My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 821: 821, The Fake Princess [Second Release]

Huo Jingshen asked, “What’s the matter? Has my baby started checking up on me?”

“Yes!” Su Wanwan didn’t deny it, “I heard you went with a woman, and she’s pretty too. You even arranged several bodyguards to protect her. Tell me, who exactly is she?”

“She’s a friend of mine here in the United Kingdom. The bodyguards weren’t arranged by me; she brought them herself,” he replied, his tone completely normal.

There was no hesitation or stumbling in his speech.

The doubts in Su Wanwan’s heart instantly dissipated by more than half, but she still asked, “What does she do for a living? Needs bodyguards to accompany her on a plane, does she think she’s a princess?”

She actually had bodyguards.

...

If she wasn’t a pampered Little Princess from an affluent family like Mo Weiyi, then she must be an actual princess from some royal or political sphere.

Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, “Is my baby feeling jealous?”

Su Wanwan huffed twice, “Come clean!”

“She’s not a princess, just an ordinary friend of mine,” Huo Jingshen emphasized repeatedly before finally saying, “Once the matter is resolved, I’ll come back right away. Be good, don’t fuss.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Perhaps it was his sincere attitude, but whatever gloominess she felt had completely vanished.

**

United Kingdom, London.

No sooner had Huo Jingshen hung up the phone than a lazy, sexy baritone sounded beside him, “A call from the wife?”

Huo Jingshen didn’t speak.

“Heh,” the man laughed, “One lie requires countless others to cover it up.”

Huo Jingshen finally deigned to look at the man beside him.

The morning sunlight streamed through the car window, casting a faint golden edge on the man’s profile.

Mysterious and unfathomable.

Then he turned his face towards him, “Hit the nail on the head, want to hit me now?”

It was a handsome, delicately featured man’s face.

With deep features and a slight hint of mixed-race traits, his elongated phoenix eyes, browbones, nose bridge, and lips all appeared meticulously outlined, as if by pen. However, the brooding and fierce air about him, combined with the smoke of a cigarette caught between his slender fingers, prevented him from seeming too effeminate.

On the contrary, he was a mature and stunningly handsome man with an overwhelming presence of male hormones.

“Why didn’t those guys kill you last time?” Huo Jingshen asked indifferently, withdrawing his gaze, “So careless, must have taken more than a bullet to the heart, I’d wager.”

Fu Xihan laughed unabashedly, “Just a piece of friendly advice, little brother.”

The one called little brother, Huo Jingshen, outright said, “I’m taking Jinghua back to China.”

A light smile crossed Fu Xihan’s handsome face, “Then give it a try.”

Huo Jingshen’s face remained impassive.

Afterward, neither of the two spoke again.

…

The extended black luxury car swiftly entered an ancient estate in the suburbs, driving along the green stone road for quite a distance, eventually arriving in front of a castle in the old European style.

Black-clothed bodyguards lined the path the entire way. After getting out of the car, several bodyguards got off first and stood to the side, then a nun came out from the castle, speaking words of welcome in English.

“How is the young lady doing today?” Fu Xihan asked.

The nun replied, “Miss Huo has been fussing about going out to play since early this morning. Because we didn’t agree to it, she hasn’t even eaten breakfast.”

Fu Xihan turned to Huo Jingshen, “First let her eat, we’ll discuss the other matters later.”

Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes and asked, “Haven’t you been here recently?”

“I’ve been busy with company matters recently; it’s only been a day since I last came here.”

Huo Jingshen pursed his thin lips.

Although he didn’t speak, the anger seemed to have faded away.

…

Passing through the spacious living room big enough to serve as a soccer field, the two arrived at the garden at the back of the castle.

As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of flowers.

Against the background of blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and red tiles, the variety of colors bloomed in dazzling beauty.

Following the main pathway, nuns clad in black bowed their heads in acknowledgment as they passed.

Until they arrived at the innermost part where a thick red picnic blanket was laid on the green grass. On it lay a young woman, so stunning she seemed otherworldly.

