      Old Lovers Meet Again - Cang Yangjiaoyue

      YOU

      CHAPTER 1 - MR XI YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE IN MY FREEDOM

      The summer solstice is the old man's birthday every year.

      It was still early in the morning when people began to bring gifts in succession. Lu Qingli went back and forth on the floor barefooted as she moved the gifts one by one to the room upstairs.

      Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She wiped her forehead, walked over to the vertical air conditioner, picked up the remote control, and pressed a button.

      Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind him, Don't blow on the air conditioner, you'll catch a cold.

      Her back froze for a moment, she turned, and suddenly saw a smiling Xi Muyao.

      Qingli did not make a sound, she only walked towards him and swept a cold glance over him before taking the box from him. On top of the box, it said: Wishing Father-in-law luck and good health.

      Heh. The rest of the family were all upstairs, so she didn't feel the need to put on such a show here.

      Qingli, you should be obedient. He looked at her, still standing under the air conditioner, and frowned.

      Obedient!?

      If she hadn't been so obedient from the start, she wouldn't have fallen to such a state! Although Lu Qingli wasn't as tyrannical and stubborn as Lu Qinghuan, she,, wasn't someone who would allow others to trample over her character!

      I'm sorry, Mr. Xi, but I think you have no right to interfere with my freedom. Your former father-in-law is upstairs. If you want to act out the role of a good son-in-law, you shouldn't waste your precious time here.

      She pointed to the stairs.

      He looked at her angry eyes, which were sparkling like fireworks, bright and proud. The current her was no longer the same docile Lu Qingli.

      In the past, although she was proud and stubborn, she would always listen to him. Think of everything for him.

      Every family party, every trip, she had silently helped him take care of everything, and sometimes he thought that doing that for himself was like simply doing the duty of a wife. And in her heart, did she ever have him …

      Xi Muyao silently looked at the calm and collected her, and after a long while, he turned and went upstairs.

      Lu Qingli stood on the spot, and looked at his tall and straight back, and only felt a fiery, stinging pain in her eyes.

      If she could, she wished that she could stay away from him, even further.

      If she didn't see him, she wouldn't love him, and she wouldn't hate him, right?

      However, from the beginning, she was the one who could not decide on their marriage.

      As the daughter of a mayor, her background and identity undoubtedly affected her life, including her marriage.

      She had thought that it would be good to marry him, to be a docile and competent wife, and since they were not sincere, she didn't have to worry about being hurt one day.

      However, she had actually thought of herself as being too powerful. That man called Xi Muyao, was so outstanding, how could she not fall into depravity?

      She had even naively thought that they were a match made in heaven.

      You see, he's so good, so young, so good at business, and so gentle and considerate. As the mayor of the city, she was a dazzling genius, and she had always been the object of public interest and discussion.

      However, she didn't expect that after only two years of marriage, it would still end in a crushing defeat.

      A bell sound suddenly broke Qingli's train of thought, she picked up the phone, but before she could speak, the other party had already started shouting: Sis! I got off the plane! We still have twenty minutes to get home on time!

      Hearing Qinghuan's voice, Qingli's brain immediately became a lot calmer. She smiled and replied.

      Of course, it's not that far. It'll only take a few hours to get there. I'm hanging up. Bye bye!"

      Just as Qingli said good, she heard the little girl add another sentence. Tell Brother-in-law to prepare some osmanthus cake for me!

      Qingli silently hung up the phone, pretending she did not hear anything.

      CHAPTER 2 - BROTHER-IN-LAW YOU WEREN'T LIKE THIS BEFORE

      She held her forehead as she felt the pain from the explosion. The sweat on her forehead had long since been dried by the cold air from the air conditioner. At this moment, her nose was a little stuffy.

      She frowned, thinking, I can't possibly fail to catch a cold, right?

      If Xi Muyao saw this, she would have to listen to his nagging again. Those concerns that would never have belonged to her again, she didn't want at all.

      It was enough, she felt.

      After today, after this summer solstice, the old man's mood improved a little, or else she would have just told him the truth.

      Sure enough, after hanging up, less than half an hour later, Lu Qinghuan arrogantly opened the doorbell.

      Just as Qingli was about to turn around, she saw that the nanny, Nanny Liu, had already walked to the door and hurriedly opened it.

      The Lu Qinghuan in front of her, after one year of not seeing her, had actually become even more charming and moving. However, the sharpness in her eyes did not change at all, they looked exactly the same as Old Master Lu's.

