Chapter 226 I'm Just That Unreasonable

Xiao Ruoyi's phone rang soon after; it was Chi Tianlin calling.

She came out of the restroom, answered the phone, and said in a calm voice, "Oh, it's Young Master Chi. What brings you here to call me?"

During the three years Lin Xiyin spent abroad, the two of them often went abroad to visit her, and thus had more contact with her.

However, the two of them didn't get along well, and neither of them were people who would compromise easily, so they often argued when they met.

Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "Can't I greet you just because I don't have time? Besides, I can also check on my little nephew and niece."

The child in Xiao Ruoyi's belly is not going to call him uncle.

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Thank you for your concern. My child and I are both fine."

“You should know why I suddenly called you,” Chi Tianlin said. “You should also know what my brother’s feelings for you are. That girl, Huo Xianyang was meeting her for the first time that time…”

"He kissed me on our first meeting; he really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables."

“He had been drinking, and we were all egging him on. You know how heartbroken he was when you broke up with him…”

"What, is it still my fault?"

"You think you're innocent? You go look at male models and touch their abs. What, does that mean you're allowed to set fires while ordinary people can't even light lamps?"

"Yes, so what?" Xiao Ruoyi smiled: "I'm just that unreasonable."

Chi Tianlin was also helpless: "He couldn't bring himself to kiss her at the time. In the end, the girl kissed him when he wasn't paying attention... What more do you want from him? He would have given you his heart!"

"Who cares!" Xiao Ruoyi's voice turned colder: "Hang up!"

She hung up the phone and looked up.

Huo Xianyang looked at her from the side with a pleading look in his eyes.

Xiao Ruoyi said coldly, "Aren't you leaving?"

Huo Xianyang was taken aback: "Leave?"

“This is my home.” Xiao Ruoyi sat down on the sofa. “Thank you for bringing me back. Take care.”

"Yiyi..."

"Please leave," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I want to be alone for a while."

How could Huo Xianyang possibly leave? "Yiyi, you're pregnant now, and I'm worried about you being home alone."

“What’s there to worry about?” Xiao Ruoyi said, “If I’m unhappy seeing you here, that would be bad for me.”

"I..." Huo Xianyang took a deep breath: "That was just a misunderstanding, and I didn't mean anything by it. You can't get angry with me over such a small thing."

"I'm throwing a tantrum?" Xiao Ruoyi laughed: "Yes, that's just who I am. I'm unreasonable and make a fuss over nothing. You can leave now, and you won't have to put up with my attitude anymore."

"Yiyi..."

"Walk!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Huo Xianyang didn't dare to say anything more.

He stood there for a moment with a frown, then turned and walked out.

“I know you’re upset, but I really don’t know how to explain this to you anymore. I was wondering if I really couldn’t live without you, and it turns out I can’t accept other women.” Huo Xianyang stood in the entryway: “I’ll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything.”

He opened the door and went out.

Xiao Ruoyi sat blankly on the sofa.

She has always been a very carefree person.

He is very generous and open-minded.

But when she was with Huo Xianyang, all her bad temper and pettiness were on full display.

She has never forgiven him for the teasing she endured during their school days.

Now, this has happened again.

Yes, she is petty.

She couldn't stand the thought of Huo Xianyang being intimate with other women.

Yes, she is a hypocrite.

You can do whatever you want, but not Huo Xianyang!

Besides, he only touched the male model once, and Huo Xianyang kissed him!

He actually wanted to kiss another woman!

I can't even imagine it!

Xiao Ruoyi grew angrier the more she thought about it!

Just as I was gritting my teeth, my phone rang again.

She glanced at it, took a deep breath, and then replied, "Ruan Ruan."

Lin Xiyin asked him directly, "Are you angry?"

"What..." Xiao Ruoyi realized, "Did Chi Tianlin call you, or did Huo Xianyang complain to you?"

“Attorney Huo isn’t that kind of person,” Lin Xiyin said. “It was Chi Tianlin who called me and explained the whole story.”

"What, are you being asked to act as a mediator?"

"I just wanted to see if you were really angry."

“What’s there to be angry about?” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I don’t care if he sleeps with someone else.”

"You're just being stubborn," Lin Xiyin said. "Is it really that hard for you to admit you care about him?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "What's so difficult about that? I've already had his child."

"You make it sound nice," Lin Xiyin said. "Who was it that kept it a secret from them back then? You didn't even want them to know you were pregnant, and now you have the nerve to say you're going to have their child? The baby won't even take their surname, and maybe the grandparents won't even let them see it. Is this what you call having their child?"

"Ruanruan, whose side are you on? Why are you all taking his side?"

“I’m acting on principle, not personal connections,” Lin Xiyin said. “We all see clearly how Attorney Huo feels about you.”

“I know,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I’m just… feeling unhappy.”

"If you're unhappy, you can hit him or yell at him, but don't keep it bottled up inside. You're not alone now; you're carrying a baby. Pregnant women should avoid being in a bad mood, or the baby won't be pretty. You told me all this before, and now that it's your turn, have you forgotten?"