She wore a long white dress that reached her ankles, exposing two delicate and fair feet. Her black hair, silky as satin, tumbled freely down either side of her body. Her hands rested behind her head, squinting her beautiful eyes as she gazed into the sky.

Her entire demeanor was one of unadulterated innocence and simplicity.

Huo Jingshen spoke up, “Jinghua.”

Hearing the sound, the woman turned her face.

Surprise filled her delicate and sweet little face, which then slowly blossomed into delight. She quickly stood up, gathered the complex folds of her dress, and wanted to run straight over, her voice soft and tinged with the tenderness of a little girl, “Brother!”

Huo Jingshen smiled and stretched out both hands.

But before they could touch…

A tall, dark figure moved faster than him. In two steps he wrapped his arms around Huo Jinghua’s waist, drawing her slender, soft body directly into his arms.

“Faithless one?” Huo Jinghua looked at the handsome man embracing her, then continued to look at Huo Jingshen, stretching out both hands wanting to be held, “Brother, Wanwan misses you so much.”

Huo Jingshen walked up close, glanced at the man who continued to hold her tight, and could only… extend a hand for her to hold.

“Brother, Wanwan misses you…” Huo Jinghua emphasized again, and after speaking she pouted her little mouth, wanting to kiss Huo Jingshen’s face.

But suddenly another hand reached out.

Soft lips landed directly on the man’s palm.

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Huo Jinghua also turned to Fu Xihan, “Faithless one?”

The man simply picked her up, carried her to a wicker chair to sit down, knelt on one knee, gently slipping soft shoes onto her feet, his deep voice calm and tender, “Haven’t I said that you can’t hug, let alone kiss, any other man but me?”

“But he’s my brother!” Huo Jinghua frowned delicately, confused and aggrieved.

“Even brother is not allowed,” said Fu Xihan, “you can only kiss me, understand?”

Huo Jinghua tilted her little face, looking at him.

Can she kiss only the faithless one?

After mulling it over seriously, she then pursed her little mouth and leaned forward.

Fu Xihan unapologetically circled his arms around her waist, his lips meeting hers, quickly taking charge in a domineering and forceful manner…

Huo Jingshen silently turned his face away: “…”

Damn!

He felt he had had his fill for the day.

It wasn’t until Huo Jinghua was breathless from the kiss that Fu Xihan finally left her sweet little mouth.

As she leaned red-faced in his arms catching her breath, he turned to the man eating dog food on the side, “We’re done kissing, you can look now.”

Huo Jingshen didn’t turn his face, merely uttering two words, “Beast.”

Fu Xihan: “…”

**

Her brother, who hadn’t visited in a long time, had come to see her, and Huo Jinghua was very happy, soon entering the dining room for the lunch prepared by the nuns.

But Huo Jingshen had lost his appetite completely.

Someone, however, was enjoying his meal, cutting steak into small pieces and serving it in front of Huo Jinghua.

Finally, when the pair was almost finished eating, Huo Jingshen spoke formally, “Jinghua, brother came back especially to pick you up.”

Huo Jinghua looked at him innocently, “To pick up Wanwan to go where?”

“How about going back home with brother?”

Huo Jinghua blinked, then looked at the man on the other side, “Then what about the faithless one? He’ll be lonely without someone to accompany him, he’s so pitiful.”

Huo Jingshen felt a pain in his stomach.

Pitiful my ass!

But seeing his sister’s innocent face, he could only suppress his temper to explain, “Brother is your family. If you go back to China with brother, you’ll meet your other family members. There are grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, and you…”

“But the faithless one said he is Wanwan’s husband,” Huo Jinghua interrupted.

Huo Jingshen: “…”

“The faithless one also said that Wanwan must live with her husband, and that he’d be very pitiful if Wanwan left,” Huo Jinghua added.

Huo Jingshen: “………”

A woman is hard to keep.

Clearly, someone had successfully brainwashed Huo Jinghua during the time he was not in the United Kingdom.

Fu Xihan squinted, emitting a low chuckle.

Blatant in his manner.

Clearly quite proud of himself.

“Fine,” Huo Jingshen suddenly agreed.

