Qi Shifeng ignored Xie Yu. Instead, he grabbed Xu Tingyu's wrist and pulled her up.
Xu Tingyu was caught off guard and was directly pulled to her feet. Just as she was about to resist, her waist was already encircled.
She looked up at Qi Shifeng, using her eyes to ask what he was up to.
But at this moment, the man didn't look at her. Instead, he said to Xie Yu, who was blocking their way, "Get out of the way."
These two words were extremely cold, completely different from how he was years ago.
Xu Tingyu became even more curious about what had happened between the two of them.
Xie Yu was publicly humiliated. Her lips turned pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.
She looked so pitiful.
However, Qi Shifeng remained unmoved.
He wrapped his arm around Xu Tingyu and walked past from the side, not even giving Xie Yu a single glance back.
Xie Yu seemed to be hesitant about something. She subconsciously took two steps forward but then slumped back into her seat.
When Xu Tingyu walked out of the coffee shop, she still glanced back. She only saw Xie Yu with her head down, her shoulders heaving, obviously crying.
She immediately shook off Qi Shifeng's hand and looked at him coldly. "What on earth are you two up to?"
Qi Shifeng's brows were furrowed, and he looked down at her.
"Xie Yu is a scheming and obsessive person. Stay away from her."
This really caught Xu Tingyu by surprise.
Her inquisitive gaze lingered on his face for a moment. She didn't know what he was up to, but her intuition told her there was some danger.
So, she immediately didn't care about her damned curiosity. Instead, she broke free from him and was about to leave.
In Qi Shifeng's eyes, this meant she was being ungrateful and deliberately going against him.
He stretched out his long arm and pulled her back into his embrace. "Where are you going?"
How could she leave without finishing talking?
Xu Tingyu wasn't going to indulge him now. "What does it matter to you?"
Qi Shifeng frowned, and his voice also deepened. There was an indescribable anger in his tone. "Come with me."
"Why should I come with you? You... Ah! You bastard. Put me down."
Xu Tingyu certainly wouldn't listen to him.
But she forgot that there was a huge physical difference between men and women. She had never been a match for Qi Shifeng.
The man just gave her a cold smile. Then he bent down and picked her up.
She kicked and struggled for a few times but didn't hurt him at all. Instead, she exhausted herself and was out of breath.
Many people around looked over. Xu Tingyu still had to live here for more than two months. She couldn't afford to lose face, so she could only be carried into the car.
"I find you really strange. You were the one who was so crazy in love back then. Why are you so cold now? Did she cheat on you?"
She admitted that there was a bit of schadenfreude in her question.
After all, these two people had given her a hard time back then.
Now that this "lovely couple" no longer had her as a "stumbling block," their relationship had turned out like this.
Since she couldn't leave anyway, she might as well satisfy her curiosity.
Qi Shifeng frowned and looked at her. "When was I crazy in love?"
"Now you're not admitting it? Hmph, this is just how men are."
Xu Tingyu rolled her eyes at him and started to be sarcastic.
Even she herself found it very strange. After four years, when they met again, perhaps without the shackles of marriage, their way of getting along made her feel more relaxed.
At least, in the past, she was always so cautious around him. She didn't dare to say this or ask that, for fear of getting a result she couldn't bear.
But now it was different. Except for things related to Youyou, she wasn't afraid of anything else.
"Who told you that? Xie Yu?"
Qi Shifeng couldn't stand her sarcastic look.
It seemed that she really didn't care about him at all, and she could even joke about such things.
Xu Tingyu raised her eyebrows, looking very puzzled. "Do I need someone to tell me? You eloped for her, gave her resources, and supported her. What else do you want?"
As the saying goes, we're all adults. Don't just listen to the so - called love words. We should see where the money is.
Where the money is, the love is.
The transferred villa, the large amount of resources, the sky - high jewelry at the auction, the top - level luxury brand endorsements...
Wasn't there love behind each of them?
Qi Shifeng's face became darker and darker. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him.
"Xu Tingyu, there has never been a third person between you and me. At least, I never had one. I never had any romantic feelings for Xie Yu."
He wouldn't have said such things four years ago.
Because he had never really faced their feelings.
Or rather, at that time, he had never thought that he would have feelings for this woman.
But now it was different.
Her sarcasm was an insult to his innocence.
He was so angry that his face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and the hands on her shoulders were constantly tightening.
He was really furious.
It was the first time Xu Tingyu heard him say that he was innocent with Xie Yu. She was stunned and looked into his eyes.
No romantic feelings? Then what about all the sufferings she had endured before? What about the bad reputation she had carried?
He really dared to say that.
But she just couldn't believe it.
"Come on, do you think I'm blind? Fine, let's just say I'm blind. Are all the other people blind too? Everyone thought you two were a couple."
"However, it's all in the past now. We're divorced anyway. I don't care about your private life. You can love whoever you want."
Her mood fluctuated, and she began to feel irritable and restless.
"Please let me out of the car now. I have work later."
She refused to look at Qi Shifeng anymore and insisted on getting out of the car.
But how could Qi Shifeng let her have her way?
He was so angry that he sneered. He even wished he could strangle her to death. "You've got me wrapped around your finger, and now you tell me I can love whoever I want and want to get away scot - free?"
There was a hint of frost in his dark eyes, but it was far from the storm it stirred up in Xu Tingyu's heart.
What did this mean?
But before she could ask him, she was already pressed down on the seat.
"Xu Tingyu, remember, I, Qi Shifeng, am not an easy - going person. Since you married me, it's destined that our lives will be intertwined."
"Moreover, I've given you a chance. In these four years, I've never bothered you. It was you who chose to come back and continue to entangle with me."
"Since that's the case, then you'd better remember clearly. I don't care who you had in your heart before. From today on, clean it up."
"You're mine and can only be mine."
Along with these passionate words, his hot kiss landed on her.
Xu Tingyu was completely shocked by this forceful confession. She even forgot to struggle when his kiss came.
The heat rose from where their bodies were intertwined, as if it was going to ignite this narrow space.
His lips and tongue were so hot that her heart trembled.
"Qi Shifeng, you, you..."
She murmured his name.
And her murmur made his heart flutter and his desire rise.
He guided her hand to his belt. The cold metal texture was so hot that she shrank back.
