Although bound and blindfolded, Yan Xi recognized Shi Wenwen's voice.
Yan Xi wasn't angry, sitting calmly in the chair, listening to Shi Wenwen's scolding.
Shi Wenwen sneered, "Yan Xi, do you know where you are? I'll tell you, this is a ruin that Fu Yan Ting bought. Fu Yan Ting said he's giving this land to me, so I can do whatever I want with you."
"Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to wish you eternal love or a hundred years of happiness?"
Shi Wenwen heard the underlying meaning in Yan Xi's words. She had suffered so much at Fu Yan Ting's hands, and she wouldn't let Yan Xi off easily. She had to find a way to humiliate Yan Xi and make her misunderstand her relationship with Fu Yan Ting.
If she couldn't have it, Yan Xi shouldn't think of having it either.
He Qi, standing nearby, looked at Shi Wenwen with shock.
He had investigated, and the land was indeed bought by Fu Yan Ting, but Fu Yan Ting hadn't transferred it to Shi Wenwen. He didn't understand why Shi Wenwen would say that in front of Yan Xi.
However, since he had decided to help Shi Wenwen, he couldn't expose her lie and waited for her to continue.
Shi Wenwen's lips curved upwards, unable to suppress her happiness. She said softly, "Yan Xi, if you're trying to seduce Yan Ting this way, I advise you to give up this idea. Yan Ting has already proposed to me, and we're getting married soon."
"Oh, then congratulations to you both."
Yan Xi felt nothing in the face of Shi Wenwen's provocation.
Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting had already ended their relationship. It was his freedom to be with whomever he pleased.
Yan Xi just didn't expect Fu Yan Ting's taste to be so poor, to be attracted to such a calculating woman.
This Shi Wenwen was even more scheming and disgusting than Xia Shi Xue.
Did Fu Yan Ting have no other women around him?
Yan Xi truly disdained Fu Yan Ting's taste.
Seeing that Yan Xi had stopped speaking, Shi Wenwen assumed Yan Xi believed her words, and her expression was smug.
He Qi, hearing Shi Wenwen say this, clenched his fists tightly.
Shi Wenwen and Fu Yan Ting were preparing to get married?
Why hadn't she told He Qi before?
He Qi knew Shi Wenwen's heart belonged to Fu Yan Ting. But Fu Yan Ting had rejected her, and Shi Wenwen was very dejected, even confiding in He Qi. He Qi knew that he and Shi Wenwen shared the same pain of loving someone who didn't love them back.
He could deeply empathize.
Therefore, even though Shi Wenwen's choice wasn't He Qi, He Qi was willing to do anything for her.
But now, Shi Wenwen stood here, in front of so many people, saying that she and Fu Yan Ting were about to get married.
He Qi couldn't accept this fact.
He pulled Shi Wenwen aside and asked with a hint of accusation, "You're getting married to Fu Yan Ting? Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"What? Who are you to me that I should tell you? He Qi, you and I are just friends. You knew about my relationship with Yan Ting from the beginning. Our marriage is a natural progression."
Faced with Shi Wenwen's interrogation, He Qi couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, he felt like a deflated balloon.
Meanwhile, Yan Xi took advantage of He Qi's argument with Shi Wenwen to speak to Shi Wenwen's bodyguard. "Brother, I need to pee. Can you untie me?"
The bodyguard frowned, skeptical of Yan Xi's words. He worked for the Shi family, and if he ruined Miss's plan, Shi Wenwen would hold him accountable, and he wouldn't have a good life in the Shi family.
Seeing that the bodyguard was unmoved, Shi Wenwen pouted and pleaded, "Brother, look at me, a weak woman. How could I possibly run away? I really just need to pee and relieve myself."
The bodyguard was quite approachable. After a brief thought, he untied Yan Xi and led her out through another exit. The bodyguard instructed, "I'll turn my back. Don't go too far. Finish quickly and come back. I'll give you one minute."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
As soon as the bodyguard turned around, Yan Xi bolted.
The bodyguard realized Yan Xi had run away and chased after her, but Yan Xi flagged down a taxi.
The taxi stopped, and seeing Yan Xi's panicked state, the driver couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you okay? Why is a girl like you running in such a remote, desolate place?"
Yan Xi turned her head sharply. Seeing the bodyguard was about to catch up and open the car door, Yan Xi said in a panic, "Driver, I'll give you ten times the fare. Please drive quickly to Binjiang Villa."
Seeing Yan Xi say this, and looking in the rearview mirror to see someone chasing the car, the driver quickly understood. He locked the car doors, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away. The bodyguard couldn't catch up and could only watch Yan Xi disappear from his sight.
When Yan Xi arrived at Binjiang Villa, she paid the fare, got out of the car, and ran all the way to Fu Yan Ting's villa.
Fu Yan Ting saw Yan Xi run in, breathless, and sneered, "What? The wild men outside couldn't satisfy you? You've come back to me?"
Yan Xi's whole body trembled.
She didn't know if it was from the terrifying experience or from Fu Yan Ting's words.
Seeing Yan Xi remain silent, Fu Yan Ting spoke again, "It's okay. As long as you beg me, I can satisfy you."
This time, Yan Xi finally reacted.
She stumbled forward to Fu Yan Ting and raised her hand, slapping him.
The slap caught Fu Yan Ting off guard.
Fu Yan Ting's eyes turned sinister as he looked at Yan Xi.
Before Fu Yan Ting could speak, Yan Xi spoke. She had been missing for so long, and Fu Yan Ting should have worried about her. But in Fu Yan Ting's eyes, her days of being kidnapped were just spent fooling around with wild men.
All the grievances and anger surged through Yan Xi at this moment. She could no longer control herself and raised her hand to slap Fu Yan Ting again.
The slap was particularly forceful, leaving a clear handprint on Fu Yan Ting's face.
Fu Yan Ting's veins bulged instantly.
He looked at Yan Xi coldly and said indifferently, "Yan Xi, don't think that just because you're the mother of my child, I won't dare to do anything to you."
"Heh, is there anything you, Fu Yan Ting, wouldn't dare to do? You let your fiancée kidnap me, and then I escaped back, wanting to ask if it was true. I thought you would help me, even though you were getting married. But we were once husband and wife. I never expected that this is how you see me."
She had placed all her hopes on Fu Yan Ting. The reason she insisted on returning here was not because she had nowhere else to go, but because she wanted to seek an answer from Fu Yan Ting before she left.
