Chapter 15: The First Confrontation Between Father and Son

Misery loves company.

Li Xinyue truly disliked the original owner.

As a mother, she couldn’t even protect her own child. What kind of mother was she?

That night, although the medicine wasn’t given by Li Xinye, she didn’t get poisoned. She could have prevented it.

But she didn’t!

Looking at Chen Mingchuan’s large face, it seemed even darker in the evening.

Actually, as a third party, Li Xinyue knew she had no right to call Chen Mingchuan a scumbag. He was a very upright person.

As a man, he was forced to have sex and couldn’t retaliate. How could he not hate it?

The deceased has passed away, leaving her, the soul from another world.

Let the past fade away, and let everyone go their own way.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xinyue spoke, “I don’t care what you mean, and I don’t want to know.”

“But I know a saying, ‘A king’s word is his bond.'”

“Although I’m not a soldier, I’m at least a military wife. My words are not to be taken back.”

“Chen Mingchuan, I don’t know why you’re helping me.”

“But I know you don’t want to see me at all. You’re not here to see me this time!”

“If I stubbornly refuse to divorce, I’ll just be a living widow for the rest of my life!”

“Chen Mingchuan, let’s get a divorce.”

“We’re both still young, and we have a long life ahead of us. Let’s forget about the past.”

“This is not a fit of anger, nor is it resentment.”

“This is the result of my thinking every night and day for the past five years, when I was almost exhausted.”

“I know that asking for a divorce will make you lose face.”

“You can tell everyone that it’s you who wants the divorce!”

“Actually, you were also planning to divorce this time you came back.”

As soon as these words fell, Chen Mingchuan was taken aback: How did she know?

One of the reasons he came back this time was to settle their marriage!

He had never mentioned this to anyone!

Yet she knew!

In an instant, Chen Mingchuan also noticed that the light in Li Xinyue’s eyes was gone.

The light that used to shine when she looked at him was gone.

Now, she was distant from him, not a fake coldness.

Chen Mingchuan knew how much Li Xinye used to love him.

Back then, her eyes would light up when she looked at him, her face would blush, and her heart was filled with him.

But now, it’s all gone.

This is good!!!

He doesn’t love her.

For the sake of the child, for the sake of responsibility, he can live with her.

But love is impossible.

The scene of being drugged that night remained in Chen Mingchuan’s mind like yesterday.

He, who was never loved by his parents, hated being oppressed and humiliated more than anything in his life.

But when he thought he could finally stand tall and hold his head high, Li Xinye’s older brother threatened him with his job to force him to marry her.

Not only did he marry her, but on the night of their wedding, he was drugged, and they spent the whole night together.

For Chen Mingchuan, this was a lifelong humiliation.

He, a man, was actually raped!

Even though it had been five years, he couldn’t forget it.

Whenever he thought of himself like a bull that night, he wanted to kill someone…

However, logically, Chen Mingchuan should feel relieved that Li Xinyue was the one who initiated the divorce.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt uncomfortable!

He didn’t know where this discomfort came from.

Chen Mingchuan never made a decision without being certain.

To avoid answering Li Xinyue’s question, he looked down at Chen Yiheng, who was obediently by her side.

“Is this our child?”

Since they were going to separate anyway, there was no need to involve him.

Li Xinyue answered expressionlessly, “No, this is not your child, it’s my child.”

“You merely provided a seed.”

“These years, I’ve been the one nurturing him, you have little to do with it!”

“Chen Mingchuan, I’m not saying this out of anger. This child can only be mine, you cannot take him away!”

“I have no objections or demands regarding the divorce.”

“My only condition is: the child must stay with me, otherwise, I’ll drag you down for a lifetime!”

“I mean what I say!”

“If you don’t agree to my terms this time, I will never divorce you!”

“If you dare to force a divorce, I will go to the entrance of your military base and hang myself!”

Chen Mingchuan’s mouth twitched: “…”

This woman, she’s still as ruthless as ever!

For this big child, he only contributed a seed?

“Mom, who is he?”

Chen Yiheng didn’t quite understand what they were talking about.

But he was curious about who this person was.

Looking at the child in front of him with a vigilant expression, Chen Mingchuan’s heart clenched.

The child was so thin!

He was just skin and bones!

Squatting down, Chen Mingchuan extended his hands with a friendly smile, “What’s your name? Son, I’m your father!”

“Honey, come to Daddy.”

Father?

No!

Hearing these two words, Chen Yiheng’s first reaction was: This is a liar!

He had already heard people say that his father was dead.

If he wasn’t dead, he wouldn’t have never come back to see him.

Looking at Chen Mingchuan’s outstretched hand, Chen Yiheng immediately stepped forward and tightly shielded Li Xinyue.

His face turned serious, and he loudly rebuked, “You’re a liar, I don’t believe you!”

“Don’t try to deceive me and my mom, I won’t believe you!”

“My uncles, aunts, and cousins all told me that my father died long ago, I don’t have a father!”

“Mom, you hide, I’ll chase this liar away!”

“I’m a man, I’ll protect you!”

Chen Mingchuan: “…”

 Uh! You, a little rooster, you’re a man?

You’re going to protect your mom?

But, the child’s uncles, aunts, and cousins, his brothers… they all said he was dead?

So, did his parents think the same?

 Indeed, in their hearts, his life or death didn’t matter!

If it weren’t for the money he sent back every month, no one would care about his life or death, right?

His breath suddenly became heavy.

From a young age, countless beatings, countless life and death separations, Chen Mingchuan had already forged a hard heart.

But at this moment, he discovered that a corner of his heart had suddenly melted.

This was his son, he already had a son, he was no longer alone in this world.

Seeing Chen Mingchuan’s face turn dark, Li Xinyue suddenly felt a little afraid.

Oh my god, is this man going to get angry?

This won’t do!

What if he scares the child…

The grievances between parents should not be inflicted on the child.

No matter what, Chen Mingchuan in front of him was the child’s biological father.

Li Xinyue was a person with a strong sense of justice.

Although she didn’t plan to get entangled with this man in front of her, she wouldn’t stop the child from acknowledging his father.

It wouldn’t be fair!
