But she also worried that Fu Yan Ting would shatter her beautiful dream.
Shi Wen Wen lowered her head and carefully observed Fu Yan Ting's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Shi Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she enjoyed being tied up like this, Shi Wen Wen knew she couldn't let He Qi continue speaking. While Fu Yan Ting hadn't explained, his expression was already extremely displeased.
Shi Wen Wen said with a smile, "He Qi, why are you talking so much? Can we just talk about Yan Ting today and not involve me?"
Shi Wen Wen thought that with her direct words, He Qi would understand her hint.
Unexpectedly, He Qi hadn't grasped it yet.
He Qi chuckled heartily, "What are you afraid of? You'll be Fu Yan Ting's wife sooner or later. In the hearts of us friends, we've already treated you as the young madam of the Fu family."
After speaking, He Qi advised with feeling, "When two people are together, one must be cold and the other must be warm, otherwise, it's hard to make it work. Yan Ting is already so aloof; if you don't make a move, my wedding gift money will just gather dust in the bank."
Shi Wen Wen's lips twitched. She wanted to make a move too, and she wanted to marry Fu Yan Ting, but Fu Yan Ting disagreed. What could she do?
As soon as He Qi finished speaking, Fu Yan Ting remembered how Yan Xi had tried to please him in various ways during the first few days of their marriage.
At times, even when faced with his endless provocations, Yan Xi didn't pay them any mind.
Could it be, as He Qi said, that this was Yan Xi's love for him?
Fu Yan Ting's expression softened slightly.
He Qi, however, misunderstood, thinking his words had struck a chord with Fu Yan Ting. He believed Fu Yan Ting was the aloof and reserved type who secretly desired to marry Shi Wen Wen but wouldn't show it on the surface.
Just as He Qi was about to speak,
Yan Xi, standing nearby, suddenly got up, preparing to leave.
But Fu Yan Ting grabbed her hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's too stuffy here. I'm going out for some fresh air."
"You're not allowed to leave. Stay and celebrate my birthday with me."
Fu Yan Ting commanded domineeringly.
He Qi: ???
Is this a scene a thirty-year-old "baby" like him should be witnessing?
Fu Yan Ting and Fu Hao were cousins.
And Yan Xi was Fu Hao's wife.
Now, Fu Yan Ting was acting ambiguously with Fu Hao's wife in front of Shi Wen Wen.
Good heavens, even melodramatic idol dramas wouldn't dare to portray this, alright?
As expected, "Brother Yan" of society was ruthless and spoke little.
Yan Xi didn't respond, but her face turned extremely unpleasant.
Fu Yan Ting added, "This is my first birthday since we got married. You have to stay and eat cake with me before you leave."
Damn it!!!
This time, He Qi's brain cells were completely overwhelmed.
He looked at Fu Yan Ting and asked nosily, "Boss Fu, is this little lady your wife?"
"Yes." Fu Yan Ting remained his taciturn self, giving a faint "en."
After a three-second silence, he spoke again, "From now on, call her Sister-in-law. Other terms are not for you to use."
He Qi felt his brain cells completely failing him. He couldn't help but swallow and looked at Fu Yan Ting, saying, "Boss, back in the courtyard just now, why didn't you tell me she was Sister-in-law? You made me misunderstand and say a lot of offensive things to Sister-in-law."
"I did tell you. I said she was the young madam of the Fu family. You were the one with an overactive imagination and thought too much," Fu Yan Ting replied faintly.
He Qi felt like he couldn't express his grievances. He turned to Shi Wen Wen and muttered quietly, "Why didn't you tell me either? You made me misunderstand."
"You were the only one talking from beginning to end. We didn't say anything," Shi Wen Wen shrugged helplessly.
Although she was unwilling, she had to appear generous.
She knew Fu Yan Ting's temperament well. Although the occasion today wasn't formal, the fact that Fu Yan Ting could introduce Yan Xi's identity in front of so many people was enough to prove that he had fallen for Yan Xi.
Shi Wen Wen had to think of other ways to prevent Fu Yan Ting from sinking deeper into Yan Xi.
Fu Yan Ting was hers.
Fu Yan Ting could only be hers.
He Qi had never felt so humiliated. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into and disappear.
"He Qi, you said so many hurtful things to Mrs. Fu. Don't you think you should apologize to her? Hmm?"
Although Fu Yan Ting asked it as a question, the cold glint in his eyes made He Qi shiver involuntarily.
He Qi had never expected that the dignified head of the Fu family would marry such an inconspicuous young girl.
"Sister-in-law, I was blind earlier and offended you. Please don't hold it against me."
He Qi looked at Yan Xi and apologized to her proactively.
Just then, Fu Wen Hai and Li Qin arrived with Fu Hao, who had lost a hand, to confront Fu Yan Ting.
Upon entering and seeing Yan Xi sitting beside Fu Yan Ting, Li Qin became furious. She walked up to Yan Xi, raised her hand, and tried to slap her.
She cursed, "You shameless vixen! You're already married to Yan Ting, why are you still provoking my son? Look at what you've done to my son."
Shi Wen Wen saw that Fu Hao had lost a hand and, without thinking, guessed who was responsible.
She had originally thought that if Fu Yan Ting knew Yan Xi and Fu Hao were a couple, Fu Yan Ting would disdain Yan Xi and divorce her. But she never expected Fu Yan Ting to treat Fu Hao so cruelly.
She had always known Fu Yan Ting's ruthless and merciless nature.
But she hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to go this far for Yan Xi.
Fu Hao's eyes were fixed on Yan Xi, with hurt in them, as the Yan Xi before him made Fu Hao overlook Shi Wen Wen's presence.
Just as Li Qin's hand was raised, before it could fall, it was grabbed by Xin Yi in the next second.
Xin Yi said coldly, "If you don't want to lose a hand like your son, I advise you not to make a scene here."
Li Qin was naturally aware of Fu Yan Ting's ruthless methods.
Although she wanted to avenge Fu Hao and vent her anger, she also wanted to keep herself intact.
Li Qin lowered her hand, looked at Fu Yan Ting, and earnestly advised, "Yan Ting, we are family. We won't harm you. This woman has a motive for marrying you. You must not be deceived by her appearance."
Fu Yan Ting said indifferently, "Xin Yi."
Xin Yi understood immediately. He grabbed Fu Wen Hai and his family of three and threw them out the door.
Li Qin squinted at the house. Now that Fu Yan Ting had awakened, she couldn't just sit back and wait. She had to find some other way to deal with Fu Yan Ting.
