Yan Xi's body stiffened at these words.
If it weren't for this demon reminding her, she would have almost forgotten the fact that Fu Yan Ting was dead.
Perhaps it was Mu Jing Chen's words that gave Yan Xi a glimmer of hope, a hope that Fu Yan Ting would reappear before her, even if it was just to quietly watch her without saying a word.
But now, Yan Xi knew that all of this was a luxury.
Fu Yan Ting was truly dead and could never return to her side.
Yan Xi was lost in thought, and something crystal clear quietly slipped from the corner of her eye, completely unnoticed by her.
Seeing Yan Xi so distraught, Fu Yan Ting's lips curled upwards into a mocking smile.
He said calmly, "Are you weeping with joy?"
Yan Xi wiped the tears from her eyes and gave Fu Yan Ting an annoyed glare, offering no reply.
"When he was alive, didn't you try every way to kill him? What, did I hit a nerve with my words, and now you're turning angry out of embarrassment?"
If he hadn't personally experienced it five years ago, with Yan Xi forcing him to eat spicy food, causing him to have a gastric bleed and nearly lose his life, perhaps Fu Yan Ting would have believed that Yan Xi truly loved and cared for him.
But the truth is often so cruel.
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, Yan Xi instinctively defended herself, "It's not what you think, I never hurt him."
"Heh." Fu Yan Ting scoffed without mercy at Yan Xi's awkward and unconvincing explanation.
"Dare you say that you didn't hurt him five years ago when you caused his gastric bleed and nearly killed him?"
Yan Xi wanted to retort.
At the time, she truly didn't intend to harm Fu Yan Ting; her original intention was to protect him, but Fu Yan Ting refused to sign the divorce agreement.
At that time, Yan Xi suspected that Fu Yan Ting's previous accident and becoming a vegetable were related to Mr. Yao.
Mr. Yao's eagerness to have Yan Xi return to the Yao family was merely to use Yan Xi to threaten Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi instinctively wanted to defend herself, but thinking of the man before her, who had kidnapped Yao Wan Qi, Yan Xi didn't know his exact relationship with the Yao family.
It was better for fewer people to know about this matter.
Yan Xi sighed helplessly and said softly, "Forget it, even if I explain, you won't believe me."
After speaking, Yan Xi got up and returned to her room.
She no longer had the mood to chat with Fu Yan Ting.
She didn't even have the mood to defend herself anymore.
She loved Fu Yan Ting, but no one knew, and no one understood.
If she hadn't loved Fu Yan Ting five years ago and wanted to protect him, she wouldn't have forced herself to be resolute and act so ruthlessly.
Seeing Yan Xi's dejected back, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but frown.
Did Yan Xi have something to hide from him when she hurt him so badly five years ago?
It seemed he needed to investigate thoroughly.
Mu Jing Chen returned to the hotel in low spirits.
He had originally thought that bumping into Yan Xi at the supermarket today would allow him to take her away, but he hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to forcefully pull Yan Xi away.
Mu Jing Chen had never understood where he fell short compared to Fu Yan Ting.
Today, he understood; he wasn't as cruel as Fu Yan Ting, who could be so heartless and merciless, even towards women.
Mu Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly. He could have treated Yan Xi better, but why, why did even Yan Xi abandon him and choose to be with Fu Yan Ting?
As Mu Jing Chen was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang; it was from an unknown number.
Mu Jing Chen frowned but instinctively answered the call.
Before Mu Jing Chen could speak, the person on the other end spoke first, "Mr. Mu, I know your unwillingness. I have a way to make Miss Yan return to your side, and willingly. Would you be willing to try?"
Hearing the other person's words, Mu Jing Chen instinctively asked, "Who are you?"
The person on the other end of the line smiled slightly, chuckling twice, and replied, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I have a way to make Miss Yan willingly return to your side. Are you willing?"
"Okay." The situation had already reached this point.
Mu Jing Chen had no retreat left.
Now, as long as he could make Yan Xi return to Mu Jing Chen's side willingly, no matter what method it was, Mu Jing Chen was willing to try.
Because, in his heart, Yan Xi was the most important.
The other party heard Mu Jing Chen's affirmative response and hung up with satisfaction.
After returning to her room, Yan Xi began to miss Fu Yan Ting and gradually drifted off to sleep. She closed her eyes and dreamed of Fu Yan Ting waving goodbye to her.
In her dream, Fu Yan Ting told her, "Xi Xi, you must learn to take care of yourself when I'm not around."
"Xi Xi, I don't blame you. I know you love me, and you did this for my own good."
Yan Xi wanted to hold onto Fu Yan Ting but couldn't.
Suddenly, the phone rang, waking Yan Xi from her dream.
Yan Xi opened her eyes and answered the call. It was from the principal of her school.
The principal simply informed Yan Xi that she needed to go to school because Yan Yi had beaten someone up.
Yan Xi was stunned. Yan Yi had always been frail and sickly since childhood. How could he have the strength to hit someone?
Moreover, Yan Yi was a good student and knew how difficult it was for him to attend school. He was even less likely to cause trouble.
Despite her doubts, Yan Xi got up, tidied herself up briefly, and then went to school to find Yan Yi.
Fu Yan Ting had already left early that morning, so Yan Xi didn't need to report to him and could leave on her own.
A few steps after leaving, Yan Xi was surrounded by a group of thugs. The thugs looked at Yan Xi with ambiguous eyes.
Yan Xi felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze.
She couldn't help but frown.
These people were definitely not from the assassination organization. The assassination organization members were disciplined and would never act like these thugs, doing whatever they pleased.
However, Yan Xi didn't recognize these people and didn't know what they were up to.
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "What do you want?"
"Boss, look at this girl, she's quite pretty and suits our tastes."
Hearing this, Yan Xi said in a panic, "It's broad daylight, don't do anything reckless. I have money, how much do you want, I'll give it to you."
But these thugs didn't listen to Yan Xi at all and slowly approached her.
Yan Xi was genuinely starting to get scared.
In desperation, she shouted, "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. I have a close relationship with the leader of the assassination organization. If he finds out, you won't have a chance to live."
