Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Temporary Return Home

"Okay, Uncle, I got it," Fu Han nodded obediently, her beautiful face less worried and warmer.

Although Fu Xingbo had not said anything particularly helpful, Fu Han still felt her heart calm down significantly, as if confronting He Xing in person was not that difficult.

She had not told everyone the reason she suddenly decided to return to her home country, partly because she was afraid they would think she was making a big deal out of nothing. A simple phone call could have clarified everything, yet she insisted on asking in person.

Now she wasn’t worried anymore. She believed that whatever she did, Uncle and the others would only support her, never mock or trouble her.

The airport announcement system had already started broadcasting, indicating that Fu Han’s flight was beginning to board.

Fu Han slowly stood up, Fu Xingbo patted her shoulder and took her carry-on bag, then led her toward the Boarding Gate.

Her decision to return home was made on the spur of the moment, so she had only packed a few things, which Fu Xingbo had stored for her before coming to the airport.

Looking at Fu Xingbo’s retreating back, Fu Han felt how wonderful it was to have someone to rely on, to be a little girl who didn’t have to grow up.

At the Boarding Gate, Fu Xingbo stopped and opened his arms wide. Fu Han immediately threw herself into his embrace, resting her head on his shoulder.

Fu Xingbo gently tapped her shoulder and cooed like he was soothing a child, "Be safe on your way, and call Uncle if anything happens back home... Take care of yourself, and once I’ve sorted things out here, we will come back as well."

Fu Han nodded obediently, her heart warm; at that moment, she felt that, no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she wouldn’t be afraid because she knew she had family to lean on, she wasn’t alone.

A flight attendant came by to remind everyone to switch their phones to airplane mode. Fu Han took out her phone to power it off but suddenly noticed an email notification, she hurriedly opened it and then switched her phone to airplane mode.

The airplane slowly ascended, getting further from the ground and closer to the sky, but since it was night, there was nothing but darkness above.

Still, Fu Han pressed her eyes against the windowpane, gazing out eagerly. She loved the moment the plane took off, as if breaking free from gravity, soaring against the wind, her mood seeming to lift with the rising aircraft.

Once the plane was cruising smoothly, Fu Han turned her gaze back from the window, ready to read the email that Fu Xingbo had sent earlier.

"Xiaohan, after you went through customs, Uncle’s secretary called and told me some things. I think I need to inform you.

"On the day you and Uncle came to M Country, He Xing actually went to the airport to send you off. But, due to the heavy fog and his rush to get there, he had a car accident on the way."

At this point, Fu Han’s heart began to race. She thought back to her emotions that day; though she had never spoken a word about He Xing, she was deeply saddened, having not expected that He Xing would truly not come to see her off.

Now that she knew He Xing had been in an accident, guilt washed over her like a surging river, and she hurriedly continued reading.

"He Xing’s injuries weren’t severe, just excessive blood loss; by the time he was nearly well enough to be discharged, he decided to come to M Country to find you, even buying a plane ticket.

"This time, He Xing was already at the airport ready to check-in when he received a call that Grandpa He had been kidnapped. He had no choice but to go back and deal with Grandpa He’s situation.

"My men are still investigating the kidnapping of Grandpa He. Don’t worry, He Xing soon rescued Grandpa He, and after a few days of recuperation in the hospital, he has been discharged.

"However, during the rescue, He Xing was almost stabbed with a dagger. It was Xia Ning who threw herself on him at the crucial moment, shielding him with her body and saving his life."

The brief letter made Fu Han’s mood heavier. In just a few paragraphs, she learned of Grandpa He’s injury and He Xing’s injury.

All this had happened before He Xing’s visit to M Country, but he had said nothing when he came, despite the fact his stay - from landing to takeoff - lasted less than 48 hours.

Suddenly, a dull pain spread through her, as if a dagger was stirring her heart, making it difficult to breathe.

All this had happened without her knowledge, and no one had said a word to her about it.

She checked her phone; an hour earlier, she had messaged He Xing to say she was going to sleep. Until she switched her phone to airplane mode, she had not received any message from He Xing.

The decision to return home came to her on the way back from closing her shop. She felt that the video Ji Liangchuan had sent was a thorn in her heart, and she had to clear it up or she wouldn’t be able to sleep. So, on impulse, she bought a plane ticket.

It was fortunate she managed to get the last first-class ticket with less than three hours to spare before departure.

When buying the ticket, she was determined to clear up any misunderstandings, not to stew in her own resentment as before. But now, sitting on the plane, she felt grateful for her impulsive purchase.

Because it was inevitable that Fu Xingbo would tell her about the He Family, and Fu Han knew she’d be desperate to return to her country, not just for He Xing, but also to see Grandpa He.

She was raised by Grandpa He, and even without He Xing, Grandpa He would forever be her indelible concern.

But now, knowing that so much had happened in A City, she truly wanted to fly right back to He Xing’s side. She yearned to have a proper fight with him, to demand that he never hide anything from her again no matter what.

She thought for a long time, about many things, and reread Uncle’s email over and over.

Time ticked on, and it was now eleven o’clock at night in M Country. Fu Han thought of the promise she made with He Xing that morning during their video call. She asked him to sleep before eleven each night, and he made the same request of her.

Today was the first day of their agreement, and she couldn’t break it.

Fu Han asked the flight attendant for a blanket to cover herself, turned off the light above her seat, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

She told herself that there was nothing to worry about. Uncle’s email had mentioned that before He Xing came to M Country, Grandpa He had already been discharged from the hospital, and Xia Ning had been discharged a few days earlier. Everyone was out of danger.

At that moment, she felt that as long as there was no danger to life, nothing was more important than life itself.
