C7 She Checked Her Body

"You even brought back your lover's clothes!"

Soong Yichen immediately noticed the clothes, his eyes blazing with anger. He stormed over and threw them to the ground.

Mu Wanxing quickly rushed over, crouching down to pick them up. She was worried about damaging the clothes, knowing they were custom-made. She had no idea about the brand or his size, and even if he didn't ask her to pay for any damage, she'd feel indebted.

"You're treating a piece of clothing like it's a treasure... Let go!" Yichen's face was a storm, his voice harsh.

Wanxing wasn't about to listen to him, clutching the clothes tightly.

Yichen's expression hardened as he snatched the clothes back and tossed them to the floor again.

Wanxing lunged to grab them, but Yichen stepped on her hand. "Let go!"

Her hand throbbed with pain, but she was stubborn. "No!"

The defiance in her eyes seemed like a challenge to Yichen, and he pressed down harder with his foot.

"Ah!" Wanxing couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Are you going to let go?" Yichen's gaze was fierce.

Wanxing bit her lip, shaking her head, using her free hand to push against Yichen's leg. He stood firm as a rock, her hand beneath his foot growing numb from the pain.

Her eyes reddened, but she kept them wide open, tilting her head slightly to keep the tears from falling.

Yichen suddenly released his grip, and just as Wanxing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he reached out, yanking her up and violently pushing her onto the bed. He loomed over her, starting to pull at her pajamas.

Wanxing clutched her clothes, shielding herself in fear. "What are you doing?"

He looked terrifying.

"Checking your body!" Yichen spat out through gritted teeth.

Wanxing's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"Seeing if that man has been with you," Yichen said darkly.

Wanxing felt utterly humiliated. It was him who was tangled up with Qier day and night, yet he dared to question her integrity!

Shaking with anger and feeling powerless, Wanxing couldn't stop Yichen as he forcefully stripped off her pajamas. He scrutinized her. "No marks on your body... doesn't mean nothing happened. Are you going to take off your pants, or should I?"

Before she could respond, he yanked down her loose pants, leaving only her underwear.

"You jerk!" Wanxing was furious, slapping Yichen across the face.

Yichen grabbed her hand, squeezing it tightly, his eyes fierce like a wolf's.

Wanxing felt like her fingers were about to break, the pain making it hard to breathe, but she was no match for Yichen.

Her hand, already tormented day and night by the tumor, had just been stomped on and ground into by Yichen. Now, he was squeezing it with all his might. Before she died, she would likely be left disabled. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

Just as Mu Wanxing was about to faint, Yichen finally let go of her, turned around, and slammed the door on his way out.

In the car, a call came through. Yichen answered, "…Can't find any information on that person… How is that possible… Not even a name… Then start with Mu Wanxing's social circle… Have someone follow her…"

After finishing the call, he drove off.

"Oasis International Hotel. Yichen, what brings you here? I thought you went home… You don't look well, what's wrong?" Kin Qier exclaimed, delighted to see Yichen but concerned as she noticed his expression.

"I went back to ask Mu Wanxing who that man was, and she refused to tell me," Yichen replied, his voice laced with anger.

Qier's eyes flickered with emotion. "Maybe she's afraid you'll cause trouble for him…"

Her words only fueled Yichen's anger further. His face darkened as he gritted his teeth, "Once I find out who he is, I'll settle the score with her!"

Qier gave a sly smile, "Yichen, come on, don't be mad. Seeing you this upset breaks my heart."

Soong Yichen's expression finally softened as he leaned in to kiss Kin Qier, and the two of them tumbled onto the bed.

"Bruised right hand, dislocated thumb and pinky. How did this happen?"

At the hospital, the doctor examined Mu Wanxing's CT scan, looking at her with curiosity.

After enduring the pain for two days, Mu Wanxing finally couldn't take it anymore and went to the hospital. She lowered her head slightly. "I accidentally fell."

The disbelief was clear on the doctor's face. "You'll need a cast to stabilize it. During this time, don't put any strain on this hand..."

"Got it, doctor." Mu Wanxing, holding a bag of medication in her left hand, walked out of the hospital.

Her phone rang. Awkwardly, she unzipped her bag with her left hand and pulled out her phone. Seeing the caller ID, her eyes welled up. "Ann?"

"Busy, huh? Took you long enough to answer," Ann Ling teased from the other end.

Mu Wanxing pressed her lips together. "Yeah."

"I just got back. When are you free to hang out?" Ann Ling asked, her tone inviting.

Mu Wanxing hesitated, looking at her bandaged hand. She didn't want her friend to see her in this state. It was a bit embarrassing to admit her troubles.

Finally, she said, "I'm out right now. How about we meet at the café later?"

It was a good opportunity to pick up her dry-cleaned clothes and return them to that man at the café, avoiding any more drama with Soong Yichen when he got back.

"Wanxing, over here."

At South Dream Café, Mu Wanxing had just walked in when Ann Ling waved her over. Ann was sitting by the window, her smile carefree and full of life—the kind of person Mu Wanxing admired. Wanxing tried to lift her spirits and approached with a smile.

"Men's clothes? Are they for Soong Yichen?" Ann Ling immediately noticed the clothes Wanxing was holding.

Wanxing's expression froze. "No."

Ann Ling glanced at Wanxing, then noticed her bandaged hand. "What happened to your hand?"

A server came by, and Wanxing ordered coffee for both of them before explaining, "I got into a fight with Soong Yichen..."

She briefly recounted the incident.

"Soong Yichen is abusive? Wait, you two are married... Who's this Kin Qier?" Ann looked puzzled.

Wanxing was equally confused by her question. Her "wedding crash" had made the news, and everyone on Cloud Island knew about it. Ann, being a travel experience officer, had taken on an overseas assignment recently. Even though Wanxing hadn't specifically told her, Ann should have been able to catch up on local news online.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ann was even more baffled.

To save herself the trouble of explaining, Wanxing searched for the old news on her phone, only to be surprised. "Why is there nothing there anymore?"

Kin Qier deliberately bought negative press for her, and if no one actively manages it, it can be found for a long time.

"Soong Yichen has had a change of heart and wants to marry Kin Qier, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Then, I..." Mu Wanxing briefly explained the situation.

"Kin Qier must have put a spell on Soong Yichen, otherwise, why would he act like this? How could you even think about donating your heart to a woman like her? Are you willing to give up everything for Soong Yichen, even your life..." Ann Ling was so agitated she wanted to curse.

"Soong Yichen laid a hand on a woman, and he hurt you so badly. I’m going to find him and teach him a lesson!"
