Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 680 - 430 Extra - Chanel Fashion (2)
Tang Baijin did not pursue her, he simply stood up, his tall and robust silhouette in the night took on a tint of injury, making him appear even more vivid in the darkness.
"What do you think I would do?" Tang Baijin said coldly.
What would he do? Tian Xin really couldn’t tell, except that the day she married Yang Junyi in a haze, he was practically seething with rage, no matter how much she pleaded, he would not let her go. Was he going to repeat that day’s events?
Anyway, she had every reason to believe that he wouldn’t kill her!
So, Tian Xin immediately turned around and ran. She really couldn’t have any intimate relationship with him before she had sorted things out with Yang Junyi, that would be unfair to Tang Baijin too.
Tian Xin went downstairs, grabbed her handbag, started the car, and left.
But, Tang Baijin did not pursue her, which was somewhat surprising to Tian Xin; she suddenly felt that maybe he was just trying to scare her!
After all, he had never truly done anything to harm her.
Tian Xin spent a restless night. She did not go back to her parents’ house as she did not want to be bombarded with questions, so she spent the night at her own home.
Nothing happened that night, which somewhat reassured Tian Xin.
However, she did not know that a huge storm was heading her way.
...
Hospital.
Yang Junyi woke up early, listening to the sounds of cleaners and nurses bustling about. His reputation in the hospital had been quite good. When the cleaners and nurses saw him awake, they greeted him.
"Doctor Yang, do you feel better today?"
"Much better, thank you!" Yang Junyi was always gentle and polite to everyone.
That morning, while he was waiting for Tian Xin to arrive, he instead encountered the last person he ever wanted to see, Tang Baijin.
Tang Baijin did not speak, but his presence in the room made Yang Junyi aware of who it was.
All of Yang Junyi’s waiting at that moment turned to someone else.
He suddenly felt as if he fell into an ice cellar, his chest filled with countless voices constantly roaring and raging, all because of Tang Baijin, who was the reason for his and Tian Xin’s current predicament.
"What are you here for?" Yang Junyi’s voice was icy. He didn’t have many enemies in life, except for Zhang Yulian who harmed his mother, and Tang Baijin, who was his greatest enemy.
Tang Baijin stepped forward: "I came to see if you’re really blind."
Yang Junyi clenched his fists tightly: "Even if I am blind, I will use my heart to see the world and treat Tian Xin well. What about you? Apart from taking advantage of others’ misfortune to steal Tian Xin, what else can you do?"
Tang Baijin stared at him: "I will compete with you fairly for Tian Xin."
He did not blame Yang Junyi further, having gone through a similar ordeal of losing Bei Ran, as their parents had made choices that hurt them in the name of their welfare. It was an infamous way to inflict pain, yet they were blamed for being ungrateful, twisting right and wrong, and even called unfilial sons.
With that understanding, this was why Tang Baijin came to negotiate with Yang Junyi.
Tian Xin was in a difficult position, he knew that.
He didn’t want Tian Xin to be in a difficult position, so he took the initiative, allowing the two men to confront each other face to face.
Yang Junyi did not expect Tang Baijin to speak like this, "Are you really serious?"
"A promise from a gentleman, swift as a horse whip." Tang Baijin said solemnly, "Both you and I have been good to her; she cannot bear to hurt anyone. With two men and one woman, one will inevitably be eliminated. Tian Xin is too kind; she cannot bear to hurt you when you’re ill. But, I won’t allow her to torment herself like this. Yang Junyi, if you are a man, come out and fight; don’t stay holed up in the hospital all day like a turtle hiding its head. You have been hurt by your father, and I have been hurt by my mother. I hope you stand up and fight with me, instead of throwing the problem to a woman, letting her be in a dilemma. Women should be cherished!"
At this, Yang Junyi’s fighting spirit was ignited by Tang Baijin, and he immediately accepted the challenge: "Alright!"
As Tang Baijin was preparing to leave, Tian Xin had already arrived early with soup.
When Tian Xin saw Tang Baijin arrive, she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, and she placed the soup on the table.
Upon smelling the aroma, Yang Junyi’s mood improved greatly, his face brightening with a happy smile: "Tian Xin, you’re here! I can smell it, it’s really fragrant. I feel so touched and happy..."
When someone is sick, suffering from major physical strain, even a smile from another, a comforting word, can make the sick person feel happy and content.
However, to Tang Baijin, this obviously seemed to imply that Tian Xin was good to Yang Junyi!
Tang Baijin snorted heavily: "Don’t act pitiful just because you’re sick! If you are a man, don’t be a coward, what’s the use of garnering sympathy? It just makes people look down on you!"
"Baijin!" Tian Xin didn’t expect him to speak like this, "How can you say that to Junyi?"
Tang Baijin stared at Yang Junyi: "Isn’t it true? Yang Junyi, don’t be a turtle for the rest of your life unless you admit you are one!"
"Tang Baijin!" Tian Xin called him by his full name, "Leave! What are you doing here?"
Tang Baijin criticizes someone as a turtle, doesn’t he think who is the one putting a green hat on Yang Junyi’s head?
If it wasn’t Tang Baijin’s fault on the island, then what about this time? He could have let it go, yet he let things happen, reaching a point of no return, and now, he even comes here with such arrogance to mock Yang Junyi!
Of course, Tian Xin was angry!
Tian Xin pushed Tang Baijin out the door, then she stood facing the door, back towards Yang Junyi, took several long breaths before she walked over to Yang Junyi’s side.
"Junyi, don’t take his words to heart, okay?" Tian Xin served him soup, "Today I tried a different flavor. It’s been particularly hot these past days, so I made a soup with lily bulbs, lotus seeds, and pork ribs to clear the heat and cool down."
"Thank you, Tian Xin..." Yang Junyi naturally cared about what Tang Baijin said; on the island that time, Tian Xin was the one who got hurt, Tang Baijin indirectly harmed her, this time, the direct harm was from Yang Junyi’s father, but Tang Baijin was also indirectly harming him. That green hat, just like that, placed on Yang Junyi’s head, how much humiliation and harm it is for a man? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yet, Yang Junyi also felt heartache that the one continuously getting hurt was Tian Xin, so, what else could he do for Tian Xin besides treating her with gentle love?
The person he most wanted to cherish ended up being the one most deeply hurt!
Seeing the sadness in his expression, Tian Xin comforted him: "Why speak such courteous words? As long as you get better, I’ll be happy."
Yang Junyi worried deeply, if she never gets better, could he really bring her happiness?
However, facing Tian Xin, he still nodded gently and then focused on tasting the soup she had made for him.
After leaving the hospital, Tian Xin had just driven out when Tang Baijin stopped in front of her car; naturally, she stopped. She looked at him, finally understanding what he meant last night, what he was going to do.
"What are you doing here?" Tian Xin looked at him, "Aren’t you satisfied with how miserable Junyi is? Do you still want to ridicule him? Mock him? Rub salt in his wounds, telling him how big a green hat you’ve put on him? How can you be so cruel?"
"This is a war between men, no need for you to be involved," Tang Baijin said, "If he continues to mope, will he monopolize you forever? Are you really going to be entangled with him for life? I won’t allow it! My words are cruel, but the truth is always cruel, reality is harsh, I want him to live in reality, instead of constantly escaping from it, leaving you always to take care of him! By the way, I will pick you up after work today to try on the wedding dress."
