Ji Liunian apologized, "I've wronged you but I didn't expect the news of our divorce to spread so quickly."
"It's all my fault." Although he didn't mention, Xu Zhiyin knew he meant this, "If my mother didn't go to the hospital, it won't spread! Yes, it's all my fault…"
"I never said that."
"There's nothing wrong with this. You don't have to be nervous. I don't wish to remarry you either. Since the day we divorced, we have cut ties."
She was ruthless. She would rather say she was setting her goal than to say she was defending her pride in front of Ji Liunian.
Ji Liunian was silent for a while and did not mention about Chuxia again. He asked, "Does the man treat you well?"
"…" Xu Zhiyin looked at Ji Liunian. His look was filled with care for her. He was actually concerned about her life. This was the first time after the divorce, but…
To Xu Zhiyin, it was awkward listening to this topic.
She smiled. "Yes! Quite well."
There wasn't such a person but she was afraid to embarrass herself in front of Ji Liunian.
Just when Xu Zhiyin ended her sentence, a familiar voice was heard, "Liunian."
Outside the fence, Chuxia was standing there wearing a white long dress and a pair of white slippers. She did not have heavy makeup and under the moonlight, she looked like the moon goddess.
"Why are you here?" The moment Ji Liunian saw Chuxia, he lost his cool. He walked over toward her. "The doctor says you have to rest properly. Why did you come out?"
She had just gone through a miscarriage and was now in confinement.
Chuxia smiled gently. "I came back to see my mother and was chased out by her. I knew you were here so I thought I'd come over. Zhiyin, please open the door for me."
A few days ago, she was still spitting evil words at Zhiyin but now, she could feign gentleness…
Xu Zhiyin looked at her but didn't move.
Chuxia said, "I'm here to see Uncle and Aunty. Are you still angry with me? If you are, I'll apologize!"
When they were young, every time when Chuxia was scolded by her parents, she would come over to look for Xu Zhiyin and every time, she did what she did just now. "Zhiyin, please open the door. I'll sleep at your place tonight."
Then, she would start grumbling and complaining that her parents lost their temper at her for little things.
Chuxia was an active person and would go astray and rebel. So, despite her being outstanding, she was often blamed by her parents.
When they were young, she would hide in Xu Zhiyin's house. Of course, her mother would come and look for her the next day.
As she reminisced, Xu Zhiyin's heart softened. She asked the servant to open the door between Ji Liunian and Chuxia.
Ji Liunian didn't want her to come in. "You're not feeling well. I'll get the driver to send you home first."
On such occasion, if Chuxia were to appear here, it would undoubtedly create lots of problems. Ji Liunian didn't want Chuxia to meet his parents.
Chuxia held his hand. "Liunian, Uncle and Aunty are in there, aren't they? I'll go in and greet them."
"Chuxia." Ji Liunian advised her, "Go home first."
"Why?" Chuxia looked at Ji Liunian innocently, as if she didn't understand his intention. "Are you afraid they don't like me? No worries. Even if they don't like me, I still have to say hello to them! I'll have to face this problem sooner or later, right?"
Chuxia knew Ji Liunian had come here to see Xu Zhiyin today.
She knew the Ji family members wished Ji Liunian would remarry Xu Zhiyin. If she didn't appear, Liunian might be convinced by his family members!
She could never allow this to happen.
Although her presence might be detested by everyone, she believed the more they hated her, the more Ji Liunian would be dead set on her.
Anyway, it was sufficient for her to only have Ji Liunian.
At the thought of this, Chuxia held Ji Liunian's hand and went into the house happily.
When Mr. Ji and Madam Ji saw Chuxia, their face sank.
On the other hand, Chuxia was all smiles as if she couldn't feel the sudden coldness in the atmosphere in the living hall because of her presence. She stood beside Ji Liunian and greeted, "Hello Uncle and Aunty. It's been a long time since we last met."
Mr. Ji and Madam Ji were silent.
Ji Liunian tried to ease the atmosphere, afraid that she would feel awkward, "Father, Mother, Chuxia is here to see you."
Madam Ji ignored Chuxia. Her vision fell on Xu Zhiyin who had just come in. "How was your discussion about remarrying?"
"Liunian is with me now. He won't remarry Zhiyin."
Xu Zhiyin just walked in and upon hearing this, she was stunned.
She felt it was funny. Ji Liunian just said Chuxia was pitiful. Which part of her made her look pitiful?
This woman knew what she wanted and knew how to fight for herself.
She didn't care how people would regard her.
Even if someone were to scold her, she would not get hurt.
That moment, Ji Liunian was just as stunned when he heard what Chuxia had said.
"Really?" There was fire hidden on the bottom of Madam Ji's eyes. How could she not sense Chuxia's presence was to create havoc?
Just as her suggestion of remarriage had shed some light, Chuxia appeared.
Ji Liunian had been forced by Chuxia's gesture to a stage where he had no more choice. Chuxia had announced their relationship, how could he push Chuxia away?
He could do this to any other woman but not to Chuxia.
He had no choice but admitted, "Yes, I'm with Chuxia now. So, I won't remarry Zhiyin."
Madam Xu was anxious. She stood up, "Chuxia, what do you want? Did you come to my house to snatch Liunian? Are you not afraid I'll tell your parents?"
Chuxia held Ji Liunian's arm and replied, "I've just been chased out by my mother. My parents have disowned me. From now on, I only have Liunian. So, can you please let me be with him? Zhiyin is blessed to have all of you still caring for her and moreover, she doesn't love Liunian."
"Nonsense! How do you know my daughter doesn't love Ji Liunian?" Madam Xu was extremely furious. This witch had driven her mad.
Chuxia said, "Zhiyin and Liunian had been married for three years but have not delivered a child. Aunty, don't you wish to know why?"
"…" Madam Xu was taken aback.
She had thought Xu Zhiyin might be too busy at work and had advised her not to put all her attention on work only. However, there hadn't been good news.
Madam Xu defended Xu Zhiyin, "They are still young. There's no rush to have a baby."
Chuxia smiled and didn't expect Madam Xu to pamper Xu Zhiyin. She darted a look at the silent Xu Zhiyin and said in front of everyone present, "That's because they have not been really together. Until now, Liunian has never slept with Zhiyin."
