Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 467: Don’t be afraid, I’m here.

She needs to sleep with a night light on, not too bright, just enough light will do.

She didn’t want to open her eyes to endless darkness, so dark she couldn’t see anything, as if she were the only person in this world.

Su Yao got used to wearing an eye mask while sleeping with her for a year. She thought she was the only one with such a whimsical issue, but unexpectedly...

Fu Shihan heard her words, a smile lingering at the corner of his mouth. He gently patted her back, comforting her: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

His words were like a sleeping pill, calming Su Wanxin’s heart quickly, her consciousness gradually becoming blurry.

However, the person beside her became more and more awake, not feeling the slightest bit sleepy.

The person in his arms was soft and fragrant, recalling that kiss from that day, it was still a bit sweet.

Fu Shihan got his wish, tasting the feeling of holding her to sleep. And this feeling...

Made him nostalgic and unwilling to let go.

He thought about the photos in the bedroom and gave a bitter smile.

How would he explain it if she saw them?

The long night dragged on, and Fu Shihan didn’t sleep a wink. So when Su Wanxin woke up in the morning, the first thing she saw was him, his gaze intense as it bore into her.

Su Wanxin: "..."

Their eyes met for a few seconds, she reached out to cover his eyes, then pushed him away and sat up.

"Good morning," Fu Shihan’s voice was hoarse as he began to speak. Hearing her perfunctorily "hmm" in response, he then fled in a panic.

Su Wanxin went straight to the bathroom to change her clothes, and when she came out, she found Fu Shihan still lazily lying on the bed, not getting up. She placed his shirt beside the bed, turned, and ran off.

Fu Shihan raised an eyebrow, and as she was about to leave the room, he asked, "Aren’t you driving me to the company?"

Driving him was out of the question, absolutely impossible.

Su Wanxin didn’t answer, and ran downstairs, not even daring to go home, she went directly to the company by car.

Su Yao, realizing she hadn’t returned home all night, called her worriedly asking where she had gone.

Su Wanxin dared not admit that she had spent the night at Fu Shihan’s place, she simply lied about working overtime all night, and managed to bluff her way through. Then, all morning long, as long as she thought about what happened last night, her heart would be in turmoil.

During lunchtime, Su Wanxin finished her meal near the company and remembered Fu Shihan asking for a birthday gift the night before.

She felt torn and struggled. By the time she returned to the company, she had an extra item with her but didn’t know when to give it to him.

She just felt that there seemed to be a layer of window paper between her and Fu Shihan.

Once this paper was pierced, everything would change.

...

In the afternoon, Fu Shihan received a call from Lu Ci, inviting him out for a get-together in the evening.

Celebrating this way every year, Fu Shihan agreed without a second thought.

"Bring Wanwan along?" Lu Ci suggested with a smile. "Have a meal together, consider it a welcome for her."

"I can’t bring her, can’t make an appointment."

"Oh?" Lu Ci was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to give up so readily, completely unlike his usual style. "Can you do it or not?"

"Go ahead if you can," Fu Shihan coldly laughed and hung up, knowing that it was impossible for Su Wan to go out with them.

After what happened last night, Su Wanxin would conservatively need three or four days before she could see him without turning around and running away.

Thinking she would agree to go out so soon? Impossible.

Fu Shihan saw through it all, but Lu Ci wouldn’t be put off, he went straight to the Su Family to find her.

The result was indeed a straightforward and clean rejection, the kind that didn’t leave any face at all.
