Chapter 178 - Breakup (1/2)

Chapter 178 BreakupTang Xia was somewhat puzzled as she looked at Fang Yan’s shadow walk out. Why would he call her now? She raised her head and looked around, but found nothing wrong. Seeing Tang Xia lag behind for a long time, Fang Yan looked back at her.

“Come on!”

Tang Xia became more reluctant to go with him when she saw him being so impatient. Judging from his expression and tone, she would rather die than believe that he was about to speak sugared words to her.

Considering Fang Yan would not speak pleasant words, she sighed and followed him slowly.

She went out of the house with Fang Yan. It was dark outside, so she felt frightened. She never felt safe at all when she was with Fang Yan. She shook her leg at ease, pretended to be casual, and looked sideways. She was unwilling to face Fang Yan, so she had to enswathe herself in her coat and put her arms around herself.

Fang Yan kept silent for a long time. Looking at Tang Xia, who had been looking down and doing something he didn’t quite understand, he suddenly felt too embarrassed to say it out loud. As he hesitated, Tang Xia had already become impatient, but she didn’t show it. She raised her head slowly.

“Go ahead. Why did you ask me out here?”

Seeing Fang Yan keep silent, she took the initiative to talk to him. This initiative would protect her from being passive at least.

Upon seeing that Tang Xia had started to talk first, Fang Yan avoided her eyes. He clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“You saw that Song Sisi was scared. She had been timid previously…”

Tang Xia was stunned. What did this have to do with her? She was timid, too, so why didn’t he get worried about her?

Fang Yan noticed the subtle change in Tang Xia’s look. He forced himself to continue.

“She was so scared in the house just now, and in addition to that, Zhang Yaoyao had just died here.”

When thinking about Zhang Yaoyao’s weird death, Tang Xia felt more and more distressed. But she didn’t know why he would speak to her about this. It seemed impossible that he just wanted to say that Song Sisi was scared. If so, he must have been too idle.

“So? What’s your point?”

Tang Xia didn’t want to listen to his chatter about Song Sisi because she felt annoyed when she thought about Song Sisi clinging onto Ye Yifan like a slug.

Though it was clear to her that she would never be Ye Yifan’s girlfriend, she was unwilling to see someone who pretended to be delicate and looked in need of protection tempt him.

“So I thought Song Sisi needed much more protection. She has been so scared. She’s not like you in that you could stay calm even when Zhang Yaoyao had died by your side.”

Tang Xia guessed what he meant, and questioned him in an incredulous voice.

“What the hell do you mean?”

Fang Yan explained as he saw Tang Xia in anger.

“I think you are courageous, and you are never afraid of difficulties. You’re a nice girl. You can live on your own even when I’m not by your side. But Song Sisi is different…”

Tang Xia failed to restrain herself and she snorted. As she had expected, this guy was indeed a scumbag. Although she was not as capable as Song Sisi in pretending to be feeble and pathetic, nor was she good at inspiring men’s urges to protect her, that didn’t mean that she didn’t need someone to protect her.

He was so shameless! He could just say that he loved Song Sisi. But he spoke nonsense instead, which made her much more annoyed with him. She held back her desire to beat him, and couldn’t help thinking.

Had she been cuckolded?

Fang Yan pinched Tang Xia abruptly to force her to look straight into his eyes. Tang Xia had been disgusted by his touch and tried to break away but was wrenched upright by him with force.

“Let’s break up.”

Tang Xia fell into silence. That was ok if they broke up. Couldn’t he say it nicely? Did he have to use force? His behavior renewed her reflections.

She felt it ridiculous at once as she saw Fang Yan beg her to satisfy him as if she were an old witch who hindered the prince to be with the princess.

When had Tang Xia suffered such injustice? She should be abandoned by a scumbag whenever he liked. She suddenly sneered and looked at him.

Fang Yan didn’t expect that she would act like this. He thought that he knew her well. He had chosen her as his girlfriend because she had always been meek. It would be convenient for him to do whatever he liked with such a girlfriend.

He had expected that she might cry, run wild, or hold him on his thighs, begging him not to leave her.

But he never thought that Tang Xia would act like this, who seemed totally indifferent to him at all. What’s more, she looked at him so coldly, seeming to be waiting to see him make fool of himself so as to disdain him.

“All right, let’s break up.”

Tang Xia tittered in her heart. Fang Yan abandoned his girlfriend so easily. Hadn’t he realized that Song Sisi had no interest in him at all even though he had been so wholehearted with her? Had he ever heard of such a word as “back-up”?

In Tang Xia’s eyes, Fang Yan had always been Song Sisi’s back-up.

She had seen very clearly how Song Sisi treated Ye Yifan. Maybe that was because of the sixth sense existing between rivals in love, which could help her locate anyone that cast covetous eyes on her belongings.

She was eager to see what Fang Yan would do next. Perhaps he didn’t know what was in Song Sisi’s mind.

She was waiting for the fun.
