Chapter 321 - He had been lying to her this entire time (2)

”You've already followed me here. Why are you saying this now?” Xis.h.i.+ coquettishly pouted. Tugging on the lapel of Ji Man's robe, she said, ”I'm a widow, and I don't care about my reputation. When I was at that rich person's place, I didn't dare to make a wrong move, so it's been so long since I had a taste of being ravished.”

Ji Man grabbed her hand and nervously laughed. ”Older sister, there's no need to hurry. I'm kind of curious. What kind of place did you go to? Since it was a rich household, what caused you to become so upset over it?”

Xis.h.i.+ harrumphed. At the mention of this topic, she still felt somewhat indignant. ”I had originally thought it was a boon from the Heavens. Someone appeared out of the blue, gave me a child, and wanted me to go to his household to be a mother for his child. But, as it turned out, he just wanted me to be a milk mother. He even said that I didn't look as good as the child's biological mother. I felt so mad today.”

Ji Man was stunned. It took a long time before she found her voice again. ”Haohao isn't your son?”

”Of course not.” Xis.h.i.+ blurted out. A moment later, her entire body stiffened as she looked at Ji Man. ”You...”

After Ji Man had taken a deep breath, she suddenly burst out in laughter.

If Haohao wasn't Xis.h.i.+'s son, then who were his parents? Since Ning Yuxuan had announced Haohao as his heir, Haohao had to be Ning Yuxuan's biological son. When would he have gotten a son that appeared out of nowhere and needed a fake mother?

Thinking it over, it had to be her child that had disappeared back then. Haohao was the child that had been replaced with a toddy kitten. Ning Yuxuan had felt it was safe to bring Haohao back into the household by saying he was another woman's son.

Ning Yuxuan, ah, Ning Yuxuan, you played such an underhanded trick. By keeping her in the dark, he had caused her so much pain.

Slowly standing up and heading towards the door, Ji Man almost couldn't stop her hysterical laughter. Her son had been right in front of her, and she had even seen his birthday grab, but she hadn't known that he was her child.

”Who are you?” Xis.h.i.+ returned to her senses and grabbed Ji Man's arm. Xis.h.i.+'s pull was so forceful that Ji Man almost fell to the ground. But, suddenly, someone had grabbed her other arm and stopped her from falling.

Xis.h.i.+ shrieked. Ji Man didn't see who was behind her and didn't know what had happened. Before she could come to her senses, the other person had already taken her outside and towards a carriage.

There was the sound of children crying in the fis.h.i.+ng village, as well as a woman swearing. Ji Man blankly raised her head and saw the face that she wanted to smack the most right now.

Ning Yuxuan was holding Haohao and quietly looking at her.

Ji Man clenched her hands. She really wanted to hit him, but she didn't dare to strike down. In this society where men had all the power, if a woman slapped a man and offended his sense of dignity, then there was no use in even discussing if there was love between the two of you. Anyways, a woman wouldn't have a good end.

”This face looks really ugly,” Ning Yuxuan lightly said.

With her attention focused on the child that he was holding, she absent-mindedly asked, ”How do you know that it's me?”
