The bustling airport was filled with people coming and going, and the girl with a ribbon tied over her eyes stood out especially.
He Sheng wore a light yellow coat, her long seaweed-like hair cascading down. She looked as delicate and beautiful as a little elf who had accidentally wandered into the human world. Her porcelain-white face turned this way and that, as if anxiously searching for someone.
Fu Hanye frowned. Why had she come? What was she here for? And more importantly—how did she get here?
After the car accident, He Sheng had developed a psychological fear of riding in vehicles. Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, she had never left the villa again, let alone taken a car.
The Fu Family residence was an hour and a half away from the airport. The family’s helicopter was currently being used by Fu Jingnian, so He Sheng could only have come by car.
Uncle Zhou also spotted Fu Hanye and quickly reminded He Sheng: “We’ve found him, Miss He Sheng. Come with me.”
He Sheng nodded and obediently followed Uncle Zhou to Fu Hanye.
With just one glance, she easily identified him—the tallest one, with the sharpest features.
Fortunately, she had made it in time. Her life-saving treasure hadn’t run away.
“Uncle Zhou, why did you bring her here?” Fu Hanye asked lazily, one hand in his pocket. “Sending her abroad for treatment?”
He Sheng took a small step forward and reached out to grab Fu Hanye’s wrist. Tilting her petal-like face upward, she silently pleaded.
—Don’t go, alright?
Fu Hanye’s pupils shrank slightly. As if shocked by electricity, he flung her hand away.
Damn it. She hadn’t said a word, yet he had actually understood what she meant.
A trace of hurt flashed across the girl’s face. She pressed her soft cherry-colored lips together, then stubbornly grabbed onto his sleeve again.
Life-saving treasure, you can’t leave. If you leave, how will I live?!
Wang Hao’s gaze slid over He Sheng from top to bottom several times, silently lamenting how unfortunate it was. The broadcast announcement sounded again, urging them to board quickly.
“Brother Ye, the plane is about to take off. Should we go first?”
Fu Hanye raised his arm, forcing He Sheng to let go.
But the girl was extremely stubborn. She clung tightly without loosening her grip, forced to raise her hand along with his movement, even standing on tiptoe.
“Little mute, are you done yet?”
Fu Hanye was truly annoyed.
Yesterday, he had only jumped into the pool to save her because he didn’t want her to drown. But the feverish He Sheng had clung tightly to him and refused to let go. He had only intended to tease her a little, yet lying beside her turned out to be unexpectedly good for sleep. Unfortunately, Fu Jingnian had discovered them sleeping together and had scolded him harshly.
In the end, he had done a good deed and still ended up in trouble.
He really couldn’t stay in that house any longer.
It just so happened that Wang Hao and the others were planning to go abroad for fun. He also wanted to relax. Yet now, he was being blocked by this little mute.
He Sheng puffed her cheeks, then made up her mind. With a forceful leap, she clung onto Fu Hanye like a sloth.
The life-saving treasure was not allowed to run away!
That move left everyone present stunned.
Uncle Zhou trembled as he adjusted his glasses. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that He Sheng could do such a thing.
Fu Hanye had thought her behavior yesterday was already outrageous, but now it seemed he had underestimated her.
Today’s He Sheng was even more outrageous—completely beyond reason!
“He Sheng!” Fu Hanye growled sharply. “Get down right now.”
No way!
He Sheng huffed angrily and even rubbed against his shoulder in defiance, clearly expressing her stance.
Fu Hanye had quite the temper himself. Seeing her oppose him, his face darkened, and he tried to forcibly tear her off.
Uncle Zhou quickly intervened: “Young Master, Miss He Sheng is physically weak. Don’t hurt her.”
Fu Hanye ignored him and grabbed He Sheng’s arms, forcefully pulling her down.
He Sheng pouted. Through the translucent ribbon, the grievance in her eyes was clearly visible.
Fu Hanye pretended not to see it. With long strides, he walked toward the boarding gate. Wang Hao and the others followed closely, while He Sheng trailed behind step by step.
However, her vision was poor, and in her haste to keep up with Fu Hanye, she bumped into people several times. The last time, she tripped over someone’s suitcase and fell.
Uncle Zhou bent down to help her, but a hand was faster, pulling her up first.
At that moment, the boarding gate for Fu Hanye’s flight closed. The silver-white plane slid onto the runway and soared into the blue sky.
Wang Hao and the others all looked displeased. They had originally planned to enjoy themselves using Fu Hanye’s black card, but now it was all ruined.
“You’d better have a reason that can convince me.“ Fu Hanye said through gritted teeth. “Otherwise, you won’t like what happens!”
He Sheng grabbed his sleeve in return, a faint smile blooming on her face.
You are my life. Is that reason sufficient?
On the way home, He Sheng and Fu Hanye sat in the back seat.
The man was in a bad mood, leaning against the window with one hand as he looked outside. He Sheng let out a soft breath and checked her remaining life value.
Not bad. It had increased by another three hours.
“Didn’t you used to tremble in fear every time you got into a car? Not afraid now?” Fu Hanye asked coolly.
He Sheng’s body stiffened slightly.
The original owner had been afraid, but she wasn’t. She had never experienced a car accident.
After thinking for a moment, He Sheng quietly slipped her slender hand into Fu Hanye’s casually resting hand on his thigh.
The sudden softness in his palm made Fu Hanye glance at her instinctively. When He Sheng noticed his gaze, she revealed a timid, sweet smile.
Because she was afraid, holding his hand was perfectly reasonable!
“Take it away.“ Fu Hanye said.
He Sheng shook her head. Her delicate fingers threaded through his, their palms pressing tightly together.
Her lips moved, silently forming the word “afraid.”
Fu Hanye looked at their hands, then at He Sheng. The dark, restless emotions growing wildly in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He leaned closer, trapping her against the seat, his tall nose nearly touching her.
Pinching her cheek, he spoke in a tone that was half-threatening, half-coaxing: “Afraid? Then do something to distract yourself?”
Did she even understand that this kind of soft, obedient appearance could easily stir the brutality hidden deep within a man?
He didn’t like her—but that didn’t mean he lacked normal male impulses.
He Sheng shrank her neck and swallowed nervously.
Was this man insane? Why was he suddenly acting like this?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have held his hand. It didn’t even add much to her life value, and now he was pinching her face.
They were extremely close. His breath brushed against her skin, sending shivers through her.
A faint blush rose on He Sheng’s cheeks. She struggled lightly, her eyes filled with shyness.
She could cling to Fu Hanye without psychological burden—after all, it was for survival. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
But when he took the initiative, it was different. Especially under his aggressive gaze, she felt as if her neck were being bitten, suffocating.
As if the next second, she would be torn apart and devoured.
“Be obedient in the future, just like now.“ the man said in a low, hoarse voice that slowly entered her ears. “My patience is limited. Don’t provoke me again.”
Fu Hanye released her and leaned back into his seat. Only then did He Sheng dare to breathe deeply again.
The damn man was so fierce… but she would still dare next time!
