An Act of Cowardice
"Mr. Yue, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I, Yi Xiaoyin, don't want to be forced to do something I don't want to do." Yi Xiaoyin's beautiful face was still calm, without any change in emotion, and her tone was always extremely calm, even her speaking speed remained consistent, without any change.
Ever since experiencing those things between her and Xia Tian, Yi Xiaoyin found that her state of mind had become calmer, but this calmness was relative. When facing Xia Tian, she was far from as calm as before, but when facing other people, she could treat everything with a mentality as if she was completely out of the matter. So, no matter what others said, she seemed to be able to treat herself as a bystander and not get angry at all.
Just like now, even though she knew that Cheng Zhigao showed up with an attitude of calling for an explanation, and she also knew that Yue Zhifeng was closely related to this matter, and although Yue Zhifeng's words seemed gentle, they were actually putting pressure on her, she was still not angry, because she felt there was no need to be angry at all.
Before Yue Zhifeng could speak, Yi Xiaoyin continued, "Mr. Yue, no matter whether you have misunderstood me or have other ideas, I will not treat Cheng Hao. I think I have made it clear enough now, right?"
"Miss Yi, I don't want to force you. It's just that now, some bad rumors about you have begun to appear in the capital. Although I want to help you suppress these rumors, if you don't want to see Cheng Hao's injuries, then I can't find a suitable reason to explain to you. In this way, I'm afraid that before tomorrow, everyone in the capital will think that those rumors are true." Yue Zhifeng sighed softly, looking quite helpless, "Miss Yi, I really don't want others to damage your reputation, but if you don't care about your reputation, then it's a bit difficult for me as an outsider to do anything."
Yi Xiaoyin smiled faintly: "The rumors Mr. Yue mentioned are about me and Xia Tian, right?"
"Miss Yi, I'm glad you understand." Yue Zhifeng nodded gently. "Although I know the rumors are not credible, I don't know whether others think so. So, Miss Yi, you'd better clarify it as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid others will think that you and Xia Tian really have that kind of relationship."
"Mr. Yue, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and rumors are not necessarily unreliable." Yi Xiaoyin said slowly.
Yue Zhifeng's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, but his tone was a little reluctant: "Miss Yi, you don't want to tell me that you are really Xia Tian's woman?"
"I didn't say that. It's just that I don't feel the need to clarify, because whether it's true or not, it's normal for me. I'm a normal woman, and it's normal to have a man. Even if that man is Xia Tian, it doesn't seem to be a shameful thing." Yi Xiaoyin said calmly, "As for rumors, there are always people who believe them and people who don't. Whether I clarify or not, the result will be the same. In this case, there is no need for me to clarify."
A light snort sounded, and it was Cheng Zhigao who was standing by who could no longer endure it: "Miss Yi, I see that it's not that you don't want to clarify, but you simply admit that this is the fact, right? As far as I know, Xia Tian has repeatedly called you his wife in public, and you have never refuted it once!"
"Mr. Cheng, you heard what I said just now. If you have a little bit of thinking ability, you should know that I have made it very clear that no matter what the relationship between me and Xia Tian is, it is my private matter and no one can interfere." Yi Xiaoyin's tone was still calm, but it was this calm tone that seemed to make people even more angry.
Cheng Zhigao immediately became even more angry: "Miss Yi, I really can't interfere with your private affairs, but you'd better understand that it's okay for you to want a man, but you can't just find a man casually. Xia Tian is not only the enemy of my Cheng family, but also the enemy of many people in Beijing. If you want to find someone else as a man, it has nothing to do with me, but if you find Xia Tian as a man, then it has something to do with our Cheng family!"
"Young Master Cheng, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, so go find whoever you have a grudge against. No matter whether Xia Tian and I have that kind of relationship or not, you should go find him directly if you have a grudge against him. If you are afraid of him and come to find trouble with me, I can only say that this is the behavior of a coward." Although Yi Xiaoyin's tone was still calm, it naturally sounded a bit more contemptuous and sarcastic to Cheng Zhigao's ears.
So, Cheng Zhigao flew into a rage: "Yi Xiaoyin, do you really think you are so great? If it weren't for Mr. Yue, how many people in Beijing would dump you? Do you really think you are so great, that you are the number one female doctor in Beijing, and that everyone can give you face? I tell you, if it weren't for Mr. Yue's face, you might have been sold to the underworld long ago..."
"Shut up!" An angry shout interrupted Cheng Zhigao's voice.
