Chapter 538: Chapter 539: Rehearsing in Advance

Fu Han’s habit was to power off her cell phone at night when sleeping, but out of fear that someone might not be able to reach her in case of an emergency, she uncharacteristically left her phone on.

That night was excruciating for Fu Han; she forced herself to try to sleep but couldn’t. Tossing and turning in bed, she just couldn’t fall asleep.

Fu Han didn’t know when she finally dozed off, but as soon as she heard footsteps in the living room in the early morning, her eyes snapped open.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a large swath of bright spots on the pristine floor, dazzling like diamonds.

Without looking, she knew it was going to be a beautiful day.

Thinking about her tasks for the day brightened Fu Han’s mood a bit. Seeing it was already past eight, she thought it was better to get up since she couldn’t sleep anyway. A shower and a bit of tidying up would make the time pass quickly.

The noise earlier turned out to be Wang Yixuan getting up. After becoming pregnant, Nan Qing became incredibly picky about food, and she suffered severe morning sickness. Therefore, Wang Yixuan was extremely accommodating to her.

Now, Nan Qing had a craving for Crab Dumplings, insisting on going to a particular place that was at least a half-hour away by taxi.

If it were Fu Han, she would have flatly refused, unable to imagine traveling so far just for breakfast; but Wang Yixuan didn’t seem to mind. He put on a hat and a mask, grabbed the thermos, and headed out the door.

For a moment, only Fu Han and Nan Qing were left in the house. By that time, Fu Han had taken a shower and was blow-drying her hair.

Dressed in a clumsy bear-like loungewear, Nan Qing shuffled over. She leaned against Fu Han’s door, hemming and hawing as she watched her, almost as if the words "I have something to say" were written on her face.

At first, Fu Han purposefully ignored Nan Qing, wanting to see what she would do for fun, but ultimately, her soft heart prevailed, and she couldn’t help but speak first a few minutes later, "All right, what do you need my help with?"

"I..." Nan Qing twiddled her fingers and said in a low voice, blushing, "That is, Fu Han, this is my first time bringing a boyfriend home, and I don’t have any experience. Can you... Can you tell me what I should do?"

"Is that what you’re worried about?" Fu Han chuckled, tilting her head and pondering for a bit, then said with some difficulty, "Nan Qing, although I really want to help you, I honestly don’t have any experience in this regard."

That was indeed the truth; Fu Han’s parents had left the world early, and Old Master He was her guardian, who was also He Xing’s biological grandfather. She and He Xing didn’t have the usual couple concerns; the grandfather was dreaming of them being together and would never object to anything they did, not wanting to be the one to break up a loving couple.

Nan Qing realized this as well, her already flushed face turning an even brighter red, "This... But who has the experience? I... I’m really scared that my parents will get angry."

"Bai Wei," said Fu Han as she applied makeup in front of the mirror, speaking quickly, "Bai Wei took Luo Qinghe to M Country for Christmas and New Year’s Day, and they haven’t returned yet. I think she has experience; you could ask her."

"Uh..." Nan Qing’s face stiffened, and she turned her head away, murmuring, "But... because of Luo Qinghe, my relationship with Bai Wei isn’t good."

That comment brought back memories for Fu Han of when Luo Qinghe had such a strong liking for Nan Qing.

That’s how feelings work, when you really, really like someone, if you can’t be together, or if you are together but it doesn’t work out in the end, you definitely can’t be friends. Seeing each other would only remind you of those unpleasant memories.

Fu Han felt that she and He Xing were in such a scenario; either they would be together properly or never interact again. There was certainly no middle ground for them.

But now wasn’t the time to ponder these issues. Fu Han remembered how Nan Qing and Wang Yixuan were invited to the Fu Family for Christmas. She had never seen Nan Qing speak to Luo Qinghe, and even when Nan Qing occasionally spoke to Bai Wei, it was with utmost politeness, with no superfluous chat.

Thinking it over, Fu Han felt that consulting Bai Wei about this issue really wasn’t appropriate. Drawing upon her own perspective as an onlooker, she concluded with difficulty, "Well... Nan Qing, I think, above all, it depends on the two of you. If both of you are resolute, your parents will come around even if they initially object; after all, we’re not living in old times anymore, and arranged marriages are a thing of the past."

"I know that," said Nan Qing, her face showing even more hesitance. She stamped her foot as if making up her mind, "The main problem is... previously, Su Cheng had spoken badly of Wang Yixuan in front of my parents. They have a poor impression of him, and I didn’t dare tell them I was traveling with Wang Yixuan."

As Fu Han used an eyebrow pencil, she paused in surprise upon hearing this, "So the issue now is, you not only traveled with Wang Yixuan behind your parents’ backs but also, you two have a love child from going about things in such a secretive way?"

Her words made the already quiet room even quieter, Nan Qing’s face turning redder as if it would explode, her pleading and hopeful gaze becoming more pronounced.

Fu Han twisted the eyebrow pencil absentmindedly, her mind racing with thoughts. At last, she spoke cautiously, "Nan Qing, untangling this knot requires the one who tied it. I think when you bring Wang Yixuan home today, you two should brace yourselves for your parents’ initial reluctance."

"I’m aware of that," Nan Qing nodded eagerly.

Fu Han smiled and continued, "Also, you should find an opportunity to talk with your parents alone, admit your mistakes candidly, and then express your feelings for Wang Yixuan. Clearly state your resolve that he’s the only one for you. That way, even if your parents can’t accept it in their hearts, they won’t be completely opposed to your relationship."

"You’re right," Nan Qing nodded vigorously as if pounding garlic, "My parents are actually easy to talk to. Once they realize Wang Yixuan is an outstanding person, they will surely like him."

Fu Han, seeing Nan Qing’s blindly optimistic attitude and her immersion in her own fantasies, felt the need to give her one more precautionary word of advice.

She cleared her throat hesitantly, "Nan Qing, I think you should also consider another issue... What if... I mean, what if your parents suggest that Wang Yixuan join Nangong Group and you both learn to manage the company? What will you do?"

"I..." Nan Qing’s face paled instantly, her expression filled with confusion, "I don’t know."
