The quiet café was filled with the melodious strains of a piano. The soothing music entered the mind through the eardrums, gradually relaxing the spirit and making one unconsciously immerse oneself in the beautiful music.
Unfortunately, no one present was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful music; the atmosphere was tense and ready to erupt at any moment.
The café had been booked out, and everyone else had been asked to leave, leaving only the four main characters sitting there quietly.
Qin Feifei crossed her arms, adopting a perfect defensive and offensive stance, her eyes sharp as knives, her mind racing.
Yan Rui sat next to him, her face full of indifference, harboring a lazy attitude of not caring about anything, quietly waiting for a big show to unfold.
Tears welled in Cheng Momo's eyes as she looked at Yan Rui with accusation and resentment, appearing every inch the heartbroken lover who had been betrayed. He never imagined that just moments after he told Yan Rui about his pregnancy, hoping to gain sympathy, Yan Rui would call and tell Qin Feifei and the other woman, leading to this predicament.
The situation is out of control, and Cheng Momo herself doesn't know where to go or what awaits her.
Of the four, Fang Yuanyi had the worst complexion. His handsome face was dark and gloomy, and Chen Wanru had painted it with a layer of black charcoal. His eyes were so dark that you couldn't see the bottom, which made people feel a chill down their spine.
"Well, I believe everyone already knows the whole story. Now is not the time to be angry. You guys talk, I'll go first." Yan Rui wasn't ungrateful; as an outsider, he had no right or need to get involved in this family feud. After saying this, he prepared to leave.
“Wait, Yan Ruini is a witness, how can she just walk away? Anyway, it's not me who's losing face, sit down.” Qin Feifei smiled and pulled Yan Ruini back as she turned to leave.
Yan Rui looked at Qin Feifei with a helpless expression. What exactly did this young lady want? He had only told her about the situation out of humanitarian spirit, not wanting her to suffer losses or be deceived, but she insisted on making such a big fuss, dragging everyone involved, and even dragging her, an outsider, into it.
"Feifei, this strange woman, I don't even know her. How could she be pregnant with my child? This must be someone framing me and trying to drive a wedge between us." Fang Yuanyi glared fiercely at Yan Rui, already considering her an irreconcilable enemy and rival in love.
Qin Feifei's charm is truly immense. Yan Rui was completely mesmerized just now, and then he turned around and detonated Cheng Momo's time bomb. He wouldn't believe it if someone said he didn't like Qin Feifei.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuanyi is already engaged to Qin Feifei, who is his fiancée. Yan Rui shouldn't even think about interfering, let alone getting a taste of the sweetness.
"Tell me, did you conspire with Yan Rui to frame me? If you dare to tell a single lie, I will never let you go." Fang Yuanyi then glared fiercely at Cheng Momo, his former tenderness and affection gone, replaced by disgust and loathing.
He had many lovers, but he strictly controlled each one, never allowing them to have any ulterior motives, let alone get pregnant. Although he had some feelings for Cheng Momo, she went against his wishes and got pregnant without his consent, which crossed his bottom line.
"I..." Under Fang Yuanyi's scorching gaze, Cheng Momo felt his throat was terribly dry. He swallowed hard, quite frightened.
Ultimately, she was just a delicate flower that had weathered many storms. Now, being treated like this, she felt wronged, sad, and, more than anything, helpless.
"Yan Rui..." Fang Yuanyi could no longer rely on the other party and wished he could devour him alive on the spot. The only person he could rely on was Yan Rui.
It was precisely because Yan Rui's appearance was so deceptive, making him seem like a good-natured gentleman, that Cheng Momo subconsciously forgot the cruel things Yan Rui had just done.
"Yan Rui, you must be jealous of my good relationship with Fei Fei and deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us. I know you're jealous of me, but how could you do such a despicable thing? It's shameful. Did you bring this woman here? Maybe the child in her belly is yours too. How could you frame me?" Fang Yuanyi immediately seized the opportunity and launched into a tirade against Yan Rui, his tone full of resentment.
"Mr. Fang, he only called my name. Why are you reacting so strongly and so eager to shift the blame to me? If you're innocent, you have nothing to fear. At worst, we can go to the hospital together for testing and let Miss Qin see whose child it is. Then the truth will come out."
Yan Rui was so angry he almost laughed. How could this person be so shameless? He was just an innocent passerby, okay? Shifting the blame like this was unacceptable.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuanyi instinctively felt guilty. He knew very well that under his control, Cheng Momo could not have contact with other men, and the child could only be his.
"Fang Yuanyi, how could you say that to me? I've been with you for so many years, wholeheartedly devoted, and have never had any other thoughts. Do you really think I'm just a promiscuous woman? You don't even acknowledge your own child, are you even a man?"
Cheng Momo was also shocked by Fang Yuanyi's words. A fierce anger ignited in her eyes, and she was like an enraged lioness. She raised her hand and slapped Fang Yuanyi across the face, speaking angrily.
"You dare hit me?" Fang Yuanyi covered his throbbing cheek, his tone incredulous. Although Cheng Momo wasn't very strong, the slap had deeply etched a mark on his pride, something his arrogant and domineering nature couldn't tolerate.
"Well, Cheng Momo, you've gotten bolder in just a few days! Not only did you run away on your own, but you even dared to hit me. You probably don't know what I'm capable of! I'll make sure your whole family never has a moment's peace."
Blinded by rage, Fang Yuanyi stopped pretending and revealed his true nature. He abruptly stood up, looked down at Cheng Momo with undisguised malice, and slapped her hard across the face.
The two bystanders were also stunned, never expecting things to develop in such a bizarre way.
Qin Feifei's mouth also gaped open slightly, clearly quite surprised. He only wanted to teach Fang Yuanyi a lesson, to make him get rid of Cheng Momo and stop fooling around outside.
Looking at Fang Yuanyi's sinister expression, like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey, Qin Feifei fell into a deep silence. She wanted a marriage partner of equal standing, not to bring a venomous snake into her home.
Yan Rui frowned upon seeing this. He had always upheld gentlemanly conduct and, having been a victim of domestic violence since childhood, he would never do something like hitting a woman. He didn't want to become a man like Yan Dabiao, impotent and violent, who could only find a sense of accomplishment through women and children.
In his mind, hitting women was the most unacceptable behavior. He had assumed that Fang Yuanyi, no matter what, came from a prominent family and should at least have some semblance of civility, but he was wrong…
