Rebirth from the Ashes

Pleased, at last, Fu Qingxuan started to look for excuses to threaten her. “Make no mistake. I do not pity, sympathize with you, nor like you. I’m just afraid that you might be slaughtered by a maniac or eaten up by a beast while you’re outside. My brother will come for me.”

Shen Xi said nothing.

Fu Qingxuan continued on. “Don’t be nice to me. I won’t be nice even if you’re nice to me. Don’t get your head in the clouds that I’m easily fooled like my brother. Get this straight – I will never like you.”

Shen Xi thought it was immature and amusing to hear him go on and on.

She thought members of the Fu family would share the maturity, poise, and domineering nobility of Qingye. Where did this silly goose come from? Fu Qingxuan looked proper in the photograph. She thought that he was a bad*ss since he was a medical genius and the director of Fu Qingxi’s Medical Lab.

Fu Qingxuan carried the two suitcases up to the door when he was struck by a wicked thought, “These are your suitcases. Why am I carrying them?”

Shen Xi looked at him like he was an idiot. Why did he only remember that fact when they were already back in the estate? Without a word, she took over the suitcases.

There were a few steps leading to the entrance.

Shen Xi carried her luggage to climb up the steps.

Standing at a corner, Fu Qingxuan quietly observed in hopes she made a fool of herself. He was waiting for her to ask for help. The mean girl was going to beg him for sure because she would not be able to carry that many suitcases up the steps.

Unable to see his expression in the dark, Shen Xi had no idea what he was up to, nor did she care. With one baggage in each hand, she climbed up the steps.

Fu Qingxuan grew anxious to see her carry the bags with much effort. With his silly little motive out the window, he pointed at the ramp at the side and looked at her in contempt. “Idiot, couldn’t you have taken this way?”

She seemed like an airhead. The luggage was as big as her, yet she carried each in one hand. Did she really fancy herself to be Hercules?

Ignoring him, Shen Xi tried to walk away.

It never crossed her mind that her suitcases would be snatched away the next minute.

Fu Qingxuan took over the luggage and looked down on the girl who was just standing there. “What are you looking at? Come on. I’m not trying to help you, but you’d probably break those skinny limbs of yours and my brother will come after me instead.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Fu Qingxuan took two steps before realizing that she was not keeping up with him.

“What are you trying to pull now?” Fu Qingxuan furrowed his brows.

Shen Xi cheerfully pointed at the luggage. “I’d break my skinny limbs and Mr. Fu will…”

“Don’t try to use my brother on me.” Fu Qingxuan gave her a dirty look. “You don’t scare me. Handle your own problem.”

Intrigued, Shen Xi smiled as he stormed into the house in a huff.

He was quite an interesting little brat who would jump off the deep end with just a tiny push.

Fu Qingxuan pushed open the door to one of the bedrooms. He cleared his throat and hissed an empty threat, “You can stay here but you can’t touch anything in here.”

Shen Xi pushed her suitcases past him before turning to him. “Thank you for your kindness, Young Master, but I simply can’t use your sister’s room.”

“Insensible.” Fu Qingxuan commented as she opened the door to the room next to it. Blowing his top, he approached her and snatched her luggage. “I told you to stay there. Apart from this room, you are not to stay anywhere else.”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes at him. The young master might very well be mentally challenged. Amused, she stared at him. “This is your sister’s room. Are you sure I can only live here?”
