She, Leng Xinyu, wasn't a pushover. Even though she longed to divorce Lu Yihan, at this moment, she had to admit that she wanted to take revenge on Lan Ruoran. Calling him "husband" in front of her was just the most normal way of using resources.
She wasn't a saint. Why should she listen to others scolding her after she was slapped?
"…"
Lan Ruoran clutched her bag tightly. Faced with Xin Yu's words, she was speechless. She was angry, anxious, and indignant. She stomped her feet and then remembered Lu Yihan, who hadn't said a word all this while. When she looked at him, she was so angry that her face turned ashen.
Lu Yihan's gaze had been fixed on Xin Yu's face from the beginning to the end. It was the gaze of a man looking at a woman with deep yearning …
"Yihan, she … she scolded me like that. Why didn't you say anything?"
Lan Ruoran suddenly stepped forward. Her exquisitely made-up face was full of grievances and indignation. She stood in front of Xin Yu and blocked Lu Yihan's line of sight. "Yihan, this woman … she, she actually dared to scold me like that. Who gave her the guts? You? You guys just now … you couldn't have treated me like that, right? Tell her that she's the one who's a troll. Yihan — "
"Shut up!"
Lu Yihan frowned and interrupted Lan Ruoran. "What's the fuss about?"
"I …"
"Enough! What's the fuss about? It's giving me a headache. "
"Yihan …"
Lan Ruoran still wanted to say something, but Xin Yu moved quickly. While the two of them were arguing, she walked to the door, opened it, and quickly left.
She didn't want to be involved in such a scene. She took the slap as a lesson. Remember, in the future, don't believe Lu Yihan's words so casually! Moreover, she wasn't the kind of person who would fight on the spot. With Lu Yihan around, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. He wouldn't side with her. If she stayed to argue, it would only be disadvantageous to her.
…
Once the door was closed, Lan Ruoran started to make a fuss. Lu Yihan was getting a headache from her pestering. He flung her hand away and frowned. He looked at her sharply. "Stop arguing! I'm a normal man. Leng Xinyu is still my wife. Even if something happened between us, what's so strange? Do you think my old Master for a fool? He's been in England for a check-up recently. When he comes back, he'll definitely put pressure on me. He likes Leng Xinyu so much. Do you really think I can divorce her? . and didn't you just slapped her? She was slapped by you, but I didn't say anything. "
"…"
Lan Ruoran's heart trembled violently. She probably never dreamed that in less than a month, Leng Xinyu would come back from England. Lu Yihan, who had been dismissive of her, would now … protect her?
Was this considered protecting her?!
She subconsciously clenched her fists by her sides. She lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes covered the cold glint in her eyes. No, she couldn't watch things develop like this. Otherwise, it would be even more disadvantageous to her!
She had to stop it!
Xin Yu ran to the main entrance of the hotel in one breath. It was already afternoon and the weather was good, but she wasn't in a good mood. Her left cheek was still aching from the slap. Lan Ruoran had used a lot of strength in that slap, so it was still burning.
She wore a trench coat with the collar turned up to cover the handprint on her cheek.
The cell phone in her bag rang. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a call from Mu Chenchu. Xin Yu calmed herself down before answering the call. "Chenchen, you're back?"
"No, Xin Yu. I can't come back today. Something happened with my parents and I have to deal with it. I might have to take tomorrow off. Help me apply for leave."
Xin Yu grunted. "No problem. I'll help you apply for leave. Be careful."
Mu Chenchu was probably very busy. He didn't say much and hung up.
Xin Yu put away her cell phone and stood at the entrance of the hotel to wait for a taxi. She reached out to tug at her collar from time to time, afraid that the passersby would recognize her. After all, she was a member of the Lu family. In a hotel like this, many people would recognize her. If word got out, it wouldn't be good.
Right now, she really wanted to divorce this marriage quietly.
Xin Yu found a pair of sunglasses in her bag. Just as she was about to put them on, a black car suddenly stopped in front of her. She looked up and saw the familiar license plate number. Her expression changed instantly. She instinctively turned around to leave, but the car door behind her was already pushed open.
A man's steady footsteps caught up with her. The next second, someone grabbed her wrist.
"… Qin Fangang, let go of me …"
She lowered her voice. She had already put on her sunglasses, and the black lenses hid the panic in her eyes. She carefully tugged at her collar with one hand and cautiously observed her surroundings, afraid that someone would see her.
She recalled what Lan Ruoran had said earlier. Lu Yihan should be a frequent guest of this hotel. With their sensitive identities, how could they touch each other at the entrance of the hotel?
