Still Won’t Admit You Like Him?
After a few moments of silence, Fu Hanchuan sighed helplessly. "I don't object."
Nodding, he added, "Alright, we'll do as you wish... let's get married."
"..." Yao Leyi was stunned for a moment, then tears started to overflow from her eyes.
Fu Hanchuan walked over, held her hand, and said gently, "Don't cry... I have only you, no one else."
"Really?"
"Really."
Fu Mingzhu clapped her hands and laughed. "Great! Finally, a happy occasion in the family!"
Not only Fu Mingzhu was happy, but Fu Hanjiang was also delighted.
Back at Silver Beach, he couldn't hide his excitement.
Sheng Xiangsi looked at him curiously. "You're so happy about their marriage?"
"Of course."
Fu Hanjiang nodded without hesitation. "My brother and Leyi have been childhood sweethearts. They promised each other to stay together for life since they were young."
Is that so?
Sheng Xiangsi wanted to ask, what about you? You liked Yao Leyi so much, don't you feel jealous?
Can someone really be happy just because the person they like is happy?
"What are you thinking?"
Fu Hanjiang guessed her thoughts and playfully flicked her forehead. "Still overthinking? I've told you many times, there's nothing between Leyi and me, but you just won't believe it."
Indeed, Sheng Xiangsi didn't believe it.
But now she was more confused, feeling that this wedding might not happen...
The miscarriage incident five years ago and the current suspicion of Fu Hanchuan's infidelity...
No matter how Sheng Xiangsi felt, the wedding between Fu Hanchuan and Yao Leyi was decided.
As the eldest grandson, Fu Hanchuan would definitely live in the Fu residence after the marriage, so there was no need to move. They just needed to redecorate the current room.
Moreover, for the wedding, the wedding dress, and everything else, Fu Mingzhu wanted it all to be according to Yao Leyi's preferences.
After all, the wedding was mainly for the bride, and it was most important that she was satisfied.
What surprised Sheng Xiangsi was that Yao Leyi actually posted a recruitment notice online.
She was looking for someone to design her wedding dress.
Logically, the Fu family could afford top designers, and given Yao Leyi's fame in the entertainment industry, luxury brand sponsorships were not impossible.
But she didn't want that.
She made it an open call for designs online, from which she would select her favorite.
As a result, the wedding news spread like wildfire in Jiangcheng, becoming the talk of the town.
Sheng Xiangsi felt that Yao Leyi was provoking someone.
Who? Probably that "other person" she suspected Fu Hanchuan of having outside...
At noon, Sheng Xiangsi had lunch with Bai Ran.
Bai Ran talked about the wedding. "The eldest Fu master is getting married! And it's with that person, huh?"
Since she had been to jail because of Yao Leyi, how could she not complain a bit?
"Yeah."
Bai Ran clicked her tongue. "I can only say, they deserve each other."
"Poof..." Sheng Xiangsi was amused. "Everyone has their own taste."
"Exactly." Bai Ran laughed and then told her secretly, "I also signed up for that recruitment."
Sheng Xiangsi was surprised. "The wedding dress recruitment?"
"Yeah." Bai Ran nodded with a smile. "Why are you so surprised? Don't you remember what I do?"
Oh right. Bai Ran studied fashion design, but she was a small, unknown figure in the industry.
Sheng Xiangsi was a bit worried. "Aren't you afraid she'll target you?"
"Afraid, but who cares? I have to try."
Bai Ran pouted. "It's an opportunity. What if they really like my design? Then I could become famous overnight."
"True."
Sheng Xiangsi nodded. "It's all about the design. If she targets you, you have nothing to lose."
"Exactly."
Bai Ran smiled, envious. "I must say, Yao Leyi is really lucky. The Fu family, the top family in Jiangcheng! And Fu Hanchuan... he's quite handsome."
"Mm?" Sheng Xiangsi was puzzled. "You've seen him?"
"Yes."
Bai Ran reminded her, "Last time, when you argued with the second Fu master and he came to Hexiyuan, Fu Hanchuan was there too. He even drove me home."
Recalling, she praised, "He's really handsome, gentle, and elegant!"
...
Sheng Xiangsi went to the hospital again.
This time, it was to get fertility drugs.
The doctor was also a connection through Yu Huanxi.
Still bothered by her previous failure to conceive, Sheng Xiangsi asked, "Doctor, I followed your instructions but didn't get pregnant."
"Relax."
The doctor advised, "Pregnancy can be elusive. Taking medication doesn't guarantee success."
"Yes." Sheng Xiangsi nodded. She understood the reasoning, but how could she not be anxious?
"You want more this time?"
"Yes."
Unaware of the full situation, the doctor kindly advised, "You're still young. No need to pressure yourself so much."
Also, "These drugs shouldn't be taken too often. Overuse can affect your health."
Yu Huanxi had said the same.
But Sheng Xiangsi had no choice. "I understand. Thank you for your concern."
Seeing that persuasion was futile, the doctor prescribed the medication.
"If you experience nausea or dizziness, make sure to rest."
"Got it, doctor."
That evening, when Fu Hanjiang returned to Silver Beach, Sheng Xiangsi greeted him with a smile.
"You're back."
She hugged him tightly, pressing close.
Fu Hanjiang felt this was an invitation.
With one hand supporting her soft waist and the other under her chin, he bent down and kissed her.
It was getting out of hand.
But he didn't forget to ask, "Is it alright now? Can we?"
"Mm." She nodded.
So they went upstairs...
Tonight, Sheng Xiangsi was especially passionate.
Fu Hanjiang held her, overjoyed. "What's gotten into you today?"
"What's what?" Sheng Xiangsi played dumb.
"Heh." Fu Hanjiang buried his face in her neck, chuckling. "It's been a while, huh? You missed me, right?"
Sheng Xiangsi closed her eyes, saying nothing.
"You don't have to say it. I know."
Fu Hanjiang held her tightly. "Xiangsi, you like me a little now, don't you?"
Sheng Xiangsi: ...
How did he come to this conclusion?
"I'm so happy." Fu Hanjiang continued, lost in his monologue.
Isn't it said that women are different from men? If a woman doesn't like a man, she won't initiate intimacy.
Thinking this, he laughed again. "You almost swallowed me whole just now."
Isn't that proof she likes him?
Sheng Xiangsi didn't know what he was thinking. If she did, she would have replied, "A woman can initiate intimacy even if she doesn't like the man."
For example, if she's desperate for a child.
In the bathroom, Sheng Xiangsi took the initiative again.
Fu Hanjiang's eyes flickered. Wasn't this clear proof she liked him?
The next morning, at the breakfast table.
Sheng Xiangsi peeled a boiled egg, removed the yolk, and offered it to Fu Hanjiang. He ate it, knowing she didn't like egg yolks.
After swallowing, he asked, "Not working this weekend?"
"Mm." Sheng Xiangsi nodded. The troupe was on break, so weekends were free.
"Let's go on a date."
