Chapter 109 I Don't Care
Wang Lan was obviously not in the mood to work now, and she had finished all the work she needed to do. Seeing that she looked absent-minded, Liu Yu gave her a few days off.
Wang Lan thanked Liu Yu gratefully, then left in a hurry without saying anything more.
It was not until they rushed all the way back home that Wang Lan realized that Ke Xian was not living with her at all.
Thinking about how she had easily agreed to let Ke Xian live with Yuan Ximu, Wang Lan felt regretful.
But there was no point regretting now, she had to find out whether it was true or not. With her hands almost shaking, she dialed Ke Xian's number.
Ke Xian was obviously still at work. He answered the phone after a while, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked her what was wrong.
When Wang Lan heard Ke Xian's voice, she was furious. She asked directly, "Ke Xian, how long do you want to deceive me?"
Ke Xian was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding: "Wife, what are you talking about? How did I lie to you? Did you misunderstand something?"
Wang Lan didn't expect that Ke Xian would still choose to conceal the truth. She couldn't help crying, "You lied to me. What did you do the night you came back very late?"
At that time, Wang Lan asked Ke Xian why he came back so late. Ke Xian said that he was drinking with his friends and accidentally got drunk. He just woke up and came back in a hurry.
At that time, Wang Lan did not completely believe what Ke Xian said, but Ke Xian behaved very normally before and after getting drunk, so Wang Lan slowly put the matter behind her and never mentioned it again, which meant that she believed what Ke Xian said.
Ke Xian thought that the matter was over long ago, but because of the mistake that night, he tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep all night.
That time was really an accident. He was drunk and Yuan Ximu came right up to him. He thought Yuan Ximu was his wife, so...
After waking up, Ke Xian was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He had originally felt very guilty towards Yuan Ximu, but who knew that Yuan Ximu took the initiative to propose it and then secretly be with him behind Wang Lan's back.
Combined with the fact that Yuan Ximu kept pouring him wine before he got drunk, Ke Xian almost immediately realized that Yuan Ximu had done all this on purpose.
After Ke Xian figured it out, the guilt in his heart immediately disappeared, and was replaced by anger. He questioned Yuan Ximu: "Why did you do this? How can I face Wang Lan?!"
"Don't you men think with your lower body?" Yuan Ximu had his own reasons: "You took advantage of me tonight, and I don't want anything from you. I can be with you secretly without Lanlan finding out, right?"
Yuan Ximu's calling her "Lan Lan" made Ke Xian feel sick. At this time, Yuan Ximu had done such a thing, but she could still call Wang Lan so affectionately. Ke Xian just thought this woman was terrible.
He broke out in a cold sweat on his back and immediately rejected Yuan Ximuhuangmu's idea. He didn't want to say anything more and hurried back home.
He hurried back that night, and it was obvious that Wang Lan was a little suspicious about what he had done outside.
Ke Xian was worried that Wang Lan would find out, and he was also worried that Yuan Ximu would tell Wang Lan. He was in a state of panic the whole day.
Fortunately, a long time passed and Wang Lan didn't discover anything. Yuan Ximu was actually very well behaved and had no intention of telling Wang Lan.
He had no idea that Yuan Ximu had her own considerations. If she told Wang Lan about this now, she would have no chance with Ke Xian in the future.
So she chose to keep it secret.
A period of time passed peacefully and Ke Xian had almost forgotten about the matter. Unexpectedly, Wang Lan came to him one day to discuss a fake marriage between him and Yuan Ximu.
Naturally, Ke Xian was unwilling to agree. He and Yuan Ximu both knew what had happened. Now Yuan Ximu suddenly wanted a fake marriage, and it was really hard for Ke Xian not to think too much.
However, he soon discovered that he had no choice but to agree to this matter.
Yuan Ximu threatened him that if he didn't agree, he would tell Wang Lan what happened between them: "You may not know that I took photos at the time. How do you think Wang Lan would react after seeing it?"
Ke Xian's face flushed with anger: "Didn't you...say that this matter is over?"
Yuan Ximu: "When did I agree to let this go?"
