When Qiao He returned Shen Yi's call to inform him about Gong Yijun's whereabouts, Lu Xinyi woke up from her slumber and heard the conversation between the two . Shen Yi didn't bother to conceal his displeasure about what happened to her earlier . She begged him not to kill Gong Yijun out of rage . She could not—and she would not—allow him to make a grave mistake just because she was hurt by someone .
With her insistence, Shen Yi allowed her to come with him to see Gong Yijun without telling her about the meeting with her supposed fiance . He would not allow Lu Xinyi to meet Li Yuren . He didn't trust the man so why would he give Li Yuren a chance to get in between him and his wife?
Lu Xinyi waited inside the limo while he dealt with Li Yuren . Taking Gong Yijun from Li Yuren wasn't the real problem, but what he should do with him, knowing that his wife was aware of him abducting her ex-boyfriend . He had initially intended to torture him again, but a pest was a pest; until he learned the lesson the hard way, he would not stop pestering Lu Xinyi .
"Let him go . You don't need to kill him . " She begged him, but Shen Yi was half-tempted to drag her away for her not to see this disgusting side of him, but he had a guess that Lu Xinyi already knew that he was a selfish, greedy, and powerful bastard who took what he wants and what he needs for himself . Strangely enough, Lu Xinyi was on the top of his list .
Now that it was all over, her silence irritated him . It was unusual for her to stay this way .
"Xinyi," Shen Yi called her out . It was then that she decided to break down and cried beside him .
"It's over," she murmured . Her husband hugged her; Lu Xinyi just sat there crying in his arms . Closing her eyes, she released a sigh of relief . This was all over . Gong Yijun wouldn't dare to hurt her again; he wouldn't come after her after all of these . All she wanted was to be free from her past and love her husband freely .
And now that Gong Yijun was finally out of the scene, she needed not to worry about him anymore . She felt like a heavy weight was lifted from her shoulders and taken out of her life . This was some sort of closure for her, and it felt so damn good to be free from Gong Yijun . She was going to move forward in her life, with Shen Yi by her side .
For the first time in her life, she felt genuinely happy . She shared a relationship with her husband which held more love and passion than the previous one she had . With her new-found family and a few friends around her, Lu Xinyi deemed that the world seemed alright .
Shen Yi didn't resist when Lu Xinyi wrapped her arms around him and held onto him . She couldn't seem to let him go . Not now, not ever .
"Shen Yi…"
"You don't need to worry about him starting today . Your life is waiting ahead of you . From now on, you will not look back and cry over him . Silver Leaf is waiting for you," was his response, which had her smiling into his chest as she stayed in his arms . This was where she always wanted to be .
Lu Xinyi relaxed on Shen Yi's embrace, but she knew there were more troubles to come . Even though Gong Yijun was already out of the question, Meng Jiao would still try to make problems on her way .
Did Meng Jiao really think she would back away without a fight? She had ruined her relationship with Gong Yijun and conspired with the Sun family only for her to advance her career and for her own interests . She didn't care if she betrayed Lu Xinyi just to have everything she wanted to fall to her hands .
Lu Xinyi made up her mind . She might not be as smart as Meng Jiao or as influential as Sun Feiyan, but she would make them see that she was no push-over . Even if she had to exert twice or twice the effort to make it to the Silver Leaf Academy, she would .
She was going to prove that she was a capable woman—that she didn't need the Sun family to succeed in the industry she had chosen . She was going to prove all of that through hard work and with Shen Yi's support . After all, she prided herself as President Shen's wife .
