He Already Made a Move on Xiangsi

After not driving for many years, Sheng Xiangsi was extremely nervous throughout the drive. Her speed was comparable to that of a snail.

Fu Hanjiang didn't rush her, leaning back in his seat, eyes half-closed as if asleep.

Luckily, despite the tension, they finally arrived safely at Fu's residence.

Sheng Xiangsi parked the car in front of the main building, her hands still gripping the steering wheel and her body stiff, unable to relax.

She turned and glanced at the man beside her.

Softly, she called, "Fu Hanjiang, we're here. Wake up."

"Hmm..."

Fu Hanjiang groggily opened his eyes, immediately noticing her nervous demeanor.

"Ha."

He couldn't help but laugh, "So nervous? It's just driving."

Having been tense the whole way, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't hold it in anymore, "I told you I didn't want to drive! You insisted! Of course I was nervous. If you didn't want me to drive, you shouldn't have made me!"

"?"

Fu Hanjiang was taken aback, his eyes brightening.

At this moment, Sheng Xiangsi looked like a little cat showing its claws in his eyes!

"Pfft, haha..."

He couldn't hold back and laughed loudly.

"?" Sheng Xiangsi glared at him, puffing her cheeks in anger.

Such a terrible person, was she blind to have liked him in the past?

"Are you mad?"

Fu Hanjiang stifled his laughter. If he laughed any longer, the little cat would start baring its teeth. But even if he could hold back his laughter, he couldn't suppress his growing desire.

"Xiangsi, I want to kiss you!"

What did he say? Sheng Xiangsi's mind buzzed, unable to react in time.

The man had already leaned in, cupping her cheeks with his hands, and kissed her passionately.

His thin lips pressed firmly against hers.

His warm breath, mixed with the scent of alcohol, filled her mouth and nose.

In less than a second, Sheng Xiangsi's eyes widened.

Furious, she pounded on Fu Hanjiang.

"Let go..."

However, opening her mouth gave him an opportunity.

She was no match for him in strength!

He was crazy!

He was truly crazy!

What did he take her for? To treat her so casually? Before, she was the one clinging to him, it was her own doing!

But now?

She had been avoiding him in every way possible, yet he still treated her as he pleased!

Sheng Xiangsi was filled with hatred, hating him so much she wanted to perish together with him! Should she just bite him to death?!

However, before she could act.

The man suddenly let go of her, his head tilted, resting in the crook of her neck, then... he stopped moving.

What happened?

Sheng Xiangsi froze, calling softly, "Fu Hanjiang? Fu Hanjiang?"

The man didn't respond.

"Hey? What's wrong with you?"

Still no response. Could he have fallen asleep?

Sheng Xiangsi raised her hand, trying to move him, but he was too heavy. Despite her efforts, it was all in vain.

"Xiangsi!"

Fortunately, at that moment, Chen Zhong came out from inside.

"Second Master, you're finally back. I was about to go look for you if you hadn't returned soon."

"Uncle Chen."

Sheng Xiangsi didn't suspect anything, quickly asking for help, "Look at him. He seems to have fallen asleep drunk."

"Really?"

Chen Zhong came over and checked, "The Second Master is indeed asleep. We need to get him inside. Let me handle it."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"It's my duty."

Chen Zhong supported Fu Hanjiang, half-carrying, half-dragging him into the main building.

Sheng Xiangsi followed, guarding one side in case Fu Hanjiang stumbled and it got blamed on her.

Luckily, nothing happened.

Just as she was about to leave, she turned and saw Fu Mingzhu coming out of a room.

The old lady was delighted to see her, "Xiangsi? You're here?"

"Grandma," Sheng Xiangsi explained, "I... I just brought Fu Hanjiang back. He drank too much."

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Fu Mingzhu's eyes.

Really?

It seemed her grandson was telling the truth; he had already made a move on Xiangsi. What should she say?

The old lady walked closer and held her hand.

"It's late. Don't go back tonight. Have breakfast with Grandma in the morning, alright?"

"Grandma..."

"Be good. Are you not going to listen to Grandma?"

"It's not that." Sheng Xiangsi thought for a moment. She might as well stay the night.

Moreover, she hadn't yet resolved the issue with Mise and Fu Hanjiang.

"Alright then."

...

The next morning, Sheng Xiangsi got up early.

Fu Mingzhu, being older, had light sleep and also rose early.

"Xiangsi, you're up."

The old lady was on the terrace tending to her flowers. She waved at Sheng Xiangsi, "Breakfast isn't ready yet. Come and chat with Grandma."

"Okay, Grandma."

Sheng Xiangsi walked over and sat on a small chair.

"Xiangsi."

Fu Mingzhu put down the pruning shears and sat beside her, gazing at her closely.

"You've grown up, Xiangsi. You've become a fine young lady. It's no wonder the young men like you. Even Grandma likes you."

"Grandma?"

Sheng Xiangsi widened her eyes in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

What did she mean by young men liking her?

"Oh, you're embarrassed?"

Fu Mingzhu smiled kindly, not beating around the bush, "Why, isn't Zhong Pei a young man?"

"Grandma..."

Sheng Xiangsi laughed helplessly. The old lady still remembered this matter?

"Let's not talk about Zhong Pei for now."

Fu Mingzhu's smile faded, becoming more serious, "Today, Grandma wants to talk to you about someone else."

"What?" Sheng Xiangsi was puzzled.

Someone else?

"Sigh."

Fu Mingzhu sighed, biting her lip.

For her grandson's sake, she was ready to put her face on the line.

"Besides Zhong Pei, Grandma has another candidate in mind. I think he is better than Zhong Pei, and you two are more suitable."

Another matchmaker attempt?

But Sheng Xiangsi didn't catch who the old lady was referring to. Someone better than Zhong Pei? She couldn't possibly match up to someone better.

"Grandma, I really..."

"Let me finish."

Fu Mingzhu patted her hand, sensing her imminent refusal, "That person is... your Brother Hanjiang."

"??"

Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, her mouth agape in disbelief, unable to speak.

She never expected Fu Mingzhu to be acting as a spokesperson for Fu Hanjiang!

"Sigh..."

Fu Mingzhu sighed again, "Grandma knows it's thick-skinned of me to say this. He was the one who didn't want you before, and now he's the one who wants you back..."

The old lady felt genuinely troubled.

She couldn't help but rub her temples. That brat always causing trouble!

"But, Xiangsi, he came to Grandma, saying he wants you back and to be with you properly. As his grandmother, how could I refuse, right?"

The old lady observed Sheng Xiangsi's expression and continued.

"I believe he is serious this time... Besides, Xiangsi, you like him, right? You've liked him for many, many years, haven't you? If you get back together, it would fulfill your wishes, wouldn't it?"
