Chapter 42 Fu Yanting Cared About Her
Yan Xi was stunned. She hadn't expected Fu Yanting to be so cruel that he could be so ruthless and heartless even to his own flesh and blood.
Even more ridiculously, she had actually developed feelings for such a cold and heartless man.
However, it was good this way. With Fu Yanting's answer, Yan Xi could start considering leaving.
After all, her belly would only get bigger, and she had to leave Fu Yanting's side before that happened.
After Fu Yanting finished speaking, he returned to his usual demeanor and said softly to Yan Xi, "I heard from Zhang Ma that you haven't eaten anything all day. Hurry up and eat something. You can't go on like this. The doctor said you're weak and need nourishment."
Yan Xi was filled with despair. Why was Fu Yanting doing this, being so cruel to her and then trying to coax her?
It gave her the illusion that Fu Yanting cared about her.
Yan Xi still had her back to Fu Yanting. She didn't want to see him. She had to control her heart and not sink any deeper. Her relationship with Fu Yanting was a mistake from the very beginning.
"Xi Xi, I have good news to tell you. Don't you want to know?"
Yan Xi still ignored Fu Yanting.
But Fu Yanting was not discouraged. He stood there and said lightly, "It's about Yan Yi."
As expected, upon hearing Yan Yi's name, Yan Xi reacted.
She got up and looked at Fu Yanting, her eyes filled with intense hatred, and asked indifferently, "What did you do to Yi Yi?"
"If you really want to know, then come out and eat. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
After Fu Yanting finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
Yan Xi knew very well that Fu Yanting was using psychological manipulation on her, but she had no choice. As long as Yan Yi was involved, Yan Xi would lose her composure.
Helplessly, Yan Xi followed Fu Yanting to the dining table to eat.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Fu Yanting's lips curved slightly, and he strode forward.
Yan Xi followed behind Fu Yanting, but her mind was elsewhere.
She had originally planned to leave Fu Yanting's side as soon as possible. After all, secrets couldn't be kept forever, and she was pregnant. She worried that one day she might slip up and Fu Yanting would find out.
But now, Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yanting had done to Yan Yi, and she didn't dare to joke about Yan Yi's safety.
Yan Xi saw the table full of dishes and had no appetite at all. She even felt like throwing up.
Fu Yanting scooped a bowl of soup for Yan Xi and coaxed her gently, "You're weak and need nourishment. Drink this bowl of soup."
Looking at the bowl of soup, Yan Xi almost threw up.
She tried hard to control herself, not wanting Fu Yanting to discover that she was still pregnant.
After an unknown amount of time, when the nausea subsided, Yan Xi asked indifferently, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk about Yan Yi? How is Yi Yi?"
Seeing that Yan Xi disliked him so much and was eager to know about Yan Yi, Fu Yanting felt a pang in his heart.
Even though he knew Yan Yi was her brother, she cared about another man so much, even more than him. This was unacceptable to Fu Yanting.
"Drink the soup first, and then I'll tell you."
Yan Xi didn't want to waste words with Fu Yanting. She picked up the soup from the table, as if making a momentous decision, closed her eyes, and prepared to drink it all.
But she had overestimated her own tolerance. The soup was barely at her lips when she couldn't control the churning in her stomach and rushed to the restroom to vomit.
Fu Yanting was extremely worried.
Hadn't Yan Xi undergone an abortion?
Why was she still vomiting so much?
He was worried that Yan Xi had some lingering complications after the abortion.
Without delay, he called the doctor to question him.
The doctor did not dare to offend Fu Yanting, but he had already colluded with Yan Xi and could not tell the truth. He could only prevaricate, "Mr. Fu, this is normal. The abortion has been a great blow to Miss Yan. Miss Yan cannot accept this fact, and her body is showing rebellious symptoms. She feels nauseous whenever she eats. It will get better with time and care."
Hearing the doctor's words, Fu Yanting finally felt relieved. Yan Xi, seeing Fu Yanting on the phone with the doctor, was afraid that the doctor might not be able to control himself and reveal the truth.
Now that the doctor had responded this way, Fu Yanting was also relieved. He looked at Yan Xi, and this time, he no longer forced Yan Xi to drink the soup.
Taking care of her health was not urgent.
After vomiting, Yan Xi returned to the dining table and continued to struggle with the bowl of soup. She picked up the bowl and started to drink again, but as soon as she lifted it, she felt nauseous, unwell, and uncomfortable.
Seeing Yan Xi like this, Fu Yanting's heart ached.
He frowned. When Yan Xi raised the bowl for the third time, Fu Yanting reached out and stopped her.
In fact, Fu Yanting had been waiting for Yan Xi to act spoiled and ask him.
Waiting for Yan Xi to say, "Honey, I really don't want to drink this soup. Can I not drink it?"
But he waited for a long time and never heard these words.
Yan Xi no longer acted spoiled towards him, no longer called him "honey."
This realization made Fu Yanting extremely displeased, but he did not want to show it.
Seeing Fu Yanting stop her, Yan Xi looked at him and asked with a cold smile, "Didn't you say that if I drank this bowl of soup, you would tell me about Yan Yi? Are you going back on your word now?"
"You don't have to drink the soup. I'll tell you."
Fu Yanting's calm voice sounded, and one couldn't discern his emotions.
Yan Xi thought she had misheard. Would Fu Yanting be so easy to talk to?
However, hearing that she didn't have to drink the soup, Yan Xi was truly relieved.
It wasn't that she lacked willpower, but at this stage, she really had no appetite.
Yan Xi decisively put down the bowl, looked at Fu Yanting, and waited for him to tell her the news.
"The hospital director called me and told me they found a suitable kidney source. I'm planning to have the doctors arrange for Yan Yi's surgery in the next couple of days. If everything goes smoothly, Yan Yi will be discharged soon."
Yan Xi's heart was filled with mixed emotions upon hearing Fu Yanting's words.
Yan Xi had already decided to divorce Fu Yanting, but now, she couldn't ignore Yi Yi's life and death.
Yi Yi was the only family she had left in this world.
Fu Yanting had expected that this news would be good news for Yan Xi, and that she would be very happy and excited upon hearing it.
But he hadn't expected Yan Xi to look so preoccupied after hearing it.
Was Yan Xi still thinking about Fu Hao?
Hadn't he done so much for Yan Xi, yet he wasn't as important to her as Fu Hao?
"You don't seem very happy?" Fu Yanting wanted to get angry, but he remembered the doctor and nurse's instructions when Yan Xi was discharged, that he shouldn't upset her.
He suppressed his anger, looked at Yan Xi, and asked lightly.
