Chapter 62 He Was Still a Step Too Late
Fu Yan Ting did not rush to leave. He sat in the car and lit a cigarette.
A year ago, when he had his accident, Shi Kai Nan was definitely not the mastermind. Whether he was involved or not, that remained to be seen.
Now, it seemed Shi Kai Nan had sided with that person.
Fu Yan Ting could not just wait for death. He had to find a solution.
As for Yan Xi and Yan Yi, if he didn't let them go, they would remain in danger.
To ensure their safety, Fu Yan Ting could only bear with it himself for now. He would pretend to divorce Yan Xi, and Yan Xi would take Yan Yi away.
Once he found out the mastermind behind all this, he would reconcile with Yan Xi.
Xin Yi was Fu Yan Ting's hidden guard and had many things to handle for him. He could not be by Yan Xi's side 24/7.
Yan Xi was very sensitive. If he sent someone to protect her secretly 24 hours a day, she would definitely become suspicious.
Fu Yan Ting did not want to put any pressure on Yan Xi's mind.
After much deliberation, Fu Yan Ting decided to find someone trustworthy to keep Yan Xi company. This way, Yan Xi would not be suspicious or angry.
But among the people around him, Fu Yan Ting thought about it. Han Zhen was a playboy. He wouldn't feel at ease leaving him by Yan Xi's side. Han Zhen might just give in to his animalistic instincts one day and make a move on Yan Xi.
He couldn't send Yan Xi into the mouth of a tiger.
What about Tang Jin?
Although Tang Jin wasn't a playboy, he had a fiancée. Moreover, the Tang family's background was very complicated.
If Tang Jin helped him take care of Yan Xi, his fiancée would definitely misunderstand. Tang Jin had worked hard to get to where he was in the Tang family. Fu Yan Ting couldn't ruin all of Tang Jin's years of effort.
As for He Qi, he was an illegitimate son of the He family and was very close to Shi Wen Wen.
He Yun, though the eldest young master of the He family, did not have a fiancée and his family background was not as complicated as the Tang family's.
However, Fu Yan Ting could see that He Yun treated Yan Xi differently.
If he handed Yan Xi over to He Yun's care, he worried that He Yun would fall deeper and deeper, eventually betraying their brotherhood.
And if he didn't choose He Yun, he wouldn't feel at ease with anyone else.
Fu Yan Ting was silent for a moment. In the end, he decided to let He Yun protect Yan Xi.
He called He Yun and asked him to meet.
Since He Yun visited Yan Xi in the hospital last time, they had not been in contact.
He Yun knew that Fu Yan Ting had become suspicious of what happened last time.
Today, Fu Yan Ting took the initiative to contact He Yun, and He Yun did not know why.
However, He Yun was not surprised by this call from Fu Yan Ting.
What was bound to come would eventually come.
He Yun sighed silently, then answered the phone.
In a private room at a bar.
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting remained silent, He Yun finally couldn't hold back and said, "Yan Ting, regarding Miss Yan and I, it's just..."
"He Yun, you and I are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. I know you very well."
Fu Yan Ting's simple sentence interrupted all the excuses He Yun had prepared.
He Yun knew that nothing could be hidden from Fu Yan Ting.
However, this was all his own one-sided wishful thinking.
It had nothing to do with Yan Xi.
If Fu Yan Ting wanted to blame someone, let him blame him.
Just don't involve Yan Xi.
"He Yun, I asked you to meet today because I have something to ask of you."
He Yun looked up at Fu Yan Ting. Seeing his serious expression, He Yun knew he wasn't joking.
He Yun nodded and said, "Okay, tell me what it is. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Fu Yan Ting was silent for a moment, then said faintly, "A year ago, when I had my accident and became a vegetable, I suspect Shi Kai Nan was also involved. Now that I'm awake, he's made a move against Yan Xi, trying to use her to threaten me."
"Damn it, this Shi Kai Nan. The first time I saw him, I thought he was untrustworthy, too greedy for profit."
The upper-class circle was quite small.
They often participated in various charity events and banquets.
Therefore, He Yun knew of Shi Kai Nan.
However, birds of a feather flock together, and he and Fu Yan Ting were close, but his relationship with Shi Kai Nan was very ordinary.
He Yun had always known that Shi Kai Nan was ambitious, but he didn't expect him to make a move against Fu Yan Ting.
If it was true, as Fu Yan Ting said, that Shi Kai Nan was involved in his accident a year ago, then he didn't know if Shi Wen Wen was aware of this.
"Yan Ting, what are you planning to do? What do you need me to do? Just say the word, and I'll definitely help you."
After hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, He Yun was even angrier than Fu Yan Ting.
At the same time, he felt lucky for Fu Yan Ting. Fortunately, the woman Fu Yan Ting married was not Shi Wen Wen. If he had married Shi Wen Wen, the consequences would have been even more unimaginable.
"Shi Kai Nan doesn't have that capability. The mastermind is someone else. Shi Kai Nan is just a pawn being used."
Fu Yan Ting said calmly.
He Yun was confused. If that was the case, why was Fu Yan Ting asking for his help?
What did Fu Yan Ting want him to do?
"He Yun, I'm planning to separate from Yan Xi for a while. I hope you can stay by Yan Xi's side during this time. I don't trust anyone else to be with her. Only if you're there can I feel at ease."
He Yun had thought that Fu Yan Ting had noticed his little feelings for Yan Xi. It turned out Fu Yan Ting had asked him to meet for this reason.
He Yun was also relieved.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at He Yun calmly. To prevent He Yun from developing feelings for Yan Xi and to avoid unnecessary trouble,
Fu Yan Ting actually started to lie.
He looked at He Yun and lied without batting an eye, "Yan Xi is pregnant and cannot be stimulated. You stay by her side and report any changes to me immediately."
He Yun was stunned. He hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to even tell him about Yan Xi's pregnancy.
Fu Yan Ting telling him this news was probably out of fear that he would fall in love with Yan Xi and confess his feelings.
He Yun smiled wryly to himself.
So Yan Xi's constant vomiting by the roadside last time wasn't due to motion sickness, but just a reaction to her pregnancy.
However, this was also normal. Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting were husband and wife, so Yan Xi getting pregnant was a very normal thing.
But his heart ached faintly.
If only he had met Yan Xi first, how good would that have been?
If he had met Yan Xi first, he would definitely not have let her suffer any grievances, and he would have treated her doubly well.
It was just a pity that he was still a step too late.
He Yun felt a sense of helplessness.
He felt differently about Yan Xi. Now, an opportunity presented itself for him to openly care for Yan Xi, but Yan Xi was Fu Yan Ting's wife, and she was even carrying Fu Yan Ting's child.
He could only protect Yan Xi as a friend and could not harbor any improper thoughts about her.
After Fu Yan Ting finished speaking, he secretly observed He Yun's reaction.
