Yan Xi had been resting with her eyes closed, but the sound at the door made her eyes snap open, her heart accelerating.
Had Fu Yan Ting arrived?
Was he… here to rescue her?
Yan Xi's joy was evident. She hurried to the door, awaiting Fu Yan Ting's rescue.
To Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting was her world. He was omnipotent; as long as Fu Yan Ting was there, she was sure to be saved.
Excited, Yan Xi rushed to the door. Just as she was about to open it, she heard the man’s voice outside.
“Is she dead?”
This “she” must have referred to Yan Xi. Yan Xi stood there blankly, wanting to leave but her body refusing to obey.
She knew this voice all too well. It was Fu Yan Ting’s. So, the one who had always wanted her dead wasn't Shi Wen Wen, but Fu Yan Ting.
At first, Shi Wen Wen had kidnapped her, claiming it was all Fu Yan Ting’s arrangement. Yan Xi hadn't believed her, thinking Shi Wen Wen was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi had been unwilling to admit that Fu Yan Ting could be so heartless and cruel.
Yan Xi had even deluded herself into thinking that Fu Yan Ting had feelings for her.
But just now, hearing Fu Yan Ting’s voice with her own ears, her heart turned to ice.
The last shred of love she had for Fu Yan Ting had transformed into hatred.
“Yan Ting, she’s still alive, right in this room. Without your command, how could I dare lay a hand on her.”
“The Fu family has a rule: no divorce. I want to marry you. She can only die.”
Fu Yan Ting’s words were like a stab to the heart.
Yan Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
So, Fu Yan Ting’s talk of their marriage being for over a year was all a lie. He had deliberately said that to stabilize her emotions.
Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair, tears rolling down her cheeks.
The voices outside the door suddenly ceased.
Yan Xi heard the sound of the door opening. To conceal her state, she quickly ran to the bed. As she opened the door, Shi Wen Wen entered, wearing high heels.
Shi Wen Wen stood by the bed, looking down at Yan Xi, and said coldly, “Stop pretending. I have a surveillance feed here, and I know you heard everything I and Yan Ting just said.”
Since Shi Wen Wen had put it so plainly, Yan Xi saw no need to hide anymore.
She sat up, looked at Shi Wen Wen, and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
“You’re asking the wrong person. It’s not what I want, it’s Yan Ting. He wants you dead.”
Yan Xi closed her eyes, trying to calm her emotions. No matter what, she couldn't harm the child in her womb.
Yan Xi tried her best to remain calm. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shi Wen Wen looking at her with a triumphant smirk.
Yan Xi said coldly, "Where is Fu Yan Ting? I want to see him."
“Yan Xi, do you really think you’re Mrs. Fu? Do you think he’ll see you just because you want to? Don’t flatter yourself. Yan Ting doesn’t want to see you at all.”
Seeing Shi Wen Wen’s feigned act and smelling her overpowering perfume, Yan Xi’s stomach churned. She tried to control herself, but she couldn't hold back and vomited, spewing it all over Shi Wen Wen.
Shi Wen Wen looked at her expensive dress, now soiled by Yan Xi’s vomit.
Her anger instantly flared.
This dress was a birthday gift from Fu Yan Ting.
Although Fu Yan Ting had given Shi Wen Wen his secondary card and told her to pick whatever she liked as a birthday present,
In Shi Wen Wen's mind, this was a gift from Fu Yan Ting.
Shi Wen Wen cherished this dress and was reluctant to wear it.
She had worn it today to show off to Yan Xi.
But she hadn't expected that Yan Xi, this cunning woman, would vomit all over her.
Shi Wen Wen was a germaphobe. Covered in vomit, she wanted to erupt in anger, but the smell was too unbearable. She couldn't stand it and quickly ran out of the room to change.
Shi Wen Wen washed herself several times until she felt the smell was completely gone, yet she still felt disgusted. After changing into a new outfit, she returned to Yan Xi’s room, only to find that Yan Xi was nowhere to be seen.
Shi Wen Wen frowned.
Yan Xi couldn't be allowed to see Fu Yan Ting, otherwise her plan would be ruined.
Shi Wen Wen’s unwillingness was evident in her eyes.
She had gone to great lengths to make Yan Xi misunderstand Fu Yan Ting and separate from him.
Only then would Shi Wen Wen have a chance to get close to Fu Yan Ting and become the young madam of the Fu family.
And now, all her efforts were in vain.
Shi Wen Wen found Shi Kai Nan and informed him of Yan Xi's escape.
Shi Kai Nan frowned, then said calmly, “It’s alright. She’s pregnant, so she can’t walk fast. Even if she returns to Fu Yan Ting, there’s nothing to fear. We still have a trump card. It’s time to let him make his move.”
Shi Wen Wen had been very flustered inwardly, but hearing Shi Kai Nan’s words, her heart gradually calmed down.
Ever since she was a child, Shi Kai Nan had helped her obtain whatever she desired.
She believed he could help her this time as well.
Yan Xi didn't know how she managed to get back to the villa.
When Fu Yan Ting heard from He Yun that Yan Xi had been kidnapped, he had been somewhat worried, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Xin Yi to search for her whereabouts.
But before Xin Yi could return, Yan Xi came back on her own. This made Fu Yan Ting suspect that Yan Xi hadn't been kidnapped but had run away on her own.
He then recalled what He Yun had told him a few days prior.
Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely grim.
However, thinking that Yan Xi had only just returned, he suppressed his anger and calmly asked her questions.
Fu Yan Ting told himself that if Yan Xi explained honestly where she had been hiding for the past two days and admitted her mistake, he would forgive her and live a good life with her.
Fu Yan Ting waited, his eyes burning as he stared at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi sensed Fu Yan Ting’s gaze and averted her eyes, ignoring him.
Yan Xi asked indifferently, "Fu Yan Ting, where were you today?"
Fu Yan Ting was taken aback. Not only had Yan Xi not confessed her mistake, but she was now interrogating him.
Fu Yan Ting's anger surged instantly, and he said coldly, "Why do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"
Yan Xi had been waiting. She wanted to ask him in person if he had met Shi Wen Wen today and if Fu Yan Ting had orchestrated her kidnapping.
Yan Xi had even made up her mind. As long as Fu Yan Ting denied it,
Yan Xi would choose to believe him and give him another chance.
