Yan Xi was trembling with anger at Fu Yan Ting’s words.
Her vision blurred as she looked at Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi seemed to not expect such hurtful words to come from Fu Yan Ting's mouth.
That was right, Fu Yan Ting didn't love her either. Fu Yan Ting's cruelty towards her seemed to be something she had grown accustomed to.
But Yan Xi’s heart ached deeply.
She had only coincidentally met He Yun, and He Yun had greeted her.
Yan Xi went to He Yun’s home because of He Xue Feng and Yao Wan Qi’s relationship. Yan Xi wanted to figure things out.
Previously, when she was in Yan City, the first time Yan Xi saw He Xue Feng, she heard him constantly call out Yao Wan Qi’s name.
When Yan Xi was in Kyoto, she had also always heard Yao Wan Qi mention He Xue Feng.
Yan Xi wanted to understand their relationship.
So, when He Yun invited Yan Xi to be a guest at the He family’s home, Yan Xi did not refuse.
However, Yan Xi did not expect to be caught by Fu Yan Ting, and that Fu Yan Ting would hurt her so publicly, disregarding her feelings.
He Yun could see that Fu Yan Ting had been quite lonely during the years Yan Xi was not by his side. But now that Yan Xi was back, he couldn’t understand why Fu Yan Ting would speak so harshly to her.
However, He Yun was an outsider and it was not appropriate for him to interfere in their marital affairs.
He Yun wisely stepped away.
When only Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting were left in the courtyard, Yan Xi did not want to speak with Fu Yan Ting and turned to leave.
But as she turned, Fu Yan Ting grabbed her arm.
Yan Xi frowned.
Before Yan Xi could speak, Fu Yan Ting preempted her, asking, "Yan Xi, Yan Zi Tong is my child, isn't he?"
Yan Xi didn’t know how Fu Yan Ting found out this truth. Hearing Fu Yan Ting’s question, Yan Xi froze, her eyes not daring to meet Fu Yan Ting’s. She spoke indifferently, "Who told you? You believe such unreliable news? This isn't like you."
If he hadn’t already known the truth, Fu Yan Ting would have believed Yan Xi’s words. But now, Xin Yi had already presented the evidence before him.
Hearing Yan Xi’s words, Fu Yan Ting responded with a cold laugh, "Is that so?"
Yan Xi dared not continue this topic with Fu Yan Ting. Yan Xi sensed that Fu Yan Ting didn't truly love children. The reason he came to question her was simply because he felt Yan Xi had deceived him.
But Yan Xi had never lied to Fu Yan Ting. Yan Xi had never mentioned the child in front of Fu Yan Ting.
"Fu Yan Ting, although I don't know where you heard that the child I gave birth to is yours, I still have to tell you, that is my child, and it has nothing to do with you."
Facing Yan Xi’s words, Fu Yan Ting sneered.
Yan Xi rarely saw Fu Yan Ting smile like this. Every time Fu Yan Ting smiled like this, nothing good would happen.
Yan Xi didn’t know how long she could keep it a secret, but now, Yan Xi was clearly unwilling to tell Fu Yan Ting the truth.
Seeing Yan Xi stubbornly denying it, Fu Yan Ting didn’t waste any more words. He directly presented the evidence before Yan Xi. Seeing the paternity test results, Yan Xi looked up at Fu Yan Ting in disbelief. Was he that idle?
Why would he go and do a paternity test?
Fu Yan Ting approached Yan Xi step by step. As he drew closer, Fu Yan Ting said with a cold laugh, "Yan Xi, what else do you have to say now?"
Yan Xi tried her best to calm herself. The person in front of her was Fu Yan Ting, not Mu Qing Xiang. Fu Yan Ting would not force Yan Xi to hand over the child and have them return to the Fu family to acknowledge their ancestors.
Yan Xi reassured herself mentally, then looked up at Fu Yan Ting and said, word by word, "Fu Yan Ting, even if you know the child is yours, so what? The child is my decision to give birth to, and I raised them alone. I will not let the child return to the Fu family."
Fu Yan Ting chuckled.
Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yan Ting was laughing at, but this was Yan City. Once Fu Yan Ting decided on something, it was difficult to reverse.
Yan Xi was already calculating how to flee with the child overnight.
If the person in front of her were not Fu Yan Ting, but someone else, Yan Xi would have a way to stop them. But it just so happened that Fu Yan Ting knew the child was his.
"Yan Xi, any woman is qualified to give birth to my child, but you are not qualified."
Fu Yan Ting pressed forward relentlessly.
Yan Xi could only retreat.
But Fu Yan Ting still had no intention of letting Yan Xi go. Finally, Yan Xi retreated to a corner with nowhere left to go.
Fu Yan Ting directly pinned Yan Xi against the wall, their poses extremely ambiguous.
At that critical moment.
He Xue Feng suddenly appeared. He was holding a broom and directly chased Fu Yan Ting away, muttering, "You scumbag, don't even think about touching my Wan Qi."
Wan Qi, that was her mother's name.
Yan Xi didn't have time to worry about that. Originally, Yan Xi had come to the He family today specifically to see He Xue Feng. She hadn't even had a chance to tell He Yun about this request when Fu Yan Ting suddenly barged in.
Now, He Xue Feng’s sudden appearance and his scolding of Fu Yan Ting left Fu Yan Ting unable to retaliate. Although Yan Xi knew He Xue Feng mistook her for Yao Wan Qi and had the wrong person, Yan Xi felt quite happy. Seeing Fu Yan Ting flustered, Yan Xi inexplicably felt like laughing.
Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely grim.
Few people knew about the madman of the He family, but Fu Yan Ting did. However, Fu Yan Ting hadn't expected Yan Xi to have such influence as to make a madman stand up for her.
He Yun, hiding in the shadows, felt a sense of relief when his second uncle intervened.
He saw Fu Yan Ting hurting Yan Xi, and as Fu Yan Ting's friend, he couldn't directly step in to stop it. So he thought of this plan, letting He Xue Feng step forward to stop it.
He hadn't expected that He Xue Feng, with his nonsensical ramblings and unconventional actions, would actually be a great help to He Yun.
Fu Yan Ting wanted to push He Xue Feng away. He knew He Xue Feng was a madman and worried he might harm Yan Xi.
But as Fu Yan Ting stepped forward, He Xue Feng pushed him away.
Fu Yan Ting dared not confront He Xue Feng directly and could only let himself be pushed aside.
Fu Yan Ting frowned and coldly commanded, "Yan Xi, walk over here yourself."
Yan Xi was not a fool. How could she willingly walk over to be bullied by Fu Yan Ting?
Yan Xi completely ignored Fu Yan Ting's words.
Fu Yan Ting sneered, "Yan Xi, I won't repeat myself a third time. Walk over here yourself."
"Impossible. Fu Yan Ting, don't even think about it."
Hearing Yan Xi say this, Fu Yan Ting's lips curled up as he said word by word, "Yan Xi, I know you're promiscuous, but I didn't expect you to spare even a madman."
