Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 623: Aren’t I your amulet? I have to protect you.

Su Wanxin fell silent for a while before asking again, "What’s the second thing you wanted to say?"

Fu Shihan’s gaze became solemn, and he spoke in a low voice, "If you encounter any danger in the future, run away first."

Su Wanxin’s body stiffened abruptly, and Fu Shihan felt it, kissing her forehead.

"Are you silly? You don’t even remember me but you still treat me so well. Aren’t you afraid you might really lose your life?"

Su Wanxin’s red lips were tightly pressed together, she bit the corner of her lip.

His words were not much different from what Su Yao said last night. Su Yao also called her silly and told her to run away by herself next time.

"I..." Su Wanxin gave a bitter smile with mixed emotions, "Aren’t I your amulet? I must protect you."

"Don’t talk nonsense, you’re a treasure," Fu Shihan denied, "I’m the one who should protect you, to be your amulet."

He was looking at their photo from last night and thinking.

What exactly had he done to make such a delicate girl become so independent and enduringly strong now?

It’s not that being strong is bad, but what kind of hardships has she endured to become so?

He liked the carefree laughing Su Wanxin, and he wanted her to revert back to that.

"You have to promise me these two things before I can go back with peace of mind. Otherwise, I might really have to spend the New Year with you at your place."

"Why are you being so shameless?" Su Wanxin was curious.

"Can’t help it, I want you too much," Fu Shihan said, and smiled. "In every sense of the word."

Su Wanxin couldn’t resist his flirtatiousness, her face involuntarily reddened again. She buried her head in his chest to calm down, then said softly, "Okay."

After all, she couldn’t stand idly by while watching him make such an effort. Since she couldn’t bear it, she decided to give it another try.

The stone in Fu Shihan’s heart finally eased its descent. He bowed his head to look at her and asked for confirmation, "This ’okay,’ does it mean letting me go back in peace? Or does it mean letting me have a proper New Year at your place? Or, does it mean you’re agreeing to let me do this and that to you?"

"...You go back in peace."

"And you’ll keep wearing the ring?"

"Uh-huh, I won’t take it off."

"How can you be so obedient?" Fu Shihan couldn’t help but laugh with delight; soft, sweet, and well-behaved, he was almost at his limit.

"By the way, there’s something I want to tell you." Su Wanxin suddenly remembered something and her expression turned serious. "Do you remember when my mom’s birthday is?"

"Mm, after the New Year, on the third day of the first lunar month," Fu Shihan nodded, "Don’t worry, the gifts are all prepared."

"Really?" Su Wanxin was surprised, "What have you prepared?"

"Isn’t Lawyer Qi known as an expert in jade among the people?"

"Where do you guys hear these things? Lu Ci knows too!"

Fu Shihan raised an eyebrow, "Does he also plan to give a gift?"

"He’s prepared a piece of jade for Yaoyao."

"High awareness indeed," Fu Shihan laughed. "No problem, mine will definitely be better. I’ll come over on the second day of the lunar month; you can pick me up from the airport, and then we can go back to the country together."

"...Alright then."

With Fu Shihan feeling satisfied with how things turned out, he couldn’t help but flirt again.

He held Su Wanxin and took advantage of her with his kisses, until finally she hit him off the bed with a pillow.

The sound of cars came from outside. Su Wanxin nervously got out of bed and ran to the window, her complexion changing: "My brother’s back!"

"What’s there to be afraid of?" Fu Shihan was as calm as an old dog, "We’re both fully clothed, no panic."

Even if they were undressed and caught on the bed, he thought it would be quite nice.
