Chapter 607: Chapter 608 Try to Satisfy

Fu Han had a great time at lunch, proving that as long as the atmosphere was harmonious, there was no need to feel awkward.

Although Mr. Nangong and Wang Yixuan spoke less, Nan Qing and Mrs. Nangong were constantly livening up the atmosphere. Their efforts were not about deliberately cueing Fu Han but maintaining a good balance, which made her feel very comfortable.

The chefs at the Nangong residence indeed had excellent skills. Fu Han had enjoyed a lot of coconut chicken last time, and today she still ate with relish.

Home-cooked meals indeed tasted better than restaurant food. While the initial taste of restaurant dishes might seem good, it tended to become cloying after a while.

As everyone ate and chatted, Fu Han unconsciously finished a small bowl of rice and then filled her bowl with soup, sipping it slowly as the doctor had advised her to drink more soup for her health.

Perhaps to take Fu Han’s feelings into account, Nan Qing and Mrs. Nangong sat on either side of her, sharing a long couch between the three of them.

Meanwhile, Mr. Nangong and Wang Yixuan each sat on their own armchairs.

Fu Han couldn’t help but feel that it might be her misconception, but she sensed Wang Yixuan’s gaze often resting on her, as if he had something to say but hesitated.

He Xing had accompanied Wang Yixuan to buy breakfast in the morning and promised to persuade Wang Yixuan about something. Fu Han didn’t know the outcome of their conversation because that morning... she was so filled with girlish joy that she entirely forgot to ask He Xing.

While eating, Fu Han observed Wang Yixuan and thought he acted a bit strangely today. Although he did serve Nan Qing, his manner contained a sense of distance, a stark contrast to their initial close relationship after going public in the United States.

She couldn’t help but speculate in her heart, perhaps He Xing had not succeeded in persuading Wang Yixuan?

However, observing Nan Qing’s behavior from a detached perspective, Nan Qing maintained her role as the ever-cheerful one, occasionally cracking witty remarks that caused everyone to burst into laughter. She would also casually pat Wang Yixuan’s arm.

Although Wang Yixuan rarely responded to Nan Qing, Fu Han didn’t notice any signs of him avoiding her either.

She silently resolved to ask He Xing about their talk once he returned. If he hadn’t persuaded Wang Yixuan, she would feel even more apologetic towards Nan Qing.

Finally, the lengthy lunch concluded, and caregivers immediately came to clear the leftover food and dishes from the table.

It was Mr. and Mrs. Nangong’s habit to go for a walk after meals, and the couple excused themselves before heading out directly.

Once they left, Fu Han felt like an obvious third wheel, as if she were glowing like a gigantic light bulb. She playfully dusted off non-existent dirt from her clothes and feigned a yawn, exaggeratingly saying, "You two carry on talking. I’m going to take a nap."

She walked towards the door step by step, a gentle smile gracing her beautiful face, inwardly hoping Nan Qing and Wang Yixuan would grow closer after she left.

But before she could reach the door, Wang Yixuan suddenly spoke up, "Fu Han, do you know why He Xing suddenly left?"

At his simple question, Fu Han felt her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. She managed to suppress the throbbing in her chest and responded as calmly as possible, "He said there was a family issue, but I don’t know the details. I usually don’t get involved in his family matters."

"I think it might be better for you to get involved in the future," said Wang Yixuan with clear implication.

Fu Han’s beautiful brows knitted slightly, unsure of what to say. She disliked it when people spoke in half-truths and she could sense that Wang Yixuan had more to communicate. However, a voice in her head reminded her not to probe further.

But if she refrained from asking, someone else would inevitably do so. Nan Qing naturally took Wang Yixuan’s hand and said, "Yixuan, do you know something? If you do, please tell Fu Han, so she won’t overthink it."

"I don’t know much," Wang Yixuan replied, biting his lip and looking unnaturally stern. "I just overheard He Xing talking on the phone with someone he called ’Uncle Zhou.’ He was told that Xia Guoxiong was refusing to leave the He Family home and was demanding the release of Yi Lixing."

Fu Han was aware that Yi Lixing had been taken away by the police the night before. Although she had always felt that Yi Lixing was not the mastermind, his role as an accomplice was undeniable.

This had become clear to Fu Han during her life-threatening moment—should she survive, she would never be the forgiving person she once was. For some people, your generosity only invited their further insolence.

Thus, at the instant she was rescued, she had decided: if she made it out alive, she would reveal the true mastermind and seek revenge for herself.

It seemed she had been exceptionally lucky this time; within a day, He Xing had pinpointed Yi Lixing and even managed to have him taken to the police station.

Even though Fu Han didn’t think Yi Lixing was the brains of the operation, she was nonetheless pleased by his arrest, certain it would unnerve the real culprit, who might slip up in a moment of panic.

But now, Wang Yixuan was telling her that the Xia Family wanted He Xing to release Yi Lixing.

Fu Han truly wasn’t certain that He Xing would refuse the Xia Family’s request, as he had always catered to the Xia Family’s demands, even the most unreasonable ones, as much as possible.

Nan Qing, noticing something was amiss with Fu Han, gently patted her shoulder to offer comfort, "Nobody knows what exactly happened. I think you should stop worrying about it and wait for He Xing to come back. Besides, we’re the victims here. It doesn’t matter if He Xing agrees to release Yi Lixing; it would need our consent to happen."

Fu Han couldn’t remember what Nan Qing said next, nor what she herself responded. She just vaguely made her way back to her room, her mind a jumbled mess, knowing nothing at all.

Upon returning to her room, Fu Han tried to distract herself by randomly picking up a book, yet she didn’t even realize she was holding it upside down.

When He Xing returned, this was the sight that greeted him: Fu Han sitting alone on the couch, blankly staring at the book without turning a page for a long time, the book held upside down.

"Xiaohan, what’s wrong?" He Xing immediately sensed that something was off and hurriedly rushed over, embracing Fu Han in his arms.

It took Fu Han several seconds to recognize that the person speaking was He Xing. She pushed him away, "Tell me, did you agree to release Yi Lixing?"

Expecting some serious matter, He Xing laughed out loud when he heard her question, "Who told you I agreed to release Yi Lixing? Not only did I not release him, but I also made it clear to Uncle Xia and Xia Ning that anyone who dares to bully you, I won’t spare a single one."
