Ruan Tianyang’s voice was suddenly choked in his throat, and he stared at her in shock.
How could Cheng You know something he thought he had hidden so well!
Cheng You smiled faintly, "Are you still throwing a tantrum?"
Ruan Tianyang looked at her in terror and shook his head blankly.
If he made any more trouble, his shameful secrets would be known to everyone.
Qi Chengyan released his foot and said coldly, "Get out!"
On his way back, Ruan Tianyang's mind was filled with who had leaked his inability to have children.
His footsteps quickened, and everyone around him seemed to be mocking him.
Feng Xue had just had a miscarriage and was still in the hospital ward.
He directly opened the door and walked in, bringing a gust of cold wind.
Feng Xue looked at him irritably, "Didn't you go out to buy food? Where's my meal?"
Ruan Tianyang's eyes were sinister, and he walked directly to the bedside, looking down at her.
"Was it you who said it?"
Feng Xue was confused, "I'm talking about my meal, what are you talking about?"
Ruan Tianyang gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger until his face was contorted, "I'm asking you, was it you who said it!"
"Are you crazy? What did I say?"
Feng Xue had just lost her child, was unattended after waking up, and had been hungry for so long that she didn't even have the strength to be sad.
Now, hearing his questioning, she naturally lost all patience.
Ruan Tianyang could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and grabbed her by the neck, pushing her onto the bed, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
"How did Cheng You know I can't have children? Who else could have told her besides you!"
Feng Xue's neck was choked, and her face turned ashen from suffocation.
"You... let go!"
Fortunately, Ruan Tianyang had a shred of reason left. He released her just as she was about to faint.
Ruan Tianyang stared at his hands blankly, feeling a trace of fear, and quickly helped Feng Xue up.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xue. I was just too angry. Cheng You actually knows I can't have children. If this gets out, we'll both lose face!"
His inside was already full of holes. If he lost face too, what was the point of all he had done.
Feng Xue coughed twice and was about to speak when she realized her throat was hurting terribly.
This was not the first time Ruan Tianyang had laid hands on her.
From their wedding night, to making her find a donor to have a child, and now to the miscarriage.
She didn't want others to laugh at her, so she never spoke about these things.
Only now did she realize that Cheng You already knew about these things...
Feng Xue closed her eyes in despair. These past few days, she must have looked like a joke to herself.
"Ruan Tianyang, let's get a divorce."
Ruan Tianyang gently stroked her neck, which was covered in bruises, and hastily placated her, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xue, I didn't mean to. I swear I won't hit you again."
Feng Xue covered her face. She had heard this sentence countless times.
"I was wrong..."
She had taken the wrong path from the very beginning. She shouldn't have married Ruan Tianyang out of spite, nor would she have fallen into Feng Yaojie's arms in her most vulnerable state due to sadness, leading to a grave mistake.
One mistake led to another.
When she saw Feng Xianxu, she felt that she still had a chance to correct her mistakes.
As long as they divorced, everything would still be salvageable.
"Yes, let's get a divorce! Ruan Tianyang, I won't tell anyone about your situation, as long as you divorce me. Grandfather and grandmother care about their reputation, and Cheng You cares about them, so she won't expose my affair with Uncle, and no one will know you can't have children."
...
Although Cheng You didn't plan to interfere in Feng Xue's affairs, she was still surprised to hear about the divorce.
"Is it because she lost the child?" Qiu Tingting asked curiously.
Qiu Tingting had heard about Feng Xue's situation but was unaware of her affair with Feng Yaojie.
She only thought that Feng Xue was divorcing due to grief after losing her child.
Cheng You smiled, "I'm not too sure either."
Some fig leaves shouldn't be pulled back.
Besides, it was better for Qiu Tingting not to know certain things.
"How are things between you and my brother now?"
Qiu Tingting acted shy, "Just so-so."
You ignored me before, but now you can't afford to reach me.
Although she liked Feng Xianxu, she felt she couldn't let him have his way too easily.
"Oh, what does 'so-so' mean?" Cheng You blinked.
Qiu Tingting snorted, "Let him chase me. It's his own doing."
Hearing her say this, Cheng You knew it was settled.
"Don't make me wait too long, okay? I want to call you sister-in-law soon."
Qiu Tingting covered her blushing face and said reproachfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not even a sure thing yet."
"You..."
"Hey, who's here?" Qiu Tingting gestured towards the door.
Cheng You turned around and saw Feng Xue.
Qiu Tingting whispered, "Even for a minor miscarriage, she should be resting properly, right?"
Cheng You shook her head, offering no comment.
Feng Xue tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Cheng You, I heard Ruan Tianyang caused trouble for you when I miscarried earlier. I came to apologize. Please don't take it to heart. My child's accident has nothing to do with you."
Cheng You and Qiu Tingting exchanged glances, and both saw disbelief in the other's eyes.
Was the sun rising in the west? Feng Xue was actually apologizing to someone.
Cheng You said nothing about it.
"It's fine. Ruan Tianyang has already been punished. You can go back."
Feng Xue had lost a lot of weight, her frame so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow her away.
At first glance, she looked somewhat pitiable.
"I know you don't like me, but after all that's happened, I still want to apologize. Everything in the past was my folly. I hope you can overlook my past mistakes and forgive me. I sincerely want to change."
Cheng You was immune to these words long ago. If Feng Xue could change, pigs would fly.
"Okay, I forgive you. Can you leave now?"
Feng Xue was overjoyed, tears welling up, "Then we're still good sisters from now on?"
Cheng You scoffed, repeating the words playfully, "Good sisters?"
Feng Xue gave a wry smile, "We are cousins after all. If it weren't for what I did before, our relationship wouldn't be this bad."
Cheng You couldn't help but laugh. What Feng Xue said was too ridiculous.
"Cousins? Who knows, you might become my elder soon. Alright, stop disgusting me here. Go back when your act is over."
Cheng You didn't appreciate her words and had no intention of playing the role of sisters with her.
Especially since this scene was witnessed by Qiu Tingting, which made Feng Xue extremely embarrassed.
She thought she had given Cheng You enough face.
Coming to apologize in person and seeking reconciliation was already the limit of what she could do.
She clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails digging into her palms, crushing the flesh.
"Since that's the case, I'll come again another day."
Qiu Tingting turned her head and whispered in Cheng You's ear, "The sun must be rising from the west. You said all these things, and she didn't get angry. What's her plan?"
Cheng You's expression was indifferent, "She probably wants to turn over a new leaf."
To gain everyone's sympathy and forgiveness.
But Feng Xue underestimated the things she had done in the past.
