Chapter 424: Revenge of the Republic of China 12
The next time I saw Fu Wanyi was on the day she left Xicheng.
Although Fu Xicheng had locked her up for a few days, he still let her go because she was the daughter of Zhang Junyi, the governor of Beicheng, and she had slept with him for a few days, so maybe she had enough sleep, so he let her go.
That day, it was Xiao Beichen who came to pick her up.
Xue Yi was wearing a little white dress, carrying a bag, and had her long hair tied behind her head.
Fu Wanyi stood behind her, looked at her, and asked, "Wanwan, will you come to Xicheng again in the future?"
Xueyi looked back, met Fu Wanyi's clear eyes, and smiled: "Maybe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Beichen's car arrived.
Xueyi carried her bag and got into the car. Fu Wanyi stood there, watching her car go farther and farther away until it disappeared.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Hello, help me check someone."
A voice came from the other side: "Okay, young master, you order."
...
In the car, Xiao Beichen frowned slightly as he looked at the girl beside him who was obviously absent-minded.
"Shuwan, what's wrong with you? How was your trip to West City?"
Xue Yi came back to her senses, met Xiao Beichen's concerned eyes, and curled her lips: "Not bad."
Xiao Beichen obviously didn't believe it, and reached out to rub her head: "You don't have to be like this in front of me."
Xue Yi turned her head and looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window without saying a word.
Xiao Beichen didn't care. He reached out and held her hand, interlocking their fingers. He said softly, "Shu Wan, although Xicheng is good, it's not a place we should stay for long."
"Although North City and West City have signed a peace treaty, it does not mean that the treaty will remain valid in the future."
"Father offended many people in his early years. Shuwan, for your safety, we must try to stay in North City."
Xue Yi leaned on Xiao Beichen's shoulder, the scenery outside the window flashed by, she closed her eyes, but in her heart she was thinking about what Fu Xicheng said to her before he left.
"Zhang Shuwan, remember this, you are mine. After you go back, you are not allowed to have any contact with Xiao Beichen. Even if you die, you can only die in my hands."
The man's voice was cold and fierce, like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
She opened her eyes, and a complex emotion flashed in them.
Xiao Beichen noticed her strangeness and looked down at her: "Shu Wan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xue Yi shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Xiao Beichen didn't ask any more questions, but just hugged her gently and let her lean on him.
When we returned to North City, it was already late.
Xiao Beichen held the sleeping Xueyi in his arms, slowly walked into the room, and gently placed her on the bed.
The moonlight shines through the half-open window onto her peaceful face, adding a touch of softness to her.
He lowered his head, his eyes unconsciously falling on her neck, where a faint kiss mark came into view. Xiao Beichen was stunned for a moment, with a flash of shock and anger in his eyes.
That is……
Who did it?
Who dares to touch his woman? !
Xiao Beichen recalled how Xue Yi looked absent-minded after returning from West City, and his anger grew stronger.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the kiss mark, but stopped at the last moment.
The man's fingers were clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white, and he seemed to be trying hard to restrain something.
Looking at her sleeping face, Xiao Beichen's breathing became unstable, his hands tightly clenched on the quilt, veins bulging, "Shu Wan..."
"What on earth did you do in West City?"
But she was asleep and didn't hear it.
Even if I heard it, I wouldn't give him any response.
Xiao Beichen took a deep breath and chose not to wake her up. Instead, he went to the balcony alone. The night breeze was cool, but it could not blow away the anger in his heart.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. His voice was cold: "Check for me all of Shu Wan's whereabouts during her stay in West City, especially who she came into contact with."
The person on the other end of the phone did not dare to neglect it and immediately responded: "Yes, Marshal, I will check it out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Beichen's gaze fell through the half-open window on Xue Yi who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart, unable to accept what might have happened to his woman during the days she was away from him.
Was it that Shuwan was wronged, or...did she change her heart?
……
Xiao Beichen arranged his men to investigate Xue Yi's whereabouts in West City. Before the result was determined, he did not point out that he had discovered the kiss mark. Instead, he became more and more concerned about Xue Yi.
