Yu Tingwan sheathed the dagger and stood by He Mingxuan's bed for a long time before staring at him and coldly uttering, 'When are you getting married?'
He Mingxuan stared blankly at Yu Tingwan, utterly unprepared for her to ask such a question.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, 'Are you serious?'
Yu Tingwan looked down at him, her tone icy, 'Otherwise?'
Just as He Mingxuan was about to speak, Yu Tingwan's phone rang suddenly.
She glanced at the number, turned, and left the hospital room, heading to the stairwell to answer the call.
But before the call connected, someone abruptly pulled her into a corner.
The person pressed her against the wall, their voice low and strained, brimming with unbridled fury, 'Yu Tingwan, who are you going to marry?'
Yu Tingwan gazed calmly at the man before her.
His face was twisted with anger, his hands gripping her shoulders trembled slightly, his eyes, usually bright like peach blossoms, now tinged with a hint of red, his teeth clenched, breathing heavy.
Seeing her silence, Si Yanchen couldn't help but tighten his grip, 'You... are you marrying He Mingxuan?'
His voice quivered, also struggling to contain his seething rage.
Si Yanchen felt as if he were losing his mind.
At Yunshui Restaurant, he had watched helplessly as He Mingxuan called her 'Wanwan', claimed she was his fiancée, and peeled shrimp for her.
And she thought he was jealous, forcing a plate of West Lake Vinegar Fish into his hands.
Knowing full well he disliked sour food!
That half plate of vinegar fish was so sour it made his teeth ache.
Yet he had to eat it without showing any emotion, not wanting to reveal anything in front of them.
Did she find it amusing watching him eat something he detested?
Then, she left together with He Mingxuan, even personally seeing him to the hospital, and just now, the distance between them was so close...
Just a bit closer, and they could have kissed.
At that moment, Si Yanchen's mind went blank, missing everything else, only hearing Yu Tingwan ask He Mingxuan when they would get married.
Si Yanchen's eyes grew redder, as if they might bleed.
So, he fled awkwardly to the stairwell, calling Yu Tingwan again.
Knowing her habits, he knew she'd instinctively seek a secluded spot, like the stairwell, to take calls.
He waited here, hoping to catch her.
All the pent-up emotions within him erupted uncontrollably upon touching her.
Si Yanchen suddenly leaned in, biting her neck.
He didn't bite hard, merely grazing her smooth skin with his teeth, inhaling the pleasant scent of peach blossom from her, which gradually calmed his agitated blood.
'Yu Tingwan... do you have a heart?'
Si Yanchen held her tightly, his voice hoarse and muddled.
'Si Yanchen.'
After a long pause, she spoke in a cold, emotionless tone.
Not a trace of warmth or feeling.
Even though he clung to her and kissed her for a long while, her voice remained as calm and unchanging as ever.
While he was in turmoil, she remained as serene as water, undisturbed by even the slightest ripple.
A sudden sense of defeat and panic surged within Si Yanchen.
Yu Tingwan pushed Si Yanchen away, her gaze indifferent, 'You've been following me.'
Si Yanchen's blood turned cold inch by inch due to her words. He opened his mouth to explain, 'I...'"
"'I told you before,'"
"Yun Tingwan's voice was slightly cold. She stared at Si Yanchen's stunningly handsome face, watching the confusion and panic in his eyes, and said word by word, 'Our relationship is over.'"
"The color drained from Si Yanchen's face."
"Following me, having people watch me, sabotaging my date with He Mingxuan, deliberately inserting yourself into our situation, creating a chaotic scene for four people—was that fun?"
"Yun Tingwan looked at Si Yanchen with a half-smile, 'How did I never know you were so jealous and had such twisted tastes before?'"
"Of course, she knew Si Yanchen had deliberately appeared at the Yunshui Restaurant."
"The Si family and the He family had no cooperation, and the He family couldn't interfere with the Si family's interests. Si Yanchen was simply jealous, couldn't stand He Mingxuan, so he intentionally caused trouble and targeted him."
"Very childish."
"The pressure around Si Yanchen was extremely low. He stared at Yun Tingwan, with all sorts of complex emotions wildly flashing in his eyes."
"For a moment, he wanted to knock Yun Tingwan unconscious and take her back, imprisoning her in his villa, where every day and night, she would only have him by her side, and she could only belong to him, seeing only him!"
"Si Yanchen clenched his fists tightly, and because of the force, his nails had deeply embedded into his palms."
"Trickles of blood seeped out, but Si Yanchen didn't notice."
"It felt like a beast was roaring within his blood."
"His heart was beating rapidly, and his veins seemed ready to burst."
"All signs indicated..."
"He was losing control."
"Si Yanchen suddenly let go of Yun Tingwan, remembering to put on his mask before running away."
"Yun Tingwan frowned, staring at Si Yanchen's retreating figure, a hint of confusion in her eyes."
"Something was wrong with Si Yanchen."
"Earlier, his temperature had suddenly risen, his heartbeat and pulse rate accelerated, the blood vessels in his eyes became more prominent, and the veins on his forehead stood out, as if he was struggling to endure something."
"This symptom..."
"Yun Tingwan had never seen it on Si Yanchen before."
"But soon, her expression changed."
"She couldn't ignore Si Yanchen's bloodshot eyes and the myriad of complex emotions swirling within them."
"A thought she had never considered before surfaced in her mind."
"Why was Si Yanchen called a madman, and why did the entire Si family fear him, even going to great lengths to exile him to the countryside?"
"When He Mingxuan saw Si Yanchen, his first reaction was also fear."
"Yun Tingwan quickly followed after him."
"But Si Yanchen ran too fast, and Yun Tingwan couldn't see his back, only catching sight of his dark gray Ghost speeding away."
"Without hesitation, Yun Tingwan hailed a taxi: 'To Jing Shuixianju!'"
"The taxi driver was momentarily stunned and asked curiously, 'Young lady, that place is a top-tier villa area. You...'"
"Yun Tingwan immediately tossed several hundred-yuan bills to the driver, her voice cold: 'As fast as possible.'"
"The driver pressed down hard on the accelerator, starting the car."
"However, when it came to performance, the taxi clearly couldn't compete with the Ghost.
Yutingwan's eyes were filled with even more coldness.
Her car hadn't arrived in Yunjing yet, so Fang He usually picked her up.
However, with Fang He busy and an urgent matter at hand, she had no choice but to hail a taxi.
The taxi quickly stopped outside Jing Shui Xianju.
In the driver's astonished gaze, Yutingwan got out directly and ran straight towards the security guard.
After a brief exchange, she swiftly mounted a silver-gray motorcycle, dashing into the villa like a silver-gray flash.
The driver even dropped his cigarette in shock. 'Goodness, I really can't understand the minds of these wealthy folks.'
Those who lived in Jing Shui Xianju were all top-tier billionaires. Such a billionaire... taking a taxi!
