My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day -
Chapter 270: Is This What They Call the Chase-Your-Wife Crematorium?
Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Is This What They Call the Chase-Your-Wife Crematorium?
Last time it was a broken virginity contract, this time she got pregnant.
The timing was quite precise.
"I’ve only been intimate with Shen Dang, and this child I’m carrying is his. None of you can deny this fact. If you don’t want to debase yourself by being the other woman, leave Shen Dang as soon as possible. For the sake of the child, I will definitely defend my rights!"
Looking at this text message, Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes, her phoenix eyes revealing a trace of cold sneer.
It had been a long time since the incident, and Qiao Xi thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Chu Wan had brought up a child.
Even if the child wasn’t Shen Dang’s, this still was a big trouble.
In this matter, Qiao Xi trusted Shen Dang, but deep down, she couldn’t shake a certain emotion that made her quite unhappy.
It was heavy, like being pressed by a stone.
After a long while, Qiao Xi called Shen Dang.
However, the call didn’t go through, and the phone played the mechanical voice, ’The person you are calling is on another call.’
Meanwhile, Shen Dang was talking to Ran Jing.
The news about Shen Dang and Qiao Xi was raging online, drawing attention from both inside and outside the circle.
After seeing the news, Ran Jing called Shen Dang to inquire.
"What’s the situation between you and XiXi now? Both of you returned to Yingyue Bay, are you about to remarry?"
Before Shen Dang could respond, Ran Jing disapprovingly said, "You’ve been married for two years and never took the initiative. Now, after the divorce, you begin to act? Son, isn’t this what they call... chasing wife funeral?"
Only a real mother would take this moment to tease her own son.
If he had realized earlier the importance of living well with his wife, he wouldn’t be in this situation.
This foolish son!
Shen Dang’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this, "Mom, stop reading nonsense online, it’s poisoning middle-aged women like you."
What chasing wife funeral, how could his mother even say such a thing.
Ran Jing disliked this comment, "Are you saying that middle-aged women like me are wrong? Huh?"
"Yes, you’re right," Shen Dang replied, somewhat helplessly.
In a way, he indeed was in a ’mourning’.
Just look at Qiao Xi’s attitude towards him now.
Security was something that wasn’t easily built overnight; he could only wait for her to open up to him completely.
Seeing this, Ran Jing didn’t continue her teasing, just huffed, "So what’s your situation with XiXi?"
Shen Dang responded concisely, "I’m pursuing her, haven’t succeeded yet."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Three words, loaded with meaning.
Unable to help herself after tsking, Ran Jing blurted, "You really deserve this!"
Shen Dang’s expression darkened, "...I’m hanging up."
Ran Jing hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, mom has an idea!"
Shen Dang put the phone back to his ear, lazily asking, "What idea?"
"Create a surprise for XiXi, gifts and such are a must, and don’t forget to care for her every day."
Shen Dang: "..."
Again, he said, "Hanging up."
Then he hung up the phone.
What kind of idea was that?
Hadn’t he done all that?
He had done all that, but to little effect.
Even the news leaked online by Tang Qing didn’t progress their relationship.
Qiao Xi had refuted the rumors.
Good.
Before he had won her over, she wasn’t planning to go public with their relationship.
Deep in thought, Shen Dang called Qiao Xi back.
Just as Qiao Xi was about to tell Shen Dang about Chu Wan, she quickly answered the phone.
She hadn’t spoken yet when Shen Dang’s voice came through, "Would you like to eat out tonight or should I cook at your place?"
His voice was languid, with a hint of a smile.
Qiao Xi didn’t respond to him, but said, "I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?"
Qiao Xi bluntly stated, "Chu Wan is pregnant."
The air seemed to freeze momentarily.
Shen Dang narrowed his brows, his voice slightly deep, "So you suspect her child is mine?"
This never-ending matter.
Shen Dang’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, a trace of fierceness flickering within, sharp and forbidding.
Qiao Xi felt he might be a bit paranoid, and it was all because of her.
Reflecting on this, Qiao Xi felt somewhat suppressed and irritable.
Her lips slightly parted, "No, I don’t suspect that, but it’s a fact she’s pregnant."
"She approached you?"
"Yes," Qiao Xi half-smiled, "She told me to leave you."
"Did you listen to her?"
Shen Dang’s voice was cold.
If she dared say something that upset him, he would definitely rush to her house and kiss her until she couldn’t speak.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "No."
Shen Dang lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, as though smiling, yet not, "Don’t be foolishly swayed by a few words. An uncommitted deed remains uncommitted, no matter how much dirt they throw, it won’t reach me."
"I’m not that foolish," Qiao Xi said irritably, "It’s just annoying to keep encountering these situations."
Shen Dang was too much of a magnet.
There was Qu Keke in the past, now Chu Wan, and who knew who else in the future.
Qiao Xi wanted a pure love, but in this society, such pure and simple love seemed increasingly rare.
Just like Sheng Chao and Su Tutu, who now loved each other, had gone through so much before their marriage.
Like Monk Tang fetching scriptures from the West—facing ninety-nine trials before achieving the true fruit.
Perhaps the road to love for a couple was similar.
In essence, Qiao Xi was the kind of person who didn’t believe in love.
Thus her continuous hesitation.
Shen Dang: "I will handle it."
Hearing this made Qiao Xi unexpectedly comforted, "Hmm."
"So, do you want to eat out tonight, or should I cook for you?" Shen Dang circled back to the question.
"Hmm?" Qiao Xi raised her tone, genuinely asking, "Aren’t you dealing with Chu Wan’s issue?"
Shen Dang countered, "Does that mean we won’t eat?"
Qiao Xi, "...You handle it first."
Shen Dang felt like he understood her meaning.
He uncertainly asked, "So you mean, until this matter is resolved, you don’t want to see me?"
Qiao Xi unhesitatingly said, "Yes, I think that’s a good idea."
She even nodded in agreement with this statement, though Boss Shen couldn’t see.
Shen Dang: "..."
What’s called shooting yourself in the foot? This is it.
"You’re like this now?" Shen Dang laughed helplessly.
"Now I am," Qiao Xi replied straightforwardly.
A few short words successfully left Boss Shen speechless.
Qiao Xi was slightly smug, "I’m hanging up."
Shen Dang suddenly said, "Then I’ll come over and cook."
"...What?"
Shen Dang seemed to chuckle, "I’m making the choice for you."
"What kind of attitude is this?"
Qiao Xi was left speechless by him.
Boss Shen grandly declared, "Now it’s here."
Shen Dang returned her own words to her, unaltered.
Qiao Xi: "..."
This dog of a man, always leaving people speechless, right?
In the end, Shen Dang didn’t come.
Because he suddenly got held up with something else.
