A moment later, Fu Yan Ting walked out of the room.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting rush out, Yan Xiao smiled. She knew very well why he was in such a hurry.
Next, she would go find Yan Xi and make them a pair of ill-fated lovers.
Alas, it was because she was so kind. Since Fu Yan Ting loved Yan Xi so deeply, she would fulfill their wishes.
Fu Yan Ting asked the Yao family's servants for directions to the back mountain and then hurried off.
Yan Xiao took out her phone and recorded a video. She then walked to Yan Xi's room. Yan Xi was preoccupied, her mind focused on the secret in Mr. Yao's voice recorder. She was completely unaware of Yan Xiao's sudden intrusion.
Yan Xiao stood in front of Yan Xi, sneering, "You wretched woman, why don't you die? It's all because of you that Fu Yan Ting got into trouble."
Yan Xi's mind was in a daze. Hearing Fu Yan Ting's name, she instinctively felt that Mr. Yao had targeted Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi's emotions flared, and she anxiously asked, "Explain yourself, what happened to Fu Yan Ting?"
"Someone said you went to the back mountain, and Fu Yan Ting rushed to save you."
Yan Xi was bewildered. What was so urgent about the back mountain? Were there any monsters lurking there?
"Yan Xi, do you have any heart at all? It's been raining lately, and the slopes of the back mountain are very steep and muddy. Many people have lost their lives going there. Fu Yan Ting is going to find you now, and he might be in grave danger too."
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Yan Xi couldn't care about anything else. Her mind couldn't even process the information. She ran out immediately, searching for Fu Yan Ting and praying in her heart that he would be alright.
As long as Fu Yan Ting appeared before her safe and sound, she would be willing to do anything.
Seeing Yan Xi run out so eagerly, Yan Xiao's lips curved upwards.
A smug smile of triumph appeared on her face.
When Yan Xi reached the back mountain, she couldn't find any sign of Fu Yan Ting. Yan Xi called out loudly, but still, there was no response from Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi was truly panicked. Had Fu Yan Ting really met with an accident?
Yan Xi squatted down, hugging her knees. For the first time, she felt so helpless.
Suddenly, an umbrella appeared over Yan Xi's head. Yan Xi looked up and saw a handsome man who looked like he had stepped out of a comic.
"Hello, my name is Xiang Jing Chen," the man said gentlemanly, extending his hand to greet Yan Xi.
Yan Xi stared at Xiang Jing Chen blankly and asked softly, "Hello, have you seen Fu Yan Ting?"
Seeing Yan Xi crying so disheveledly there and asking if he had seen Fu Yan Ting, Xiang Jing Chen jumped to the conclusion that Yan Xi had been abandoned by a man and was now heartbroken, wanting to find the unfaithful fellow.
Xiang Jing Chen gently comforted her, "Young lady, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why cling to one tree? If he doesn't love you, you don't have to be so persistent."
Yan Xi: ???
How did this Xiang Jing Chen see her persistence?
How did he know Fu Yan Ting didn't love her?
Did he have mind-reading abilities?
Or was this all told to him by Yan Xiao, and he was in league with Yan Xiao?
Yan Xi became vigilant. That woman Yan Xiao would do anything to achieve her goals. Yan Xi had to remain clear-headed and keep her distance from this Xiang Jing Chen.
But Xiang Jing Chen was a simple-minded boy who couldn't see Yan Xi's inner thoughts at all. He only knew that Yan Xi had been abandoned by a scumbag and was now heartbroken here alone.
He couldn't understand why this good-looking girl was so stubbornly fixated.
And that man, he was quite something to be able to toy with such a beautiful girl.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jing Chen felt pity for Yan Xi.
"What are you two doing?"
Suddenly, an icy voice cut through the air.
Fu Yan Ting, having been told by Yan Xiao that Yan Xi was in danger, had rushed to find her, fearing that a minute's delay would make Yan Xi scared.
But when he found Yan Xi, she was with another man in the back mountain.
Fu Yan Ting couldn't accept this reality.
No wonder she was so insistent on divorcing him.
As soon as they divorced, she couldn't wait to come to the capital.
So, Yan Xi had already found a new partner.
But he was still here, waiting for Yan Xi to change her mind.
It was truly ridiculous and pathetic.
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's voice, Yan Xi was very excited. Looking at Fu Yan Ting, she asked excitedly, "Fu Yan Ting, are you alright?"
Did this woman wish for him to be in trouble so badly?
Fu Yan Ting's already gloomy eyes became even more indifferent and distant.
Seeing this, Xiang Jing Chen thought that although this man was handsome, he always had a sullen expression, as if the whole world owed him money.
This made him uncomfortable.
He decided to do a good deed and help Yan Xi.
Xiang Jing Chen put his arm around Yan Xi and deliberately boasted in front of Fu Yan Ting, "You must be the scumbag who abandoned her, right? Let me tell you, she doesn't want you anymore. We are together now."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Say that again."
Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting spoke in unison.
Xiang Jing Chen was startled by their gazes. He reassured himself, "Don't be afraid, I'm a warrior fighting for justice. A mere scumbag is nothing to be afraid of."
After cheering himself up, Xiang Jing Chen looked at Fu Yan Ting and said word by word, "Do you think you abandoned her? Actually, she abandoned you. She cheated on you long ago."
Fu Yan Ting's expression could no longer be described as merely grim.
Yan Xi's eyes widened in disbelief. Where did this chuunibyo come from? Was his brain waterlogged? They had just met, and she only knew his name from his self-introduction.
How could they have gotten together long ago?
What's more, Xiang Jing Chen was someone who wasn't afraid of escalating things. He looked at Yan Xi, winked at her, and deliberately said loudly in front of Fu Yan Ting, "My dear, don't be afraid. What's Fu Yan Ting compared to me? I'll take care of him for you."
After speaking, he turned to Fu Yan Ting and said word by word, "To be honest, she's already pregnant with my child."
At this point, Xiang Jing Chen saw Fu Yan Ting's ashen face and knew that any man, any normal man, would not tolerate being cuckolded.
Little did he know, Fu Yan Ting remembered Yan Xi's reaction during her previous miscarriage.
At that time, Fu Yan Ting thought the child Yan Xi was carrying was his. But now, Fu Yan Ting realized that he had been overthinking things.
