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…” Fu Hange was a little embarrassed.
Fu Chengyi smiled and gently patted her shoulder. "Alright, I'll help you figure out how to get the money. I'm just curious why you didn't go to him."
The "he" here refers to Gu Yuan.
Fu Hange tightened her grip on the cup. "I've asked him, but he won't lend it to me."
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you," Fu Chengyi comforted her.
Fu Hange looked at him with slightly red eyes, "But where do you get so much money? You are only the heir of Chenyuan now, and you haven't officially taken charge of the family yet."
Fu Chengyi affectionately ruffled Fu Hange's hair, his face full of smiles, "You don't need to worry about that, just wait for my money."
"Won't your father disagree?"
Fu Cheng replied gently, "No, he won't interfere with me."
Fu Hange didn't seem at ease. The injection of funds involved was at least a million dollars. How could Fu Chengyi make the decision on his own?
She was about to ask him something when Fu Chengyi interrupted her, "But I've done you such a big favor, how do you plan to repay me?"
"Huh?" She stared at him blankly.
The two stared at each other, Fu Chengyi's clear, unadulterated eyes piercing right through Fu Hange's heart.
Fu Hange looked away, her gaze slightly avoiding his eyes. "How about I treat you to dinner?"
Fu Cheng squinted, "Why didn't you cook for me?"
Upon hearing this, both of them burst into laughter.
Her cooking skills were, to put it mildly, worse than begging him for help from Madam Xu.
Fu Chengyi gradually withdrew his smile, walked over and grasped Fu Hange's shoulder, his tone somewhat formal, "If he treats you badly, remember that I'm here for you."
Fu Hange was caught off guard by the scene, and her smile froze. "What are you talking about?"
“I know you understand.” Fu Chengyi looked at her.
Indeed, she knew what he meant, but she simply ignored his love.
She gently pushed Fu Chengyi away, lowered her head and whispered, "It's late, I have to go back."
"I send you."
Fu Hange immediately stopped her: "No need, I'll just take a taxi."
Fu Chengyi frowned, his attitude firm: "How can that be? It's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone at night. Don't say anything more, just grab your things and come with me."
"But......"
Fu Chengyi grabbed her hand. "If you refuse again, I won't agree to what you want."
This sentence struck Fu Hange's weakest point. She knew she needed Fu Chengyi's funds, so she had no choice but to agree to his request.
Fu Chengyi quickly escorted her to the villa entrance. Fu Hange got out of the car, and he followed her out.
"Go back now, thank you for today."
"No need, you should get some rest."
After saying that, Fu Hange waved to him and then turned and walked inside.
The villa was as dark as a stagnant pool, without a single ray of light.
As soon as Fu Hange stepped inside, she was pressed against the wall. Before she could even react, she was held tightly in someone's arms, unable to move at all.
"What are you doing?" she roared angrily.
"You still have the nerve to argue with me? Who was that man who brought you back just now?" Gu Yuan's voice drowned out hers.
Fu Hange tried to push him away, but he pinned her against the wall, making it impossible for her to move.
She tried to stomp on him, shouting, "Let me go!"
"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not letting you go," he roared.
As if she had been pushed to the limit, Fu Hange blurted out, "Yes, as you saw, that person just now was Fu Chengyi. How about that? Are you satisfied now?"
