Chapter 169 - Is This My Punishment? (2)

Yang Zheyan was shocked at her outburst and wasn't sure what to say. 

"You lied to me, and I believed you!" Xiong Jingfei was able to free one of her arms and pointed her finger at Yang Zheyan. "I didn't have the power to go against you in the past!"

"I never lied to you, Feifei." Yang Zheyan walked closer to Xiong Jingfei and Wu Yuan. "What did I do to you in the past for you to hate me like this?" 

Yang Zheyan was sure they never met in the past. What did he do to her for her to be this enraged at him? He would remember if he ever encountered her. She was the one who didn't know me!

"Sister-in-law… What are you talking about?" Lu Weisheng stood next to Yang Zheyan, and he was just as confused. 

He came over to bring good news but somehow got stuff thrown at him too. He wanted to cry that he was an innocent party in this lover quarrel. How can she hit him in the head with a pillow!?

"I don't want to marry you! I will break off this stupid engagement!" Xiong Jingfei cried and was still struggling to get herself released from Wu Yuan's grip. "Let go of me, Yuan!"

"Sister-in-law!?" Lu Weisheng gasped in horror. "How can you say that?"

Before, he was only half-joking about wanting to break them apart, so Yang Zheyan can become a single dog like him. Except, he doesn't think Xiong Jingfei is joking, and she is actually serious about it. 

First of all, there were too many unexplained things happening at once. Lu Weisheng wasn't sure how things got escalated to this point. 

Lu Weisheng came over because someone told him a place where he could possibly find the butterfly hairpin. He didn't tell Yang Zheyan about it yet, because the person looking for it was not home at the moment. He was waiting for Xiong Jingfei to get back. 

While he was going off about a different topic to Yang Zheyan. The door slammed open, scaring the shit out of him. Who will dare be so rude in the quiet Yang Zheyan's house? He was the only person allowed to be the loud one! 

"Feifei, is that you? Lu Weisheng is here about the hairpin…" Yang Zheyan stopped mid-sentence after seeing her face stained with tears. It wasn't just stained, there was more still running down her face. He immediately got off the sofa. "Did something happen? Why are you crying?"

When Xiong Jingfei didn't answer him, his voice turned somewhat threatening. "Answer me! Who did this to you?" 

Xiong Jingfei pushed him away and slapped him across the face. "It was you!"

Lu Weisheng almost fainted from the shock. The spoiled Yang Zheyan actually got slapped! Even he doesn't have the guts to hit him!

Yang Zheyan touched his cheek, shocked and utterly confused about why she slapped him. They just got closer the other day, but today she came home and slapped him. 

"This is still very little." Xiong Jingfei hissed through clenched teeth. The right hand she used to slap him was burning as hot as his face. 

Both of them went into a state of shock. They heard it twice! They heard Xiong Jingfei talk twice, so it wasn't a dream! 

Yang Zheyan instantly forgot about the slap, and a small smile appeared on his face. "Feifei, your voice… You can talk…"

He wanted to give her a hug, but she quickly backed away from him. 

"Don't touch me!" Xiong Jingfei screamed and grabbed the closest thing to her. She threw it directly at him, and he dodged it. "I believed in our empty promises! I was so stupid!" 

"What promises?" Yang Zheyan never made any sort of promise with her. He WOULD know if he made any promises with her! "I-"

"You threw me out like I wasn't even human! You married…" Xiong Jingfei was having trouble breathing, causing the inability to produce any sound or resembling words. "I… I…" 

This was when Wu Yuan walked in. He wasn't that far behind Xiong Jingfei from when she took off. 

"Sister-in-law…" Lu Weisheng was also trying to calm down Xiong Jingfei. Instead, he got things thrown at him whenever he tried to say anything. 

"Shut the f*ck up! Who is your sister-in-law!?" Xiong Jingfei shrieked, kicking her legs at him but was held back by Wu Yuan. 

This scared the shit out of Lu Weisheng. He thought he saw the bloody version of her for a second. 

She screamed, "Do you think you're also innocent!?"

Lu Weisheng clamped his mouth shut. What did he do to her? There was only one time he teased her, and it was when he lied he was Yang Zheyan. It was that ONE time only! He thought it was sorted out between them. 

"Feifei, please leave with me first!" Wu Yuan begged, pulling Xiong Jingfei back, but she was pushing forward. 

"Yuan! Didn't you hear me!? Let go of me this instant!" Xiong Jingefei shouted at him. She may not have her hands free, but her legs weren't caged. "Yuan! Did you not hear me!? I SAID, let go of me!"

"I hear you… I heard you, but you need to stop." Wu Yuan said in an almost heartbreaking yet tender voice. She called him Yuan… How long has it been? 

"Feifei, whatever I did to you. Please tell me, and let's solve it together." Yang Zhyean tenderly wiped away the tears on her face. 

Seeing her cry in agony was aching for him. He never thought that seeing her cry because of him would make him feel this miserable. It seems like he was the cause of it, but he doesn't know what he did for her to become like this. 

Xiong Jingfei stood still and let him wipe away the tears on her face. 

They were the hands she yearned for to wipe away her tears the most in the past. She stared at that handsome face belonging to the person she loved so much. The person she was willing to give everything to and believed in him unconditionally. 

It was him, Yang Zheyan.
