Chapter 435 You Promise Me First
"No! You have to agree to my specific demands first!" She screamed sharply, looking at the man in front of her greedily, "I want you to divorce Ji Wan immediately! I want you to marry me right away! I want to be Mrs. Chi in the full sense of the word! I want everyone to bow down to me!"
Her voice became more and more excited, and her cheeks flushed abnormally with excitement.
"Chi Wenyan, did you hear that? That bitch Ji Wan is not worthy at all! She betrayed you a long time ago, and you still treat her like a treasure!" Xiaoya's voice was filled with malicious pleasure. "Do you think that little bastard Nian Nian is really your daughter? Don't be silly! She gave birth to her daughter with another wild man! You are wearing such a big green hat, and you are still in the dark! Only I. Only I am sincere to you and gave birth to a son for you wholeheartedly!"
Her words were like a poisoned dagger, stabbing Chi Wenyan fiercely.
Chi Wenyan's body stiffened imperceptibly, his fingers dangling at his sides suddenly curling up, their joints crackling softly. A storm brewed silently in those eyes staring at the child, threatening to tear apart the calm he had painstakingly maintained.
But there was still no ripple on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was deeper, like black ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
"I'll take care of these once the child is safe." His voice was as cold as ice. "Now, give me the child."
Xiaoya looked at his cold reaction and felt a surge of unease. This shouldn't be his reaction!
He should be angry, shocked, and questioning.
"No! I want you to make a statement right now!" She screamed hysterically, "You must first draw a clear line between you and Ji Wan. You must first acknowledge my son's identity. Call right now and tell Ji Wan in front of me that you want to divorce her!"
She needed a guarantee, one that would put her at ease.
She was afraid that all this was just Chi Wenyan's delaying tactic.
Chi Wenyan's gaze finally shifted away from the child and fell on Xiaoya's face, which was distorted by madness and greed.
There was no anger or hatred in that look, only a coldness and indifference as if one was looking at a dead object.
"Are you sure you want me to call now?" he asked slowly, his tone strangely calm.
Chi Wenyan's eerily calm tone instantly magnified Xiaoya's uneasiness, but it was immediately suppressed by the ecstasy of impending success. She stiffened her neck and screamed.
"Yes, I want you to hit me now! I want to hear with my own ears that bitch Ji Wan get out!"
Chi Wenyan looked at her deeply, his eyes were so cold that Xiaoya subconsciously hugged the child tightly.
He said no more, took out his cell phone, and slid his slender fingers across the screen, finding the familiar name.
The call was connected and set to hands-free mode.
"Hello? Wen Yan?" Ji Wan's voice came, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue and hoarseness, but extremely clear.
Xiaoya held her breath, her heart almost jumping out of her chest, her eyes fixed on the phone screen, as if she wanted to tear the owner of that voice to pieces.
Chi Wenyan's fingers tightened slightly around the phone, their knuckles turning white. He looked at Xiaoya, her face grim as she held the baby, then glanced at the phone again. His voice remained flat, "Ji Wan, let's get a divorce."
There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.
Xiaoya almost screamed, her face showing undisguised elation and madness. Look! Ji Wan was dumbfounded! She was abandoned!
After a few seconds, Ji Wan's voice sounded again, with a heavy nasal tone. Every word was full of brokenness and despair, but there was also a strange firmness: "...Okay. For the sake of the child, I promise you. Chi Wenyan, you must ensure the safety of the child."
"I will." Chi Wenyan spat out two words coldly and hung up the phone directly.
"Hahahaha!" Xiaoya burst into ear-piercing laughter, tears streaming down her face. "Did you hear that? Chi Wenyan! She agreed! She finally left! The position of Madam Yan is mine! It's mine alone!"
She was so excited that her arms were shaking as she held the child.
Chi Wenyan's gaze fell on the tiny baby in her arms, his eyes as deep as the sea. "Now, can you give me the child?"
"For you! Of course, this is your son, our son!" Xiaoya was immersed in great joy, and her remaining sanity was completely overwhelmed.
She carefully handed the child in her arms to Chi Wenyan with an obsessed smile on her face, "Beiting, let's get married right away! I want the most grand wedding, I want everyone to see who is the final winner!"
Chi Wenyan reached out and steadily took the tiny, fragile life in his arms. The child seemed to sense a familiar breath, and its restless squirming stopped, letting out a faint moan.
At that moment, his heart felt like it had been struck hard, its hard shell cracking a little. He looked down at the child in his arms, the frost in his eyes melting a little, replaced by a complex and indescribable emotion.
"Wedding?" He raised his head and looked at Xiaoya, who was still in a state of excitement. A cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Of course. The position of Mrs. Chi naturally requires a matching ceremony."
He turned his head and instructed the bodyguard who had been on standby behind him, "Take Mrs. Chi to get ready. Find the best makeup artist and pick the most beautiful wedding dress."
"Yes, sir." Several tall bodyguards stepped forward immediately.
Xiaoya was overjoyed. She looked at the bodyguard approaching her without a trace of doubt. Instead, she straightened her back and held her chin high, her face radiating the pride and elation of her impending rise to power. "You're a good person! Hurry up! I can't wait to put on my wedding dress!"
She couldn't wait to follow the bodyguard outside, imagining herself wearing a white wedding dress and accepting everyone's envious gaze. Chi Wenyan was hers! Everything in the Yan family was hers! That bitch Ji Wan had completely lost!
The bodyguard took her to a luxuriously decorated room, where there were indeed several expensive wedding dresses hanging on the wall and the dressing table was filled with various cosmetics.
"Mrs. Chi, please wait a moment, the makeup artist will be here soon." A bodyguard said expressionlessly, then retreated and locked the door.
Xiaoya stroked her silky wedding gown, her smile growing ever brighter. She even hummed a song and spun around in front of the mirror, admiring her victorious appearance.
A few minutes later, the door was opened and it was not the makeup artist who walked in, but several police officers in uniform with serious expressions.
Xiaoya's smile froze instantly. She looked at them in astonishment. "Who are you? Who let you in? Get out! I'm the future Mrs. Chi!"
The leading officer produced a pair of cold handcuffs and said in a voice devoid of warmth, "Ma'am, you are suspected of kidnapping and extortion. Please come with us."
