Chapter 284: Angry with Mr. Zhao

Lu Yu nodded and left. Zhao Xuan stood there. After Lu Yu walked away, he immediately turned around and walked out the door.

As the head of the Zhao family, he would never use the back door, so naturally he would not be able to meet Mother Wang. Zhao Xuan should not know that she had been there, and Lu Yu could not tell his uncle about these trivial matters.

Gao Wanxin returned to the villa, feeling uneasy.

The food was burnt to the bottom of the pot.

Zhao Xuan still got off the carriage outside and walked to the villa on foot. He wanted to come here openly, but it was Gao Wanxin who asked him to do so. He must keep a low profile, otherwise he should not come.

In order to make her happy, Zhao Xuan had no choice but to put himself in a difficult position.

They were doing it secretly, making it seem like the two of them were having an affair.

When Zhao Xuan opened the door and went in, he smelled the smell of burnt rice. He walked towards the kitchen, but saw Gao Wanxin holding a basin of water. The kitchen was full of water after all.

"What's going on?"

"The match fell and almost caught the fire. It's okay, I put it out."

The kitchen was a mess and the food in the pot was so mushy that it was inedible.

Zhao Xuan walked forward, took the basin from her hand, put it down, and then took her hand and walked out.

"I've already told you to find two servants, not too many, just a maid and a nanny, but you don't want them and want to do everything yourself. Can you possibly handle this?"

"It's been put out today, but if the fire gets bigger, what will you do?"

His words were accusatory, but also full of concern.

Gao Wanxin knew it very well, but she just couldn't bear to hear Zhao Xuan talk about her like that.

She shook off his hand and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry about my affairs, sir."

"Are you mad at me again?"

"The last few times I came, you were annoyed that I always wanted you. You thought I was annoying, so I didn't dare to ask you to come. Now that I'm here, you're angry again. What do you want from me?"

I originally wanted to come and see Gao Wanxin and worry about her.

But seeing her temper, Zhao Xuan is not without temper.

He has been a good student since he was young, and along the way, he has always been a man of equal character, whether in front of women or in the court.

Being in front of her now is enough to give her face.

She still had such a cold expression, as if he owed her something.

"I don't care what the lord does. I just want my freedom. I'm not the mistress of your master, Zhao Xuan. I'm just myself, Gao Wanxin."

"you……."

Zhao Xuan looked at Gao Wanxin coldly.

He whispered, "You are angry now. I won't argue with you. When you calm down, we can talk it over."

"Then Sir Zhao, take care and I won't see you off."

Zhao Xuan actually turned around and left.

Gao Wanxin walked into the kitchen with red eyes, carried out the dry firewood, and went to clean up the accumulated water in the house. She had not eaten yet and was in a terrible mood that day.

She couldn't help but feel wronged.

She misses her mother.

Why is it so difficult for an orphan to survive?

Zhao Xuan originally wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear it, so he turned around and went back. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Gao Wanxin's suppressed crying. He felt extremely uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than ever before.

"Gao Wanxin, what do you want?"

He said angrily, but bent down and picked her up.

"Are you going to degrade yourself, or are you going to degrade me..."

He carried Gao Wanxin to the bed in the room, sat in front of her, and wiped her tears with his hands.

"Is something wrong? Tell me, I'll try to solve it."

Gao Wanxin looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "Sir, can I ask you for a favor?"

"you say."

"Let me go," she whispered.

She and Zhao Xuan were not supposed to be together. Not to mention the big age gap between them, she should have called Zhao Xuan uncle, and Zhao Xuan was the man her mother was supposed to marry.

How did she go back to the Zhao family with Zhao Xuan?

If she didn't have a child, she wouldn't care if she continued living with him like this.

But now she has a child in her belly. After she gives birth to the child, if the child grows up and asks her, "Where is my daddy?" "Why do others have daddies, but I don't?" How should she answer?

But if she married into the Zhao family and gave birth to a child, wouldn't the old lady resent her?

The old lady always asked her to follow her cousin Lu Yu and call her grandma.

Zhao Xuan was surprisingly calm, he looked at Gao Wanxin.

"Why do you suddenly want to leave?"

