Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 448 - Chapter 448 Chapter 446 Yanxi I Hate You (Evening Yan CP

Chapter 448: Chapter 446: Yanxi, I Hate You (Evening Yan CP Volume One Complete) Chapter 448: Chapter 446: Yanxi, I Hate You (Evening Yan CP Volume One Complete) Xia Yiwan’s heart sank. She didn’t ask any further and strode upstairs.

Just as she reached the bedroom door, it was pulled open from the inside.

Both were taken aback at the sight of one another.

Shi Ying was the first to recover, her voice soft as she said, “Miss Xia, you’ve returned?”

Xia Yiwan looked at Shi Ying, who stood at the master bedroom door in a white silk nightgown with a V-neck design revealing her delicate collarbone. Below the hem, her legs were thin and white.

Shi Ying was very slim, but not bony–she still had curves where it mattered.

Her long, black, silky hair draped over her shoulders, giving her an air of innocence and purity.

This nightgown had been bought by Yanxi for Xia Yiwan.

She hadn’t taken it with her when she left.

Now, Shi Ying was wearing it–did Yanxi permit this?

Despite having resigned herself to despair these past days, seeing this scene stirred tumultuous emotions within Xia Yiwan again.

What could they possibly have done, with Shi Ying appearing in the master bedroom at this hour and wearing the nightgown she once wore?

Especially since this nightgown was quite sexy; previously, whenever Yanxi saw her in it, he would cling to her, nearly denying her sleep all night long.

Shi Ying, noticing Xia Yiwan’s expression, bit her lip gently and said softly, “Miss Xia, Yanxi brought me here for a home-cooked meal. I accidentally spilled soup on my clothes, and since I didn’t bring any other attire, I changed into Miss Xia’s nightgown. I’ll switch back as soon as my clothes are dry. You won’t mind, will you?”

Xia Yiwan’s heart constricted. She knew she should apologize to Shi Ying, seek her forgiveness, but at that moment, her mind went blank, and her words came out cold and mocking, “Yanxi and I aren’t divorced yet, and you can’t wait to flaunt yourself? Ha, how was the man I’ve slept with? Look at your flirty facade, what ‘pure Goddess’ act? That might fool ignorant men, but not me.”

Shi Ying’s face turned pale as her eyes filled with a layer of mist, looking as if she might cry. “Miss Xia, if you don’t want me to wear your clothes, you could have just said so. Why insult me?”

Before Xia Yiwan could respond, Shi Ying turned and went back into the room.

Shortly after, she emerged wearing different clothes.

Xia Yiwan fixed her gaze on Shi Ying and almost choked with rage.

Shi Ying had indeed changed out of the nightgown, but now she wore a man’s white shirt.

On her, the shirt was very oversized, barely covering her buttocks and thighs.

It was even more enticing and sexy than the nightgown she had worn before.

Any man would probably get a nosebleed looking at her.

And Xia Yiwan was truly sickened; she felt like throwing up!

She had never imagined that Yanxi’s White Moonlight would be such a White Lotus.

Xia Yiwan’s fingers trembled as she pointed at Shi Ying’s nose, “You’re truly disgusting. Are all the men in the world dead? Are you that eager to wreck someone else’s home–”

Before she could finish, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the study.

“Xia Yiwan, who are you calling disgusting?”

After finishing an important email, Yanxi came out of the room.

Shi Ying walked over to Yanxi, gently grasped the sleeve of his shirt, with a pale face and looking utterly frightened, “Yanxi, I just borrowed your shirt for a moment, and your wife–”

Yanxi, thinking of the recent diagnosis of Shi Ying’s depression, shielded her behind him, “It’s okay, a shirt is just a shirt, wear it if you wish.”

Xia Yiwan watched the couple nearby, biting her lips hard and shaking uncontrollably.

This man had finally stopped pretending!

Toward the wife he did not love, and his deeply adored White Moonlight, he showed such starkly different faces.

Yanxi looked at Xia Yiwan, his peach blossom eyes revealing a trace of complexity, “Did you need to see me for something?”

There was no trace of guilt or panic in his eyes, as if his interaction with Shi Ying was completely normal.

Xia Yiwan saw the expression on Yanxi’s face, and her nose tingled with a sharp sourness.

She closed her eyes, struggling to contain her emotions, “I’m here to see Miss Shi, I want her to drop the charges against my father.”

Hearing Xia Yiwan mention Father Xia, Shi Ying’s body couldn’t stop trembling; she wrapped her arms around her head, her emotions becoming immediately agitated.

“Ah… no…”

She crouched down, as if about to collapse.

Yanxi soothed Shi Ying for a moment, but she was too agitated to be comforted.

He had no choice but to carry her into the bedroom and give her a shot of a sedative.

When he came back out, his gaze was ominously cold as he glanced at Xia Yiwan, “You see that? The damage your dad has done to her has already become like this, and you still want her to forgive?”

His eyes filled with resentment, as though if she said one more word, he would strangle her to death right then and there.

Xia Yiwan felt as if she had fallen into a cold dungeon.

Tears quickly blurred her entire vision.

Her heart ached terribly, even her soul seemed to be shattered.

“So, there’s no room for negotiation, is that it?” Xia Yiwan’s lips trembled, “Can I kneel down and beg for Miss Shi’s forgiveness? Just don’t let my dad go to jail!”

She knew full well that the crime her father was accused of might have been orchestrated by Shi Ying, but she had no evidence.

And yet, she still had to humbly beg Shi Ying, to apologize to her!

This kind of injustice, humiliation, agony, and pain, were unimaginable for ordinary people.

Perhaps the pain in her chest was so severe that even her lower abdomen began to hurt.

As if the baby in her belly could feel her helplessness and heartbreak!

“Xia Yiwan, if you break the law, you must face the consequences!”

Yanxi’s gaze was decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xia Yiwan lowered her long lashes, and tears fell from her eyes.

Seeing her with tears streaming down her face, Yanxi furrowed his brows tightly.

He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to wipe the tears from her face, but halfway through, he retracted it.

His expression complex, he looked at her with an indescribable heaviness and suffocation in his heart.

Xia Yiwan stepped backward, her tear-blurred eyes looking at the man before her, both familiar and strange, and she screamed hoarsely, “Yanxi, I hate you!”

In this lifetime, she would never forgive him!

He was nothing but a bastard, a scumbag who couldn’t tell right from wrong!

She was foolish, stupid for falling in love with such a man!

Xia Yiwan kept stepping back, at this moment Yanxi, in her eyes, appeared like a devil with bared fangs and claws, ready to tear apart her viscera and her soul into pieces!

Watching Xia Yiwan run downstairs, Yanxi felt a strange surge of emotion in the depths of his heart, he was unclear what kind of feeling it was; it was as if something important was slipping away from the bottom of his heart, but before he could grasp it, it had already dissipated.

Xia Yiwan drove away from the Yan family, completely feeling the cold-bloodedness and indifference of Yanxi this time.

Tears, like pearls cut off from a string, could not be stopped.

The car drove onto the fly-over and during a downhill stretch, the brakes suddenly failed.
