Chapter 1820: Stop Himself

Huo Sanyan lay down on the couch and said, “Look at me! If I continue to stay with him, I might lose my life! This isn’t love! He’s just treating me as his personal property!”

Jing Xi remained quiet and listened to Huo Sanyan’s complaints. It was a good thing since Jing Xi could try and understand how Huo Sanyan really felt that way and help her from there.

“You’re right. I never thought he could be so unreasonable. You were even hurt in the process.” Jing Xi sighed. “But what really happened? I don’t think he did that to you intentionally, did he?”

“That’s where you’re wrong! I don’t even know how to communicate with him any further! You don’t even know how bad it could be!” Huo Sanyan scolded. “He would stop me from meeting my friends or going to parties! He even beat my assistant that night for driving me home! And my assistant’s a girl too! Isn’t that too much?”

Huo Sanyan was counting all of the things that Ye Xun had done wrong in the past few days.

“You’re right, that’s way too overboard.” Jing Xi nodded.

“Then he kept worrying about me meeting another man and tied my leg to his with a rope! What does he think I am? A pet?”

“I guess it’s because he doesn’t feel safe...”

“Other than that, he never asked if I wanted to have sex or not! You know about my job and how tiring it can be, but he never cared! How can he even last so long during sex? It’s like he has an engine in him or something!”

“...”

Jing Xi was trying to hold back her laughter as it was her first time hearing a woman complaining about a man lasting too long during sex.

Jing Xi wanted to tell Huo Sanyan how lucky she was, but it wasn’t the right time.

“He does have to change how he treats you. I’ll try and convince him.” Jing Xi nodded.

Huo Sanyan then kept on rambling about how bad Ye Xun was, and Jing Xi was with her the whole time. She even recorded the conversation in secret to let Ye Xun listen to it.

Huo Sanyan fell back onto the couch, feeling drained after all the shouting.

“Stay here. I think I have some fever drugs and a thermometer in the car.”

Jing Xi went to her car and came back with a bag.

Huo Sanyan was too tired to reject Jing Xi’s help and let her be.

Jing Xi took Huo Sanyan’s body temperature, and she was already burning up at 38.5°C. Jing Xi quickly took out the fever pills and gave one to Huo Sanyan.

She then helped Huo Sanyan back to her bedroom and went to make a pot of congee for her.

Jing Xi waited until the fever cooled down a little before leaving Huo Sanyan’s home.

...

Ye Xun went to the army base in the morning and came back around the evening.

Breaking up with Huo Sanyan had caused a significant impact on him. He kept picking his phone up to call Huo Sanyan but stopped himself every time when he thought of what Jing Xi had said.
