Beg Me to Remarry

Chapter 704: Chapter 707: What If....

As He Xing was in the elevator, his mind echoed with the words Fu Han had said. If she hadn’t come in, what would He Xing have done—ignored the situation as if he saw someone dying?

He clearly understood that before he saw the video sent by Fu Han, he would never have ignored Xia Ning’s situation. After all, Du Wanting had saved his life, Xia Ning had also saved him, and He Xing was partly to blame for the injury on Xia Ning’s face.

But was the only way to save Xia Ning really to pledge himself to her? He Xing didn’t believe so, and he certainly wouldn’t actually do that sort of thing with Xia Ning.

When he was hiding from Xia Ning in the ward, it wasn’t for any other reason, but because he had already pressed the emergency call button; he was waiting for the doctor to come and handle the situation.

Fu Han had said he could simply knock Xia Ning out, but Xia Ning’s facial injury hadn’t yet healed, and he was genuinely worried that if he hit her again in the back of the head, her already intermittent amnesia would become even more chaotic.

When He Xing reached the underground parking lot, ready to drive away, a new message from Fu Han came: "Xia Ning once spent money to hire someone abroad to deal with me. And this time, her hiring people to chase after me resulted in Nan Qing’s miscarriage. I definitely won’t let this go so easily."

Originally, his foot was already pressing on the accelerator, but upon hearing this message, he let out a deep sigh, finally stopping in place and saying word by word, "I support you in defending your legal rights."

He waited a while but did not get a reply from Fu Han. Knowing that Fu Han was still angry and would not bother with him, he pressed down on the gas pedal, and the car shot out like a bolt of lightning, heading for the Fu Family’s duplex villa.

Usually, it would take at least half an hour to get from the hospital to the Fu Family’s villa, but today He Xing arrived in less than twenty minutes.

He managed to knock on the door of the Fu Family easily, but Fu Xingbo didn’t let him in, instead blocking He Xing at the entrance.

Above the hallway were fist-sized lamps spaced a short distance apart, warm orange light turning the corridor bright and giving off a sense of warmth.

He Xing’s handsome eyebrows furrowed, and in his black eyes surged a tidal wave of wrath. His voice deep and tinged with coldness, he said, "Uncle-in-law, I came to see Fu Han. What do you mean by blocking me?"

As he spoke, the temperature in the corridor seemed to plummet. Although there were no sounds of wind or cranes outside, the hallway felt as chilly as a snowy field.

If it had been anyone else facing He Xing, they might have already been frozen as if in a snowy field.

Unfortunately for He Xing, the person standing opposite him was Fu Xingbo, someone who had made a proud name for himself in the bloody and violent international business market of M Country, relying solely on his own strength. He was no ordinary person.

Not even fluttering his eyelids, Fu Xingbo simply stretched out his somewhat pale hand to push up his glasses, and said with profound meaning, "I don’t care what happened between you and Fu Han, nor do I want to hear that there’s been a misunderstanding between you two. All I know is that Fu Han told me she doesn’t want to see you today. So please leave; I’m not going to let you in."

He Xing’s expression changed several times, and in the end, he asked reluctantly in a low voice, "Uncle-in-law, has Fu Han told you anything?"

"No," Fu Xingbo’s eyelids twitched. Under the light, his excessively pale face gleamed with an almost jade-like luster. "I’m not interested in what happened between you two. Fu Han won’t tell, and I won’t ask. But I will not allow anyone to harm Fu Han."

He Xing had not spent much time with his uncle-in-law. From childhood to adulthood, he could count the number of times they had met on two hands, so their relationship was neither deep nor shallow.

Yet, strangely, ever since He Xing learned of the relationship between Fu Han and Fu Xingbo, he had felt a certain fear towards Fu Xingbo.

It was as if... he felt an innate fear of a son-in-law towards a father-in-law, worried that he would not give his daughter away in marriage.

He Xing could see from Fu Xingbo’s eyes that no matter how hard he tried today, Fu Xingbo would not let him in. He let out a deep sigh, said goodbye, and left.

The night was no longer cold. He Xing stood outside the building, looking up and trying hard to see Fu Han’s room.

Finally, he located Fu Han’s room at a high floor at a great distance. The light shining from Fu Han’s window was not as big as He Xing’s palm.

But this tiny patch of warm light was the warmest place in his heart, giving him strength wherever he was.

He Xing didn’t know how long he had stood there, nor did he remember when the light in Fu Han’s room had been turned off. Before leaving, he sent a message to Fu Han: "Xiaohan, I’ve been standing outside your window until now. I have to go take care of some things and must leave. We’ll see each other at Bai Wei’s engagement ceremony."

After sending the message, He Xing drove away.

The headlights of the Lamborghini tore a small gash through the darkness, yet the night gathered again behind him as if it had never been cleaved.

He Xing’s gaze was resolute, eyes fixed on what lay ahead; and behind him, the window that he had stared at for hours cracked open slightly, a pair of shining black eyes appeared and quietly watched the Lamborghini drive away. noveldrama

...

The Li family’s five-star hotel, the site of Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei’s engagement ceremony.

As the sun just began to rise above the horizon, and the daylight had not yet completely dispelled the darkness, the hotel was already buzzing with activity.

The Bai family of four arrived early, and the Li family arrived not long after.

Many hotel staff had been up since midnight, busy preparing for today’s engagement ceremony between Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei.

Luo Qiluo and Li Huazhi had promised while in M Country to prepare a grand engagement ceremony for Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei, wanting the whole city and even the whole country to see their ceremony.

This couple intended to flaunt the high status of the Li family in A City in front of Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian, who were well aware of their intentions.

As adults, the most important thing is to show respect to others even if there is no understanding, and after knowing the intentions of the Li family, Fu Xingbo and his wife simply replied that they can make all the arrangements, thereby becoming contented figureheads.

However, this morning, when the four of them—Fu Han, Bai Wei, and their spouses—arrived, Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian couldn’t help but murmur that the hotel was a bit too extravagant.

The entrance was adorned with lanterns and bright colors, and inside, the hotel was blooming like a garden. Everywhere on the glass windows, large red ’happiness’ characters were pasted, and even the chandeliers weren’t spared—the decor inside and out was exceptionally festive, more so than an average wedding.

Fu Han teased Bai Wei, saying, "You might as well not just get engaged—just get married."
