Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining handed Fu Jiayu over to Ji Shu.

"Shushu, could you look after him for a while? I'll be right back."

Ji Shu nodded immediately and skillfully pulled Fu Jiayu into her arms.

"Don't worry, just let me know if anything happens, I'll take care of it."

As she spoke, she pinched Fu Jiayu's cheek.

"And you brat, I haven't disciplined you in a while. Today I'll check your homework properly, no slacking off allowed."

Fu Jiayu's face immediately fell, and he clung tightly to Jiang Yining's clothes.

"Mommy, save me! Aunt Ji Shu is terrifying!"

Jiang Yining concealed the faint warmth in her eyes, and without lingering, turned and walked outside.

Fu Huaiyan followed closely behind.

The two walked out of the house side by side.

They remained silent the entire way.

The air was so quiet it felt almost stagnant.

Before they knew it, the two had reached the hillside overlooking the sea.

Here, the view is expansive, with the vast blue sea stretching to the horizon.

A gentle sea breeze was blowing.

The wind dispelled some of the gloom.

Jiang Yining stopped.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice.

"You used to love coming here to watch the sunrise."

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"So you still remember."

Fu Huaiyan's Adam's apple bobbed twice, his usual cold and domineering demeanor fading, replaced by a rare air of awkwardness.

"This place has always been beautiful."

Jiang Yining turned her head and looked directly into his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright.

Fu Huaiyan felt a slight tightness in his heart as she stared at him, and subconsciously looked away, his tone slightly unnatural.

Is there something on my face?

"Don't play dumb."

Jiang Yining chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Fu Huaiyan, now that things have come to this, there's no need for us to speculate or cover things up for each other."

"It's just the two of us here, so let's get straight to the point."

"Are there any conspiracies I'm unaware of, or unresolved matters?"

Fu Huaiyan's eyes flickered slightly.

For the first time, a clear look of panic appeared in those usually calm and collected eyes.

After a moment, he whispered.

"It's nothing serious, I can handle it myself, you don't need to worry about it."

Jiang Yining gazed at Fu Huaiyan in quiet contemplation.

After a long pause, she indifferently withdrew her gaze, her tone distant.

"Since you won't tell me, there's nothing to talk about. Go back."

Fu Huaiyan's body suddenly stiffened.

His thin lips parted as if he wanted to explain.

But he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Just then, a roar rang out.

"Jiang Yining! You bitch!"

"You ruined everything I had! You took everything I had! I want you dead!"

Not far away, Shen Miaoyin was disheveled, her eyes bloodshot.

Holding a sharp dagger, she charged straight at Jiang Yining like a madwoman.

Swift and fierce, with a chilling aura.

The movement happened in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Yining had no time to react.

The only option is to instinctively dodge to the side and minimize the damage.

The blade grazed her shoulder, sending a chill down her spine.

At the critical moment, Fu Huaiyan suddenly rushed in front of him.

His expression was extremely cold and stern. He stretched out his long arm, precisely wrapped his arms around Jiang Yining's waist, and pulled her firmly into his embrace.

Use the momentum to spin around and avoid the blade.

The next instant, he swept his long leg across with tremendous force.

He kicked Shen Miaoyin hard in the lower abdomen.

Shen Miaoyin was kicked and sent flying, the short knife in her hand falling to the ground.

She fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her whole body aching, but she paid no heed to her injuries, staring intently at the two people embracing each other.

"Fu Huaiyan!"

Her voice was hoarse, and every word she spoke was filled with anguish.

"What kind of spell did she cast on you? I was the one who saved you back then!"

"We used to be so close! Did you abandon me because you think I'm sick, or a burden?"

Fu Huaiyan held Jiang Yining tightly in his arms.

There was an unyielding ice in his eyes.

"Shen Miaoyin, you know in your heart whether you saved me or not."

"I made it clear back then that I helped you only because you saved my life."

"I have never had any other feelings for you."

These words shattered Shen Miaoyin's reason.

She collapsed to the ground, completely emotionally broken.

"No! You're lying! It's all fake!"

"It must be that bitch Jiang Yining! She bewitched you! She ruined us!"

Jiang Yining leaned against Fu Huaiyan's chest, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She hadn't expected Fu Huaiyan to be so ruthless.

"Jiang Yining, you and your mother both deserve to die!"

"You're all shameless sluts, you just seduce men!"

The language became increasingly vulgar.

Jiang Yining's eyes suddenly turned frosty, and she retorted in a cold voice.

"Shen Miaoyin, you have committed many evils, harming others and yourself. You deserve your current fate."

"Your retribution is the fruit of your own actions; you deserve it!"

"Serves him right?"

Shen Miaoyin laughed maniacally, her laughter filled with despair and rage.

"I have nothing left, and you won't get away unscathed either!"

"Jiang Yining, what I can't have, you don't deserve either!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Huaiyan held Jiang Yining even tighter.

He stood firmly in front of her.

His aura was cold and intimidating.

Upon seeing this, Shen Miaoyin's eyes flashed with extreme ruthlessness, and she let out a cold laugh.

"I dared to come alone, so I never intended to leave alive!"

In an instant, dozens of bodyguards in black rushed out from all sides.

A crisis looms.

Jiang Yining's expression changed slightly.

Fu Huaiyan immediately lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid, leave it to me."

"You go first, my men will be there soon."

Before Jiang Yining could respond, he released his grip and stepped forward to meet the group of men in black.

His punches were fierce, and his movements were swift.

Fu Huaiyan's every move was precise and ruthless.

They managed to carve out a gap in the encirclement.

Some people tried to flank Jiang Yining from behind, but he swiftly turned around and thwarted their attacks.

"Walk!"

Fu Huaiyan growled in a deep voice, pushing Jiang Yining away half a step again.

Jiang Yining knew that staying would only be a burden to Fu Huaiyan.

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and was about to go down the slope to find someone to help her.

But before he could even take a step, Shen Miaoyin pounced on him.

She picked up the dagger from the ground at some point and blocked her way again.

His eyes were filled with a resolute determination to perish together with the enemy.

"Jiang Yining, you can't escape! No one can save you today!"

As the blade came straight at him, Jiang Yining quickly focused his attention to deal with it.

He deftly sidestepped to avoid the sharp edge.

Fortunately, she has gotten used to working out over the years and has also practiced self-defense.

Although Shen Miaoyin is fearless, she can't be harmed for the time being.

After several attempts, Jiang Yining seized the opportunity to grab Shen Miaoyin's wrist.

Knock the dagger out of her hand.

Soon, Shen Miaoyin's strength gave out, and she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, retreating step by step.

On the other side, Fu Huaiyan had already defeated most of the bodyguards.

Shen Miaoyin's eyes turned bloodshot, and she suddenly turned her head and roared.

"Aren't you going to come out yet?!"

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat.

A sense of panic washed over me.

The next second, a masked man in black rushed out.

The opponent was incredibly fast, wielding a short blade that gleamed coldly.

He stabbed Jiang Yining straight in the heart.

His moves were ruthless and deadly.

The speed was too fast and the distance too close; Jiang Yining had no time to dodge.

The icy blade sent chills down her spine, making her heart sink to the bottom.

It's that same person again!

Am I really going to die here today?

Just as the blade was about to reach him, a strong and warm embrace appeared in front of him.

He pulled her into his arms.

A deep, gentle voice sounded from above, close to my ear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