Qin Fangang frowned. He looked at her fully armed and cautious manner. His tall body inched closer to her as he asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
Xin Yu was afraid that people entering and leaving the hotel would see them. Qin Fangang's exposure was too high. Anyone who entered or left such a place would definitely recognize him. Moreover, Lu Yihan and Lan Ruoran were staying here …
"… Qin Fangang, let go of me. We'll be seen."
As she struggled and twisted her body, the collar of her trench coat, which had been standing upright, fell limply to the ground. The clear handprint on her face was instantly exposed. Qin Fangang naturally saw it. He narrowed his deep eyes and tightened his grip on her. He pulled her into his embrace and reached out with his other hand to hold Xin Yu's slender waist. He frowned and his deep voice was tinged with coldness. "What's wrong with your face?"
"…"
Xin Yu panicked and instinctively turned her face away. "… It's nothing. Let go of me, Qin Fangang …"
"Get in the car!"
There were many people entering and exiting the hotel entrance. Qin Fangang knew what she was afraid of, so he simply led her to his car.
Xin Yu was initially a little repulsed and didn't want to get in the car. However, she knew how strong Qin Fangang was. It was indeed safer for her to get in the car rather than the two of them pushing and pulling each other.
As soon as the car door closed, Qin Fangang started the engine. Xin Yu was still tugging at her collar the whole way. She didn't even take off her sunglasses. She didn't know where Qin Fangang was taking her, but she heard him make a phone call halfway through. It was probably his brother, Ji Yang.
"… Yes, tell the other party that something came up at the last minute. We'll meet again tomorrow."
Xin Yu's ears twitched. So it was really a coincidence that they had just bumped into each other at the hotel entrance. From the content of his phone call, he was probably going to meet someone.
After driving for about 15 minutes, Qin Fangang finally stopped the car by the roadside. Xin Yu wasn't very familiar with D City, so she didn't know where she was. However, looking around the road, there weren't many cars. Qin Fangang rolled down the window and lit a cigarette. After taking two puffs, he said, "Tell me, how did you get there just now? Who did this to your face?"
Xin Yu hesitated for a moment. She could tell that Qin Fangang meant well, but she felt that there was no need to tell him too much. Moreover, it involved Lu Yihan and Lan Ruoran. What was the point of telling him?
"… I don't want to talk about my own matters."
Qin Fangang rested his hand on the car window with the cigarette between his fingers. The moment he heard what she said, his slender fingers flicked away the ashes and his voice deepened. "I'll ask you one more time. Who did this to your face? Xin Yu, if you don't say anything, I have my ways of finding out. Are you sure you don't want to say anything? "
"…"
Xin Yu bit her lip. At this moment, she really felt like she was going crazy. She was forced by Lu Yihan, by Lan Ruoran, and now by Qin Fangang. She knew that Qin Fangang was different from Lu Yihan and Lan Ruoran. However, it was precisely this difference that made her flustered. She always wanted to escape, but he kept pushing her, not giving her any room to breathe. She felt like she was in a difficult situation. Whether it was taking a step forward or a step back, it was difficult.
It was impossible for a person to be without morals and shame. However, humans couldn't control their own emotions. How good would it be if a switch was installed in everything?
When it should be on, it would be on, and when it shouldn't be on, it would be off.
"… Why do you have to care about my matters? Qin Fangang, you and I belong to two different worlds. We can never stand on the same line. You want me to solve all the problems by myself … "
"Then which line are you on?" Qin Fangang furrowed his brows. He reached over with the hand that was holding the cigarette and grabbed her chin. He pulled off the sunglasses on her face and forced her to look into his eyes.
Xinyu's entire body began to tremble. It was this feeling of not being able to control herself. It was so strong that she couldn't control it at all. Moreover, as time passed, as long as he looked at her now, she could see her face even more clearly in the depths of his pitch-black pupils.
It was as if her entire being was reflected in his heart.
It was as if she was the only existence in his entire world.
…
"Hmm? Tell me which line you're on. I'll go over and stand with you. " Qin Fangang's slightly rough thumb gently stroked her smooth chin. His deep male voice was sexy and intoxicating. "Are you going to push me away too?"
"…"
"Xin Yu …"
She didn't say anything. Her dark eyes flickered continuously. All the nervousness and uneasiness seemed to be written in the depths of her eyes.
Qin Fangang looked at her fair little face that was faintly red. That nervous and uneasy look wasn't because she was resisting his touch. It was more like she was clearly moved, but she didn't dare to accept it. She looked like she was struggling with herself.
His heart skipped a beat, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He loosened his grip on her chin and reached out to throw the cigarette out of the car window. When he leaned over again, he accurately kissed her on the lips.
