Chapter 147 He almost lost his life for her.
The two walked side by side, the rain pattering on their umbrellas, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Like a ferocious beast, he suddenly exerted his strength, pulling her close to his eyes, making it impossible for her to escape his gaze. His eyes were fixed on her, filled with gloom and madness, as if he wanted to devour her.
"Ye Xingran, you had better give me a reasonable explanation."
Fu Shiyue finally spoke, his voice as cold as ice on a cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
Her lips trembled slightly as she bit them, seemingly trying to suppress her inner unease. She slowly said, "It seems you already know, don't you? Why do you still come to question me?" Her voice was as light as a breeze, yet it lingered in Fu Shiyue's ears for a long time.
He finally found out; she had lied to him...
"If I said that I didn't intentionally hide my relationship with Joey from you, that it wasn't intentional, would you believe me?"
Her gaze met his directly.
Fu Shiyue sneered, the sound of which was particularly jarring in the silent space.
"Do you think I'd believe that? Ye Xingran, you're a woman who's full of lies." His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into her heart.
His hand gripped her arm tightly, so tightly that a sharp pain shot through her. She frowned, trying to break free, but his strength was too great; she couldn't move at all.
“Fu Shiyue, I had my reasons for not telling you back then, I…” She wanted to explain something, but Fu Shiyue didn’t give her a chance at all.
But Fu Shiyue wouldn't listen at all. "Difficulties? What difficulties could you possibly have kept from me? How many other things are you hiding from me?"
Just then, a black sedan sped by, splashing water that soaked her skirt.
Fu Shiyue frowned, but instinctively shielded her behind him.
The car door opened, and Joey got out. Seeing this scene, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Looks like I've come at the wrong time."
Ye Xingran's heart tightened; things seemed to be developing in an even worse direction.
Fu Shiyue looked at Qiao Yi, his eyes full of hostility, "What are you doing here?"
Joey said slowly, "I've come to see my old friend Ye Xingran. How is she?"
She walked lightly to Fu Shiyue, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips.
Her gaze fell unabashedly on Fu Shiyue, as if she wanted to see right through him.
"Mr. Fu, are your injuries healed?" Her voice carried a hint of teasing, arousing curiosity in him. Fu Shiyue's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
She seemed oblivious to Fu Shiyue's reaction, continuing to walk slowly around him like a playful cat teasing its prey. Her eyes never left Fu Shiyue, and her smiling gaze was somewhat unfathomable.
Finally, Fu Shiyue couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen enough?"
His voice was low and tinged with displeasure. However, she didn't seem to care and instead smiled even more brightly.
Ye Xingran stared at him with a look of suspicion, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she asked softly, "What injury? Are you injured?"
Her voice revealed a hint of concern and worry, showing how much she cared about his condition.
"It seems you know nothing about the inside story!"
Joey's lips curled into a smug smile, her tone laced with sarcasm, "Xingran, President Fu went deep into the base alone to get the antidote to save you, only to be shot in the abdomen and seriously wounded, yet he still risked his life to obtain the antidote. It seems you really have no idea?"
After saying that, she deliberately pretended to be shocked, as if she found Ye Xingran's doubts unbelievable.
He recalled that it was Shen Xian'an who had brought him the antidote before, not him.
For his own sake, he was actually willing to risk his life to find Lu Fei alone... Thinking back, he must have already suffered a serious gunshot wound at that time.
Fu Shiyue actually managed to go this far...
Her eyes were filled with shock and self-blame.
It turned out that he had suffered such serious injuries for her sake, while she had been kept in the dark and completely unaware of it all.
Her eyes slowly reddened, and tears welled up in them.
“Fu Shiyue…” Her voice trembled, filled with endless guilt and self-blame.
She used almost all her strength to say those three words.
As soon as she finished speaking, the words slid down her cheek.
She slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch his pale face and feel his warmth.
However, just as her fingers were about to touch his cheek, they suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know... I didn't know you had done so much for me." She sobbed, her voice trembling slightly.
Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame, hating herself for not discovering his efforts sooner.
"Such a grown man, still crying? Aren't you ashamed?" His tone remained icy.
He wiped away her tears.
Ye Xingran grasped his hand in mid-air, looked at him, and said, "Wait a moment, I need to say a few words to Joey."
He walked up to Joey, stopped, and took a deep breath.
She stared into Joey's eyes and saw only indifference and resoluteness.
Ye Xingran: "Are you really on the same side as Lu Fei now? You've seen how you've tormented Xie Huaijin. Are you feeling better now?"
Joey smiled and said, "No, I haven't seen the result I want yet. I won't let him go, nor will I let the Fu family or the Xie family go."
Her tone was full of hatred, as if she harbored a deep grudge against these people.
A chill ran down my spine. Joey was a ruthless character, but I hadn't expected her to be so cold-blooded. She bit her lip and continued, "Joey, why don't you include me in this? I'm Fu Shiyue's woman, are you going to lay a hand on me too?" I stared directly into Joey's eyes, unwavering.
Joey sneered, "You saved me when I was in Yunmeng. If it weren't for you, Ye Xingran, I would have died long ago. I don't want to touch you, so you'd better not mess with me."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head away.
"I'm here today just to tell you, don't go against me. You can't beat me. I hope you'll think twice before digging a hole for yourself."
After saying that, Joey quickly put on a pair of sunglasses, as if to isolate himself from the world.
She deftly opened the car door, got in, and then ordered the driver to start the car without hesitation.
The car slowly started moving, and Joey left without even looking back.
She walked towards Fu Shiyue step by step, as if each step carried a heavy burden.
Her mood was unusually heavy, as if shrouded in a dark cloud, making it hard to breathe.
Finally, she walked up to Fu Shiyue and stopped.
Ye Xingran slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Fu Shiyue's.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
She gazed into Fu Shiyue's eyes.
However, Fu Shiyue's eyes were like a deep pool of water, calm and profound, making them difficult to fathom.
After a moment of silence, she spoke softly:
"We go home."
These words were spoken very softly, yet it seemed as if they had used all the strength in the body.