Ke Xian was extremely angry, but he knew Yuan Ximu was capable of doing it, so he finally agreed to a fake marriage with her on the condition that Yuan Ximu deleted all those photos.
But within two days, Yuan Ximu became more demanding and asked him to move out.
In the end, due to various reasons, Ke Xian had no choice but to compromise.
He felt that he and Wang Lan seemed to have fallen into Yuan Ximu's trap step by step, and were destined to not escape unscathed.
So, after hearing Wang Lan's question, Ke Xian bowed his head and said, "Wife, I'm sorry..."
Wang Lan was stunned for a long time. Although she had made many guesses before, she still couldn't accept it the moment Ke Xian actually admitted it.
She cried and kept questioning Ke Xian why he did this. Her emotions were almost breaking down.
Ke Xian also explained to her again and again: "Whether you believe it or not, it was really an accident that night. I don't know if Yuan Ximu did anything. Anyway, I really didn't collude with Yuan Ximu to deceive you. You believe me!"
Wang Lan: "Did you know that Yuan Ximu is pregnant with your child?"
"How is that possible? She clearly said she was with someone else..." Ke Xian obviously didn't know the truth yet.
The reason why Yuan Ximu didn't tell Ke Xian was that she was afraid that he would be cruel and force her to abort the child, so she decided to stabilize Ke Xian first, and continued her marriage to Ke Xian on the grounds that the child needed to be registered. When the child was born, when Ke Xian saw how adorable their child was, would he have the heart to abandon them?
Yuan Ximu had a good plan, but he didn't expect that Wang Lan and Ke Xian would still find out.
Because she was pregnant, Yuan Ximu's house was about to be demolished and she was not short of money, so the moment she found out she was pregnant, she called the company and resigned.
Yuan Ximu was happily looking at clothes for her baby on the Internet when there was a hurried knock on the door.
She frowned, slowly stood up, and muttered, "Really? I wonder if there is a pregnant woman at home?"
As soon as the door opened, Yuan Ximu was a little surprised when he saw the people at the door: "Lanlan, Ke Xian, why are you here together?"
Yuan Ximu felt a little unhappy. Although Ke Xian was her husband in name only, they both knew the actual relationship.
She deliberately forgot all this and wanted to pretend that she and Ke Xian were a real couple, but Wang Lan always seemed to remind her that everything was fake.
No, Yuan Ximu touched her belly and thought, it will come true soon.
Yuan Ximu was thinking when Wang Lan suddenly asked loudly, "Yuan Ximu, I trust you so much, are you worthy of me? How dare you scheme against me like this!"
Yuan Ximu was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Lanlan, what are you talking about?"
Wang Lan reached out her hand and was about to push her: "Are you still pretending? What's the matter with the baby in your belly? It's my husband's, right? You also said that you have no interest in him at all. It seems like you are playing me for a fool!"
Yuan Ximu frowned, afraid that Wang Lan would hurt the child, so she immediately dodged. She looked at Ke Xian: "Ke Xian, don't you have anything to say? The baby in my belly is yours!"
Ke Xian's face turned green. He never thought that Yuan Ximu would admit it directly. And it was only that one time, but Yuan Ximu really got pregnant...
Ke Xian refused to admit it no matter what he said: "You know exactly why I did that. I don't think I can admit it."
Yuan Ximu couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that she and the child together were not as important as Wang Lan. She was so angry that her face twisted: "Ke Xian, you are so cruel. If that's the case, I won't pretend to be with you anymore."
Yuan Ximu immediately changed her expression. She looked at Wang Lan and scolded her, "Wang Lan, you stinky mistress, you interfered with my relationship with my husband, and now you want to instigate me to divorce my husband, right?"
Wang Lan almost laughed out of anger. She became a mistress?
Yuan Ximu continued, "Ke Xian and I are a legal couple recognized by the state. After I married him, he lived with you. It would have been fine if I hadn't caused you any trouble, but you actually came to my house to make trouble."
Ke Xian: "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't you know whether we are really husband and wife?"
