"Hah! Hahaha…"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Sheng Xiangsi burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears came out, and she couldn't stop.
"Sheng Xiangsi!"
"You're absolutely right!"
Sheng Xiangsi kept laughing, her eyes lively and without a trace of anger; she genuinely found it funny.
"Years have passed, and I haven't changed. Neither have you."
Just like back then, no matter what happened, you would always stand on Yao Leyi's side without question or hesitation!
Sheng Xiangsi sighed quietly to herself. Do you know where her notorious reputation as a "bad woman" came from?
It came from this!
He only saw her throwing a tantrum and being "rude," but he never asked why she did those things!
But time has passed, and things are different now.
Things she used to care about before the years passed don't matter to her anymore.
Having laughed enough, Sheng Xiangsi lazily said, "I'm sorry, but I'll never apologize. Ever. Aren't you here, Fu Erye?"
She smiled at Fu Hanjiang, "You're Yao Leyi's loyal lapdog. You're so pathetic; you'll definitely make her happy, just like before."
"Sheng Xiangsi!"
Amid the man's furious roar, Sheng Xiangsi suddenly raised her hand and swept everything off the table onto the floor with one motion!
"Ah!" Yao Leyi jumped up in shock.
"Sheng. Xiang. Si!" Fu Hanjiang was so angry his head hurt, veins bulging on his forehead as he pronounced each word.
"I'm right here."
Sheng Xiangsi looked up, glaring at Fu Hanjiang, a light smile on her lips. "Let me up the ante! Soothe your precious one well!"
You want to go crazy? Who doesn't know how? Let's all have a bad time then!
After saying that, she turned expressionlessly and walked out.
"Hanjiang..." Yao Leyi was a bit frightened, "Are you okay?"
Fu Hanjiang stood there, exuding a suffocatingly cold aura.
"Hanjiang." Yao Leyi thought for a moment and pushed him, "This is my fault; I caused your fight. Maybe you should go after her. She doesn't have a car; she won't have gone far."
"No way!"
Fu Hanjiang gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around. Chase her? Look at this mess; what has she done?
The vinegar he ran two streets to buy for her was also spilled on the ground...
No matter how good he was to her, what did it matter? She was just an ungrateful little wretch!
She called him pathetic?
Yes, he was pathetic! Pathetic for treating her so well!
...
After leaving Yintan, Sheng Xiangsi calmed down on the bus.
She had to admit she had acted impulsively.
Those two were disgusting, but was this the first day she knew that? For Junjun's sake, she should have endured it.
But she didn't.
One thing Fu Hanjiang didn't get wrong: old habits die hard. Her nature hadn't changed.
When faced with a situation, she still got anxious, which was a far cry from Yao Leyi.
A miscalculation.
What now?
Could this be the end with Fu Hanjiang?
It would be easy for him to find another shield, but her tool must be him.
Did it mean she'd have to go back, apologize, and ask for his forgiveness?
Closing her eyes, she leaned back.
What's done is done; she wouldn't think about it now. She wasn't in the mood to "serve" him today anyway.
Back in the city, she first returned to He Xiyuan.
Junjun hadn't seen her mother for several days and was so happy she chattered nonstop, "Mommy, Mommy!"
"Yes, yes."
Sheng Xiangsi responded, not feeling annoyed at all. Every time her daughter called, she answered.
All morning, wherever she went, Junjun followed, even to the bathroom.
"Mommy."
Sheng Xiangsi was inside, and Junjun was sitting on a little stool outside the door.
"Why are you taking so long?"
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but laugh. How could she explain it was because her daughter's presence gave her a bit of stage fright?
"Junjun, be good. Go play with Nanny Xu for a while. Mommy will be out soon."
"Okay, Mommy."
After having lunch with her clingy little Junjun and putting her to sleep, Sheng Xiangsi left He Xiyuan and went to the dance troupe.
At the end of the staff passageway at the troupe, she saw Bai Ran.
She wasn't alone. Beside her was that man from last time... Si Zhengze? That seemed to be his name.
"Say what you need to say quickly," Bai Ran turned her head, coldly. "I'm at work. Please hurry."
"What kind of attitude is that?"
Si Zhengze wasn't a good-tempered person either, frowning with impatience, "If you hadn't blocked me, do you think I'd want to come find you?"
"Hmph." Bai Ran sneered, "If you're so unwilling, then don't come!"
"You..."
Si Zhengze paused, pointing a finger at Bai Ran, "I'm not going to waste words with you! I'm here to tell you that this weekend, come home for dinner!"
The Si family had a monthly gathering, and no one was allowed to miss it.
Bai Ran smirked. He still cared about appearances?
"Did you hear me?" Si Zhengze didn't stay long after speaking. "Also, unblock me immediately!"
With that, he turned and left.
Sheng Xiangsi watched from a distance, unable to hear their conversation, and then went into the changing room.
Soon, Bai Ran returned, clutching her stomach and looking a bit pale, obviously uncomfortable.
"Ranran, what's wrong?" Sheng Xiangsi quickly helped her sit down, seeing her holding her stomach, and guessed.
"Is it that time?"
"Mm." Bai Ran nodded.
"Wait a minute." Sheng Xiangsi hurriedly said, "I have some brown sugar ginger tea in my locker. I'll make you a cup."
"Okay, thanks."
"You're welcome. No need to be so polite."
Soon, Sheng Xiangsi returned with a cup, handing it to Bai Ran, "Drink this while it's hot. It'll make you feel better. I also have painkillers if you need them."
"No need for now." Bai Ran smiled and shook her head, "It's not that bad."
She was mainly upset by Si Zhengze earlier.
"Alright. If it gets worse, let me know."
"Okay." Bai Ran smiled and nodded, "You're well-prepared."
"Yeah. Because every time it comes, it's like a disaster..."
Wait!
Sheng Xiangsi suddenly froze.
Why hadn't her period come this month? She took out her phone and opened the calendar. She wasn't mistaken... It was already a week late!
Could it be!
Her heart started to race. Could it really be what she hoped for?
Calm down, calm down!
She'd know after a trip to the pharmacy.
The performance was in the evening. Taking advantage of practice time, Sheng Xiangsi went to a nearby pharmacy.
She bought what she needed and returned to the dance troupe, locking herself in a bathroom stall.
She carefully read the instructions on the pregnancy test, then followed the steps one by one.
Closing her eyes, she crossed her fingers, silently praying.
"Please, please."
Heavenly Father, please let it be two lines. Then she wouldn't have to go back and see Fu Hanjiang's face again!
Five minutes passed.
Sheng Xiangsi opened her eyes, held her breath, and picked up the pregnancy test.
One look...
