Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Let’s Get Divorced
Yuan Xi decided that after she visited her grandparents, she put on some makeup.
When Yang Kexin arrived, it was almost ten o’clock. As she got out of the car, she also took a long paddleboard from the trunk, “Sis!”
Yuan Xi laughed lightly at the paddleboard Yang Kexin brought, “You pretended to visit Diamond, but in reality, you came to Ruohu to play with the paddleboard, didn’t you?”
Yang Kexin showed her teeth with a giggle, “Sis, are you going out?”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes, I’m going to Grandpa and Grandma Chu’s place for dinner.”
“I advise you better not go.”
Yang Kexin said, “Those cousins at the Chu Family are nothing but gold diggers, and only Chu Yan is their favorite. My brother suddenly mentioned going to your grandparents’ yesterday—it must have been Chu Yan’s doing. Didn’t you see the change in Bo Fan’s attitude toward Chu Yan? Chu Yan can’t wait to go to the grandparents’ to reaffirm her status as the Little Princess of Chu Family. If you go, you’ll just be used to contrast with her, believe me.”
Yuan Xi was stunned.
Yang Kexin patted the paddleboard and said, “Why not join me in paddleboarding instead! The Chu Family is no fun. When I went to my aunt’s place, Old Lady Chu looked down on my Sister Zhu. Chu Yan has always despised Sister Zhu too, thinking Sister Zhu’s second marriage is not good enough for my dad. Because of Sister Zhu, my dad has never liked Chu Yan, but because of my aunt, we had no choice but to welcome Chu Yan into our home.”
Yang Kexin looked at the house in front of her and said, “Sis, your house is so beautiful. This seems like Sander’s architectural design style.”
“It is designed by Sander,” Huo Shiyuan chimed in from the side. “Are you studying architecture?”
Yang Kexin nodded, “Yes, I majored in architectural design at university. Isn’t it rare for Master Sander to design something?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “One of my professors knows Sander and referred him to me. If you like, you can take a look around.”
Yang Kexin set down her paddleboard and eagerly appreciated Sander’s architectural design.
Yang Kexin said, “May I take some photos and post them on social media for my classmates to see? I won’t disclose the address.”
“Of course.”
Yang Kexin took several photos and before posting on social media, she showed them to Yuan Xi, “Sis, you really don’t need to go to Grandpa Chu’s house.”
Yuan Xi looked at Yang Kexin’s social media, which was marked as Chu Li, and saw a group photo with the caption, “The Chu Family together again, full of joy @Chu Yan @Bo Fan.”
Yuan Xi glanced at it and didn’t seem to care much, laughing lightly to Yang Kexin, “Alright, I’ll join you in paddleboarding.”
Huo Shiyuan disagreed a bit, “You’re pregnant.”
Yuan Xi said, “I checked, swimming is fine, and I’ll be careful not to fall into the lake.”
Yang Kexin also confidently said, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I’m great at paddleboarding.”
Huo Shiyuan was still somewhat worried, but he didn’t want to spoil Yuan Xi’s fun, so he had someone bring over a small yacht, instructing the bodyguards to follow at a distance alongside the paddleboard.
While in the center of the lake, Yuan Xi received a call from Chu Qing, “Xinxin, haven’t you arrived yet?”
Yuan Xi said, “Dad, I didn’t agree to go to the grandparents’ house yesterday.”
Yang Kexin spoke up from the other side, “Uncle, Chu Li has already posted on social media saying you are all happily reunited, so my cousin and I won’t disturb your family time… We’ve got bad reception in the countryside, hello hello hello…”
Saying this, Yang Kexin hung up the phone for Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi gave a light laugh toward Yang Kexin.
Yang Kexin, looking at the distant yacht, said, “Sis, your husband isn’t just a regular construction worker, is he? That yacht must be pretty expensive.”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes, he’s Huo Shiyuan.”
“Oh my!”
Yang Kexin almost fell off the paddleboard, but Yuan Xi steadied her.
