If Fu Yan Ting had no feelings for Yan Xi, why would he have signed that unequal treaty with her?
Everything Fu Yan Ting had done to the Lin family was for Yan Xi. Although they had divorced five years ago, Yan Xi still called Fu Yan Ting "husband."
Was this a lack of feelings?
If this was a lack of feelings, then Lin Qian didn't know what could be considered having feelings.
But now, she was asking for a favor. Even though Lin Qian was extremely unwilling, she had to maintain a smile on the surface, as she was currently 'asking for a favor.'
After leaving the coffee shop, Lin Qian returned to the hotel.
Upon seeing Lin Qian, Lin Nan couldn't help but frown. Although Lin Qian said nothing, Lin Nan knew clearly that Lin Qian had gone to see Yan Xi.
Lin Nan looked at Lin Qian and after a moment of silence, said lightly, "Mom, did you go to cause trouble for Yan Xi again?"
"What are you saying, child? What do you mean I went to cause trouble for Yan Xi?"
"Mom, why did Big Brother treat the Lin family like this? Don't you have any idea? Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Lin Qian was completely unconcerned about what she had done.
Hearing Lin Nan say this, Lin Qian scoffed dismissively and said lightly, "I gave him his life. What right does he have to act so arrogantly in front of me?"
Lin Nan looked at his mother. He couldn't tell if it was the dim hotel room lights or Lin Qian's excessive makeup, but he increasingly felt like he no longer recognized her.
The Lin Qian he remembered was a well-educated and sensible painter, but the woman before him, who was acting like a shrew, was completely different.
Lin Nan said faintly, "Mom, acting like this will only make Big Brother hate you even more."
"Heh."
Lin Qian was indifferent to Lin Nan's words. Fu Yan Ting hated her? What right did Fu Yan Ting have to hate her?
However, she didn't voice this in front of Lin Nan.
Lin Nan knew that once Lin Qian made up her mind, there was no changing it.
He sighed helplessly. He could only hope that Big Brother wouldn't make too big a deal out of this, otherwise, their Lin family would be in more trouble than just bankruptcy.
When Yan Xi returned home, it was still empty. Fu Yan Ting had not come back.
Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yan Ting was busy with, or if he was deliberately staying away because of their cold war, not wanting to see her or argue with her.
Thinking this, Yan Xi's expression turned extremely grim.
But Yan Xi couldn't afford to dwell on it. She knew Lin Qian's personality very well. If Yan Xi didn't go to Fu Yan Ting to discuss this matter for Lin Qian today, Lin Qian would definitely go to Yan Yi to cause trouble.
Although Lin Qian had put it simply, claiming she was only helping Yan Xi, Yan Xi was not foolish and could see the hidden meaning in Lin Qian's words.
Lin Qian spoke righteously, but given Lin Qian's dislike for Yan Xi, how could she possibly let Yan Xi have an easy time?
However, Yan Xi really didn't want to go beg Fu Yan Ting. They were currently in a cold war. If Yan Xi went to him, it would only make Fu Yan Ting think she was doing it deliberately.
Fu Yan Ting and Lin Qian's relationship was already strained. At that point, Fu Yan Ting would surely think Yan Xi was doing it on purpose.
Yan Xi had already decided to leave. She didn't want to get involved in the grievances between Fu Yan Ting and Lin Qian. Regardless, they were mother and son, and they would resolve their own conflicts.
Yan Xi remained silent.
Hearing the engine sound outside, Yan Xi knew Fu Yan Ting had returned.
Yan Xi quickly lay down in bed and pretended to be asleep.
Fu Yan Ting entered the room and, seeing Yan Xi asleep, walked to the bedside and pulled the blanket up for her.
Yan Xi inwardly cursed, "You annoying man, why aren't you leaving yet?"
However, the next second, Yan Xi was stunned. Fu Yan Ting didn't leave; instead, he lay down beside her.
Yan Xi was furious. She quickly sat up and glared at Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting remained calm about Yan Xi's behavior, not showing any anger.
Yan Xi questioned, "Why did you lie down? Weren't you supposed to be in the study working?"
Fu Yan Ting raised an eyebrow at Yan Xi, his gaze seeming to ask, "Are you done pretending?"
Yan Xi felt a bit awkward and coughed lightly, explaining, "I was sleeping soundly. Your arrival disturbed my rest."
"You talk too much."
Fu Yan Ting lay beside Yan Xi and said domineeringly, "Sleep."
With Fu Yan Ting lying beside her, how could Yan Xi possibly sleep?
Yan Xi lay on the bed, afraid to move.
Fu Yan Ting's breathing was even, so even that Yan Xi mistakenly thought he had fallen asleep.
Yan Xi cautiously moved a little.
But as soon as she moved, she heard Fu Yan Ting's low voice say, "If you dare to move again, I can't guarantee what I'll do."
Indeed, that sentence was highly effective. Hearing Fu Yan Ting say that, Yan Xi was so scared she didn't dare to move at all.
Fu Yan Ting held Yan Xi quietly. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Lin Qian came to see you today, didn't she?"
Although it was a question, Fu Yan Ting already had a definite answer in his heart. He knew very well that Lin Qian had come to cause trouble for Yan Xi.
This was because Lin Nan had called Fu Yan Ting and told him everything.
Fu Yan Ting had been furious upon hearing this and had rushed back as soon as he finished his work.
He had thought Yan Xi would tell him about it, but she hadn't.
When did their relationship reach this point?
Seeing Yan Xi's silence, Fu Yan Ting held her tighter. Yan Xi, on the other hand, was filled with confusion. How did Fu Yan Ting know Lin Qian had visited her?
Yan Xi hadn't told Fu Yan Ting about it yet.
The only logical explanation was that Fu Yan Ting had her followed.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi's expression turned extremely grim.
If Fu Yan Ting had people following her, he would have known everything. Yet, he had allowed Lin Qian to target and threaten her.
How could Fu Yan Ting be so heartless?
Thinking of this, Yan Xi's expression became even more grim.
Before Yan Xi could respond, Fu Yan Ting's voice came from behind her.
Fu Yan Ting said calmly, "Xi Xi, you don't need to worry about this. I will handle it."
Yan Xi didn't understand what Fu Yan Ting meant and ignored his words, turning her back to him.
Seeing that Yan Xi remained silent for a long time, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but frown.
