BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 - 220: Do You Like a Cat?
Xu Yanxi finally comprehended that he was referring to the news.
“Yes, I can do anything to get what I want,” Xu Yanxi replied, showing no fear of Xiao Yichen’s anger.
“Must I reiterate it? 1 don’t love you,” Xiao Yichen said.
Xu Yanxi’s heart quivered intensely upon hearing his words. She couldn’t hide a trace of bitterness, but she kept her composure. She mustered all her strength to remain calm.
“You don’t love me? Do you love Lin Wan?” Xu Yanxi asked, then answered, “Chen, the more you love her, the more 1 might… 1 might hate her.”
Xiao Yichen didn’t respond immediately, thinking deeply about Xu Yanxi’s words. So, what she meant was…
“You know my personality best. I will undoubtedly, personally destroy the person I despise.” Xu Yanxi gritted her teeth.
Her long history with Xiao Yichen since childhood made her unafraid of him.
She was not scared even when he was furious unless he underwent a drastic transformation.
“How dare you!” Xiao Yichen yelled. His expression was terrifyingly cold as he stared at Xu Yanxi and said, “If you ever lay a hand on her, I won’t let you go.”
No one could hurt his wife.
Even if it was Yanxi, he couldn’t have been ruthless before, but now he might be.
Upon observing Xiao Yichen’s expression, Xu Yanxi started feeling slightly fearful. Tears welled up in her eyes, and after a while, she began crying.
“Xiao Yichen, how could you do this for her?” Xu Yanxi cried and made a scene. “You used to adore me immensely, and now you’re willing to harm me. How could you?”
Xu Yanxi lightly struck Xiao Yichen’s body with her hands as she spoke, though it lacked force.
Xiao Yichen looked at Xu Yanxi with a sense of helplessness, uncertain about how to respond.
“What’s so great about Lin Wan? Why are you so good to her?” Xu Yanxi inquired as she sobbed. “You once promised to treat me well forever. Boo hoo… Have you forgotten what you said?”
Xu Yanxi’s crying moved Xiao Yichen, his lips trembling as he tried to say something several times but couldn’t find the words.
After a lengthy pause, he spoke gentler, “Alright, stop crying.”
“Keep crying, and you’ll turn into an ugly cat,” Xiao Yichen said, offering a few tissues and turning to wipe Xu Yanxi’s tears.
Upon seeing his actions, Xu Yanxi gradually stopped crying, though her gaze remained angry as she watched him.
“Then, do you like cats?” Xu Yanxi timidly asked Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen paused and pondered momentarily but did not answer Xu Yanxi’s question. Instead, he said, “Go inside and wash your face. I’ll take you out to lunch.”
Xu Yanxi didn’t receive a direct response, but Xiao Yichen’s words diverted her attention. She responded enthusiastically, “Yes, 1 want to have Western food. Shall we have Western food for lunch together?”
Xiao Yichen observed the swift change in Xu Yanxi’s expression but remained silent. He eventually nodded in defeat.
At noon, Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi finished lunch. Xu Yanxi proposed seeing a movie in the afternoon, but Xiao Yichen declined, citing work-related obligations.
After returning to the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen concluded his work after 6 PM. Instead of driving to Blue Bay villa, he visited his mother-in-law’s home.
After dinner, Lin Wan and her mother were preparing to clear the table and wash the dishes when they heard the doorbell ring.
“Who could that be?” Qiao Yujuan asked in confusion before going to the door to answer it..
