C1 Are You Done Messing Around

North of the city, the Lu residence.

A sharp knife was pressed against her chest. The cold touch made Leng Xinyi tremble slightly. Her fingers, which were holding the knife's hilt, exerted even more force.

"I will say it again. Ask Lu Yunchen to come back immediately." Her face was pale as she spoke coldly.

"Young Madam, this knife is not a joke..." One of the maids tried to step forward.

"Don't come over!" Leng Xinyi looked around. Her long black hair hung down to her waist and her skin was glowing under the sunlight. Her phoenix eyes were black and her expression was covered with a layer of ice, freezing the surrounding air a little.

After a stalemate for a long time, no one dared to take another step forward. They could only watch helplessly as the blood red at the tip of the knife spread out bit by bit, adding a bit of enchanting and horror to the scene.

"Young Master! Young Master is back!" A loud cry sounded outside the encirclement, breaking the silence.

Leng Xinyi's fingers trembled, her lips pursed, and her stiff body looked towards the entrance of the garden.

The servants automatically opened up a path, and the air instantly froze, leaving only the sound of breathing by their ears, followed by steady footsteps.

Every step ruthlessly stepped on Leng Xinyi's heart.

A tall figure appeared, wearing a black suit casually. The collar of the shirt had loosened, and a faintly discernible collarbone could be seen following the movements. The tie was slanted to the side, 30% evil, 70% abstinence - it was Lu Yunchen's usual style.

"What are you doing now?" Lu Yunchen stopped. His eyes changed when he saw the blood on her chest. "Xinyi, put down the knife."

Leng Xinyi did not answer. Her eyes swept across the delicate face and her heart felt cold.

This was the person she had loved for a whole ten years... Since the three years of marriage, Lu Yunchen had always been distant from her. She did not understand the reason until today when she finally had an answer.

"Lu Yunchen, why did you marry me?" Leng Xinyi opened her mouth, her voice cold.

She had asked this question more than once, but today was the only time she was serious.

"Put the knife down first." Lu Yunchen frowned.

"Answer me!"

Lu Yunchen pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. "Who have you met today?"

Leng Xinyi stared at him for a while and laughed. "What, you don't dare to say anymore? There are things in this world that you, CEO Lu, are afraid of?"

"I don't care what you heard. Put down the knife first and let's have a good talk." Lu Yunchen raised his leg and was about to step forward.

Leng Xinyi exerted force with her fingers and the tip of the knife penetrated a few centimeters into her chest. She instantly felt pain.

"Retreat!"

"Leng Xinyi!" Lu Yunchen's pupils shrank as he stared at her chest.

"I didn't expect to see such an expression on your face while I was still alive... Tsk, interesting. " Leng Xinyi's lips were always hooked, but her smile gradually became desolate. " Let me guess what caused Director Lu to panic so much. Was your wife who was married to you for three years injured? Or..."

Her smile turned cold, her eyes turned slightly, and the tip of her knife knocked on the position of her heart," Because of this heart? "

Lu Yunchen's expression clearly fluctuated for a moment. Cracks slowly appeared on that exquisite face.

As expected...

Leng Xinyi's fingers turned numb and the last trace of hope was also completely destroyed. Her entire body was cold as if she had just been fished out of an ice cave. She kept trembling and her eyes were slightly red.

It turned out that the reason why she was able to have these three years of marriage was all because of this damn heart!

"Xinyi, calm down." Lu Yunchen frowned slightly. "I can explain everything..."

"You know, I fell in love with you ten years ago." Leng Xinyi curled the corner of her mouth, tears rolling on her face. " For a whole ten years, I loved you for a whole ten years. When the Leng family was in trouble, you just stood by and watched. My father jumped off a building and became a vegetable. You were also indifferent. I never understood why... I thought you were willing to marry me, at least you felt something for me."

" Don't let your imagination run wild. " Lu Yunchen said.

"I really hope my imagination runs wild." She closed her eyes and touched her heart with a smile. "The owner of this heart is Xia Wanwan. Someone told me just now that she is the love of your life, right?"

There was silence on the other side.

Leng Xinyi's voice was cold, "Lu Yunchen, then what am I? Who am I?"

The air was silent for a moment.

... "You are Leng Xinyi, my wife." Finally, he opened his mouth to answer.

"Wife, what a good wife!" Leng Xinyi smiled and nodded. Her black eyes were bright and threatening under the sunlight. In an instant, her emotions froze. She suddenly raised her finger and forcefully stabbed it towards her heart.

Lu Yunchen's expression changed and he suddenly stepped forward.

"Ah!" The servants screamed.

He moved very quickly and used his arm to block the knife. Then, he raised his elbow and grabbed Leng Xinyi's hands, pressing them to the side.

Ding.

The tip of the knife stabbed into the ground and bounced, producing a clear sound.

"Let go!" Leng Xinyi struggled.

"Leng Xinyi, are you done messing around?" Lu Yunchen growled, the veins on his forehead bulging.

Leng Xinyi's movements instantly stopped. Her pale fingers trembled, and the last glimmer of light in her eyes disappeared. The corner of her mouth twitched, and her smile was uglier than crying.

That's right... She already had the answer, what was she still making a fuss about?

A few servants came forward and immediately supported Leng Xinyi from the left and right.

"You go back to your room first. I will go and see you tonight." Lu Yunchen loosened his hands and quickly returned to his cool appearance. He lifted his leg and turned around.

"Lu Yunchen." A hoarse voice sounded behind him.

He stopped in his tracks, pursed his lips, and did not look back.

"Do you remember what I said on the first anniversary of our marriage?" Leng Xinyi slowly raised her head, her gaze slid past his broad back and fixed on his long legs.

Lu Yunchen narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of something.

"If one day you are tired of this marriage, you must tell me personally. I will leave with dignity."

This was what she had said before.

She had always been proud. Even if she sensed his coldness, she had never cried and played with her temper. She had always been indifferent and calm.

"I don't remember." Lu Yunchen said in a low voice. He turned his head and said, "I will only have you as my wife in my life. The old matters have already passed. Xinyi, don't be so stubborn."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure had already disappeared from the door.

Leng Xinyi raised her chin slightly. Her expression had already dropped to the freezing point. All the pain accumulated in her maroon pupils suddenly disappeared the moment before it exploded.

She closed her eyes and laughed out loud after a long while.

"Send me back to my room." Leng Xinyi said.

The maid immediately answered and walked forward.

Three hours later, the sun stopped shining and the dusk came. The study gradually fell into darkness.

Lu Yunchen opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and sat up.

"Young Master! Young Master!" A servant's call suddenly rang out from outside the door, and the sound of footsteps instantly became chaotic.

Lu Yunchen frowned slightly and opened the door. "Speak."

"Young Madam... Young Madam, she..." The maid's face was pale as she panted and pointed to the bedroom.

Lu Yunchen's hand, which was holding the door frame, suddenly tightened. He turned around and ran in the direction of the bedroom.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open and his footsteps stopped on the spot.
