Fu Hange was somewhat surprised and suddenly asked, "What are the conditions?"
"I want you to stay with me for these three days. I know your heart isn't with me, but please give me a chance. Experience how good I am to you these three days, and then you can think it over, okay?"
Fu Hange was suddenly startled. If she had to spend three days alone with Fu Chengyi, wouldn't Gu Yuan kill her if he found out?
Fu Hange frowned, unsure of what to say.
"Is it okay?" Fu Chengyi asked her again.
Fu Hange asked anxiously, "If I agree to your request, will you let Mingheng go?"
Fu Chengyi rubbed his fingertips together and replied calmly, "Actually, this whole plan was orchestrated by my father. I was just the one who released the information so that the outside world would know that Mingheng is no longer capable of anything."
Fu Hange asked somewhat guiltily, "So, are you determined to force me to be with you?"
"I just want you to get to know me. If you don't feel anything for me by then, I will also persuade my father to withdraw the acquisition of Mingheng."
Fu Hange was shocked. An acquisition! That would be the death of Gu Yuan! She only realized now that stealing Mingheng's clients was just a prelude to their acquisition of Mingheng.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. You just need to accept my kindness during this process," Fu Chengyi reiterated, his voice extremely humble.
Fu Hange's eyes darted around anxiously, her heart filled with unease. Then she asked, "Do I need to stay with you tonight too?"
This is what she fears most. It would be fine if she could spend three days with Fu Chengyi without Gu Yuan knowing, but she absolutely could not bring herself to stay with Fu Chengyi at night.
Fu Chengyi thought for a moment, then slowly said, "You should go back to his house tonight, so he doesn't find out."
For some reason, Fu Hange suddenly felt like crying after hearing those words. In fact, it was obvious that the three days she spent with Fu Chengyi were just an excuse he made up to help her. He had every opportunity to take her for himself, but he didn't.
He remained silently watching over her from behind.
Fu Hange suppressed the bitterness in her heart and managed to say with almost unbearable difficulty, "Thank you..."
"If I were him, and I had a girl who was willing to do anything for me, I would cherish her."
These words left Fu Hange speechless for a long time, lost in thought.
Ultimately, she owed Fu Chengyi too much, and now there's another thing to add. These debts are the hardest to repay, because whoever gives more will lose the most completely.
Undeniably, Fu Chengyi lost from the very beginning, suffering a complete defeat.
Fu Hange forgot how she got home that day; she only felt a deep, indescribable bitterness in her heart.
If only Gu Yuan could care for her as much as Fu Chengyi did, but he is who he is, and that's impossible.
——
When she got home, it wasn't dark yet, and Gu Yuan hadn't returned. He must be overwhelmed with worry about Mingheng. As his wife, there was nothing she could do but go to Fu Chengyi.
The housekeeper prepared a meal for her early in the morning, and Fu Hange ate it and went to bed.
She had been exhausted every day for so long, so today she simply collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, a pair of large hands gently wrapped around Fu Hange's waist and held her tightly in their arms.
That was the embrace she knew best, warm and comforting. Yes.
