Chapter 651: Chapter 652: Nothing’s Wrong But Uncomfortable

He Xing saw the tension on Fu Han’s face ease a bit, and he quickly pressed on, "Xiaohan, we grew up together, our friendship is incomparable, just like how I didn’t doubt you today when I saw you with Su Cheng, I hope you would have no doubts seeing me with other girls."

This sentence sounded fine at first listen, but Fu Han felt particularly uncomfortable hearing it.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her intuition told her to argue back, but at that moment her brain seemed to freeze, unable to find the words to refute.

He Xing spoke again, "Fu Han, I know there have been some issues between you and Xia Ning, but she really got hurt this time, I’ve confirmed it, so please don’t be too prejudiced against her, okay?"

His tone was very gentle as he finished speaking, treating Fu Han as if she was a child.

Fu Han suppressed the irritation in her heart and said as calmly as possible, "Don’t treat me like a child. I’ve grown up, I can make my own judgments when it comes to issues."

Before He Xing could respond, Xia Ning unexpectedly appeared, thinking she was a patient because of her hospital attire. Everyone subconsciously blocked her path, allowing her to easily "squeeze" between He Xing and Fu Han, with her back towards He Xing.

Xia Ning abandoned her previous weepy demeanor, standing arms akimbo before He Xing, she stared down Fu Han fiercely, "Fu Han, I’ve been watching you, what right do you have to talk about He Xing? Isn’t it just because He Xing likes you? You selfish person, always thinking of yourself, you don’t deserve He Xing’s affection."

Truthfully, if this had happened five or six years ago, Fu Han would have been very angry hearing this, but today, looking at Xia Ning’s face so close, she just felt Xia Ning was truly pitiable.

Wearing an innocent and cute mask for so long, do you really start to think you’re innocent and cute? What a joke!

And what Xia Ning said, is that different from the melodramatic prime-time soap operas? No substance and brainless, especially like an old lady’s foot-binding cloth, stinky and long!

Her agitated heart suddenly calmed down, she stood there majestically, looking at Xia Ning expressionlessly. She indeed wanted to see how far Xia Ning would pretend to be the innocent damsel.

"Alright, Xia Ning, stop talking. This is between Fu Han and me, it’s none of your business," He Xing sighed, trying to pull Xia Ning away from them.

But Xia Ning seemed determined to stay between them, she turned to look at He Xing and said righteously, "He Xing, don’t be afraid, I will protect you. I know Fu Han always misunderstands that you like me, but I just like you, and I have the right to like someone, let Fu Han misunderstand if she will."

After a pause, Xia Ning continued indignantly, "Also, Fu Han is really hypocritical, she hangs out with boys all day long, yet she restricts you from befriending other girls, that’s just too much, He Xing, won’t you do something about her?"

Su Cheng, who had been silently holding back, finally couldn’t refrain from speaking after hearing this, "He Xing, may I say something?"

He Xing’s face passed a fleeting chill, and the temperature around them dropped suddenly, he fixated a blank stare on Su Cheng, "Of course."

Could he have refused? Of course not, especially since Su Cheng’s request was not excessive, and he had always been very polite.

"Thank you." Su Cheng nodded, looking at Fu Han and then saying to He Xing, "He Xing, I’m worried there’s some misunderstanding between you and Fu Han, so I think I should explain; today, I was going to the Photography Company to deal with some matters, hence the meeting with Fu Han; I invited Fu Han to have breakfast which she declined, saying she needed to find you, but her car’s gas tank was broken, and it was difficult to hail a taxi today, which is why she reluctantly agreed to let me bring her here. It was all my own doing, and Fu Han had nothing to do with it."

He Xing’s complexion turned rather unsightly, but he still spoke in a calm voice, "I understand."

"That’s good." Su Cheng nodded, his gaze shifting from Fu Han to He Xing with a complex expression, he said, "He Xing, my feelings for Fu Han are no less than Xia Ning’s for you, but why can I speak up to stop the quarrel for both of your sakes, yet Xia Ning cannot?"

Though He Xing’s face remained dark, there was a noticeable improvement from before, his piercing gaze fell on Xia Ning, contemplative.

Under such scrutiny, Xia Ning’s face turned very uncomfortable, clearly resentful, looking like she wanted to speak but seemed at a loss for words.

Fu Han, standing silently to the side, had a face as complex as her feelings. She was touched by Su Cheng’s staunch support at such a moment, but also deeply disappointed with He Xing’s behavior.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly where He Xing had gone wrong, even though He Xing never openly reciprocated Xia Ning’s feelings; yet emotions are strange, your feelings will always overpower reason, and how you feel is always clearer than what you see and hear.

The four of them maintained their previous positions, with Xia Ning standing obliquely between Fu Han and He Xing, and Su Cheng stood slightly behind Fu Han, like a knight protecting a princess.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xia Ning was the first to retreat. She rubbed her temples, looked pitifully at He Xing, "He Xing, my head hurts so much, could you please take me back?"

He Xing’s expression changed immediately, showing concern; yet, he looked to Fu Han as if seeking her opinion.

Without a glance at He Xing, Fu Han turned her head and walked towards the elevator. When she passed Xia Ning, she couldn’t help but bump into her with her shoulder.

Before she even entered the elevator, she heard Xia Ning’s affected cry, "Ow, Fu Han, why did you bump into me?"

As Fu Han turned around in the elevator, she saw Xia Ning limp as if boneless, attempting to crawl into He Xing’s embrace.

While pushing Xia Ning away, He Xing looked anxiously at Fu Han inside the elevator, "Xiaohan, wait for me downstairs, I’ll be right there."

No sooner had he finished, the elevator doors closed, cutting off his view.

In the last instant before the doors shut, not only did He Xing see Fu Han’s cold face, but he also saw Su Cheng inside the elevator, looking at Fu Han with a deep, tender gaze that filled He Xing with a jealousy that seeped into his bones.
