Li Yunyan rushed over to check Xie Fengsheng's face. He had just recovered from a serious illness, and Gu Yingzhi was a barbarian; he probably couldn't withstand more than a few punches from him.
She had just cupped Xie Fengsheng's face in her hands when Gu Yingzhi pulled her back.
A nameless fire was burning fiercely in Gu Yingzhi's heart. He couldn't believe that his friend was kissing his woman!
His eyes and voice were like ice, and he roared, "Li Yunyan! What is your relationship with him?"
Li Yunyan forcefully shook off his hand, her tone both angry and cold, "What's it to you? You're a madman!"
"Let me go!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Enraged by her words, Gu Yingzhi instantly lost his temper. He forcefully pulled her back, his large hand caressing her slender waist, and said in a chilling tone, "Li Yunyan! Do you want to think back to four years ago? From that night on, you have been my woman!"
Li Yunyan paused, unsure whether she should continue acting.
She truly didn't want to be entangled with him anymore. From the moment she learned of his wedding, she never wanted to be with him again.
Xie Fengsheng was completely stunned by Gu Yingzhi's words!
His Yanyan was actually the woman Gu Yingzhi had been searching for for four years!
It turns out that the two of them had been troubled by love for the past few years, and the woman they had been searching for was the same one!
What a coincidence!
How absurd!
He suddenly remembered something, turned his head sharply to look at the three little heads peeking at him from the backyard, his eyes widening.
His heart suddenly pounded with panic.
His mother had previously disagreed with their marriage, and he was anxious but not flustered at all, because he knew that Yanyan had promised him and would definitely wait for him.
But now...
Looking at Gu Yingzhi's face, which had descended into madness, and her bloodshot eyes, he felt uncertain.
King Qingyang has always been ruthless in achieving his goals, regardless of the consequences.
He strode over and grabbed Gu Yingzhi's out-of-control hand. "Your Highness, let go of her. You'll hurt her if you keep doing this!"
When Gu Yingzhi saw Xie Fengsheng's face, her anger flared up again, and she shouted, "Xie Fengsheng! How could you do this to me?!"
Xie Fengsheng dodged the blow by tilting his head. "Your Highness, I knew nothing about this! I didn't know Yanyan was you..."
"I won't allow you to call her that!"
He went even crazier, and began to relentlessly unleash a barrage of fierce punches at Xie Fengsheng.
"Gu Yingzhi, stop going crazy!"
Li Yunyan has decided to stop pretending!
She shoved him aside, stood in front of Xie Fengsheng, and stared at him as she said, word by word, "Gu Yingzhi, from the moment you left me in the inn four years ago, there has been no possibility between us!"
Gu Yingzhi indeed stopped targeting Xie Fengsheng. His reddened eyes stared at Li Yunyan. "Yanyan, you recognize me? If you recognize me, why are you pretending not to know me?"
"Because we're not on the same path! Gu Yingzhi, wasn't that what you were thinking when you abandoned me? Why are you bothering me now?!"
"I......"
Gu Yingzhi was speechless for a moment. He had indeed left her at the inn with that in mind.
But not long after, he went back to find her!
On the eve of his wedding, he abandoned the complicated wedding arrangements and went back to Taoyuan County alone to find her, but the innkeeper said that she had been gone for several days.
He searched tirelessly in the surrounding area, asking around with her portrait in hand. He even went back to that small village, tied up the fat man, and tortured him, but he still couldn't get any news about her.
In the end, it was only after his mother sent someone that he was brought back.
He felt a little flustered, and unconsciously softened his tone, "Yanyan, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have left you! Can you give me another chance?"
"impossible!"
Li Yunyan brushed his hand away, "Why would I want a man who has already abandoned me once?"
Her heartless and cold words pierced Gu Yingzhi's heart, and for the first time, he felt such regret for what he had done.
He tried to grab her wrist again, pleading, "Yanyan, give me another chance, I won't abandon you again!"
Li Yunyan took a few steps back. "No need! Your Highness, please return!"
"Are you trying to get rid of me again?"
This was the first time in Gu Yingzhi's life that he had to beg someone so humbly, only to be treated like trash by her. An inexplicable anger rose within him once more.
He pointed at Xie Fengsheng and roared, "Why can he be all lovey-dovey with you here, while every time I come here, you try every means to drive me away!"
"Li Yunyan! You're so unfair!"
Ignoring his anger, Li Yunyan calmly explained, "Your Highness, there's no such thing as fairness in matters of the heart. Fengsheng is the person I've chosen, while you are merely a passerby in my life! Since it's over, let's forget about it!"
"A passerby?"
He was so angry that he grabbed her wrist again, and started to say things he shouldn't have.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with a tempestuous storm. "Li Yunyan! Is this how you treat every person who passes through your life? Have you forgotten that night four years ago, when you were beneath me..."
"Smack!!"
A crisp slap landed on Gu Yingzhi's face.
Li Yunyan couldn't believe that a prince would say such things in front of others!
After slapping him, she tearfully shouted, "Gu Yingzhi, you're a bastard!! I hate you!!"
