Chapter 16 I Won't Divorce
After returning to the villa, Jiang Huaixu got out of the car and took Zhuzhu out of the child seat.
Just as he was thinking of carrying her home, Zhuzhu started struggling in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaixu put her on the ground, squatted down and looked at her.
Zhuzhu shook her head and reached out to hold his hand.
Jiang Huaixu then stood up and pulled her forward. After walking two steps, Zhuzhu suddenly stopped and turned to look at the person following behind.
Xu Chunian quickened his pace. Zhuzhu, who had one hand in a cast, walked forward after the three of them moved in unison.
The street lights outside the villa stretched the shadows of the three people very long.

After Zhuzhu came back, she was carried by the servant to take a bath. Zhuzhu, who was less than three years old, could sleep well by herself. She was not afraid when she lay on the bed with a small lamp on the bedside.
Xu Chunian pushed open the door of the baby's room carrying the medicine box. Zhuzhu was lying with her back to the window.
Xu Chunian lifted the quilt and looked at her knees. The place where she fell last night had turned into a purple bruise, and the broken skin had scabs formed.
She applied some medicine and tiptoed out of the bedroom. After she closed the door, the little person on the bed moved, sat up, lifted the quilt and stared at his knees in a daze, glanced at the door blankly, then lay down in the quilt obediently and grabbed the pig doll next to him in his hand.
When Xu Chunian went downstairs to put away the medicine box, the study on the second floor happened to be opened. Her heart tightened. To be honest, she had just confessed her love to him, and when she woke up, he became her husband. This was strange no matter how she looked at it.
Even when she was pursuing him before, she had to create various chance encounters and ask about his well-being. Although Jiang Huaixu was indifferent at that time, he didn't hate her so much. When he just came over yesterday, the way he looked at her was like, they had been married for too long, and time had smoothed out their passionate love, leaving only fatigue and compromise with life.
As soon as Jiang Huaixu opened the door, he saw Xu Chunian hesitating at the stairs. Her behavior had been very abnormal since yesterday, whether it was towards Zhuzhu or the hot soup served to him tonight. He pulled the corners of his lips in self-mockery. A bowl of soup almost broke down his psychological defenses.
The light in the corridor was not too bright, but when it shone on her, her exposed skin was as white as porcelain. Xu Chunian's beauty was not aggressive at all, and her appearance was very comfortable, especially her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be able to speak and were always filled with water. Zhuzhu's eyes were completely inherited from her.
Surrounded by shadows, Xu Chunian looked up. The dim corridor lights illuminated Jiang Huaixu's tall figure. His unclear facial features were sharp and cold even under the soft light.
He seemed to frown, "Why are you crying?"
Xu Chunian was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched his cheek, and felt something wet.
Why do we cry?
Jiang Huaixu looked at her with a deep, distant gaze, and an emotion she couldn't understand. Even during the years she had been chasing him, she had never seen such a cold gaze fall on her.
"You're so mean," she accused.
Jiang Huaixu pursed his lips and sneered, "I said, no matter what tricks you use, don't even think about getting a divorce."
As he spoke, he slightly turned aside and passed her as they went downstairs. Xu Chunian called out to him, "Jiang Huaixu!"
"I won't divorce you, and I will treat Zhuzhu well."
The man paused for a moment, didn't say anything, and walked straight downstairs.
Xu Chunian curled her lips. She didn't want to get divorced but she was pretending to be cool.
