Chapter 69 Was Fu Yan Ting the one who told you to say this to me?
Yan Xi did not tell Fu Yan Ting why she left home.
And Fu Yan Ting, with tacit understanding, did not press for an explanation.
Neither of them brought it up again, as if it had been put to rest.
But Yan Xi knew clearly in her heart that there was a rift between her and Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting would not accept the child in her belly.
They were, in the end, destined to be apart.
Fu Yan Ting had been taking care of Yan Xi in the hospital for three days. It was only because of pressing company matters that he had to reluctantly leave her room.
After Fu Yan Ting left, Yan Xi’s smile disappeared.
She did not know how she would face Fu Yan Ting in the future. Moreover, she was already nearly three months pregnant. In another two months, in her second trimester, her belly would grow bigger. By then, if Fu Yan Ting pressed her, how would Yan Xi explain it to him?
Yan Xi fell into deep thought.
She didn't even notice when someone knocked and entered.
Shi Wen Wen, in her high heels, sneered at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi turned, saw Shi Wen Wen, and her face went blank. She asked with annoyance, "What are you doing here?"
"Yan Xi, you are truly shameless. Fu Yan Ting has treated you this way, yet you can still remain by his side so calmly."
Yan Xi did not understand what Shi Wen Wen meant.
She did not know what Fu Yan Ting had done to her.
She looked at Shi Wen Wen and retorted with irritation, "That's my business, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about it."
"Indeed, love makes one blind. Perhaps you don't know yet, Fu Yan Ting knows that the child in your womb is still there, and he has already instructed the doctor to abort it."
"What did you say?"
Yan Xi's mind buzzed, as if struck by lightning.
What was Shi Wen Wen saying?
Seeing Yan Xi's ashen face, Shi Wen Wen felt even better.
She knew that Yan Xi did not know about this yet.
It was fine; she would tell Yan Xi, as if sharing good news.
"Looking at you, you seem to know nothing yet. That's right, if you knew that the child in your womb was gone, you wouldn't have this attitude towards Fu Yan Ting."
Shi Wen Wen seemed to have seen right through Yan Xi.
Yan Xi, lying on the hospital bed, was already weak and pale. Now, she was even paler.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor and nurses."
Yan Xi lay there, ignoring Shi Wen Wen. Her hands were hidden under the blankets, clenched tightly into fists.
Yan Xi silently questioned herself.
Was what Shi Wen Wen said true?
Had Fu Yan Ting really done this?
Fu Yan Ting had been by her side for the past two days, so gentle to her, so gentle that Yan Xi wished time could freeze at this moment, that she and Fu Yan Ting would never be apart again, living together in mutual dependence.
But now Shi Wen Wen had come to tell her that all of this was an illusion.
"You came just to tell me this. I know now, you can leave."
Yan Xi pretended to be calm. She glanced at Shi Wen Wen and said indifferently.
Shi Wen Wen smiled triumphantly. Since she had come, how could she leave so easily? She would not let Yan Xi off the hook.
She wanted Yan Xi to suffer a hundred times more than she had endured.
Seeing Yan Xi's anger, Shi Wen Wen smiled even more triumphantly. She hadn't intended to let Yan Xi go so easily.
"Yan Xi, do you know why Fu Yan Ting aborted this child?"
Yan Xi was completely stimulated now. She didn't want to hear the word "child" anymore, especially from Shi Wen Wen's mouth. She didn't want to know.
"Because Fu Yan Ting hates children conceived through IVF the most. It has to do with his background. He detests celebrating birthdays. The last time we went to his villa to celebrate his birthday, it wasn't his real birthday at all."
Shi Wen Wen had been with Fu Yan Ting for many years. She considered herself to understand Fu Yan Ting's temperament well.
As for Fu Yan Ting's background, it was a humiliating secret he could not speak of.
Fu Yan Ting would never tell anyone.
Therefore, Shi Wen Wen was certain that Yan Xi knew nothing about this.
This was good; in that case, Shi Wen Wen could gloat in front of Yan Xi.
Yan Xi, with her back to Shi Wen Wen, ignored her.
But Shi Wen Wen did not care.
The more pain Yan Xi felt, the more pleasure Shi Wen Wen derived.
It wasn't until He Yun arrived at the ward and saw Shi Wen Wen that He Yun frowned and asked indifferently, "Why are you in Xi Xi's ward?"
Shi Wen Wen had learned from He Qi that He Yun treated Yan Xi differently.
And now, with Fu Yan Ting absent, He Yun had come to Yan Xi's ward to see her. What did this imply? It implied that their relationship was not ordinary.
Shi Wen Wen was troubled about how to destroy Yan Xi when He Yun, as if on cue, appeared. Since that was the case, she would not be polite.
Just as Shi Wen Wen was about to explain,
Yan Xi preempted her.
Yan Xi said coldly, "He Yun, I don't want to see her. Make her leave."
"Okay, Xi Xi. Calm down. You can't get angry."
Seeing Yan Xi's agitated state, He Yun didn't know whether to drive Shi Wen Wen away first or soothe Yan Xi's emotions.
"I'm not angry, I'm very calm. I don't want to see her. Make her leave. If she doesn't leave, then I will."
"Xi Xi, lie down and don't move. I'll make her leave."
He Yun first soothed Yan Xi's emotions, then looked at Shi Wen Wen and said indifferently, "You heard her. You are not welcome here, Miss Shi. Please leave."
With He Yun's arrival, Shi Wen Wen could no longer deal with Yan Xi.
She had no reason to linger here anymore. She strode out of Yan Xi's ward.
After Shi Wen Wen left, Yan Xi looked at He Yun and asked, "He Yun, what did you mean by that just now? You said I can't get angry. Why can't I get angry?"
"If you get angry, your skin will become very bad, and you'll get wrinkles. I know you girls are very concerned about your looks. Xi Xi, promise me you won't get angry, okay?"
He Yun naturally knew that the child in Yan Xi's womb was gone.
However, he could not say it in front of Yan Xi.
He had to come up with a poor excuse to brush it off.
He Yun had initially thought Yan Xi was easy to fool.
But he found out he was wrong.
Yan Xi did not believe his excuse at all.
"Was it Fu Yan Ting who told you to say this to me?"
Yan Xi's voice was very soft, so soft that He Yun initially didn't realize she was talking to him.
When He Yun reacted, his body stiffened, unsure how to answer Yan Xi.
"He Yun, didn't you say you considered me a friend? If that's the case, then I want to hear the truth. Tell me, is the child in my womb still there?"