      Nanny Liu and Qinghuan greeted each other warmly and Qinghuan took out a fur coat from her luggage. The wrinkles on Nanny Liu's face deepened.

      It was only when Qingli could not hold back her laughter and coughed lightly that Qinghuan finally regained her senses and ran over to hug her.

      Sis, you're even more beautiful now!

      Although Qinghuan had an arrogant and habitual attitude, she talked quite softly to Wu Nong. When she was not angry, she looked just like a little kitten.

      Damned girl, do you remember your sister?! Hurry up, go upstairs. The old man is getting impatient, if you don't appear now, you'll get angry again. "

      Alright, got it. Does he really miss me?

      With that said, Qinghuan curled her lips and walked towards the stairs.

      Back then, when she was determined to marry that Jiangnan scholar, the old man really did throw a lot of tantrums, leaving her with no relationship between father and son. However, Qinghuan had always been pampered at home, and even if she hadn't given in, the old man would actually compromise in the end.

      Sometimes, Qingli couldn't help but think that if she hadn't followed his plan in the beginning, and instead married to the man she missed in her heart, wouldn't the end be like this?

      Seeing Qinghuan, the old man's face swept through the haze that had hung over his face. Even though he didn't say much on the surface, Qingli could still see from the bottom of his eyes that his birthday was going to be even happier than every year it had been in the past.

      The lunch was held at the biggest clubhouse in the city, as Xi Muyao entertained the guests while laughing until his face and muscles were a little stiff.

      During the meal, Qinghuan was searching all over the huge table, when she suddenly screamed: Brother-in-law! Where's my osmanthus cake? Didn't my sister tell you?

      Xi Muyao was startled for a moment, then raised his head and quickly glanced at Qingli. Qingli was picking at the plate with his head lowered, bored, but her attention was suddenly interrupted.

      Just as he was about to explain, he heard Xi Muyao say in a bland voice, Oh, I'm really too busy today. Tomorrow, Brother-in-law will buy it for you, okay?

      You weren't like this in the past, every time you came to my house you would bring them. Why is it that once you get my sister, you don't even put me, your sister-in-law, in your eyes?

      Qinghuan pouted, causing everyone around the table to laugh.

      Someone echoed Lu Jinghao and complimented him, Mayor Lu, your third young miss is so pretty, and her eloquence is so amazing!

      When Lu Jinghao heard it, he immediately waved his hands, No need for that, I've been spoiled since I was young. Everyone, don't laugh at me!

      Although he said this, his eyes were full of smiles.

      CHAPTER 3 - IN CASE YOU HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR FATHER IS

      Qingli looked at them with a smile. Just as she was about to say something, a ding sound came from the side of the bowl and a pair of chopsticks reached out. She tilted her head and looked right into Xi Muyao's eyes.

      Eat more. You don't look too good.

      His voice was truly filled with tenderness.

      Gouge. Brother-in-law is indeed so considerate! The corners of Qinghuan's eyes were filled with a light smile.

      Xi Muyao smiled at her, then lowered his head in silence.

      Lu Jinghao stared at the two sisters' expressions, and saw everything in the eyes of Lu Qingge, who was sitting on the table next door.

      Qingge had never liked Qingli and Qinghuan, even though the actual benefits she received was far greater than the two of them.

      At this moment, she was arranged to receive guests alone at a different table while her family enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Naturally, she had endless complaints. However, she understood that these emotions couldn't be displayed on her face in the slightest.

      After enduring for so long, her heart was already built up. How could she be weak because of this moment? Thinking this way, he picked up the wine cup, stood up, and walked straight towards the table.

      Dad, your daughter wishes you a toast first. I wish you good luck and a life even longer than Nanshan. In addition, your political achievements will definitely be glorious! Then, he raised his head and a red liquid flowed down his throat.

      Lu Jinghao nodded, he picked up the wine cup by the side and took a sip, then laughed: Okay, go and entertain the guests then, after eating, I will accompany Qinghuan on a stroll, she hasn't come home for a long time, there must be many places she wants to go to! Qingge agreed obediently and returned to her seat.

      After eating for a long time, the topic of conversation revolved around the few of them, and then, it quickly returned to the true needs of their hearts. Qingli watched their mouths move, and only felt her entire body heat up, calling the waiter over to adjust the air conditioning several times, but in the end, she was still unable to remove the ball of steam in his chest.

      As if seeing her displeasure, Qinghuan quietly went over and whispered into her ear: Sis, what's wrong, are you alright?

      Qingli rubbed her temples, and forced out a smile: It's okay, it's a little hot.