"I'm pregnant," she answered directly. "What do you think? Should I keep the baby or not? And if I do, what should I do?"

"Sir, the eldest son is married, and the eldest wife is pregnant."

"How did you know?" Zhao Xuan himself didn't know that his daughter-in-law Zhang was pregnant, but Gao Wanxin actually knew it.

"A few days ago, the servants of the Zhao family went to the rouge shop to buy rouge and powder. I asked more about it, and they found out that some rouge cannot be used by pregnant women. Then they told me that the eldest wife of the Zhao family is pregnant, and they thought it was not safe to tell anyone because the pregnancy was less than three months."

"Sir, if you want me to give birth to this child, please send me away."

"If I had stayed here, I wouldn't have given birth to this child."

Zhao Xuan asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Gao Wanxin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Jiangcheng."

If she goes to Jiangcheng, no one there knows her identity. When she goes out, everyone makes up their identities randomly. This is what Maidong told her. She didn't quite understand it before, but now she thinks it's pretty good.

"Okay, I'll take you to Jiangcheng. Take care of yourself and give birth to the baby safely."

"But you are not allowed to marry, and you are not allowed to leave me."

Gao Wanxin had no intention of getting married, so she nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay, I promise you, sir, but please remember your promise not to tell the old lady about what happened between us."

The old lady loves her so much, if she knew that she had an affair with the master.

They would definitely think that she seduced Zhao Xuan.

She liked the old lady very much and she was very kind to her. After her mother passed away and she was in pain, it was the old lady's love that made her feel warm.

She didn't want to see the old lady disappointed in her.

Zhao Xuan held Gao Wanxin's hand and said, "You are being too unfair to yourself by doing this."

"If you are willing, I can marry you right away. I will marry you with honor and I will definitely not let you down."

He is willing to marry her.

Now it is Gao Wanxin who doesn't want to marry him.

"Are you disgusted by my age? You won't be able to live comfortably for a few years if you marry me?"

Gao Wanxin didn't say anything. She didn't actually think that much.

"Forget it. If you don't answer my question, I'll just do as you say. When you want to go to North City, tell me so I can arrange for someone to take you there."

"Thank you, sir. Don't worry, I will listen to you and take good care of the baby."

Looking at her like this, she really dislikes him.

Zhao Xuan felt very uncomfortable. If Gao Wanxin wasn't pregnant, he would have definitely had an in-depth conversation with her.

Finally, he called the servant to the restaurant to get some food. He had dinner with Gao Wanxin before leaving.

When Zhao Xuan returned, the old lady called him over.

"I heard from the people below that you always go out to eat, several times a month, but who do you keep outside? Don't hide it from me."

"Mother, I kept a mistress, but now I'm tired of her and have sent her away."

Zhao Xuan said a few random words.

Madam Zhao glared at him. "You're already so old, your son is married, and you're still fooling around outside. If you like her, bring her in. Don't play around outside."

"I'm telling you right now. Lingxi's personality is getting more and more arrogant, and you don't want to find another one. I'm old now, and I can't get angry. I still mean it. You can find another one so that I can take care of Lingxi's marriage."

Zhao Xuan sat down and drank a cup of tea brought by the maid.

"It's not that Zhang is married, she's the eldest sister-in-law, so Lingxi's marriage will be handled by her."

However, Zhang is pregnant...

Lingxi doesn't really listen to anyone's instructions.

"With Zhang's personality, it's good enough for her to manage Chengliang. Don't interfere with Lingxi, or they'll end up in conflict."

"You two, father and son, really make me worried to death."

Zhao Xuan said: "My son has settled down. He hasn't even been to the backyard. The ones outside have dispersed, so I won't look for them anymore. At my age, I can just wait to be a grandfather."

The old lady was very pleased to hear this.

"Now that you've settled down because you've married your daughter-in-law, it's worth it. Looking at Cheng Liang, there should be good news. Who knows, you might really be a grandfather soon, and I'll be a great-grandmother."

The old lady was very happy when talking about this.

Zhao Xuan nodded.

He was thinking of Gao Wanxin, and saying that he had settled down because he wanted to be a grandfather was just an excuse he made up to appease his mother.
