Chapter 382 Official Announcement of Breakup Before Marriage
Feng Jingnian wanted to say that the child in Su Xi's belly was Feng Jinchen's, but he was met with Su Xi's threatening, scarlet eyes.
That was the end of the conversation.
He had a premonition that if he told the truth, Su Xi would never forgive him, and they might even become enemies.
Just as he hesitated whether to speak, Feng Jinchen's slap landed squarely on Su Xi's face.
Snap!
Seeing Su Xi so closely, looking like a delicate flower being abused, Feng Jinchen was stunned for a moment, and felt a pang of pity in his heart.
But since he had already hit her, he glared down at Su Xi, but his words were directed at Feng Jingnian: "Of course I know she's pregnant, and I'm not going to hit her belly."
Shouldn't I beat up this woman who cheated on me?
Should we give her an award?
At the last sentence, Feng Jinchen burst out laughing. Wu Yaoyao also chuckled.
The two of them do look like a married couple when they smile.
Feng Jingnian rushed over and shielded Su Xi behind him, grabbing Feng Jinchen's collar with his fist already raised.
With a single glance from Wu Yaoyao, several servants rushed over and separated the two.
Feng Jinchen slowly straightened his collar, which had been crumpled by being grabbed. "You're protecting her so much, but only because you're protecting the child in her belly. I advise you not to be as naive as I am."
After the child is born, you'd better get a paternity test done first. You might end up raising someone else's child without even knowing it.
The moment Feng Jinchen said those words, a flash of inspiration struck him.
If the child isn't his, and it's not Feng Jingnian's, then whose child is most likely?
He almost got his hands on that name, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed in the end.
Although he accused Su Xi of being promiscuous, he wasn't sure about Su Xi's situation when she hadn't gotten pregnant in the previous three years, but he knew that Su Xi now would never have a child with just anyone.
So it must be Feng Jingnian. Who told that kid to be so good at licking? He even tolerated Su Xi's lips getting swollen from being kissed by someone. He really had to admire him.
Suddenly, another flash of inspiration struck.
How could Su Xi's personality suddenly become so obvious?
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Three years is too long to remember, which is normal.
Feng Jinchen didn't think much of it.
"Feng Jingnian, instead of wasting your time and energy hitting me, you should take a good look at Su Xi's mouth. If you still don't react after that, you can just wait to become the king of cuckolds."
Feng Jingnian's expression was cold and indifferent. "We still don't know who the cuckold king is."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward Wu Yaoyao's stomach.
Wu Yaoyao never expected that the flames of war would be drawn to her, and that it would be the most difficult and troublesome problem she had ever faced. She couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
I had originally intended to properly instigate Feng Jinchen to commit domestic violence against Su Xi. After all, it would be quite satisfying for a mistress to be able to slap the wife so hard after becoming the legal wife, and even drag the man she had stolen to slap his ex-wife.
But the secret of the child in her womb must not be compromised in the slightest.
Fine, then let Su Xi go for now. She's really getting off easy.
Wu Yaoyao acted as a peacemaker, calmly saying, "Feng Jingnian, isn't it a bit excessive to drag a weak woman like me into a matter between two grown men?"
Furthermore, I don't want to dwell on what happened today. It's getting late, and Sister Xi is pregnant; she should go home and rest.
As she spoke, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept towards Su Xi, her eyes filled with threat and a condescending truce, as if she were giving Su Xi extra face.
Su Xi pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
Feng Jingnian said, "Wu Yaoyao, you may have misunderstood. I came here to see you. We can leave, but you have to slap yourself twice, and then I'll be magnanimous and let it go."
Wu Yaoyao immediately looked troubled and aggrieved, biting her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth.
Feng Jinchen was filled with a strong desire to protect him after just one glance.
"Feng Jingnian, I think you've got some nerve. You barged into my villa and even tried to hit my woman. Do you think I, Feng Jinchen, am a dead man?"
Feng Jingnian sneered, "First, we didn't barge in; we came in openly and honestly. Second, your woman hit my woman first, so it's only right that we repay her in kind."
Feng Jinchen also sneered repeatedly, "I've said it before, Su Xi deserved to be beaten. Yao Yao beating her was doing justice for heaven."
