Chapter 46: 046 Heart Knot
Yang Kaitai was hugging Xia Ning’s neck and nibbling on it, but when he heard this, he stopped. With a complex expression, he looked at Xia Ning.
In her sleep, Xia Ning felt that He Xing was about to leave her. She gripped Yang Kaitai’s hand tightly. “He Xing, I like you, I really like you a lot.”
Yang Kaitai looked deeply at Xia Ning, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity. “What’s so great about that pretty boy? It should be me that you like.”
He hesitated no longer and kissed her deeply.
When Xia Cheng walked in, what he saw was exactly this scene. “What are you doing?” he yelled, rushing forward to pull up Yang Kaitai and throw him to the ground.
As he was already half a head taller than Yang Kaitai and considering that Yang Kaitai was feeling guilty, he did not resist when thrown to the ground. Instead, he apologized pathetically and ended up being directly scolded out of the room by Xia Cheng.
Although Xia Cheng was agitated, it was only because the person who had acted inappropriately towards Xia Ning was Yang Kaitai. The Yang Group was inferior to the Xia Family, and he really looked down on Yang Kaitai.
But if it had been He Xing doing such things to Xia Ning today, not only would he not have burst in angrily to interrupt them, but he would’ve also gently stepped out, even carefully closing the door behind them and attentively standing guard outside to prevent interruptions.
The Xia Group was the enterprise that had risen the fastest in City A in recent years and enjoyed unmatched prominence, but they were well aware of the large gap between them and the four major families of City A, especially the He Family who led them.
Only if Xia Ning could truly marry into the He Family as the young madam could the Xia Group possibly replace one of those four families.
…
Fu Han found herself in another BATTLE that evening over who would stay with her for the night.
He Xing insisted on staying because, as her fiancé, he was the most suitable.
But Fu Han really did not want to be alone with He Xing. Ever since she came back, he had seized every possible opportunity to kiss her. Even though she was injured, He Xing had still given her a light, butterfly kiss.
Now they would have to spend the entire night together; who knew if He Xing would be able to control himself from doing something inappropriate?
So, not giving him any chance was Fu Han’s greatest self-protection.
Su Cheng also strongly advocated for himself to stay for the night, promising he would just watch from outside the ward.
However, before Fu Han could refuse, He Xing became angry and bluntly told Su Cheng to give up his wishful thinking, vowing to prevent Su Cheng from staying.
Su Cheng, having resolved the concern of Nan Qing and seeing Fu Han’s dislike for He Xing’s advances, became emboldened, and, for a change, argued with He Xing.
It ended with Nan Qing, hands on her hips, driving both men out of the ward. “If you want to fight, do it outside; don’t disturb Fu Han’s rest. We are going to sleep.”
The two men stood in the empty corridor, staring at each other, suddenly feeling there was nothing worth fighting about. Although the situation wasn’t what they had hoped for, it wasn’t bad either.
The two men each got a blanket from the nurse station and, like door gods, stood guard outside Fu Han’s ward, one on the left and the other on the right.
As for Fu Han, she had slept in the afternoon and now wasn’t sleepy anymore.
She stared with open eyes at the night sky outside the window, unsurprisingly void of stars, while the moon hung above like a disk, brilliantly clear.
“Nan Qing, is it almost Mid-Autumn Festival?” Fu Han’s voice was very low and became inaudible toward the end, as she suddenly remembered that Nan Qing might have fallen asleep.
But Nan Qing quickly responded, “Yeah, in two days.”
Since her parents left, holidays were the times when Fu Han felt the most miserable.
She had to pretend not to care while watching others celebrate with their families, to act grateful for the compensation from the elder Mr. He, and to strive to fit into a circle that was not hers.
Three years ago, she did all she could for He Xing, finding everything sweet; but now, looking back, she felt like a clown at those banquets, an amusement for those young lords and ladies.
Back then, she was like a tailless pheasant, seeing red whenever someone hit a sore spot.
At the time, she didn’t understand, but now it was all too clear to her. Her appearance at those high society parties was a joke in itself.
Nan Qing didn’t wait for Fu Han’s response and turned towards her. “Fu Han, how do you plan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival? Like before?”
“Sure,” Fu Han’s mind filled with the past three years, where all the international students got together overseas during festivals, creating a lively atmosphere.
The room fell into silence again, but Fu Han knew Nan Qing wasn’t asleep. After some thought, she began slowly, “Nan Qing, has something happened to you lately?”
Nan Qing’s eyes shimmered in the darkness. “No, why do you ask?”
“I feel…” Fu Han paused, considering her words. “I feel like there is something off between you and Su Cheng. You two are alright, aren’t you?”

Nan Qing’s heart skipped a beat, grateful that this conversation was taking place under these circumstances. She replied as calmly as possible, “No, there’s nothing wrong at all.”
“That’s good,” Fu Han breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re my best friend, and I don’t want you to be unhappy.”
Beneath the blanket, Nan Qing clenched her fists, her nails pressing into her palms, a clear pain piercing through her hand and into her heart.
Then she heard her own voice rise, “Fu Han, do you really consider me your best friend?”
“Yes,” came Fu Han’s firm response. “Though we’ve only known each other for three years, I like you a lot. I hope that in the long years to come, I can be as decisive, as free, and as daring in love and hate as you are.”
“Daring in love and hate?” Nan Qing echoed softly, then asked again, “What about Su Cheng?”
Without batting an eyelid, Fu Han replied, “Su Cheng is also my friend, and right now we are comrades-in-arms.”
She went on to tell Nan Qing about her investment in Su Cheng Company and quickly touched on how she used Su Cheng to refuse He Xing.
Nan Qing listened intently, pondering every word. Finally, looking towards Fu Han, she said earnestly, “Fu Han, Su Cheng is a good person. If you consider me a friend, then make sure you don’t hurt him; if you like him, love him sincerely; if you don’t, don’t give any false hope.”
“I will. I don’t like toying with emotions,” Fu Han answered without any hesitation.
That’s how she thought, and that’s how she acted. She knew very well how Su Cheng felt about her. She could have taken a 30% share of his company for free, but she chose not to. Instead, she requested an audit from the Audit Agency and made a direct financial investment.
