Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Deep Sisterly Love

Fu Han looked helplessly at Nan Qing but soon had to admit that if she were Nan Qing, she would also want to come and take a look, after all, it was a youthful crush, years of obsession.

Yet, thinking of Wang Yixuan’s recent behavior, Fu Han felt somewhat... It was a complex emotion that was indescribable.

She looked at Nan Qing and said seriously, "But Nan Qing, I think it’s best if you explain to Wang Yixuan that it was he who entrusted me to find you."

"Really?" After receiving a positive response, Nan Qing nodded vigorously, "Okay, I understand, I’ll go and explain it to him."

The conversation should have ended there, but Fu Han thought it over and couldn’t help but speak again, "Nan Qing, I know you may not like Su Cheng, but the relationship you two have from growing up together is different; however, if you truly like Wang Yixuan, you need to consider Wang Yixuan more when you’re with Su Cheng."

Nan Qing looked intently at Fu Han and nodded firmly, "Okay, I understand, Fu Han, thank you for telling me these things."

It was a very simple exchange, but to Fu Han’s ears, it was incredibly touching. She hugged Nan Qing’s shoulders, and on Nan Qing, she could still smell the familiar scent from the past, the light fragrance of perfume mingled with the scent of shower gel and shampoo, giving a warm feeling.

Nan Qing also hugged Fu Han’s shoulders, "Fu Han, I don’t know what exactly happened between you and He Xing, but if you really broke up with He Xing, maybe... maybe you should consider Su Cheng, I’ve known him for so many years, I can tell he truly likes you."

Fu Han had never expected Nan Qing to say such a thing in this situation, the sheer surprise made her momentarily at a loss for words.

She felt her cheeks flush evidently, overwhelmed by a strong urge to avoid the topic, but still, she answered Nan Qing in a calm voice as much as possible.

"I know Su Cheng is a good person, and I know he sincerely likes me, but love is such a strange thing, that feeling cannot be forced, even if I do not end up with He Xing, I would definitely not be with Su Cheng."

Although she did not speak loudly, her words carried a resolute weight.

Under the bright lights of the courtyard, the big snow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was clearly visible, fluttering about as if fairies were tossing flowers from baskets in mid-air.

Fu Han watched the snowflakes outside, Nan Qing watched Fu Han.

After what seemed like an eternity, Nan Qing finally spoke again, "Fu Han, thank you."

After saying this, Nan Qing left without turning back.

In the large room, only Fu Han remained. She moved closer to the glass, and the sky in her view seemed even more expansive with a blue velvety backdrop hanging in the firmament, with a smattering of stars twinkling upon it.

Fu Han knew why Nan Qing was thanking her; she was doing it on behalf of Su Cheng.

In love, what’s worse than unrequited feelings is not rejecting nor accepting, denying the underdog even the right to walk away, completely reducing them to being a backup.

Nan Qing’s thanks were for Fu Han’s decisive and straightforward rejection of Su Cheng.

...

In City A, Xia Group’s Chairman’s Office.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Xia Guoxiong’s voice, hard to conceal his anger, reverberated thunderously in the spacious office.

In front of his desk stood a person, short in stature, reaching only up to Xia Guoxiong’s shoulder; the unflattering appearance of this short man was almost tailor-made for the phrase ’sly and beady-eyed’.

But despite his appearance that could be considered environmental pollution, this man was Xia Guoxiong’s right-hand man, and everyone in the Xia Group respectfully referred to him as Mr. Ji.

Under such furious wrath, Mr. Ji appeared very calm. He bent down to pick up papers scattered on the floor and slowly said, "Chairman, if I hadn’t discovered these things, who knows when you would have been informed."

Xia Group, operating as an outsourcing entity on-site, collaborated with the Huangpu Family on a big project worth three billion. However, recently, someone had reported them for regulatory violations, and the Huangpu Family had expelled all Xia Family members from the site that very day.

A few days had passed since the incident, but Xia Guoxiong hadn’t heard a single piece of news about it; just as Mr. Ji said, without his report, who knew when Xia Guoxiong would have found out.

"Where is Yi Lixing? Call him to see me immediately," demanded Xia Guoxiong, his chest heaving and face flushed red as if he might faint from cerebral congestion the next second.

"I’m afraid he cannot come to see you right now," Mr. Ji said with a grin, revealing his off-putting yellow teeth, much like his unpleasant, owl-like laughter, "These past few days, Mr. Yi has been busy rendezvousing with his lover at the Jiangshan Ruhua community, too occupied to come to the company."

"Jiangshan Ruhua?" Xia Guoxiong’s expression shifted when he heard these four words. A wild theory sprouted in his mind, closely related to his pride, but ultimately, he did not voice it.

But just because he didn’t say it didn’t mean others wouldn’t, and Mr. Ji, looking at Xia Guoxiong, said somewhat schadenfreudely, "Master, you’re not wrong to guess, his old flame is indeed your little secretary."

"What did you say?" This was not so much a question as a threat, his entire demeanor screamed, "You’d better stop talking."

Nothing hits a man harder than a blow dealt by a woman.

Not long ago, Xia Guoxiong found out his son had been fooling around with his secretary, giving him a cuckold; now to learn that his subordinate was fooling around with his secretary too, that was overwhelmingly humiliating.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ji did not seem to catch the unspoken implication in Xia Guoxiong’s words, or perhaps he did but chose not to play along.

Mr. Ji’s rough voice began to rise, "Chairman, seeing you and the young master suffer so much at the hands of Qin Nuan, I decided to investigate this woman. Guess what, she was introduced by Yi Lixing. While I did not get all the details about their past, the recent events are very clear. Qin Nuan went to the hospital for a protective procedure recently, and Yi Lixing was by her side the whole time. Yi Lixing did not just visit Qin Nuan at the hospital every day, he went to Jiangshan Ruhua to see her every day after she was discharged. What do you think their relationship could be?"

At that moment, Xia Guoxiong’s last bit of male pride was trampled underfoot. The rage in his heart was like a volcano on the brink of eruption, with molten lava churning violently, as though ready to obliterate the world.
