Perhaps, from the very beginning, her relationship with Fu Yan Ting was a mistake.
Yan Xi offered a wry smile of helplessness.
She had once naively believed that she and Fu Yan Ting would go far together.
But reality had dealt her a harsh blow.
Yan Xi's examination was complete, and the bleeding had stopped. However, due to the blood loss, there were signs of miscarriage. Even though the baby in her womb was saved, Yan Xi still had to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.
The nurse took Yan Xi to a general ward. Lying on the hospital bed, Yan Xi stared blankly at the ceiling.
She didn't even notice when Fu Yan Ting entered.
Fu Yan Ting was unaware that Yan Xi's child was still viable. He thought his ferocity had caused Yan Xi to bleed.
Fu Yan Ting was filled with guilt. He looked at Yan Xi, and several times he wanted to apologize, but looking at her, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
He could only gaze at Yan Xi.
"Fu Yan Ting, we are truly not suited to be together. Let's just part on good terms."
Fu Yan Ting's heart tightened. He had done so much for Yan Xi, which was undoubtedly a sign of his care for her.
If he didn't care about Yan Xi, why would he willingly touch her?
But he hadn't expected that Yan Xi still wanted to separate from him.
Fu Yan Ting felt a lump in his throat.
The ward suddenly fell silent, so quiet that one could hear each other's breaths and heartbeats.
Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yan Ting was thinking. She closed her eyes in despair and turned away, ignoring him.
Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open.
He Yun's voice arrived before he did.
"Miss Yan, I heard Yan Ting found you. But why are you in the hospital? Are you injured? You don't know, I've been so regretful these past two days. If only I had gone with you to buy water then, instead of leaving you alone there."
He Yun spoke in one breath, then noticed the tense atmosphere in the ward.
He looked up and met Fu Yan Ting's stern gaze.
He Yun couldn't help but swallow. He was just worried about Yan Xi, and whether Fu Yan Ting would misunderstand him.
He Yun being misunderstood by Fu Yan Ting wouldn't be a big deal. He was worried that Fu Yan Ting might treat Yan Xi badly.
He Yun quickly said, "Yan Ting, you're here too."
"Yan Ting, between Miss Yan and me, it's just..."
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Before He Yun could finish, Yan Xi interrupted him.
Regardless of He Yun's relationship with Yan Xi, there was no need to explain to Fu Yan Ting.
In fact, as early as when Fu Yan Ting forced Yan Xi to come to the hospital for an abortion, Yan Xi had already decided to divorce Fu Yan Ting.
It was just that some events had delayed her divorce.
After this incident, Yan Xi had made a strong resolve. No matter what happened, no matter what, Yan Xi had to divorce Fu Yan Ting.
Even if not for herself, for the baby in her womb, Yan Xi could not continue to stay by Fu Yan Ting's side.
Yan Xi would not put herself in danger again.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting standing at the ward entrance with an extremely grim expression, and Yan Xi ignoring him and interrupting him, the astute He Yun immediately saw that Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting were having a disagreement.
Although he didn't know what had happened between them, He Yun felt that discretion was the better part of valor.
After all, this was a matter between husband and wife.
He Yun couldn't get involved.
As the saying goes, couples quarrel but make up in bed.
If he intervened, it might lead to Fu Yan Ting's misunderstanding and put Yan Xi in a difficult position.
He Yun was quite tactful. Seeing Yan Xi's explanation, He Yun said with a smile, "It's good that you're alright. I should have known that with Yan Ting here, you would surely be safe."
Yan Xi's expression turned extremely unpleasant upon hearing He Yun's words.
After speaking, He Yun turned to leave.
Yan Xi suddenly spoke, calling out to him.
He Yun was puzzled but stopped and turned to look at Yan Xi, waiting for her to speak.
Yan Xi glanced coldly at Fu Yan Ting and said, "I'm talking to my friend, are you going to be an eavesdropper here?"
Good heavens, He Yun broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Yan Xi's words.
Was this a scene he was witnessing for free?
Yan Xi was indeed the woman Fu Yan Ting had set his sights on, to dare speak to Fu Yan Ting with such an attitude.
He Yun suddenly understood where Shi Wen Wen had lost.
Shi Wen Wen had lost because she was too submissive to Fu Yan Ting.
She didn't dare to speak to Fu Yan Ting in such a tone.
He Yun could clearly feel the murderous intent radiating from Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
Fu Yan Ting merely glanced at He Yun before withdrawing his gaze, turning to Yan Xi, and raising an eyebrow, asking in a seemingly good-natured tone, "Can't I?"
"No, you can't. Please leave for a moment."
Fu Yan Ting was burning with anger and had intended to lash out at Yan Xi.
But Fu Yan Ting thought again. He had done something to hurt Yan Xi, and Yan Xi already had a poor impression of him and wanted a divorce.
If he continued to confront Yan Xi head-on, Yan Xi would likely become even more repulsed by him.
Fu Yan Ting looked at Yan Xi, then turned and walked out of the ward.
He Yun's eyes widened further at Fu Yan Ting's behavior.
If he filmed Fu Yan Ting's actions and posted it in their group chat, none of his brothers would believe it was true.
Fu Yan Ting had always been so arrogant, when had he ever bowed to a woman?
After Fu Yan Ting left, Yan Xi looked at He Yun and softly asked, "Can I ask you for a favor?"
He Yun was bewildered. Fu Yan Ting was right there; if Yan Xi wanted anything, she could ask Fu Yan Ting for help. Given Fu Yan Ting's attitude towards Yan Xi, he would surely be eager to do so.
He Yun didn't know what Yan Xi wanted him to do.
But He Yun readily agreed to Yan Xi's request.
Yan Xi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "This isn't a good place to talk. Can I have your phone number? I'll call you after I'm discharged."
He Yun did not refuse, giving Yan Xi his phone number. When Yan Xi called, he also saved Yan Xi's number to his contacts.
Looking at Yan Xi, He Yun said, "Yan Ting is my brother. As long as you don't ask me to do anything against him, I can agree to anything else."
Yan Xi was silent for a moment before responding faintly, "Thank you."
Knowing that Fu Yan Ting was waiting outside the ward, Yan Xi didn't talk much with He Yun. He Yun also didn't linger in the ward for too long.
After saving each other's phone numbers, He Yun left the hospital.
Once He Yun had left, Fu Yan Ting strode back into the ward.
He looked at Yan Xi, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Yan Xi, is this why you want to divorce me?"
Yan Xi was confused and asked blankly, "What?"
