A polymath synth artist defies her parents' plans by casting a scarlet fingernail into a nest of mummified womb-senators.
Upon its removal, the urn erupts, seven scaly impure miners surge...
Startled, she quickly stood up and stammered, "I brought you something."
Gu Yuan glanced at the bowl of mung bean soup, which had become pitifully cold, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Was he going to give it away and not leave? Was he waiting to be dealt with?
Seeing that Gu Yuan still had a cold face, Fu Hange assumed that he disliked her entering her room, so she made an excuse to leave: "Um, I put the things here for you, remember to drink them."
She tried to run away after saying that, but Gu Yuan's lips curled up, and he grabbed her back with a quick movement, planting a sudden kiss on her lips. Because of the force, Fu Hange bumped into the table, and the poor bowl of mung bean soup shattered with the impact. The crisp sound echoed throughout the room, but the two of them seemed not to hear it. Gu Yuan picked her up and carried her to the bedside.
The night was filled with ambiguity.
When Fu Hange woke up the next day, Gu Yuan was already gone, and there was only a pitiful white pillow on the side of the bed. Her mouth was very dry, so she got up and poured herself a glass of water. Sun Yuxian had arrived early and, seeing Fu Hange get out of bed, immediately said, "Madam, you're awake. Would you like something to eat?"
That's a really weird question. She just got up and the first thing she asked was if she needed to eat. She asked, "What time is it?"
One o'clock in the afternoon.
"......"
That was the truth; she had to admit that she had slept with her. While smoothing her hair with one hand, she said, "Just do whatever you're good at; I won't be picky about your skills."
Sun Yuxian responded and hurried off to cook.
Fu Hange was still in her pajamas, her hair disheveled. She couldn't help but chuckle at the memory of that pitiful bowl of mung bean soup from last night. It seemed that everything was getting better for her and Gu Yuan. She liked this situation. Even though being trapped here was so boring, at least he was kind to her, and she was content.
"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Sun Yuxian waved his hand in front of her.
Fu Hange snapped out of her daze: "It's nothing. Let's not go out this afternoon. Help me finish drawing the design drafts."
"What design draft?"
Obviously, she didn't know, so Fu Hange explained it to her, and Sun Yuxian nodded as if she understood: "So this is the task that President Gu gave you?"
It seemed she still didn't quite understand. Fu Hange nodded perfunctorily, "I guess so, but I need someone to help me come up with ideas, so you're the best candidate."
Sun Yuxian suddenly felt a heavy responsibility and patted his chest and said boldly, "No problem. Since it is Madam's order, I will definitely do it well." Fu Hange looked at the girl in front of her with some emotion. At such a young age, she lived such a carefree life, but Gu Yuan hired her to be a fire-starting girl. The price may have been quite high, but life must have been a bit hard for her to come here.
In a moment of madness, she said to Sun Yuxian, "Once this matter is resolved, you can go home. I will give you some money, and from now on you won't have to live such a tiring life anymore."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yuxian was shocked, her face filled with grievance: "Does Madam think I haven't done well? Please don't make me leave. If you think I haven't done well, I can change..."
These words clearly stung her. Fu Hange didn't know why she said such a thing. Perhaps she was associating it with Jiang Xiaoling. Seeing Sun Yuxian's face full of tears, she couldn't help but soften her heart: "That's not what I meant. I just think it's too tiring for you to run around here and there every day, so I want to give you money so you can live a better life."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yuxian became even more upset, tears streaming down her face: "Does Madam think that having money makes you great? I thought you were different from others, but I didn't expect you to still like to measure people by their money."
