After Yan Xi left the coffee shop, she returned to the hotel to pack her luggage. As she was packing the last suitcase, Mu Jing Chen rushed to the hotel, travel-worn.
Seeing the scene before him, Mu Jing Chen frowned. He said gently, "Xi Xi, you just promised me you wouldn't leave my side. Are all the things you said to me lies?"
If his hidden guards hadn't told him that Yan Xi was packing at the hotel, Yan Xi would have left without a word, and he wouldn't have been able to find her.
Yan Xi seemed not to have expected Mu Jing Chen to return so suddenly. Originally, Yan Xi had planned to finish packing all her belongings and call Mu Jing Chen at the airport to inform him. But now that Mu Jing Chen had said so much, Yan Xi had no choice but to hide it anymore.
Yan Xi knew that Mu Jing Chen had a very poor relationship with his family over the years. Yan Xi did not want to make things worse between them because of her.
Therefore, facing Mu Huai's threat, Yan Xi did not tell Mu Jing Chen. She just said softly, "Jing Chen, you are a good person. You will meet a girl who will treat you very well in the future."
"But none of them are you."
Mu Jing Chen had thought about marriage, but his intended bride was Yan Xi, and it had to be Yan Xi.
He couldn't let his plan go awry.
"Xi Xi, I know I've been neglecting you while I was busy with work. I also know that my mother and Mu family members have been causing you trouble and distress, but I am handling it. Can you please not abandon me? I really can't live without you. You are the only one in this world who is good to me."
"Jing Chen, don't be like this. You and I are just family. Even if we don't get married, I will always be by your side and be your family for life."
Yan Xi gently comforted Mu Jing Chen.
"No, Xi Xi, I don't believe you. Even if you could do it, Fu Yan Ting wouldn't let you get too close to me. So, don't say these things to me. I won't believe them."
Yan Xi also knew that given Fu Yan Ting's petty nature, he would never let Yan Xi get too close to Mu Jing Chen.
And Yan Xi had to return to Fu Yan Ting's side now.
No matter how Mu Jing Chen tried to persuade her, Yan Xi had made up her mind.
She couldn't ignore Yan Zi Tong's life or death.
No matter how Mu Jing Chen pleaded, Yan Xi still left.
Watching Yan Xi's retreating back, Mu Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly.
Fu Yan Ting was indeed lucky, always managing to dance with death and then return to the world.
If Fu Yan Ting were dead, Yan Xi would certainly not have so many thoughts and would obediently stay by his side.
Thinking of this, Mu Jing Chen's eyes narrowed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing within them.
Originally, Mu Jing Chen had planned to mind his own business with Fu Yan Ting, but he didn't expect Yan Xi to make this choice.
They were forcing him to do this; he couldn't be blamed.
Yan Xi arrived in Yan City. This time, Yan Xi was heavy-hearted, as she had to face Fu Yan Ting and do things that would hurt him.
Every time Yan Xi thought of this, her heart was in turmoil.
Yan Xi had never intended to hurt Fu Yan Ting, but now, she was constantly doing things that hurt him.
Yan Xi arrived at Fu Yan Ting's villa. Xin Yi reported to Fu Yan Ting about what had happened in Kyoto.
After hearing it, a flicker of hidden pain appeared in Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
Fu Yan Ting had always known that in Yan Xi's heart, any person's life was more important than his own.
This time, Yan Xi's return was also because of Mu Jing Chen.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
He wanted to present the best of the world to Yan Xi. He had been so good to her, and in the end, this was the result.
Yan Xi didn't know that Fu Yan Ting had always had his hidden guards secretly protecting her. Therefore, Fu Yan Ting knew everything that had happened to Yan Xi in Kyoto.
Fu Yan Ting also knew exactly why Yan Xi had returned to Yan City this time.
Sizing up the woman before him, Fu Yan Ting decided to give her another chance.
Fu Yan Ting asked indifferently, "Why are you back? Is there something?"
Yan Xi stared at Fu Yan Ting's face and was silent for a few seconds before explaining, "Fu Yan Ting, I know you might not believe me when I say this, but everything I'm saying is from the bottom of my heart. I like you, and I don't want to be separated from you. Can we start over, okay?"
Yan Xi's words were so sincere that if Fu Yan Ting hadn't known her true purpose for returning and approaching him, he would have been moved by her heartfelt sincerity.
However, Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He looked at Yan Xi and asked word by word, "You say you love me. What proof do you have that you love me?"
Yan Xi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Fu Yan Ting to say that.
What did Fu Yan Ting mean by this?
Did he not love her anymore?
Yan Xi dared not think further.
Fu Yan Ting didn't notice that Yan Xi's hands were clasped tightly behind her back.
Yan Xi did love Fu Yan Ting very much, but she also had her pride.
If she hadn't been threatened by Mu Huai, Yan Xi wouldn't have returned to Fu Yan Ting's side to do these things.
"What? Can't even provide proof?" Fu Yan Ting asked with a mocking smile when he saw Yan Xi's silence.
"How do you want me to prove that I love you?"
Yan Xi regained her composure. No matter what, for the sake of Yan Zi Tong, Yan Xi couldn't go against Fu Yan Ting.
Seeing Yan Xi ask this, Fu Yan Ting's heart grew cold.
Yan Xi was truly willing to do anything for Mu Jing Chen, and she wouldn't stop until she achieved her goal.
Suddenly, Fu Yan Ting's mood soured, and he no longer had the desire to hurt Yan Xi.
Fu Yan Ting got up and went back to the bedroom. After taking a few steps, he stopped, turned around, glanced at Yan Xi, and said indifferently, "Since you say you love me, why don't you write me a love letter while I'm asleep, so I can clearly understand how much you love me."
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, Yan Xi couldn't help but twitch her lips. This really didn't seem like Fu Yan Ting's style.
When did he want to read love letters?
Besides, with his wealth and power, if he wanted to read love letters, women would probably be lining up to write them for him.
Yan Xi was not good at doing such things. Now, Yan Xi was very sure that Fu Yan Ting was doing this on purpose.
Even Xin Yi, who was standing by, was shocked by Fu Yan Ting's words.
Didn't their boss say he would punish this woman properly?
Writing love letters?
Was this their boss's punishment for this woman?
Wasn't it too childish?
Having been with Fu Yan Ting for many years, Xin Yi naturally understood Fu Yan Ting's temper. He was worried that Fu Yan Ting would fall in love with Yan Xi again, so he took it upon himself to find Mu Qing Xiang.
