Chapter 113: Yang Fei Losing Her Temper
"Jing'er... ah, no, Yang Jing." Xie Long said half a sentence, then saw Zhang Yang beside him and quickly changed the intimate address. At the same time, his legs subconsciously twitched. He had just peed himself, and it felt pretty uncomfortable inside. "It's like this, I suddenly received a call saying something happened at home, telling me to hurry back to Maple Leaf Country... so, I can only say sorry."
Then he glanced at Zhang Yang. Before the petrified Yang Jing could react, he grabbed his suitcase and walked off with a series of clicks.
"Xie Long... what's going on?" Yang Jing was stunned, took a few quick steps, and chased after him. "What happened to your family?"
"No... just that... huh?" His mind spun rapidly, thinking about how to weave a reasonable lie. Maybe there would be another chance in the future.
But then he suddenly saw Zhang Yang also following slowly behind, and his balls ached again instinctively.
After thinking about it, he directly said, "Actually, the reason I came back this time was to tell you clearly that I already have a fiancée in Maple Leaf Country, and we're getting married at the end of the year. Don't wait for me anymore, I'm really sorry!"
After saying that, he quickly dragged his suitcase and left.
Yang Jing froze on the spot, didn't chase after him or say a word, just stared blankly at Xie Long's departing figure, then slowly leaned against the wall.
After a while, she turned her head and saw Zhang Yang and Yang Fei standing behind her with equally blank looks. She forced a faint smile. "I'm fine... why are you two looking at me like that?"
Yang Fei didn't say anything, while Zhang Yang clenched his fists slightly. He could tell Yang Jing still had some feelings for Xie Long, though he couldn't tell exactly what kind.
Yang Jing slowly walked toward them, and when she got in front of Zhang Yang, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhang Yang, she asked in a very calm tone, "Zhang Yang, what did you say to him just now?"
With her intelligence, she had already realized that what Xie Long said earlier was clearly insincere. He only suddenly said such things after being with Zhang Yang for a while, so Zhang Yang must have done something to him.
Thinking about how Zhang Yang was eager for her to stay, could it be that he threatened Xie Long? But no, she knew Zhang Yang, understood him — he wasn't that kind of person.
But he definitely said something to Xie Long, and that was what she cared about now.
Zhang Yang was still lost in thought. After Xie Long disappeared from sight, the Nuwa System had rewarded him with three more points, which proved that driving away that pervert Xie Long was the right move.
[Successfully protected Yang Jing, system reward: 3 points. Your current system points are 37! Title: Promising Youth...]
Originally, he had only thirty-one points, but yesterday, when he protected Yang Fei from being hit by Bai Liangfeng's car, the system rewarded him with three points. With today's three more, he now had thirty-seven. It seemed another fifty-point milestone was coming soon.
At this moment, when Zhang Yang heard Yang Jing ask him, he subconsciously glanced at Yang Fei, then turned back to look at Yang Jing.
Yes, Yang Jing was six years older than him — a mature beauty. But because of her job as a doctor, she was actually quite reclusive, and sometimes spoke with a childlike tone. In other words, she was like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, rarely hurt by the outside world. She had already been hurt once by Xie Long. If she got hurt again, her heart might completely close off. At least for now, he felt he shouldn't tell her the truth.
Maybe after some time, once she calmed down, he could explain it to her.
After thinking it over, he finally gave up telling her the truth. Instead, he shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything to him!"
"You're lying!" Yang Jing's beautiful eyes stared straight into Zhang Yang's. "I know you — your eyes betray you."
Her tone grew harsher. She even began to think that Zhang Yang might have threatened Xie Long to make her stay. Although Xie Long's departure gave her a sense of relief, what angered her was that Zhang Yang's eyes clearly showed he was lying.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Zhang Yang tilted his head aside, avoiding her sharp gaze. He wasn't used to that look — she'd always been gentle and calm when she looked at him.
