Cheng Yifeng didn’t expect that the normally timid and timid Wen Yining would actually dare to take action, and he certainly didn’t expect that Wen Yining, whose voice was usually as quiet as a buzzing mosquito, could actually hurt him.
When did she get so quick?
If he hadn’t dodged in time, a piece of flesh might have been cut off his arm.
Cheng Yifeng had a cut from Wen Yining’s knife. Although it wasn’t deep, the wound was long, and the blood flowed heavily, giving it a rather grim appearance.
Gu Yuxuan had two drops of Cheng Yifeng’s blood splattered on her face. Terrified, she screamed and scolded Wen Yining with a trembling voice: “Ah~! You’re crazy! Wen Yining, you’re insane! How dare you attack Yifeng?”
“I did attack him. So what?” Wen Yining waved the knife in front of Gu Yuxuan, grinning menacingly. “I dare not only to cut him, but also to cut you!”
Before she finished speaking, Wen Yining lunged at Gu Yuxuan.
As an excellent surgeon, Wen Yining often stood in the operating room for an entire day. Apart from her medical skills, her stamina was superb.
Although the original body was weak and got out of breath after running a few steps, it didn’t stop her from performing at full capacity.
Wen Yining chased Gu Yuxuan, who panicked and ran frantically around the yard, scolding her as she ran: “You shameless little homewrecker who’s always fawning over Cheng Yifeng! How dare you act arrogant in front of me? What right do you have in this family?”
“Even if I were to chop off Cheng Yifeng’s head today, it’s our marital dispute! It’s none of your business, you outsider!”
“I’ve been watching you run all this time, and you’re quite agile. I didn’t see you trip over any clotheslines or piles of junk in the yard. So? Even little Yaoyao could trip you? How come I didn’t know my daughter was born with super strength?”
Every time Wen Yining was about to catch up to Gu Yuxuan, she would deliberately pause and slash the air behind her.
Each time, Gu Yuxuan screamed, turned pale, and changed direction to keep escaping.
No matter how she ran, she couldn’t shake Wen Yining off.
Wen Yining turned the chase into a cat-and-mouse game, thoroughly enjoying the sound of Gu Yuxuan’s panicked screams.
Gu Yuxuan’s shirt had already been torn by Wen Yining’s skilled knife work, with several strips of cloth barely covering her back.
The cool air made Gu Yuxuan’s skin crawl, and she cried as she leapt toward Cheng Yifeng: “Yifeng, save me~ Wen Yining has gone crazy! It hurts so much!”
“It doesn’t hurt at all! I haven’t even touched you!” Wen Yining’s eyes turned cold as she slashed a small cut on Gu Yuxuan’s back.
Blood immediately gushed out, soaking Gu Yuxuan’s tattered shirt.
“You said it hurt, right?” Wen Yining looked at Gu Yuxuan’s terrified face with satisfaction. “Remember this feeling. THIS is real pain!”
Gu Yuxuan, pale-faced, threw herself into Cheng Yifeng’s arms, trembling all over in fear.
Seeing Wen Yining actually injure Gu Yuxuan, Cheng Yifeng’s face changed. He stepped forward, raising his hand to slap Wen Yining. “You’ve gone too far! This family isn’t yours to control!”
But his hand didn’t land on Wen Yining’s face. Cheng Yifeng froze, feeling the knife’s back pressing against his wrist, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
If it had been the blade instead of the back, his hand would have been gone!
Wen Yining tapped his wrist firmly with the knife’s spine.
A sharp pain spread through Cheng Yifeng’s wrist, making his brow furrow tightly.
“I was too busy scolding her and forgot about you, huh?” Wen Yining taunted, pointing the knife at his nose.
“Some people have heads to think. You have a head just to look taller.”
“You believe whatever she says. She even claimed that manure in the dung cart tastes sweet. Why don’t you try some?”
“Empty-headed, can’t think. And your eyes, what good are they? Those hollow sockets under your brows, are they just for show? My daughter is smaller than that shameless woman in your arms, yet you can push her down? If your eyes are useless, maybe you should donate them to someone in need!”
“Shut up!” Cheng Yifeng’s face darkened, almost dripping with gloom.
He helped Gu Yuxuan to a safe corner, threw his jacket over her, and turned to confront Wen Yining.
But Gu Yuxuan’s screams drew the attention of neighbors. Especially the nosy woman next door, who climbed on a ladder and peeked over the wall, her curiosity barely contained.
“What’s going on?” the neighbor exclaimed, eyes glinting with excitement upon seeing Wen Yining’s knife. “Oh, Wen Xiao, you’re arguing with Cheng’s kid? Couples fight in private, fine—but no need for knives!”
“Cheng’s kid is rarely home. You should be spending time building a relationship! Your mother-in-law is waiting for a healthy grandson!”
Wen Yining sneered. Give birth? No way. Cheng Yifeng couldn’t father a child anyway!
Facing her meaningful gaze, Cheng Yifeng felt uneasy, suspecting that Wen Yining knew something.
“Calm down, reflect on your mistakes, and think carefully about raising your child!” Cheng Yifeng didn’t want the nosy neighbor watching and said this coldly, then hurriedly helped the panicked Gu Yuxuan escape, ignoring their wounds.
They were supposed to return to the army today and hadn’t expected such a scene. Gu Yuxuan’s sensitive identity meant Wen Yining couldn’t make trouble for her.
As Cheng Yifeng and Gu Yuxuan left the yard, Wen Yining thrust the kitchen knife into the door.
“Calm down, my foot! I know how to raise a child!” Wen Yining didn’t even glance at the neighbor on the wall and led the hiding Yaoyao back inside.
When she gave birth, her family had assumed the baby would be a boy. But when they saw it was a girl, they didn’t even bother giving her a name, calling her Yāoyāo instead—meaning “stillborn.”
It was clear the family didn’t want her to live long.
Fortunately, the original Wen cared deeply for her daughter and changed her name to Yaoyao.
But lacking strength, she couldn’t give Yaoyao a better life. At five years old, Yaoyao was still small and malnourished.
After chasing Cheng Yifeng and Gu Yuxuan outside, Wen Yining had expended a lot of energy. The moment she stepped inside, she poured herself a cup of water and drank most of it in one gulp before she finally caught her breath.
For the first time, Yaoyao saw her mother standing firm. She was both surprised and curious.