      Then let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

      Yes.

      Qingli stood up, and while his father and those old fellows were chatting passionately, she slipped out with Qinghuan along with them.

      When he came downstairs, the sun was blazing brightly outside, so how could he take a breath of air? Qingli felt even more uncomfortable.

      Sis, sit here and wait. I'll go get you some water.

      With that said, Qinghuan ran over like a wisp of smoke. Qingli sat in the resting area at the door and looked at the cars passing by outside the window. Her fingers unconsciously caressed her lower abdomen.

      After another month, his stomach would almost show. What should he do then?

      Was it because she was pregnant with her father for four months, yet she had already divorced Xi Muyao for three months?

      Or should I tell Xi Muyao that our lies will continue on forever, because I am already pregnant? These two pieces were enough for her to dig into the ground and never come out again.

      As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, If you're not feeling well, then go to the hospital. Look. Alright.

      Qingli turned around, her face was filled with barely visible anger, and stared at him: I already said, I do not need you to meddle in my matters!

      Lu Qingli! Xi Muyao's eyes were filled with impatience. Don't not know what's good for you!

      Don't know what's good for you? I don't know what's good for me?! Since I don't know what's good for me, don't bother about me! I don't want to hide our matters anymore. In a while, when the old man comes home tonight, I'll tell him everything. From now on, you better enjoy your freedom and marry that woman! Otherwise, if I give birth to two children, I might not even know who their father is!

      No matter how well-educated she was, when she saw the man in front of her who she had betrayed and still had the confidence in, she had already felt as if her entire body had collapsed.

      CHAPTER 4 - HYPOGLYCEMIA DURING PREGNANCY?

      Seeing the lady in front of him suddenly become so hostile and aggressive, with a misty look slowly appearing in his eyes, the anger in Xi Muyao's eyes gradually disappeared. It had always been like this in the past. Every time they argued, every time they were unhappy, it was her fault first. In the end, it would always be him who begged for mercy.

      As long as she put on that expression, as if she had been wronged, he would never be able to bear it.

      This time was no exception. Of course, this time, it wasn't her fault.

      Therefore, she could make him soften his heart and fill him with guilt.

      Alright, Qingli, I was wrong. How many times have I admitted to this? Don't be angry anymore, okay?

      Seeing that Yue Yang had used such a low and gentle voice to speak to her again, Qingli turned her head away coldly, not wanting to let herself be moved.

      He only hated that Qinghuan had not returned yet.

      As for the other matter you mentioned, you should confess it later. If the Old Master were to fly into a rage, we wouldn't be able to imagine it.

      Qingli turned back and stared at him, Are you afraid? I'm not even afraid, what are you afraid of?

      Xi Muyao lowered his head and did not speak. He continued to ask, I was afraid that that Lin Yeyan of yours would not be able to take the vat. Do you feel pain in the heart because of the pressure or because of what she says? If she was afraid, she wouldn't have acted so arrogantly, and wouldn't have come running right in front of me with his stomach full! Rest assured, she is not such a weak woman. Her mental fortitude is much better than yours and mine.

      Qingli spoke straightforwardly and viciously. It made Xi Muyao unable to catch a single sentence.

      He was as selfish as ever. The only things he could think about were himself and his family members around him. Originally, because Qingli was his relative, she felt that he was selfish. But in reality, she only understood at the end that what he was protecting was only something that belonged to him. It didn't mean that he loved her very much.

      Back then, she had been like an accessory to him, so at home, he was the center. Outside, if she had been wronged, he would be the first one to step out and help her.

      In truth, she had clearly seen through him long ago, but she always wanted to deceive herself, thinking that in his heart, she would always have a different status.

      Thinking about it here, Qingli's chest felt even more stifled, and she didn't want to stay any longer in front of this man. Straight over his shoulder, past him. However, at that moment, her vision went black and she fell down with a thud.

      Sis!

      Qinghuan just happened to walk out from inside with a cup in her hand, and saw Qingli pouring it into Xi Muyao's arms.

      Sis? Qinghuan ran in front of them and carried her sister steadily in her arms.

      Xi Muyao glanced at Qinghuan and frowned, his voice surprisingly calm: Qinghuan, don't say anything, the old man is doing his best, let's go to the hospital first.

      Qingli was lying on the sickbed, and now that she was awake, she could faintly hear the conversation between Qinghuan and the doctor outside.

      Lu Qingli, hypoglycemia during pregnancy, slight dehydration due to pregnancy reaction, it's best not to have an injection.

      What? Doctor, you mean... Is she pregnant? "

      Yes.

