Can't You Just Give Me Some Peace of Mind?

In the dim light, Sheng Xiangsi's face turned pale.

Instinctively, she glanced at Ren Ce, then at Bai Yuanzhou.

Neither of them spoke, only signaling with their eyes—endure it.

With Ren Ce's previous warning in mind, Sheng Xiangsi took a deep breath, raised her hand, and placed it in Wu Wenshan's palm.

"Haha…"

Wu Wenshan was satisfied, laughing heartily. He grasped her hand and yanked her to his side.

Originally, he had his arm around her, but now he wrapped it around her waist.

In an instant, Sheng Xiangsi tensed up completely.

She clenched her fists, her fingers digging deeply into her palms...

"How old are you? What's your major?"

"24, studied modern dance…" Sheng Xiangsi answered, though she seemed not to hear her own voice.

"A dancer, huh? No wonder you have such a good figure."

Wu Wenshan raised his wine glass and held it in front of her. "First time meeting, let's have a drink."

"Yes…"

Sheng Xiangsi took the glass, her heart pounding. "Producer Wu, aren't you going to drink too?"

"You drink first." Wu Wenshan waved his hand. "Whatever you leave, I'll drink. Doesn't that make it feel more intimate?"

"Haha…"

His words elicited a burst of laughter from the surrounding men.

Sheng Xiangsi trembled slightly as she held the glass.

"Drink up." Wu Wenshan urged, "Don't be nervous. I don't want you to drink it all... I'm known for being gentle with women..."

As he spoke, his hand was already moving on Sheng Xiangsi's waist.

Sheng Xiangsi gripped the wine glass tightly, hoping that after drinking, he would let her go.

However, just as the glass touched her lips, Sheng Xiangsi was suddenly shocked as Wu Wenshan's hand moved to her leg!

"!"

At that moment, Sheng Xiangsi's nerves snapped!

She had been trying so hard to endure!

Even if she were not 'sick,' no normal woman could bear this!

So, before anyone could react, Sheng Xiangsi raised the wine glass in her hand and unhesitatingly splashed it onto Wu Wenshan!

"Damn it!!"

The cold liquid hitting his face, Wu Wenshan was both startled and furious. He stood up abruptly and cursed.

Wiping the wine off his face, he reached out toward Sheng Xiangsi.

"Where did this little bitch come from!"

'Bang!'

The crisp sound of glass shattering was heard as Sheng Xiangsi swung the glass, breaking it.

Glass shards scattered all over the floor, and she still held the base of the glass.

With red eyes, Sheng Xiangsi pointed the broken glass at Wu Wenshan, "Don't come near me!"

"Xiangsi!"

Sensing the danger, Ren Ce stepped forward, trying to grab her.

"Don't come near! No one come near!"

At this moment, Sheng Xiangsi was in no state for anyone to approach.

Holding the broken glass, she pointed it at anyone who came close!

"Ha!"

Wu Wenshan laughed maniacally, "I've seen it all today! I want to see what you can do to me!"

"No, don't come near…"

Sheng Xiangsi's eyes were bloodshot, shaking her head repeatedly. Holding the broken glass tightly, her fingers pierced by the jagged edges, blood flowing freely.

"I will come near!"

Wu Wenshan took two large steps and suddenly grabbed Sheng Xiangsi's wrist, "What now, little girl?"

"…" Sheng Xiangsi's vision blurred, about to faint.

"Tsk, interesting."

In the originally quiet space, an abrupt laugh sounded.

Everyone immediately turned to look in that direction.

In a row of sofas against the wall, a tall figure stood up leisurely.

"President Fu?"

"President Fu…"

Everyone present, including Wu Wenshan, changed their expressions, plastering smiles on their faces. "President Fu, sorry to disturb you?"

Tonight was a preparation meeting for the new film.

And the production company for this film was Dongyu Media, a subsidiary of the Fu Corporation. It made sense for Fu Hanjing to be there.

He was there to make an appearance.

The specific matters were naturally left to the producers.

So, he found a corner seat, intending to stay for a bit before leaving, but unexpectedly, he witnessed a good show in that short time.

Fu Hanjing walked over with long strides, not even glancing at Wu Wenshan, his eyes fixed on Sheng Xiangsi.

His expression was complex.

What could he say?

Just a few days without seeing her, and she had gotten herself into this mess?

Sheng Xiangsi looked at him approaching, her mind blank, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

She opened her mouth, her breathing rapid: "…"

"Sigh."

Fu Hanjing sighed dramatically, holding his forehead, "Feeling a bit dizzy, I need to go."

"Alright." Wu Wenshan responded immediately, "President Fu, take care, I'll see you out…"

"No need."

Fu Hanjing waved his hand, pointing at Sheng Xiangsi, "She can see me out."

This…

Everyone instantly understood. So, Fu Erye had his eyes on her?

What else was there to say?

Wu Wenshan didn't hesitate, pointing at Sheng Xiangsi, "Didn't you hear what President Fu said? Hurry over!"

Even Bai Yuanzhou couldn't intervene at this moment.

With the trouble Sheng Xiangsi caused tonight, if she angered Fu Hanjing, she wouldn't just be unable to work in the entertainment industry; she'd have a hard time living in Jiangcheng.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Fu Hanjing glanced at the dumbstruck Sheng Xiangsi, raising his hand to grab her wrist—the bleeding one.

"Let's go!"

He dragged Sheng Xiangsi out of the private room.

Behind them, Ren Ce was sweating profusely, "Director Bai, will Xiangsi be okay?"

Bai Yuanzhou hadn't expected any of this tonight either, frowning and shaking his head, "Hard to say, but at least it's Fu Erye. That's better than…"

…better than Wu Wenshan, right?

Ren Ce felt immense guilt. Xiangsi had been brought into the industry by him; he hoped nothing bad would happen to her.

…

Only when they reached downstairs did Fu Hanjing release Sheng Xiangsi's hand.

Along the way, Sheng Xiangsi didn't struggle, gradually calming down.

"You…"

Fu Hanjing suddenly turned, pointing at her.

"You got kicked out of a perfectly good dance troupe! What are you doing here? Do you even know what the entertainment industry is like?"

God knows how angry he was!

If he hadn't been there tonight, things would have ended badly. Wu Wenshan had plenty of ways to get a woman!

Sheng Xiangsi lowered her head, saying nothing.

She was grateful he had stepped in to save her, but she had nothing to explain to him. The situation was exactly as he saw it.

Fu Hanjing wanted to scold her more, but his gaze fell on her bleeding hand.

His chest tightened, "Why can't you just give me some peace of mind?"

He stepped forward, trying to check her wound.

"Is it serious? Let me see…"

But Sheng Xiangsi didn't let him see, pulling away.

"…" Fu Hanjing paused, his face darkening, "Won't let me see? You think I want to bother with you? Fine, I won't!"

If he cared about her again, he'd be a fool!

He turned to leave.

But after a few steps, he came back, his tone softening, "Sorry, I shouldn't have been so harsh."

She was already frightened enough earlier.

Pointing at her hand, he tried to coax her, "You need to see a doctor, understand?"
