Beg Me to Remarry
Chapter 335: Pre-planned Travel

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Pre-planned Travel

Back when she was overseas, if Nan Qing dressed in a short-sleeved top with overalls, she would certainly be mistaken for a high-school student; even now, wearing a beautifully crafted bridesmaid dress, she always exudes a kind of naivete, as if she’s just stepping into society.

Fu Han felt that there was a rare, innate purity about Nan Qing, the kind that comes from being well-protected by one’s parents, having grown up in a privileged environment, untainted by worldly affairs.

Fu Han hadn’t realized it before, but after what happened today, she found herself envying Nan Qing a bit.

Feeling Fu Han’s gaze, Nan Qing suddenly turned around, and their eyes met in space, prompting simultaneous smiles from both girls.

Their laughter seemed to thaw something frozen, as if some connection had been reestablished.

Nan Qing looked at Fu Han for two seconds, her smile apologetic, "Fu Han, you’re not feeling well right now, I should be by your side, but... I had already made plans with Wang Yixuan a while ago, I want to travel, to see the world outside and further improve my painting skills."

"That’s wonderful," Fu Han felt not the slightest discomfort in her heart, smiling sincerely, "I would love to travel too, and maybe when I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll come find you, just hoping you won’t find me a nuisance then."

"A nuisance?" Nan Qing’s face flushed completely, and she hastily waved her hands in denial, "Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing going on between Wang Yixuan and me, it’s just that we both happen to paint, and we both want to travel the world to see and paint, so we decided to accompany each other."

Fu Han smiled, but then remembered the bandages on her face and that Nan Qing couldn’t see her smile.

After thinking it over, she spoke seriously, "Nan Qing, maybe some of the things I said about Wang Yixuan before might have given you a biased impression of him, but actually, he’s a very good person, loyal to his friends, never giving up on things he firmly believes in, opinionated and capable, if..."

However, before she could finish, Nan Qing interrupted her, her face somewhat flushed but still mustering the courage to say, "Fu Han, my fixation on Su Cheng is like your fixation on He Xing, would it be alright if that person were not He Xing?"

Had it been before today, Fu Han would have said it wasn’t okay without hesitation.

But so many things had happened today, her wedding was ruined, she herself almost violated, not that she wanted to blame it all on He Xing, but Xia Ning’s actions towards her were indeed connected to him.

Today, she was hurt, her face may never heal again, but for her, the biggest change was that the beliefs she had always held in her heart, or the faith within her, had collapsed. It’s no exaggeration to say that she even envied the courage with which Nan Qing had unhesitatingly spoken those words just now.

She closed her eyes slightly, as if speaking to Nan Qing as well as to her own heart, "I don’t know, Nan Qing, seeing something through to the bitter end is cool, but if we hit a wall, we could also consider turning back to look around."

Nan Qing didn’t respond to Fu Han’s words, her gaze showing resistance, yet also being moved.

If someone else had said what Fu Han said, she would have immediately retorted without hesitation, but it was Fu Han, and suddenly she found herself at a loss for words.

Who knows how much time passed, when Fu Han spoke again, "Nan Qing, you’re going out to travel, when do you leave?"

"Tonight!" Nan Qing’s voice still carried a sense of guilt, "I had originally asked Wang Yixuan to check for flights, but now it’s the peak travel season, and no changes to the flight can be made."

Fu Han nodded, "I know if it wasn’t for my wedding, or perhaps what Su Cheng said to you, you would have already left. Thank you for staying with me until now."

Nan Qing’s eyes filled with tears, she hugged Fu Han and sobbed as if her heart was breaking, "Fu Han, I’m sorry, these days have been like years for me, I can’t stay here any longer, everything here is painful. Fu Han, if anything happens, you must tell me, understand?"

...

Xia Family villa.

Xia Guoxiong sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his face angry as he glared at Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, "How could I have children as useless as you two? When people do bad things they don’t leave evidence, but you, you seem to want the whole world to know your guilt."

"Dad..." Xia Ning called softly in a low voice, pleading quietly, "My brother and I know we were wrong, you must help us, if even you don’t take care of us, what will we do?"

Xia Cheng hurriedly chimed in, "That’s right, dad, I didn’t mean to leave evidence, they just came too quickly, and we were unprepared."

"What can I do? I’ve already knelt down to He Xing, and they still went ahead and called the police, didn’t they? You two just wait for prison," Xia Guoxiong was furious and threw his coffee cup to the ground. Amidst the clattering sounds, the brown coffee splattered on Xia Ning’s pale pink Cheongsam, making it incredibly conspicuous and filthy.

Xia Ning frowned, wanting to complain, but Xia Cheng touched her arm and stopped her just in time.

After stopping Xia Ning, Xia Cheng shamelessly moved closer to Xia Guoxiong, "Dad, you absolutely can’t ignore me, if we really go to prison, what will we do later? Who will be there to take care of you in your old age?"

"If I count on you for support, I might as well hang myself with a rope," Xia Guoxiong said, his face alternating between white and red, looking like a cooked pig liver.

The Xia family’s vast living room fell silent, with the outside already in darkness while inside was as bright as day.

Suddenly, a cat’s meow rang out. Xia Ning’s cat strolled out from the kitchen at a leisurely pace, its long tail swaying behind, one of its front paws touching its mouth as it walked.

This white cat had a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes, more exquisite than any fine jade, but when the cat fixed its gaze on you, you would feel there was something eerily... sinister about those eyes.

On seeing Xia Ning, the cat gave a "meow" and trotted over to her.

Strangely enough, most of the time, the cat didn’t get along well with Xia Ning, but occasionally, it would show affection to her, as it did just now.

But at this moment, Xia Ning was extremely irritated, and when the cat approached, she kicked it away, "Get lost!"

"Meow!" The cat rolled on the ground, then stood up with its back arched and tail raised, ready to attack Xia Ning.

Xia Ning looked on, even more annoyed, and gave the cat another kick, this time with more force than before, sending it flying two meters and eliciting a piercing screech from the animal.

After several seconds, the cat managed to stand up. It looked at Xia Ning and the others from a distance, not attempting to approach them again and instead turned and fled back to the kitchen.
