Chapter 108: Speed up the 108 movements Chapter 108: Speed up the 108 movements âXiaocheng, how can you speak to your mother like that?â Mr. Huangpu, as stiff as a wooden stake, finally spoke, his face clearly ablaze with anger.
Fu Hanâs gaze fell on Mr. Huangpu. He was tall and sturdy, having gained weight with middle age; his belly protruded as if he were a woman five months pregnant.
But even so, one could still discern from his current facial features just how handsome he had been in his youth, much like Su Cheng at this moment.
Fu Han drifted off at a time when she really shouldnât have, so much so that she didnât catch a single word of the heated argument between the family of three from Su Cheng; she only vaguely sensed that their quarrel was escalating.
Suddenly, a hand reached out on a slant and pulled Fu Han back three steps.
As Fu Han turned her head, she saw He Xingâs face and immediately stopped her inopportune daydreaming.
âWhat are you doing here?â she tried to wriggle out of He Xingâs embrace, thinking to herself, Thereâs no such thing as maximum chaos, only more chaos.
âFu Han, are you an idiot? Just watching as someone tramples you under their feet?â Rage churned in He Xingâs dark eyes, a power within them that could swallow everything in this world.
âIâm not,â Fu Han was a bit confused. She felt slightly guilty towards Su Chengâafter all, this romance was fake. In her mind, being bad-mouthed by Su Chengâs parents was no big deal; she might as well consider it repaying a favor to Su Cheng.
He Xing snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to Fu Han, turning to Su Cheng: âYou canât even protect the woman you like; what kind of man are you?â
Su Chengâs face turned pale, but he said nothing.
He Xing then turned to Mr. and Mrs. Huangpu: âYou two have a reputation in A City, yet here you are ganging up on a young girl; arenât you afraid of losing face if word gets out?â
âHe Xing, this is our family business, what does it have to do with you?â Mrs. Huangpu retorted, not giving an inch.
âFamily business?â He Xing sneered: âFu Han was raised by our He Family; thatâs her natal home, and I am in charge of her affairs, and I will be for life.â
The faces of Mr. and Mrs. Huangpu changed color. Despite their reluctance, they ended up saying nothing.
With another cold snort from He Xing, he pulled Fu Han away without another word.
It wasnât until He Xing and Fu Han were far away that Mrs. Huangpu bit her lip and spoke through clenched teeth: âXiaocheng, what do we even say about you? Fu Han was discarded by the He Family, and you eagerly picked her up; if others knew about this, who knows how theyâd laugh at us.â
Mr. Huangpu didnât speak, but his face clearly expressed agreement.
If Mr. Huangpu hadnât stopped him, Su Cheng would have chased after Fu Han just now. At this moment, he was simply seething: âMom and Dad, all you have in your hearts are the company and your own prestige; you only think about yourselves, never considering what I want.â
âXiaocheng, how can you say that? We work so hard all for your sake,â Mrs. Huangpuâs eyes reddened, tears already brimming, making it seem as if Su Cheng had done something unforgivable.
Su Cheng, feeling rebellious, burst out: âI beg you, stop saying such things. The affairs of the Huangpu Family have nothing to do with me; I just want to do what I love.â
Having said that, he ran off.
Mr. and Mrs. Huangpu looked at each other, both taken aback by Su Chengâs outburst that day.
âHusband, just what kind of witchcraft has that fox spirit Fu Han used on Su Cheng, turning him like this?â Mrs. Huangpu wept bitterly as she threw herself into Mr. Huangpuâs arms.
Mr. Huangpu patted Mrs. Huangpuâs back gently, whispering softly: âDonât worry, Iâll take care of this.â
â¦
He Xing practically dragged Fu Han out of the clubhouse, tossing her directly into his Lamborghini.
Throughout, Fu Han struggled desperately, but the discrepancy in strength between them rendered her efforts futile.
The streetlight shone on He Xingâs face, showcasing a flawless profile without a single bad angle, and from Fu Hanâs perspective, it was akin to seeing the profile of The Thinker.
He Xing, with an unknown fury, started the car and immediately slammed the pedal to the metal; the screeching friction of the tires on the ground was jarring.
Securing the seatbelt was useless for Fu Han; she clutched the carâs handgrip overhead tightly, her last lifeline, convinced that without it sheâd surely be thrown out.
Only when she finally acclimatized to the extreme speed could she speak: âHe Xing, what in the world are you doing? Put me down this instant.â
âGoing crazy?â He Xing glanced at her once, then hit the brakes hard.
The tires screeched against the pavement, and the car came to a halt.
Caught unawares, Fu Hanâs forehead had an intimate encounter with the dashboard. She glared at He Xing, holding her forehead: âYou did that on purpose, right?â
âRight, I did it on purpose; Iâm out of my mind,â He Xingâs face was etched with endless coldness. After turning off the car, he lunged toward Fu Han.
Kisses rained down upon Fu Hanâon her face, lips, neckâviolent and consuming, filled with a destructive rage.
Fu Han resisted with all her might. She couldnât count how many times she kicked He Xingâs legs, nor how many times she hit his back, but it was useless.
Hiss!
The sound of fabric tearing.
It was her evening gown that He Xing had just ripped apart.
Fu Hanâs exposed shoulders met the air, causing her to shiver with cold.
He Xingâs kisses followed like a shadow, branding her goosebumps-covered shoulders like a hot iron, his hands roving all over her body with unmistakable intent.
Fu Han tilted her head back towards the sky just as a flurry of snowflakes began to fall, marking the second snowfall of the winter.
This year was different; the winter stretched long as if the cold would never end. The snowflakes were beautiful, yet the bone-chilling cold was not for everyone to endure.
Fu Hanâs heart sank little by little. She and He Xing had been intimate in the past, but he had always been restrained, never tearing through that last layer of resistance.
But today, for some unknown reason, He Xing would not listen to anything Fu Han said.
She despaired, thinking was she really going to surrender her precious first time under such circumstances? And involuntarily, at that?
Fu Hanâs hands, which she had struggled to keep in front of He Xingâs chest, dropped. Her legs no longer kicked at He Xing; she just lay there on the seat, still, resigned to her fate.
Unexpectedly, He Xingâs movements also stopped. Towering over her, his voice hoarse, he asked, âWhat is this supposed to mean?â
âSince I canât fight you off, just do as you will; make it quick, so I donât suffer too much,â Fu Han said, turning her gaze away from He Xing, back to the snowflakes falling outside the window.
He Xingâs deep-seated pain was like an endless sea. Slowly propping himself up, he sat back in the driverâs seat.
