I looked at the screen and saw "Wei-Bao" calling.
My heart stung sharply again.
Fu Hanyi had saved my phone number directly as "Wen Yuan."
When I discovered this, I was unhappy and asked him to change the nickname: "Hanyi, why don't you save it as 'Wife,' 'Baby,' 'Darling,' or some other intimate term? Your name is too cold."
But Fu Hanyi replied: "I use your real name for safety. You don't know about internet scams nowadays—they specifically target contacts with special nicknames. You shouldn't save my name as 'Husband' or anything else that reveals our relationship either. Beware of being swindled."
At the time, I was naive enough to believe he was truly looking out for me.
Only now do I understand: for someone a man does not love, he is even stingy with a nickname.
"Hello." Fu Hanyi answered the phone. Though it was just one word, his tone was exceptionally tender. "...You're not feeling well... Alright... I'll be there right away."
Fu Hanyi hung up, stood up, and said, "Xinwei isn't feeling well. I'm going to go keep her company. You guys take your time."
Ignoring the attempts of the men at the table to make him stay, he left quite decisively.
"I didn't expect Brother Yi to be so concerned about Liang Xinwei."
"Of course. Brother Yi spent two hundred million to buy that diamond ring to propose to her. Who would spend that kind of foolish money if they didn't care? Have you ever seen him spend a dime on Wen Yuan? Not only did he not spend a cent on her, but he even let that woman foolishly earn money for him."
"Come to think of it, that woman has been played quite miserably. Back on the cruise ship, she was mocked until her face turned pale." As the man said this, he rested a hand on the shoulder of the man who wanted to mess with me, laughing lewdly. "Wu Yuan, when you get your hands on her, be generous."
The man named Wu Yuan gave a disdainful laugh: "A toy meant to be played with for free, she’s worth at most a meal."
"Don't say that. After all, she was our Big Brother's woman. She's your sister-in-law..."
Hahaha.
My soul drifted to Fu Hanyi's side amidst the disgusting jeers of those men.
He was speeding to get to Liang Xinwei.
I sat in the passenger seat and turned my head to look at him.
He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. His features were peerless; from any angle, he looked perfect.
Handsome from every direction.
Yet such a beautiful man possessed a cold, heartless soul.
A surge of sorrow welled up in my heart.
I had never enjoyed the luxury of him arriving the moment I called.
Whenever I wanted to see him, he would say he was out driving or sleeping after a night shift. He only came to see me when he had spare time.
But one phone call from Liang Xinwei made him abandon his friends and leave.
Once, there were so many details proving he didn't love me, yet I failed to see them. I lightly trusted the "love" he spoke of and sank deeply into his trap.
Liang Xinwei was in the hotel.
She was wearing a black camisole nightgown, half of her breasts exposed. This appearance clearly showed she intended to have a passionate night with Fu Hanyi. No wonder they opened a room outside; it was so they could be unrestrained.
The fabric of the nightgown was translucent, her graceful figure faintly visible, mysterious and tempting.
Her body was truly provocative.
The moment Fu Hanyi saw Liang Xinwei, his throat moved slightly.
He walked over and gently lifted her chin, his eyes swirling with lust. "You have a stomachache, yet you're wearing a neckline this low?"
Liang Xinwei put on a coquettish look and hugged him. On the middle finger of her left hand, she wore the engagement ring Fu Hanyi had spent two hundred million to purchase. The massive diamond cut through the air with a brilliant light, piercing painfully into my eyes.
I had always thought I was Fu Hanyi's legitimate girlfriend; turns out I was nothing more than a plaything for his amusement.
He had casually woven a ring out of foxtail grass and put it on my middle finger, stealing my heart away. I had worked several jobs a day, even selling my blood, just to scrape together one hundred thousand for his medical bills.
In the end, he spent two hundred million on a diamond ring for someone else without blinking an eye.
He held Liang Xinwei up to the clouds and trampled me into the mud!
Liang Xinwei leaned against his chest, frail and helpless like a little white rabbit. She teased, "Hanyi, you said we would be together after the engagement. But it's been three days and you haven't made a move, so I had to take the initiative to find you."
As she spoke, she looked up, gazing at him with deep affection, her face shy. "Hanyi, I want to give myself to you tonight."
I was stunned.
I was very surprised that Fu Hanyi hadn't slept with her yet!
A faint rose scent drifted through the air, and wisps of smoke curled from an aroma diffuser nearby.
It was rose essential oil, said to be an aphrodisiac.
Seeing such a sexy woman, Fu Hanyi was clearly aroused. He lowered his head and captured her earlobe, sucking on it lingeringly.
Liang Xinwei immediately let out a soft moan.
My heart ached.
This was Fu Hanyi's most practiced flirting technique. When we were together, he also loved to suck on my earlobe. That tender, damp sensation would quickly make me excited.
He once said my earlobes were fleshy and felt great to kiss.
But now, he was kissing another woman's earlobe, completely lost in it.
Liang Xinwei quickly melted into a puddle of water under his tenderness. Even before they reached the main event, she was already letting out sweet, breathless cries that made one's blood boil.
Fu Hanyi picked her up, ready to head to the large bed, but his phone rang.
He paused for a moment.
Liang Xinwei immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, taking the initiative to kiss his lips. "Yiting, I want you..."
Her voice was seductive, but Fu Hanyi still set her down, kissing her cheek by way of compensation. "Let me answer the phone first."
He saw a short text notification on the screen indicating it was a call from the police station.
Fu Hanyi picked up the phone and walked to the window to answer. "Hello."
"May I ask if this is Mr. Fu Hanyi?"
"Speaking."
"Hello, Mr. Fu. This is the Qinggang Lane Police Station." Facing a high-profile figure, the officer’s tone was very polite. "I apologize for disturbing you late at night, but there is a small matter, and we would like to trouble you to come to the station."
The police station.
Fu Hanyi, having had his good time interrupted, looked cold. "What do you have to ask?"
The officer receiving him first handed him a cup of tea before speaking in a courteous voice: "Mr. Fu, it is like this. Recently, our station received a missing persons report.
The missing person's name is Wen Yuan. We found her mobile phone near Qingshui Bay. The last call Wen Yuan made was to you, Mr. Fu..."
"I think my assistant should have already explained this clearly to you," Fu Hanyi coldly interrupted. "Why call me here?"
The officer quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Fu. At the time, Assistant Zhou did explain it to us. However, we have just recovered the data from Wen Yuan's phone, and in her photo gallery, we found a picture of you and Wen Yuan together.
This should prove that you and Wen Yuan are acquainted..."
"What kind of photo?" Fu Hanyi interrupted the officer again, his tone exceptionally cold. "Is it a bedroom photo?"
