Xu Yanxi finally comprehended that he was referring to the news.
âYes, I can do anything to get what I want,â Xu Yanxi replied, showing no fear of Xiao Yichenâs anger.
âMust I reiterate it? 1 donât love you,â Xiao Yichen said.
Xu Yanxiâs heart quivered intensely upon hearing his words. She couldnât hide a trace of bitterness, but she kept her composure. She mustered all her strength to remain calm.
âYou donât love me? Do you love Lin Wan?â Xu Yanxi asked, then answered, âChen, the more you love her, the more 1 might⦠1 might hate her.â
Xiao Yichen didnât respond immediately, thinking deeply about Xu Yanxiâs words. So, what she meant wasâ¦
âYou know my personality best. I will undoubtedly, personally destroy the person I despise.â Xu Yanxi gritted her teeth.
Her long history with Xiao Yichen since childhood made her unafraid of him.
She was not scared even when he was furious unless he underwent a drastic transformation.
âHow dare you!â Xiao Yichen yelled. His expression was terrifyingly cold as he stared at Xu Yanxi and said, âIf you ever lay a hand on her, I wonât let you go.â
No one could hurt his wife.
Even if it was Yanxi, he couldnât have been ruthless before, but now he might be.
Upon observing Xiao Yichenâs expression, Xu Yanxi started feeling slightly fearful. Tears welled up in her eyes, and after a while, she began crying.
âXiao Yichen, how could you do this for her?â Xu Yanxi cried and made a scene. âYou used to adore me immensely, and now youâre willing to harm me. How could you?â
Xu Yanxi lightly struck Xiao Yichenâs body with her hands as she spoke, though it lacked force.
Xiao Yichen looked at Xu Yanxi with a sense of helplessness, uncertain about how to respond.
âWhatâs so great about Lin Wan? Why are you so good to her?â Xu Yanxi inquired as she sobbed. âYou once promised to treat me well forever. Boo hoo⦠Have you forgotten what you said?â
Xu Yanxiâs crying moved Xiao Yichen, his lips trembling as he tried to say something several times but couldnât find the words.
After a lengthy pause, he spoke gentler, âAlright, stop crying.â
âKeep crying, and youâll turn into an ugly cat,â Xiao Yichen said, offering a few tissues and turning to wipe Xu Yanxiâs tears.
Upon seeing his actions, Xu Yanxi gradually stopped crying, though her gaze remained angry as she watched him.
âThen, do you like cats?â Xu Yanxi timidly asked Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen paused and pondered momentarily but did not answer Xu Yanxiâs question. Instead, he said, âGo inside and wash your face. Iâll take you out to lunch.â
Xu Yanxi didnât receive a direct response, but Xiao Yichenâs words diverted her attention. She responded enthusiastically, âYes, 1 want to have Western food. Shall we have Western food for lunch together?â
Xiao Yichen observed the swift change in Xu Yanxiâs expression but remained silent. He eventually nodded in defeat.
At noon, Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi finished lunch. Xu Yanxi proposed seeing a movie in the afternoon, but Xiao Yichen declined, citing work-related obligations.
After returning to the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen concluded his work after 6 PM. Instead of driving to Blue Bay villa, he visited his mother-in-lawâs home.
After dinner, Lin Wan and her mother were preparing to clear the table and wash the dishes when they heard the doorbell ring.
âWho could that be?â Qiao Yujuan asked in confusion before going to the door to answer it..
