Chapter 116: 116 Capital
It was indeed strange; she had pretended to be in a relationship with Su Cheng to stop people from associating her with He Xing, yet it seemed those around her still constantly brought up He Xing.
The most exaggerated was Luo Qinghe, who previously would never discuss He Xing in front of Fu Han, but now it seemed he couldn’t speak three sentences without mentioning He Xing.
Even though Fu Han knew this was Luo Qinghe’s way of getting back at her for advising Bai Wei and forcing him into acting in the film, it just showed how petty and narrow-minded he was.
She clenched her teeth in frustration at Luo Qinghe’s retreating back, but eventually she strode after him, “Hey, didn’t Liang Tao say that the cast members are split by gender for the accommodations, so why are you heading this way?”
“This is all thanks to your beloved He Xing. After he listened to Bai Wei, he arranged for me to stay in the room next to hers,” Luo Qinghe said, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture.
It seemed he had already made a fuss about the housing issue, but to no avail, which was why he was now reluctantly heading towards the area where the women were staying.
Luo Qinghe didn’t wait for Fu Han’s response but instead saw the poorly concealed schadenfreude on her face.
Angry, he spoke again, “Fu Han, don’t be so self-righteous, He Xing is staying next door to you. You better be careful. Watch out in case he knocks on your door in the middle of the night.”

Fu Han’s pupils constricted, and she gritted her teeth, “The sheer audacity of capitalism, flaunting privilege so shamelessly.”
Luo Qinghe couldn’t stop snickering. He was the kind who loved to watch the world burn and started giving Fu Han advice, “If you want Su Cheng to stay with you, you could throw a tantrum, cry, make a fuss, or threaten to hang yourself in front of He Xing. It might work.”
“Only you would use such outdated tricks.” Fu Han spat dismissively and, paying no more attention to Luo Qinghe, left with long, confident strides.
Unless she was an idiot, Fu Han would never create a scene to stay with Su Cheng. Dealing with He Xing was difficult enough, adding Su Cheng to the mix meant she would not have to work, as handling them both would be a full-time job.
The “Yearn for Return” crew booked two hotels, and Luo Qinghe indeed hadn’t lied to Fu Han; the hotel where they were staying was indeed filled with girls, as far as Fu Han could tell since entering the building until she reached the top floor, she only saw two men, He Xing and Luo Qinghe.
It was said that Liang Tao also lived in this hotel, but he stayed in a regular room, not the presidential suite on the top floor.
The top floor had five rooms that housed He Xing, Fu Han, Bai Wei, Luo Qinghe, and Xia Ning. Each room was spacious and bright, with a layout similar to Fu Han’s room at the He Family’s place, which was to her taste.
By the time Fu Han finished unpacking, it was already dark, and Su Cheng called to invite her to dinner.
The one thing the crew had in abundance was paparazzi. Although Fu Han was not a star, the earlier events had left a shadow in her heart, and she was worried about being photographed eating alone with Su Cheng. She decided to step out and look for Luo Qinghe.
As soon as she opened her door, she saw He Xing, who hadn’t said a word to her since he placed her belongings in her room before leaving, which surprised her due to the negative emotions she held against him.
She instinctively stepped back, “What… what are you here for?”
The corridor’s lights flickered on, casting a halo behind He Xing, and highlighting his expressionless face that looked cold and somewhat terrifying.
Her instinctual dodging seemed to have hurt He Xing, who looked at the ground with a cold tone, “I came to call you for dinner.”
“Dinner… dinner?” Fu Han stammered, her brain whirling on how to tell He Xing she already had plans. What would his reaction be if she told him?
He Xing frowned, “You’re misunderstanding. The hotel includes three meals a day. I’m just showing you the way, not asking you out for dinner.”
It was all a misunderstanding. Fu Han felt a bit embarrassed for overthinking the situation. She cleared her throat and said apologetically, “Well, I’m not eating at the hotel today. You go ahead. Next time when I go to eat, I’ll find you if I can’t find my way.”
As she spoke the last part, her conscience was tormented: Fu Han, you will never ask He Xing to take you for a meal, and yet you lie so confidently.
At her words, He Xing’s expression changed, and he looked at Fu Han with an interrogative tone, “With whom are you eating? Where?”
The words “with Luo Qinghe and Su Cheng” were on the tip of Fu Han’s tongue, but for some reason, the moment she saw He Xing’s inquiring manner, she got irritated. She looked up and said coldly, “Do I need to report to you whom I dine with? You’re not my ‘whoever’!”
“Fine, fine then!” He Xing also became angry and turned to walk back to his own room.
Watching his resolute departure, Fu Han felt a sense of heaviness. For a moment, she wanted to reach out to He Xing and tell him she was only going to dinner with Su Cheng because Luo Qinghe was coming along, but her rationality ultimately held her back.
Luo Qinghe quickly agreed to her request and told Fu Han to wait outside for a moment while he changed his clothes.
Too lazy to return to her room, Fu Han stood in the corridor playing with her phone while waiting. A click sounded as a door opened. She reflexively looked over, and it was Bai Wei next door stepping out.
Bai Wei confirmed who was in her room before turning to Fu Han with a puzzled face and said, “Fu Han, did you go to the wrong place? He Xing’s room is over there.”
As she said this, she kindly pointed towards He Xing’s room.
Another person who automatically linked Fu Han with He Xing without knowing any better, Fu Han’s irritation simmered like a volcanic eruption.
Her face darkened, “Bai Wei, you are mistaken. I have nothing to do with He Xing.”
“Nothing to do?” Bai Wei’s pretty eyebrows lifted, and her short, tidy haircut adding a dashing air to her puzzled expression. “But everyone knows He Xing likes you.”
Fu Han had to admit, even though she still wanted to permanently escape from He Xing’s side, her mood was somewhat stirred upon hearing that remark.
However, this fleeting excitement was completely washed away by the rage inside her. She held back her impatience and said, “Spreading rumors is easy, but let me ask you, did He Xing personally tell you he likes me? If he did, please show me the evidence. If not, please stop linking me with He Xing altogether.”
Bai Wei’s face could no longer maintain composure. She had already clashed with Fu Han in Antarctica and now, her face inevitably fell, “Fine, don’t say it. To tell you the truth, I think He Xing is more than good enough for you. It’s you who might not be worthy of him. And yet, you act all day as if he’s not good enough for you. I think he must be out of his mind to treat you so well.”
