Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Always Treat as Your Husband in Your Heart
“Heh, Xiao Jinghan, stop joking with . There’s already a child—how could it have nothing to do with you!” Ye Weiwei forced a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and slid her body sideways along the edge of the table to put more distance between herself and Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan chuckled, amused by her defensive maneuver. Rubbing the sides of his nose, his gaze took on a hint of wickedness as he smiled with a trace of nonchalance. “Ye Weiwei, are you mad at ?”
Ye Weiwei rolled her eyes. “No, why would I be mad over sothing that has nothing to do with ?”
“When you’re plotting against , you call Mr. Xiao. But when you’re angry, you say ‘Xiao Jinghan.’ Weiwei, is this really appropriate?” Xiao Jinghan stepped forward.
Ye Weiwei glared at him, lifting the spray bottle in her hand higher. “Xiao Jinghan, I’ve never plotted against you!”
“Oh? Should I present so evidence to prove it, hmm?” His tone carried a playful lilt, tinged with unmistakable flirtation.
Ye Weiwei’s cheeks suddenly flushed, her mind dragged by his voice into mories of the ti she’d gotten drunk.
“That wasn’t plotting—it was the truth coming out after drinking! I respected you—that’s why I called you Mr. Xiao!” Ye Weiwei explained in a fluster, silently repeating to herself not to let this cunning boss drag her into a pit.
Yet ever since she’d ntioned “plotting,” one of her feet was already on the edge of the trap Xiao Jinghan had carefully prepared.
“Oh, the truth after drinking…” Xiao Jinghan took out his phone and played a recording.
In the recording, Ye Weiwei’s sweet, syrupy voice calling “hubby” echoed in the makeup room.
An amused, cunning light glimred in Xiao Jinghan’s deep eyes. “In your heart, you always thought of as your husband, didn’t you?”
“No! I must’ve mistaken you for Ou Feimo! You—you were just a stand-in.” The excuse sounded so unconvincing that even Ye Weiwei herself felt it.
“A stand-in?” Xiao Jinghan’s lips curved faintly, but his gaze turned frostier. Deep in his penetrating eyes, a shadow of darkness lood.
Startled by the icy aura he exuded, Ye Weiwei instinctively swallowed hard. Her thoughts scrambled, and she quickly brought up Mo Shishi’s situation. “Your fiancée needs your care—she’s pregnant, after all!”
“Weiwei, listen carefully. Mo Shishi’s child has nothing to do with . I’ll prove it to you.” Xiao Jinghan’s anger receded as his voice suddenly turned serious.
Ye Weiwei chuckled lightly and waved dismissively. “Mr. Xiao, there’s no need to prove anything to . It’s not like I’m marrying you!”
“Ye Weiwei, why can’t you marry ?” Xiao Jinghan suddenly asked.
“Because I don’t like you.” Ye Weiwei shifted her gaze away, deliberately avoiding any eye contact with Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. “So, does that an if you like , you would marry ?”
Ye Weiwei bit her lip, glaring at him with suspicion. This man’s every word was a trap, and she couldn’t afford to fall into it.
“Even if I liked you, I couldn’t marry you. Your family is so complicated, and don’t forget you have a pregnant fiancée!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Weiwei regretted it. Why bring up Mo Shishi’s pregnancy? Why did that even bother her?!
“Alright, I see.” Xiao Jinghan’s thin lips curved ever so slightly upward in an indiscernible smirk. The fact that she obsessively ntioned Mo Shishi’s pregnancy, rather than Ou Feimo, ant that what truly concerned her was Mo Shishi—Ou Feimo was just an excuse.
“If you understand, just leave already.” Ye Weiwei waved her hand, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in her heart.
“Mm. I’ll leave.” Xiao Jinghan turned to go.
Ye Weiwei exhaled deeply, feeling as if she had just narrowly escaped disaster.
But just as that sense of relief washed over her, the next second, soone suddenly reappeared in front of her. With a single arm, he wrapped around her waist and gently pulled her closer to him…
