"Here."
Fu Hanjiang extended his arm, handing the phone to Sheng Xiangsi, "Take it. Are you that scared of me? Am I a ghost?"
"Thank you."
Sheng Xiangsi dared not say yes; she still needed his help.
However, her expression had already betrayed her.
"What are you thinking?"
Compared to his previous rage, Fu Hanjiang seemed like a different person now, teasing her, "Are you thinking I'm a ghost or even scarier than one?"
"?"
Before Sheng Xiangsi could retort, the man grabbed her hand, pulling her close to him.
Sheng Xiangsi nearly lost her balance, her forehead bumping into his chest.
Fu Hanjiang held her waist with one hand, brushing her fallen hair behind her ear with the other.
With a low laugh, he said slowly, "So what if I'm a ghost? You still care about me, don't you?"
"??"
Sheng Xiangsi's eyes widened in shock. What did he say? When did she ever care about him? How could she not know?
Cough.
Fu Hanjiang cleared his throat lightly, finding her glaring expression tickling his throat.
Xiangsi's features were all attractive. The best were her eyes, lively and expressive.
Especially when she wasn't talking.
It wasn't noticeable before because she used to talk a lot.
Now that she was quieter, her eyes shone even brighter.
Fu Hanjiang looked into her eyes, "Why are you glaring at me? Am I wrong?"
He pointed at her phone, "If you didn't care about me, why did you secretly look up Xia Meng?"
Ah? Sheng Xiangsi realized; that's what he meant!
But wasn't Fu Hanjiang overestimating himself? Wasn't he too good at imagining things?
"Fu Hanjiang…" she tried to explain.
"I've thought about what you said earlier."
Hearing this, Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, putting aside her explanation, taking a deep breath, and pressing her lips together.
Gripping her phone tightly, "As long as Bai Ran is released, I'll give you the phone, and… I didn't re-record it this time, I swear!"
Ruining Yao Leyi wouldn't benefit her at all; she just wanted Bai Ran to be safe.
"Sheng Xiangsi."
Fu Hanjiang had lost the harshness and gloominess from the car, "I want you back with me, as my girlfriend."
What?
Sheng Xiangsi was dumbfounded.
This man, was he this greedy? Protecting Yao Leyi on one hand, and wanting her back on the other?
"No…"
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't understand, "Are we discussing the same thing? Have you forgotten I have the video of Yao Leyi?"
"I haven't forgotten."
Fu Hanjiang, hands in his pockets, lazily said, "What do you want to do? Post it online? Go ahead, post it! You post, I intercept! For every one you post, I intercept one!"
Leaning down, his handsome face was almost touching hers.
"Let's see if your hands are faster, or my 170,000 Fu Corporation employees' hands are faster."
"!!"
Sheng Xiangsi's back stiffened, cold sweat seeping out.
"Aren't you afraid that the 170,000 employees of Fu Corporation will see Yao Leyi's disgraceful side?"
"Not afraid."
Fu Hanjiang shook his head, completely unconcerned, "They work for Fu Corporation for a salary. I can pay more; as long as the money is enough, secrets can remain secrets forever!"
Staring at Sheng Xiangsi's pale face, he smirked, "Don't believe me? You can try!"
"As long as I give the order, any movement on your phone, your social media accounts..."
"!"
Sheng Xiangsi abruptly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
How could she fight against the wealthy and powerful Fu Hanjiang alone?
But she couldn't agree to his terms!
She left him for the sake of her child and didn't want any entanglements with him anymore!
Moreover, she was pregnant now, if he found out…
"Fu Hanjiang."
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't imagine, fighting back, she pointed at Xia Meng, "You already have a girlfriend, you don't need me."
"You mean her."
Fu Hanjiang chuckled, raising an eyebrow, not bothering to explain.
"I thought about it. What you said made sense, so I tried being with another woman, changing girlfriends…"
His gaze dropped to Sheng Xiangsi's face, locking on tightly.
"But what can I do? After trying, I found it didn't work… No other woman satisfies me. Only you are my favorite."
His breath, warm and gentle, blew on her face, making Sheng Xiangsi shiver, feeling a chill.
She glared at him, her lips pressed tightly, saying nothing.
"Heh."
Fu Hanjiang laughed, not pushing her.
"Not talking? It's okay, this is a big matter, take your time to think about it. When you've made up your mind, call me, but—"
His smile faded, tone shifting.
"There's only one chance. I'll only listen to your decision, not your reasons."
After saying that, he took her hand.
"?" Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, "What are you doing?"
Was he going to take her away now? By force?
"So impatient?"
Fu Hanjiang seemed a bit helpless, shaking his head, "Don't worry, I said I'd give you time, and I mean it. Since I brought you here, I'll take you away."
Was he going to leave her here alone?
It was late, at night, and she was a girl… She had encountered 'bad guys' twice since she came to Jiangcheng.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
He led Sheng Xiangsi towards the hall's exit.
"Mr. Fu…"
Soon, Xia Meng ran over, panting, looking at Fu Hanjiang pitifully.
She glanced at Sheng Xiangsi holding his hand, feeling very jealous.
Pretending not to understand, she asked, "Are we leaving?"
"Mm, we are."
Fu Hanjiang nodded, pulling Sheng Xiangsi closer, "Her and I, not you."
"?" Xia Meng's face instantly turned pale, even with makeup, it was noticeable.
A young girl, inexperienced, immediately burst into tears, "Mr. Fu, didn't you say I'm your girlfriend? Are you going to abandon me?"
Tsk.
Fu Hanjiang's brows furrowed tightly.
Where did the Dongyu manager find this newbie? Didn't she have any brains? He said one casual sentence, and she believed she was his girlfriend?
Before today, he didn't even know what she looked like, okay?
Didn't she see he was using her to 'anger' Xiangsi?
As it turned out, it worked a bit.
Didn't Xiangsi secretly 'look her up'?
"Alright."
Fu Hanjiang didn't want to waste words, "Then I'm officially telling you now, we're breaking up."
After saying that, he continued walking out with Sheng Xiangsi.
"Hey…"
Sheng Xiangsi hadn't recovered, involuntarily looking back at Xia Meng, the girl was really crying!
She suddenly looked up, stunned, glaring at the man beside her. Truly a scumbag!
"What?"
Noticing her gaze, Fu Hanjiang looked down at her, "Want to say something?"
"Hmph." Sheng Xiangsi sneered, "You can be so heartless dumping a girl, why can't you let me dump you?"
"What? Want to control me?"
Fu Hanjiang abruptly stopped, staring at her.
His deep eyes were dark, like two swamps.
"Fine, become my girlfriend first!"
"Sheng Xiangsi, listen, if we reconcile this time, and I don't make any fundamental mistakes, you can't just dump me!"