You know best what despicable things your own woman has done.
You're the only one who likes to play dumb; don't drag us all into it.
In ancient times, a woman like that would have been ridden on a wooden donkey and drowned in a pig cage. Only you would consider her a treasure. If you consider her a treasure, it means you're foolish, stupid, and reckless. Don't drag us down with you, OK?
Before Feng Jingnian could say anything more, Su Xi tugged at his sleeve, her tone resolute, "Jingnian, forget it. I'm feeling a little unwell and want to go back to rest."
It's just a few slaps. I'd give her my life to keep the child's secret, let alone a few slaps.
So she didn't want to pursue the matter any further.
Of course, once the child is born and she has enough resources to fight back, she will naturally make Wu Yaoyao pay back every single one of the things she bullied her for.
Feng Jingnian looked at Su Xi, his brows furrowing slightly, "Xi Xi..."
"I've already said I don't want to pursue this matter any further. I'm going back to rest now. If you want to argue with them like a shrew, go ahead, I'm not going to play along."
After saying that, Su Xi turned and left without looking back.
Feng Jingnian was clearly unwilling, and he glanced coldly at Wu Yaoyao.
Wu Yaoyao felt as if her fate had been seized by Feng Jingnian's gaze, even though it was just a calm and cold look. Her whole body stiffened.
He immediately regretted provoking Su Xi.
Even if Su Xi had Feng Jue behind her, or even if she only had Feng Jingnian behind her, she would still suffer a loss. Although she was in the upper hand for the time being, she would pay the price sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Wu Yaoyao's hands trembled and tightened. She had to do everything she could to get close to Feng Jue, otherwise Feng Jinchen simply couldn't give her enough security.
Just as Wu Yaoyao broke out in a cold sweat, Feng Jingnian casually shifted his gaze, turned and left to chase after Su Xi.
Wu Yaoyao was envious again.
"Yaoyao, you've been wronged today." Feng Jinchen was still comforting Wu Yaoyao, clearly not taking Feng Jingnian's earlier hint that the child in Wu Yaoyao's belly might not be his to heart.
Keep in mind that at that time he was the high-ranking and admired CEO of the Feng Group, while Wu Yaoyao was just a lowly secretary trained by a lower class. It was impossible for her to cheat on him.
He still has that much confidence.
Wu Yaoyao could see that Feng Jinchen had no doubts about this, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She shook her head with a smile and said in a coquettish voice, "As long as you are on my side, I will not feel wronged at all."
"Silly girl, who else would I side with if not you?" Feng Jinchen pinched Wu Yaoyao's small nose. "After all this commotion, you must be tired. Go back and rest."
"Okay." Wu Yaoyao nestled softly into Feng Jinchen's arms.
With the soft, fragrant woman in his arms, Feng Jinchen's eyes instantly darkened.
Inside a Rolls-Royce with a starlight headliner.
Feng Jingnian remained silent. The night light and shadows outside the car window flickered on his sharply defined, fair face.
There is a sense of destiny that transcends time and death.
Su Xi unconsciously clenched her fingers.
For some reason, she felt a little guilty. Just as she was about to say something, Feng Jingnian's phone suddenly rang.
When Feng Jingnian saw the caller ID, he was startled. He didn't know who was calling.
In the past, he would always put his phone on speakerphone in front of Su Xi, but now, instead of doing so, he moved to the side, deliberately blocking Su Xi's view.
But that wasn't all. He quickly took out his Bluetooth earphones, put them on his ears, and then answered the call.
Su Xi's face instantly tensed up; she knew her expression must be quite unpleasant.
Although she felt very uncomfortable, she didn't have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls. She consciously moved to the other side, increasing the distance between herself and Feng Jingnian.
She didn't know what they talked about on the phone, but she could clearly feel the air pressure in the carriage suddenly become a bit cold.
Su Xi wrapped her coat tighter and stared silently out the window.
But his ears perked up uncontrollably.
Because she was wearing Bluetooth headphones, she couldn't hear who was on the other end or what they were saying, but she could hear Feng Jingnian's words clearly.
Unfortunately, all they said were things like "I understand" and "I know," without revealing any real substance.
Judging from Feng Jingnian's tone, the person on the other end must be a very, very important person.
Su Xi felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of sadness in her heart.