The one who spoke was naturally Yue Zhifeng. He looked at Cheng Zhigao with a sharp look, his anger still not gone: "Zhigao, if you talk to Miss Yi like this again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Cheng Zhigao stopped talking. It was obvious that he was still quite afraid of Yue Zhifeng.
Yue Zhifeng turned to look at Yi Xiaoyin, his tone softened again: "Miss Yi, I'm sorry, my original intention was for your own good, but it seems that Miss Yi has some misunderstandings, so I can't say much. We will leave here immediately, but before we leave, I still want to say that I hope Miss Yi can seriously consider it and it would be best if she can clearly sever her relationship with Xia Tian, otherwise, it will be really disadvantageous to you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yue. I will seriously consider it." Yi Xiaoyin still had a calm expression on her face, and then waved her hand, "Ajiu, send Mr. Yue out for me."
"Yes, Miss." Ah Jiu responded, and then said to Yue Zhifeng politely: "Mr. Yue, please."
Yue Zhifeng wanted to say something but stopped himself, then sighed softly, turned and walked towards the door.
Cheng Zhigao glanced at Yi Xiaoyin with a gloomy look in his eyes, and then he immediately followed behind Yue Zhifeng, looking like Yue Zhifeng's little follower.
The two of them quickly walked out of the gate of Yiren Pavilion, and after Jiu closed the door, he quickly returned to the pavilion.
"Miss, that Cheng Zhigao is too much!" Ah Jiu said angrily, "If Mr. Yue wasn't here, I don't know what he would say. I really want to beat him up!"
"Ajiu, do you really think that those words were what Cheng Zhigao meant?" Yi Xiaoyin said indifferently: "The two of them are just one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop."
Ajiu was stunned for a moment.
A villa.
"Okay, they're all gone, stop pretending!" Mei'er looked at Xia Tian and said unhappily.
A few minutes ago, she came here with several people from the dark group and also helped Xia Tian act out a play. Originally, the four guys from the CIA were all caught by Xia Tian, but in the end Mei'er came here to play the role of a beauty saving a hero. When she and those people from the dark group appeared, Xia Tian seemed to be tied up by the CIA people, waiting for her rescue.
Of course, although Mei'er still looks angry, she is not angry because of this acting, because this time, Xia Tian had already told her on the phone that he was not lying to her, so there was naturally no need for her to be angry.
"Mei'er, my dear wife, since you are so obedient, I will give you a reward." Xia Tian giggled, and then appeared beside Mei'er at a speed invisible to the naked eye. He reached out and held her in his arms. Then, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he took off her sunglasses even faster, and his lips almost at the same time touched Mei'er's thin cherry lips.
Mei'er, who was extremely powerful, invincible and unapproachable in front of the Dark Group's men, was still completely powerless in front of Xia Tian, so she didn't even have time to react before Xia Tian's sneak attack succeeded.
Mei'er was a little depressed. She remembered that when she first met Xia Tian, although there was some gap in strength between her and Xia Tian, it was still difficult for Xia Tian to succeed in attacking her. But now, her strength has increased several times compared to that time, while the pervert Xia Tian has become even stronger, so that although she is obviously much stronger than before, she has become weaker in front of him.
Mei'er struggled for a few times but failed to break free, so she bit Xia Tian hard. But something even more depressing happened to her. This guy was not even afraid of being bitten on the lips and kept kissing her!
Mei'er, who was angry, stepped on Xia Tian hard again, but Xia Tian still did not react. No, she immediately discovered that Xia Tian did react. The pervert had just been hugging her, but now his hands were touching her all over!
After Mei'er stepped on Xia Tian dozens of times and punched him hundreds of times, Xia Tian finally let Mei'er go: "Mei'er, my dear wife, don't move when kissing, otherwise you will hurt your mouth."
Mei'er glared at Xia Tian fiercely, snatched the sunglasses from his hand, put them on, and disappeared. She secretly swore in her heart that she would never appear in front of this pervert again.
A few minutes later.
Xiatian was wandering around the streets again, continuing to act as a mobile bait. However, this time, after wandering for half an hour, no poor fish took the bait, which made Xiatian feel a little bored.
"The idiot from the CIA has already appeared. The bomb on the princess' wife was also planted by their people. When will the idiot who placed bombs everywhere in Jianghai City show up?" Xia Tian muttered to himself. What he wanted to find most now was the guy who placed bombs everywhere in Jianghai City. As for the enemies in the capital, most of them were in the open after all, so it would be much easier for him to deal with them.
Just as Xia Tian was wondering when the fish would bite, a black Audi stopped on the side of the road not far from Xia Tian, and a man's voice came from the car at the same time: "Xia Tian, do you have time to chat?"
