Chapter 12 - Ruthlessness

n

n

nA woman’s scream woke Xia Nuan up.

nXia Nuan was afraid that the two babies got frightened. She walked toward the cradle and found they were sleeping tight. Then she walked over and closed the window.

n“Ye Sichen! Did you marry me just for show? Why? Why are you treating me like this?! I am your wife, Wuyou and Nianci’s mother!”

n

n

nA woman with disheveled hair stood beside a Lincoln car under a dim street lamp, roaring as loudly as she can. Slender and charming as she was, she wore a sportswear in long black and white strips, clutching Ye Sichen’s arm and questioning him.

n“You treat me just like a fertility machine. You wanna run out on me the moment I delivered the babies! You forbid me either to see them or to meet you. Your heart is colder than ice! Ye Sichen, you are a completely hypocrite!”

nYe Sichen was calm as water. The following words jumped out of his mouth coldly and simply, “Enough. Just divorce.”

n“No! Forget it! Don’t you remember what you promised me? You said that you would live together with me till old and grey! You said that!” With a trace of fear in her eyes, Luo Dai’er felt that it was impossible for him to get back to her. She suddenly hugged him from behind, almost humbly pleaded, “Ye, the beach photos are just posing ones. I did all these just to piss you off. You always turn your back on me, so I pretend to have an engagement in a fit of pique. As your wife, I just want you to care about me! Ye, I love you. I can’t live without you!”

n

n

n“Ken, give her the agreement and make it signed.” Ye Sichen coldly broke apart her delicate fingers that wrapped around his waist, and left without giving her a look.

nKen handed the divorce agreement to Luo Dai’er. She was nearly desperate. Seeing this, she smiled drily and coldly, and then tore it into pieces.

n“Ye Sichen, you are so ruthless! You’ve been imposing on me all the time!” Luo Dai’er shouted at his back heart-wrenchingly.

nXia Nuan was shocked when she saw this.

n

n

nShe didn’t know his ruthlessness until then.

nXia Nuan couldn’t help to looking at the two babies lying in the cradles. She felt pity for them.

nThe babies would be unfortunate once they got divorced.

nAt this time, Xia Nuan heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and found Ye Sichen standing there.

n“Sir, you are back.”

nWith no response, he walked past her and got close to the cradles. His distressed eyes were decorated with melancholy. He slowly sat down, gazing at his children in a daze.

n

n

nSeeing him alone in grief, Xia Nuan poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. But he did not pick it up.

nShe didn’t know what he was thinking, so she merely held her breath and stood aside silently.

nIn these days, the media has been reporting his anecdotes with suspicion of his sexual orientation in the case of Luo Dai’er’s dating. In a word, the media pried into everything about him. Several days ago, it was said that he had abnormal sexual orientation. These days, the rumor indicated that he had no fertility and he was not Wuyou and Nianci’s natural father.

nYe Sichen was too low-key to care about the slanders from the media, but it did not mean that he had no pressure.

n“You can go to sleep now. I will be with them tonight.” Ye Sichen hoarsely said to Xia Nuan after a long time of silence.

n“Ok, sir, have an early rest.” Xia Nuan nodded. Before leaving the room, she turned back and looked at Ye Sichen, “Wuyou and Nianci are too young to grow and live without a mother.”

nYe Sichen looked Xia Nuan in her eyes. Suddenly his sights turned into a warning stare, “Xia Nuan, just know that your duty is to take care of my children.”

n“Yes, sir.” Xia Nuan knew that Ye Sichen didn’t like her nosiness, so she judiciously shut the door and went to her bedroom.

n

n

nThe next morning, when Xia Nuan aired the clothes for the babies on the balcony, she found a woman curling up in the grass outside the villa.

nThat was Luo Dai’er. She stayed there the whole night and never left.

nThe gardener Ming Sen walked over, talked to her a few words, and then hurried into the villa.

nImmediately, Ken got the news from Ming Sen, and headed to the room to call Ye Sichen. After a while, Ye Sichen went downstairs, dressed with loose clothes in red and black.

nYe Sichen went out and said something to Luo Dai’er. Then she fell into his arms. This time he did not push her away. Instead, he lifted her body up and got on the car.

nLuo Dai’er seemed to get faint for collapse.

nWithout thinking too much, Xia Nuan washed the children’s clothes and went into the room to feed them.

n“Xia Nuan, have you fed the babies?” Lian walked in and asked Xia Nuan.

nXia Nuan nodded.

n“Then help me buy a pack of pads. I’m on my period. My belly aches.” Lian covered her belly uncomfortably.

nXia Nuan wanted to have a good relationship with Lian, so she was readily agreed.

nAfter receiving money from Lian, Xia Nuan went out of the villa and ran into Ming Sen, who was very enthusiastic to say hello to her.

n“Xia Nuan, are you going out to go shopping?”

n

n

n“Yes, Ming Sen.”

nMing Sen seemed embarrassed and then he gave some money to Xia Nuan, “Would you help me bring a pack of milk powder? I don’t have time to buy it and my child has to fall back on milk powder for he has no breast milk to get.”

n“Okay, which brand do you want?” Xia Nuan smiled. The gardener Ming Sen was a single father. He had a son about the same age as Wuyou. Ye Sichen was very considerate. Knowing his situation, Ye Sichen allowed him to bring his child to work.

nXia Nuan bore in her mind the brand which was told by Ming Sen.

nAfter walking for a while and passing a large and spectacular fountain, Xia Nuan arrived at the supermarket. She bought pads and the milk powder, and got ready to go back.

n“Miss, can I have a word with you?”

nA woman with glasses came over, blocking her way.
