Chapter 410: Chapter 410: The Abruptly Ended Video

Fu Han felt her face flush with redness. She coughed awkwardly a couple of times and said somewhat unnaturally, "Who said I was asking about your matters? I did not."

He Xing laughed out loud, his mood inexplicably lifted. He quickly followed Fu Han’s lead and changed his tune, "Alright, alright, you were not asking about me. How are you feeling now?"

His words were exceptionally gentle, and as he spoke, the wind outside seemed to soften as well, and the roaring wind wasn’t as harsh anymore.

Fu Han clearly heard her own heart start pounding furiously. Damn it, she was still angry with He Xing, but why did her heart rate increase at just a casual word from him?

She began to sulk without reason, not at someone else, but at herself for not even being able to stay purely angry; the sight of He Xing seemed to dispel half of her anger.

He Xing’s voice continued, "Xiaohan, I heard from Bai Wei that you dreamed I turned into a vampire and sucked all your blood, right? Don’t be scared. Dreams are the opposite of reality, I would never do such a thing to you."

Although it went against everything Su Cheng had been taught since childhood to eavesdrop, he couldn’t keep his thoughts from controlling his ears, and he found himself unavoidably listening in on Fu Han and He Xing’s conversation.

Now upon hearing this, Su Cheng’s mind immediately flashed back to the first time he had come to the hospital to see Fu Han.

He remembered walking in to find Fu Han propped up against her pillow, half-reclining on the hospital bed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, lips firmly pressed together, and big tear drops falling from the corners of her eyes, clear and shiny like pearls.

That day Su Cheng quickly realized that Fu Han was having a nightmare, and it took several calls to wake her up, but when he asked her about the dream, she didn’t say a word.

The corners of Su Cheng’s mouth strained to curve upwards, ultimately only revealing a mocking smile. It turns out that nothing had changed from beginning to end. The only one who could make Fu Han feel sad and upset was He Xing alone.

Fu Han was also feeling miserable, mainly due to the extreme embarrassment.

These past few days Bai Wei had been nearly incessant in "pestering" Fu Han to chat, always asking questions about this and that, but how much was there to talk about?

Initially, it was almost always Bai Wei who found various topics to talk about with Fu Han, but later on, Fu Han felt embarrassed and thought she should be more enthusiastic and outgoing, so she occasionally brought up topics herself.

Had He Xing not brought it up just now, Fu Han would have almost forgotten about that terrible dream she had, but now that she learned He Xing knew about it, the fear the dream had induced was gone, replaced by anger at Bai Wei for sharing a matter between two girls with He Xing.

Fu Han’s gaze turned icy, her face darkened, "That’s nonsense from Bai Wei. It’s not true; you believe it?"

He Xing was momentarily taken aback. He certainly couldn’t say he had overheard talking about the dream while holding Bai Wei’s phone, right? It was again a moment to choose between a "frienemy" and himself.

Without a moment’s hesitation, He Xing immediately made his choice, "Fu Han, don’t be angry, perhaps Bai Wei was just making stuff up out of boredom."

The expressions of the four other people in Fu Han’s ward, besides Fu Han herself, turned complex upon hearing this news. These were people who had promised not to reveal He Xing’s secret, and now they were witnessing He Xing blatantly lying. How could they not even blink?

One person blinking is one thing, but having four people simultaneously looking troubled, even if Fu Han was not particularly perceptive, she couldn’t have ignored it. And after all, she had been paying attention to everyone’s reaction since picking up He Xing’s call.

She coughed and asked with a mix of guilt and confusion, "Uncle, what’s the matter with you all? Are your eyes twitching?"

Yet before Fu Xingbo and the others could respond, He Xing’s slightly panicked voice had already sounded, "Fu Han, who is by your side?"

Even though Fu Han was feeling embarrassed, she still honestly replied, "Uncle, aunt, Su Cheng, and Ji Liangchuan are all here."

Even through a phone, Fu Han could clearly see He Xing’s complexion change. He coughed awkwardly and said, "I just remembered I have some unfinished business, I’ll video call you next time," and without waiting for Fu Han to respond, He Xing hung up the video call.

Fu Han, staring at the now darkened phone screen, looked around in confusion, not understanding what had just happened. It was Bai Qian who answered the video call; logically, He Xing should have known there were people around her.

But now was not the time to consider these things. In fact, the video call ending was actually a relief for Fu Han; at least she didn’t have to feel shameless in front of everyone while listening to He Xing say things that made her blush and heart race.

Fu Han was about to stuff her phone back underneath the pillow when she got a new message alert. She opened it to find it was from He Xing.

The message’s content was simple: "Next time you video call me, make sure to tell me beforehand who’s around you."

A wave of unnamed rage rose in Fu Han’s heart. She was already in a bad mood, and now she felt an unspeakable sense of grievance swelling in her heart. It was He Xing who hadn’t asked, yet now it seemed like it was her failure to tell?

Fu Han had the urge to block He Xing again, but before doing so, she wanted to fiercely rebuke him. However, with so many people currently in her ward, she really wasn’t in the mood or had the energy to drag out a battle with He Xing.

...

He Group, Chairman’s Office.

A few years ago, this office was the most dreaded by everyone at He Group, bar none; later, when He Xing joined the company, the old Chairman happily began his retirement life, and the office’s daunting presence gradually lessened.

In the past few years, the office staff at He Group came to fear most was He Xing’s general manager’s office.

But during this period, He Xing had been injured, and He Group had failed in several tender projects. Minor project failures were one thing, but failing in a multi-billion project that He Group was keen on winning had made the He Family staff worried.

What was most critical was that at the same time as the failure of the tender projects, He Xing was involved in a car accident. Media reports suggested that the car accident was deliberately orchestrated to prevent He Xing from attending the tender project on the day of the accident.

Although the core members of the He Group knew that He Xing’s car accident was purely coincidental, this didn’t stop the gossip journalists from spreading rumors, and apparently, the online support for this theory was also very high.

The point of this matter was to knock He Xing off his pedestal; for the average employees, He Xing was like a myth – with him, they could do anything. But this event proved that He Xing was not truly omnipotent.
