The lady that picked a fight with Yanny suddenly grabbed hold of Yanny’s hand and yelled to the patrons in the hotpot restaurant, “Everybody, look! It’s this b*tch! If it were not for her, Edward and Kerry would be together!”
“Are you crazy? That’s just a TV drama! Snap out of it!” Cindy tried to protect Yanny yet was pushed aside by the lady.
The lady was extremely agitated like she had lost her mind. After that, she took a ladle full of boiling hot soup by the side and splashed it on Yanny.
Shayne immediately grabbed Yanny into his arms and turned around, protecting her with his back.
The hot soup was splashed on Shayne’s back.
The soup was boiling hot. Shayne’s back felt numb. He could not differentiate if it was painful or itchy. He only felt that the skin on his back was on fire.
Yanny’s back was tense. She did not feel the pain that she thought she would feel. When she lifted her head, she saw Shayne’s furrowed brows and handsome face.
“M-master Shayne.”
Yanny subconsciously turned around to have a look at his back, but Shayne stopped her and pushed her head into his arms.
Many were still taking photos while Shayne yelled angrily, “What are you all standing there for? Call the police! Stop taking pictures!”
Cindy immediately took her phone out and called the police.
Someone was still boldly taking pictures. Shayne walked forward and took their phone, smashing it on the floor. He yelled with reddened eyes, “I told you to stop recording, do you f*cking understand?”
Half the patrons of the hotpot restaurant left due to the commotion.
It was suddenly quiet.
Soon, the mall received complaints and escorted the troublemaker out of the hotpot restaurant.
Yanny asked Shayne, “Are you alright? Let’s go to the hospital.”
While talking, Sophia ran over and asked concernedly, “The soup was boiling. Let’s get you to the hospital quickly.”
In a panic, Sophia grabbed Shayne’s arm, turned, and left.
Yanny was still stunned. The man that protected her just now left with another woman.
At that moment, she was stunned and stood on the spot.
Shayne walked a few steps when he realized the woman behind him did not follow up. He bore through the pain on this back, turned around, and pulled her along. He frowned deeply and said impatiently, “What are you still standing there for? I got hurt because of you. Are you trying to run away from the responsibility?”
Shayne’s arm jerked away from Sophia’s palm.
Sophia was a little stunned. She turned to look at Yanny and immediately realized something. She looked on and smiled.
She has not seen Shayne for a few years and thought that Shayne was still a playboy. She did not expect that Shayne would have his eyes on someone so quickly.
Shayne grabbed Yanny’s arm and held onto it tightly. He pulled her into his arms and looked down toward her. He said viciously, “You are going to bear responsibility for this injury! You’re going to pay the medical fees!”
Yanny was speechless.
She pursed her lips and looked at him awkwardly. She furrowed her brows and wanted to push him away but he locked her in tightly. No matter how she pushed, he would not budge.
“Be honest, did you want me to get hurt on purpose?”
Yanny was speechless. ‘How shameless is he?’
Cindy grabbed Yanny’s bag and chased after them. She handed Yanny her bag and said, “Yanny, y-you accompany Master Shayne to the hospital. I won’t follow along.”
After all, there was nothing she could do to help.
Yanny wanted to call after Cindy, but Cindy already ran away. Her speed was faster than a dog. Her best friend was more passionate than others in setting her up.
Sophia was the one that drove while Shayne and Yanny sat behind.
The atmosphere was eerily awkward.
Firstly, Yanny thought that she and Shayne had broken up. It seemed somewhat unclear at the moment as to what their relationship was. It was extremely awkward.
Secondly, the lady driving should be his current female companion. Them being together in the same space could not get any more awkward.
Yanny swallowed hard and said, “Why not you two head to the hospital yourselves. When it’s time to pay the bill, I’ll transfer you the money. Just let me know the amount and I’ll transfer it to you once and for all. I’m not a doctor. I can’t help you much.”
Shayne looked at her sharply and grabbed her wrist tighter as if he wanted to crush her. He glared at her fiercely. “Are you that heartless?”
Yanny opened her mouth as if about to say something but because there was another person there, she did not know how to say it.
She rarely felt so awkward.
Sophia looked at them in the rearview mirror playfully and said, “Miss Yanny, why don’t you just come along? After all, Shayne got hurt because of you. The hospital will be filled with people so you’d have to queue to pay and get medication. I won’t be able to do it alone.”
Yanny was speechless. ‘This Miss Sophia does not mind being a third-wheel?’
Shayne harrumphed coldly. He leaned on Yanny who was in his arms.
“What are you doing?”
Shayne yelled at her. “I’m almost dying from pain. Can’t you just let me lean on you for a while? Will I lose a limb?”
His tone was extremely unfriendly and domineering.
Yanny furrowed her brows. She had no choice but to let him lean against her. However, was it appropriate for Shayne to lean on her chest?
Shayne leaned on her and closed his eyes.
His tone was calm, but it was cold and brutal.
Shayne coldly turned around and strode off. He did not turn back.
Yanny stood on the spot. Her fingers dug deep into her palm. Tears silently fell from her face.
If she was heartless, she would not be miserable now.
He was the one that wanted to break up, yet he was also the one that wanted to get back together. He could just casually go in and out of her life. No matter how mentally prepared she was, there would be times that she would not be able to take it as well.
When he treats her nicely, he would call her his girlfriend, stick to her, and pamper her.
The next moment he would be completely distant and angry. He was like the wind; she could not grasp ahold of him.
Yanny had enough. No one would like to be tortured constantly by him.
Yanny lifted her leg and took off her high heels. She threw it at Shayne.
The high heels hit his back and fell on the floor.
Yanny yelled, “It’s you who wanted to break up. When you want to get back together, you expect me to cooperate unconditionally. You took advantage of me every time. Did I agree to the breakup? Did I agree to get back together with you? I’m always the one being dumped and the one being forced to get back together. Shayne, you said I don’t love you. Yes. You’re right. But don’t forget, I’m always stuck on the passive side. You’re the one controlling this relationship, not me. You decide when to stop and when to continue. Have you ever treated me as your girlfriend?”
Shayne stood there in silence. He did not turn around. A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and strode away.
She could think whatever she liked. After all, she just wanted to use this as an excuse to break up with him.
She finally had a reason to leave this backup boyfriend. Yet she worded it so seriously as if it was his problem.
Who was the one that was in love with someone else? Who was being indecisive? It was never him. He was almost about to hand her his heart, yet she barely gave it a few glances and threw it away casually.
F*ck off. No one wanted to be a backup.
Yanny’s face was covered in tears. She turned around to wipe them away. She wanted to save a little dignity for herself.
However, her tears kept falling inexplicably.
Sophia sighed and helped her get her high heels back. She put it by Yanny’s feet and said, “Put it on.”
Yanny choked and put on her shoe. “Thank you.”
“Shayne…has a bad temper. Whatever he said was just in the spur of a heated moment.”
Yanny mockingly smiled. “He just wanted to find an excuse to break up with me. Why go through all the trouble? If he wanted to break up, just break up. Why blame it on me for being heartless?”
Yanny took her bag, stood up straight, and walked away in her high heels without turning back.
Sophia looked at how both of them left in the same way. They were totally in sync. It was clearly a breakup, yet she felt envious of them.
