The Severing

Jiang Huaiyue didn't think about anything else, and simply answered the question as it was asked, "He's my man, don't you guys know him?"

Jiang Huaiyue's response was quite natural. She then pointed at Lin Fan and said, "Speaking of which, what happened to you?"

Jiang Huaiyue's words made Lin Fan frown. She had always spoken to him from the perspective of a friend.

Lin Fan's face darkened, "You said he's your man?"

Jiang Huaiyue nodded, "That's right!"

Lin Fan felt like he was about to shatter.

His heart ached unbearably.

"Then what am I?" Lin Fan finally couldn't hold back.

He pointed at Jiang Huaiyue, "You're involved with him? You betrayed me, how could you do this to me?"

At this, Jiang Huaiyue was slightly stunned and also angered.

"Are you sick!" Jiang Huaiyue's delicate eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean I betrayed you? What's our relationship?"

"At best, we're comrades. Do I need to report to you when I get a boyfriend?"

Lin Fan paused, feeling a sense of nameless anger with nowhere to vent.

Indeed, he and Jiang Huaiyue had never been in a romantic relationship.

What right did he have to talk about betrayal?

It was just that he knew there had always been a thin veil between Jiang Huaiyue and himself, so he instinctively considered her his woman.

Shen Wuxiao also fanned the flames at the opportune moment.

"No, brother Lin Fan, what do you mean? Isn't that overstepping your bounds?"

"Shut up! You don't mess with a friend's woman, and you're doing this!" Lin Fan was truly enraged, pointing at Shen Wuxiao and shouting involuntarily.

For a moment, killing intent flared in Shen Wuxiao's eyes.

Bastard, no one had ever dared to yell at him before.

But he still didn't move, just watched. He could always chop Lin Fan to pieces and feed him to the dogs later.

However, Jiang Huaiyue was displeased. Why should he yell at her man?

Besides, what did he mean by "friend's woman"? Was she his woman just because he said so?

"Lin Fan, aren't you being too self-righteous?"

Jiang Huaiyue also decided to make things completely clear, "Between us, we're just comrades. And you acting like this, aren't you deceiving yourself?"

"And in what capacity are you accusing me right now?"

"If it's according to you, then anyone you fancy must be yours? Is that it?"

Lin Fan couldn't speak for a long time.

In fact, Jiang Huaiyue had guessed correctly; Lin Fan did have that kind of mentality.

Whoever he fancied, who else could touch them?

But the words were stuck in his throat, and he just couldn't say them.

He also knew that Jiang Huaiyue was right, but he just couldn't swallow his pride.

The thought that the bastard who he wouldn't even dare to touch was now standing tall and acting out made him want to kill.

Shen Wuxiao again secretly attacked, "Brother Lin Fan, your attitude is heartbreaking!"

"Yue'er told me she traveled thousands of miles to be here to help you, but what's your attitude?"

"What happens between Yue'er and me doesn't seem to concern you."

Lin Fan felt like he had been completely ignited. The thought of them being intimate in the villa while he was freezing outside drove him mad.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

He roared, his killing intent exploding, True Force spreading out, and his iron fist shot directly towards Shen Wuxiao!

Shen Wuxiao remained unmoved, a cold smile on his face.

Just as the iron fist was about to hit Shen Wuxiao, Jiang Huaiyue intervened.

She kicked out swiftly from the side, directly hitting Lin Fan's arm.

The kick had considerable force, and Lin Fan, with the momentum, spun around and retreated two steps.

"Lin Fan, you've gone too far!" Jiang Huaiyue's gaze was incredibly cold.

If she hadn't blocked it, Lin Fan's punch might have even killed Shen Wuxiao!

This punch also shattered their camaraderie as comrades!

Jiang Huaiyue reached for her waist, and the next second, a soft sword instantly appeared.

It danced like a silver snake.

The soft sword pointed directly at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's heart shattered.

He couldn't quite believe it, "You... you're pointing a sword at me?"

Jiang Huaiyue, however, had a face full of ice. "Because I didn't bring a gun!"

Lin Fan was even more devastated.

Jiang Huaiyue's pretty face was filled with disgust, her tone icy. "Lin Fan, we've been through so much together, facing death side-by-side. We're people who could trust each other with our backs!"

"I've never been one to hide things, so let's make things clear today!"

"I admit, I did have feelings for you once. I couldn't tell if it was more camaraderie, sibling affection, or romantic love!"

"When I heard you were in trouble, I left the team without hesitation, just to help you get revenge. You ask yourself, have I ever wronged you?"

"I..." Lin Fan was speechless for a long time.

He had truly been blinded by anger.

He had harbored murderous intent just now, and it was likely that any remaining affection had been completely extinguished.

Jiang Huaiyue continued, "But what did you do? In front of my man, you ruined my reputation, claiming I was your woman!"

"When was I ever your woman?"

"I always thought you were someone who understood reason, knew honor and disgrace, was reserved and humble, and selfless. I even used you as a goal, trying to keep up with you!"

"But now it seems I was completely mistaken!"

Jiang Huaiyue's words were like pearls, and for a moment, Lin Fan felt utterly ridiculous.

"Yue'er, I..." Lin Fan, realizing his rashness too late, wanted to salvage the situation.

"Please call me Miss Jiang, or my name!" Jiang Huaiyue gave him no leeway at all.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, feeling unbearably stifled.

But Shen Wuxiao was delighted.

His wife was amazing, infuriating that bastard.

"From the moment you harbored killing intent, our connection was severed!" Jiang Huaiyue said coldly, flicking her soft sword. "Now, whether to leave or fight, the choice is yours!"

Lin Fan opened his mouth, but neither moved nor left.

Jiang Huaiyue didn't want to waste any more time.

She took Shen Wuxiao's hand and walked directly towards the car.

Shen Wuxiao was laughing wildly in his heart.

The system in his mind was also chiming.

「Ding, congratulations to the host for severing the protagonist's romantic entanglement, points +100000」

「Congratulations to the host for causing the protagonist to break down and collapse, points +50000」

「Congratulations to the host for causing the emotional connection between Lin and Jiang to dissipate, points +50000」

He was making a killing!

The two walked past Lin Fan.

Especially as Shen Wuxiao passed, Lin Fan clenched his fists, his hidden rage almost erupting again.

Jiang Huaiyue remained vigilant; if Lin Fan had made a move, she would have immediately attacked.

But Lin Fan managed to suppress it.

Only after they got into the car did Lin Fan leave without a word.

He had been walking away with a cool demeanor, but once he reached a place where no one was around.

Lin Fan finally broke down.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

"I finally felt my heart flutter for someone, and you made me lose so completely... Hahaha... Damn it!"

Lin Fan really wanted to lash out, but in the end, he just threw a punch before leaving.

There was no longer any possibility between Jiang Huaiyue and him.

It was a pity he would never know that even bigger setbacks were still to come!

After Lin Fan left, the car parked there had not yet started.

Shen Wuxiao and Jiang Huaiyue sat in the car.

Jiang Huaiyue also fell silent, not speaking.
