"Who wants your heart?"
Cao Wei snorted coldly. It was a shame that she had previously had a good impression of this man and thought he was quite nice.
Looking back now, I realize I was too naive.
Cao Wei straightened up and warned He Lingchuan, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to get close to my sister."
After saying that, Cao Wei turned and left.
Gu Chengze couldn't stand it and wanted to chase after them to reason with them: 'What kind of people are these? They don't listen to anyone's explanation and just start hitting people without warning!'
Just as he was about to go over, He Lingchuan grabbed his wrist: "Don't go. This time it was really my oversight. I didn't expect someone to take pictures of me secretly."
As he spoke the last three words, He Lingchuan's gaze fell on Zhou Mingyan.
Noticing that he was looking at him, Zhou Mingyan looked up and questioned him, "Why are you looking at me? You're not trying to pin this on me, are you?"
Zhou Mingyan stood tall and proud, showing no fear whatsoever.
Shen Yanxi raised her head and reprimanded He Lingchuan on behalf of Zhou Mingyan: "He Lingchuan, you should take responsibility for your own mistakes. Don't always think about letting Mingyan take the blame for you."
Shen Yanxi was furious; she hadn't yet recovered from the anger over He Lingchuan's decision to take responsibility for Cao Xue.
She didn't want to believe the video at first, but after hearing He Lingchuan's words, she had no choice but to believe it.
Shen Yanxi looked He Lingchuan up and down, her face full of doubt as she questioned him, "He Lingchuan, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Cao Xue? Only if you tell the truth can I help you."
The public opinion outside was getting more and more intense. Shen Yanxi had just received a message from the housekeeper that someone had come to the gate of their villa demanding an explanation from He Lingchuan.
Although Shen Yanxi repeatedly emphasized that this matter had nothing to do with them, they still thought they were righteous and wanted to help them get justice.
This time, He Lingchuan was completely caught in the crossfire of public opinion.
Shen Yanxi looked at He Lingchuan with a serious expression. She stepped forward and looked directly into He Lingchuan's eyes: "You'd better tell me the truth."
"To be honest, we are just colleagues."
He Lingchuan repeated the same statement, his tone icy, as if the online opinions had no effect on him whatsoever.
His mind was filled with thoughts of finding a suitable source of love.
He was very calm, and his gaze towards Shen Yanxi was devoid of any warmth.
His indifference and ruthlessness hurt Shen Yanxi once again.
Shen Yanxi felt wronged. She bit her lower lip and looked displeased: "He Lingchuan, I'm trying to help you. What kind of attitude is this?"
Enraged, Shen Yanxi wished she could lock He Lingchuan up right now to vent her anger.
She frowned as she looked at He Lingchuan, each word like a tinderbox, fueling Zhou Mingyan's jealousy.
"I don't need your help."
He Lingchuan walked towards Cao Wei. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "If you really want to help me, hand the child over to me. That way, I won't have to go to court with you."
Are you still thinking about the lawsuit?
Shen Yanxi looked at him in disbelief. She grabbed He Lingchuan's hand, forcing him to give her an explanation: "What do you mean by this? Are you going to completely separate from me?"
When has Shen Yanxi ever suffered such injustice? Her relationship with He Lingchuan has always been one where the woman is stronger and the man is weaker.
In her eyes, He Lingchuan should be completely obedient to her and have no complaints whatsoever.
She stared wide-eyed, demanding an explanation from He Lingchuan.
Annoyed by her antics, He Lingchuan shook off her hand: "This is a matter of life and death, can you stop being so childish?"
Cao Xue is her best friend's sister, isn't she worried at all?
He Lingchuan narrowed his eyes, his expression cold: "How can you be so cold-blooded?"
Shen Yanxi pointed at herself, looking at him somewhat incoherently: "You're saying I'm cold-blooded?"
Her face turned pale with anger, and she raised her hand to slap He Lingchuan again: "If I were cold-blooded, do you think you would still be standing here unharmed arguing with me?"
He Lingchuan remained calm despite receiving two slaps.
He waited a while, and seeing that Shen Yanxi didn't make any move, he looked up and asked her, "Do you still want to fight? If not, don't delay my rescue."
After saying this, He Lingchuan was about to leave when Shen Yanxi stopped him: "If you dare to go, you'll never see your child again in this lifetime."
Shen Yanxi had no other choice. She knew perfectly well that she couldn't use the child to threaten He Lingchuan.
This will only push them further apart, but does she have any other options?
He Lingchuan's mind is entirely focused on Cao Xue right now, so this is the only thing she can do.
Hearing Shen Yanxi's threat, He Lingchuan paused in his steps.
A few seconds later, he slowly said, "I will get my child back in my own way."
After saying that, he rushed to the operating room without hesitation.
Shen Yanxi watched his departing figure, her face pale, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"Mingyan, did you hear what he said?"
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Mingyan stirred things up in Shen Yanxi's ear: "Xixi, I heard it. He would rather not have the child than go to Cao Xue's side."
These words were like a fire, completely igniting Shen Yanxi's anger.
"He's really something, he'd even give up his child for a woman."
Shen Yanxi looked up and saw He Lingchuan pacing back and forth outside the operating room.
Her eyes were filled with hatred: "He wasn't this worried when Nan Chen and Bei Chen were sick."
Zhou Mingyan continued to sow discord between the two of them, saying sarcastically, "Xixi, don't be angry. What if you get sick from being angry? If you get sick, I'll be the only one who cares about you. He Lingchuan won't even look at you again. Why bother?"
As Zhou Mingyan spoke, he gently stroked Shen Yanxi's chest, his tone tender as he softly comforted her: "Actually, this is for the best. At least you've seen a man's true colors."
Zhou Mingyan blocked Shen Yanxi's view, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him: "You should have left this kind of man a long time ago."
Shen Yanxi bit her lower lip, leaning forward to look at He Lingchuan, but worried that Zhou Mingyan would be angry.
Zhou Mingyan completely blocked He Lingchuan from view, so Shen Yanxi couldn't see what he was doing at all.
It wasn't until she heard the doctor's voice that Shen Yanxi realized Cao Xue was out of danger.
She pushed Zhou Mingyan away and looked towards the operating room.
He Lingchuan stood anxiously next to the doctor, looking more like Cao Xue's family member.
After the three of them talked, He Lingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders slumped.
Shen Yanxi's expression was solemn, her eyes following He Lingchuan the whole time, and she didn't even hear Zhou Mingyan calling her.
"Xixi, Xixi, are you listening to me? We've changed back; the children are waiting at home."
Zhou Mingyan tried to pull Shen Yanxi away by her hand, but Shen Yanxi pushed him away. For the first time, she refused Zhou Mingyan, her voice urgent: "I'm not going back."