      When did it happen?

      Now, 12 weeks. After a while, the reaction should be alleviated a lot. Go back and take good care of yourself. Eat something light.

      Qingli closed her eyes. Then, hearing the sound of the door opening, and the sound of footsteps, Qinghuan quickly walked to the front of her bed.

      With the thick smell of disinfectant in the hospital, Qinghuan silently looked at Qingli.

      The surroundings were extremely quiet, but Qingli's expression was surprisingly calm.

      She already knew that what was coming would eventually come.

      Only, she was too familiar with Qinghuan's character, she admitted that anything was fine, but she could not admit that Xi Muyao had a mistress.

      Sis, are you saying that you and Brother-in-law have already divorced?

      Yes. Qingli said faintly: There's no special reason. It's possible that because we've been married for too long, we're all numb to each other.

      God knows, she wished she was telling the truth. If only she could be more numb.

      No pain, no despair, just getting used to one man and looking for another.

      After a long while, Qinghuan asked her: Then what about this child?

      Born.

      "But he doesn't have a father. Sis, I know that I am already very willful, but you know our identities. I married a useless man, and you gave birth to a child without a father.

      Qingli never thought that Qinghuan would say such a thing. In her heart, her little sister had always been proud and willful, but she never thought that after leaving for the past two years, she had truly matured and grown up.

      Yeah. Even if was not mentioned, their mother Fu Huaiya, who had never received any rank in her entire life, would not have been able to give birth to two daughters, much less Lu Jinghao.

      Seeing that Qingli did not answer her, she just sighed and looked outside.

      Qinghuan suddenly stood up, I'm going to look for brother-in-law!

      What are you doing?

      I asked him if he still loved you.

      With that said, Qinghuan's figure disappeared from the ward.

      Qingli frowned, it was another wave of disgust. She grabbed the bedside table tightly, wanting to stand up.

      At this moment, his phone rang.

      Hello, Lu Qingli. May I ask who you are?"

      CHAPTER 5 - THE SECOND TIME SHE SAW THIS WOMAN

      Hello, Miss Lu, it's me, Lin Yeyan …

      When Qinghuan returned to the sickroom, Qingli was already gone.

      She could not find Xi Muyao, but she received a message from Qingli.

      Qinghuan, don't tell your brother-in-law about this matter for now, or maybe I can abandon this child. I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

      Qinghuan held onto her phone, unable to reply for a long time.

      She didn't know how bitter her sister's heart had been in the past few days. She didn't even let her family know about her divorce.

      It seemed that ever since she was young, her sister had never troubled her family. It had always been her, and she brought her father big and small trouble, but in the end, it was Qingli who helped her settle it.

      As she was lost in thought, the phone rang. She looked at the screen and laughed.

      In this lifetime, although she had expended the greatest amount of vitality in her life to meet Jian Yang and marry him, she had never regretted it.

      This was the second time Qingli had seen this woman called Lin Yeyan.

      Perhaps it was because she was carrying twins, but her stomach was clearly much rounder than hers. It was only four months old, and already as old as six months of a normal pregnant woman.

      She was small, with a soft skeleton, thin, white cheeks, and creamy skin. His complexion was also much better than Qingli's.

      Qingli sat in front of her, tightly clenching her fists. Her fingernails dug into her flesh, she could clearly feel the pain throughout her entire body. Wake her up and straighten her back.

      Whenever she did, she knew that she had to be elegant and proud.

      Because she was Lu Qingli.

      Just when she was still trying to guess the purpose of this woman asking her out, the other party lightly said, "Miss Lu, I am very sorry for stealing your man. Just don't blame me for it, he is really too outstanding.

      Did you come to find me to say this? I'm sorry, I'm not interested. With that, Qingli stood up.

      No, Lin Yeyan used her long fingernail to scratch the surface of the cup, and said: You two have already divorced, so you cannot have your child.

      Qingli opened her eyes wide and looked at her. Lin Yeyan, she actually sent someone to follow her?!

      Other than Qinghuan, no one else knew she was pregnant.

      He had only entered the hospital once, and in less than half a day, this woman had already known everything. Furthermore, she had brazenly called her out and told her that this child could not be left alive?

      What a huge joke!

      Qingli could feel that her body was trembling. Before she left the hospital, she had considered Qinghuan's reminder and wanted to ruthlessly kill this child. But at that moment, she thought that she would regret it.

