Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 156

Zhao Fan began laughing like a person who had gone insane. She couldn’t believe this was happening to her!

Her husband dared to bring in other women to HER home… Now, her husband fell in love with a nobody that couldn’t even be compared to her. Her ex-lover Feng Huan fell for another woman while he was fighting for his country.

Zhao Fan thought she had Feng Huan wrapped around her fingers. She thought, even after he returns back from the war, Feng Huan will never change his feelings for her. However, thanks to that vixen, Xiong Jingfei, everything about Feng Huan changed. It wasn’t just his feelings but the way he treated her too.

She chased and tracked him down, and this is what she gets in return?

Feng Huan whirled around and grabbed Zhao Fan by the neck, he growled, “What do you mean?”

Zhao Fan’s eyes flashed with anger. He is finally giving her a reaction, but it’s because she mentioned Xiong Jingfei’s name. She continued to laugh even louder. She tried everything to get a response out of Feng Huan, including taking off her clothes, but she didn’t get a single thing!

“Are you so into that vixen that you are willing to pursue her even though she is already betrothed?” Zhao Fan choked, feeling the squeeze around her neck tighter with every word she spoke.

“Answer me!” Feng Huan barked.

When Zhao Fan refused to speak any further on the issue, he flung her to the side. She crashed into one of the tables, but it didn’t stop Zhao Fan from laughing.

“She has been sentenced to die,” Zhao Fan sighed and pulled back her messy hair. ” Well, not yet, but she most likely won’t make it out… Alive.”

Zhao Fan couldn’t be happier that the person she hated all her life was going to die, and it was by the Emperor’s order. She didn’t have to do anything!

“Zhao Fan!” Feng Huan shouted and slapped her. “I know you don’t like her, but you shouldn’t be spouting nonsense.”

Zhao Fan didn’t care about the sting on her face or the cut on her bottom lip. However, he slapped her because of one stupid bitch! She ferociously turned back around and in a shrill voice, “You can go ask anyone! Xiong Jingfei will be executed, and not only her but her entire clan!”

That was when Feng Huan truly woke up from his dreams. He tried falling back asleep in hoping to continue where he left off, or at least find out the meaning behind Zhao Fan’s words. Sadly, nothing happened, and Zhao Fan disappeared from his dream, just like how she appeared.

It was as if he wasn’t allowed to see any more than what was shown. A weird feeling passed over him, telling him that he doesn’t want to find out what happens next.

At school, Feng Huan was only testing Xiong Jingfei to see if she has any idea about what he dreamt about. It was a chance to tell him if the dream meant anything, or if it was even real or just a dream.

He didn’t expect to get a reaction out of her by mentioning the jaded pink ring. It wasn’t a reaction that he was asking her an out of the blue question. It was one that she knows what he was referring to.

At the airport, there stood a person holding a sign. He was waiting for a person to get off a flight. Upon seeing the person he was waiting for, he quickly saluted her, “Welcome back, Miss.”

The woman smiled and took her sunglasses. She was breathtaking as she was cute with an innocent appearance. Those passing her couldn’t help but take another look.

The person waiting for her was the driver assigned to pick her up. He led her to where the car was parked and asked, “Miss, would you like to go back to the main house first?”

The woman sighed, staring out the window to take a look at Sinwang City. How long has it been since I left?

“Your parents have been eagerly waiting for you since this morning.” The driver said, hoping their Miss will head straight home. She has been away from Sinwang City because she was sent to study aboard.

“Okay, let’s head back to the main house.” The woman answered, but her mind was wandering off to someone else.

‘Sinwang City had changed since I have been away, but my feelings for you will never change. How have you been, Zheyan? I am finally back.’

On the ride home, the three of them didn’t talk to each other.

Lu Weisheng was the quietest and the most confused one. He took sneak peeks at Yang Zheyan and Xiong Jingfei. What in the world happened to them? They were so flirty earlier!

Xiong Jingfei stared out the window and hasn’t averted her eyes. She was making it look like it was her first time seeing Sinwang City. In truth, she was avoiding to answer Yang Zheyan. He was most likely staring at her right now.

She was right because Yang Zheyan was staring at her to figure out what she is thinking. Except, he can’t seem to figure it out.

When they arrived back at Yang Zheyan’s house, she got out of the car and went straight to her bedroom. Meanwhile, leaving Yang Zheyan and Lu Weisheng downstairs with questions.

This was Lu Weisheng’s chance, he whispered, “What happened to the two of you? A fight?”

Yang Zheyan couldn’t even keep up the fake smile on his face. He wished it was a fight, then at least he’ll know what the problem is. What Feng Huan said was confusing and didn’t make any sense. However, Xiong Jingfei seemed to understand bits and pieces of it.

“Leave, go have fun with someone else today.” Yang Zheyan shrugged off Lu Weisheng’s question and was also heading towards his own room. Something about Feng Huan and Xiong Jingfei’s conversation didn’t seem normal.

Lu Weisheng grumbled, “These two… Why are both of you so alike!”

Why is no one telling him anything? Isn’t he part of this issue too? Unless it had nothing to do with him and Zhao Fan. Then who?

Right then, Yang Zheyan’s phone began vibrating. He wasn’t in the mood to answer it, but the caller was from his mom. Picking up the call, he hasn’t said his greeting yet, and his mom’s voice was filled with excitement.

“Son! Guess who returned!?”

Yang Zheyan didn’t bother to guess, he straightforwardly asked, “Who?”

Meanwhile, Lu Weisheng was leaning in slightly to hear the conversation between them. It was odd for Yang Zheyan’s mom to ever sound excited about anything. She has been moody lately because of her son’s engagement to Xiong Jingfei. So what got her all riled up?

Song Liqin laughed on the other line, “This weekend, come back, and let’s have a family dinner.”

Yang Zheyan went silent before replying, “Okay.”
