"In your dreams!"
Shen Yuanyuan glared at me angrily. Then, he raised his hand and slapped me. I was so scared that I closed my eyes.
"Shen Yuanyuan, let go of her!"
"Pak!"
Just then, there was a roar from the corridor.
It was Fang Yin.
Then, I fell into his broad embrace.
Fang Yin raised his hand and held my face carefully. His eyes were filled with heartache. "I'm sorry. I just left for a while and I made you suffer."
From his pupils, I could see my messy hair and I looked extremely pathetic. My eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"A Yin, you … You hit me?"
Shen Yuanyuan's voice interrupted my thoughts. I took a step back and distanced myself from Fang Yin. Then, I turned to look at her.
She was holding her swollen face and looking at Fang Yin in disbelief. There was a lot of hair stuck to her body. They had been pulled off my scalp during the earlier shove.
Fang Yin obviously saw it too. He raised his hand and combed my hair gently. More hair was pulled off his face. His face was so gloomy that it looked as if it could drip water.
He held the hair in his hand tightly and glared at Shen Yuanyuan coldly. "If you dare to hurt my wife again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Shen Yuanyuan shivered in fear at the coldness in his eyes. Her legs went soft and she sat on the ground.
"A Yin, how could you do this to me? We grew up together. Have you forgotten?"
Fang Yin humphed coldly. He didn't even look at Shen Yuanyuan. Then, he hugged me and left.
"A Yin, A Yin, don't go."
Hearing Shen Yuanyuan's sorrowful cries, I couldn't help but turn to look. Coincidentally, I met her gaze that was filled with hatred. My body shivered and my limbs went cold.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Fang Yin's voice, I quickly retracted my gaze and shook my head. "Nothing."
However, I had an insecure feeling in my heart. It was as if a venomous snake was eyeing me.
…
For the next few days, Fang Yin went to the hospital to take care of his grandpa. He didn't come home until late at night. I didn't talk to him at all.
After Grandpa Fang recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he would take him to Grandpa Fang's home to apologize and cancel the engagement between the two families.
At night, when Fang Yin came back, she hugged me and whispered in my ear, "That's great! My engagement with Shen Yuanyuan has been canceled. Grandpa won't force me to marry her anymore."
"Yes."
I didn't look happy because I knew Mr. Fang and his wife didn't like me. Even if they didn't force us to divorce, they wouldn't accept me.
When Fang Yin sensed my low mood, he let me go. He stooped to look into my eyes. "Don't worry. Even if my grandparents don't like you, you're still Fang Yin's wife. This won't change. I promise you."
At that moment, I saw the sincerity and promise in his eyes. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. I answered him and ran back to my room.
I was afraid that I would believe in his promise. It was just like how I had believed in Ling Feng three years ago. However, I was hurt all over.
I was scared. I didn't dare to believe in those illusory promises and fickle men anymore.
My life returned to normal. Every day, the confinement nanny urged me to drink all kinds of nourishing soups. My body became plump, and my belly grew like a balloon. I couldn't sleep well at night, and I sometimes got cramps.