Only a few minutes had passed, but Su Xi felt it was an eternity. Finally, Feng Jingnian hung up the phone.
Su Xi unconsciously gripped the car door, remaining motionless and silent. The silence in the car was unnatural.
Finally, Feng Jingnian broke the silence. He moved his lips, as if he had something difficult to say, "Xixi, I..."
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Su Xi knew she had acted somewhat wrongly today, but since the other party had offered a way out, she took the initiative to speak up.
"Jingnian, I'm sorry about what happened today. I know you meant well, but I... I don't like the way you handle things. I'm still very grateful to you."
“…That’s good.” Feng Jingnian paused, then spoke with a sense of relief and liberation, “This is probably the last thing I can do for you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xi abruptly looked up at Feng Jingnian, "What do you mean by this? You can say whatever you want to say. Is it because..."
Before Su Xi could finish speaking, Feng Jingnian spoke in a deep voice,
Let's break up.
What?
Su Xi was stunned.
Although she had long planned to part ways amicably with Feng Jingnian, she always thought that she would be the one to say it.
Unexpectedly, it was Feng Jingnian who suddenly brought up this relationship.
The man who was standing up for her one second now broke up with her the next, which made Su Xi feel particularly uncomfortable and uneasy.
I feel like this shouldn't be happening.
It was completely different from what she had imagined.
However, they had long been estranged and were not suitable to continue their relationship; it was only a matter of time before it ended.
Therefore, Su Xi forced herself to be indifferent and said calmly,
"OK.
Do I need to move out tonight?
"……need."
What?
Su Xi's face turned completely ugly, and her whole demeanor turned icy. She looked coldly at Feng Jingnian.
Feng Jingnian thought that if he suddenly proposed breaking up, Su Xi would try to win him back, and at least she would show some reluctance, even the slightest bit. But she didn't care at all, as if she had been waiting for this day.
So when Su Xi jokingly asked if he was moving out tonight, he gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Actually, he originally wanted Su Xi to move out tonight as well, but he could have said it more tactfully.
Su Xi provoked him.
Meeting Su Xi's cold gaze, Feng Jingnian could only manage a wry smile, his voice lacking its usual warmth.
"I will officially announce that we are not married. I will officially announce our breakup. You will be free from now on."
Su Xi dug her nails into her flesh, saying nothing, just staring intently at the man who had seduced and then abandoned her.
She thought Feng Jingnian would be different, but she was wrong.
She shouldn't have trusted men anymore, and she shouldn't have placed her happiness and security in men.
No matter how honest and reliable this man may seem.
She brought this embarrassing and awkward situation upon herself.
Su Xi took a deep breath. She was an adult; she should take responsibility for her own mistakes.
Once is never enough; she has already made the same mistake time and time again. She will not fall for any man again, such as Feng Jue.
Su Xi withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Okay, I'll move out tonight. Let me know when you make the official announcement, and I'll repost it. That way, people won't think you abandoned me, which would be bad for your reputation."
Despite trying to control her emotions, she could still hear the sarcasm in her tone when she said the last sentence.
Feng Jingnian didn't mind and said casually, "You have a lot of things, you can't finish moving them all tonight. You can pack them up and come back to pick them up tomorrow or when you have time."
Su Xi chuckled, shook her head, and said firmly, "I've always been a solitary person, and I have no attachment to material possessions, especially to a certain person."
One suitcase is enough for my essentials; the rest, you can either burn or throw away, it's up to you. Don't tell me anything more.
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, a slight ripple finally appeared on Feng Jingnian's usually expressionless face.
He frowned at Su Xi, "Xi Xi, do you really want to be so distant with me?"
Su Xi looked at him coldly, "From now on, you should just call me Miss Su."
Feng Jingnian's eyes darkened, and he slowly exhaled, saying calmly, "Although we've broken up and are living separately, there are still company matters..."
Su Xi interrupted him, "I know that work matters are complicated, and I am not an irresponsible person. I will not just walk away."
The main reason is that I have a decent salary, which makes me much more reliable than a man.
All business arrangements are business matters, and I would prefer that you communicate with me through company channels.
From this moment on, I don't want to hear another word from you.
Feng Jingnian stopped talking and turned to look out the window.
