Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 216 Killing the Cuckoo (31)

Faced with the incoming fist, Li Tingyi neither dodged nor flinched, taking the blow head-on.

I thought that after the fight and the scolding, Fang Yihe would calm down and we could have a proper talk.

But after Li Tingyi was punched four or five times in a row, Fang Yihe not only did not stop, but became more and more vicious, showing a tendency to beat him to death.

Is this still the same Fang Yihe who used to be so gentle that you couldn't bear to raise your voice at him?

Li Tingyi was kicked in the stomach, feeling both pain and grievance. When the kick came down again, he couldn't help but fight back.

Two grown men got into a fierce fight on the rooftop.

Li Tingyi initially tried to suppress Fang Yihe, but was enraged by Fang Yihe's ruthless and merciless attacks, and his punches became heavier and heavier with each blow.

In the end, both sides were almost half-dead from injuries, lying exhausted on the rooftop panting heavily.

After a while, Fang Yi got up from the ground and limped toward the entrance to the rooftop.

With his face bruised and swollen, Li Tingyi immediately sat up: "Fang Yihe!"

Fang Yi didn't stop walking, nor did she turn back: "Get out!!!"

Li Tingyi: "..."

Fang Yihe walked out of the hospital through a side door and made a phone call to Yan Zhen.

"Xiao Li, I couldn't find the item. There's an urgent matter at the research institute, so I have to go there. Please hire a driver to take you back."

Yan Zhen replied, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly.

If she wasn't mistaken, Fang Yi and Li Tingyi must have fought, and Fang Yi was seriously injured.

Otherwise, Fang Yihe wouldn't have made an excuse to leave.

Yan Zhen felt a little regretful that he couldn't witness the dramatic scene of lovers turning against each other and fighting.

She got out of the passenger seat and walked around to the driver's seat, just about to get back in the car, when her phone rang again. It was Qi Zhaoyi calling.

Yan Zhen answered the call with his earphones in: "Hello?"

"Miss Gao, there's a notebook in my hospital room. Is it yours?"

Yan Zhen pretended to rummage through his bag before saying, "It's mine, I accidentally left it with you."

Have you left the hospital?

"not yet."

"Then come to my ward." Qi Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment, "There's something I want to ask you."

Yan Zhen sensed a hint of gossip in his words and immediately replied, "Okay."

Yan Zhen returned to Qi Zhaoyi's ward, where he was mopping up the chicken soup spilled on the floor. Yan Zhen tiptoed over the cleaned area and asked, "What spilled?"

"Chicken soup, Li Tingyi brought it over." Qi Zhaoyi asked hesitantly, "Um, did you see Li Tingyi when you came up here?"

Realizing this was an opportunity to listen to a live broadcast, Yan Zhen said, "No, what's wrong?"

"..." Qi Zhaoyi did not answer immediately.

Yan Zhen pretended to have noticed something amiss and pressed, "What happened?"

Qi Zhaoyi then stammered, "Half an hour ago, a man rushed into my ward and hit Li Tingyi. They went out together and haven't come back yet. I'm worried something might happen to Li Tingyi. If you can contact him, please tell him that if he needs my testimony, I can come forward..."

"Testify? Testify about what?"

Qi Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment, seemingly struggling with whether revealing this would expose Li Tingyi's privacy. After a while, she said, "If I'm not mistaken, Li Tingyi is probably gay, and the person who rushed in was his... boyfriend."

Yan Zhen paused slightly.

If I'm not mistaken—

Li Tingyi is likely a gay man.

Did Qi Zhaoyi not know that Li Tingyi was gay?

Aren't they exes?

Yan Zhen vaguely realized that he had misunderstood something, and asked bluntly, "You didn't know he was gay before?"

Qi Zhaoyi was also taken aback for a moment, and asked in return, "Should I know?"

Yan Zhen: "...I thought you two had been together."

Qi Zhaoyi: "...I'm straight."

"..."

"..."

Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere in the ward became eerie.

Just then, Yan Zhen's phone rang. The instant the screen lit up, Qi Zhaoyi noticed that her phone wallpaper was a wedding photo of the two of them cuddling together.

The man in the photo is the one who rushed in and hit Li Tingyi half an hour ago.

The call was from Wang Jinqiu, who explained some work-related matters. Yan Zhen hung up after finishing speaking and turned around to find Qi Zhaoyi staring straight at him, her eyes full of scrutiny.

Yan Zhen was puzzled by his gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"you are married?"

"Correct."

"Are you and Li Tingyi really friends?"

"……certainly!"

"Does your husband know Li Tingyi?"

Yan Zhen: "..."

He seemed to have discovered his purpose.

Yan Zhen's silence was tantamount to an admission in Qi Zhaoyi's eyes. He sneered, "Li Tingyi is gay and has an unusual relationship with your husband. You misunderstand that I am also gay and treat me as Li Tingyi's ex."

"May I speculate that from the very beginning, with that mistakenly delivered cake, your acquaintance with me was premeditated? You wanted to use me, your 'ex,' to target Li Tingyi and sow discord between him and your husband?"

It would be a lie for Yan Zhen to say he wasn't surprised.

She knew Qi Zhaoyi was intelligent and sensitive, but she never expected him to be this smart.

At what point did I reveal the secret?

Meeting Qi Zhaoyi's questioning gaze, Yan Zhen decisively clasped his hands together and bowed ninety degrees to him: "I'm sorry!"

Qi Zhaoyi: "..."

“I took advantage of you,” Yan Zhen said sincerely. “My husband and Li Tingyi are both gay. I was a wife of a gay man who was tricked into marriage. After learning about my husband’s sexual orientation and his purpose in using me to have children, I had the idea of ​​dealing with them and making them pay the price.”

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break them up. Later, I accidentally learned that Li Tingyi had someone else in his heart, and that was you. I found you and befriended you. I also deliberately revealed the news of your hospitalization to Li Tingyi.

He fell for it, and it even caused an argument with my husband. It was all a setup by me. I'm very sorry for deceiving you and causing you trouble.

Yan Zhen bowed again as he spoke: "If you are willing, I would like to make it up to you as much as I can within my means, to express my apology."

Qi Zhaoyi: "..."

She poured out the whole story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, leaving Qi Zhaoyi completely bewildered.

Although she was somewhat angry that he approached her with ulterior motives, in the end, she did not cause him any real harm; on the contrary, she saved him twice.

He's only able to stand here and question her now because of her.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhaoyi felt annoyed but didn't want to pursue the matter further. He glared at her for a while and said sullenly, "Fine, you have your reasons."

Upon hearing that he had relented, Yan Zhen realized that he did not want to pursue the matter. She immediately fawned over him, took the mop from Qi Zhaoyi's hand, and helped him sit down on the hospital bed.

"Let me do it, let me do it. You're a patient, how can you do such rough work?"