Yang Kexin said, “Did Chu Yan also say your husband is just a peasant worker with a self-built house in the countryside?”
Yuan Xi pointed to a house by the edge of Ruohu, “Self-built house.”
Yang Kexin laughed out loud, “I can’t wait to see Chu Yan’s face when she finds out the truth. I want to call her right now, but no, calling her won’t let me see her reaction. We should go tell her at the Chu Family.”
“Don’t do that,” Yuan Xi said, “There’s a bit of trouble with Fan Yan in Bo Fan’s family. They’ve been seeking investment from Shixi, and Huo Shiyuan doesn’t want to be disturbed by Bo Fan.”
Yang Kexin gestured a zipper across her lips and said, “Okay, but you have to call me when you let Chu Yan know the truth. She’s bullied me since I was young. I have to see the look on her face.”
“Why would she have bullied you since you were small?”
Yang Kexin said, “Because of my dad’s job, I’m destined not to wear those luxury brand clothes, in case someone makes a fuss. I also don’t get much pocket money, and Chu Yan always likes to come and show off in front of me, compare with me. I can’t be bothered to compete with her over these things, she wants to be the only princess in Jiang City, just let her be. It’s so meaningless.”
Yuan Xi smiled faintly.
After half a lap around Ruohu, Yang Kexin was utterly exhausted and eventually returned to the Ruohu Mansion by yacht.
Yang Kexin didn’t stay long, glanced at her ring, and then left.
After sending off Yang Kexin, Yuan Xi rested on the sofa. @@novelbin@@
She received a message from Yang Ying, “Xinxin, are you free this afternoon? I’m coming to the side of Ruohu. I want to chat with you and also see where you are living now.”
While Yuan Xi didn’t know how to reply, a bodyguard came in and said, “Ma’am, there’s a little boy at the gate asking for President Huo. What do you think…”
Huo Shiyuan was in a video conference. Yuan Xi said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”
At the gate of Ruohu Mansion, a five-year-old boy was dragging a little yellow Minion suitcase, wearing a small backpack, and had a little yellow hat on his head, looking incredibly cute.
If only he didn’t look so much like Huo Shiyuan…
This little boy actually looked exactly like Huo Shiyuan.
Yuan Xi felt as if she was frozen in place until a twinge of pain came from her lower abdomen.
With her hand lightly caressing her lower abdomen, she should have thought earlier that if she could have a one-night stand with Huo Shiyuan and have a child, it was also likely that Huo Shiyuan had his romantic histories…
She should have realized that, with Huo Shiyuan’s wealth, she wouldn’t be the first, nor perhaps the last.
The bodyguard glanced at Yuan Xi with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Feeling the increasing pain in her lower abdomen, Yuan Xi said to the bodyguard, “Please take me to the hospital…”
The bodyguard, not daring to delay, didn’t care whether Huo Shiyuan was still in a meeting and went upstairs to find him.
Upon learning that Yuan Xi was experiencing abdominal pain, Huo Shiyuan hurried downstairs.
Seeing Yuan Xi already seated in the car, Huo Shiyuan asked, “Why is your stomach suddenly hurting? Was it because of the paddleboard?”
Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan, who had drawn close, and said, “President Huo, perhaps we both got carried away about getting married…”
Huo Shiyuan frowned and said, “It wasn’t a rash decision, I…”
Yuan Xi said, “I think it was indeed an impulse. Let’s get divorced. I’ll take good care of the child and won’t let him disturb any aspect of your life.”
Huo Shiyuan wanted to explain, but his glance fell on the little five-year-old boy still standing at the door, “Who is this child?”
Yuan Xi spoke coldly, “He’s the spitting image of you, and you’re asking me who he is?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “The first time I was with you, there’s no way I could have a child elsewhere.”
Yuan Xi bit her lip, obviously unconvinced, “I’ll go to the hospital first. Please get out of the car.”
What do you think?
