Chapter 519: Chapter 519: A Sudden Change

Xia Ning asked for directions and went straight to Fu Han’s office. Along the way, no one dared to stop her, after all, the deterrent force from her recent overwhelming victory was still present.

The door to Fu Han’s office was not closed, and from outside one could see He Xing and Fu Han having a meal together, the sweet atmosphere between them creating a barrier of sorts, keeping everyone else out.

It felt like, even for someone like Xia Ning who dreamed of tearing them apart, their sweetness was too much; it was the kind of love that wanted to reach the peak, a natural and effortless sweetness.

Xia Ning had been standing at the door of the office for two minutes, but neither He Xing nor Fu Han had noticed her, even though a simple lift of their eyes would have allowed them to see Xia Ning.

Anger began to gather in Xia Ning’s heart. She raised her hand and knocked forcefully on the door, "Can you two pay attention to the influence you’re having, flaunting your affection in broad daylight, it’s a quick route to death."

He Xing and Fu Han both looked up at the same time, and when they saw Xia Ning they both frowned, as if their faces were about to spell out the words "not welcome."

Especially He Xing, who casually pulled Fu Han behind him, and asked coldly, "Xia Ning, what are you doing here?"

Originally, Fu Han felt quite upset when she saw Xia Ning, but He Xing’s actions gave her a sense of security. She purposely rested her chin on He Xing’s shoulder, ready to listen.

Xia Ning’s teeth gnashed with anger, "What am I doing? I went to the trouble of buying lunch to find you at your company, but you, you actually ran off here."

"You went to my company?" He Xing radiated a strong coldness, and even though Fu Han’s office had air conditioning, she shivered.

As the first to bear the brunt, Xia Ning suffered even more. Her face turned red with anger one moment, and the next it went pale with fear.

The anger she had worked hard to build up dissipated in an instant, and she shrank her neck, her aura suddenly weakened, "I... He Xing, I missed you, and I knew about a restaurant that had just opened with really good food, so I especially went to buy it for you and brought it over, I... I even made sure to come over at twelve, so I wouldn’t intentionally disturb your work."

He Xing’s expression softened a bit, but his voice remained chilly, "Next time you know of a good place to eat, just go by yourself. There’s no need to come find me."

The icy atmosphere in the room lifted quite a bit, Fu Han moved slightly, her chin leaving He Xing’s shoulder, and she tilted her head slightly, apparently lost in thought.

Xia Ning keenly noticed that He Xing’s attitude had softened a bit. She was never one to leave well enough alone and stomped her foot, looking especially aggrieved, "He Xing, how can you treat me this way? Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"What day?" He Xing was completely confused; he really didn’t know what day it was. All his attention was on Fu Han, worried that Fu Han was angry.

On the other side, Xia Ning’s eyes became red with grievance, "I have to go for a medical checkup this afternoon, and you don’t care about me at all. I might as well be dead."

He Xing’s gaze finally rested on Xia Ning. For the first time since she had come in, He Xing looked at Xia Ning with a kind gaze.

His tone became much gentler, "Xia Ning, Li Tao already arranged your medical checkup. You can just go to the hospital directly; there’s no need to wait."

He Xing might have forgotten about it, but Li Tao had remembered; as soon as Xia Ning mentioned it, He Xing recalled that Li Tao had mentioned it the day before while reporting on work, clearly saying that it was all arranged.

"I don’t want that." Xia Ning’s anger only grew, and her tears started to fall, "Each and every one of you only knows about work; no one really cares about me. Dad and brother also said they were busy and could not accompany me, asking me to go by myself. Now you are doing the same. If mom were still alive, would I be this pitiful?"

Fu Han couldn’t help but roll her eyes at this, swearing to heaven she really didn’t want to get involved in Xia Ning and He Xing’s conversation, but she had really had enough of Xia Ning always getting her way.

She scoffed and sat up straight, her words filled with sarcasm, "Xia Ning, every time you want to force He Xing to do something he doesn’t want to do, you use this trick. Can’t you come up with something new?"

He Xing turned to look at Fu Han, his eyes somewhat unfamiliar, as if surprised, yet also disappointed. But he hid all his emotions, and in the end, he simply turned his head away calmly.

But Fu Han started to panic inside. She suddenly realized that she didn’t understand He Xing. Even though they were so in love now, she still didn’t understand him, and she couldn’t see what was going on in his heart.

Xia Ning, who always regarded Fu Han as her number one enemy, saw Fu Han mocking her and bristled, retorting sharply, "Fu Han, do you think I want to mention my mother? You ask He Xing what kind of life I’ve had since I was a child—dad only cared about work and didn’t care about us, my brother always beat me, only my mother truly cared for me. What, now even thinking about my mother who loved me is wrong?"

Reason told Fu Han not to bite back at a mad dog, but she was truly tired of Xia Ning always using her mother to threaten He Xing.

She sternly retorted, "Yes, your mother was good to you, and of course, you can think about her. But why is it that every time you make a request to He Xing, that’s when you think of your mother? Could it be that you consider He Xing as your mother? Or is it that your mother is just a tool for you to force He Xing’s hand?"

Xia Ning felt exposed in her darkest corners by Fu Han, and turned her head away guiltily without speaking.

Fu Han was poised to launch another attack.

But He Xing spoke out unexpectedly, "Fu Han, that’s enough!"

Those simple four words, as if magical, drained the color from Fu Han’s face, while Xia Ning’s face flushed with excitement, as if she had just received a Revive Card, her vitality restored on the spot.

Fu Han stared at He Xing with wide eyes, "What... what are you saying? Do you think I’m wrong?"

"Yes, you’re wrong," He Xing said expressionlessly to Fu Han, enunciating each word, "Xia Ning’s mother died to save me, and Xia Ning herself has saved my life. It’s normal for her to make requests of me, and I shouldn’t refuse them."

Huge joy appeared on Xia Ning’s face as she excitedly looked at He Xing, "He Xing, you mean, you mean you can accompany me to the checkup?"

"Of course," He Xing stated decisively, "Not just today for your checkup, but whenever you need me in the future, just ask, and I’ll fulfill any request I can."
