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...
When Fu Hange woke up the next day, she found herself covered with a blanket again. She stared at everything around her in disbelief. Her clothes were all intact, but there was a blanket, just like last time.
Could it be that he really came back?
There was no reason for it; he would have woken her up if he came back. But apart from that, Fu Hange couldn't find any other explanation.
——
Gu Yuan only went to Mingheng today to explain a few things.
As she was leaving, Bai Xin chased after her and asked, "Mr. Gu, where are you going? Let me go with you."
He said coldly, "No need, you can go back."
Bai Xin seemed to be calling after him, but it was no use. Gu Yuan had already driven away, so she had no choice but to stomp her feet and walk back.
At this stop, Gu Yuan went far away.
Because he hadn't made an appointment, the security guard at the entrance stopped him. Fu Chengyi happened to be passing by and let him through. Gu Yuan felt incredibly humiliated; to be stopped like this in public, especially as the president of a listed company, and reduced to having Fu Chengyi clear the way for him—he couldn't swallow this insult.
As soon as he entered, Fu Chengyi greeted him politely: "President Gu, please have a seat."
In the reception room, Gu Yuan sat opposite him, staring at him with sharp eyes, as if trying to expose Fu Chengyi.
He spoke first, getting straight to the point: "What have you and Fu Hange been doing in the countryside these past few days?"
Fu Chengyi picked up his coffee and took a sip: "What does President Gu hope to hear?"
“I want to hear the truth,” he said coldly.
After a while, Fu Chengyi finished his coffee and put the cup back, saying nonchalantly, "To be honest, that's exactly what President Gu saw."
Since he already knows and has guessed what's going on, why bother asking him?
Gu Yuan sat there with his legs crossed, looking relaxed, but in reality, every nerve in his body was tense.
He said slowly, "What do you think of her?"
Fu Cheng chuckled, his expression captivating: "What does President Gu hope I will think of her?"
"Don't try to beat around the bush. Believe me or not, I'll turn your company upside down right now!"
Fu Chengyi remained completely calm, interlacing his fingers and raising an eyebrow, saying, "Since President Gu already knows the answer, why ask me? I never answer these pointless questions."
He acquiesced!
Gu Yuan seemed furious, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, her gaze fierce like a sharp weapon piercing Fu Chengyi's heart.
"Do you even know she's my wife?!" he practically roared.
Fu Chengyi was stunned. His wife? He had no idea that Fu Hange had married Fu Chengyi! So the man she had been thinking about all these days was actually her husband?
It's ridiculous that he was kept in the dark the whole time, and even thought he and she had a chance.
How ridiculous!
It was as if fate had played a cruel joke on him.
But on the surface, he tried his best to appear indifferent. He said slowly, "I know, but don't forget, you were the one who rejected her, you were the one who hurt her, and you were the one who mistakenly thought she was the one who did the plagiarism."
Fu Chengyi strode over, his cold eyes closing in on him, and said, "Do you know that she didn't do that at all? Someone deliberately framed her. But what about you? Have you heard her explanation?"
“I gave her a chance to explain, but she refused to,” he roared.
Fu Chengyi was so angry that he gripped Gu Yuan's collar tightly: "How is she supposed to explain this to someone who doesn't trust her at all?"
