After Fu Yan Ting showed the video to Mu Jing Chen, Mu Jing Chen remained indifferent, responding with a cold laugh, "This is too amateurish. How do I know those people weren't hired by you to frame me? I know Xi Xi chose me, and you've always harbored resentment. But Xi Xi doesn't love you. You can't force feelings. Do you really think this will change Xi Xi's decision?"
Mu Jing Chen deliberately spoke this way to create the impression that Fu Yan Ting acted out of love and jealousy, staging this drama to make Yan Xi misunderstand Mu Jing Chen.
It could be said that Mu Jing Chen's plan to kill two birds with one stone was very well executed.
However, he still underestimated Fu Yan Ting's capabilities.
Fu Yan Ting looked at Mu Jing Chen, a smile playing on his lips as if he had anticipated Mu Jing Chen's response. Fu Yan Ting didn't argue. He directly presented the most compelling evidence to Mu Jing Chen. As expected, Mu Jing Chen's expression changed drastically upon seeing it.
He looked at Fu Yan Ting in disbelief.
How did Fu Yan Ting manage to find such irrefutable evidence in such a short time?
He had already destroyed all the evidence, so why was Fu Yan Ting still able to find it?
Mu Jing Chen's face turned extremely grim.
The evidence Fu Yan Ting had presented earlier was indeed real, but he had anticipated that Mu Jing Chen would not admit it, so he devised this plan.
He fabricated this piece of evidence, which was something Mu Jing Chen could not refute.
Fu Yan Ting laid the evidence before Mu Jing Chen. Seeing Mu Jing Chen's reaction, Fu Yan Ting knew he would confess.
Indeed, in the next second, Mu Jing Chen spoke calmly, "Fu Yan Ting, you win. This round, you have ultimately defeated me."
Although Mu Jing Chen was unwilling, it was the truth.
He was still no match for Fu Yan Ting's capabilities.
"Fu Yan Ting, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Mu Jing Chen took the initiative to ask.
Because he knew very well that Fu Yan Ting would not let him off easily. Fu Yan Ting would wait by the hospital for him to wake up, having already made preparations.
Fu Yan Ting had waited for this moment for so long.
Now that Mu Jing Chen had finally asked, Fu Yan Ting saw no need to be polite.
Fu Yan Ting said indifferently, "I want you to leave Xi Xi, never appear before Xi Xi again, and stop bothering her. Mu Jing Chen, I know you can do this."
Before Mu Jing Chen could respond, Yan Xi returned with wontons for him.
At the doorway, Yan Xi overheard everything Fu Yan Ting had just said.
Mu Jing Chen had been injured saving Yan Xi, and now, before his injuries had even healed, Fu Yan Ting was forcing him to make a choice.
Yan Xi was furious.
She rushed to Fu Yan Ting, disregarding everything, and coldly questioned him, "Fu Yan Ting, who asked you to make decisions for us? Why do you get to call the shots? Who do you think you are?"
Fu Yan Ting's lips were tightly pressed together, and he remained silent.
Fu Yan Ting knew that Mu Jing Chen must have seen Yan Xi return and deliberately compromised in front of him, intending to make Yan Xi misunderstand Fu Yan Ting, believing that Fu Yan Ting was bullying Mu Jing Chen and forcing him to leave Yan Xi.
Indeed, upon seeing Yan Xi return, Mu Jing Chen seemed to have found a lifeline. He looked at Yan Xi and, with a wronged and helpless expression, said, "Xi Xi, it's alright, I'm fine."
The more humble Mu Jing Chen appeared, the more overbearing Fu Yan Ting seemed.
Yan Xi's gaze towards Fu Yan Ting grew colder.
Fu Yan Ting knew that Yan Xi had misunderstood him, but he had no opportunity to explain. Mu Jing Chen looked at Yan Xi and shook his head, saying, "Xi Xi, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."
Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes. He had encountered many "green tea" women before, but this was his first time encountering a "green tea" man.
As expected, upon hearing Mu Jing Chen's words, Yan Xi became even more convinced that Fu Yan Ting had bullied Mu Jing Chen.
Yan Xi's gaze towards Fu Yan Ting turned even more icy. Fu Yan Ting wanted to explain, but Yan Xi gave him no chance.
Disregarding Fu Yan Ting's feelings, Yan Xi ordered him out.
Inside the ward, Fu Yan Ting was gone, yet Yan Xi felt a sense of loss.
Once again, she had pushed Fu Yan Ting away.
Seeing Yan Xi's dejection, Mu Jing Chen knew very well that she couldn't bear to part with Fu Yan Ting.
Mu Jing Chen had finally managed to keep Yan Xi by his side, and he could not possibly push her back towards Fu Yan Ting.
In the following days, Fu Yan Ting did not visit the hospital nor contact Yan Xi.
Yan Xi knew that her words to Fu Yan Ting that day had been a bit harsh.
But at that moment, Yan Xi simply didn't know what else to do. Mu Jing Chen had been injured saving her, and when Mu Jing Chen was being bullied by Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi couldn't just stand by.
Until Mu Jing Chen was discharged, Yan Xi didn't see Fu Yan Ting, nor did she make any effort to inquire about anything related to him.
She thought that their relationship had ended there and they would have no further intersection.
Although there was a sense of loss in her heart, Yan Xi had no other choice. Mu Jing Chen had been injured multiple times saving her, even losing his fertility. Yan Xi couldn't disregard Mu Jing Chen's feelings.
Perhaps, in Yan Xi's heart, her relationship with Fu Yan Ting was simply a mistake.
From the very beginning, their relationship had been wrong, and they shouldn't have been together.
However, Yan Xi's heart still ached deeply. Losing Fu Yan Ting was like losing the love of her life.
Seeing Yan Xi's dejection, Mu Jing Chen knew, even when Yan Xi had left Fu Yan Ting five years ago, she hadn't been this lost. Yet now, she was so pained, so despondent.
Mu Jing Chen understood clearly that it was all because of Fu Yan Ting.
Mu Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly. He knew that if he stayed with Yan Xi, she would continue to be this way in the future.
But if he didn't stay with Yan Xi, then all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Mu Jing Chen fell into a struggle.
What should he do?
He couldn't bear to give up on Yan Xi, but he also couldn't bear to see her suffer so much.
Why wasn't Yan Xi in love with him? If she loved him, they wouldn't have to endure so much pain.
"Xi Xi."
Seeing Yan Xi's dejection, Mu Jing Chen couldn't help but call out to her.
Yan Xi looked up, her gaze meeting Mu Jing Chen's. She asked, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? I'll call the doctor."
