Yan Xi shook off Fu Yan Ting's hand, wanting to leave, but Fu Yan Ting quickly caught up, grabbing Yan Xi's hand and speaking coldly, "If you still want your son, you'd better come with me."
Yan Xi was angry. What else could Fu Yan Ting do besides threaten her?
Although Yan Xi was unwilling to be threatened by Fu Yan Ting, her child was her everything, her life. Yan Xi couldn't and dared not gamble with her child.
Yan Xi could only suppress her grievances and go home with Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting knew very well that even though Yan Xi had returned home with him, she was unwilling in her heart.
But now, with Yan Xi resisting his touch so much, he had to use this method to keep Yan Xi by his side.
After returning to the villa, Xin Yi looked at Fu Yan Ting, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at Yan Xi faintly, and Yan Xi understood. She said softly, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook first."
Fu Yan Ting did not object. Since Yan Xi stopped cooking, Fu Yan Ting had hardly eaten a proper meal. Now, Yan Xi's proposal was exactly what he wanted. Fu Yan Ting didn't know if it was because Yan Xi offered to cook or because he hadn't eaten well recently, but at this moment, Fu Yan Ting clearly felt his stomach growling.
After Yan Xi went to the kitchen, Fu Yan Ting went to the study with Xin Yi, where Xin Yi recounted the details of Shi Wen Wen's car accident to Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting's brows furrowed deeply upon hearing this.
He looked at Xin Yi and asked coldly, "Have you investigated the matter of Shi Wen Wen kidnapping Yan Xi before her death?"
"It's been investigated."
Xin Yi looked at Fu Yan Ting with a complex expression, unsure how to speak.
Fu Yan Ting said coldly, "Speak."
"Boss, my investigation shows that Shi Wen Wen and He Qi did kidnap Miss Yan. But before that, Zhang Ma's death was also inextricably linked to He Qi. He Qi and Shi Wen Wen have always been in cahoots. I suspect Shi Wen Wen was also involved in Zhang Ma's death."
Hearing Xin Yi's words, Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
He said coldly, "Xin Yi, remove the word 'suspect.' Zhang Ma's death was indeed caused by Shi Wen Wen and He Qi."
Xin Yi stared at Fu Yan Ting in shock. If the boss already knew, why did he let He Qi go unpunished, and even condone Shi Wen Wen's trouble with Miss Yan?
Although Xin Yi disliked Yan Xi's actions, he found Shi Wen Wen's actions even more objectionable.
This was also why Xin Yi did not favor Shi Wen Wen after knowing that she had killed Zhang Ma.
"Boss, what are your plans?"
Fu Yan Ting did not respond, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
Xin Yi knew that the boss was about to make a big move. Every time the boss made a big move, he would act like this.
He just didn't know how the boss would punish He Qi.
Xin Yi silently prayed for He Qi in his heart.
Meanwhile, Yan Xi had been busy in the kitchen for a long time and finally prepared four dishes and one soup. She took off her apron, ready to return to her room.
Just then, Fu Yan Ting and Xin Yi walked out of the study.
Seeing Yan Xi preparing a table of delicious food for Fu Yan Ting, which was appealing in both color and aroma, Xin Yi suddenly felt hungry. However, Xin Yi knew very well that this was specially made by Miss Yan for Fu Yan Ting, and it would be inappropriate for him to stay for a meal.
But he really wanted to eat.
Fu Yan Ting glanced indifferently at Xin Yi, showing no intention of inviting him to stay for dinner.
Xin Yi was self-aware and got up to leave.
After Xin Yi left, Yan Xi also turned to go back to her room.
Fu Yan Ting frowned and asked indifferently, "Where are you going?"
"I've already made the meal as you requested. What else do you want me to do?"
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown. Yan Xi knew very well that Fu Yan Ting wanted to make things difficult for her.
But Yan Xi didn't want to argue with Fu Yan Ting. She was tired and truly didn't want to love Fu Yan Ting anymore.
What did he mean by "What else do you want me to do?"
Hearing Yan Xi's question, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but frown, his expression becoming extremely grim.
Did Yan Xi really think he, Fu Yan Ting, was that kind of person?
Thinking of this, Fu Yan Ting's face turned extremely ugly.
Fu Yan Ting said coldly, "Sit down and eat with me."
But Yan Xi showed no intention of sitting down.
Fu Yan Ting had always disliked disobedient women. At this moment, hearing Yan Xi's words, Fu Yan Ting's expression was beyond ugly.
He looked up, his gaze meeting Yan Xi's.
Perhaps it was his imagination, but Fu Yan Ting clearly saw tears welling up in Yan Xi's eyes.
Fu Yan Ting forced himself to be heartless. He knew very well how cruel this woman had been to him.
Thinking of this, Fu Yan Ting's forehead veins bulged.
The ferocity emanating from him intensified.
He looked at Yan Xi with an icy gaze and said, word by word, "I said, sit down and eat with me."
Fu Yan Ting's words were devoid of romance, completely ordering her to sit down.
Yan Xi had no right to refuse, so she sat down.
Seeing Yan Xi sitting at the dining table, Fu Yan Ting frowned again.
Did this woman consider him a monster?
Why was she sitting so far away from him?
Was he going to eat her?
Thinking of this, Fu Yan Ting's expression became even more grim.
But Yan Xi seemed oblivious, picked up her bowl, and began to eat earnestly. In a few mouthfuls, she finished a bowl of rice, put down her chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Fu Yan Ting's anger instantly flared.
He looked at Yan Xi with a cold gaze. If looks could kill, Yan Xi would have been utterly annihilated by now.
Yan Xi knew that her actions had completely angered the man in front of her.
However, she couldn't bring herself to be outwardly obedient and inwardly defiant towards this man.
Perhaps, she and Fu Yan Ting were not from the same world; they were a mistake from the very beginning.
But Yan Xi's heart had already fallen.
Fu Yan Ting could hurt her, but Yan Xi couldn't bring herself to hurt Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi gave a bitter smile. This was the biggest difference between her and Fu Yan Ting, wasn't it?
Yan Xi took a deep breath, looked at Fu Yan Ting, and forced a smile that was more like a cry, saying softly, "Mr. Fu, I'm full. Please enjoy your meal."
Mr. Fu?
Yan Xi used to call him husband.
Even though they hadn't remarried, Yan Xi shouldn't have addressed him so formally as "Mr. Fu."
This address made Fu Yan Ting's already depressed mood even more so.
Yan Xi's reactions were all telling Fu Yan Ting that she was very angry right now.
But Fu Yan Ting had already explained that Shi Wen Wen was not his fiancée.
As for Shi Wen Wen kidnapping Yan Xi in his name, Fu Yan Ting had already asked Xin Yi to investigate.