Yuan Ximu: "It doesn't matter whether I know or not. What matters is that our relationship is protected by law!"
Wang Lan was so angry that she pointed at Yuan Ximu with trembling fingers: "You...you..."
She was speechless for a long time.
Ke Xian quickly patted her on the shoulder to calm her down. He looked at Yuan Ximu and said directly, "Let's get a divorce. We don't want the 150,000 yuan anymore!"
"You actually want to divorce me?" Yuan Ximu's voice became shrill due to the stimulation, and she shouted: "Impossible, Ke Xian, I'm pregnant with your child!"
Yuan Ximu: "Go ahead and sue me if you dare. Even if you sue me in court, you can't divorce me! I've consulted a lawyer and you can't file for divorce while I'm pregnant or one year after giving birth!"
Originally, Yuan Ximu planned to use this as a bargaining chip if Ke Xian still wanted to divorce her after she gave birth to the child. She didn't believe that Ke Xian would still have the heart to divorce her when the child was one year old.
But it doesn't matter if she says it now. Anyway, she is pregnant with Ke Xian's child now, so the other party can't divorce her no matter what.
Wang Lan and Ke Xian almost fainted when they heard her words. This meant that Ke Xian would have to remain married to Yuan Ximu for nearly two years.
Two years later, the day lilies have become cold.
Wang Lan now regrets so much that she wants to slap herself. Why did she agree to such a fake marriage in the first place?
Moreover, now when she thought about the fact that Yuan Ximu was pregnant with Ke Xian's child, she felt disgusted enough.
Regardless of whether Yuan Ximu used the demolition to deceive her, the fact that cannot be changed is that Ke Xian did do something wrong to her.
Moreover, the other party was cheating on her during their marriage. If she hadn't known about it in advance, she would probably have to wait until Yuan Ximu gave birth to the child before she knew everything.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ximu's expression when looking at Ke Xian changed subtly.
At that time, Ke Xian was still arguing with Yuan Ximu. He didn't like Yuan Ximu at all, and he couldn't accept continuing his marriage with her for two years.
Moreover, he knew Wang Lan. Given her personality, if he had done something wrong, she would probably divorce him.
No, now they don't even have the name of marriage, so there is no need for divorce. Thinking of this, Ke Xian felt more and more panic.
How could he be so careless that he had sex with Yuan Ximu after drinking!
Just when Ke Xian was feeling extremely regretful, he turned around and met Wang Lan's slightly cold gaze.
Ke Xian's heart tightened, and he felt a fear that a bad guess would become a reality. He swallowed and asked dryly, "Wife, why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Lan asked fiercely: "Ke Xian, why didn't you tell me when you did this?!"
Ke Xian had no way to refute it because everything was true. He could only keep apologizing to Wang Lan and beg for her forgiveness.
Yuan Ximu couldn't bear to see them doing well, so he came over and said, "Lanlan, if I were you, I would cut ties with him. How about this, I'll still give you the 150,000 yuan, and you promise to have nothing to do with him from now on?"
Yuan Ximu also said with reason: "No matter how ridiculous his words are, it can't change the fact that he cheated on me. There are only zero times and countless times of cheating. Are you sure you want to continue to reconcile with this man?"
Ke Xian looked at Yuan Ximu sternly and said through gritted teeth: "Yuan Ximu, are you sick? Can't you bear to see me get better?"
Yuan Ximu didn't say anything. She did this because she wanted to be with Ke Xian. As long as Wang Lan didn't want her anymore, she didn't believe that Ke Xian would divorce her!
Yuan Ximu knew Wang Lan very well. Now that things had come to this point, Wang Lan and Ke Xian were basically finished.
Sure enough, Wang Lan looked at Ke Xian and said, "I can't accept this, Ke Xian, let's end it like this."
Ke Xian's eyes widened in shock and he kept explaining to Wang Lan, while Yuan Ximu on the side smiled happily.
Wang Lan turned around and looked at Yuan Ximu with disgust: "I don't care about your 150,000 yuan. If you really think you can get the happiness you want in this way, you are really too naive."
