C23 (2/2)

Between them, even children?

Xu Miao Rong placed the diagnosis certificate back into her bag, her beautiful eyes showing traces of a victorious smile.

She slowly walked forward and leaned forward, her stained lips next to Lan Yue's ear. She breathed out and her tone filled with malice, ”Lan Yue, you used the guilt and shame of the banquet lord to shamelessly force him to marry you. Now that I have his child, shouldn't you return the original position of Young Lady Qi to me?”

”Dinner Lord, for your father's sake, isn't willing to explain things to you, but I don't want our child to become an illegitimate child.”

”What's more, are you, as a servant's daughter, worthy to be the Qi Family's Young Mistress?”

Lan Yue's body trembled, she reached out her hands to support the wall, only to barely be able to stabilize her wobbly steps, and barely managed to hear her unkind words, her mind filled with only one thought —

Then what was she? What was the baby in her belly?

The last bit of luck in his heart had completely disappeared, and it was as if a tall building had collapsed in an instant. Lan Yue laughed bitterly, and his heart seemed to have been cut open, bleeding profusely.

He raised his chin slightly and continued, ”Lan Yue, you are a smart person. You know how to choose things that are more beneficial to you, and while the banquet lord still has a little pity for you, while I still have some patience —”

”Get lost as far as you can! Otherwise, I won't be lenient anymore! ”

She coldly snorted, looked at Lan Yue with disdain, and quickly left the floor with arrogant steps.

Lan Yue seemed to have lost her soul as she stood there in a daze. After an unknown period of time, she slowly squatted down and covered her face with her hands, causing her thin shoulders to sway from side to side. Large drops of tears fell through her fingers and wet the back of her hand.

It turned out that this really was her one-sided wish.

As it turned out, there was no place for her in his heart at all.

It was time to wake up from this dream.

Lan Yue stood up, her numb legs were extremely heavy, like a zombie, she walked forward mechanically with a wooden face until she bumped into a snow-white wall. The intense pain caused her to regain her senses, she instinctively wiped her face and saw a wet liquid on her palm.

She shook her head mockingly and casually wiped her face. Without caring that it was not time to get off work yet, she stumbled out of the building, got a taxi and headed towards military compound.

Along the way, she was in a daze, as if she was awake, or as if she was in a dream.

”Young Madam, have some tea.”

The maid brought a cup of green tea over. Lan Yue looked at her absentmindedly, as if she wanted to laugh, but was unable to do so. She said softly with a stiff expression, ”Can you give me a cup of milk?”

The maid pursed her lips and said, ”Wait a moment.”

She took the tray and walked into the kitchen, but didn't pour Lan Yue any milk. Instead, she turned to another maid who was mopping the floor, ”She doesn't drink tea for her, but instead wants some milk. Does she really think she is the proper master of the Qi Family? If it wasn't for the piece of meat in her stomach, she would have left long ago. ”

”Just bear with it, it's only ten months or so anyway. Once she's done with her life, she'll probably be swept out of the house. There's no need to be fawning on her even if we don't beat around the bush.”

”True.”

”...”

Lan Yue, who had good hearing, listened carefully to these words. The hand in her lap was clenched into a fist, and the back of her hand erupted with fine veins, but very quickly, she loosened it again. A feeling of powerlessness struck her heart, and after exhaling a breath of air, she stood up and walked upstairs without looking back.

”Young madam, do you not want your milk?”

Ignoring the voices behind him, Lan Yue held onto the armrest as he walked up the stairs.

”Pui, you don't know what's good for you!”

The maid rolled her eyes and tossed the empty glass into the sink.

Lan Yue sat on the sofa in front of the window, the light purple curtains fluttered in the breeze, it brushed against her face and brought along an itch. She raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky, her eyes filled with spirit energy and calmness, revealing a sense of emptiness and loss, as though a lost child could not find his way home.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, she was still unable to calm down.

She could no longer find a reason to persevere. She even felt that waiting was a form of torture.

Lan Yue took out the phone in her pocket, opened it, unlocked it, and then opened the contact icon. Her smooth fingertips paused for a long time on a number, she bit her lower lip, and the confusion in her eyes was gradually replaced with determination.

”Du, du, du ~ ~ ~”

Gritting her teeth, she dialed the number.

After a few seconds of calling, the call connected.

”Hello, is this Lawyer Ai? I am the famous Lan Yue, do you still remember me? ”

”It's the Miss Lan. Remember, thank you for putting on such beautiful makeup for me on my wedding day.” The other laughed, ”I've never been able to thank you properly. Let's meet again when you have the time. I'll treat you to a meal.”

”No need.” Lan Yue tried to make her voice less hoarse, ”It's like this — —” She stopped for a moment, lowered her eyes to block the struggling expression inside, and said with difficulty: ”I heard that Lawyer Ai is responsible for the divorce case, I want to ask you to take care of the divorce case between me and my husband Qi Yanjun, is that possible?”

”...”
