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...
Gu Yuan was stunned, completely unexpected that she would admit it so directly. Sure enough, they were indeed together. He had been foolishly waiting for her to change her mind; how ridiculous.
Taking advantage of Gu Yuan's distraction, Fu Hange pulled away from his embrace.
"Are you with him?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
Fu Hange ran to the sofa and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water and said, slightly out of breath, "Can we both calm down?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a long time. Gu Yuan pounded his fist on the wall, while Fu Hange sat on the sofa drinking water as if she had lost her soul.
What she disliked most was Gu Yuan's temper tantrums, and today he had undoubtedly lost his temper again. She was truly fed up and exhausted. This kind of life was not what she wanted, spending every day with someone she didn't love, enduring everything about him, and still being criticized by him.
She was really tired.
About ten minutes later, Gu Yuan walked over and grabbed Fu Hange from the sofa, startling her before she could react.
"Tell me, how many times have you and that bastard cheated on me?"
"Let's not talk about this, okay?" She just didn't want to talk about it; it made her feel so tired every time she did.
Gu Yuan persisted, grabbing her and demanding, "Just this, that's what I want to know today, tell me!"
He practically yelled the last sentence.
Fu Hange removed his hand, her earlier rage completely gone, and said in a very soft voice, "I went to him to borrow money today."
"What money?"
Gu Yuan seemed almost certain, and even his tone trembled slightly when he questioned her.
“Yesterday I asked you to lend me money, but you refused, so I had no choice but to go to him.”
"Say that again?" His voice trembled, carrying a barely suppressed anger.
Fu Hange repeated to him again, "I told him that I went to see Fu Chengyi today, and he said he would lend me money."
After hearing this, Gu Yuan felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the world had been turned upside down. He didn't even know where he was.
She actually went to him, and when he chose not to help her, she went to Fu Chengyi!
He tried to suppress the sob in his voice and slowly asked, "You really trust him that much?"
So much so that the life and death of the entire group could be entrusted to Fu Chengyi.
To his surprise, Fu Hange bluntly told him, "Yes, I trust him. At least he has never lied to me. I'm asking you for such a small favor, and you won't even do it. So I'm desperate and have no choice but to ask him for help."
Fu Hange forced back the dryness in her eyes and swallowed all her grievances.
Gu Yuan grabbed her face, pinched her chin, and forced her to look at him. "Did I say I wouldn't help you?"
He just wanted to keep her by his side and keep her calm. He was afraid that if he helped her right away, he wouldn't have a chance to spend time with her. He originally wanted to get back together with her after he finished this busy period, but all of that had now vanished.
Fu Hange was being held by him, and her words were somewhat indistinct: "Even if you want to help me, you haven't really taken any action. The Xu family can't be delayed, and I can't wait like this."
"Shut up!" He shoved her away.
But he didn't use too much force; Fu Hange was just thrown onto the sofa, her whole body falling into the softness.
She said irritably, "What's wrong with you now?"
Gu Yuan simply found her unreasonable. What did she mean by saying he was crazy? She was the one who borrowed money from others behind his back. Wasn't this a blatant slap in his face?