      Seeing Qingli staring at her, Lin Yeyan was lost for a moment, she knew what kind of character the woman in front of her was. This Lu Qingli, the mayor's most proud daughter, was clearly not a piece of soft tofu, and would not be trampled on by anyone.

      CHAPTER 6 - YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF YOUR CHILD!

      And she, Lin Yeyan, an ordinary university student who had just stepped into society, had more or less the luck to defeat that man Xi Muyao in one fell swoop. However, if she wanted to completely subdue that man and win this battle, she would need to put in a lot more effort.

      Especially every night, when Xi Muyao had his back facing her body, and used the loneliest posture to fall asleep, the bottom of her heart would always feel an indescribable desolation.

      It was only when he was drunk that he would hug her body while reciting Lu Qingli's name again and again.

      She clearly understood that the marriage she had been involved in was actually not that fragile. As long as Lu Qingli was merciful and turned around, Xi Muyao would definitely leave him and run away immediately.

      Therefore, she wanted Qingli to continue her temper as the young miss and continue to anger Xi Muyao, so this was the only way.

      Just like this, Qingli used such a sharp gaze to look at herself, and said word by word with her teeth on the verge of breaking: Say it again.

      If you try to persuade him to stay like this, what do you think he'll think of you?

      Qingli felt that she had always underestimated the woman in front of him.

      She grabbed onto her weakest point and tightly held onto her dignity that Lu Qingli would never let go of even if she was beaten to death.

      Miss Lin, let me ask you this, why do you have your eyes on Xi Muyao? Don't you know that everything that he obtained today, was all given to him by my Lu Family? After leaving me, Lu Qingli, all of the radiance emitted from his body will not be as dazzling as it is today. Let me give you a word of advice, no matter how strong he is, he is still a pretty boy with a strong outer appearance. If you like him, I will give him up to you, but, my child is mine, he won't die just because of a single word from you.

      Qingli said each sentence clearly, the woman's expression became weaker and weaker, as if she hadn't heard anything at all. Suddenly, with a hundred and eighty degree turn, when Qingli was staring with wide eyes in search of an answer, Lin Yeyan took a step forward and firmly grabbed onto her clothes: "I beg you, Miss Lu, I know your father's ability, I also clearly understand your ability to call the wind and summon the rain, but I beg you, please don't let my children die. These are two children, two living lives, I can agree to all your demands, and I can also give you your wife's position.

      Her voice became softer as she spoke, and her head drooped so low that Qingli couldn't see her eyes.

      When Xi Muyao walked into the coffee shop, he just happened to see the scene in front of him.

      Qingli was as arrogant as a peacock, but Lin Yeyan was lowly in the soil.

      He couldn't help but sneer. Lu Qingli, from the moment you married me, there was another man living in your heart. Until now, when I had other women become pregnant, you still haven't shown the slightest bit of sadness.

      You are only a princess, unwilling to admit defeat, unwilling to admit the failure of your marriage.

      At first, you were only kind to me because you wanted to be a virtuous and virtuous wife. Now you are fulfilling a duty that belongs to this status, right?

      Before Qingli could speak, a clear and cold voice transmitted over: Why aren't you in the hospital, and have come here to threaten her?

      Qingli was startled, then suddenly understood why the woman in front of him had suddenly changed her tone of voice.

      She raised her head and looked at Xi Muyao, who had appeared beside her. At this moment, the man who was carrying her to the hospital just a moment ago, was Lin Yeyan's man.

      He looked at himself with desire and disappointment in his eyes. That obsession didn't seem too different from the days and nights before.

      After being silent for a moment, he walked towards Lin Yeyan. When he had just escorted Qingli to the hospital, he heard from the assistant, Xiao Wu, that there was a problem with the company's case and told him to quickly rush over to negotiate with the person in charge.

      Coincidentally, the moment he walked in, he saw the scene before him.

      CHAPTER 7 - THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN TWO WOMEN

      At this moment, Xiao Wu stood beside him and blinked his eyes at him.

      Then, he took out his phone to look at it, and said: President Xi, the person in charge said that the rumors they heard had already spread, so it's just a misunderstanding. The contract will still be signed.

      What rumor? Xi Muyao turned his head and asked.

      He had only met Xiao Wu at the entrance of the coffee shop, so he did not have the time to ask about it.

      Eh … Xiao Wu rubbed his hands together and looked at Qingli awkwardly.

      Go ahead.

      It seems that someone released the news that you and your wife, oh no, it's the Miss Lu. They said that once you divorce the Miss Lu and leave the Lu Family, your company's performance will definitely drop greatly. Many of the partners have heard of this news, so they aren't sure if it's true or not …

      Xiao Wu stuttered, but the whole thing was extremely clear.

