole body heat up.

He squinted his eyes. Where did this girl learn this? She wasn't like this before.

Before, she would just scream and fuss, managing everything.

Now, she was silent, but every move... was tantalizing beyond measure.
