"Young Marshal, are you going to rest in the villa tonight?" Lin Chunhuan's tone was gentle, but his eyes were distant. "Then I'll ask Aunt Wang to prepare another room for me."
"Huihui."
Without letting Lin Chunhuan leave the room, Allen Chu reached out and grabbed her wrist. "I apologize to you for what happened today, and I promise you there won't be a next time."
"No need."
Lin Chunhuan spoke indifferently and gently broke free from his hand. "At first, I thought we could live in peace for the sake of the child."
"But now... Chu Shaoting, I'm also a person. I have emotions, I get moved, I get sad, I have expectations, so I'm sorry." Lin Chunhuan took a half step back, his eyes lonely, "I can't spend my whole life with a man who doesn't love me."
"I broke my promise this time. I apologize to you."
"But, after the child is born, we will divorce."
The word "divorce" clearly stung Chu Shaoting. Before he could even think, he blurted out, "I don't agree!"
"The entire Demon City knows that you are my, Chu Shaoting's, wife. Now that we're divorced, do you think anyone would dare to marry you?"
"So what does this mean, Young Marshal?" Lin Chunhuan continued to smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "You love someone else, but you won't let me go. Are you trying to have the best of both worlds?"
"Even if you are willing, will Chu Xi be willing to be your concubine? Or do I have to give her the title of the Chu family's young mistress after Grandma passes away and willingly be your concubine?"
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and said, "Chu Shaoting, do you think I am too cheap?"
Chu Shaoting was speechless after being asked this question. He knew very well that this was not what he thought, but he could not answer any of the questions here.
He couldn't give up Chu Xi completely.
If he was asked to let Chu Xi be his concubine, he would not even think about it and would never agree.
Chu Shaoting himself knew very well that agreeing to Lin Chunhuan's request, letting the child be born to appease his grandmother, then getting a divorce, and then marrying Chu Xi openly after his grandmother passed away, was the best option at the moment.
But for some reason, just thinking of the word divorce made his chest feel tight and he couldn't breathe. All that came to his mind was the ease and freedom they had when they were together.
Chu Shaoting took a deep breath.
He knew that these were two completely different women.
Chu Xi has a domineering and tough personality. If he hadn't taken the initiative to share the burden, she would have borne everything by herself. In addition, she has been friends since childhood and he accompanied her during the most painful period.
To him, Chu Xi is absolutely unique in this world.
Lin Chunhuan is cute and looks gentle and dignified, but she actually has a very strong temper. She dares to love and hate, is calm and natural, and her rich knowledge and advanced ideas can help him a lot both in business and military.
The most important thing is that Chu Shaoting can feel the presence of home in Lin Chunhuan.
This feeling made him sink into it, obsessed and almost unable to extricate himself.
“Ding-ling-ling…”
Just when neither of them was willing to give in, the phone at home rang again, breaking the solemn atmosphere.
Wang Ma answered the phone and raised her head, not daring to look at Chu Shaoting. She only looked at Lin Chunhuan cautiously, "Madam, it's for you."
"Chu Shaoting, people shouldn't be too greedy. They always want to have it all."
Leaving these words behind, Lin Chunhuan walked downstairs and held the receiver. It took him a while to calm down, "Who is this?"
"What do you want to do?"
On the other end of the receiver, Qin Song's voice was low and cold, and there was a faint sound of a man's howling.
Lin Chunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
I have to say that Qin Song is very capable. Has he already taken care of Yu En?
I don’t know how Chu Xi is doing now. I’m afraid she is extremely panicked and anxious to get Chu Shaoting’s protection.
Lin Chunhuan raised his head and looked at Chu Shaoting who was still in a daze on the second floor. "Has the material for the clothes I saw last time arrived?"
"Then I'll go over and take measurements tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chunhuan told Wang Ma that he would use the car to go out tomorrow, and he never came out after entering the guest room.
On the other hand, Wang Ma, seeing Chu Shaoting also enter the house and close the door, carefully entered the old lady's room and said, "Old Madam, I'm afraid the young mistress is really angry this time."
The old lady leaned against the head of the bed and asked Wang Ma to repeat what they had just quarreled about, her brows furrowed.
"One more thing."
Wang Ma hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "Young Madam, no one usually calls except the Jiao family, but today she received two calls."
"He's a man. Judging from his tone, he doesn't sound like Mr. Jiao."
The old lady's brows darkened. "Don't talk nonsense. Huihui stays at home all day. Whenever she goes out, it's always me or Shao Ting who accompanies her."
"She is different from Chu Xi, a shameless person."
Wang Ma nodded in agreement and stepped forward to tuck the corner of the quilt for the old lady. "That's not what I meant."
"It's just... Old Madam, please don't think my words are harsh. The Young Madam definitely didn't think of divorce for no reason. From the way she sounded, she doesn't even want to fight for the child. This is not normal."
"Today, besides being angry at the eldest lady, I'm afraid there are other things going on. Although we don't suspect the young mistress, if we don't think of a solution, I'm afraid that such a good girl like the young mistress will really be disheartened by the eldest lady's affairs."
Although the old lady frowned, there was a hint of agreement between her brows. "Do you have a solution?"
Aunt Wang was able to stay in the Chu family villa and serve the old lady personally for so many years. If she was stupid and not very smart, she would have been kicked out long ago.
"I think it's not appropriate to let the young lady stay outside all the time. How can the flowers in that garden be as fragrant as the wild flowers? Isn't this tempting the young marshal?"
"Instead of this, it's better to let the young lady come back."
Before Wang Ma could finish her words, the old lady's face turned cold, "Impossible!"
"I said, I will never let that bitch Chu Xi enter my Chu family in this lifetime!"
Wang Ma's face turned bitter when she heard this. "My old lady, do you really want to watch the young mistress and the young commander get divorced?"
Obviously, the old lady couldn't bear to hear the word divorce. Although her face was full of resistance, she took a deep breath and looked at Wang Ma, "Go on."
"What I mean is, let the eldest lady come in and let her serve tea to the young mistress! And then set some rules, and make the young master promise that no matter what the circumstances, he will never allow the eldest lady to become his wife."
"Besides, having them right under your nose is much better than letting them do whatever they want outside!"
The old lady hadn't made up her mind yet. When Lin Chunhuan heard what Wang Ma said, a cold look appeared on her face. "I didn't realize that Wang Ma was the last chess piece Chu Xi left for me."