Three months later, there was an exchange meeting in Lancheng. As an important hub between the two cities, Lancheng often held such banquets and invited dignitaries from the three cities to participate. It was called an exchange, but in fact it was a mate selection conference.
If they fall in love with each other, they will get together.
However, not everyone wants to choose their future wife or husband in such an occasion. On the contrary, many rich girls and young masters look down on such occasions.
But even if it was just for show, the invited guests had to be present, because the person hosting the banquet was the wife of the Grand Commander of Lancheng.
The lady doesn't have any hobbies except matchmaking.
If some people don't want to come, at least they have to give them some face.
Xiao Beichen carefully selected a lavender evening dress for Xue Yi, which was elegant and dignified.
At the dinner, the two walked into the venue hand in hand, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Xue Yi held Xiao Beichen's arm, and with a decent smile on her face, she greeted the guests one by one.
At this time, Fu Wanyi also arrived at the venue.
As the only nephew of President Fu, he was naturally among the invited guests.
The young man looked at Xiao Beichen and Xue Yi from afar, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.
He was wearing a black suit and holding a glass of red wine. When he approached the two of them, he happened to hear Xiao Beichen whisper to Xue Yi: "Shu Wan, you are so beautiful tonight."
Fu Wanyi felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't help but walked forward and interrupted their conversation: "Marshal Xiao, Miss Zhang, long time no see."
Xue Yi nodded politely in response, while Xiao Beichen frowned slightly, displeased by Fu Wanyi's sudden appearance.
Xiao Beichen nodded lightly and was about to take Xue Yi away, but was stopped by Fu Wanyi.
The boy's hand holding the wine glass was shaking a little, but he still spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Miss Zhang and I are old acquaintances. Can I talk to her for a moment? There are some things I want to discuss with her."
Xiao Beichen's face darkened slightly, and when he was about to refuse, he felt Xue Yi gently pulling his sleeve.
He turned his head and saw her speak softly: "Brother Beichen, you go first, I do have something to say to him."
Xiao Beichen and her clasped hands tightened, then loosened. Just at this moment, his subordinate standing not far away made a gesture to him.
The man's tone was still somewhat unhappy, but he let go of her hand and said, "Since we are old acquaintances, let's chat for a while. But don't stay too long."
After saying that, he turned and walked aside, leaving Xue Yi and Fu Wan Yi alone.
Fu Wanyi looked at Xiao Beichen's back, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He turned to Xue Yi, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wan Wan, long time no see."
Xue Yi took him to a corridor in the corner, which was dimly lit and few people passed by.
As soon as they were alone, Fu Wanyi could no longer control himself and hugged her tightly in his arms, his voice choking with sobs: "Wanwan, why didn't you tell me that you had a fiancé? Why did you kiss me in the pub that day?"
His embrace was so tight and he used so much strength that Xue Yi was almost unable to breathe, but she did not struggle.
She closed her eyes gently and said, "Wanyi, I..." Her voice was trembling.
"Wanwan, I miss you so much." Fu Wanyi interrupted her, buried his head in her neck, greedily inhaling her breath and smell.
Fu Wanyi's voice was choked with sobs. He raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes, "I just want to know, do you have me in your heart?"
"What is the relationship between you, my uncle, and Marshal Xiao?"
The lights in the corridor were dim, stretching the two people's shadows long. Fu Wanyi's tears fell silently on Xueyi's neck, burning her heart and making it tremble.
She gently broke free from Fu Wanyi's embrace and took a step back, "Wanyi, I am a fickle person."
She whispered, with a bit of determination in her voice, "I have a crush on you, but I'm already involved with your uncle, and Xiao Beichen is the fiancé my family arranged for me. I'm weighing the pros and cons between you two, but I don't know how to choose."
"I am not worthy of your persistence."
The lights in the corridor cast mottled shadows on her face. Fu Wanyi looked at her, tears rolling down her cheeks, but she stubbornly refused to lower her head.
"Wanwan, I..." He tried to speak, but was interrupted by Xueyi.
"Wanyi, you are still young and should have a better future." Xueyi took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice, "Forget me and don't come to me again."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Fu Wanyi standing alone in the dim corridor, tears silently falling.
The air still lingered with the girl's fragrance, but just like her, he could neither catch nor keep her.
