Yan Xi suddenly felt that what Fu Yan Ting said was not without reason.
She also felt that someone like Yan Xiao would never take her own life impulsively.
If the Yao family wanted to use Yan Xiao to threaten Fu Yan Ting, it depended on whether Fu Yan Ting was willing.
Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards.
Just as he was about to explain to Yan Xi, a crazy woman suddenly rushed in, shoved Fu Yan Ting aside, and shielded Yan Xi behind her like a hen protecting her chicks, scolding, "You pervert, stay away from my sister."
Having known the Yao family for so many years, Fu Yan Ting had no idea they had a lunatic in their midst.
Seeing that this lunatic didn't seem like a bad person, but still, she was his wife, and he was embracing his own wife. Was that also not allowed?
Fu Yan Ting's brow furrowed, a look of displeasure evident in his expression.
Yan Xi knew Fu Yan Ting was angry. She explained softly, "Don't argue with her, she's also very pitiful."
Pitiful?
In the Yao family, there were no pitiful people, Fu Yan Ting thought to himself. However, seeing how Yan Xi was protecting this woman, Fu Yan Ting didn't say anything more.
Fu Yan Ting left Yan Xi's room.
Yao Wan Qi gave Yan Xi a gentle smile and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Yan Xi really wanted to explain to Yao Wan Qi that she wasn't her sister and that she had mistaken her for someone else. But every time, Yan Xi didn't know how to bring it up.
Fu Yan Ting went directly to the hospital. In the ward, although Yan Xiao had been resuscitated, she was still very weak.
Hearing footsteps, Yan Xiao opened her eyes. Seeing Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xiao said excitedly, "What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?"
"You caused such a commotion, wasn't it just to make me and Yan Xi feel guilty and push us to the trending searches? Since you want to play, I'll play along with you properly."
Fu Yan Ting said indifferently. Although his voice was light, Yan Xiao couldn't help but worry.
Fu Yan Ting was not someone easy to deal with. Yan Xiao didn't know what Fu Yan Ting was going to do to her.
Yan Xiao asked cautiously, "Fu Yan Ting, what are you going to do to me?"
Fu Yan Ting ignored Yan Xiao, his lips curling upwards into a bloodthirsty smile.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting smile, Yan Xiao's fear intensified. Fu Yan Ting not smiling was better.
His smile only made Yan Xiao more afraid.
"Fu Yan Ting, I warn you, don't act rashly. If you dare to act rashly, the Yao family will not let you go."
Yan Xiao didn't know her exact position in the Yao family, but she couldn't just watch Fu Yan Ting make a move on her.
Fu Yan Ting understood Mr. Yao better than Yan Xiao did. Of course, he knew what kind of person Mr. Yao was. Therefore, when he heard Yan Xiao's words, he remained calm and sneered.
Yan Xi was bored at the Yao family's house. Yao Wan Qi dragged her to the backyard to play. Yan Xi was helpless. Moreover, although Yao Wan Qi was a bit erratic, she was kind and gentle. For some reason, Yan Xi felt a strange sense of closeness when she saw Yao Wan Qi.
This feeling was inexplicable. They had never met before, yet in Yan Xi's heart, it felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
In the backyard, Yao Wan Qi held Yan Xi's hand and whispered, "Sister, I've planted many stars under this big tree. Each star is filled with my secrets."
How could stars be planted under a big tree?
And how would Yao Wan Qi know what secrets were?
Yan Xi didn't pay much attention to Yao Wan Qi's words, thinking she was just talking nonsense.
However, Yao Wan Qi earnestly dug open the soil under the big tree, revealing a star jar filled with stars. Yao Wan Qi opened the jar and, as if presenting a treasure, said to Yan Xi, "Sister, look, these are all my secrets. I don't tell just anyone, I'm only telling you."
Seeing Yao Wan Qi's current state, she probably wouldn't be folding stars or making wishes anymore. These must be things she did when she was still sane.
It was like any young girl experiencing her first love. But even so, Yan Xi smiled and went along with Yao Wan Qi, opening the star papers and examining Yao Wan Qi's secrets.
To Yan Xi's astonishment, Yao Wan Qi's handwriting was beautiful.
Yan Xi glanced at Yao Wan Qi. Yao Wan Qi eagerly asked, "Sister, how is it?"
Yan Xi felt that Yao Wan Qi must have been a talented woman in the past. She didn't know what had happened to Yao Wan Qi to make her this way, but Yan Xi felt a pang of sympathy for her.
Yao Wan Qi's secrets were actually very simple. Each star paper was written with the same sentence: "I miss you so much."
Upon reaching the end, Yan Xi finally discovered a different secret within a star made from candy wrapper.
This candy wrapper contained another layer of star paper, on which a line of text was written.
"Ah Feng, I've given birth to a pair of children for you. They are twins, a boy and a girl. They both look very much like you. You will love them dearly when you see them."
Yan Xi looked at Yao Wan Qi, not knowing how to comfort her.
Yao Wan Qi carefully refolded each star paper like a precious item and put them back into the star jar.
Yao Wan Qi placed the star jar back in its original spot and covered it with soil.
Seeing Yao Wan Qi like this, Yan Xi had many things she wanted to say, but didn't know how to express them. In the end, she could only help Yao Wan Qi bury her secrets deep in the soil.
Suddenly, Yan Xi's sharp eyes noticed a pen in the nearby soil.
Yan Xi was puzzled. Why would a pen be buried here?
Driven by curiosity, Yan Xi picked up the pen and was surprised to find that it wasn't an ordinary pen, but a voice recorder.
Yan Xi turned on the voice recorder. It still had power.
Mr. Yao's voice came from the recorder.
"Did you do what I asked you to do? Why is he still alive?"
Yan Xi felt a vague sense of unease, always feeling that this Mr. Yao was not simple.
Yan Xi was about to continue listening when suddenly, Mr. Yao appeared behind her and asked coldly, "Miss Yan, what are you doing?"
Yan Xi instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Mr. Yao even saw the voice recorder in Yan Xi's hand.
Mr. Yao narrowed his eyes, a fierce killing intent glinting within them.
"Miss Yan, I originally intended to spare you out of respect for Fu Yan Ting. But unfortunately, you have discovered my secret, and you must die."
Mr. Yao slowly walked towards Yan Xi and smiled at her kindly, but Yan Xi felt a shiver run down her spine.
Mr. Yao took the voice recorder from Yan Xi's hand and gave his bodyguard a look. The bodyguard understood and grabbed Yan Xi.
