Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 414: Running Away When You Can’t Win an Argument, That’s a Bad Habit.

Inside the hotel, Fu Shihan, having finished his bath, was sprawled languidly on the sofa, browsing his phone.

This trip to the Empire was originally a spur-of-the-moment decision, yet he hadn’t expected to stumble upon an unexpected reward.

Su Wanxin...

He thought of the person he met at tonight’s banquet.

Actually, he had noticed her the moment he entered; the reason was simple—she was beautiful.

In a banquet hall filled with Western faces, her face particularly stood out, not to mention that Fu Shihan had seen this face many times in his own home.

Half a year ago, on a whim, Fu Shihan visited a villa he had bought long ago but had only been to a couple of times.

There, he encountered a whole wall of photos that even startled him; it made him wonder if some idiot had broken into his home at some point, for who else could pull off such a stunt.

Later on, he found out that every one of his houses had been touched by this idiot. No matter where he lived, he could see that person’s photographs, and many of them.

Undoubtedly, that idiot was himself. Besides him, no one else dared to mess around in his house like that.

But he could not remember when he had done these things, and who exactly was the person in those pictures.

People kept bringing it up around him though.

He heard he had a childhood ’child bride’ named Su Wanxin.

Lu Ci said with his crappy personality, no one could endure him except for Su Wanxin. This made Fu Shihan curious, just how good was this girl’s temperament?

He saw her today, teased her a bit, didn’t feel she was that tender. But that face...

It was truly beautiful.

Much more so than those photos in his home.

Apart from that, he hadn’t discovered anything else that could attract him.

Was Fu Shihan the type to superficially fall for someone just because of their looks?

Definitely not.

So, this thing with Su Wanxin was quite interesting.

Fu Shihan thought for a while then turned off the light to sleep. Unexpectedly, he met her again the next morning.

Su Wanxin: "..."

Fu Shihan: "..."

In the hallway, the two stared at each other in silence. Su Wanxin inwardly cursed, feeling like she must be cursed with bad luck, why else would she be so unfortunate?

She specifically got up early to come to the company to bring Su Bai something, and even this led her to run into him?

Su Wanxin hadn’t slept well last night, dreaming all night long.

In the dream, a bitchy voice kept talking by her ear; by the time she woke up, she couldn’t remember what was said. But she clearly remembered one thing.

The person said his name was Fu Shihan.

Seeing the complex expression on her face, Fu Shihan smirked and spoke in a lazy, infuriating tone, "Long time no see?"

Su Wanxin: "..."

Long time my ass, it hasn’t even been 12 hours yet, talk about a long time.

"Mr. Fu, don’t you think sometimes trying to make conversation when there’s nothing to talk about is particularly awkward?" Su Wanxin asked with a smile brimming with sarcasm.

"No." The reply came crisp and confident. "Are you feeling awkward?"

Su Wanxin was at a loss for words, uncertain of how to respond.

If she admitted it, that would mean she was making forced conversation.

If she didn’t admit it, then...

Was she still making forced conversation?

She clearly wanted to mock him, but how did she end up trapping herself instead?

As Su Wanxin thought about this, she got a bit annoyed.

Fu Shihan watched her retreat as if fleeing, and laughed softly.

Walking away when losing an argument, this was a bad habit that needed to be corrected in the future.

Fu Shihan was here on serious business; he went straight to Su Bai’s office, and when he entered, he found that Su Wanxin was also there.
