Chapter 497: Chapter 533: Jealousy

"You’ve sustained injuries that’ve penetrated deep into the marrow; there’s no saving it," Xia Ziqi said.

"Really? Don’t scare me," Fang Yi responded shamelessly.

Pu-chi, Xia Ziqi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, instantly clearing the previously somber atmosphere between them.

Xia Ziqi got up, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then sat back down on Fang Yi’s lap. Extending her jade arms, she wrapped them around Fang Yi’s neck and said, "I think I still need to explain things clearly to you."

Fang Yi nodded solemnly.

Xia Ziqi said, "Actually, when I married Cai Cai’s father, I was deceived by him, and you know what happened after that. Before that, I was also a rich girl, the youngest child of the Xia family’s generation. My elder brother is now the head of the Xia Family, and he is already over forty years old, so my situation is somewhat special."

"At that time, when I left Tianjing, I actually eloped with Liu Zhe. After giving birth to the child, I thought my family couldn’t find me, but in reality, I think they didn’t want the scandal to spread, so they didn’t come looking for me anymore—it was as if they disowned me. Later, when I met you, I managed to forget all these incidents, but just a few days ago, Zhou Wei came, saying that..."

Xia Ziqi paused slightly, glanced at Fang Yi’s expression, and noticed the gentle smile on his face.

"Go on, I have a strong mental fortitude," Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Mm," Xia Ziqi bit her lip, a flash of anger in her eyes, "That Zhou Wei actually wants to marry me, saying it’s my family’s wish. My elder brother, the Xia Family head, actually agreed to this."

"How did you respond?" Fang Yi asked calmly, without any anger or annoyance.

"I... I naturally refused."

Fang Yi nodded, his hand gently wrapping around Xia Ziqi’s slender waist, "If you’re unwilling, then don’t marry." His words were mild, yet they carried an undercurrent of firm resolution.
