Yan Xi felt a little uncomfortable looking at Mu Jing Chen, wanting to explain but not knowing how.
Logically, they were now engaged, and Mu Jing Chen's small gesture of wanting to help her tuck her hair was perfectly normal.
But Yan Xi simply did not want Mu Jing Chen to touch her.
In Yan Xi's heart, if Mu Jing Chen touched her, she would be betraying Fu Yan Ting.
Mu Qing Xiang saw Yan Xi and Mu Jing Chen being affectionate outside the emergency room, and her anger intensified.
Her grandson was still inside undergoing emergency treatment, his life hanging in the balance.
And these two were openly displaying their affection outside the operating room.
Who were they trying to provoke?
Mu Qing Xiang shot Yan Xi a cold glance and said indifferently, "Miss Yan, I don't think Yan Ting would want to see you if he woke up. Could you please leave?"
Yan Xi didn't want any further entanglement with Fu Yan Ting anyway, but now, Fu Yan Ting was pretending to be the leader of an assassination organization and had kidnapped Yao Wan Qi to threaten Yan Xi.
Yan Xi could not stand by and do nothing.
Even if she had to leave, Yan Xi needed to take Yao Wan Qi with her.
Yan Xi knew that Mu Qing Xiang was in a bad mood and did not want to see her.
But Yan Xi had to wait until Fu Yan Ting was out of danger before she could leave.
Yan Xi stood there, unmoved.
Mu Qing Xiang thought of the scene of Yan Xi and Mu Jing Chen flirting earlier, and her face darkened further.
She said impatiently, "I'm talking to you."
"Old Madam, please let me stay. I swear, as soon as Fu Yan Ting is out of danger, I will leave and will not continue to disturb him here."
Mu Jing Chen, standing nearby, frowned when he saw Yan Xi being so meek.
His Yan Xi should not be like this. Seeing her speak so submissively to Mu Qing Xiang made Mu Jing Chen feel very uneasy. Yan Xi had never been so humble to anyone before.
And now, because of Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi was begging so humbly.
Mu Qing Xiang was about to refuse when the doctor opened the emergency room door and walked out. He glanced at Yan Xi and asked, "Who among you is the patient's family?"
Mu Qing Xiang stepped forward and looked at the doctor, saying anxiously, "Doctor, I am, I am his grandmother. How is my grandson?"
Yan Xi froze in place, not stepping forward. If it were in the past, she might have stepped forward and told the doctor she was Fu Yan Ting's wife, but now, Yan Xi had lost that qualification.
Yan Xi's name was no longer on the list of Fu Yan Ting's family members.
Yan Xi could only stand there, quietly waiting for the doctor to tell Mu Qing Xiang about Fu Yan Ting's condition.
The doctor sighed and said, "The patient's will to survive is not very high, so it's best for you to be mentally prepared."
After speaking, the doctor turned and left.
Mu Qing Xiang stood there in a daze. When she came to her senses, she blamed Yan Xi for everything. She walked up to Yan Xi and, without regard for right or wrong, raised her hand to slap Yan Xi.
However, she was stopped in time by Mu Jing Chen.
Mu Jing Chen's voice was very indifferent, but also very cold as he said, "Old Madam, considering you are Fu Yan Ting's grandmother and an elder, we will not hold this against you. But our Xi Xi is not someone to be bullied easily. Don't get used to hitting people."
"You wicked woman, my grandson was fine. It's all because of you. What bad deeds did our Fu family do in their past lives to have you marry into our Fu family? Now look, my grandson is lying in there, his life in peril, and you, meanwhile, are being ambiguous with another man."
Faced with Mu Qing Xiang's aggressive questioning, Yan Xi couldn't utter a single word. In Yan Xi's heart, everything Mu Qing Xiang said was right. Mu Qing Xiang was an innocent victim.
Even if Mu Qing Xiang hit Yan Xi, Yan Xi could not fight back.
Mu Qing Xiang suddenly didn't want Yan Xi to have an easy life.
Didn't Yan Xi like the man in front of her?
Then she wouldn't let her have her way.
Mu Qing Xiang suddenly said fiercely, "Yan Xi, if my grandson really has an accident, you won't have a good life either. If he really leaves us, I will make you have a posthumous marriage with him and even have you give birth to his child."
Mu Jing Chen didn't expect Mu Qing Xiang to be so extreme, to say such things.
However, Mu Jing Chen still wanted to know Yan Xi's decision. He turned his gaze to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Mu Qing Xiang to make such an unreasonable demand.
No matter how unreasonable Mu Qing Xiang's demand was, Yan Xi didn't feel it was excessive.
Yan Xi loved Fu Yan Ting in her heart, and she was willing to give birth to a child for him.
It was just that Yan Xi didn't know if Fu Yan Ting would be willing.
Fu Yan Ting's current attitude towards Yan Xi was clear. He no longer had feelings for Yan Xi, and Yan Xi didn't want to do anything that would displease Fu Yan Ting.
"Old Madam, I think if Fu Yan Ting were alive, he would definitely not agree. Therefore, I must beg your pardon, but I cannot agree to your request."
Mu Jing Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yan Xi's answer.
Yan Xi knew that Mu Qing Xiang was emotionally agitated at the moment and not thinking clearly, so Yan Xi had to remain rational.
Once Mu Qing Xiang regained her composure, she would surely regret what she had said to Yan Xi.
Mu Qing Xiang frowned upon hearing Yan Xi's words and asked indifferently, "What? Do you still think our Fu family is not good enough for you? Or do you not love Fu Yan Ting and don't want to have children for him?"
"No, Old Madam, you misunderstand. I love Fu Yan Ting. I love him more than anyone else. It's precisely because I love him so much that I don't want to be with him. I'm afraid that if he's with me, he will be in danger."
Hearing Mu Qing Xiang's question, Yan Xi was afraid that Mu Qing Xiang would misunderstand the feelings between her and Fu Yan Ting, so she quickly explained.
Mu Jing Chen, standing beside her, suddenly laughed when he heard Yan Xi's words. His smile was as chilling as a biting wind.
Mu Jing Chen didn't expect Yan Xi to care so much about Fu Yan Ting, to care to such an extent. Hearing Yan Xi's answer, Mu Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Yan Xi's eyes were only on Fu Yan Ting, and she was focused on seeking validation from Mu Qing Xiang, completely unaware of Mu Jing Chen.
Therefore, Yan Xi was completely oblivious to Mu Jing Chen's reaction.
Mu Jing Chen's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and then looked up at Yan Xi.
Seeing that Yan Xi was still explaining her feelings for Fu Yan Ting to Mu Qing Xiang,
She hadn't looked in Mu Jing Chen's direction at all.
Mu Jing Chen quietly walked to the side and answered the call. Before he could speak,
The person on the other end of the line said impatiently, "Mu Jing Chen, your opportunity has come. You must seize it."
