Chapter 547: Chapter 545: Immense Regret and Pain

Xia Yiwan looked at the scene not far away where Yanxi anxiously pulled Shi Ying into his embrace, and her heart, which she thought was still as dead water, suddenly spread with a stabbing pain like being pricked by needles.

After the accident, she had been in a coma for three years, and had only been awake for a little over a year.

Actually, for her, it had been just a little over a year since she parted ways with Yanxi.

Those deep-seated injuries, they still lingered in her very bones!

After all, he was a man she once deeply loved, and it was unlikely that she could completely remove him from the bottom of her heart in just over a year.

These days, she had been sealing her own heart, not letting herself think about those things.

But that didn’t mean she had absolutely no feelings for him anymore.

And it was the remnants of those feelings that, upon seeing the scene before her, were transformed into a suffocating pain.

After the pain, there was only cold sneering and mockery left.

Yanxi pulled Shi Ying onto the terrace, and the onlookers mentioned that another woman had also fallen into the sea; he quickly looked towards the sea.

Xia Yiwan had already climbed up the yacht.

On her pretty face, there was a coldness like ice shards.

Feeling her icy gaze, Yanxi had the sensation of plunging into an abyss.

“Wanwan, I didn’t realize you had also fallen.”

Xia Yiwan wiped the seawater from her face, showing no expression on her pretty face as she coldly looked at Yanxi, “If you had known, would you have rescued me first?”

Yanxi pressed his thin lips together, just about to answer, when Xia Yiwan spoke again with a cold voice, “Yanxi, isn’t Sister Shi Ying able to swim? Why then, when she just fell into the sea, did she flail around like a duck?”

Once Xia Yiwan spoke, both Shi Ying and Yanxi’s faces changed drastically.

Shi Ying coughed a few times, her voice hoarse as she tried to defend herself, “After saving Yanxi that year, something else happened that made me afraid of swimming. I used to be able to swim…”

Xia Yiwan coldly interrupted Shi Ying before she could finish, “Enough of your fabrications. The person who saved Yanxi that day wasn’t you at all, it was me!”

Xia Yiwan took out a button and handed it to Yanxi, “Take a close look, isn’t this from the clothes you wore when you fell into the water that year?”

Yanxi took the button from Xia Yiwan, his peach blossom eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

“Could it be…” Yanxi looked up, the rims of his eyes turning crimson as he stared at Xia Yiwan, “the person who saved me back then was you?”

Xia Yiwan hooked the corner of her lips, “Yes, it was me!”

“No, it wasn’t her!” Shi Ying stood up from the ground, grabbed Yanxi’s hand, and began to explain frantically, “Yanxi, Xia Yiwan is deliberately trying to stir up trouble between us, don’t believe her…”

Yanxi sharply shook off Shi Ying’s hand, his tall figure swaying unsteadily.

His peach blossom eyes stared intently at Shi Ying, “Alright then, tell me, where did you save me?”

Shi Ying’s gaze darted around, “It’s been too long, I don’t remember clearly.”

Yanxi then looked at Xia Yiwan, “Do you remember?”

“Of course I do, you fell into a river behind Li City’s Yu Mountain,” Xia Yiwan said.

Shi Ying nodded, “Yes, yes, that’s the place.”

Xia Yiwan’s scoffing sneer deepened, “Behind Yu Mountain there’s no river at all. The place where Yanxi really fell into the water is the river at Quanshan Town.”

“You can’t even distinguish between Yu Mountain and Quanshan; how did you manage to save him?”

Shi Ying’s mind buzzed to a blank.

She had fallen for Xia Yiwan’s trap!

As she tried to make more excuses, Yanxi’s long hand had already reached out towards her neck.

“So, it has always been you who’s been deceiving me!” The rage in Yanxi’s eyes surged like tidal waves, crimson and furious.

Shi Ying kept shaking her head, “No, it’s not like that, Yanxi, listen to my explanation!”

“What’s left to explain?” Xia Yiwan produced a report, “If you were really Yanxi’s lifesaver, how could you have tampered with the cigarettes he smoked?”

Yanxi saw the report handed to him by Xia Yiwan, which recorded the components of the smoke.

Poppy!

When he saw those two words, disbelief filled Yanxi’s eyes.

“Yanxi, don’t believe what Xia Yiwan says–” This time, Shi Ying truly panicked; she hadn’t expected that Xia Yiwan would actually look into the matter of the smoke.

Yanxi’s chest heaved violently, and he glared at Shi Ying with sockets flaming red, his whole body exuding a terrifying aura.

Slap!

He raised his hand and fiercely slapped Shi Ying across the face.

What pure and untainted fairy; in his eyes, at this moment, Shi Ying looked like a devil with bared fangs and brandished claws!

Shi Ying fell to the ground with the slap from Yanxi.

Her pale face immediately swelled up red.

A burning pain spread across her face, and she lifted her hand to cover her sore and swollen cheek, looking up at Yanxi in uncontrollable fury with a thin mist of tears forming in her eyes, “Yanxi, after so many years of knowing each other, do I really have no credibility in your heart? Xia Yiwan came back this time just to drive a wedge between us, don’t believe her!”

Yanxi’s thin lips quivered, “Regarding the smoke, I’ve had it sent for testing, and we’re about to get the results. Are you still going to stubbornly deny it?”

“From beginning to end, the one who has deceived me has been you!”

Shi Ying’s whole body began to tremble.

She walked up to Yanxi, wanting to grab his hand, but before she could touch him, he kicked her away.

Shi Ying curled up on the floor, tears falling as she writhed in pain.

Yanxi, when cold-blooded, was someone Shi Ying had seen before.

“I won’t deceive you anymore, let’s live a good life together, and besides, you can’t live without me, can you?”

Shi Ying’s voice was very soft, like a devil’s whisper making Yanxi’s temples pulse violently; he held his head with both hands, his face contorted.

Just as Yanxi’s emotions were about to spiral out of control, Ming Yao hurried over.

She took out a Silver Needle and directly pierced Yanxi’s temple with it.

Yanxi wobbled unsteadily, and Ming Yao and Xia Yiwan helped him to sit down on a chair.

Seeing this, Shi Ying thought of taking the opportunity to flee, but a tall figure quickly stepped forward and forcefully pinned her down.

Zhou Hengnian pulled out a rope and tied up both Shi Ying’s hands and feet.

“Let me go! What right do you have to tie me up?”

It took a while for Yanxi to alleviate the throbbing pain in his head.

He made a call to summon his men.

With bloodshot peach blossom eyes, he glanced at the disheveled Shi Ying, “Take her away and interrogate her thoroughly. We must find out who sent her to do all this!”

As long as Yanxi was lucid, he was still intelligent and wise.

There must be a hidden hand behind Shi Ying, manipulating all of this!

After Shi Ying was taken away, Yanxi’s pupils shrank as he looked towards Xia Yiwan.

With trembling thin lips, he began, “Wanwan, I have wronged you. I thought the one who saved me as a child was Shi Ying, I didn’t realize it was you…”

Learning this truth, he felt an overwhelming pain and discomfort in his chest as if suffocating.

The person he had always regarded as a benefactor was the one who had been scheming against him all along.

And his former wife, whom he had ignored, hurt, and neglected, was his true lifesaver!
