Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Can’t Help but Ask

He Xing slightly squinted his eyes, not wanting to answer Bai Wei’s question, he straightforwardly changed the subject, "It’s getting late, you should head back quickly, Liang Tao is waiting for you in the underground parking lot."

"You..." Bai Wei’s face flushed through, but she still mustered the courage to ask, "Didn’t you say that if I handled this problem for you, you would help me with Luo Qinghe’s parents?"

"Little girl, you’re trying to trick me too?" He Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide, a pair of bright, spirited eyes staring at Bai Wei: "Don’t try to change the topic here. I only told you how to handle the current problem, not that I would help you marry Luo Qinghe."

With her little scheme exposed, Bai Wei stomped her feet in annoyance, but she was powerless against He Xing. She could only inquire, "Then what do you suggest I do now?"

"It’s simple, break up with Luo Qinghe," He Xing said meaningfully, hands behind his head: "Girls shouldn’t be too forward in a relationship, otherwise the guy will think he can mold you like dough. By breaking up, you can test Luo Qinghe’s reaction."

"This..." Bai Wei’s beautiful face was full of hesitation: "But what if Luo Qinghe takes it seriously and really breaks up with me?"

"Then you can consider it as if you’ve wasted your youth on a dog. If it’s over, it’s over, the next one will be better." Having said that, He Xing firmly closed his lips, determined not to say another word.

Bai Wei, feeling as if she’d been played, couldn’t refute He Xing’s words despite looking at him.

...

M Country, Hospital Inpatient Department.

Fu Han woke up three hours after the surgery ended and then had to stay awake for the next three hours, no matter how sleepy she felt.

She lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by four people who had wrapped around her bed securely. She felt a bit awkward and instinctively wanted to force a smile, but realizing her cheeks were numb, she finally remembered that she had just undergone surgery.

"I can finally understand what the gorillas in the zoo feel like." Knowing they were all concerned for her, Fu Han made her tone as light as possible.

Bai Qian was amused by her comment and chuckled, "You’re a funny kid. You seem so serious normally, but you’re even cheekier than Bai Wei when you’re in the mood."

"It’s good to be playful," Fu Xingbo immediately laughed: "A kid should act like a kid."

With this exchange, the atmosphere in the ward became lively, with the two of them chatting back and forth, and occasionally Ji Liangchuan and Su Cheng would throw in a joke or two, lifting Fu Han’s spirits.

She knew her face now was tightly bandaged, no different from wearing a mask. This was the second time she had appeared like this, and oddly enough, she felt it wasn’t so bad.

When Fu Han had first woken up, the day was still bright, but now the sun was tilting westward, with orange rays shining through the gap between two tall buildings, warming her body. Despite being behind glass, it still felt like basking in the sun on a lazy winter day.

All the skyscrapers in the world seem to be the same, and the twin towers outside the window were exactly that. Similar buildings existed in A City, with one of them belonging to the He Group.

From the time Fu Han woke up until now, it seemed that no one had mentioned He Xing. At first, Fu Han was fine with that, but the more they avoided mentioning He Xing, the more she found herself thinking about him. She wondered how He Xing’s injuries were and whether he had been discharged from the hospital.

Raised to never interrupt others, Fu Han waited for a pause in the conversation to hurriedly ask, "Uncle, Aunt, how is... how is He Xing doing now?"

The ward, which had been merry, suddenly went quiet as everyone’s attention shifted to Fu Han, who once again silently thanked the bandages covering her face, hoping no one noticed her blushing.

Bai Qian had the simplest expression among everyone, purely happy; she immediately spoke, "Xiaohan, you don’t have to worry about He Xing. I video called him today, his condition has greatly improved, and he should be able to leave the hospital in a few days."

"Hmm." Fu Han hummed in response and did not pursue the conversation further. She truly wasn’t comfortable discussing He Xing with others, feeling a strange awkwardness inside.

Bai Qian’s gaze held a complexity; not only was she Fu Han’s aunt, she was also He Xing’s aunt-in-law. Deep down she hoped that Fu Han and He Xing would ultimately find clarity in their relationship. If Bai Wei hadn’t been pestering her, she would have certainly told Fu Han about He Xing chatting with her under Bai Wei’s account.

Just as the room was drowning in an awkward silence, Daisi the doctor came in. He was a very responsible physician, checking on Fu Han’s condition every hour.

After the routine examination, Daisi didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he smiled at Fu Han, "Lady Fu Han, we really have a special connection. I heard you and Mr. He Xing will soon be married, and I might be in A City when that happens. Would you mind if I attended your wedding?"

This was too much. Bai Wei hadn’t even gotten over her earlier blush, and now she felt it creeping up again. She turned her pleading gaze to Fu Xingbo, truly at a loss for how to respond.

Without needing to say much, Fu Xingbo effortlessly diverted the topic.

Fu Han breathed a sigh of relief, using the excuse of watching a movie to pass the time. She really didn’t want to continue such a boring and awkward conversation. After all, she had already asked her burning question and received a satisfying answer.

Halfway through the movie, Fu Han’s phone rang; it was a video call invitation from He Xing.

Although He Xing had messaged her every day since she arrived in M Country, he had never once sent a video call or even phoned her.

Though she hadn’t said it out loud, Fu Han harbored quite a few grievances against He Xing, and she had been pondering the future between them. She couldn’t bear carrying the weight of the Xia Family’s lifesaving grace.

"Who’s video calling?" Bai Qian, hearing the noise, came over and saw that it was He Xing. She quickly pressed the answer button and didn’t forget to mention to Fu Han, "Didn’t you just ask about He Xing a moment ago? Why aren’t you answering his video call now?"

Fu Han no longer had the chance to reply to Bai Qian’s question because He Xing’s face had already appeared on her phone screen.

A typical man’s perspective, the camera angle from below was a bit disappointing, with He Xing’s chin taking up a third of the screen, his nose a quarter.

But even with such an angle, He Xing’s looks were impossible to ignore. His pair of eyes looked exceptionally bright due to the angle, like two gems quietly resting on a still water surface, clear and distinct like a Taiji diagram.

Then He Xing’s clear voice came through, bearing an unmistakable hint of joy, "Fu Han, did you really ask about me? Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything!"
