Chapter 53 I Can't Bear It

Wen Nanxi felt as if a feather was prickling her heart, and her eyes became moist. She quickly hid her head in her arms.

She didn't know when it started, but she was unwilling to show her vulnerable side in front of Fu Ci Yan.

Fu Ci Yan had said this before. At that time, they had been married for half a year, and it was only after he said this that she personally designed their wedding rings.

She gradually opened her heart and let down her guard in Fu Ci Yan's love.

She acts like a spoiled child, cries, and throws tantrums, all because she loves him.

But now she is strong, stubborn and refuses to bow her head, because this love can no longer support her.

"Baby, can you please respond to me? Don't be silent."

Fu Ci Yan keenly noticed the tenseness in Wen Nanxi's body. He put one hand on her head and gently coaxed her to speak.

Wen Nanxi's armor nearly collapsed. She raised her head, and the tears in her eyes had disappeared.

"Fu Ciyan, please don't treat me like this anymore. I can't stand it."

She didn't have such strong self-control to withstand such a gentle offensive.

She couldn't resist it three years ago, and she still couldn't resist it three years later.

This tenderness was so tempting that she didn't realize that this sweetness was mixed with deadly poison.

"You are my wife, you can handle it."

Fu Ci Yan's eyes were full of affection as he looked at Wen Nanxi firmly.

In almost a moment, Wen Nanxi almost couldn't resist, but thoughts were surging in his mind.

He must have been so affectionate towards Ji Jiaojiao before...

His eyes became clear again, and Wen Nanxi didn't want to talk about this topic with Fu Ci Yan anymore. It was meaningless.

She enjoyed this moment of peace. They hadn't had a good conversation for a long time. She curled her lips and said:

"You saved me again, for the second time. How can I repay you?"

Fu Ciyan was slightly stunned: "Second time?"

Memories welled up in Wen Nanxi's mind:

"Well, the last time was when I was in the third grade of junior high school. Wen Xudong dragged me into the men's bathroom, and you rushed in and punched every one of us. You were really handsome back then."

This was the first time that Wen Nanxi and Fu Ci Yan took the initiative to talk about the past. Those things had once made Wen Nanxi deeply depressed. Even though it had been a long time ago, she still didn't want to mention it.

The words 'You were really handsome back then' made Fu Ci Yan's heart move, and he actually tasted a hint of sweetness. This made him feel quite good, and his tense mood relaxed.

"That wasn't the first time. The first time was when you were in the first grade of junior high school. During the autumn outing, your camera was snatched away by your classmates. You were so anxious that you cried on the spot. I helped you get the camera back."

Wen Nanxi's heart trembled.

camera?

Memories deep in her mind were dug out, and she finally remembered that autumn.

At that time, she was already deeply involved in bullying. No one in the class wanted to play with her. The male classmates always liked to bully her. She was not sociable and during the autumn outing, she hid in a corner alone to take pictures of maple leaves.

She was so engrossed in taking pictures that she didn't notice her camera was snatched away.

That was a relic left to her by her mother, which contained many photos of her mother. After she got it back, she was in a hurry to check the camera, and her eyes were blurry from crying, so she couldn't see clearly who the person was.

It turned out to be Fu Ci Yan!

It turns out they had met so early.

"So...that person is you."

Wen Nanxi felt mixed emotions. She thought she had repaid the favor in the past three years, but it turned out that she still owed him so much.

"Thank you, that camera is very important to me."

Fu Ci Yan didn't expect that after so many years he could still hear her gratitude for that matter. He suddenly felt that Wen Nanxi was a little silly and cute.

"Just a thank you is enough? Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?"

Wen Nanxi pursed her lips: "But I don't have anything to give you now."

Fu Ciyan grabbed her fair hand and kissed her slender fingers:

"Then you owe me a promise. I'll ask you for it back when I think of it."

Wen Nanxi felt an itch on her fingertips, so she pulled her fingers back and lowered her eyes, not looking at him.

It had been a long time since they had such a harmonious time. As soon as Wen Nanxi relaxed, he became drowsy. Listening to the even breathing of the person beside him, Fu Ci Yan felt extremely at ease in his heart, and even hoped that such time could last a little longer.

There was a knock on the door, Wen Nanxi's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes almost instantly, as if she was frightened.

Fu Ciyan touched her head and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, it's Aunt Zhao who's here to deliver lunch."

Aunt Zhao prepared a few side dishes that were light, easy to digest, and nutritious. She placed the food on the table and said,

"I also made chicken soup in the kitchen. If my wife is hungry this afternoon, she can have some."

Fu Ci Yan was very satisfied with Aunt Zhao's care. Although she had argued with him several times, as long as she was nice to Wen Nanxi, there was no problem.

When he turned around, Wen Nanxi had already put on her clothes and walked over. He couldn't help but praise her:

"Aunt Zhao, you're so nice! I love you so much! How did you know I wanted chicken soup?"

Aunt Zhao smiled brightly. "I saw you eat those wontons last time and I knew you liked them. Sir and Madam, please eat quickly. I'll be going downstairs first."

Wen Nanxi spoke a few more words to Aunt Zhao in a warm and affectionate manner before sitting down at the dinner table.

Fu Ci Yan felt a little jealous for no reason. Why wasn't she so affectionate to him?

"You're really nice to Aunt Zhao."

Wen Nanxi was really feeling a little hungry at this moment, so he fiddled with the dishes and said casually:

"Because Aunt Zhao is nice to me."

She has always been like this. If you treat her well, she will treat you well in return.

But if you treat her badly, it's like being unfaithful once and then you'll never trust her again. She will always put up high walls against this person.

Fu Ciyan licked his back teeth and looked at this heartless guy:

"Am I not good to you?"

Wen Nanxi paused with his chopsticks.

Good? It used to be good.

But after that, every single thing that happened, every single one of them crushed her true heart to the ground.

Seeing that Wen Nanxi was silent again, Fu Ciyan was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and threw it into Wen Nanxi's bowl:

"Does eating affect your conversation? You're being cold and violent to me every day!"

Wen Nanxi: ...

Who is using cold violence against whom?

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

The cell phone vibrated. Wen Nanxi put down her dishes and went to the bed to get the phone. She saw that it was He Yan calling.

She glanced at Fu Ci Yan and knew that the two of them had a bad relationship, so she ran to the bathroom to answer it.

Fu Ci Yan frowned, the food in front of him no longer smelled good, and he walked towards the bathroom.

But he only heard the word "Yan" and stopped abruptly, standing where he was.

It's him again...

But within a few minutes, he heard Wen Nanxi's accusation of grievance, and Fu Ciyan's heart was filled with dense pain.

Even though he has done so much, is he still not as good as the man in Wen Nanxi's heart?

Why did she say so much to He Yan but not to herself?

At this moment, Fu Ci Yan wanted to rush into the bathroom and ask Wen Nanxi.

In what way is he inferior to He Yan?

But his good upbringing made him unable to move a step, and he could only turn around and leave the bedroom, slamming the door, revealing his dissatisfaction...
