Chapter 372 - A Long Time (1/2)
She returned to the car and caressed her stomach gently. ”Child, you must grow up safely, because everything Mommy has depends on you now.” It was useless to depend on love anymore. Did that man even love her in the first place? It was useless to depend on the Chu couple, for they would take the side of their son. Her father only cared about how to cut more of the Chu Enterprise's orders and direct it to themselves.
Now, all she could depend on was this child.
She clearly knew in her heart that perhaps Chu Lui had never loved her. He doted on her, liked her, and gave her everything; but she could never feel his love. She thought that his love had died along with Xia Yixuan, and so she didn't fuss over a dead person and tried to convince herself that one day, she would receive his love. Now, everything had changed dramatically.
Xia Yixuan did not die, and Xia Ruoxin took her place. It could be anyone, anyone but Xia Ruoxin. Four years ago, she snatched Chu Lui from her; and four years later, she would not let her take Chu Lui back from her.
Her red lips curved slightly. ”Child, you must make your dad stay for me because everything in the Chu household belongs to us, not any other women. If not, I wouldn't let it go even if I die.”
…
Chu Lui got down from his car. He had stayed in his company for days—not because he was busy but because he didn't know how to face the wife inside. He had chosen to marry her himself, but now, he couldn't face her.
He placed a hand on his chest. He didn't want to lie to himself. He wanted to see the woman dearly. There were a lot of things he wanted to say to her, but he was afraid to meet her.
He feared that she would treat him coldly. He feared that everything she suffered through was because of him.
He opened the door and entered, but he narrowed his eyes and stared at the people inside.
His parents and Li Manni's parents were here. Their faces were filled with joy.
”Ah Lui. you're back. Come quick. I have something to tell you.” Song Wan called her son hurriedly and waved at him to come over when she saw him.
Chu Lui took a few steps closer. Sitting in the middle was Li Manni, who looked different from before. She was smiling and looking at him tenderly. What's wrong with her? Chu Lui's expression darkened. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange.
His instincts told him that the things they were all rejoicing and celebrating about definitely weren't something he would like.
”Dad, Mom. Why are you here?” He asked his mother. Song Wan just pulled Chu Lui's arms, all the worries she had in the past swept away.
”How could you be so careless, Lui? How could you, the husband, not know that Manni is pregnant? Be more careful this time. If anything happens to my grandson again, I'm going to cut ties with you.” Currently, to Song Wan, her grandson was more important than her son. As long as she had grandsons, she didn't need a son anymore. Her son wouldn't accompany her when he grew up, but a grandson was different. They could be with their grandson every day in the future and live, eat, and sleep together.
