Chapter 144: Chapter 144: You Need Time to Cool Off

Ye Yan sat on the balcony of the second floor, the place where she had met Shen Wan’er for the first time.

From here, looking over the entire resort, even though it wasn’t officially open, it was a peaceful haven, bathed in soft golden lights, like a tranquil paradise.

The occasional calls of birds reached her ears, and not far away, there was the tinkling sound of a spring under a rockery. If she listened closely, she could also hear classical music coming from somewhere, sounding faintly, echoing through the valley.

Ye Yan took out her phone to send a message to Fu Xingzhou.

But after she had composed the text, it just kept spinning, and she couldn’t send it at all.

She tried making a call, but the phone was perpetually in a poor signal state, and she couldn’t make calls either.

Whether it was the internet or communication, her phone couldn’t connect to the outside world.

"Ah Si," Ye Yan called urgently to the bodyguard standing like a pillar not far away, "why is there no signal on my phone?"

The last time she was here, there had been full coverage, Fu Xingzhou had said that the area was specially equipped with communication networks for the convenience of tourists.

Otherwise, it was common for the signal to be intermittently good and bad in such a remote valley.

Ah Si still wore that expressionless face: "Madam’s phone indeed can’t be used."

"What do you mean?"

"If madam has any needs, just tell me, whatever it is, we will help you accomplish it."

Ye Yan laughed mockingly.

What did Fu Xingzhou mean by luring her here, cutting off her contact with the outside world? Was he trying to indirectly restrict her freedom?

He must have gone mad.

"Fine, I have something now, I want Fu Xingzhou to appear here immediately," Ye Yan shivered with anger, "Didn’t you say you would help me with anything? I want to see Fu Xingzhou now."

Even though she was extremely angry, she didn’t become hysterical, but maintained a seemingly amicable surface.

The order had been given by Fu Xingzhou, he was the true culprit; the bodyguard shouldn’t bear her wrath.

"Mr. Fu is still on his way."

Ye Yan took a deep breath and walked towards her room.

"Then give me a packet of dried fish."

Ah Si didn’t expect such a request from her, but evidently, it was something he could handle easily.

Ye Yan took the dried fish back to her room, and Sijiu, attracted by the smell, came over.

She fed it a few sticks of dried fish, then Ye Yan tried again to contact the outside world. This time, her phone signal vanished completely and internet browsing became even more impossible, every webpage just kept spinning, making her dizzy.

Damn Fu Xingzhou!

Until she fell asleep, Ye Yan was still cursing him in her mind.

After an unknown time, the door opened.

In the darkness, Sijiu opened its beautiful big eyes and quickly traced the sound, vigorously rubbing against the newcomer’s pants.

Fu Xingzhou pushed it aside and carelessly hung his coat on the rack.

The bedroom door was closed, which he pushed open.

A small lamp was on by the bed, under which a small bulge on the bed was covered under the warm light.

This scene was just like the times he used to come home late, able to see her sleeping there immediately upon entering, no matter how busy or irritable his day had been, his emotions would immediately be soothed.

Fu Xingzhou sat down beside the bed, his long fingers gently touching her cheek.

It felt silky smooth, a touch he was familiar with.

Her baby-like sleeping posture and her sculpted facial features were also endowed with a holy glow under the light.

Fu Xingzhou felt increasingly that he couldn’t live without her, not for this lifetime.

So, he wouldn’t let go, even if it meant confining her to his side in this manner.

Whether she was angry or annoyed, as long as he could see her and touch her, it was enough.

She called him selfish, and he admitted it; regarding his possessiveness over her, he had always been selfish.

Unconsciously, Fu Xingzhou failed to notice that the force in his hand was gradually increasing.

Ye Yan was still in deep sleep when she felt something crawling on her face; instinctively, she reached up to grab it.

With that grab, she was fully awake.

What she caught in her hand was a beautifully sculpted hand—slender, strong, each joint exuding beauty.

She abruptly sat up, her body shrinking back slightly, putting some distance between them.

In her eyes, there was nothing but caution.

Stung by the emotion in her eyes, Fu Xingzhou tried again to touch her face but she harshly avoided him, "Don’t touch me."

"Yanyan."

"Don’t call me that."

Every time he affectionately called her by her name, it reminded her of those sweet past moments.

His tenderness was indeed given to her, but so was his cruelty, mercilessly.

"I know you’re still angry, it’s okay, I will slowly make it up to you; whatever you and Ye Zhun want, I will provide," Fu Xingzhou locked eyes with her beautiful ones, "I will get him into the best university in Capital City, into the major he admires the most. After graduation, he can choose any job he wishes. I can start a company for him, let him be the boss, a cut above others."

"Why did you resign for me?" Ye Yan thought of this and trembled with anger, "Fu Xingzhou, what gives you the right to make decisions for me?"

"If you want, the entire hospital can be yours."

"I don’t need it, I just want to go back to my original position, I want to continue being a doctor."

"Fine, you can do whatever you want, but you can’t talk about divorce anymore, and you certainly can’t leave me." Fu Xingzhou’s tone was gentle but slightly beguiling, "I know I was wrong, give me time to make up for it, okay?"

"How can I trust you?" Ye Yan’s eyes welled up, "Have you ever felt what it’s like to be betrayed by the person you trust the most? Fu Xingzhou, I relied on you so much, trusted you so much, how could you be so cruel to me? The deeper my love for you, the deeper my hatred; you ask me to forgive you now and continue being with you, I can’t do it."

"I’m not forcing you; I’m giving you time."

"You’re not forcing me?" Ye Yan picked up the bedside phone, "You’ve cut off my contact with the outside world, is this not forcing me?"

"Yanyan, it’s just temporary, you need time to calm down."

"I am calm."

Fu Xingzhou stood up, "I’m staying next door, call me anytime if you need something."

"Fu Xingzhou, are you really going to keep me confined like this forever? Do you find that interesting?"

"As long as I can see you, it has meaning."

Fu Xingzhou opened the door, "Good night."

Ye Yan knew she couldn’t persuade him now, but she had no other good methods; even if she could communicate with the outside world, what use was it? She could only turn to Meng Tian.

Compared to Fu Xingzhou, Meng Tian was in no position to contend, she would only add to her worry.

Starvation? Self-harm?

As a doctor, she would never use harming her body as a bargaining chip; that was childish and ignorant behavior.

Ye Yan lay back down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought for a long time.

The next day when she woke up, it was Fu Xingzhou himself who brought in breakfast.

He set the tableware like a gentleman, every action as if nothing had happened between them.

"Do you want to go horseback riding today?"

Last time she had twisted her foot and hadn’t had the chance to experience
