Fu Heng drove Jiang Xinyue back to her apartment, and the two got out of the car at the same time.
"Mr. Fu, I've arrived. Thank you for today." Jiang Xinyue gave him a grateful look before turning to go upstairs.
Seeing this, Fu Heng quickly reached out and grabbed her, "Wait."
"Mr. Fu, what's wrong?" Jiang Xinyue turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Fu Heng pointed to the bruises and injuries on his face, "I was beaten up like this by Bo Jingcheng today, it hurts so much, aren't you going to put some medicine on me?"
"Um, this..." Jiang Xinyue smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I..."
“You don’t need to apologize to me, you weren’t the one who hit me,” Fu Heng quickly said.
Out of guilt, Jiang Xinyue nodded, "Alright then! Mr. Fu, please come upstairs with me, I'll help you apply some medicine."
After all, Fu Heng was beaten so badly by Bo Jingcheng because of her, and she felt a little guilty.
Fu Heng had been waiting for Jiang Xinyue to say these words, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Alright."
The two entered the apartment elevator together, and the atmosphere in the small space was inexplicably subtle.
Jiang Xinyue secretly glanced at the bruises on Fu Heng's face, feeling apologetic, mixed with a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
Fu Heng stood casually to the side, but his eyes kept falling on Jiang Xinyue, his gaze full of deep meaning.
Upon arriving at Jiang Xinyue's apartment, she quickly rummaged through the first-aid kit and gestured for Fu Heng to sit down on the sofa. "Mr. Fu, please bear with it; it might hurt a little."
As Jiang Xinyue spoke, she gently dipped her finger into the medicine and carefully applied it to Fu Heng's wound.
Her fingers gently touched Fu Heng's face. Fu Heng's body stiffened slightly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xinyue's lowered eyebrows, and his heart suddenly raced.
"Um... Mr. Fu, Bo Jingcheng was too impulsive today and caused you so much trouble. I'm really sorry."
Jiang Xinyue tried to break the heart-pounding silence and spoke.
Fu Heng shook his head slightly, his voice low and gentle: "Xin Yue, don't say that. Since I've decided to help you, I'm not afraid of these things. If Bo Jingcheng keeps bothering you, I will still take action."
Upon hearing Fu Heng mention Bo Jingcheng, Jiang Xinyue paused for a moment, then smiled awkwardly without saying anything, continuing to apply the medicine to him.
Fu Heng keenly noticed Jiang Xinyue's emotional change and felt a pang of jealousy, but he restrained himself and asked softly, "Xinyue, do you still have illusions about Bo Jingcheng?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue lowered her eyes and asked calmly, "Why does President Fu ask that?"
“Because…” Fu Heng looked a little anxious. He really wanted to tell her that he liked her.
But he dared not say it aloud, lest it cause trouble for Jiang Xinyue.
After all, he had tested her feelings a few times before, and she should have sensed his intentions, but she avoided talking about it or deliberately avoided him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I don't like to go back to an old friend."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Fu Heng's eyes.
He knew she would never give Bo Jingcheng another chance, and that they could never get back together.
"Alright, I've applied some medicine to reduce the swelling. It should go down by tomorrow," Jiang Xinyue said as she packed her medicine kit.
Fu Heng watched the busy Jiang Xinyue, his words stuck in his throat, needing to be spoken. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Xinyue, actually I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xinyue's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the room.
Jiang Xinyue glanced apologetically at Fu Heng, picked up her phone, and saw an unfamiliar phone number flashing on the screen.
She hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
"Hello……"
On the other end of the phone came the voice of Li Ming, Bo Jingcheng's good friend.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Bo is drunk and is at Tianxing Bar. Could you come over here?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue's face instantly turned cold. "Li Ming, Bo Jingcheng and I are already divorced. What does his drunkenness have to do with me?"
"Sister-in-law, you're really heartless. You and Brother Bo have been married for five years. How can you bear to watch him get drunk and unable to win?"
"Li Ming, I've made myself perfectly clear. Bo Jingcheng and I are over. You should ask Shen Siyao to take care of him!" Jiang Xinyue tried her best to make her tone sound resolute.
“Sister-in-law, Brother Bo keeps mentioning your name. It’s clear he still cares about you.” Li Ming’s words were clearly pleading.
"Sister-in-law, please come for the sake of our past relationship," Li Ming urged again when Jiang Xinyue remained silent.
“If anything happens, go find Shen Siyao. Also, don’t call me sister-in-law anymore, I’m not your sister-in-law. I will no longer have any contact with Bo Jingcheng. Please don’t call me again.”
After saying that, Jiang Xinyue hung up the phone angrily.
At this moment, at the Tianxing Bar.
Li Ming turned to look at the man sitting on the sofa and said cautiously, "Brother Bo, your wife hung up the phone."
Zhang Qi, standing to the side, said with a dissatisfied look, "This Jiang Xinyue, she fawned over our Brother Bo for five years, and now she's starting to act like a hands-off boss. What does she take our Brother Bo for?"
“That’s right, Brother Bo, I think you shouldn’t get back together with Jiang Xinyue. I think Sister Siyao is much better,” Qiu Lang couldn’t help but say.
Bo Jingcheng didn't say anything, but picked up the wine bottle on the table and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Seeing this, Li Ming quickly reached out to stop him: "Brother Bo, you can't drink anymore."
Bo Jingcheng forcefully shook off Li Ming's hand, his eyes bloodshot and somewhat manic. "Leave me alone!" he said, then continued to gulp down the wine.
The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the raging fire in his heart that had been ignited by Jiang Xinyue.
Li Ming and Qiu Lang exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness and worry.
They knew that Bo Jingcheng had truly fallen into Jiang Xinyue's hands this time.
The man who was once decisive and ruthless in the business world is now troubled by love and in such a sorry state.
Zhang Qi said with displeasure, "Brother Bo, if you're upset, we brothers will drink with you until we're satisfied. But if you're upset because Jiang Xinyue is getting a divorce from you, what about Sister Siyao?"
"Brother Bo, this can't go on forever."
Li Ming also tried to persuade her, saying, "Since Jiang Xinyue has made up her mind, you should look forward. Miss Shen Siyao is deeply in love with you..."
Bo Jingcheng slammed the bottle to the ground with a loud bang, sending shards of glass flying and startling Li Ming and Zhang Qi.
"Don't mention Siyao in front of me!" Bo Jingcheng roared. "In my heart, no one can compare to Jiang Xinyue!"
Li Ming and Zhang Qi dared not utter another word, and could only watch helplessly as Bo Jingcheng poured glass after glass of wine down his throat, as if only by getting completely drunk could he forget his pain.
