Chapter 065 Jealousy: Why is that woman so radiant after the divorce?
"Okay, we'll go back right away."
"Who's looking for me? What's up?"
Gu Mingxia turned her head, her eyes somewhat confused. That look went straight into Xiao Yan's heart.
"Yu Hao, I have a registered letter from Nanjing for you."
In Nanjing, Gu Mingxia immediately thought of Aunt Liu, who had passed away. Before she died, Aunt Liu sent her a letter. What would she have said in it?
The carriage was silent, but one could sense that Xiao Yan had noticeably increased his driving speed.
In the Bai family villa, the family sat on the living room sofa eating watermelon. Bai Zixuan casually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV opposite.
"Brother, your ex-wife is really rich! She donated six million to the orphanage right away!"
Bai Ruiqing flipped through a gossip magazine, speaking sarcastically. It clearly stated that the money donated to the orphanage came from the six million yuan she received in her divorce settlement.
"What's the meaning?"
Puzzled, Bai Zixuan snatched the magazine from Bai Ruiqing's hand, glanced at it, and that one glance made him so angry that he threw the magazine on the ground and kicked it onto the coffee table next to him.
"You bitch, you schemed and tricked me into leaving with nothing, but then you donated all the money I earned to an orphanage!"
"Brother, she's now hooked up with Xiao Yan, the president of Maoguang. Didn't you see? Gu Mingxia donated six million, and Xiao Yan followed up with ten million!"
Fearing Bai Zixuan wasn't angry enough, Bai Ruiqing added fuel to the fire. Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Bai Zixuan's eyes practically blazed with fire.
"You bitch! You can't live a day without a man!"
Bai Zixuan kicked the coffee table again, his furious expression making Ye Xiaorou, who was sitting to the side, very unhappy. She got up and dragged her big belly upstairs. Bai Ruiqing glanced at Ye Xiaorou's bloated back.
"Brother, you've got quite a temper with your woman. Look at her, who are you giving that attitude to?"
Although she didn't like Gu Mingxia very much, she disliked Ye Xiaorou even more.
"Alright, that's enough! Go home if you have nothing else to say. You're always acting like you're afraid the world won't be in chaos!"
Bai Zixuan didn't turn his head and followed Ye Xiaorou upstairs. Bai Ruiqing sniffed, ignoring Bai Zixuan's words.
"I'm not leaving tonight; I'm staying here overnight!"
"Do whatever you want!"
Ignoring Bai Ruiqing's words, Bai Zixuan pushed open the bedroom door and saw Ye Xiaorou sitting on the edge of the bed, shedding tears.
He walked quickly to her side, sat on the edge of the bed, and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Honey, what's wrong? Who made you cry?"
Ye Xiaorou ignored Bai Zixuan's words, instead turning her body to the side and swatting away his hand that was on her shoulder.
Tears continued to stream down her face. Bai Zixuan approached her with a grin, pulled her into his arms, and mischievously slipped one hand inside her clothes, cupping her soft breasts.
"Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, it's not good for the baby in your belly!"
Bai Zixuan breathed softly into Ye Xiaorou's ear, speaking tenderly and ambiguously. Ye Xiaorou's body went weak, and she leaned against Bai Zixuan's chest.
"Do you even remember we have a child? I bet your heart is still with Gu Mingxia!"
Hearing Bai Ruiqing mention that woman, he reacted so strongly. Ye Xiaorou was genuinely worried that he still loved Gu Mingxia, a woman who was so beautiful and radiant that she inspired envy.
So he was jealous!
Bai Zixuan chuckled inwardly. He was still quite charming. Now that he was divorced, he had plenty of women throwing themselves at him. If it weren't for the child in Ye Xiaorou's belly, Bai Zixuan felt that he really wouldn't be interested in this plain-looking woman.
"What are you saying? My heart is entirely with you and the child. How can you say such things to me? It really hurts me!"
With a hint of displeasure in his voice, Bai Zixuan leaned more heavily on Ye Xiaorou's shoulder, but Ye Xiaorou was still immersed in her own world. She had nothing, and the only thing she could rely on was the child in her belly. She knew she was not good enough for Bai Zixuan, but who wouldn't want to live a better life?
"Xiaorou, look, I even got divorced for you and the child. If you keep saying that about me, I'll be so wronged!"
It was only a matter of time before he divorced Gu Mingxia. He married her with the intention of getting closer to the Gu family, and he did have some genuine feelings for her after marriage. However, as time went by, she was unable to give the Bai family a child, which exhausted Bai Zixuan's genuine feelings.
He had already done more than enough by waiting seven years to divorce her. Ye Xiaorou's appearance was precisely the catalyst for his divorce. Now, how wonderful it is that he has found a gentle and kind woman who is about to give birth to his son.
Only in this way can he guarantee a life where the wife stays at home while having affairs on the side!
"You didn't divorce me for the sake of me and the children at all. You only divorced me so that it would be easier for you to have affairs with other women in the future!"