"Zhang Yang, if you don't tell the truth, I'll never recognize you as my little brother again. If you threatened him just to make me stay, I'll never forgive you." Yang Jing was angry. Her body trembled slightly — maybe because Xie Long's sudden departure had caught her off guard, or maybe because Zhang Yang's lie made her heart ache.
"Enough, Yang Jing!"
Yang Fei walked over from beside Zhang Yang, stood between the two, a faint cold smile on her face. She looked at Yang Jing, let out a snort, and said, "You don't need to yell at him like that."
"Do you know he went to the university just to ask me about Xie Long, and almost got hit by a car?"
"Do you know that he stayed up almost the whole night digging into that bastard Xie Long? He almost flew to Maple Leaf Country to drag Xie Long back and interrogate him himself."
"And look at that Xie Long you've been pining over for more than ten years — what kind of trash is he?" Yang Fei reached into Zhang Yang's pocket, pulled out his phone, opened his storage, swiped to what he had downloaded last night, and handed it to Yang Jing.
"Look, what kind of shit is that? You've been with him for over ten years, and you didn't even know what kind of person he is? Zhang Yang spent an entire day and night for you, and this is how you repay him — by yelling at him?"
Yang Jing, who had never heard Yang Fei yell at her like this, was stunned. She took the phone from Yang Fei, glanced at it a few times, and instantly blushed, turning her face away.
On the screen were several indecent photos of Xie Long and Bessie. The poses were downright obscene. Even though she was a doctor and had seen plenty of human bodies, this was still too much for her.
"And..." Yang Fei rolled her eyes at her. "There's more — keep looking!"
Yang Jing didn't look anymore. Just those few pictures were enough. Enough to prove that the man she'd waited for so long was such filth. She had once forgiven him, thinking he'd change, but she didn't expect him to become even worse.
Was it really true that nature never changes?
She bit her rosy lips, her heart twisting in pain — not because of Xie Long's betrayal, but because she had doubted Zhang Yang, who had risked everything for her, and even scolded him!
"Yangzi, I'm sorry!" Ignoring Yang Fei's presence, she turned and hugged Zhang Yang tightly, tears streaming down her face. "I shouldn't have treated you like that earlier... Did Feifei say you almost got hit by a car because of me? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
She quickly let go of Zhang Yang, frantically scanning him up and down, trying to find any injury. When she found none, she hugged him again, sobbing speechlessly.
Zhang Yang sighed. He hadn't expected Yang Fei to spill the truth, but seeing Yang Jing like this now, he felt somewhat relieved. At least she cared more about him than she did about being betrayed by Xie Long.
"It's fine, you're my sister. It's something I should do." Zhang Yang showed a faint smile and comfortingly patted her shoulder.
Yang Fei, watching from the side, curled her lips with a complicated look. She glanced at Yang Jing hugging Zhang Yang and said irritably, "Let's go. What are you standing there for?"
Only then did Yang Jing notice Yang Fei's presence. She immediately let go of Zhang Yang, looking embarrassed. She brushed her long hair down from her chest and nodded. "Let's go!"
When they went downstairs and asked at the front desk, Xie Long had already checked out.
When they got to the car, Yang Fei looked at Yang Jing but refused to get in her car. Instead, she got into the Land Rover with Zhang Yang.
Yang Jing's car followed behind.
Yang Fei glanced at the rearview mirror, then turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Send me back to the university first! Later, when you're free, talk with Yang Jing for a while. Women who just got dumped tend to do some pretty extreme things."
"I got it, I'll send her home later."
"Send her home?" Yang Fei gave him a meaningful look. "Don't you know that when a woman's at her weakest, the first man to care for and comfort her is the one most likely to capture her heart?"
Zhang Yang turned his head and gave her a speechless look, sweat pouring like a waterfall. How could you tease your own sister like that?
"What are you looking at? I just have a feeling there's something going on between you and Yang Jing."