Wang Lan did need money, but she would rather not have it since it was almost an insult to her.
Besides, Yuan Ximu is not a pushover either. Who knows if the other party will change his mind after a while and want the money back.
It's really annoying to get in touch with such a person again, so it's better to break up with him once and for all.
"Thank you for your blessing, this is what I want." Yuan Ximu tilted his head and smiled at Wang Lan.
Wang Lan couldn't stay here any longer, so she turned around and left without stopping because of Ke Xian's call.
"Well, seeing how cruel Wang Lan is, just continue to live with me." Yuan Ximu ignored Ke Xian's vicious look and took his arm: "If I remember correctly, when you divorced Wang Lan, you left the house with nothing. You have nothing now and nowhere to go, so just follow me. I will support you."
At first, Ke Xian and Wang Lan considered that if Ke Xian married Yuan Ximu, there would be trouble with various financial issues after marriage, so they simply let Ke Xian leave the house without any worries about their financial issues.
Ke Xian shook off Yuan Ximu's hand and said fiercely, "Impossible! I would rather sleep on the street than be with you!"
Let alone liking Yuan Ximu now, Ke Xian simply hates him. In his opinion, Yuan Ximu is the culprit who destroyed his peaceful life!
Yuan Ximu was pushed away by him forcefully. Without a second thought, she sat down on the ground, and her stomach suddenly felt painful.
She was in the first few months of her pregnancy and the fetus had not yet stabilized, so how could she withstand such a fall?
Yuan Ximu covered her stomach in pain and asked Ke Xian for help: "Ke Xian, please...please take me to the hospital quickly, my stomach...my stomach hurts so much...please, please take me to the hospital quickly..."
Ke Xian hesitated for a moment, then thought of what Yuan Ximu had done. His heart suddenly hardened and he sneered, "Why are you pretending? What tricks are you trying to pull?"
Yuan Ximu didn't expect Ke Xian really didn't care about her. She wailed loudly and reached out her hand and felt something wet. She raised her hand and saw a hand full of bright red blood.
Yuan Ximu's face turned pale instantly: "Ke Xian, the child...the child..."
When Ke Xian saw that Yuan Ximu was bleeding from his body, he finally realized that the other party was not pretending. He quickly picked up Yuan Ximu and rushed him to the hospital.
Unfortunately, the baby was sent there too late, and Yuan Ximu's child could not be saved.
Ke Xian stood beside the bed, looking at Yuan Ximu with a dazed expression, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He wanted to apologize to Yuan Ximu, but when he thought about what the other person had done, he just couldn't say it.
Yuan Ximu noticed his expression and smiled miserably: "Ke Xian, do you hate me so much?"
Ke Xian really wanted to say "yes", but in the end he didn't say it.
Yuan Ximu started crying while laughing: "I promise you, let's get a divorce."
Ke Xian immediately looked at her in surprise: "Really? Are you really willing to divorce me?"
Yuan Ximu stared at Ke Xian blankly, but couldn't help tightening her fingers and reminding him: "You have to think clearly. Even if you divorce me, with Wang Lan's personality, it is impossible for her to remarry you."
"Of course I know. I know her better than you." This was also the reason why Ke Xian did not dare to tell Wang Lan what happened between him and Yuan Ximu after he was drunk.
Even if he didn't mean it, Wang Lan would not forgive him.
Yuan Ximu asked again: "Isn't it good for you to be with me? Now that Wang Lan doesn't want you anymore, why not choose me? I'm not ugly, and I have money..."
"What you've done makes me not want to see you anymore." Ke Xian said in an almost cruel and calm tone.
Yuan Ximu laughed angrily: "You are so cruel."
Perhaps it was the cruelty of Ke Xian who wished her dead when she fell that finally made Yuan Ximu wake up. Even if she managed to live with this man, she would probably not have an easy life.
In this case, Yuan Ximu: "Okay, I will divorce you."
——
After Qi Nian heard the follow-up of the incident from Liu Yu, he didn't know what to say.
