Although she had heard about the return of Chu Xia from Ji Liunian, Xu Zhiyin did not expect to see Chu Xia in her and Ji Liunian's bedroom.
Although she grew up with Chu Xia, every time she saw Chu Xia, Xu Zhiyin would still be hit by her beauty.
Chu Xia looked at her with her coffee-colored eyes, "Zhiyin."
"…Why are you here?" Despite her good temper, that moment, Xu Zhiyin still felt a surge of fury in her chest.
This was her house, her bedroom and Chu Xia appeared in her room, wearing her pajamas and smoking in her room without her permission.
Chu Xia had regarded this place as her own house. She answered calmly, "I slept here last night."
Her words made Xu Zhiyin's face burn with fury, "How can you be like this? This is Liunian's and my room. How can you stay here openly?"
She and Ji Liunian just divorced yesterday and Chu Xia had shifted into her house. Should this happen so quickly?
Chu Xia stood up and looked at Xu Zhiyin in the eye. Both of them grew up together. How could she not know Xu Zhiyin was angry? She flipped her long hair and explained casually, "Liunian was not feeling well last night. I came to see him. That's why I stayed here."
"Even if he was not feeling well, he should call a doctor. This is a bad excuse!" It was only one night and she was impatient to shift in with him? Did it need to be so fast?
Xu Zhiyin could pretend not to know what they did outside but why did she want to be so disgusting in front of her?
Chu Xia frowned. She hated to be questioned closely like this. She crossed her arms and answered back proudly, "That's right! This question should be directed to you. When Liunian was not feeling well, why did he not call you, his wife, a doctor but instead called me?"
"…"
These words were unbearable to Xu Zhiyin. Every time Ji Liunian had problems, he had never told her. At the bottom of his heart, she probably was just a piece of display item and not a wife.
However, he was totally different in front of Chu Xia. He loved Chu Xia and craved for her love and care…
This was the difference!
Xu Zhiyin kept biting her lip. She had never felt so helter-skelter and embarrassed before and this happened in front of Chu Xia. The one thing she hated the most was to be looked down upon by Chu Xia.
Chu Xia was pretty and outstanding. Since young, everyone around them would compare Xu Zhiyin with her.
No matter how much effort Xu Zhiyin put forth, as long as she was compared to Chu Xia, she was of no match.
She didn't have Chu Xia's intelligence and beauty. When compared, she was very ordinary.
Chu Xia saw that Xu Zhiyin was hit by her words. She didn't want the atmosphere to be this stiff. She shrugged and purposely said in a relaxed manner, "I didn't mean to make you upset. I was just joking with you. I only borrowed your room for one night. Don't worry. Nothing happened between Liunian and I. He didn't touch me."
Xu Zhiyin looked at this woman, puzzled. Why was she explaining to her?
This was completely different from the Chu Xia she had known!
Xu Zhiyin had not completely understood what Chu Xia meant and did not really hear Chu Xia's next sentence. "I bet you wish to know why? I'm pregnant. Liunian is afraid to hurt the baby in my stomach. That's why he wouldn't touch me."
Chu Xia caressed her stomach gently. In it was a little life.
What entered Xu Zhiyin's ears were only a few words 'I'm pregnant!'.
She staggered backward. Initially, she thought Chu Xia just returned and Ji Liunian wanted a divorce. She never expected Chu Xia to be pregnant. She had been kept in the dark all this time…
Chu Xia walked toward Xu Zhiyin and pretended to say by accident, "I didn't expect you to not deliver a baby after three years of marriage with Liunian while I became pregnant so quickly!"
By now, if Xu Zhiyin could still not make out Chu Xia's intention to provoke her, then she was too dumb!
The words of this evil woman were all spat out on purpose!
Despite Xu Zhiyin's usual rationality, she had been forced into a breakdown by Chu Xia. She roared, "You're shameless! Even if Liunian loves you, you are just the third party."
She had not regretted a decision as much as her decision to agree to the divorce. Why did she agree to the divorce? Why did she give this woman in front of her the opportunity? She had eloped with a man and still came back to Ji Liunian shamelessly?
She had even come to their house to show how close she was to Ji Liunian!
If she had not divorced, Chu Xia who was pregnant could only be the third party.
But now, what was the use of regret?
They had signed the divorce papers and their marriage was now dissolved.
Chu Xia didn't mind the word 'third party', "Who is the third party? You should know better than me. The person Liunian loves has always been me. If I didn't leave, do you think you would have had the chance to marry him? It has been three years. Your family has taken enough benefits from him. Now, I'm only letting you return him to me!"
"But you have abandoned him! That time, when you eloped with that man, have you thought of his position? Do you know how embarrassed and upset he was?"
If that hadn't been the case, Ji Liunian would not have married Xu Zhiyin.
Chu Xia said, "I know I've wronged Liunian but he has forgiven me. You have no right to blame me, because I've not done anything wrong toward you. You had the chance to be Mrs. Ji for three years, all because I left. If I were you, I'd be grateful."
"You mean I'm not grateful?" Could she be grateful that Chu Xia appeared in her room?
Chu Xia looked at Xu Zhiyin. "I understand that Liunian is outstanding and this makes it hard for you to part with him but don't be too greedy as it will make you look ugly."
Xu Zhiyin felt like crying but thought crying was useless. She dug her fingernails deep into her palm, "Yes, I'm greedy and ungrateful but I've never done anything to wrong him. What good do you have? You've done extreme things but he still loves you deeply?"
How could a woman who eloped with a man, make Ji Liunian unable to forget her?
Chu Xia smiled, "I should be the one asking you the question. Where did you get the confidence to like Ji Liunian?"
Xu Zhiyin was speechless.
Ji Liunian was the eldest son in the Ji family. He had become a lawyer at a young age and until now, had not lost any case.
It isn't just in Xu Zhiyin's eyes, even in all his ex-schoolmates' eyes, he was the one and only outstanding man.
Ji Liunian was such an outstanding man and she liked him…
Had she bitten off more than she could chew?
