Yan Xi had a premonition that something bad was about to happen. She struggled with all her might.
But Yan Jiapeng ignored her, coldly ordering the servant to help Yan Xi to her room.
As she passed Yan Jiapeng, Yan Xi asked coldly, "This drink was never opened. How did you tamper with it?"
Yan Xi could only blame herself for not being meticulous enough, allowing Yan Jiapeng to exploit her oversight.
"It's a bit too late to discuss this now. You'd better obediently serve Young Master Shi. As long as he's happy, our Yan family will have good days."
"I am Fu Yanting's wife. Aren't you afraid that Fu Yanting will come after you for this?" Yan Xi roared.
Hearing Yan Xi's roar, Yan Jiapeng acted as if he had heard the funniest joke.
He looked at Yan Xi and sneered, "Do you think Fu Yanting will still acknowledge you after you've cheated on him? Yan Xi, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and serve Young Master Shi well. Perhaps after you divorce Fu Yanting, you can even marry Young Master Shi and become the young madam of the Shi family."
"You are truly despicable and shameless."
Yan Jiapeng ignored Yan Xi and turned to leave.
Yan Xi knew that there was no way she could leave here safely today.
Her heart seethed with rage, like an angry lion. Yan Xi had tried to struggle several times, but she had been drugged by Yan Jiapeng and couldn't muster any strength. In the end, she could only let the servants escort her back to her room.
Upon returning to the room, she saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed. With his beer belly, he looked utterly indescribable.
Yan Xi frowned. This was not what the rumors said. Weren't the rumors saying that Young Master Shi was a handsome and talented man?
Was it like this?
Did common people have a misunderstanding of what handsome and talented meant?
Yan Xi stood at the doorway. The man immediately lunged towards her. Unfortunately, Yan Xi dodged quickly, and he missed, falling empty-handed.
He was somewhat annoyed.
He cursed, "Madam Yan said you are a jinx. I don't mind you, and you're still putting on airs? Who are you trying to fool?"
Hearing the man's words, Yan Xi frowned. Wasn't this all arranged by Yan Jiapeng?
How did it become arranged by Kong Yalan?
No matter who arranged it, they were both definitely involved.
Yan Xi had completely lost her mind. Her legs felt weak, and she couldn't escape at all. The man dragged her onto the bed.
Yan Xi wore a look of sorrow.
If only Fu Yanting were here.
If he saw her being bullied, Fu Yanting would probably save her, right?
Yan Xi was pinned down, feeling utter despair. She wanted to escape this place quickly, but her hands and feet were no longer under her control.
This time, she was doomed.
From now on, she wouldn't be able to face Fu Yanting.
Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair.
A clear tear slowly slid down her cheek.
Originally, Yan Xi had thought that she would leave Fu Yanting after she became stronger. Now, she could still stay by Fu Yanting's side, but now, Yan Xi no longer had the qualification to stay by Fu Yanting's side.
Just at the critical moment, the bedroom door was suddenly kicked open. Yan Xi looked up and saw Fu Yanting's face.
Yan Xi thought she was hallucinating because she missed Fu Yanting so much.
She pinched her arm hard. The pain pulled Yan Xi back to reality.
Yan Xi stared blankly at Fu Yanting and asked, "Husband, why are you here?"
"If you are like this, how can I ever feel at ease letting you go out alone in the future?"
Fu Yanting spoke coldly, but the way he looked at Yan Xi was very warm.
He blamed himself. He shouldn't have let Yan Xi go out alone today. If Xin Yi hadn't sensed something was wrong and sent him a message, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The thought of that old man almost defiling Yan Xi made Fu Yanting want to kill him.
Yan Xi lowered her eyes, not knowing how to explain to Fu Yanting.
After something like this happened, Fu Yanting must have misunderstood her, right?
Fu Yanting must find her repulsive.
Let alone Fu Yanting, even Yan Xi herself found herself repulsive. Yan Xi stopped talking.
Fu Yanting glanced indifferently at Yan Xi, then gave a look to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard restrained the man on the bed.
He knelt on the ground in a sorry state, begging, "Mr. Fu, this was all arranged by Madam Yan. Madam Yan didn't tell me that Mr. Fu was Miss Yan's husband. She just said for me to marry Miss Yan, please spare me, Mr. Fu."
Fu Yanting ignored the man and carried Yan Xi away from the Yan family.
As they reached the entrance, Fu Yanting ordered, "Take him back for interrogation."
"I understand."
"And also the Yan family couple. Take them back as well."
After speaking, Fu Yanting carried Yan Xi to the hospital.
The drug had fully taken effect on Yan Xi. She was completely out of control and started kissing Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting held Yan Xi, keeping her still.
He said, "Bear with it, I'll take you to the hospital first."
"Fu Yanting, husband, do you find me repulsive? If I told you that fat man didn't touch me, would you still find me repulsive?"
After Yan Xi asked, silence filled the car, so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Time ticked by, second by second.
After an unknown period, Yan Xi lowered her head in disappointment.
Why was she being so self-indulgent, thinking that Fu Yanting would find her repulsive?
Their marriage was, after all, a transaction.
The woman Fu Yanting loved was not her.
So, what was she still expecting?
Yan Xi tried hard to conceal her awkwardness and turned her head away, ignoring Fu Yanting.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Fu Yanting wanted to carry Yan Xi out of the car, but Yan Xi refused with her actions.
Fu Yanting frowned, seemingly displeased with Yan Xi's reaction.
Yan Xi lay on the hospital bed, receiving an IV drip. Fu Yanting sat beside her, keeping her company.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Fu Yanting glanced at the caller ID, then at Yan Xi, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed.
To avoid waking her up.
Fu Yanting got up and walked out of the ward to answer the call.
Unbeknownst to Fu Yanting, as soon as he left the ward, Yan Xi's eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was vacant as she stared at the ceiling.
She would not let the events of today go so easily.
The things Yan Xiao had done to Yan Yi before, and what Yan Jiapeng and Kong Yalan had done to her today, Yan Xi was determined to get them back one by one.
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes shooting out cold light.
She was determined to rely on her own abilities to make the Yan family pay the price.
For herself, and for Yan Yi, she had to become strong.
She couldn't rely on Fu Yanting.
And she certainly couldn't fall in love with Fu Yanting.
Yan Xi swore inwardly with resentment.
Fu Yanting stepped outside the ward and answered the phone, saying in a cold and distant tone, "Did he confess everything?"
