Chapter 450 - Bitter Coffee (1/2)
Chu Lui bent his body towards Li Manni and grabbed her chin hard. All he had seen in the past was her gentle face and kind nature. This was the wife he had chosen for himself. In order for her to be able to marry him, he dealt a deadly blow to another woman.
This was the wife he had doted on for the past four years, and this was how she had treated him.
”Li Manni, tell me. Is the baby in your stomach mine?” Chu Lui's hand rested on Li Manni's stomach. His cold fingertips were cold devoid of any body temperature. It shook Li Manni's heart, and she felt pain in her stomach. She almost thought this man was going to shove his hand straight into her stomach.
Her face became pale in an instant as she stared at the gloomy-faced man before her. Her hands and feet went numb. Did he know something?
No. No way. He couldn't have. There was no way he could have known about that.
Chu Lui gripped Li Manni's chin harder with his hand, and her face went ashen. At the same time, her heart was thumping with anxiety as unease began to well inside her. She could also feel that his hand was sucking all the heat from her body.
”Ah Lui…” Song Wan wanted to go to him, but Chu Jiang pulled her back. He shook his head at her. This was their son's personal matter. It would be best if they didn't interfere or question him. He would resolve it in his own way.
Chu Lui's face was emotionless. He simply stared at Li Manni with indifference in his eyes. There were no feelings, emotions, or love. Not even sympathy. Her evasion meant she was afraid that he would see her through. After all, he was Chu Lui. If he didn't possess even a tiny bit of observation, he wouldn't be worthy of the Chu family name. Neither would he be worthy of running such a big company like Chu Enterprise. He knew the conclusion, but he still wasn't able to accept it when he saw the confirmation in Li Manni's eyes.
”Tell me, Li Manni. Is it?” Chu Lui's voice became softer and softer. A gust of wind blew at them bringing along the frigid and piercing cold from the frosty snow.
It took Li Manni a long time to find her voice. ”Lui, are you trying to treat me like how you did to Xia Ruoxin four years ago? You can smear my character and doubt my loyalty. However, you can't doubt the identity of our baby.”
As Li Manni said, two rolls of tears fell from her eyes down her ashen face. Finally, they landed on the back of Chu Lui's hand.
Chu Lui merely sneered. Such beauty in those tears. In the past, he had been blinded by this woman. He thought he was a smart man, but in reality, he was the stupidest man who had been played by this woman.
He was such a failure to live his life in vain.
”You tell me.” Li Manni was determined to deny it to the till. ”Natural medicine will tell you if the baby inside me is yours.” Li Manni was dead set on betting on this fifty-percent chance.
She said it before. It could be Mi Dongfeng's, or it could be Chu Lui's. If she didn't hold on to this chance, she would fall into without any possibility of redeeming herself right here before this man.
”You want to know why?” Chu Lui suddenly laughed. It was an icy and terrifying laugh. He walked to the cabinet at the side, opened it, and took out a doc.u.ment. Then, he came back and shoved it into Li Manni's face.
”Do you want to take a look at what you have done to me?
