155 Ending in This Way

Sigh.

Fu Hanjiang sighed deeply, walked over, and helped her up, using his fingers to wipe away her tears.

He glanced at her rounded shoulder, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Sit for a while, I'll get you some clothes."

He got up and went to the closet.

After a while, he stood in the closet and asked, "Which side of the closet has your clothes?"

Receiving no response, Fu Hanjiang casually picked out a piece, recalling seeing her wear it before. As soon as he stepped out,

With a crash, he saw Sheng Xiangsi falling face-first to the ground!

"Xiangsi!"

Fu Hanjiang's heart skipped a beat. In a few strides, he reached her and scooped her up.

His brows furrowed deeply, "What's wrong? How did you fall?"

Could it be—he couldn't believe it, "You jumped down yourself?!"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't look at him, nor did she respond.

But what else was there to understand? She did it herself!

"Ha!"

Fu Hanjiang's anger surged from the soles of his feet, and he gripped her shoulders, wanting to crush her!

"Why did you jump down? To chase after Zhong Pei?"

"..." Sheng Xiangsi's eyes were red and swollen, tears still streaming, her tightly pursed lips trembling slightly.

The man was infuriated.

"Why chase him? Don't forget, he is with his mother!"

Fu Hanjiang, truly exasperated by her lack of backbone, said, "Madam Zhong harmed you so much, you think you two still have a chance? Are you naive enough to think love is just between two people?"

Liao Qingru loathed her to such an extent, able to harm her once, and would certainly do it again!

"And what about you?"

Sheng Xiangsi looked up, her face full of tears, "What does this have to do with you? Why did you harm me?"

"I..." Fu Hanjiang was stunned.

"Answer me!"

Suddenly, Sheng Xiangsi shouted at him, "I'm asking you a question!"

"I told you! I want you!" Fu Hanjiang couldn't help but get emotional. In his haste, he blurted out, "Xiangsi, I want you!"

She had rejected him.

He had also given up before.

But he realized he couldn't let go!

After the words fell, the air suddenly became quiet.

They looked at each other, and Sheng Xiangsi seemed to have heard the biggest joke.

"Really?"

Her tears hadn't dried yet, but she chuckled, "Heh, heh..."

"You... why are you laughing?" Fu Hanjiang felt uneasy.

"Isn't it funny?"

Sheng Xiangsi blinked, suppressing the moisture in her eyes, "Then let me ask you this, why do you want me? Why do you want me?"

"I..."

Fu Hanjiang was stunned again.

He hadn't thought about that question.

"Can't answer, can you?" Sheng Xiangsi's gaze turned cold.

"It's not that..." Fu Hanjiang frowned and shook his head, "Wanting is just wanting, why does there have to be a reason?"

"So..."

Sheng Xiangsi stared at him, "Let me change the question, Fu Hanjiang, do you like me?"

"?!"

Instantly, Fu Hanjiang's back stiffened, his scalp tingling. What kind of mushy question was this?

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Sheng Xiangsi stared at him.

"I..."

"Clearly not." Sheng Xiangsi answered for him.

She looked at him, her clear eyes seemingly piercing through him.

"Yao Leyi's words are like an imperial edict to you. For her words, you are willing to do anything!"

What? Fu Hanjiang was shocked. What did Xiangsi mean by that?

She thought he was doing all this because Yao Leyi asked him to?

"It's not!" Fu Hanjiang wanted to deny and explain.

"It is!"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to hear a single word, "You are truly great! We've known each other for almost ten years, and you've hated me for almost ten years! For Yao Leyi, you actually want me? Don't you find me disgusting?"

"You...!"

Fu Hanjiang was almost furious, gripping her shoulders tightly, his breathing rougher.

"Just because of Zhong Pei? Do you like him that much?"

To the point where she would say such things to him!

"Yes!"

Sheng Xiangsi raised her chin, answering firmly, "Zhong Pei is so good, what's wrong with me liking him?"

"!"

Suddenly, Fu Hanjiang's breath caught, his heart numb for a moment.

The veins on his forehead bulged as he roared, "Shut up! Don't say another word!"

He didn't want to hear another word!

"I insist!"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't know what he was thinking and wouldn't consider it, "Zhong Pei treats me well, respects me, cherishes me, no one has ever treated me like this. I just like him! And you..."

She looked at him with hatred.

Suddenly, she used all her strength to headbutt him. Fu Hanjiang, caught off guard, was knocked to the ground!

"Haha..."

Sheng Xiangsi laughed and cried, "But it's all ruined! You ruined me! Ah..."

Right, her phone! It was in her bag!

Sheng Xiangsi's body hadn't recovered, so she could only crawl, inching towards the sofa—her bag was on the sofa.

"What are you doing?" Fu Hanjiang watched.

But Sheng Xiangsi ignored him, stubbornly crawling on the ground.

Finally, she reached up and, with effort, grabbed her bag. Luckily, the phone was in the side pocket.

With a thud, it fell to the ground.

Sheng Xiangsi was overjoyed, reaching out and slowly swiping the screen.

"Xiangsi, Sheng Xiangsi!" Fu Hanjiang squatted beside her, anxiously reminding her, "Think about Liao Qingru, you and Zhong Pei are impossible!"

But Sheng Xiangsi turned a deaf ear, stubbornly finding Zhong Pei's number and dialing.

She didn't have the strength to hold it up, so she left the phone on the ground, putting it on speaker.

Soon, a voice came through.

[Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.]

"!"

Sheng Xiangsi froze, her whole body stiffening, murmuring, "No, no..."

Then she dialed again.

Still, [Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.]

"Ugh..."

Tears could no longer be controlled.

She knew she couldn't get through!

"Ah!"

Sheng Xiangsi's head hit the floor, suppressing her sobs.

It's over, it's all over...

She originally planned to tell Zhong Pei about Junjun when he was well-rested. If he could accept Junjun, then they could try to be together...

Of course, she also considered that Zhong Pei might not accept.

She completely understood.

Then they could say a proper farewell and go their separate ways.

But she never thought they would end this way!

What would Zhong Pei think of her? He would hate her, right?

She had lived for 24 years, and Zhong Pei was the first person to like her... In the end, it ended with his hatred!

"Get up."

Fu Hanjiang reached out, forcibly lifting her from the ground and placing her on the bed. He roughly wiped away her tears.

"Stop crying, face reality. It's over between you and Zhong Pei."
