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...
"I'm not leaving." She's such a spoiled child.
"Do you believe I have a way to bankrupt the Xu family right now?"
"You!" The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.
Gu Yuan brushed a strand of hair from her side and tucked it behind her head: "If you don't believe me, hurry up and pack your things."
Was he forcing her? The man in front of her was becoming more and more terrifying to her.
Fu Hange went into the room she used to live in, packed the few changes of clothes she had brought, and came out with her suitcase.
Saying goodbye to Grandma Zhang: "Grandma, I'm leaving now, but I'll come to see you when I have time."
"Now that you're gone, I'll be all alone again." Her voice was choked with emotion.
Fu Hange also felt it was cruel to leave a seventy-year-old woman alone in the countryside; it was truly pitiful. Besides, she had treated her like her own daughter, yet she was about to leave her.
"I will come back to see you..."
After a thousand words, Fu Hange could only utter these few words in the end, because saying more would be pointless.
Gu Yuan glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. It'll take several hours to get back from here. If you don't want anything serious to happen, hurry up and come with me."
Fu Hange got into the car after hearing Gu Yuan's instructions, while Fu Chengyi remained where he was. She knew he had a car, so getting back shouldn't be difficult.
Fu Hange waved to Granny Zhang: "Goodbye, Granny. I'll come back to see you."
Goodbye... may you have a safe journey...
In a daze, she seemed to see a tearful old man waving goodbye through the car window. This was an emotion she had never experienced before, a feeling of reluctance to part.
Unable to hold back any longer, tears streamed down her face like a raging river, soaking her sleeves and collar.
Gu Yuan couldn't stand it: "Shut up!"
He's changed a lot. On the eve of her departure, Gu Yuan wasn't like this. Sure enough, Bai Xin's presence made all the difference; he completely transformed into the kind of person she hated.
Fu Hange retorted sarcastically, "You've almost been reborn."
Gu Yuanwei retorted angrily, "What are you saying?"
"Nothing, I just didn't know how things are going between you and your assistant lately?"
Gu Yuan's lips curled up: "You still have the nerve to lecture me? You and Fu Chengyi must have had a great time these past two months in the countryside, right?"
Fu Hange shot him a sharp glare: "What do you mean?"
"You should understand what I mean." He added, "By the way, go back and get me a checkup as soon as possible, or someone else's child will be asking me to raise it."
Fu Hange was furious. Was this a suspicion that she was pregnant with Fu Chengyi's child? She was utterly amazed by Gu Yuan's imagination. But it was for the best; it saved her the trouble of explaining her relationship with Fu Chengyi again.
She took the opportunity to provoke him: "Yeah, so you'd better divorce me as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even know if I get you a child someday."
After saying that, Gu Yuan's eyes were clearly filled with anger, and his face was ashen.
Fu Hange guessed that if he hadn't been driving, he probably would have beaten her to death, or even thrown her out of the car. But seeing how angry he was, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Let me tell you, you want a divorce? No way! I'm going to keep you by my side for the rest of your life, so you can't go out and find another man!"
Fu Hange sneered: "Fine, let's give it a try."
Gu Yuan's face darkened as he said, word by word, "You are challenging my bottom line."
Fu Hange continued to provoke him, outwardly nonchalant: "Yeah, what can you do to me?"
