บท 17: Affection for Qin Sheng
Old Master Lu noticed the way Fu Hanchuan's gaze lingered, and he contentedly took a bite of the braised pork. Ah, only Sheng Sheng had such charm, enough to captivate even his typically aloof and reserved grandson.
After dinner, with summer's dusk already settled into a warm blanket of darkness, it was time for Qin Sheng to return to the Qin family home. Old Master Lu was visibly reluctant to let her go, his frail hand clasping hers in a pitiful grip. He implored, "Sheng Sheng, you must come visit this old man often. It's too quiet living alone, with no one to keep me company."
Fu Hanchuan: "…"
What about Lu Ming? Wasn't he also a person?
"Grandpa Lu, I will," Qin Sheng reassured, her gaze drifting over to Fu Hanchuan, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
Fu Hanchuan pressed his fingers to his temples, a touch of exasperation in his voice. "Grandfather, it's getting late. Let me take Sheng Sheng home now."
With a sigh, Old Master Lu released Qin Sheng's hand. He watched as the car drove away, a wistful sigh escaping his lips.
He muttered to himself, "Ah, the grandson now has a wife and no longer cares for his old grandfather. When they grow up, they don't listen to their elders."
Though his words were filled with complaints about Fu Hanchuan, his eyes sparkled with unspoken joy.
Fu Hanchuan escorted Qin Sheng to the gates of the Qin family home. As she was about to leave, he called out softly, "Sheng Sheng, do you have a phone?"
Qin Sheng tilted her head in curiosity and pulled out her phone.
Taking her phone, Fu Hanchuan's long, elegant fingers danced lightly across the screen. The soft glow from the device illuminated his striking features, casting a gentle light that seemed to make him even more breathtaking, adding a certain aloofness to his handsome countenance.
Qin Sheng stared, momentarily entranced, unable to help but marvel. No wonder Qin Churou was so infatuated with Fu Hanchuan in their past life.
Sensing Qin Sheng's gaze, Fu Hanchuan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he deliberately slowed his movements. After saving his contact information, he handed the phone back to her.
On Qin Sheng's phone, there were no other contacts, so it was easy to spot Fu Hanchuan's number at the top of her address book, listed under the name "Fu Gege."
"If you ever need anything, call me," Fu Hanchuan said softly. After a brief pause, he added, "I will always be here for you."
"Thank you, Fu Gege," Qin Sheng whispered, warmth spreading in her chest as she clutched the phone tightly. Her heart felt like it was on fire.
Fu Hanchuan's smile deepened. Towering over her, he could only see the top of her head, yet he could easily imagine her gentle smile. His expression softened.
He reached out and gently ruffled her hair. "It's cool in the evenings. Go inside now."
"Goodbye then," Qin Sheng said, turning to walk towards the door.
She approached the entrance, rang the doorbell, and stood waiting. Ten minutes passed, and still, no one came to open the door.
Fu Hanchuan frowned, his brows furrowing deeply.
Just as he was about to step forward, the door creaked open. A middle-aged maid appeared in the doorway. She looked at Qin Sheng and, with a mocking tone, said, "Oh, Miss, you're back. The master and madam have been waiting for you."
Qin Sheng said nothing and walked inside.
Fu Hanchuan could hear voices from within the villa, his eyes narrowing dangerously. Recalling the information he had gathered, he muttered under his breath, "Qin Hai, Lin Shuyuan."
It seemed he would need to teach the Qin family a little lesson.
His heart ached even more for Qin Sheng. At just seventeen, she had endured hardships that even most adults hadn't faced. From a young age, she had never known the love of her parents, even having to earn her own living and school fees.
A girl of seventeen should be growing up under the protection of her family.
Leaning casually against his car, one hand in his pocket, Fu Hanchuan stared intently at the villa, his gaze unwavering and determined.
He would be the one to shower Sheng Sheng with all the love and protection she deserved. He could make her feel like a cherished little princess.