      Lin Yeyan covered her mouth and exclaimed, her eyes red as she choked with emotions: Miss Lu, you just said that you left the Lu Family of your people … Xi Muyao... There will be no more such light... Please don't! It wasn't Nie Yan's fault, it was my fault. I took the initiative to seduce him … Don't affect his reputation and the company, okay?"

      Seeing the girl trying her best to show off, Qingli snorted coldly.

      This moment, she thought, was comical enough.

      However, she clearly understood that this was a war between two women.

      She had no intention of fighting for him anymore. Since this man had already betrayed her, why would she bother trying to force him to stay by her side?

      However, what she gave up was a man, not her dignity.

      Since someone intentionally challenged her, Miss Lu's, temper, how could she easily shrink back and fear them?

      As if he could see the sharp and terrifying light that Qingli was looking at herself with, Lin Yeyan's hands trembled slightly, before turning his gaze towards Xi Muyao.

      Muyao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stepped in between the two of you …

      Xi Muyao looked at her coldly without making a sound.

      Lin Yeyan had always known about his good intentions towards Qingli. And she had been humbly standing behind him.

      But Qingli? She kept pushing herself away.

      Especially since he had made such a mistake that night, he would never be able to take her heart back.

      Thinking of this, his heart throbbed in pain.

      Heaven knows, when had she ever given her heart to him?

      If it were not for that day, when he saw Qingli standing at the airport, looking down at the unfamiliar city name, why would she be disheartened? Why would she pour wine on Lin Yeyan and have such a relationship with him?

      Lu Qingli, it's you. Step by step, you pushed me away.

      If you leave me, will you return to him?

      That way, you'll be truly happy, won't you?

      Until and Lin Yeyan left with their hands together, Qingli was still unable to recover.

      She just sat there, straight, her coffee cold, and she ordered more water and drank one glass after another.

      Pregnant women, she knew, could not drink coffee.

      When the sun had set outside, Qingge called to ask where she was, saying that the old man was looking for them.

      She lied that she was not feeling well, so he took her home early.

      Qingge replied with an Oh and hung up.

      He had lived for so many years, but he had never felt so powerless before.

      In the past, Lu Qingli would definitely get what she wanted. If they didn't want it, they would politely reject it.

      Xi Muyao was right, she was just a proud and docile peacock. Being docile was because of what he had done, no one had ever said that she was wrong.

      She had always known what she wanted, what she didn't want.

      She was Mayor Lu's daughter. She was gentle and generous.

      But this time, in the face of her failed marriage and the man she loved, she understood for the first time what helplessness was.

      In front of them, she had displayed her skills flawlessly, but when she went to the empty building, she knew that the sadness in her heart was slowly spreading all over her body.

      As for the baby in her stomach that was only three months old, should she keep it or …

      CHAPTER 8 - WHAT THEY DID BEHIND HER BACK

      She let herself sink slowly onto the table, trying to calm herself.

      In fact, every time she saw the man, she longed for him to put his arm around her shoulders, smile, and stand in the middle of the crowd, as he always did.

      Only at that moment did she feel that she belonged to him.

      She remembered what she had said to Xi Muyao in the morning.

      Did he know that he wouldn't do that?

      When he went out, it was raining outside. The rain was drizzling, and Qingli's footsteps were a bit light.

      The current situation had exceeded her expectations and understanding of her own life. She had never imagined that she would be in the same situation as she was today.

      By the time he got home, it was already very late and his family had all gone to bed.

      She walked lightly to the hallway, changed out of her long and slender heels, and heard a light cough.

      Qinghuan? She turned around and looked at the figure walking over from the sofa.

      Qinghuan's eyes were filled with fatigue, and her hair was a lot shorter than Qingli's.

      She swirled the goblet in her hand and asked, Would you like a drink?

      Qingli frowned and just looked at her, she immediately understood and spread open her hand: Sorry, Sis, I forgot that you are pregnant right now …

      Shh! Qingli quickly made a gesture of silence and looked up the stairs.

      Don't worry, they're all asleep! The old man is also tired and rested early.

      Mm, that's good.

      Why are you so late? Qinghuan asked her, Also, why didn't you tell me that you were discharged? Did brother-in-law take you away?

      No, I have something to do.

      Qingli put down her bag, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then gulped down a mouthful of water.

      She had drank enough water today, but Qinghuan knew that every time she lied, she would drink as much water as she could.

      Only, this time, she did not want to interfere in Qingli's business.

