Yan Xi was taken to a villa on a relatively secluded mountainside.
After getting out of the car, Yan Xi saw Shi Wenwen.
She was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun.
Upon seeing Yan Xi, Shi Wenwen's lips curved upwards slightly, as if everything was unfolding according to her plan.
Yan Xi frowned. She was naturally familiar with Shi Wenwen and knew about her relationship with Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi realized that Shi Wenwen was the one who had kidnapped her today.
"Miss Yan, it's been a while."
Shi Wenwen stood up and greeted Yan Xi with poise.
Yan Xi didn't feel there was anything to exchange pleasantries about with Shi Wenwen and ignored her.
Shi Wenwen's pride was slightly wounded, but she quickly recovered. Looking at Yan Xi, she said with a cold smile, "Yan Xi, do you really consider yourself the young madam of the Fu family?"
It was said that enemies in love glare with fire in their eyes.
Yan Xi did not believe Shi Wenwen would be so kind as to greet her proactively.
As expected, Shi Wenwen couldn't hold back any longer and spoke again.
Yan Xi still did not respond. She raised her eyes, her gaze fixed on Shi Wenwen, wanting to see what exactly Shi Wenwen intended to do.
"Back then, it was Grandmother who arranged your marriage to Yan Ting. She liked me very much and didn't want to implicate me. After all, with Yan Ting's condition, doctors could do nothing, saying he might be in a vegetative state for life. That's why Grandmother arranged for you to marry Yan Ting."
"If you truly loved Fu Yan Ting, you should have married him regardless of the cost. Now that we are already married, you come to tell me this. Do you think it's interesting?" Yan Xi sneered. Growing up in the Yan family, Yan Xiao was a typical example of a "green tea" character.
Yan Xi was already well-versed in the tactics of "green tea" characters and knew how to retaliate.
Shi Wenwen did not expect Yan Xi to be so sharp-tongued and to fight back.
However, if Yan Xi thought that this would defeat Shi Wenwen, she was gravely mistaken.
Shi Wenwen sneered, "Do you think I didn't want to? When you married Yan Ting, I was on a business trip. By the time I returned, you two already..."
At this point, Shi Wenwen looked at Yan Xi with intense hatred in her eyes.
It was as if Yan Xi were the mistress who had interfered in her relationship with Fu Yan Ting.
"That only shows that you and Fu Yan Ting are fated to be apart, with deep feelings but shallow destiny. Even if it weren't me, there would be other women marrying him."
Shi Wenwen did not expect Yan Xi to be so shamelessly defiant, snatching her man and then standing her ground against her so righteously.
However, Shi Wenwen looked at Yan Xi's abdomen and sneered.
If this momentary pleasure could be given to Yan Xi, then let her have it.
Since Shi Wenwen had already kidnapped Yan Xi, she would not let Yan Xi live on.
Both Yan Xi and the child in her womb had to die.
A ruthless glint flashed in Shi Wenwen's eyes, her gaze like a coiling venomous snake.
Yan Xi glanced at Shi Wenwen calmly. She was startled by the look in Shi Wenwen's eyes. Yan Xi knew that Shi Wenwen would not let her go.
Therefore, she had to find a way to escape from here.
Shi Wenwen suddenly walked up to Yan Xi, looking down at her, and said coldly, "Yan Ting is my man. Anyone who tries to snatch Yan Ting from me will not have a good end."
After speaking, Shi Wenwen looked at Yan Xi coldly and said mockingly, "Don't think that just because you married Yan Ting, he will fall in love with you. Let me tell you the truth, today's events were all planned by Yan Ting himself."
Yan Xi's eyes widened as she stared at Shi Wenwen, disbelieving that Fu Yan Ting could be so cruel to her.
"If you want to deceive yourself, there's nothing I can do."
After saying this, Shi Wenwen walked away in her high heels.
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly. She could not sit and wait for death; she had to find a way to escape.
Fu Yan Ting, is it you?
Is it really you who wants to kill me?
Yan Xi asked silently in her heart.
At this moment, Yan Xi wished Fu Yan Ting were by her side, telling her that this was all Shi Wenwen's doing and that he never intended to harm her.
If Yan Xi had not fallen in love with Fu Yan Ting, perhaps she would not be so heartbroken right now.
He Jun had intended to find Yan Xi through his own means, but Yan Xi seemed to have vanished into thin air. Even with surveillance footage, he couldn't find any trace of her.
He Jun's brow furrowed. He had wanted to find Yan Xi without alarming Fu Yan Ting, relying on his own abilities.
But he realized that the other party seemed to be even more unfathomable than him.
He Jun dared not gamble with Yan Xi's safety. Reluctantly, he had no choice but to go to Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting gave He Jun a cold glance and remained silent.
He Jun had been friends with Fu Yan Ting for many years, yet he still couldn't fathom Fu Yan Ting's inner thoughts.
He didn't know what Fu Yan Ting's feelings for Yan Xi truly were.
If Fu Yan Ting cared about Yan Xi, why was he so calm sitting here, indifferent, when he was told that Yan Xi had been kidnapped?
But if one were to say that Fu Yan Ting didn't care about Yan Xi, then they, his brothers, could all feel that Fu Yan Ting had changed significantly since marrying Yan Xi.
He had become much more human.
"Yan Ting, what are you thinking about?"
He Jun couldn't help but ask.
Fu Yan Ting pursed his lips and opened them slightly, saying, "I'm wondering when you and my wife became so familiar?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "my wife."
He Jun understood Fu Yan Ting's meaning and explained the situation.
"Alright, I know. You can leave now."
Fu Yan Ting said in a detached and distant tone.
He Jun wanted to ask for clarification, what exactly was Fu Yan Ting thinking? Would he go and rescue Yan Xi?
But when he met Fu Yan Ting's gaze, He Jun realized that he had no right to inquire about Yan Xi's situation.
He Jun wisely left.
After He Jun left, Fu Yan Ting finally spoke, "Xin Yi."
Xin Yi understood immediately, knowing what Fu Yan Ting wanted him to do.
Xin Yi nodded and then turned to leave the villa.
Fu Yan Ting's eyes cast a sinister gaze out the window, his戾气 (fierceness/aggression) increasing rather than decreasing.
Previously, when Yan Xi had been close to Fu Hao, Fu Yan Ting had warned her to stay away from men and to remember her identity.
But now, she was acquainted with He Jun.
It seemed his punishment for her had been too light, making her forget her place.
Zhang Ma had wanted to talk to Fu Yan Ting about Yan Xi, but seeing how angry Fu Yan Ting was, Zhang Ma worried that he would become even more furious.
After much internal debate, Zhang Ma decided not to tell Fu Yan Ting for now. She quietly left.
Inside the villa.
Shi Wenwen deliberately stood outside Yan Xi's room and said softly, "Yan Ting, why are you only arriving now? I've been waiting for you for so long."