“I haven’t forgotten,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I regret it. If I had known I didn’t want him, I would have thrown him away after he was born.”

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lin Xiyin's voice turned colder. "Baby can hear you! Apologize to baby right now!"

Xiao Ruoyi laughed instead: "Who told him to have a father who makes me angry!"

“You can’t say things like that,” Lin Xiyin said. “You’re just so stubborn. Listen to me, don’t get angry with Attorney Huo, understand?”

"Okay," Xiao Ruoyi said lazily.

Lin Xiyin asked, "What about Attorney Huo? I'd like to say a few words to him."

Xiao Ruoyi glanced at the doorway: "I kicked him out."

"You!" Lin Xiyin was furious. "You're heavily pregnant now. If you kick him out, who will take care of you?"

"Weren't you alone back then? Then I can do it too."

"You really are..." Lin Xiyin said helplessly, "You're really angry with him, just because of this?"

Xiao Ruoyi was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

She said, "Ruan Ruan, if Pei Muyi thought about giving you up and being with another woman, wouldn't you be angry?"

Lin Xiyin said, "My situation with Pei Muyi is different from yours with Huo Xianyang. You have a grudge because of what happened before, and you have never been able to truly forgive him, so you have broken up many times. From Lawyer Huo's perspective, he also feels wronged and tired, so there was a moment when it was understandable."

“I didn’t,” Xiao Ruoyi said softly. “You know what kind of person I am. Even though I took you to see male models and said all sorts of nice things, in my heart, there has only ever been him. Even if I really break up with him, I may always be alone in the future. I can’t accept anyone else. I’ve never even thought about it.”

Lin Xiyin felt a pang of sadness: "I know Yiyi, although you're always sharp-tongued, I know how you feel about him. But you can't deny his feelings for you because of this."

"I'm just feeling really upset..."

Lin Xiyin immediately felt sorry for Yiyi: "Yiyi, I'm coming to find you now."

Xiao Ruoyi sniffed: "No need, I'm fine."

"Wait for me, I'll be there in half an hour."

Lin Xiyin was still with Pei Muye at this time. After hearing about this from her, Pei Muye immediately went downstairs and drove her there.

“She’s pregnant now, so her emotions are naturally more prone to fluctuations,” Pei Muye said. “Go and have a good talk with her.”

"I know."

“This Huo Xianyang is another one,” Pei Muyi said, “causing such a mess, and Yiyi is pregnant…”

“I’ve already said it was a misunderstanding,” Lin Xiyin said. “I believe Attorney Huo isn’t that kind of person.”

“But Xiao Ruoyi will be heartbroken,” Pei Muye said. “He even considered trying with other people, which means that at that time, he wanted to give up on Xiao Ruoyi.”

"I thought you would take a man's perspective and let me persuade Yiyi."

Pei Muye said, "That's how much you think of me?"

“No,” Lin Xiyin said, “Many people might think Yiyi is being pretentious if this is mentioned.”

"In the end, it was Huo Xianyang who didn't give her enough security."

"You have a very clear understanding of relationships now."

Pei Muye said, "I've read a lot of books about relationships."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Pei is amazing." Lin Xiyin sighed, "But you're right, she's pregnant now, so her emotions are naturally unstable. I was like that back then, I was fine, and then suddenly I wanted to cry."

Pei Muye took her hand, placed it to his lips, and kissed it: "Yinyin, I'm sorry, I wasn't by your side back then."

“It’s not entirely your fault,” Lin Xiyin said. “I didn’t mean to blame you.”

When they arrived at Xiao Ruoyi's apartment building, Pei Muye took her hand and led her upstairs.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Huo Xianyang leaning against the door.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, unlit, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes downcast, lost in thought.

He exuded loneliness and helplessness.

Lin Xiyin couldn't help but feel a little emotional after reading it.

Hearing the noise, he looked up, paused for a moment, then stood up straight: "Why are you here?"

"Attorney Huo," Lin Xiyin greeted first, "Does Yiyi know you're outside? It's so cold, what if you catch a cold? You're fine with a cold, but are you going to infect a pregnant woman?"

Huo Xianyang quickly said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."

Lin Xiyin said, "It will be too late by the time you realize you're cold."

Pei Muye said, "Attorney Huo and I will go to the car to talk for a while."

Lin Xiyin nodded and raised her hand to knock on the door: "Yiyi, it's me."

Xiao Ruoyi opened the door for her and glanced over casually.

Huo Xianyang and Pei Muye both stood behind Lin Xiyin.

Huo Xianyang's eyes were red.

Lin Xiyin went inside and closed the door behind her: "Don't let them in. Let them reflect on their actions outside."

She led Xiao Ruoyi inside.

Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "What are you doing here? I'm really fine."

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Lin Xiyin pulled her to sit down. "Tell me, what do you want me to do to make you feel better?"
