Chapter 60: He Might Dump You Anytime

There was no visible change in Sheng Xiangsi's expression, but inside, she was extremely uneasy.

She was really afraid... afraid that Fu Hanjiang would suddenly get angry and do something drastic!

However, nothing happened.

Fu Hanjiang seemed to have lost interest. "Sorry, Director Zhao, I've disturbed you... I have another appointment, so I'll leave first."

"Oh, alright."

Zhao Lianghan, sweating profusely, hurriedly escorted him to the door.

"Second Master Fu, take care."

"Thank you, Director Zhao, no need to see me off."

Fu Hanjiang turned abruptly and left.

With the door to the private room closed, Sheng Xiangsi let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

"Xiangsi."

Zhao Lianghan returned and pulled Sheng Xiangsi to sit down again. "Just now..."

He looked a bit embarrassed, cautiously watching her expression. "Sorry, given our relationship... you know, it's inconvenient for me to say anything."

After all, his status was special.

Even though he was currently divorced and single, any association with a dancer could still negatively affect his career.

Sheng Xiangsi... was destined to remain in the shadows.

"Mm."

Sheng Xiangsi listened and calmly nodded, showing no sign of displeasure. "I understand, no need to explain."

"That's good."

Zhao Lianghan was very pleased with her understanding and felt even more affection for her.

He was a bit excited. "Rest assured, even though this situation may be unfair to you, I will make it up to you in other ways."

He continued, "I've arranged a place for you to stay. It's being renovated, and in a while, you can move in."

This should be their future "home," the place where he would keep her in secret.

Sheng Xiangsi, understanding the situation, did not refuse. "Mm, whatever you arrange is fine."

"And..."

Zhao Lianghan continued, "Originally, I wanted to give some money to your family, but..."

He had just learned that she no longer had any family.

"In that case," Zhao Lianghan said, "the money will be yours. Without family, you should take better care of yourself. Whether you save it or use it for a small business, it's up to you..."

"Director Zhao..."

Listening to this, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but get teary-eyed and choked up.

She had planned to ask him for money after everything was settled...

But she didn't expect that he had already prepared it.

Even though their relationship was transactional and he was her benefactor, he had given her a lifeline when she needed it most!

Thinking of her child far away in Philadelphia, Sheng Xiangsi bit her lip. For the sake of the child... it was worth it.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Lianghan watched as the girl before him began to cry.

He quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her. "Why are you crying?"

"Director Zhao," Sheng Xiangsi choked, shaking her head, "thank you... thank you."

Zhao Lianghan smiled and used the tissue to wipe her tears. "Why thank me? It's what I should do. In the future, don't say such things, it makes us seem distant, understand?"

"Mm." Sheng Xiangsi tried hard to hold back her tears, nodded, and smiled. "Understood."

...

That evening, Sheng Xiangsi still returned to West Twelfth Street.

According to Zhao Lianghan's plan, they would move in together after the house was renovated, giving Sheng Xiangsi enough time to accept the situation.

Therefore, her gratitude towards Zhao Lianghan deepened.

Zhao Lianghan drove her to the entrance of Wenchang Road, and she walked the rest of the way home by herself.

Entering the alley, a tall figure leaned against the wall, features hidden in shadow, making his expression unclear.

Only his cold and mocking voice could be heard, "Back already? Your boyfriend brought you home?"

It was Fu Hanjiang!

He was not here with good intentions!

Sheng Xiangsi frowned and instinctively took a step back.

Seeing her movement, Fu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed sharply. "Sheng Xiangsi, are you avoiding me?"

When he was angry, he could be quite intimidating.

Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to argue with him and asked as gently as possible, "Do you need something?"

"Need something? You're asking me?"

Fu Hanjiang took two steps forward, moving from the shadows into the light. His impeccably handsome face showed signs of rising anger.

He grabbed Sheng Xiangsi's left hand and lifted it high. "What is this, huh? Answer me!"

He was referring to the ring Zhao Lianghan had given her.

Sheng Xiangsi frowned and tried to break free. "It's none of your business!"

"None of my business?" Fu Hanjiang laughed angrily. "Have you forgotten that you're still my wife?"

The ring on her hand became more and more annoying to Fu Hanjiang, and he grabbed her hand, pulling the ring off forcefully.

"Take it off immediately! You're not allowed to wear it!"

"Let go!" Sheng Xiangsi struggled, refusing to let him have his way.

But how could she compete with Fu Hanjiang?

"Ah!"

Fu Hanjiang successfully removed the ring and, with a high arc, tossed it towards the roadside.

"Let's see you wear it now! I dare you to wear it!"

"No!"

Sheng Xiangsi screamed, watching helplessly as he threw the ring away.

"Fu Hanjiang!"

Sheng Xiangsi felt like she was going mad, her eyes glaring at the man with rage. "What right do you have to throw away my ring? Are you crazy? I'm not your wife!"

Her clear eyes stared at him unblinkingly, almost gritting her teeth.

"We've been separated for four years, and we don't have a real marriage anymore! We're not husband and wife!"

"You..."

Fu Hanjiang was stunned, his anger growing.

She was so angry because he threw her ring?

He squinted his eyes. "So, you're looking for a husband now? That Zhao Lianghan? Ha! Ridiculous!"

He said coldly, "He didn't even dare say who you are in front of me! And you expect him to marry you? Don't be delusional!"

"I know he can't!" Sheng Xiangsi raised her chin, fearless.

"You know?"

Fu Hanjiang was stunned, unable to believe it. "You know and still stay with him? Sheng Xiangsi, are you crazy? You're young, and you're becoming someone's mistress?"

"So what if I'm a mistress?" Sheng Xiangsi looked at him in confusion.

"So what?"

Fu Hanjiang was stunned. "If he doesn't marry you, you'll never have security! He might dump you anytime! You fool!"

"If he marries me, will I have security?"

Sheng Xiangsi laughed as she spoke.

Her mocking gaze fell on the man. "Don't joke, Second Master Fu. I've been married. And the result? Did I have security?"

"!" Hearing this, Fu Hanjiang was stunned, unable to speak.

Sheng Xiangsi continued, "I was newly married for less than two months, and my husband rarely came home! After that, I was sent abroad and left there for four years! So, tell me, Second Master Fu, where is the security in your so-called marriage, huh?"

She raised her voice, questioning him.

Fu Hanjiang's lips parted, but he was silent.

Under the light, his face appeared grayish-blue.

It was him... it was all his doing!

Fu Hanjiang clenched his teeth and growled, "Isn't that your own fault? Can you blame me?"

"Hah, hahaha."

Sheng Xiangsi laughed coldly. "Yeah, you're right. If I'm so detestable to you, why do you care about me?"
