"Regarding this matter, didn't you already know it early on? You even chose to marry me when I was in a coma," Fu Yan Ting said indifferently, but the sarcasm in his words was direct.
Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting was still dwelling on the events of five years ago.
"Honestly, you still can't hold back. Back then, seeing how good you were to me, I almost believed you loved me. I was even prepared to transfer two-thirds of my family fortune to your name. But you abandoned me for Xiang Jing Chen. Now Xiang Jing Chen is married, but the bride isn't you."
Yan Xi's relationship with Xiang Jing Chen was not at all what Fu Yan Ting imagined. Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting had misunderstood her relationship with Xiang Jing Chen. However, Yan Xi had no intention of explaining to Fu Yan Ting. Perhaps, for many things, the outcome was predetermined from the start. Since Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting were fated to be apart, she would let Fu Yan Ting misunderstand her for the rest of his life.
"Fu Yan Ting, you should know that I'm not here today to reminisce about the past. I'm here for my son. Where is he? I want to take him home."
Upon hearing Yan Xi's words, Fu Yan Ting's smile became even more pronounced. He said indifferently, "Yan Xi, I told you your son is sleeping in my office, but I never agreed to let you take him away."
Fu Yan Ting's words were clearly an act of playing unreasonable. Yan Xi's brows furrowed, and she said indifferently, "Fu Yan Ting, what exactly do you want?"
"Spend one more night with me, and I promise your son will return to you unharmed." The implication was that if Yan Xi refused, Fu Yan Ting didn't know what he would do to Yan Zi Tong.
Yan Xi was already angry, and now she became even more furious. She raised her hand to slap Fu Yan Ting. But as soon as Yan Xi raised her hand, Fu Yan Ting grabbed it.
Fu Yan Ting said coldly, "What? You still want to hit me? Do you think I'll still dote on you like five years ago and let you do as you please?"
"Fu Yan Ting, you are truly despicable and shameless." Yan Xi trembled with anger, her voice laced with tears. Yan Xi had not cried even during the most difficult times over the years, but now, when Fu Yan Ting threatened her using Yan Zi Tong, Yan Xi cried. Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting was a man of his word. Yan Xi was genuinely worried about Yan Zi Tong's safety.
Just as Yan Xi stood before Fu Yan Ting, trembling with anger, Yan Zi Tong woke up. He didn't know what had transpired between Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting. However, seeing Yan Xi wiping her tears, Yan Zi Tong became indignant. He looked coldly at Fu Yan Ting, knowing that the "scumbag" must have bullied his mother to make her cry. His mother never shed tears before. As expected, scumbags were indeed scumbags. Yan Zi Tong's anger towards Fu Yan Ting soared. Without a second thought, he swung his fist at Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting, who was facing Yan Xi, was caught off guard and received a punch from Yan Zi Tong. Fu Yan Ting remained unfazed. Looking at Yan Xi, he said calmly, "The choice is yours. You know that his unauthorized entry into my office constitutes commercial crime. Furthermore, he just assaulted me, which is a physical attack. If I decide to pursue it, no matter how young he is, I have the means to make him pay dearly."
Yan Xi knew that Yan Cheng was Fu Yan Ting's territory. For the sake of her son, Yan Xi had no choice but to yield. Yan Xi sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, I agree to your terms, but I want you to let my son go first."
Yan Zi Tong didn't know what Yan Xi had agreed to with the "scumbag." He looked at Yan Xi, and his tender voice rang out, "Mom, don't agree to the scumbag's unreasonable demands. I'll protect you." Yan Zi Tong didn't fully understand the adult conversation, but facing Yan Xi's statement about agreeing to Fu Yan Ting's demands, Yan Zi Tong's intuition told him it wouldn't be anything good. He didn't want his mother to compromise herself for him and his sister and fulfill the scumbag's wishes. In Yan Zi Tong's young heart, Yan Xi was incomparable, and Fu Yan Ting was dispensable.
"Zi Tong, be good. Go play with your uncle. Mom has something to discuss with this gentleman," Yan Xi said softly, trying to explain without making Yan Zi Tong worry.
Upon hearing Yan Xi's explanation, Yan Zi Tong asked softly, "Mom, when will you be back?" Yan Xi couldn't tell him she was going to spend the night with Fu Yan Ting, so she lied and concealed it, "I'll be back after I finish talking with this gentleman. Be good, okay?" Yan Xi had never mentioned to the children that Fu Yan Ting was their biological father. And Yan Zi Tong hadn't shown any signs that he already knew the truth. The mother and son harbored their own thoughts, neither of them exposing the other.
Fu Yan Ting, overhearing their mother-son conversation, let out a cold laugh. Was he that unacceptable? Was it so difficult to agree to spend one night with him? After Yan Zi Tong left, Fu Yan Ting looked down at Yan Xi. Five years had passed, and this woman seemed to have reversed the aging process; time had left no trace on her face. Fu Yan Ting's gaze gradually moved down from Yan Xi's face to her chest. This woman's figure management was excellent even after giving birth, and her secondary development was also very good; she had curves where she needed them and appeared slender where she should.
Yan Xi noticed Fu Yan Ting staring at her and took two steps back, shielding her chest with her hands. In response to Yan Xi's reaction, Fu Yan Ting sneered, "We haven't slept together before? What are you pretending to be pure for now?" Hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, Yan Xi stood frozen, her face instantly flushing red, feeling both awkward and shy. After saying this, Fu Yan Ting left Yan Xi standing there alone and returned to his desk to review documents.
As Yan Zi Tong walked out of Fu Corporation, he saw an old lady trying to cross the road not far away. However, the cars, seeing a green light, sped through, nearly hitting the old lady. Yan Zi Tong quickly rushed over and helped the old lady. Seeing that it was a young child without any adults accompanying him, the driver immediately became indignant and yelled, "You brat, aren't you afraid of death? Is this road your living room? Running around carelessly."
"Uncle, although I'm a child, I know the rule of stopping at red lights and going at green lights. You ran a red light, which is illegal." Seeing Yan Zi Tong's sharp tongue, and since no one was injured, the driver grumbled and drove away. Yan Zi Tong looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, are you alright?" Mu Qing Xiang looked at Yan Zi Tong, finding him to be a heroic and kind young boy. She smiled and asked, "Little friend, why are you out alone? Where are your parents?"
