Chapter 36 Today I'll Tell You Who Your Man Is
Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yanting intended to do. She frowned, looking at him, and said coldly, "What are you doing? Let me go first."
"Today I'll tell you who your man is."
Yan Xi had never seen Fu Yanting so furious.
She was startled by his gaze.
She knew she couldn't defy Fu Yanting.
Yan Xi's arm was being yanked by Fu Yanting, and it hurt, but she didn't dare to cry out.
She endured the pain, trying her best to maintain a smile.
She said, "Husband, you've truly misunderstood. Shi Kainan and I have absolutely no relationship. He saved me today, and I was just treating him to a meal. I don't know why those reporters were secretly taking photos."
Yan Xi had wanted to explain things properly to Fu Yanting.
But she was misunderstood.
Fu Yanting believed that Yan Xi was preserving her purity for Shi Kainan, and now that she knew what he was about to do, she was quickly trying to appease him and explain herself.
If Yan Xi had explained like this at the beginning, perhaps Fu Yanting wouldn't have become so enraged. But now, it was too late.
Seeing that Fu Yanting remained silent, Yan Xi thought he had believed her explanation. She gave him a sad smile and said, "Husband, I'm still engaged to you. How could I possibly betray you?"
"Are you implying that if the engagement is off in a year, you can do whatever you want with him?"
Yan Xi didn't mean that at all. She didn't understand why Fu Yanting was misunderstanding her so much.
Yan Xi felt extremely awkward.
She looked at Fu Yanting, wondering how to explain herself so that he wouldn't twist her words.
Just then, Yan Xi's phone rang. It was an unknown number.
Yan Xi glanced at Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting gestured for her to answer the call.
Yan Xi had no choice but to press the answer button and turn on the speakerphone.
Before Yan Xi could speak, Shi Kainan's voice came through.
He asked politely, "Does your foot still hurt?"
Yan Xi desperately wanted to hang up. Looking at Fu Yanting's murderous glare, she was terrified. She had witnessed Fu Yanting's ruthlessness.
Why was this Shi Kainan, a stranger to her, calling her?
And calling her when Fu Yanting was present, making him misunderstand that they had some illicit relationship.
Shi Kainan seemed to have anticipated that Fu Yanting was with Yan Xi and that it would be inconvenient for her to speak. So, without waiting for Yan Xi's reply, he continued, "Your foot is seriously injured. You need to apply some liniment. If it's really bad, go to the hospital and have a doctor check if it's dislocated."
Yan Xi remained silent.
It was only then that Shi Kainan belatedly realized something and cautiously asked, "Xi Xi, is this a bad time to call? Is Fu Yanting at home?"
If Shi Kainan hadn't asked this, the misunderstanding might have been slightly reduced. But his question made Fu Yanting's expression even more grim.
He stared intently at Yan Xi, his gaze as if he could reach through the phone and tear Shi Kainan to shreds.
"It's fine. Since Fu Yanting is home, I won't talk to you anymore."
Shi Kainan hung up after saying this.
Yan Xi cautiously looked up and saw that Fu Yanting's eyes were even darker.
Yan Xi wanted to explain to Fu Yanting, but before she could even speak, Fu Yanting cut her off, asking, "Xi Xi?"
"Is it inconvenient for you to talk when I'm home?"
"It's not like that, husband. I don't know how he got my number, nor why he'd call me. I really have no relationship with him. You have to believe me."
Yan Xi took Fu Yanting's hand, trying desperately to explain, hoping he wouldn't misunderstand that she had no relationship with Shi Kainan.
But Fu Yanting gave her no face. He indifferently pulled his hand away.
Looking at Yan Xi, he said coldly, "Don't touch me. You make me sick."
Yan Xi was stunned. She hadn't expected Fu Yanting to utter such hurtful words.
Ultimately, Fu Yanting didn't believe she was innocent.
Whether it was Fu Hao or Shi Kainan, Fu Yanting had never believed her.
In his heart, she was no different from those promiscuous women.
Since that was the case, Yan Xi no longer wanted to explain to Fu Yanting or try to appease him.
Yan Xi slowly withdrew her hand, and at the same time, she withdrew her heart.
Their relationship, perhaps from the very beginning, had been a mistake.
Now, it was time to end this mistake.
Yan Xi stood up, wanting to leave the room.
Fu Yanting grabbed her arm, his voice extremely cold and devoid of emotion, questioning, "Are you going to find Shi Kainan?"
"That's right, I'm going to find Shi Kainan. So what? Fu Yanting, don't forget that our marriage wasn't my willing choice either, and you don't love me at all. Since you can't give me your whole heart, then don't control who I'm with."
Yan Xi was deeply provoked by Fu Yanting. Hurtful words tumbled out of her mouth without a second thought.
Fu Yanting looked at Yan Xi with a dark expression. After a long pause, the corners of his lips curled up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Fu Yanting sneered, "Yan Xi, you're truly something."
With that, he got up and left the room.
Yan Xi wasn't worried about Fu Yanting harming Shi Kainan; she had no relationship with Shi Kainan.
But Yan Xi was worried about Yan Yi, especially since Yan Yi was now in Fu Yanting's hands.
No, Yan Xi had to go to the hospital immediately and arrange for Yan Yi's transfer.
She couldn't let Yan Yi be harmed by Fu Yanting.
Yan Xi walked out, preparing to go to the hospital. This time, Fu Yanting's bodyguards didn't stop her from leaving.
After Yan Xi got into a taxi and headed for the hospital, Fu Yanting, sitting in his limited-edition Rolls-Royce, stared intently at Yan Xi and instructed the driver, "Follow her."
The driver was confused. Had the master and madam fallen out again?
Why were they resorting to spy tactics?
But he didn't dare to voice such thoughts in front of Fu Yanting, so he secretly followed Yan Xi's car to the hospital.
Fu Yanting seemed to have guessed why Yan Xi was going to the hospital, but his expression was extremely grim.
Yan Xi had never trusted him.
That was why she kept coming to the hospital behind his back, time and time again.
In Yan Xi's heart, she would rather trust that playboy Shi Kainan than him.
This caused Fu Yanting a twinge of hurt.
However, Fu Yanting quickly hid it.
He wanted to see what Yan Xi was so frantically going to the hospital for.