"I'm very curious about how handsome Ke Xian is. As for why Yuan Ximu has achieved such a level." Liu Yu couldn't understand Yuan Ximu's train of thought.
Qi thought: "Maybe it's just obsession."
When Yuan Ximu saw how happy Wang Lan and Ke Xian were together, she had the idea of winning Ke Xian away. Later, when Wang Lan and Ke Xian broke up, her attitude suddenly changed.
Perhaps it was because of the hatred and indifference that Ke Xian showed when she fell. However, it was not like Ke Xian had not shown it before, and she didn't care. Why did her attitude change at this moment?
Perhaps she herself did not realize that her feelings for Ke Xian were not love at all, but just an obsession to snatch him back from Wang Lan.
Sometimes obsession is much more terrifying than simple love.
"Now that you put it that way, it really is like that." Liu Yu suddenly expressed her understanding: "In fact, I am also very obsessed with one person."
"Ah?" Qi Nian was shocked and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
I haven't heard who Liu Yu is interested in?
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Of course it's the God of Wealth!"
Qi Nian: “…” Suddenly understood.
At this moment, Qi Nian checked the time, slapped his head, and quickly opened his phone: "Oh, I almost forgot, fortunately it's okay."
Liu Yu propped up her chin, sipped her soda and asked him curiously, "What did you forget? Why are you so anxious?"
Qi Nian paused, coughed lightly, and explained embarrassedly that he wanted to remind Chu Rongshi to eat.
Qi Nian said with a distressed look on his face: "He never eats on time. Oh, I have to supervise him carefully."
Liu Yu: "You can't do that."
Qi Nian was puzzled: "Huh?"
Liu Yu explained: "People are like this. The more strict you are with them, the less they care. This is the bad nature of people. And over time, they will become dependent on your reminders. If you stop reminding them one day, they might go back to their old ways."
Qi Nian hesitated when he heard this: "I don't think so."
Besides, his brother is so self-disciplined!
Well, I’m not that disciplined when it comes to eating on time.
Liu Yu bit the straw and said, "Then think about it yourself, is it that he only eats when you remind him?"
Qi Nian glanced at his phone. After he sent the reminder message, Chu Rongshi really quickly took a photo of the lunch and came over.
It’s just that it was obviously just opened and I haven’t had time to eat it yet.
Obviously, he was a little late today! Qi Nian puffed up his cheeks angrily and didn't want to say anything.
The next day at noon, Qi Nian was about to remind Chu Rongshi that it was time for lunch, when Liu Yu's words suddenly popped up in his mind again.
He hesitated. How could he keep asking him to remind him? What if one day he stopped reminding him, wouldn't Chu Rongshi go back to his irregular eating habits?
Well, no, Chu Rongshi has to take the initiative to develop a good habit of eating three meals regularly.
Thinking of this, Qi Nian hardened his heart and refused to send out the reminder message.
But he still couldn't be completely at ease and had to check his phone from time to time.
Chu Rongshi still hadn't sent a message. Qi Nian let out a breath, took out a book and opened it to divert his attention.
Wow, this question is so difficult, I need to study it...
On the other side, Chu Rongshi finished the meeting, leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, and asked the assistant beside him: "What time is it?"
The assistant glanced at his watch and immediately said, "Boss, it's already half past one."
Chu Rongshi opened his eyes instantly and thought it was all over. He didn't know how anxious Qi Nian was.
He hurriedly asked his assistant to buy lunch, then turned on his cell phone, ready to apologize.
As a result, when I opened the chat box, I found that the chat history with Qi Nian was still before the meeting.
Chu Rongshi: “?”
He refreshed the page again in disbelief, but the page still did not change.
Chu Rongshi frowned and sent a message to Ning Min.
[Chu Rongshi]: Mom, what was Nian Nian doing just now?
[Ning Min]: I went downstairs, stretched out by the window, got a glass of water, and went back upstairs.
Chu Rongshi: “?”
He slid his fingers slowly, his eyes falling on the messages in the record that reminded him to eat seriously, and he didn't understand what the problem was.
The feelings have faded, I don't care anymore.jpg
