What's Wrong with Seizing?

Sheng Xiangsi was completely stunned.

She didn't understand why Fu Hanjiang was here.

Also, it seemed like he couldn't talk nicely. What was with this bad temper of a nobleman!

But then again, Fu Hanjiang wasn't like this, and neither was Zhong Pei.

Sheng Xiangsi chuckled faintly. His bad temper was probably only directed at her.

Despite everything, he had saved her just now, and that was a fact.

Sheng Xiangsi tried to steady herself, attempting to push Fu Hanjiang away, "Thank you for earlier, I..."

"What do you mean, you?" 

Fu Hanjiang's single hand firmly held her waist, smiling contemptuously.

"Trying to push me away? Can you even stand on your own right now?"

Sheng Xiangsi: ...

Probably not.

"Why are you glaring at me?"

Seeing her grape-like eyes, Fu Hanjiang found it amusing, "Was I the one who gave you that low-down stuff?"

"!" Sheng Xiangsi froze. He had heard?

He actually heard? Did he know what Liao Qingru did to her?

When did he start showing up?

"Enough."

The next second, Fu Hanjiang lifted his arm, effortlessly picking her up horizontally, and sighed lightly, speaking with a tone of reluctant kindness.

"Since I'm already worried, I might as well see it through to the end. Which room is it?"

Was he really so kind?

Sheng Xiangsi was doubtful but had no strength to argue, so she reported her room number, thanking him softly, "Thank you."

"Mm." Fu Hanjiang accepted it unreservedly, "As long as you know."

At the door, Fu Hanjiang set Sheng Xiangsi down, pulled her room card from her bag with one hand, opened the door, and then picked her up again.

He walked quickly, gently yet seriously placing her on the bed, and when he let go, he even smoothed her long hair, afraid it might be uncomfortable.

Then he pulled the quilt over her.

After doing all this, he didn't leave immediately but stood tall by the bedside, carefully observing her expression.

He frowned and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I..." Sheng Xiangsi frowned slightly, feeling her condition, and said truthfully, "I have no strength."

"Just that?"

"Mm?" Sheng Xiangsi didn't understand, nodding, "Just that."

What else should she feel?

"Oh."

Fu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Liao Qingru's drug was just to make Xiangsi lose her ability to resist, similar to a mild anesthetic.

It wasn't like the substances used in some shady places.

But even so, it was detestable!

If he hadn't turned back at the last moment, thinking of that thug, could Xiangsi have resisted?!

Liao Qingru, a noblewoman, for the sake of her son, disregarded other people's lives!

Thinking this, a heavy shadow of anger covered Fu Hanjiang's face.

Sheng Xiangsi saw it and felt a bit uneasy.

She spoke softly, "Are you... not leaving?"

"Where should I go?" Fu Hanjiang, still angry, glanced at her, "In your current state, you might get taken away and sold if I leave!"

It was hard to say; Liao Qingru might come up with another scheme if the first one failed!

Sheng Xiangsi felt his sudden anger, somewhat used to it now... Fine, let him do what he wants.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Fu Hanjiang realized his tone had been a bit harsh.

"Ahem."

He coughed lightly, awkwardly speaking, "Well... you said you have no strength. What if you need to drink water or go to the bathroom?"

He pulled a chair to the bedside and sat down, "I'll be the good guy to the end. I'll leave when you feel better."

This...

Sheng Xiangsi thought, he could help with drinking water, but he couldn't help with going to the bathroom.

But she dared not argue, as he indeed meant well this time.

Just as she was about to speak, "..."

"Shut up!"

Fu Hanjiang seemed to sense it, impatiently interrupting her, "I don't need your thanks. Just rest well!"

He threw his legs over the bed's edge, closed his eyes, and leaned back, taking a break.

Now, Sheng Xiangsi had time to scrutinize him.

What had happened to him?

Where did he come from?

She had noticed earlier—Fu Hanjiang had a bandage wrapped around his head, which she could see.

He was injured?

A head injury? Were there any other injuries on his body?

What had he come to Philadelphia for? How did he get hurt? Was he also at the RED dance troupe yesterday?

But, he didn't like watching modern dance...

Before she could figure anything out...

The doorbell rang!

Fu Hanjiang abruptly opened his eyes, pulled his long legs back, and swiftly walked to the door.

"Who is it?"

He didn't open the door immediately but looked through the peephole.

Instantly, his scalp tingled—outside the door were Liao Qingru and Zhong Pei!

In an instant, Fu Hanjiang understood—Liao Qingru was here to do what!

That old fox Liao Qingru!

She first used underhanded tactics on Xiangsi, had a thug bully her, then brought Zhong Pei to 'see the scene'!

Hah!

A ruthless noblewoman! To make her son give up, she didn't mind stabbing him in the heart!

Fu Hanjiang abruptly turned around, looking at Sheng Xiangsi on the bed.

What should he do now?

If he opened the door and exposed everything Liao Qingru had done in front of Zhong Pei, then Xiangsi and Zhong Pei would be unaffected, their relationship growing stronger.

But, what if he didn't?

What if he played along?

Taking advantage of Liao Qingru's scheme, only with him as the man 'bullying' Xiangsi!

This way, Liao Qingru's plan would succeed... Zhong Pei and Xiangsi would be separated!

Once the idea emerged, it spread like a demon, quickly filling his mind!

Why had he turned back?

He hadn't forgotten!

He was here to steal Sheng Xiangsi away!

Ignoring the doorbell, his eyes gradually darkened, and he stepped back to the bed, suddenly bending down, his arms bracketing Sheng Xiangsi's body.

"?"

Sheng Xiangsi was startled. What was he doing?

"Xiangsi."

Fu Hanjiang raised his hand, gently resting it on her shoulder.

"What?" Sheng Xiangsi felt uneasy, looking at him anxiously. "What are you going to say?"

Fu Hanjiang's thin lips pressed into a line, his inner fire igniting at that moment, his voice lowered to the extreme.

"Sorry, Xiangsi... I'm sorry."

Then, his fingers gripped her collar and tore it open.

Riiiiip.

The sound of fabric tearing filled the air!

Sheng Xiangsi's eyes widened in shock, staring at him in disbelief, "What are you doing?!"

What was he doing?

Of course, Fu Hanjiang knew, but what was wrong with it?

For her, he had almost lost his life!

It was luck that he was standing here today! But yesterday, he could have died for her!

Since he wanted her so badly, wanted her enough to risk his life... then, what was wrong with seizing her in a despicable way?!

Fu Hanjiang stood up, raising his hand, reaching for his neck, unbuttoning his shirt, one button after another.
