Chapter 05
He Bai Zhi, having been reborn, could no longer tolerate this treatment. She grabbed her bag and stormed out. Before leaving, she didnât forget to throw out a harsh warning:
âDonât come begging me to return in the future!â
Zhao Miao was so furious she almost chased after her to hit her, but He Bai Zhi quickly shut the door behind her and escaped from that home.
Fu Ting Shen sat at his desk with a serious expression, pretending to read through documents. If Xu Xinghe hadnât noticed from the corner of her eye that he was holding the papers upside down, she might actually have believed him.
Xu Xinghe had been arranged by Fu Ting Shen to sit on the sofa beside him. She still remembered asking him what she was supposed to do there.
His answer had been simple:
âWatch me.â
Just those two words had left Xu Xinghe sitting there watching him for the entire morning. During that time, people continuously brought snacks and fruit over, so she didnât feel bored at all.
On the other hand, Fu Ting Shenâs entire body had stiffened under Xu Xingheâs gaze. He loved the way she looked at himâthat feeling that her eyes held only him was so intoxicating that he hadnât managed to read a single document all morning.
At exactly noon, Fu Ting Shen finally put down the upside-down file in his hands and stood up. Only then did Xu Xinghe realize just how tall he really was.
As he stopped in front of her, she had to tilt her head back to properly see his face. His shoulders were broad, giving off an endless sense of security⌠though she couldnât help wondering what he looked like beneath his clothesâŚ
âGo eat?â Fu Ting Shen lowered his head, his gaze openly possessive as it roamed over her. His Adamâs apple bobbed unconsciously.
Xu Xinghe nodded and reached out to hold his large hand.
âBaby, hold my hand~â
Fu Ting Shenâs broad and powerful palm felt as though it could encompass the entire world. His fingers were long and dexterous, the tips carrying faint calluses. They felt slightly rough, yet somehow incredibly reassuring.
âAlright,â Fu Ting Shen replied in a low, husky voice. âIâll hold your hand forever.â
Holding her hand felt as though he had grasped his entire world.
Fu Ting Shen drove her to a famous French restaurant. Just from the dĂŠcor alone, Xu Xinghe could tell it was definitely expensive.
The restaurant staff professionally introduced the signature dishes, but Xu Xinghe noticed that the man sitting across from her seemed to be in a rather poor mood.
She casually ordered several dishes she liked. The restaurantâs tables were especially uniqueâlong dining tables with a scented candle placed in the center.
Because of that, the distance between them felt far greater.
Xu Xinghe rested her chin on her hand and looked at the man across from her. She already knew why he was unhappy, but she deliberately pretended not to notice because she wanted to tease him a little.
ăXingxing, youâre so bad. The male leadâs face has completely darkened. This system bets heâs regretting choosing this restaurant~ă
Hearing Yaoyaoâs words only made Xu Xinghe find him even more adorable. This yandere male lead was truly cute.
And now, he belonged to her.
âBaby~â Xu Xinghe called softly, sounding slightly aggrieved as she propped up her chin.
Noticing her mood, Fu Ting Shen gently asked, âMm? Whatâs wrong?â
Xu Xinghe pushed back her chair and stood up. For a moment, Fu Ting Shen thought she was about to leave, but instead, she walked over to him.
âI want to sit with you, baby. Itâs too far away~â
Xu Xinghe reached out with one finger and tugged lightly at his sleeve, speaking with a pitiful expression.
Fu Ting Shen felt as though his heart was about to give out. Even when his parents had died before his eyes, his heart had never pounded this violently.
His Xingxing said she wanted to sit with him.
She needed himâŚ
Xu Xinghe suddenly felt a large hand settle against her waist. In the next moment, she was firmly seated on Fu Ting Shenâs lap. That large hand never let go, instead resting loosely around her waist, full of possessiveness.