      Thus, he shook his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

      Where did Qingge take you? Qingli asked her.

      Oh, I didn't go anywhere, I just went to look around with Jian Yang, and told her to go back early. Qinghuan said carelessly.

      Yes.

      Qingli did not speak anymore. She felt a slight dizziness, as if she was drinking.

      Jian Yang was their family's son-in-law, but because he was not acknowledged by their father, even when he returned with Qinghuan, he did not come over to visit. Not to mention giving the old tutor a birthday present.

      In the old man's heart, only Xi Muyao was the son-in-law he was most proud of.

      As for Qingge, she was living at home with her five-year-old son everyday, and her ex-husband had long gone missing.

      Lu Jinghao always looked at Qingge and his grandson Mu Ziyang and sighed. He did not understand why a daughter of such a young age would choose the road of divorce and lose face for him, the mayor.

      Of the three daughters, one should marry but not marry, and one should not marry but must not die to marry.

      Only Qingli allowed him to relax.

      Qingli knew her grandfather's thoughts the best. Therefore, every time she thought of asking Lu Jinghao for her divorce, she would swallow the words that were about to leave her mouth.

      Lu Jinghao's heart was not well, and he had diabetes. All these years, even though his body looked strong and sturdy, he couldn't leave the needles and medicines alone every day.

      That night, Qingli slept unstably, and the faces of Xi Muyao and Lin Yeyan repeatedly appeared in her dreams.

      And also Lin Yeyan's waist, which was gradually becoming round, and her stomach, which was protruding out.

      As long as she thought about what Xi Muyao and Lin Yeyan had done behind her back on that night, even in her dreams, her teeth would chatter loudly.

      CHAPTER 9 - HE IS INDIFFERENT TO THE CHILD IN HER WOMB

      At this moment, Xi Muyao was sitting alone on the long sofa in an empty room.

      The sound of water splashing in the bathroom. He closed his eyes, as if he was still standing there bathing. It was still his wife, Lu Qingli.

      He still remembered that the first time he saw her, it was also at Lu Jinghao's birthday banquet.

      So it turned out that only three years had passed.

      Everything changed.

      At that time, Qingli was just like this, indifferent, with a sense of alienation, she would sit there alone and eat. When people toasted or spoke words of praise, she would smile and nod at him, agreeing softly.

      When her eyes met his, it was as if all the blood in his body had frozen.

      From then on, he frequented Lu Family and his relationship with Lu Jinghao became deeper and deeper.

      Until finally, when Lu Jinghao called him to have a chat with his and meaningfully asked him what he thought of his daughter, he said without hesitation, Mayor Lu, I have liked Qingli for a long time.

      Now that he thought about it, it had only taken him a year and a half to 'long time'. But he felt that he had loved this woman for a long time.

      He thought everything was going smoothly, but he didn't know that after their marriage, he had unintentionally heard that she had never thought of marrying him.

      She had the man she loved. That man was forcibly broken up by Lu Jinghao for the sake of her marriage to him.

      He won, didn't he? Can you understand that?

      However, the person who had washed himself clean was still the best.

      She couldn't forget that man. Even at this moment, she was Xi Muyao's wife.

      The cigarette butts in the ashtray were smoking one by one. When Lin Yeyan walked out of the bathroom, she was smothered by the thick smoke in the living room until she couldn't open her eyes.

      She coughed hard, but didn't dare say anything.

      He lifted his eyes and looked at the delicate woman before him. She was wearing a naked bathrobe and her lower abdomen was slightly protruding. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He extinguished the cigarette and casually picked up another one.

      Lin Yeyan's heart seemed to have been pierced with another hole.

      He didn't care about the child in her womb at all, nor did he look forward to it.

      She knew that she was just a pawn he wanted to use to provoke Lu Qingli.

      Hubby, you have something on your mind? Lin Yeyan sat over and smiled at him.

      The ceiling lamp in the living room only had a few dim yellow lights on. Lin Yeyan's hair that had been washed had a crystal clear light, and water droplets dripped onto Xi Muyao's arms.

      Xi Muyao raised his hand, wiped it, and took a drag from his cigarette without saying a word.

      Unconsciously, she moved closer to him. She reached out and hugged him tightly from behind, gently pressing her hand against his back. Thank you, husband, she whispered.

      Xi Muyao threw the tip of his cigarette into the ashtray, turned around and pressed her down with a flip of his hand.

      Xi Muyao slowly raised his waist, putting a small distance between them and her stomach.

