Chapter 32.1

Her voice trembled, “Jiang Zhe, why are you here?”

She had just returned and was already in a mess.

Jiang Yu quickly asked the other her in her mind what was happening, but this time there was no response.

She had no choice but to face Jiang Zhe, who was walking towards her, and try to explain, “Jiang Zhe, I, I have nothing to do with him, please don’t misunderstand.”

The man’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her, his gaze dark and sinister, something Jiang Yu had never seen before.

Jiang Yu felt her vision darken. It was over; Jiang Zhe surely misunderstood.

She turned to Lin Sicheng, who was still in pain, and threatened fiercely, “You better explain to your uncle quickly, or I’ll destroy you.”

Lin Sicheng, writhing in pain, saw Jiang Yu swaying before him and glanced at his uncle watching from a distance. His heart suddenly calmed, and he displayed a self-righteous expression, sneering, “Uncle, she is unfaithful. She seduced me.”

Lin Sicheng felt he was sacrificing his purity for his uncle.

The air was silent for a few seconds. Just as Jiang Yu was about to step forward and kick the foolish man again, Jiang Zhe spoke, “Come here.”

Jiang Yu glared at Lin Sicheng before walking over.

The man extended his hand, and Jiang Yu took it. After pulling her behind him, Jiang Zhe looked at Lin Sicheng with a cold expression. “Lin Sicheng, I hope you remember this. No matter what happened before, she is now my wife. I expect you to watch your words and actions.”

Lin Sicheng’s eyes widened. This was probably the harshest thing his uncle had ever said to him.

All because of this unfaithful woman.

As Jiang Yu predicted, the two had finally fallen out.

Realizing her thoughts, Jiang Yu knew this was likely the other her’s intention.

So, was today’s incident meant to turn them against each other?

If she saw her husband entangled with her relative, she’d be furious too, right?

She’d be livid.

Did she dislike Jiang Zhe so much? Did she also want to divorce him?

Would Jiang Zhe get so angry that he’d divorce her?

After warning Lin Sicheng, Jiang Zhe took Jiang Yu away. His grip on her hand was not gentle, clearly furious.

What a mess!

Jiang Yu used to find his stern face intimidating, but now, truly angry, he was even more terrifying.

She was scared to breathe.

How should she explain this now?

Reaching the outside, Jiang Zhe pushed her into the passenger seat, even fastening her seatbelt himself, lips pressed tight without a word.

“Jiang Zhe, um…”

He ignored her, walked around to the driver’s seat, and drove straight home.

During the car ride, Jiang Yu tried several times to speak to him, but every time she saw his grim expression, she lost her nerve. What should she do? Jiang Zhe’s face looked so fierce; would he hit her when they got home? Probably not, but he had caught his wife in a compromising situation, and men seemed to care a lot about that.

Nonsense, she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Jiang Yu’s scalp tingled as she tried to explain to Jiang Zhe, “Jiang Zhe, really, there’s nothing between us. I have nothing to do with him.”

Jiang Yu: TT

What a damn mess. Was there anyone who could save her?

The man showed no emotion on his face and said coldly, “Speak, I’m listening.”

“I really have nothing to do with him. We were just, just chatting, yes, chatting.”

Even Jiang Yu didn’t believe her own words, but at the moment, she couldn’t think of any other explanation. She cautiously watched his expression, and seeing the steam almost rising from Jiang Zhe’s head, she asked in a small voice, “You wouldn’t be so angry that you’d want a divorce, right?”

The tires screeched as the car pulled over to the side of the road. The man turned his head, his expression tense as he looked at her.

Jiang Yu spoke softly, “Actually, a divorce wouldn’t be so bad. Our marriage was a misunderstanding from the start. Now that the child is born, separating might be for the best.”

Jiang Yu felt a bit reluctant to let him go, but since the situation had become so irreparable, a divorce seemed the only option.

Jiang Zhe said nothing, just looked at her coldly, making Jiang Yu’s heart flutter.

She felt like he was glaring at her. She didn’t understand; she had already suggested a divorce, so why was he glaring at her? She glared back, saying, “I’ve already agreed to a divorce, so why are you glaring at me? I have nothing to do with him. If you think we do, then let’s divorce. I’m not afraid.”

