C363 To Fulfill His Wife's Duty
Hai Xiaomin had a very big reaction three months before she got pregnant. Since she was pregnant for more than a month, she had been suffering from nausea and vomiting. According to the doctor, her physical condition seemed to be quite poor, and he suggested not to have this child for now. But after that time, the doctor did not mention this matter again. He put his focus on how to treat her body.
Ever since that day when she accidentally dialed that number, her mood became more and more depressed until the door was knocked. Hai Xiaomin looked up faintly and saw Ian standing at the door. She did not know how long he had been there.
"Is something the matter?" Hai Xiaomin asked expressionlessly.
During this period of time, she had almost never interacted with Ian. Hai Xiaomin did not want to see him. This man made her reject him!
Ian had been behaving normally these days. Other than doing his job well, he did not overstep his boundaries. He also did not try to change Hai Xiaomin's view of him. "Young Master is here. Grandfather called us over."
Hearing that, Hai Xiaomin opened her eyes wide and her pupils shrank.
The entire building of the villa had the architectural style of ancient Greece. The living room was in the shape of a half moon. There were a few stone pillars carved with reliefs. The marble floor could be seen clearly. The ceiling was designed with a transparent window and the room was bright.
The decorations in the room were mainly white, gray, and gold in color.
In such an environment, Old Nazhi and Ling Yao sat across from each other.
"I heard that you were depressed for a period of time. Now that I see you pull yourself together, I feel very gratified." Old Nazhi put the cane by his side, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said lightly.
Ling Yao's face was cold. "Thank you for your concern."
When Hai Xiaomin came over, she saw a scene like this. The living room was silent. Old Nazhi and Ling Yao kept talking to each other. The atmosphere in the living room was heavy.
After so many days, she finally saw Ling Yao again.
Compared to when she left, Ling Yao's handsome side seemed to have become thinner. The outline seemed to be more profound, and it was as sharp as a knife.
When Hai Xiaomin heard the news of his arrival, a huge wave rose in her heart. She could not wait to see him. Her heart was filled with uncertainty. She could not guess what kind of situation they would be in when they met again.
She came here with a perturbed mood, but when she came in, the man only glanced at her indifferently, then moved his eyes away and continued to chat with Old Nazhi.
She had lost a lot of weight!
Didn't she come here to take care of the baby?
Did they mistreat her?
Thinking of this, Ling Yao couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Ling Yao's cold reaction... It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on Hai Xiaomin's head. She shifted her gaze and saw Laecia sitting beside Ling Yao.
He brought Laecia along?
So he was here to show off. A bitter self-deprecating smile appeared on Hai Xiaomin's lips.
"Grandfather, we are here." At this time, Ian, who was following closely behind Hai Xiaomin, came forward and stood side by side with Hai Xiaomin.
Old Nazhi turned his head and smiled kindly. "What are you standing there for? Come and sit."
The sofa was surrounded by three sides of the coffee table. Old Nazhi and Ling Yao sat across from each other. Laecia sat beside Ling Yao. The only thing left was the sofa on their side, and there was no one by Old Nazhi's side.
Logically speaking, the two juniors should sit on the sofa beside them. Ian sat down. However, Hai Xiaomin did not know why, but she had a stroke in her head. She sat down on the sofa beside Mr. Nazhi and faced Ling Yao and Laecia face to face.
This action caused Old Nazhi to look sideways. He saw Hai Xiaomin raise her head and chest. She had a determined look on her face, and her eyes were calm and fearless. This little girl had a bit of a temper.
However, it was only a little bit of attention. Old Nazhi withdrew his gaze. Anyway, it was a family gathering, so there was no need to care about such small details.
Hai Xiaomin first had eyes contact with Laecia.
"Hai, long time no see." Laecia smiled slightly. Her beautiful ocean-like blue eyes were filled with a smile and there was a hidden meaning behind it.2
"Miss Lance too." Hai Xiaomin politely nodded her head to show her response. Her eyes quickly shifted away and met Ling Yao's gaze. In an instant, it was as if a needle had pierced her heart, causing her heart to feel like it was suffocating.
She subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes and tried her best not to show her emotions on the surface.
"Since everyone is present, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the divorce agreement." Old Nazhi suddenly threw out a sentence and instantly gathered the four pairs of eyes on him.
Divorce agreement!
"Xiaomin, if you have any requests for divorce with Qiao, feel free to tell us." Old Nazhi did not seem to notice the strange gazes of the crowd. He looked at Hai Xiaomin gently and continued to speak.
Hai Xiaomin felt that her throat was somewhat stuck and her expression was very unnatural. "Why, why did you suddenly say this?"
"There are no outsiders here. Everyone knows the situation very well. Since the two of them are no longer suitable to be together, there is no need to forcefully maintain the marriage and waste each other's time. If the two of you divorce, then you and Ian's child can be legally born. Isn't this good?" Old Nazhi smiled kindly.
Hai Xiaomin could not smile. Divorcing with Ling Yao and giving birth to Ian had completely deviated from her original intention.
She wanted to prove that the child was Ling Yao's, in order to save the marriage!
But things had developed to this stage, which exceeded Hai Xiaomin's expectations. She and Ian were not as innocent as she had insisted before. After she left Ling Yao's side, Laecia took advantage of the situation and took over her position!
Just as her face was ashen and her heart was in a panic, a cold and angry voice exploded. "Don't come to a conclusion too early. It is not certain who the child is. Even if it is not mine, so what? Hai Xiaomin is still my woman. Do you want to kick her away from me with just a child?"
Hai Xiaomin's heart shook violently!
Ling Yao, he...
"Actually, besides visiting grandpa, I came this time to bring her home." Ling Yao spun the ring on his pinky, his eyes slanted towards Hai Xiaomin.
At this moment, Hai Xiaomin's breathing became more urgent, and her eyes turned slightly red. However, at this moment, Old Nazhi gently let go of the coffee cup and said with an indifferent tone, "She cannot go back with you."
Hai Xiaomin was stunned. Ling Yao's fierce eyes narrowed and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes. "Grandfather, what do you mean?"
He wanted to forcefully detain her?
"I can not interfere with the emotional entanglement between you young people. But since it involves the bloodline of the Nazhi family, I can't just sit by and do nothing." Old Nazhi looked at Hai Xiaomin's belly and said. "Whether he is Qiao's child or Ian's child. They are both my great-grandsons, Xiaomin. I think as the mother of the child, you should be able to understand my feelings the most. "
“...” Hai Xiaomin could not agree with this, because she had thought of taking a risk. She wanted to do a paternity test for the child during pregnancy. If it was not Ling Yao's, she did not plan to keep him.
As a mother, she was also a wife. She should perform her duty as a wife first!
