Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Powerful Resistance

Bai Wei suddenly took two large gulps and then thrust the cup into Fu Han’s hands, her look indicating a desire to say something but hesitating to do so.

Fu Han looked at Bai Wei with a slanted eye, "If you have something to say, just say it. Hemming and hawing isn’t your style."

She usually finished work late, and by this time it had already turned dark. The lights in the Fu family’s courtyard had come on, still the little colored lights they had hung up for Christmas, twinkling, giving off the impression that what’s outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the night sky.

The gardener had already hurried to clean up the snow in the yard, which was a meticulously cared-for garden, planted with all sorts of flowers and herbs in an orderly fashion, and the paths for walking were made of bluestones, imbuing a dampish feel upon first glance.

Bai Wei’s voice slowly began to resonate, "Fu Han, don’t laugh at me. Today, my parents and my uncles and aunts had a great time talking, but I have this feeling of unreality. Do you think all this could disappear in an instant?"

People, when in extreme joy, tend to feel a lack of confidence, something Fu Han understood. Furthermore, Fu Han had truly experienced how one second you could be extremely happy, and the next, extremely sorrowful.

Never rely too heavily on the happiness you believe in; this was a blood-stained truth taught to her by a wedding that ended tragically.

But Bai Wei was different; she could genuinely look forward to a beautiful happiness, one that should rightfully be cherished with utmost care.

Fu Han smiled, "What, do you need me to pinch you to tell you all this is real?"

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Bai Wei, reacting strongly, moved a couple of steps in the opposite direction from Fu Han, creating a safe distance between them: "Fu Han, I’m being very serious with you, don’t change the subject."

Fu Han also dropped her smile, speaking earnestly, "Alright, alright, I won’t joke. Let me tell you seriously, if you’ve decided to be with Luo Qinghe for the rest of your life, then what happened today is real."

"Of course, I want to be with Luo Qinghe forever; he’s my first love, and he will be my last," Bai Wei said with a look of determination across her beautiful face.

Fu Han smiled, like a quietly blooming lotus flower by a lakeside: "Since you already have your answer in your heart, then you shouldn’t think about anything else. Just work hard to be with Luo Qinghe, that’s enough."

Right as her words settled, a heavy snow suddenly began to flutter outside the window, falling down in a flurry; it looked like a rain of flower petals under the light of streetlamps.

Bai Wei stared out of the window at the heavy snowfall, lost in thought for a few minutes without uttering a word.

Just as Fu Han thought Bai Wei wouldn’t speak again, Bai Wei suddenly spoke up, "Fu Han, I heard that you and He Xing have made up. Have you figured it out this time?"

Fu Han’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she asked in confusion, "Figured out what?"

Bai Wei smiled, a smile that tried to appear more relaxed, "I mean, Xia Ning is definitely not going to give up on He Xing. Are you prepared for her to continue causing trouble?"

"No." Fu Han smiled sweetly and playfully, "But don’t worry. After so many years of matching wits and courage with Xia Ning, I’m more resilient than you all might think."

"That’s good then." Bai Wei smiled and rested her head on the back of the sofa, "I wanted you and Su Cheng to be together in the past because being with Su Cheng meant you didn’t have to deal with all this messy stuff; but love isn’t a multiple-choice question. Since you’ve decided, just go for it, don’t worry about anything else."

Just as they were about to say more, a servant came in to report that Luo Qinghe and his party had already alighted from their car outside the courtyard gate.

Instantly, Bai Wei transformed from a lethargic state to one buzzing with energy. She sprang up agilely, and before heading out, she did not forget to instruct Fu Han, "Help me watch later and see if his parents truly like me or if they’re just pretending."

Her words succeeded in amusing Fu Han. Based on Fu Han’s limited experience watching TV dramas, there were very few mothers-in-law who truly liked their daughters-in-law, but plenty who did not.

Therefore, as long as Luo Qiluo genuinely agreed for Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe to be together, that was enough; the rest wasn’t important, given that they wouldn’t be living together after getting married.

In mere moments, Luo Qinghe’s family of three had come in, with Luo Qiluo leading the way. She was wearing a down coat that reached her ankles, and judging by how she was bundled up from head to toe, Fu Han had the impression of having recognized the wrong person.

Although Fu Han hadn’t seen Luo Qiluo very often, every time she did, Luo Qiluo had been all dressed up, never like this with a knitted hat and down coat.

Bai Qian had heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. Seeing Luo Qiluo, she smiled kindly, "Qinghe’s mom, you’re dressed very appropriately for tonight. The winters in M Country are very cold, and you must wear more."

Luo Qiluo also smiled. As she unzipped her down coat, she laughed and replied, "Yes, after we woke up from our nap, we went shopping. Old Li and I both bought down coats. It’s quite cold here, but it’s truly beautiful."

Only then did Fu Han notice Li Huazhi, who was a few steps behind, also wearing a bulky down coat, very cumbersome but indeed very warm.

She smiled, actually had it not been for her trip to Antarctica, Fu Han would have also thought that winter was simply a matter of a knitted dress and a down coat; she later realized she hadn’t traveled to enough places, so she had such misconceptions.

After everyone had greeted each other, Fu Han took a polite step forward and started speaking, "Uncle Li, Aunt Luo, hello, welcome to M Country. I hope you have a pleasant holiday experience."

Oftentimes, simple words are more appropriate than long-winded speeches. When Fu Han greeted them, she was neither humble nor arrogant, her enunciation clear and voice crisp, yet without purposely raising her volume, creating a very pleasant impression.

Li Huazhi sized up Fu Han from head to toe and spoke in a gentle voice, "Fu Han, hello, long time no see. You’ve become prettier."

He hadn’t seen Fu Han the second time her face was disfigured, only after the first disfigurement, and the first reconstruction.

Fu Han smiled broadly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Li."

Luo Qiluo walked up to Fu Han and stood still. She knew about Fu Han’s second disfigurement. She scrutinized Fu Han and, turning to Bai Qian, said, "This child has also suffered. Now that her appearance has been restored and she’s found her relatives, it’s a case of a bitter journey leading to a sweet destination."

Bai Qian’s eyes reddened a bit. She took a sniff, nodded her head, and choked up, not managing to speak a word.

Luo Qiluo turned back to Fu Han and smiled, "I didn’t see you this morning, did you look at the gift I brought you? Do you like it?"