“I won’t even take the child. The child will stay with you.”

Jiang Yu initially wanted to say she wouldn’t take his money either, but who would be foolish enough not to divide the property in a divorce? So she didn’t continue.

He could give her as much or as little as he wanted.

Jiang Yu glanced at his expression again, which seemed even darker now.

She didn’t understand why he was still angry when they had already agreed on a divorce.

As soon as she got back, her brain started to hurt. Jiang Yu felt a bit tired, yawned, and closed her eyes to rest.

When the car stopped downstairs, Jiang Yu woke up. She had just opened her eyes when she saw that Jiang Zhe had already unbuckled her seatbelt. Seeing her awake, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car, leading her upstairs.

Jiang Yu winced in pain and felt a bit annoyed. “Jiang Zhe, you’re hurting me.”

He loosened his grip slightly.

“If you have something to say, say it properly.”

The man’s voice was deep, and his expression was equally serious. “We’ll talk at home.”

Jiang Yu pouted. “Fine, we’ll talk at home. It’s just a divorce, right?”

Jiang Zhe paused, then continued to lead her home.

When they arrived, the housekeeper was holding the baby and soothing it. She smiled at them, saying, “You’re back.”

However, upon seeing Jiang Zhe’s expression, her smile vanished. He looked angry. Had the two of them quarreled?

Jiang Yu hadn’t even seen the baby yet. She wanted to go over, but as soon as she moved in that direction, Jiang Zhe pulled her away.

He led her to his room, finally releasing her hand.

Now it was time to negotiate. Jiang Yu closed her eyes, steeling herself, and said, “Jiang Zhe, I have no objections to the divorce. The child will stay with you, so as for the property, you can decide.”

The air was silent for a second. Just as Jiang Yu opened her eyes, Jiang Zhe hugged her, his overpowering presence enveloping her. Before she could react, his lips pressed against hers, urgent and demanding.

Jiang Yu: ?

Was he so angry he’d lost his mind?

She tried to speak, but Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, dominating her mouth.

What was this? Was he jealous?

Jiang Yu’s mind went blank. As she struggled to understand what was happening, Jiang Zhe pushed her onto the bed. He kneeled between her knees, his large frame covering her, breathing heavily and erratically.

His eyelashes trembled, and his body shook slightly as he held her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear.

In his heart, he said: Jiang Yu, long time no see.

Jiang Yu, caught up in the moment, passively accepted his intense kiss, her mind beginning to drift. It had only been three months since she had the baby; was it okay? Did he have contraceptives in his room?

Lost in thought, Jiang Yu forgot to breathe and suddenly choked, her face turning red as she looked at him, her eyes moist and innocent.

Jiang Zhe let her go, helping her sit up and patting her back to soothe her. He seemed much calmer now.

“Are you okay?”

As soon as Jiang Zhe softened his tone, Jiang Yu started to get feisty.

“Of course not. I’ve already explained that there’s nothing between us. As for what happened, I can’t explain it clearly, but we have nothing to do with each other. If you’re still unhappy, we can get a divorce.”

Jiang Zhe lowered his head and said, “I know.”

He looked at her, a hint of panic in his eyes. “No divorce, Jiang Yu. Don’t mention divorce.”

Jiang Yu became even fiercer. “If you know, why were you so rough?”

She rubbed her slightly sore wrist and complained, “You were so rough.”

Jiang Zhe quickly checked her wrist. He hadn’t controlled his strength earlier, and her wrist was red.

He got up from the bed. “I’ll get you some medicine.”

Jiang Yu grabbed his hand, stopping him. “It’s just a bit red. There’s no need for medicine.”

So he returned and began massaging her wrist.

It had been a long time since she had felt such a comfortable massage.

Jiang Yu sighed comfortably and glanced at Jiang Zhe’s expression, noting that he seemed much better. She asked in confusion, “So, were you not angry just now? Are you jealous?”

Jiang Zhe looked up, his long black lashes casting shadows as he shook his head. “No.”

How could he describe his current feelings? It was the joy of regaining something he thought lost.

He had thought he might have to wait a long, long time for her to return, but unexpectedly, she was back.
