I do not agree.
Fu Yan Ting cast a dismissive glance at Shi Kai Nan and said, his voice devoid of warmth.
Shi Kai Nan was taken aback. Hadn't they said Fu Yan Ting loved Yan Xi deeply? Why wouldn't he even agree to see her? However, Shi Kai Nan quickly regained his composure. This was indeed Fu Yan Ting's modus operandi: ruthless and unfeeling. He could be so cruel even to his closest kin, let alone just a woman. Thinking this, Shi Kai Nan felt a sense of calm, though he pitied Yan Xi from the bottom of his heart. If Yan Xi knew how heartless and unforgiving Fu Yan Ting was, and that he didn't care if she lived or died, he wondered how she would react upon learning the truth. With this thought, Shi Kai Nan smirked, then turned to leave. As he reached the doorway of the ward, Shi Kai Nan paused and said, "Fu Yan Ting, you will regret your decision today." With that, he strode away without looking back.
After Shi Kai Nan left, Fu Yan Ting took out the address from under his pillow and reread it. He knew very well that Shi Kai Nan would not give up. Shi Kai Nan would surely take action. Therefore, Fu Yan Ting had to find Yan Xi before Shi Kai Nan did and either bring her back or hide her. Fu Yan Ting dared not delay for a moment. He understood that since Shi Kai Nan dared to come and negotiate with him, he must have found Yan Xi's whereabouts. Thus, Fu Yan Ting had to find Yan Xi before Shi Kai Nan could, so he could protect her. With this in mind, Fu Yan Ting, ignoring his own injuries, hurried out of the hospital.
A nurse frowned as she saw Fu Yan Ting getting out of bed and cautioned, "Why aren't you cooperating? You can't be discharged yet, your wounds haven't..." completely healed. Before the nurse could finish her sentence, Fu Yan Ting's menacing gaze startled her into silence. The nurse swallowed the rest of her words. Fu Yan Ting said coldly, "Help me with the discharge procedures immediately." He knew his own physical condition, and besides, at this moment, nothing was more important to Fu Yan Ting than Yan Xi's safety. Fu Yan Ting called Xin Yi, told him the address, and then went to find Yan Xi.
Upon arriving at Yan Xi's residence, Fu Yan Ting frowned. What kind of place was this? If it weren't for Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting might never have known that such dilapidated housing existed in Yan Cheng. This area was part of the Fu family's property. He had ordered its demolition three years ago and had even given the demolition compensation funds to the person in charge. Yet, three years later, this area slated for demolition still had residents. A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Fu Yan Ting's eyes. He couldn't afford to worry about anything else now; he had to find Yan Xi first.
Standing outside Yan Xi's apartment door, Fu Yan Ting raised his hand to knock several times but hesitated. He didn't know what to say to Yan Xi when he saw her. He didn't know how to get her to come home with him. For the first time in his life, Fu Yan Ting experienced an unprecedented fear. He was afraid of rejection. Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open, catching Fu Yan Ting by surprise. Fu Yan Ting mustered his courage, his eyes slightly closed, and said, "Mrs. Fu, I've come to take you home."
"Who are you, coming here looking for your wife?"
Suddenly, a strange woman's voice rang out above Fu Yan Ting's head. Fu Yan Ting was struck as if by lightning, his eyes snapping open. He looked at the stranger before him and then checked the address He Yun had given him. It was indeed this place. Fu Yan Ting frowned. Where had the mistake occurred? "Hello, I'm looking for a woman named Yan Xi," Fu Yan Ting said calmly.
"There's no such person here."
After speaking, the woman shut the door directly. Fu Yan Ting, who had just been rebuffed, looked even more displeased. At this moment, Fu Yan Ting truly felt fear. Since Shi Kai Nan also knew Yan Xi's whereabouts, and Yan Xi wasn't here, where could she have gone?
The woman closed the door and returned to the bedroom. Seeing Yan Xi, she asked, "The man who came looking for you just now, wasn't that your husband? What's the disagreement between you two? He seems very concerned about you. Marriage requires mutual communication, doesn't it? Even teeth bump against the tongue sometimes."
"Landlady, we're over. From now on, he has nothing to do with me." Yan Xi gave a bitter smile. Yes, Fu Yan Ting was good at putting on a show, at creating the persona of a devoted man. If Fu Yan Ting hadn't done what he did to Yan Xi, she would have been deceived by his false exterior. Unfortunately, she already knew his true nature. No matter what, Yan Xi's child would not return.
Seeing Yan Xi fall silent, the landlady didn't press further. After all, every family has its own troubles. Knocking sounded at the door again. The landlady glanced at Yan Xi. Young people nowadays, a good family can fall apart so quickly. She truly didn't understand what young people were thinking. If they weren't prepared to commit to marriage, why get married in the first place? The landlady calmly asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go out and see him?"
"Landlady, please tell him that I have moved out and that he should not look for me again." After speaking, Yan Xi curled up at the foot of the bed, hugging her knees with her hands, burying her head in them, trying to escape reality and hide herself in this way.
The landlady opened the door and saw a man of imposing presence standing at the entrance, but it wasn't Yan Xi's husband. The landlady paused and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Yan Xi. Please tell her that a friend wants to see her."
"You're a step too late. Yan Xi left yesterday." The landlady, unsure of who the person before her was, could only follow Yan Xi's instructions and speak to Shi Kai Nan. Shi Kai Nan knew that Yan Xi didn't want to see anyone, and this must have been Yan Xi asking the landlady to say that. Shi Kai Nan smirked and then called Yan Xi's phone on the spot. Yan Xi's phone was not on silent and rang in the room. The landlady looked at Shi Kai Nan with embarrassment and asked indifferently, "Who are you? If Yan Xi doesn't want to see you, why are you pestering her?"
Just as Shi Kai Nan was about to respond to the landlady, Yan Xi walked out of the room. Seeing Shi Kai Nan, Yan Xi asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"
"Xi Xi, I came to see you because I have something very important to tell you. Is it convenient for you now? Let's go out and have a good chat." Yan Xi frowned and fell silent. Deep down, Yan Xi was unwilling to go out alone with Shi Kai Nan.
