Chương 255: Which Color Do You Prefer?
Qin Yanzhi couldn't bear to look at him. "Look at you, a grown man completely under the thumb of a little girl."
"You don't understand." Fu Hanjiang wasn't annoyed, smiling instead. "When you have a girlfriend someday, you'll understand."
He ushered them out. "Hurry up and leave. I won't see you off."
As soon as they were gone, Fu Hanjiang rushed back to the president's office.
In the lounge, Sheng Xiangsi was already asleep, nestled in the warm bed with her cheeks flushed.
Fu Hanjiang couldn't resist and gently rubbed her cheeks, waking her up. "You're done?"
"Yes," Fu Hanjiang nodded with a smile. "Wake up a bit, don't sleep too much or you won't sleep at night."
"What do you know? Sleeping is the best beauty treatment." Sheng Xiangsi yawned and sat up, silently grumbling. She had indeed been feeling unusually sleepy these past few days.
Probably still a side effect of the medication.
As for pregnancy symptoms... even if she was pregnant now, it shouldn't be so fast, right?
Given the last false alarm, she was being much more cautious this time.
Dr. Ning said the safest way to confirm is a blood test 11 to 15 days after the ovulation period ends.
Sheng Xiangsi got up and put on her sweater while Fu Hanjiang fetched a comb to brush her hair.
He loved her long hair, black and thick with a slight natural wave, a look that couldn't be achieved even in a beauty salon. It had a hint of retro Hong Kong style—gentle yet glamorous, full of femininity.
"Shall we eat out tonight? What do you feel like eating?"
"Sure," Sheng Xiangsi nodded. "I want some meat."
"Hongluo or Cozyroom?"
"Hongluo."
Fu Hanjiang understood immediately. "You want their dessert? I'll call the chef to prepare it."
After he made the call, Sheng Xiangsi was ready.
They took the private elevator down to the garage and headed to Hongluo restaurant.
Upon arrival, Fu Hanjiang went to park the car while Sheng Xiangsi waited at the entrance.
This winter was exceptionally cold, and it often snowed in Jiangcheng. Today was no exception. Light snowflakes had been falling all day, and the snowfall was increasing as night fell.
Sheng Xiangsi stomped her feet lightly in her deerskin boots.
At the bottom of the steps, a silver-grey Pagani pulled up. Qi Yunji got out of the car, smiling at the person inside. "I'll wait for you here."
Then, she closed the door and the Pagani drove into the garage. Sheng Xiangsi saw the license plate and felt a pang in her heart.
It was Zhong Pei's car!
Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, her brows furrowing.
She hadn't been mistaken last time; the person with Zhong Pei was indeed Qi Yunji!
What was their relationship?
Friends? Acquaintances? Or something deeper...?
"Xiangsi!"
Fu Hanjiang finished parking and jogged over, wrapping an arm around her. "It's so cold outside. Why didn't you wait inside?"
"It wasn't too long."
"Let's go in."
"Okay," Sheng Xiangsi smiled, keeping her expression neutral as they walked in together.
...
That night.
Outside, the wind howled and the snow flew.
Inside Silver Beach, it was as warm as spring.
Fu Hanjiang laid Sheng Xiangsi on the bed. She had been particularly clingy these past few days, but he didn't mind. In fact, he quite enjoyed it.
If they could continue living like this forever, he wouldn't complain.
He pulled the covers over her, kissed her gently.
"Xiangsi."
"Mm?" Sheng Xiangsi barely opened her eyes, waving a hand. "Sleep, I'm tired."
What did he want now?
Fu Hanjiang smirked and asked, "Red, blue, yellow, white... which color do you like best?"
Sheng Xiangsi opened her eyes a bit wider. "Why are you asking?"
"Just answer."
"Red." Without thinking much about it, Sheng Xiangsi answered casually. Though, she indeed liked red.
Fu Hanjiang recalled that most of her coats were red. Red did suit her.
"Red," Fu Hanjiang murmured, repeating the word. "I'll remember that."
In such a quiet night, he started thinking about marriage.
Their first marriage hadn't been very pleasant.
He had mentioned marriage to her before, but she hadn't agreed.
Thinking back, it was his fault...
Marriage was such a sacred thing, and he had brought it up so lightly, making it seem unimportant.
This time, it wouldn't be the same.
He would plan everything carefully, starting with the proposal. Not a single detail would be overlooked.
Xiangsi liked red.
So, for the engagement ring, he would choose a red diamond, her favorite color.
...
At noon, after lunch at the cafeteria, Sheng Xiangsi brought a meal back for Bai Ran.
"Thank you," Bai Ran smiled as she accepted it.
"You're welcome."
Bai Ran had just returned to work today. While most of her injuries were healed, the bruising around her eyes hadn't fully faded.
Afraid of questions and gossip from colleagues, Bai Ran had chosen to stay in her workshop.
Fortunately, she had Xiangsi to help her.
Bai Ran opened the lunchbox. "Today's dishes look good."
Sheng Xiangsi opened a yogurt bottle and placed it beside her. "Your favorite blueberry flavor."
"Thanks, hehe."
"Ran, Ran!"
Outside, a man's voice called for Bai Ran, impatient and agitated!
That voice...
Bai Ran's face turned pale instantly. She stood up abruptly, gripping Sheng Xiangsi's hand, and said anxiously, "It's Si Zhengze! He's found me! He's come to the dance troupe!"
Hmph.
Sheng Xiangsi sneered. "You were in the hospital for days without a word from him, and now he shows up? Don't be afraid, I'll go check..."
Before she could finish, the door was flung open forcefully!
Both women froze and looked up.
Si Zhengze stormed in, his face dark and menacing. He grabbed Bai Ran's wrist tightly. "Finally found you! Bai Ran, where have you been these past few days?"
Bai Ran bit her lip and raised her chin. "Where I go is none of your business."
"Bai Ran!"
Something in her words seemed to set him off. He went berserk, his rage erupting. "Have you no shame? You're a married woman and you disappear for days! Tell me, which man have you been fooling around with?"
What?
Bai Ran's face drained of color. She trembled, "Si Zhengze, do you really see me that way?"
"Aren't you?"
Si Zhengze roared, veins bulging on his forehead. "You are the first woman I've known to cheat on her husband on the wedding night!"
"…"
Bai Ran was stunned, speechless.
Tears silently streamed down her face. "Si Zhengze, let's get a divorce."
The air went still.
Si Zhengze seemed not to hear her. "What did you say?"
"I said..." Bai Ran took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "Let's get a divorce… ah…"
Before she could finish, Si Zhengze raised his arm and slapped her hard!
Sheng Xiangsi was shocked, quickly stepping forward to pull him away. "What are you doing? Let go of her! Let go!"
"Who do you think you are?"
Si Zhengze turned, his eyes menacing like a demon's. "Mind your own business! Don't know what's good for you!"
He raised his arm, sending Sheng Xiangsi flying with a forceful push.
Simultaneously, he yanked Bai Ran's hair hard. "Divorce? What right do you have to talk about divorce?"