      His breath was on the tip of her nose. Don't try to seduce me, if you want the children.

      With that, he stood up, leaving Lin Yeyan sitting there with a pale face. He went back to his room, closed the door, and fell down.

      He needed calm.

      A woman pressed against his body, especially a woman who had just come out of the bath, he would not be indifferent.

      However, at that moment, he was thinking of that woman.

      Just thinking about her made every nerve in his body ache.

      He didn't know what he had to do to make her suffer as well.

      Like him, if he didn't drink too much and smoke too much, he wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

      CHAPTER 10 - YE YAN AND I ARE GOING TO GET A CERTIFICATE

      Qingli had breakfast early in the morning, she then bid farewell to her family and returned to her own residence.

      It was the house she had bought herself after the divorce.

      Since no one knew she was divorced, she couldn't go home at all. Only occasionally would he return home because he was too lonely and depressed, bringing with him some of the old tutor's favorite food, and personally cook a meal for him.

      As for her mother, she went back once a week.

      But today, just as he drove the car into the underground garage, he saw the brand-new Porsche parked there arrogantly.

      Instinctively, she started the engine. Just as she was about to turn around, the car next to her made a sharp turn and stopped her in her tracks.

      She jumped out of the car, closed the door, and looked at the man in the Porsche.

      He was looking at her with his cigarette between his fingers. It was as if he was provoking her.

      She was furious, but she maintained a calm expression.

      Finally, he slowly got out of the car. It was heading straight for her.

      Mr. Xi, why did you come here instead of staying at home with your woman?

      If I say … He looked at her, eyes red, paused, and continued in a hoarse voice, I miss you, I hope you go back, do you believe me? It's been so many days, you really... Didn't you even think about me? Even for a moment? Xi Muyao looked at her. Although he said these words calmly, they carried a lot of hope in them.

      Before he came here, he had spent the entire night thinking about it. In the morning, he had to drink a few cups of wine before he had the courage to compromise.

      Qingli's heart was thumping hard. If she believed him, if she wanted to, she could pretend that nothing had happened. She was still Xi Muyao's wife, and she could even safely give birth to the child in her womb.

      However …

      Why, if she said that, she wouldn't be able to open her mouth no matter what.

      Time was silent. It was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard.

      The rims of his eyes were getting redder and redder. Just as Qingli was about to pounce on him, he suddenly laughed.

      He laughed righteously, beamed with joy, laughed with disdain.

      That's a lie, don't say it. He walked closer to her, hugged her body, and whispered into her ear, Ye Yan and I are preparing to take the test. You should at least be able to say the words to congratulate us, right?

      Xi Muyao!

      Anger raged in her heart as she forcefully pushed his body away, retreating step by step as if she had never met him before.

      He turned around and left.

      Xi Muyao stood there in a daze, watching her back figure slowly disappear, as if all of his nerves were paralyzed.

      Qingli's mind was in a mess the whole morning. When her colleague Ning Xiaoru walked into her office, she was staring at the computer screen in a daze.

      Director Lu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Ning Xiaoluo asked her with concern.

      She shook her head and asked, It's fine, what's wrong? What's the matter?

      Oh, it's like this. Our contract with Sio is about to expire soon. Regarding the renewal of the contract, I would like to ask for your opinion? Ning Xiao Xun laughed, After all, Sio is your brother-in-law's company. I know that, but I still have to get your permission first.

      No more. Qingli opened her mouth indifferently.

      Ning Xiaoluo raised her head in surprise and looked at her, What?

      No matter what, she would never have thought that such a perfect cooperation between them could not be continued.

      Sio was the strongest real estate company in the city, and the advertising group that Lu Qingli was in charge of had signed the agreement for Sio from the moment they arrived for two years, to the point that Qingli had already received the attention of the entire company.

      It was only until everyone found out about Qingli's identity that they finally understood.

      Qingli pursed her lips and laughed weakly: It's nothing, I just don't want everyone to think that my performance was won by my husband. I hope that it was mostly through his own abilities.

      Hearing Qingli's words, even though Ning Xiaoru felt regretful, she couldn't think of any other words to say.

      CHAPTER 11 - LU QINGLI'S FATAL INJURY

      With the termination of the contract with Sio, it did not take long for all the major media organizations to learn of the news.

      Xi Muyao never thought that Qingli would leave him completely after thinking about it.

      The connection between her and him had also been cut off by her.

      This way, very good, he would no longer have any regrets.

      When Qingge saw Xi Muyao, she almost thought that she was seeing things.

      However, with such a huge shopping
