On the other side, Fu Hanchuan was holding Qin Sheng’s hand and was already surrounded by many people.
“Miss Qin, congratulations on returning to the Lin family.”
“Miss Qin, I heard that you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination. You are indeed the granddaughter of the Lin family. Even if you are wandering outside, you are still outstanding.”
“Miss Qin, you are beautiful, and your boyfriend is handsome. His family background is also not bad. You are indeed a good match. You are a match made in heaven. Miss Qin, Mr. Fu, I wish you a hundred years of good marriage.”
“…”!!
They were all flattering her, and their tone was quite fawning.
Qin Sheng was backed by the Lin family. Her boyfriend was from the Lu family, which was ranked eighth in the country. Now, Old Master Qin wanted to acknowledge her as his granddaughter.
Moreover, these three families were extremely protective of Qin Sheng.
In the Imperial Capital, there was probably no other person with such a background.
Therefore, even though Qin Sheng came from a small city, they didn’t dare to look down on her. It was too late to fawn on her.
Fu Hanchuan frowned. Qin Sheng liked peace and quiet.
He could already see the obvious impatience on his little girl’s face.
Fu Hanchuan held Qin Sheng’s shoulders and protected her in his arms. “You can go find the Lin family. Sheng Sheng doesn’t like to be disturbed.”
As he spoke, Fu Hanchuan protected Qin Sheng as they passed through the crowd.
Those people did not dare to stop them.
The two of them came to a quiet place and sat down.
Xie Hen was also sitting in a corner, looking in their direction from afar. There was a bitter smile on his lips.
He poured a glass of wine into his glass.
He raised his head and drank it.
“Xie Hen.”
Lu Ming came in front of him and called out hesitantly.
Xie Hen glanced at him, then poured a glass of wine for Lu Ming. “Come, have a drink.”
He poured himself another glass.
Lu Ming looked at him with a complicated gaze.
He originally thought that Xie Hen’s pursuit of Qin Sheng was just a spur of the moment, but he didn’t expect Xie Hen to really like Qin Sheng.
Lu Ming and Xie Hen were relatively close. He had seen Xie Hen’s deep affection for Qin Sheng these days.
Xie Hen often looked at Qin Sheng from afar, but he didn’t dare to go forward.
Lu Ming wanted to confess to Xie Hen that Qin Sheng and Fu Hanchuan were boyfriend and girlfriend, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
But today, he bumped into them.
Lu Ming felt sorry for Xie Hen. If he had told Xie Hen earlier that Qin Sheng already had a boyfriend, Xie Hen wouldn’t have fallen so deeply in love.
Seeing Xie Hen pour another glass of wine for himself,Lu Ming suddenly grabbed the glass of wine forcefully, not allowing Xie Hen to continue drinking. He opened his mouth and said, “Xie Hen, I’m sorry. We’re friends, but I’ve never told you the truth.”
Xie Hen laughed mockingly. “I’ve known for a long time. I just didn’t want to believe that Xiao Sheng has a boyfriend and had fantasies. Is Fu Hanchuan treating Xiao Sheng badly? I feel like I have a chance.”
“But…”
The corners of Xie Hen’s lips curled up into a bitter smile. The wine glass was held by Lu Ming, so Xie Hen simply picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth.
He took a big gulp.
His hand gripped the bottle tightly, and his voice was trembling. “But I can’t interfere in their relationship. There’s no hope.”
Perhaps, he had used some sinister means to break them up.
However, paper could not cover fire. With Fu Hanchuan’s methods, Qin Sheng would find out sooner or later.
Moreover, he had no way of getting Qin Sheng’s heart.
Lu Ming looked at Xie Hen worriedly.
Xie Hen put the bottle down heavily. “Lu Ming, do you know? I actually had a chance to be with Xiao Sheng. The first person she met was me, but I missed it…”
