40 -40: Give Him Back to Me
The slap was thunderous.
A crisp sound startled the birds feeding on a nearby tree branch into flight.
Yan Ruyi barely kept her footing, covering her face, and stared in disbelief.
“Qianyi, why…
why would you do this?”
Yan Qianyi chuckled lowly, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of her lips.
She coldly lifted her gaze to meet Yan Ruyi’s.
“Why do you think?”
“Weren’t you the one who said you had come to accept my mom and me?”
Yan Ruyi never expected Yan Qianyi to change her face so suddenly.
Although she had felt that Yan Qianyi had been speaking oddly at times over the past few days,
she had thought that Yan Qianyi was just feeling a bit upset.
She never imagined Yan Qianyi would be so heartless as to tear off the facade and confront her head-on.
“Accept you two?” Yan Qianyi scoffed, “In your dreams?”
“Qianyi, we used to be best friends,” Yan Ruyi’s eyes reddened, and she choked up, “Is it because of Qu Yang?
I never competed with you for Qu Yang.
I truly thought you would never wake up again.
And besides, it was Qu Yang who pursued me.”
Yan Qianyi’s face remained indifferent.
The old lady was right, Qu Yang was nothing.
She didn’t care in the least about Qu Yang’s infidelity.
In the past, she had indeed considered Han Ruyi her best friend, and she wanted to share all the good things she had with her.
But now things were different.
If it hadn’t been for Han Ruyi and her mother causing her to become comatose.
If that accident had really been just an accident.
She would have accepted Han Ruyi as her half-sister.
After all, children should not be blamed for the mistakes of their parents.
But there were no ifs.
Yan Qianyi chuckled, “Yes, it’s because of Qu Yang.
Since you don’t want to compete with me for him, can you give him back to me?”
A reprimand would suffice; she had no desire to waste her energy on trifles.
Yan Ruyi muttered incoherently, unable to let out even a whimper.
Yan Qianyi said further, “If you give him back to me, we can still be friends.”
“But…
Qu Yang doesn’t love you anymore, and you’re already married.”
“So, you’re unwilling, huh?”
“Qianyi…”
“Enough, it’s just us two here; you don’t have to play the victim in front of me.”
At that moment, Yan Hong walked over carrying a birdcage.
Seeing them both standing there, he called out from a distance, “Both my daughters are here.”
Yan Qianyi quickly took Yan Ruyi’s arm, her face blossoming into a bright smile, “Ruyi and I were just jogging.
Dad, are you out walking the bird?”
“Yeah, it’s about time for breakfast,” Yan Hong approached, “Ruyi, what happened to your face?”

Yan Qianyi’s slap had been forceful; at this point, Yan Ruyi’s left cheek was so swollen that the handprint was indistinguishable.
Yan Ruyi was about to speak, but Yan Qianyi cut her off, “It’s an allergic reaction to a skincare product.
I was just telling her, using something that doesn’t suit you can only harm yourself.”
Yan Hong nodded, “Ruyi, I think you do buy too many skincare products.
Qianyi never uses those, and look at her skin, it’s perfectly fine.
You should use less in the future; after all, they are all chemicals.”
Yan Ruyi moved her lips, a painful tug on her cheek, “Okay, Dad.”
“I’m so hungry, let’s go to breakfast.” Yan Qianyi released Yan Ruyi and affectionately linked arms with Yan Hong.
Yan Ruyi followed behind them, tears of resentment welling up in her eyes.
She was well aware that if she told her father the truth now, he might not believe her.
She marked today’s grievance in her memory.
It wasn’t just Qu Yang; she would not return anything to Yan Qianyi.
Moreover, she wanted even more!
