Chapter 186 2 Don’t owe each other
After Fu Baili's furious shout, the entire infirmary fell silent.
The heavy atmosphere had transformed into an eerie one, and everyone was frozen in place, like a stone.
Dr. Qi was the only calm bystander. He walked calmly to the door and gently closed it to prevent such a national-level event from being leaked.
After Fu Baili shouted out his innermost thoughts, he felt relieved, but the strange expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him made him swallow hard.
Yan San was stunned, but Xi Yu was shocked and filled with intense anger.
Such a stark contrast in emotions made even Fu Baili realize that something terrible was about to happen!
Suddenly, Yan San grabbed his collar, pulled him close, and asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
Fu Baili nodded helplessly.
In a flash, a slender hand reached out from the side, forcefully snatched Fu Baili's collar, and pulled him sharply in front of her. Fu Baili staggered a couple of steps, looking quite disheveled.
"The person I'm engaged to isn't you, it's him?" Xi Yu's voice was so cold it could freeze a person.
Fu Baili nodded again, feeling utterly hopeless.
"Please spare me, all of you..." he cried, tears streaming down his face.
Xi Yu kept her eyes tightly closed, gave a cold laugh, and slowly released Fu Baili's collar.
She admitted that she had feelings for Yan San that were different from those she had for others. This change did not happen overnight. In her interactions with Yan San, she had indeed unconsciously developed a little affection for him.
But this goodwill is actually very fragile, so fragile that it can be snapped with the slightest touch!
The inexplicable marriage certificate that had troubled her for countless days and nights, and the fact that she had been casually given the title of wife by someone else, infuriated her. She especially despised this cowardly behavior, which didn't even dare to put her name on the marriage certificate, and felt it showed a complete lack of respect for her!
She couldn't think of any reason to forgive.
Xi Yu's increasingly cold eyes immediately snapped Yan San out of his overwhelming joy.
“I can explain…” he said quickly, regaining his composure.
What he considered an arrangement of fate was, in the other person's eyes, a blatant deception, one from which he couldn't deny it. Although the marriage was Fu Baili's idea, it was he who readily agreed!
“No need.” Xi Yu coldly refused. She looked at Fu Baili and held out her hand to him: “Give me the divorce papers, I can sign them now.”
"No!!" Yan San shouted subconsciously, a hint of panic in his eyes. He knew that he absolutely could not let her leave now, otherwise there would be no future between them!
Xi Yu sneered: "Aren't you the one who wants to annul the engagement? Ten million in compensation? I've already accepted it. We're both here anyway, so we can settle this now without wasting time. You take back the marriage certificate, I'll take the compensation, and we'll be even!"
Her cold words made Yan San feel terrible, but he couldn't refute them. Everything she said was his decision! If he could go back to the past, the first thing he would do was strangle his past self!
"Give me the divorce papers, or I'll take them myself!" Xi Yu said coldly as she reached out her hand again.
Fu Baili frowned and said helplessly, "Giving it to you is useless... That divorce certificate will only be effective if Yan San submits it in person!"
Not everyone can have the privileges of a marshal!
Only Yan San can make the divorce decree effective now; otherwise, Xi Yu will have to wait until a full year of marriage before she can file for divorce.
Moreover, even if Yan San, as a marshal, were to force a divorce within a year, he would have to pay a considerable price and would leave behind a record that would be criticized.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he didn't care about anything else.
