Beg Me to Remarry
Chapter 579 - 580: Telling You the Truth

Chapter 579: Chapter 580: Telling You the Truth

"Hmm, I know you’re telling the truth." Fu Han’s lips curved into a smile, but it was one of mockery, "But, that’s not the whole truth, is it? Their main job may be to protect me, but at the same time, they’re also helping you keep an eye on me, reporting my every word and action back to you."

He Xing’s mouth struggled open, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, all he said was, "I’m sorry."

The volume of those three words was low, like snowflakes falling to the ground, creating no ripple at all.

But... but just a single snowflake can trigger an avalanche, an undeniable fact; for Fu Han right now, He Xing’s words were indeed that snowflake causing the avalanche.

The last glimmer of hope in Fu Han’s eyes vanished as she looked at He Xing with disappointment, wanting to say something yet not knowing where to start.

He Xing clearly felt Fu Han’s mood as well, reaching out to try to grasp her hand, "Xiaohan, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have ignored your feelings. I promise this won’t happen again, can we get past this?"

"No need." Fu Han slapped his hand away, speaking in an incredibly calm voice, "He Xing, since you want to know what they told me, I’ll tell you. Xia Ning came to me to enjoy the show; she’s very regretful that I wasn’t killed. Su Cheng came to visit me; he’s angry that you didn’t protect me. Now that I’ve told you everything, you can leave."

"Xiaohan..." The sorrow in He Xing’s eyes was so vast, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples to spread outward in waves, "Xiaohan, I know you and Su Cheng are good friends, and I won’t ask about what goes on between you two in the future. As for Xia Ning... Xia Ning may be a bit willful, but I believe she wouldn’t say such things, and in the future... you won’t speak such cruel words to curse yourself again."

Truthfully, having lost all hope, Fu Han found it less painful to hear such words.

She looked calmly at He Xing, even revealing a sweet smile, "You see, when you ask and I answer, you don’t believe me, so what’s the point in asking? Next time, you might as well just put a bug on me, so that without your bodyguards having to relay messages, you can know exactly what I do and say every day."

He Xing looked at Fu Han in distress, the black storms in his eyes sweeping towards himself and swiftly drowning him.

Fu Han looked at He Xing, her heart aching like a needle prick. There was a moment when she really wanted to embrace him, but she restrained herself.

Turning her head towards the window, she said expressionlessly, "I’m tired, I want to sleep, please leave."

He Xing sighed softly, murmuring, "Xiaohan, can we just talk this through, please?"

"Sure." Fu Han tilted her head, looking at He Xing with her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with unmistakable mockery, "Speak then, I’m listening."

He Xing licked his lips and bit them, trying to speak in as composed a voice as possible, "Fu Han, first of all I must clarify that I arranged for these two bodyguards to be at your side when you returned to the country. Grandfather knows about this, you can ask him."

"Alright, I’ll ask when I have the chance." Fu Han nodded, a sense of irritation rising within her, but she responded to He Xing as calmly as possible.

He Xing nodded and continued, "My main, in fact, only intention in hiring them was to take care of you. Beyond that, I had no other thoughts. If I had wanted to use them to keep tabs on you, I would have done so a long time ago, not wait until now to let you know about them."

"About that..." Fu Han’s voice rose slowly, "Just as you don’t believe my claims about Xia Ning’s curse, I also don’t fully believe what you’re telling me."

He Xing’s face grew even paler, knowing Fu Han as well as he did, he understood that no matter what he said now, it was futile. Fu Han could be stubborn, and once she got an idea into her head, no force could sway her.

He sighed again with resignation, "Alright, Fu Han, I know no amount of talking will help right now, so I won’t pressure you. I just hope you can think about this issue calmly, seriously, okay?"

The anger in Fu Han’s heart was getting uncontrollable, yet her face became even more serene, as if nothing had happened, her earlier mocking demeanor gone without a trace.

She looked at He Xing expressionlessly, her clear autumn eyes as undisturbed as a calm lake, "Fine, I’ll think about it deeply, and I hope you do the same, especially regarding your trust in me."

Right then, He Xing felt as if his heart was being scorched by flames, an agony indescribable.

He would have preferred Fu Han to lash out at him rather than treat him with the distant courtesy of a stranger. In his heart, Fu Han was the only exception, and he hoped he was the same for her.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that if anyone could break He Xing’s principles, that person would definitely be Fu Han, and, if another were to be added, it would be Grandfather; likewise, he hoped that he could also be the one to break Fu Han’s principles.

But now, it did not seem that way, and he became more and more perplexed as to why Fu Han was angry, just as he didn’t understand why she would claim that Xia Ning’s concern for her mother was false.

He Xing sighed deeply in his heart, deciding to make one more effort. With a tender smile, he said in a tone one would use to soothe a child, "Xiaohan, I know Xia Ning always gives you a hard time, you two have been like this since you were kids, always arguing upon meeting. Xia Ning may have bad motives, but even she wouldn’t wish for your death."

Seeing Fu Han’s face turning ugly, He Xing quickly spoke again, "Xiaohan, I’m not saying this to suggest you’ve lied to me or anything, it’s just that, Xia Ning might have said such words, but she probably didn’t mean them in her heart. And... and the person who hurt you yesterday has nothing to do with Xia Ning."

"How do you know there’s no connection?" Fu Han had recently asked Su Cheng to investigate whether the incident had anything to do with Xia Ning, and now He Xing had come up with a conclusion, how could she not be shocked.

He Xing rubbed Fu Han’s head affectionately since her attitude had shifted, and his mood unconsciously brightened.

Speaking gently, he said, "Xiaohan, I didn’t want to tell you this so soon, but I was afraid you would continue to misunderstand Xia Ning, so I decided to tell you ahead of time."
