Chapter 71 Do you think I'm dead?

All eyes were on Lin Xiyin.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense.

The air seemed to have stopped circulating, and you could even feel the violent sparks crackling and popping.

It's going to explode in the next second.

Aside from the three individuals directly involved, everyone else in this room probably felt that even breathing was difficult.

Lin Xiyin remained silent for a few seconds, and just as she was about to move, her arm was pinned down by Chi Tianlin.

He stopped her from getting up.

He placed his hand on Lin Xiyin's arm and then quickly removed it. Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at Lin Xiyin.

His gaze remained fixed on Pei Muye.

But to outsiders, such actions appear familiar and friendly.

Pei Muye's gaze grew even colder.

Chi Tianlin spoke up: "You tell her to go, and she goes? What, is she your possession? Does she have to listen to you?"

Pei Muye's voice was icy: "What kind of relationship I have with her is none of your business."

"Whether it's your turn or not is probably not up to you." Chi Tianlin even chuckled. "Ruan Ruan is a person with her own will. What she wants to do, who she wants to be with, what, does President Pei have to interfere and completely control her life?"

He called Lin Xiyin by her nickname, and Pei Muye's gaze was like a sharp sword, shooting towards Chi Tianlin.

But soon, he scoffed, "Incomprehensible."

He went to see Lin Xiyin and said again, "Come with me."

Chi Tianlin then looked at Lin Xiyin and said, "Reject him."

Lu Zuofan was the one who understood Pei Muye the most.

The emotions surging in Pei Muye's eyes seemed to have calmed down at this moment.

But Lu Zuofan knew that this was only the prelude to his rage.

If things are left to develop unchecked, the consequences could become uncontrollable.

Lu Zuofan spoke up: "Chi Tianlin, don't go looking for trouble. What are you meddling in their business?"

Those nearby felt a jolt run down their spines upon hearing this!

Did they mishear?

A couple?

Who is married to whom?

Lin Xiyin...are she and Pei Muye a couple?

They were actually a couple!

Lin Xiyin is actually Pei Muye's wife?

What is Chi Tianlin doing?

He usually doesn't have any women around him, and he finally found one, but how come it's his mortal enemy Pei Muye's woman?

Have all the women in the world died?

Why go to Pei Muye's wife?

The people looked at Chi Tianlin with a hint of resentment.

They really can't afford to offend Pei Muye.

Besides, even if Chi Tianlin and Pei Muye don't get along, they shouldn't make jokes about women like that.

Also, is Lin Xiyin stupid?

Doesn't she know what the relationship is between Chi Tianlin and Pei Muye?

How dare she openly appear with Chi Tianlin and even call him a friend?

Regardless of what the people present were thinking, Chi Tianlin remained calm and composed.

Despite what seemed like a catastrophe to those people, he remained unfazed and even handled the situation with ease.

He looked at Lu Zuofan and said, "Who do you think you are, barking like that?"

Lu Zuofan was furious: "You're the one who's biting like a mad dog! With your dog-shit temper, who would like you? Tell me, what methods did you use to threaten Lin Xiyin? You're a grown man, how dare you!"

At this point, Chi Tianlin's expression changed slightly: "You must often use such methods to deal with women, which is why you think like this. Sure enough, people with ulterior motives see everything as dirty."

Chi Tianlin and Lu Zuofan were locked in a fierce confrontation, while Pei Muye simply looked at Lin Xiyin.

Those dark eyes concealed all emotions, leaving only a profound depth.

Chi Tianlin patted Lin Xiyin on the shoulder: "Ruan Ruan, tell them what our relationship is. Did I force you?"

This is what Lin Xiyin fears most.

It's not that she's afraid of Pei Muye, it's just that she hasn't gone through the formalities with him yet.

Now that Pei Muyi has caught him red-handed, it's...troublesome.

In the past, Lin Xiyin would have considered Pei Muye's feelings and worried that he might overthink things.

But now, I don't care who it is.

Anyway, it's already like this.

She said, "What kind of society is this now? How could there still be anything forced? It's my honor to be friends with Mr. Chi."

After saying that, she stood up, looked down at Chi Tianlin, and said, "I'm very happy today. I should go back now. Goodbye."

She didn't look at anyone else, and walked away.

Pei Muye waited for her to pass by before speaking: "Chi Tianlin, don't think I wouldn't dare to touch you. Remember this, she's my wife, so stay away from her in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and chased after Lin Xiyin.

Lu Zuofan said, "Chi Tianlin, you haven't dated a woman for so many years, what, you've taken a fancy to our CEO Pei's wife? Well, I'm sorry, even if our CEO Pei doesn't want someone, he won't want you."

He smiled and waved, "Bye-bye!"

After the three of them left, the private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Lang couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Brother, what... what's going on? Is Lin Xiyin really Pei Muye's wife?"

Chi Tianlin suddenly smiled.

