Xiao Xin's eyes were gloomy, like the stormy weather before a tempest, with dark clouds gathering.
Fu Yan was stunned when he saw Xiao Xin like this for the first time.
Xiao Xin looked at his flushed face and felt a slight pang of pain in her heart.
The first time he slapped someone in the face, he couldn't control his strength.
Xiao Xin opened her mouth, her eyes showing some emotion, but after thinking for a moment, she shut up and swallowed her apology.
Fu Yan chuckled awkwardly, wiped away his tears, said nothing, and walked past Xiao Xin toward the door.
Xiao Xin loosened his clenched fist, looked at his red palm, and the pain in his fingertips instantly spread to the bottom of his heart.
＊
The two remained silent on the way to the villa.
Fu Yan sat quietly in the back seat of the car, arms crossed, looking out the window.
The originally sunny weather suddenly turned into a cloudless sky.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the wind howled outside the car, a clear prelude to an impending storm.
The radio host was reporting the terrible weather; her gentle voice, accompanied by the patter of raindrops hitting the car window, inexplicably calmed the listener.
Xiao Xin listened to the sound of rain and felt much calmer.
While waiting at the traffic light, he glanced at the back seat in the rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of Fu Yan's swollen face.
Fu Yan had maintained this posture for ten minutes, as if deliberately showing his face to him.
Xiao Xin wanted to ask him if it hurt, but after thinking about it, she realized it was a pointless question and kept quiet.
How could it not hurt when your face is swollen from being slapped?
Xiao Xin kept glancing back, her eyes full of worry, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
After going back and forth like this dozens of times, Fu Yan seemed to sense Xiao Xin's frequent glances back.
Looking at the crowds running in the rain outside the car window, he suddenly asked, "Brother, does your hand hurt?"
As soon as she said that, Xiao Xin's tears flowed uncontrollably like beads from a broken string.
The psychological defenses that had been built up collapsed instantly because of Fu Yan's words.
He quickly wiped away his tears with a tissue, cursing himself inwardly for being so pathetic.
Tears streamed down Xiao Xin's face, unstoppable. She choked out a curse, "Idiot..."
After scolding her, she apologized softly, "I'm sorry..."
Fu Yan frowned, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
He asked, crying, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
Xiao Xin sniffed and said, "No."
The Fu family is no match for the Jiang family, and he doesn't want Jiang Yuqing to cause any more trouble for the Fu family.
Fu Yan: "Then why did you have to break up with me, brother?"
Both of them had red eyes from crying. Xiao Xin counted the seconds on the traffic light, thought for a moment, and said, "Fu Yan, you're not a child anymore. Not everything has a reason."
Fu Yan looked at his lowered eyes quietly in the rearview mirror.
As soon as the red light turned on, Xiao Xin started the car and continued, "Something's happened to the Fu family. Go back to the Fu family and manage the Fu Corporation properly. Don't act like a child anymore..."
"Don't you love me anymore, brother?" Fu Yan interrupted him.
Xiao Xin froze, her mind going blank for a moment.
Fu Yan smiled knowingly, as if he understood something.
He continued, "If you still love me, I won't agree to break up."
Xiao Xin sighed helplessly, "Fu Yan..."
"Even if you hate me, I still won't agree to break up." Fu Yan's tone was resolute.
Xiao Xin bit her lip, her eyes red as she looked at him in the rearview mirror: "If you continue to be so willful, then let's stop contacting each other."
"Brother!" Fu Yan pleaded, crying, "Please don't do this..."
He propped his elbows on his knees, buried his head in his hands, and cried until his head ached. He murmured softly, "My brother clearly loves me, why did he break up with me? I don't believe my brother would break up with me..."
Xiao Xin was also feeling bad. He looked away, gritted his teeth, and swallowed his tears, keeping his grievances to himself.
He didn't speak to Fu Yan again and drove the car directly into the residential area.
Five minutes later, as soon as Xiao Xin parked his car in front of the villa, a male servant came to greet him.
Before getting out of the car, Xiao Xin turned back to Fu Yan in the back seat and said, "We've arrived, get out."
Fu Yan got out of the car, and her red and swollen eyes hurt terribly when the cold wind blew on them.
He squinted and glanced at the luxurious and spacious villa in front of him, and his guess was now confirmed.
Xiao Xin must have been forced to break up with him.
The person who was pressuring him was in this villa.
Xiao Xin handed the key to the male servant, then turned around and saw that Fu Yan was still standing there.
He stepped forward, grabbed Fu Yan's wrist, and led him toward the villa gate without saying a word.
Fu Yan staggered, following behind Xiao Xin with a numb expression.
The villa door was wide open, and a servant came out to greet them.
Xiao Xin stood by the door, grabbed Fu Yan's hand, and pushed him inside.
Yu Muqing sat in the center of the sofa in the hall. As soon as she looked up, she met Fu Yan's eyes from a distance of more than ten meters.
Fu Yan's dazed gaze turned sinister when he saw Yu Muqing.
He strode up to Yu Muqing, grabbed her by the collar, and punched her hard in the face.
Before Yu Muqing could react, she received a solid punch to her left cheek from Fu Yan.
Salty, foul-smelling blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Fu Yan grabbed his collar and was about to throw a second punch when Yu Muqing reacted quickly, pushing his shoulder and kicking him onto the coffee table behind him.
Fu Yan leaned against the coffee table and slowly slid to the ground, his spine aching so badly that he gasped for breath.
Yu Muqing tilted her head and lightly touched the wound at the corner of her mouth with her fingertip.
He hissed and looked down at Fu Yan: "Are you crazy, kid?"
Xiao Xin stood to the side, looking at the injury on Yu Muqing's face, and called out, "President Yu, you..."