Fu Xihan raised an eyebrow.

Only to hear Huo Jingshen say, “But you have to listen to your brother.”

Huo Jinghua immediately nodded vigorously, “Wanwan will listen to brother.”

Huo Jingshen hooked the corner of his mouth and leaned in close, whispering a few words into the ear of his sister, innocent as a five-year-old child.

She didn’t know what he had said, but Huo Jinghua’s fair and pretty little face turned bright red in no time, and in the end, she seemed to somewhat understand as she nodded her head.

A few days later late at night, when Fu Xihan once again held her close, kissing and caressing her, wanting to play house like they used to, Huo Jinghua firmly rejected him. She even said that her brother had told her that people who are not married should not do such things and that a girl needs to protect herself…

Fu Xihan almost surrendered on the spot…

Of course, that is a story for another time.

…

Huo Jingshen stayed in the castle for over three hours, until Huo Jinghua was too sleepy to keep her eyes open and was taken by a nun to rest in the upstairs bedroom.

He went over to the bar in the corner of the living room and accepted a glass of red wine that Fu Xihan handed him, “How are the divorce negotiations with Xiu Xin going?”

Fu Xihan lit a cigarette with his long fingers and blew out a ring of smoke before speaking, “It’s just a fight of cornered beasts.”

“Once a woman goes crazy, sometimes she can be even more terrifying than a cornered beast.”

“Don’t forget, I was the best Beast Tamer in the Roman Colosseum.”

Heh heh.

Huo Jingshen took a sip of his wine, quickly changing the subject, “I still want to take Jinghua back with me.”

He had already planned it out. Once back, he would have Huo Jinghua stay in the military compound.

Compared to this place, the domestic security is better, especially in Nancheng. No one dares to touch anyone affiliated with the military, not even the Eastern Alliance would be so recklessly bold in a foreign land.

Plus, the old master and the old lady have been constantly talking about their only granddaughter, and Fu Ziyang has always been wanting to find his mother…

“But she doesn’t want to go with you,” Fu Xihan spread his hands, smiling insincerely.

Huo Jingshen: “Then I’ll just have to take her back by force.”

Fu Xihan: “…”

**

Back in China at that time.

Xu Jing had been fasting for an entire day.

That morning, Old Lady Xu went to the bedroom door, “I’ve put the food on the table, you can warm it up yourself when you’re hungry.”

Xu Jing lay on the bed with her back to her, still without any response.

Old Lady Xu shook her head and, too lazy to waste more words, turned and left.

…

The room was very quiet.

Xu Jing just lay there on her side, feeling utterly oppressed.

She felt like she was about to go mad.

Having returned here a week ago, it felt like she was in prison.

Although Old Lady Xu never said she couldn’t go out, they were in the suburbs, the countryside, surrounded by fields. Where could she go?

She didn’t even have anyone to talk to, for she was always greeted by Old Lady Xu’s incessant blaming and complaining.

After feeling sorry for herself for a while, Xu Jing got up.

She decided she would go to Italy to find her daughter; after all, there was nothing left for her here.

But then…

Xu Jing suddenly realized she couldn’t find her passport.

Thinking of how Mo Weiyi had suddenly called Old Lady Xu yesterday, and the fact that lately Old Lady Xu had simply ignored her inquiries about going anywhere…

So had they hidden her passport?

Did they intend to trap her in this tiny house for life?

Xu Jing hurried into the old lady’s bedroom.

The door wasn’t locked, so she entered and searched every possible hiding place, but she still couldn’t find her passport.

This further confirmed Xu Jing’s suspicions.

Not only had her passport been hidden, but it had been hidden very well…

She began frantically rummaging through drawers and cabinets until she finally found a sealed safe under the bed board, within a very concealed cabinet.

When she tried to open it, she found it had a combination lock.

It was the first time she had seen this safe. In fact, Old Lady Xu didn’t seem to have any secrets; a well-bred lady, she could have been enjoying afternoon tea in fancy clothes at a coffee shop in the city. Instead, she chose to live in the countryside year-round, gardening and cooking, working alongside the villagers, appearing no different from the other local old ladies.

