Chapter 94: Car Accident, He Protected Wen Jinye
Chapter 94: Car Accident, He Protected Wen Jinye
He Jiayu bit her lip on the other end of the line. "A-Jing, I heard you're also in Linshui. I happen to have a magazine photoshoot here. Shall we go together after it's over?"
Fu Yanjing closed the laptop. "I'm already gone."
"What?" He Jiayu reacted strongly, her tone even carrying a hint of impatience. "A-Jing, why didn't you call me?"
Fu Yanjing looked at the figure sitting upright beside him like a primary school student in class. The posture was so upright that it could be described as stiff, as if he was afraid that any sound he made would be picked up by the phone.
She tilted her head to look out the window, wishing she could close her ears completely.
Fu Yanjing chuckled, "What? You don't know the way back?"
The tone, tinged with laughter, instantly lost its distance and instead became somewhat indulgent.
He Jiayu was flattered. "I just wanted to keep you company... I get really bored by myself, so I wanted to chat with you."
Fu Yanjing found the affected tone irritating, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Jin also frowning and pursing her lips as if she was enduring something.
It seems that the limit of tolerance has been reached.
He objectively advised He Jiayu, "Quickly replace your mute assistants."
Then I hung up on that pointless phone call.
Almost the instant she hung up the phone, Wen Jin couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her lips with her hands and coughed a few times in a very suppressed and quiet manner.
She had just inhaled smoke into her trachea, and her throat was still a little sore. Every time she coughed, it felt like her entire trachea was being pulled apart, causing pain.
Fu Yanjing frowned, recalling how hard she had been trying to hold back. "Did I gag you while I was on the phone?"
Wen Jin's voice was a little hoarse, but she answered truthfully, "I just didn't want to disturb you and Miss He's love talk."
Fu Yanjing's voice turned several degrees colder, "Which ear of yours heard me talking about love with her?"
That's true... left ear and right ear.
I didn't hear it with either ear.
After all, Fu Yanjing didn't open it to the public.
Wen Jin didn't hear anything either, but she felt that his attitude was too distant and cold-hearted, which was really unlike the rumors that he was pursuing He Jiayu.
She didn't want to dwell on Fu Yanjing's relationship with He Jiayu and disturb her peace of mind.
Wen Jin also pinched her uncomfortable throat with her fingers, but did not reply.
Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out in front of me.
Fu Yanjing unscrewed the bottle of mineral water he took from the car refrigerator and handed it to her, still saying something unpleasant, "Your throat isn't working well, but your ears are still very sharp. You can hear things you didn't say."
His choice to argue with himself at this time is clearly an unfair victory.
But Wen Jin was originally a weak debater, so she didn't make a fuss and took the bottle of cold water.
Just unscrewed—
"squeak--"
"stuffy--"
A sharp screech of brakes and a rapid honking of horns sounded simultaneously.
The large truck next to them suddenly lost control and veered in this direction.
The driver, speaking in C programming language, frantically tried to dodge.
But the incident happened suddenly, and no matter how high the vehicle's safety protection level was, it was no match for the large truck.
The vehicle swayed violently and crashed into the highway guardrail.
"Bang!!!"
In an instant, the world spun around.
The mineral water spilled out instantly, icy cold.
At the critical moment, a dark figure carrying the scent of sandalwood pressed down on Wen Jinye.
His palms tightly covered Wen Jinye's ears, and Wen Jinye was completely encircled in Fu Yanjing's arms.
"don't want--"
*
The sounds of ambulances, medical staff working frantically, and various machines seemed to come from a great distance.
Fu Yanjing had a dream.
I dreamt that it was the day he broke up with Wen Jin.
He had just returned to the Fu family manor during the day, and the family, who were good at maintaining a superficial peace, had a fierce argument that day.
The servants all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
Photos of Wen Jin and him traveling together at various occasions are scattered all over the ground.
Fu Xianzong's voice was extremely authoritative, 'This woman has been by your side long enough, Fu Yanjing. I've taught you to cut ties decisively. Don't let her harbor unrealistic fantasies, and you, don't misjudge the importance of priorities.'
Fu Yanjing's icy aura was no less imposing than his father's; the two shared a similar commanding presence. "Didn't I tell you to mind your own business?"
"I'm afraid you might want to marry the wrong woman."
He curled his lips into a smile. "I know exactly what I should do. The marriage partner hasn't been decided yet, and I'm not at the point of inheriting the family business. There's no need for me to become celibate from now on, is there?"
He looked at the photos scattered on the ground. Wen Jinye's smile was faint, and she nestled beside him with such a devout expression.
An indescribable sense of stagnation crept into my heart.
He thought he was fed up with this life of being constantly monitored and reminded.
Fu Yanjing's expression was as cold as an iceberg that never melts. "I'll say it again, stop interfering in my life."
The atmosphere between the father and son was tense and on the verge of conflict.
Fu Yanjing's mother, Qin Zhiyi, could only linger in the middle.
“Ah Jing is very sensible in everything he does. Besides, you know how cold-hearted he is. He hasn’t been very affectionate with us in over twenty years, let alone a woman who has been with him for three years?”
"We'll just give them some money and that'll be enough."
'Get rid of her?' He glanced at her coldly, his words carrying a protective tone he himself didn't realize. 'Don't go looking for her.'
"How to break things off with her is none of your business."
That day, he left the Fu family manor in anger.
The anger burning deep within him made him unable to distinguish whether he couldn't stand others interfering in his life, or simply couldn't bear to hear it—
Anyone can make Wen Jin leave.
Three years.
Perhaps that's long enough.
He initially kept Wen Jin by his side, attracted by her gentle and timid eyes.
It's rare for me to get so excited over the years.
On the way back, Fu Yanjing imagined many scenarios of what it would be like to part ways with Wen Jinye.
He thought that no amount of financial compensation could ever truly repay her for the tears in her eyes.
But he never expected that Wen Jin would be the first to dump him.
The word "breakup" was like a sledgehammer, leaving Fu Yanjing's head spinning and completely unprepared.
My emotions fluctuated and changed several times.
The heavy and unfamiliar feeling made Fu Yanjing speak without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jin just went along with what he said and admitted it.
"I am not worthy of the Fu family, so let's end this here."
The night was damp. She was the one who initiated the breakup, but the sadness in her eyes was like the endless rain outside the window.
He clearly saw her reluctance and inner turmoil.
I saw her brokenness.
But I was provoked by her words.
He never said a word to try and persuade him to stay.
So composed, as if it were none of his business.
But that night, he sat on the first floor all night.
The scent of gardenias in the Xishan Mansion grew fainter and fainter, and then he realized:
This place is so empty.
Actually, they've been reluctant to part with it for a long time.
But everything happened so smoothly and so easily that he never realized it.

A note from the author:
I'll read all your comments, my wives. The plot won't be padded out, but the male lead's transformation in thought didn't happen overnight; otherwise, this kind of story would lose its charm. From this, we can see that the male lead treated the female lead differently when he was in Hong Kong. He never treated her as a plaything; it's just that their living environments and personalities were worlds apart, and the male lead was too proud.
I'm still begging my favorite wives to give me a five-star review to urge me to update!
I will be even more motivated!!!
