"Does your face hurt?" Fu Yan Ting stared at Yan Xi's slapped face and asked.
Fu Yan Ting ignored He Rou's words.
He Rou was a senior figure, and her pride was wounded, her face turning extremely ugly.
Yan Xi's heart pounded. Didn't Fu Yan Ting not believe her?
Hadn't he taken Xia Shi Yu to the hospital?
Why was he here?
Seeing Yan Xi didn't answer his question, Fu Yan Ting directly took her hand and left the He family.
As they reached the entrance, Fu Yan Ting said indifferently, "Your He family's hospitality is truly beyond reproach. Regarding the bid three days from now, I will no longer go easy on you."
This one sentence made Old Mr. He instantly collapse.
It was known that the bid three days later was optional for Fu Yan Ting, but for the He family, it was a necessity.
Otherwise, the He family would be finished.
He Rou hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to be so protective of Yan Xi. What was their relationship?
She had been counting on Xia Shi Yu marrying Fu Yan Ting so that her family could use the Fu family as a backing, and their status within the He family would soar.
However, He Rou never expected Yan Xi, who had appeared out of nowhere, to snatch her away.
He Rou watched the backs of Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi as they left, her hands clenched into tight fists.
"This matter originated with you. If you can't resolve it, then the position of General Manager will have to change hands."
Old Mr. He shot He Rou a cold glance, showing no paternal affection as he spoke coldly.
He had gone to such great lengths to hold his birthday banquet today, all for the certainty of winning the bid in three days.
All his efforts, only to be ruined by Xia Shi Yu and He Rou.
"From now on, if anyone lays a hand on you, don't just stand there. Fight back. Remember, this is Yan Cheng. I will support you no matter what happens."
Leaving the He family, Fu Yan Ting said calmly.
Yan Xi was startled, then she understood that Fu Yan Ting was speaking to her.
Yan Xi couldn't help but ask herself silently.
What kind of person was Fu Yan Ting?
Every time Fu Yan Ting was cruel to her, and Yan Xi decided to leave, he would treat her so well that she couldn't bear to leave him.
Yan Xi gave a wry smile and ignored Fu Yan Ting's words.
Fu Yan Ting knew Yan Xi had been wronged at the He family's today. Since Yan Xi wasn't responding to him, he didn't say anything further.
When they reached the entrance, Fu Yan Ting went to get the car, and Yan Xi waited for him.
Suddenly, He Xue Feng appeared, rushing forward and embracing Yan Xi.
He said excitedly, "Wan Qi, I finally found you. I knew you wouldn't abandon me."
This was the second time Yan Xi had encountered this madman from the He family.
Yan Xi knew that this madman had mistaken her for someone else, thinking she was the woman named Wan Qi.
Yan Xi didn't respond, just moved aside.
He Xue Feng spoke again, "Yao Wan Qi, why are you so heartless? Are you really going to abandon me?"
Yao Wan Qi?
The surname Yao was uncommon, and in the distant capital, there was a Yao family.
Yan Xi couldn't help but recall what Yan Xiao had told her a few days ago, that she was now a young lady from the Yao family in the capital.
Seeing that He Xue Feng was delirious and mistook her for Yao Wan Qi, Yan Xi decided to try and elicit some information from him.
Before Yan Xi could ask anything, Fu Yan Ting arrived.
He Xue Feng saw Fu Yan Ting and immediately became wary, pointing at him and questioning, "Wan Qi, did you abandon me and elope with him just because this man is rich?"
Fu Yan Ting's gaze was sharp as he looked at Yan Xi. This woman was truly attracting trouble all the time.
First He Yun, and now another man.
He Xue Feng's existence was a disgrace to the He family, so almost no one outside knew of him.
Even Fu Yan Ting didn't know that the man before him was He Yun's own uncle.
Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
He glanced at Yan Xi and said indifferently, "Get in the car."
Yan Xi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
The entire way, Yan Xi could feel Fu Yan Ting's displeasure.
But now, Yan Xi didn't have the mood to worry about Fu Yan Ting. She was pondering a question.
Why had Yan Xiao suddenly transformed into a young lady from the Yao family in the capital?
Also, what was the relationship between the Yao family in the capital and the He family?
Why did this He Xue Feng mistake her for Yao Wan Qi?
There seemed to be no connection, yet it also seemed inseparable.
Yan Xi pondered this question the entire way, completely ignoring Fu Yan Ting's gaze.
Fu Yan Ting became even more displeased. This woman was constantly tempting men, and now she wouldn't even offer an explanation.
It seemed he needed to do something to remind Yan Xi that she was a married woman.
Fu Yan Ting's expression was extremely grim the whole way. Finally, they arrived home. As soon as Fu Yan Ting stopped the car, he walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and without any gentleness, pulled Yan Xi out and directly into the bedroom.
Zhang Ma saw Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi leave separately but return together. However, Fu Yan Ting's expression was not good.
She wondered if they had had another disagreement.
"Fu Yan Ting, what are you doing? You're hurting me."
Yan Xi didn't understand why Fu Yan Ting was acting like this.
This man truly changed his mood faster than he could flip a page.
Yan Xi didn't know what she had done to provoke him into such a rage.
Fu Yan Ting ignored Yan Xi's words.
Yan Xi was angry and couldn't overpower Fu Yan Ting, so she could only retort for the moment.
"Fu Yan Ting, you're really sick."
As soon as Yan Xi finished speaking, Fu Yan Ting dragged her into the bedroom. He closed the door, looked down at Yan Xi, and said with a cold smile, "You're right, I am sick. But that's no excuse for your promiscuity."
What was Fu Yan Ting talking about? Promiscuity? Yan Xi's mind was a mess, she couldn't seem to understand what Fu Yan Ting was saying.
How was she promiscuous?
Fu Yan Ting threw Yan Xi onto the bed and then proceeded to take his fill.
He didn't know what was happening to him.
He was usually irritable, and he could control his emotions well, but every time he encountered Yan Xi, he found that he completely lost control of his temper.
Fu Yan Ting began to kiss Yan Xi's cheeks. Suddenly, he tasted salty, crystalline tears on his lips, and Fu Yan Ting regained his senses.
So, he had made Yan Xi so sad and pained.
Fu Yan Ting let go of Yan Xi, got up, and left.
Hearing the car horn outside, Yan Xi finally couldn't hold back and broke down in tears.
Yan Xi cried for an unknown amount of time. Exhausted from crying, she fell asleep on the bed.
As for Fu Yan Ting, he didn't return all night.
The next day!
Early in the morning, after Yan Xi woke up, Zhang Ma's eyes were evasive, as if she was hiding something from Yan Xi.