But now, Xu Jing discovered that the old lady actually had such a safe.

It might contain her passport, or perhaps other valuable items.

Xu Jing thought for a moment and first entered the old lady’s birthday on the keypad.

It failed.

She frowned and tried various other combinations.

All attempts had failed.

But the more it happened, the more Xu Jing grew suspicious.

Her passport had to be inside.

Xu Jing furrowed her brows and thought carefully, then tried to input Mo Weiyi’s birthday.

After a crisp “ding” sound, the safe door swung open immediately.

Xu Jing couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

The old lady really did favor her granddaughter Mo Weiyi the most, even using her birthday for the safe’s password!

…

The safe wasn’t large, and besides a household registration book, a few bank cards, there was also a brown folder. Beyond that, there was no passport.

What’s going on?

Xu Jing checked everything one by one and finally picked up the folder.

After opening it, she saw a photocopy inside.

She had thought it was just some receipt or something, but when she saw the words written on it clearly.

Xu Jing’s eyes widened, and she was completely stunned…

**

It was half an hour later when Old Lady Xu returned.

In the living room, Xu Jing was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

“Xu Jing.”

There was no response.

Old Lady Xu put her things aside and approached, “Xu Jing, what’s wrong with you?”

Xu Jing came to her senses. She looked up at the old lady, “Mom, you’re back.”

Old Lady Xu glanced at the dining table, where the breakfast was obviously untouched.

“Are you continuing to fast?”

“No, I… I’m not hungry.” Xu Jing looked at Old Lady Xu with a complex expression in her eyes.

When Old Lady Xu looked back at her, she quickly averted her gaze.

“Your body and life are your own. If you can’t get past this, my words are futile…”

“Mom!” Xu Jing suddenly interrupted her, “I’ve made up my mind.”

Old Lady Xu frowned, “What have you decided?”

“I did indeed do something wrong.” Xu Jing’s tone was very sincere, “I shouldn’t blame Yiyi, nor should I blame my brother-in-law. I’ve really thought it through, it’s all my and Yunyao’s fault, so… I want to go to Italy to be with Yunyao.”

“…” Old Lady Xu was somewhat surprised.

But, it was naturally best for her daughter to come to her senses.

She said earnestly, “Xu Jing, it’s good that you’ve understood. You’re only forty years old, and there’s a long road ahead in life. Going to Italy to clear your mind is also good.”

Xu Jing nodded, “Mom, I’ll leave this afternoon.”

“So soon?”

“My passport has always been usable. I checked the tickets just now and there happens to be a flight to Rome this afternoon, so I booked it.”

“Alright then.” Old Lady Xu could only agree.

Xu Jing continued, “Mom, can you talk to Yiyi for me? She really hates me now, I guess she won’t answer my call.”

Old Lady Xu defended her granddaughter, “Don’t blame Yiyi. Anyone would have trouble getting past this. She’s already been generous with you.”

“I know.” Xu Jing’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Of course, she knew.

When had this niece ever shown regard for her aunt?

Just because she was the beloved daughter of the Mo Family, she was raised like a princess from childhood by the Mo family and the entire Nancheng would call her “princess,” developing her unworldly arrogant temperament, lacking the slightest sense of common courtesy, never showing a good face to relatives.

But only today did she discover that this princess…

Was very likely an imposter!

She actually found a 20-year-old adoption receipt from an orphanage in Old Lady Xu’s safe, a mere photocopy, yet it clearly had Mo Yaoxiong’s name and the signature of the orphanage’s director.

She didn’t know why Old Lady Xu would keep such a photocopy, but since it was locked in a safe and used Mo Weiyi’s birthday as the password, she couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Xu Jing’s heart was pounding wildly, partly excited, partly thrilled, yet she had to restrain herself from being discovered.

Because she couldn’t act rashly.

She had to go back first, to find Mo Weiyi and Mo Yaoxiong and take their blood to the hospital for a DNA paternity test.

If Mo Weiyi was really just a child adopted from an orphanage, an imposter princess, then everything would become easy.
