Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 424: He Did It on Purpose

Fu Shihan gave her a cool glance, as well as the cigarette in her hand. Su Wanxin’s scalp tingled inexplicably, feeling a bit guilty.

They locked eyes for a long moment, then Fu Shihan tossed the pile of junk food onto the bed, followed by snatching the cigarette from between her fingers and taking a casual drag.

Su Wanxin opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had smoked that cigarette already, that if he wanted a smoke he should just say so, there were fresh ones available.

But meeting Fu Shihan’s cold gaze, she didn’t voice it.

"Hasn’t anyone taught you to lock the safety chain when staying in a hotel, and to check who’s outside before opening the door?"

Fu Shihan recalled the way she opened the door just before, clearly without any caution.

"Is President Fu here to enforce the law by fishing?" Su Wanxin turned to get the instant noodles he returned, started to boil water, and began soaking them.

Fu Shihan watched her movements, frowned, and asked, "Now that you’re back, are you leaving again?"

Su Wanxin laughed, finding him quite amusing. "Of course I’m leaving, this isn’t my home."

Fu Shihan: "..."

His heart ached inexplicably.

"When will you go back?"

Su Wanxin: "Not decided yet, why, does President Fu want to offer me a ticket for the return trip?"

"I’ll offer you a private jet."

"...No thanks, it’s not good to accept rewards without merits." Su Wanxin soaked the noodles, sat on a chair and watched him, biting into the fork in her hand. "Can we discuss something?"

"Speak."

"Go out, and close the door behind you."

Su Wanxin was politely kicking him out, Fu Shihan heard this and walked towards her. Just as she thought he wanted to do something, he picked up the packet of cigarettes and lighter from the table, and confiscated them.

"Eat less junk food, it can lower your IQ. I heard you were challenging me before, didn’t win, this must be the reason."

"Who challenged you and didn’t win?!" Su Wanxin was upset by these words, "Not convinced? Let’s compete again! See who loses!"

"Compete in what."

"You choose!"

"Fine." Fu Shihan nodded, "We’ll get in touch tomorrow, I’m leaving."

He left briskly, and in the instant he turned, Su Wanxin seemed to see a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

Soon she was left alone in the room, she looked at the instant noodles on the table, remembering his provoking words, felt like she had been played.

It was deliberate.

He had deliberately provoked her, deliberately set a trap, and waited for her to jump in.

Su Wanxin was a bit annoyed, took a couple of bites of the noodles, then lost interest, threw them in the trash, opened the window to let the smell of smoke and noodles dissipate, then closed it again, worried that Su Yao would come back and scold her later.

Su Yao came back in the middle of the night, having indeed drunk quite a bit.

Su Wanxin’s consciousness was blurry with sleep, hearing her slurred words hugging her saying: "Sis loves you, don’t cry."

Su Wanxin opened her eyes, wanted to say she wasn’t crying, only to see Su Yao had already fallen asleep, utterly exhausted.

Su Wanxin slowly got up, helped her undress and covered her with a blanket, then turned off the light to rest. The next morning, the two went downstairs for breakfast, then split up to get things done.

Su Wanxin planned to visit Su Family today, the hotel wasn’t far from there, so she decided to walk.

She walked for about ten minutes and reached the place, also feeling the gazes on her growing more and more numerous.

CBD center, with many financial companies.

And in this circle, there were very few people who did not know her.

This face they had not seen for a long time, seeing it again, there was a sense of feeling like it was from another lifetime.

Su Wanxin entered the Su Building under the watchful eyes of many.

Along the way, she startled the receptionist, the employees, the general manager...

Chen Lei.
