The Best Thing is Never Getting it Forever

"How could that be?" Fu Hanjiang was puzzled. "Why would you think like that?"

Yao Leyi smiled immediately, hiding her displeasure. "Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"

She continued, "I came to Dongyu."

Dongyu Media was a subsidiary of the Fu family, so its office was naturally located in the Fu Building.

She came today to hand over her work with her agent, reducing her workload as much as possible, stopping any ongoing projects.

Of course, she still had to complete the work she had already taken on.

"It's all settled."

Yao Leyi stood up. "I just came to say hello to you... I'm leaving now, I have work to do tonight."

"Alright." Fu Hanjiang nodded slightly. "I won't keep you then."

"Oh, by the way."

As she spoke, Yao Leyi's gaze fell on the coffee table and she pointed to the two brown paper bags on it.

"I forgot to ask, what's this?"

"This?" Fu Hanjiang also just noticed them. These should be the hawthorn balls he asked the secretary to buy.

"It's hawthorn sugar balls," he replied truthfully.

"Oh?" Yao Leyi was surprised and couldn't help but laugh. "When did you start liking these?"

"Well…" Fu Hanjiang felt embarrassed to say that he bought them to cheer up Sheng Xiangsi.

He replied vaguely, "Just for fun."

"Is it? Are they tasty?"

Yao Leyi bent down, opened one of the paper bags, picked up a hawthorn ball, and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm, they're quite tasty."

"Really?"

Fu Hanjiang furrowed his brow slightly, picking up the already opened bag. "Take this one with you."

"Is it okay?"

Yao Leyi laughed. "Isn't this yours?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fu Hanjiang laughed. "It's just a snack, why wouldn't I give it to you?"

Plus, since it was already opened and eaten, he couldn't give it to Xiangsi anymore.

"Haha."

Yao Leyi laughed heartily, taking the bag. "Just kidding, thank you. I'll take it then. Bye."

"Hmm."

As she turned away, Yao Leyi's expression suddenly changed.

Was this hawthorn ball bought for herself? She couldn't believe such nonsense!

Soon, her speculation was confirmed.

Yao Leyi took the elevator down to the first floor and happened to see the receptionist leading Sheng Xiangsi to the president's private elevator.

Her heart twisted.

The receptionist dared to do this, obviously under instructions from the president's office.

"Xiangsi!"

Sheng Xiangsi had already stepped into the elevator, but upon hearing Yao Leyi's voice, she turned around to see her.

It was her.

Sheng Xiangsi raised an eyebrow. "Is something wrong?"

"Look at you."

Yao Leyi smiled faintly. "I just wanted to say hello to you. Is there a problem?"

"In that case, I'll leave…" Sheng Xiangsi just wanted to leave quickly and didn't want to waste time talking to her.

"Are you eating?"

But before she could finish speaking, Yao Leyi interrupted her and held out the paper bag in her hand, offering it to Sheng Xiangsi.

"Hawthorn sugar balls, they're quite tasty. Want to try one?"

Sheng Xiangsi looked at her suspiciously. Why was Yao Leyi suddenly offering her food? Was it poisoned?

Even if it wasn't, she wouldn't eat it.

"No, thanks."

"You don't want to eat?"

Yao Leyi took back the paper bag, regretful. "That's a shame, they're really delicious."

Sheng Xiangsi was full of question marks. What was going on with her?

Suddenly, Yao Leyi grabbed Sheng Xiangsi's hand and lowered her voice.

"Sheng Xiangsi, can I have a few minutes of your time to talk privately?"

Seeing her mysterious look, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't imagine what she wanted to say.

"Fine."

Sheng Xiangsi looked at the receptionist nearby, who stepped aside, allowing them some privacy.

"Is it okay now? What do you want to say?"

"You still don't know, do you?" Yao Leyi still had that smile on her face.

"Know what?" Sheng Xiangsi was annoyed. Why did she always leave things half-said?

"You…" Yao Leyi paused, her expression turning unpleasant. "Vulgar! I know you're feeling very pleased with yourself now. Hanjiang arranged for you to join Gu Shaohua's dance troupe. You must think he's being very kind to you, right?"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't reply. "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Humph."

Yao Leyi snorted coldly, a hint of sarcasm at the corners of her mouth. "Have you ever thought why Hanjiang, who dislikes you so much, suddenly treats you so well?"

At her words, Sheng Xiangsi fell silent.

This question had been bothering her for a long time, and she couldn't understand it.

Did Yao Leyi know?

"Yes, I know."

As if guessing what she was thinking, Yao Leyi raised her chin slightly.

With arrogance, she said, "Listen carefully, it's because—Han Chuan, he... woke up."

What?

Sheng Xiangsi shuddered, as if she couldn't believe it. "Are you saying... really? Han Chuan, he woke up?"

"That's right," Yao Leyi said, her eyes slightly red as she mentioned it.

"Han Chuan, he woke up."

This was fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!

Sheng Xiangsi clenched her hands tightly, her eyes moist with emotion. This was truly wonderful! Han Chuan, her elder brother who used to dote on her so much, just like her own brother...

"You..."

Yao Leyi suppressed her emotions, her gaze coldly fixed on Sheng Xiangsi.

"Haven't you understood yet? Han Jiang wasn't nice to you before, and he's still not nice to you now... yet, at this moment, he's showering you with attention, making such big arrangements for your future. Why?"

Yeah, why...

"!"

Sheng Xiangsi suddenly trembled, staring into Yao Leyi's eyes.

She seemed to... understand!

The answer was about to come out!

"That's right," Yao Leyi said on her behalf. "Back then, why did Grandma make him marry you? Why did he agree? And now, what's he doing by suddenly being nice to you?"

Back then...

Sheng Xiangsi now understood.

It was because Grandma wanted to prevent Han Jiang from competing with Han Chuan for Yao Leyi, and Han Jiang himself had to let go of his feelings...

And now, Han Chuan had woken up.

So, was he going to repeat the same old tricks and use her again?

"You understand now, don't you?" Yao Leyi looked at her, with a kind of undisguised satisfaction. "To be honest, I pity you... that's why I told you all this."

She pitied her?

Sheng Xiangsi smiled faintly, speechless.

She wasn't stupid. She could see that Yao Leyi was trying to sow discord. But the premise of sowing discord was that she cared about Han Jiang.

"Although I don't like you, thank you for telling me all this."

Sheng Xiangsi pointed to the elevator door and said softly, "Are you done? Can I leave now?"

With that, she turned around and beckoned to the receptionist waiting for her in the distance.

"Excuse me, I'm ready to go."

"Okay, coming!"

"!"

Yao Leyi was stunned. Sheng Xiangsi... wasn't she angry? How could she be so calm?

As she watched the receptionist run over and enter the elevator with Sheng Xiangsi, the elevator doors slowly closed.

"No, it's impossible..."

Yao Leyi shook her head, murmuring to herself, "How could she not be angry?"

It must be an act!