Ye Xiaorou may have shouted those words in a moment of excitement, but Bai Zixuan wouldn't listen to any of her explanations.
He abruptly pushed Ye Xiaorou onto the bed, got up, and strode out.
The pain in her stomach told Ye Xiaorou that she had misspoke. Seeing Bai Zixuan about to leave with his car keys, she ignored the throbbing pain in her stomach, got up, ran over, and hugged Bai Zixuan's waist.
"Xuan, I shouldn't have said those things. Don't be angry, don't go."
He had been too good to her, so good that Ye Xiaorou had forgotten who she really was! Now she even dared to ask about his affairs outside! Bai Zixuan coldly pried Ye Xiaorou's arms off his waist.
"Ye Xiaorou, I divorced you and our child because of you, but you say I did it to play around with women. Fine, since that's what you say, I'll go out and play around with a few more women right now and show you!"
As he spoke, he took a step outside. Ye Xiaorou was naturally terrified and immediately fell to the ground, hugging Bai Zixuan's leg.
"Xuan, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I'll never say anything like that to make you angry again. Don't go, I'm scared to be home alone!"
Pregnant women are often particularly lonely and sensitive, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, when they often feel anxious and insecure. Ye Xiaorou's baby is due in a little over a month, but Bai Zixuan has yet to mention marriage, which makes Ye Xiaorou very anxious and uneasy.
"Um?"
"I...I won't interfere in your affairs anymore, and I won't care who your heart belongs to...For the sake of our child, don't abandon me!"
She knew that once Bai Zixuan left that door tonight, he would never come back again. Ye Xiaorou was quite astute in this regard.
Because of her pregnancy, Ye Xiaorou could only kneel on the ground, clinging to Bai Zixuan's legs, her face still glistening with tears. Seeing Ye Xiaorou kneeling at his feet, pleading with him, Bai Zixuan's masculine pride was greatly satisfied; at this moment... he was a king.
"Xiaorou, you know I don't want to go out at all, but what you said hurt me so much!"
"Xuan, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. As long as you're not angry, I won't interfere in anything you do anymore!"
Ye Xiaorou raised her head, tears streaming down her face. Bai Zixuan was quite pleased with her pitiful appearance. He reached out and patted her plain face. Now that he was divorced, there were plenty of women willing to have children for him, but... when looking for a wife, he had to find a weak and obedient woman like her!
"Sweetie, remember what I said today!"
"I will, I will!"
Hearing Bai Zixuan's gentle tone, Ye Xiaorou nodded hurriedly. Bai Zixuan then smiled and turned to help Ye Xiaorou, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.
"The ground is cold, get up quickly, or you'll hurt our son, and I won't forgive you!"
The sudden tenderness made Ye Xiaorou stiffen. She knew that the person in front of her was unreliable, but who else could she rely on besides this man, who was penniless?
She has seriously ill parents to support and a younger brother who is still in school to pay for. Besides this man, could she find someone better who is willing to spend money on her?
"I overheard you on the phone the other day, and it sounded like your parents were out of money again, right?"
"Yes, but Xuan, the money I sent them was my own savings, I didn't touch yours..."
Ye Xiaorou quickly explained that she knew if this man didn't want to give money, no one could get a single penny from him. Just like Gu Mingxia, who was married to him for seven years, she only received a paltry six million yuan in assets when they divorced. All of this showed Ye Xiaorou how heartless this man was.
“Our child is about to be born, why are we still distinguishing between yours and mine? Tomorrow I’ll give you a million yuan, you can transfer it there and let them buy a house in your county town. How can my parents-in-law, Bai Zixuan’s parents, live in poverty in the mountains?”
"Really? Xuan, thank you so much, you're so kind!"
Ye Xiaorou happily hugged Bai Zixuan, her face still wet with tears, but she still showed a sweet smile.
One million—that's more money her parents, who've never left the mountains, couldn't earn in several lifetimes. As long as he's willing to spend money on her parents, as long as he's willing to let her give birth to this child and be the mistress of this big villa, what does it matter how many women he has outside?
She wasn't pretty, nor did she have a good education. If she wanted a good life, the only way was to hold onto the man in front of her. No matter how difficult life was in the Bai family, she would never give up, never!
Enjoying the tenderness of the woman in his arms, Bai Zixuan smiled with satisfaction. For just a small amount of money, he could have a stable family. Would Gu Mingxia have been able to do that?
The thought of the woman who became radiant and dazzling after leaving him filled Bai Zixuan with displeasure. Yes, she was the woman he didn't want. How could she be living such a wonderful and happy life after leaving him?
Bai Zixuan's face was contorted with rage, his eyes burning with fury and jealousy.
At the Xiao family villa, Gu Mingxia sat on the sofa with a registered letter in her hand, her eyes fixed on the envelope. What exactly was written inside?
"Xiao Yan, should I read this letter or not?"
