Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

After being punched, Xie Jingyao got up and fought back without hesitation.

He grabbed Lin Tinghan by the collar, slammed him against the wall, and then threw a punch.

Due to health reasons, Lin Tinghan was unable to exercise for extended periods, so his physical fitness was naturally inferior to Xie Jingyao's.

After several rounds, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

Si Nian snapped out of her daze and hurried forward amidst the cacophony of voices.

She rushed forward and hugged Xie Jingyao's arm tightly, saying to him, "Stop...don't hit me!"

Xie Jingyao forcefully pulled back his outstretched hand, but Si Nian was still knocked back by the force.

Xie Jingyao grabbed his waist and supported her.

After withdrawing his cold gaze from Lin Tinghan, he looked at Si Nian and said, "I know what I'm doing. If I kill him, he'll have to pay with his life."

Lin Tinghan stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Xie Jingyao with equally cold eyes.

If looks could turn into knives, they would probably have stabbed Xie Jingyao countless times by now.

After releasing Xie Jingyao's arm, Si Nian frowned and walked towards Lin Tinghan, asking him, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Lin Tinghan chuckled lightly. He ignored Si Nian and instead said to Xie Jingyao with a double meaning, "I underestimated you."

Xie Jingyao flexed his wrists, looking like he couldn't be bothered with Lin Tinghan, and turned his head to look at Si Nian.

But Lin Tinghan spoke first, "Wife, what exactly happened just now? I believe you wouldn't cheat on me. Xie Jingyao forced you, didn't he?"

Lin Tinghan suppressed his anger and took Si Nian's hand.

He secretly squeezed Si Nian's hand harder.

He looked at her with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Si Nian's heart pounded violently.

Lin Tinghan continued, "I believe you are innocent. You are about to go abroad for a competition, which is so important to you. It would be such a pity if external factors affected your performance."

Si Nian's face was tense. After finally finding her voice, she said hoarsely, "Someone tried to take advantage of me just now, but Xie Jingyao saved me."

"Save you?" Lin Tinghan suddenly tightened his grip, gritting his teeth as he pressed closer to Si Nian. "Niannian, tell me again, what exactly happened just now?"

"I said... Xie Jingyao saved me."

Lin Tinghan's pupils contracted sharply.

Those around them gasped in surprise.

At the same time, they couldn't help but look at Lin Tinghan with a bit of sympathy, as if they could already see that the cuckoldry had been completely confirmed by him.

What kind of relationship could lead someone to risk stabbing another person to the point of life or death just to save him?

And this Mr. Lin seems to be a devoted lover as well.

A normal man, upon seeing his wife being held in another man's arms, would not, regardless of whether he would immediately fly into a rage, instinctively try to find excuses for his wife, hoping she would admit that she was forced into it.

As a result, everyone felt even more that Lin Tinghan was truly head over heels in love with Si Nian.

On the contrary, this young mistress of the Lin family is too dishonest. She is not a good match for the Lin family. After marrying into the Lin family, she not only does not appreciate it, but also has illicit affairs with other men.

Lin Tinghan didn't want to hear Si Nian's answer; he wanted to subtly suggest that Si Nian change her mind.

But the police and ambulances arrived at that moment.

Police quickly cordoned off the scene and took control of Si Nian and Xie Jingyao, who were covered in blood.

As a police officer was handcuffing Si Nian, Xie Jingyao spoke first, saying, "I stabbed her, it has nothing to do with her."

The police officer looked Xie Jingyao up and down suspiciously: "What's your relationship with the victim? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"He cheated on my girlfriend, and I hit him to protect her."

The police officer pointed to Si Nian and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"

Xie Jingyao nodded.

Lin Tinghan chimed in from the side, "She's my wife!"

As soon as Lin Tinghan finished speaking, the police officer was stunned.

How come this woman is someone's girlfriend and someone's wife at the same time?

Lin Tinghan stood in front of Si Nian and said to the police, "Officer, the person on the ground was injured by Xie Jingyao."

Si Nian's voice trembled as she said urgently, "I stabbed the person, but I did it in self-defense..."

Upon hearing this, the police waved their hand, ordering Si Nian and Xie Jingyao to be taken away together, and then cordoned off the scene.

Si Nian's legs were weak, and she staggered with every step. Xie Jingyao said to her from the side, "Don't be afraid, Nian Nian, that person deserved it."

The two were quickly separated and escorted away by the police.

As soon as they stepped out of the building, countless media outlets, carrying cameras with long lenses and short lenses, began snapping photos and videos of Xie Jingyao and Si Nian.

Numerous media outlets were present at Lairui Technology's press conference.

They originally came here to wait for the latest news about Lairui Technology's cooperation, but they never expected to stumble upon such a big scoop.

After Si Nian and Xie Jingyao were taken away.

Lin Tinghan slowly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the media with a sorrowful expression.