Then, he stood up, straightened his cufflinks, and suddenly kicked the mahjong machine over.

Everyone gasped in surprise, then fell silent as chickens a second later.

I watched helplessly as Chi Tianlin walked away with a stiff face.

Lin Xiyin walked quickly to her car, unlocked it, and opened the door, only to have it slammed shut again.

Lin Xiyin didn't need to turn around to know that the hand pushing the car door belonged to Pei Muye.

She said, "Let go."

"Do you think I'm dead?" Pei Muye said through gritted teeth, "You're hanging out with someone like Chi Tianlin?"

"A scoundrel?" Lin Xiyin smiled and turned to look at him. "Pei Muye, we're getting a divorce. It's none of your business who I'm with."

"I won't care who you're with, but that person can't be Chi Tianlin."

"Why?"

"Do you know what kind of person he is? Do you know how ruthless he is in business? Do you know what his purpose is in getting close to him?"

"I don't know," Lin Xiyin said, "but I do know that it's very unethical for you to talk about people behind their backs like this."

Pei Muye's anger seemed to have been suddenly suppressed by brute force.

After realizing what had happened, his anger intensified.

"Lin Xiyin, don't get close to him." Pei Muye's voice was cold: "This is my advice to you."

"Thank you." Lin Xiyin asked him, "Can I leave now?"

Are you listening to me?

"I listened." Lin Xiyin nodded. "I also said thank you. Isn't that enough?"

"What happened to you?" Pei Muye looked down at her. "Are you trying to provoke me and force me to divorce you?"

"Teasing you?" Lin Xiyin wanted to laugh: "Think what you want."

"Lin Xiyin!"

Lin Xiyin took a step back: "I can hear you, you don't need to shout so loudly."

Pei Muye's chest heaved twice before he spoke, "Alright, so what's your decision?"

"I'm still thinking about it."

Have you seriously considered it?

How do you know I'm not serious?

"I don't think you're taking this seriously at all, having time to gamble with someone like Chi Tianlin. Besides, you're pregnant, and coming to a smoky, polluted place like this—have you thought about the baby?"

"A chaotic mess?" Lin Xiyin laughed for real this time: "Didn't you come too? What, you can come, but I can't?"

You're pregnant!

"So what?" Lin Xiyin looked at him. "If I weren't pregnant, you would have something to say about me coming to a place like this, right? Pei Muye, Chi Tianlin was right about something: I am not your possession. You have no right to tell me what to do."

Before Pei Muyi could say anything more, Lin Xiyin said, "I've made up my mind. I still choose to divorce. As for the child... if you don't want it, then have an abortion."

"Lin Xiyin!" Pei Muye's eyes reddened. "What do you mean I don't want it?"

Lin Xiyin didn't understand what he was so excited about.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Pei Muye loves Ming Qingwan so much and is reluctant to let her have children, so his own child might be his only child.

He naturally got nervous when she said no.

"Because I want a divorce, and you won't agree, it's like you're forcing me to abort this child..."

"Lin Xiyin, you can't be so...so unreasonable..."

"I'm unreasonable?" Lin Xiyin could hardly believe her ears. "You're saying I'm unreasonable?"

"Let's not get a divorce, okay..."

Pei Muye lowered his voice, even sounding somewhat weak.

Lin Xiyin thought she must have misheard.

She said, "I want a divorce. Pei Muyi, I don't really want this child with your bloodline. If you push me too far, I'm really capable of anything."

After saying that, she reached for the car door and said, "Move aside."

Pei Muye didn't stop her anymore.

Lin Xiyin got into the car, started the engine, and drove away. She saw Pei Muye's expression in the rearview mirror.

Pale as paper, utterly lost and dejected.

She must have seen it wrong.

How could Pei Muyi be so upset because of her words?

"It's a pity I didn't attend your wedding. Now that you're divorced, I can host a party."

Pei Muye turned around and saw Chi Tianlin.

Lu Zuofan quickly walked over and put his arm around Pei Muye's shoulder: "Let's not argue with a mad dog, let's go."

Pei Muye removed his hand and looked directly at Chi Tianlin; "Stay away from her."

"You think I'll just stay away because you tell me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Chi Tianlin scoffed. "Besides, you're just a divorced ex-husband, why are you so nosy?"

Pei Muye looked at him, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

"I just like it..."

Before Chi Tianlin could finish speaking, Pei Muye suddenly stepped forward and punched him.

Chi Tianlin reacted quickly, dodging to the side and throwing a punch back.

The two quickly started fighting.

Lu Zuofan had a feeling that "as expected, they ended up fighting in the end."

Unable to intervene, he could only yell, "Stop fighting! Stop!"

But nobody listened to him.

The two were evenly matched, locked in a fierce and evenly contested battle.

Lu Zuofan had a sudden inspiration and shouted, "Lin Xiyin!"

The two men paused for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Zuofan pulled Pei Muye back a few steps.
