Chapter 131
Yu Duo casually exchanged a few more perfunctory words with Fu Sinian’s uncle until they both heard the sound of a vehicle arriving from outside the villa.
A mont later, Fu Sinian strode in from outside. He looked the sa as he always did, without anything particularly unusual.
Yu Duo stood up from the sofa and looked at Fu Sinian slightly uneasily. She nervously clasped her hands together behind her back.
Fu Sinian walked into the living room and stood there on his long legs, looking back at her. He looked impeccable as always, his shirt, tie, vest, trousers and black leather shoes were all ticulously clean and spotlessly arranged, and he had taken of his suit jacket and casually hung it over one of his arms.
“You... you’re back? ” Yu Duo had originally wanted to speak confidently and in a righteous tone, but what ca out sounded a bit weak and guilty.
She didn’t know what she was feeling guilty about though.
“Your uncle ca, he said he wanted to talk to you about sothing.”
Fu Sinian’s cold eyes were fixed on her face, but they eventually slid down to her lower abdon and softened considerably.
On the side, uncle also stood up with the help of his cane and took a few trembling steps toward Fu Sinian with tearful eyes that were full of ‘love’, “Sinian, you’re back?”
It was only then that Fu Sinian turned his eyes and seed to notice his uncle there. His brows furrowed lightly, but he still went over to the sofa, set his suit coat down, and sat down opposite of his uncle.
“Uncle, what a surprise to see you here today. What can I do for you?”
His expression and tone seed the sa as they always were, and Yu Duo, who was sitting beside Fu Sinian, really couldn’t guess what he was thinking at all.
Uncle seed very gratified that Sinian had asked after him. Tears well in his eyes and he said, “I ca here today mainly to see you. You were missing for a few months already, you must have suffered a lot outside, right?” He looked at Fu Sinian carefully before sighing and continuing, “I see you’ve lost a lot of weight. You need to take good care of yourself for the next while.”
Uncle’s face was kind and full of affection, to the point that people who didn’t know anything would really believe that there was deep affection between him and his nephew.
However, Fu Sinian didn’t seem to buy it. He wore his usual expression, cold and icy like soone owed him a million dollars.
“I see. Did uncle have anything else you wanted to say?”
His tone was so cold that even Yu Duo felt a bit embarrassed for this uncle.
Although Fu Sinian had never been particularly affectionate to his uncle in the past, he had always at least treated him as a relative, and had even regularly given him money. However, the coldness in his eyes now was very obvious, and it was only thanks to his uncle’s thick skin that he could still act calm like nothing was wrong.
“Actually, about last ti Sinian, uncle always wanted to explain that matter to you. You should know your uncle’s character, I would never dare to covet your assets in my lifeti!” Uncle began to get worked up as he reached this point, “It was all because that woman, Qiao Jiao, deceived ! Only after the police explained everything to did I realized that this whole matter was done by Qiao Jiao. Back then, she ca to and said that you had left 30% of your assets to in your will and, of course I didn’t believe it at first, but then Qiao Jiao brought out a lawyer who showed a lot of evidence saying that it was true and that the will was real. Sinian, you have to believe , uncle was just deceived by Qiao Jiao! I never intended to sche against you!”
“En, I know about this matter. Since you were deceived and didn’t know anything, we can just let it go,” Fu Sinian stood up and looked down at his uncle coldly. “If you have nothing else, you should go ho. I’ll have soone see you out.”
His uncle imdiately panicked, “Sinian, this... Your uncle still has a lot to say to you...”
“Uncle, it’s already late so I won’t keep you any further. Anyway, I just got back so I’ve been a little busy recently and I may not have much ti to talk to you. If there isn’t anything big, it’s better for you not to co here,” Then he raised his voice. “Auntie Lian, co see the guest off.”
Auntie Lian quickly ca out of the kitchen and said to Fu Sinian’s uncle with a smile, “I’ll see you off then sir.”
Fu Sinian’s uncle’s hands tightened on his cane. He had known that Fu Sinian probably wouldn’t give him much face even before he had co here, but he hadn’t expected that his nephew would just say a few words and dismiss him like this. But, in the end, although he was unwilling, he couldn’t do anything about it. However, as he got up and was getting ready to leave, he heard Aunt Lian say to Yu Duo, “Madam, I’ve finished preparing the nourishing soup the doctor prescribed. Go and drink so. This soup should be good for the child.”
“Child?” Fu Sinian’s uncle suddenly turned around and asked, “What child?”
Aunt Lian, who realized she had made a mistake, just pasted a business smile on her face and stood awkwardly to one side without saying anything further.
“Yu Duo is pregnant?” Fu Sinian’s uncle looked at Yu Duo’s flat belly uncertainly. Then he suddenly frowned and tightened his grip on his cane before slamming it firmly on the floor before saying, as if with great heartache: “Duoduo, didn’t you say that Sinian is infertile? Then that child...”
He pointed a trembling hand at Yu Duo’s belly and continued. “Sinian, from my experience, Yu Duo doesn’t look like a woman who has been pregnant for very long. You need to seriously investigate how many months old this child is! It could be that Yu Duo beca pregnant during your disappearance!”
In the past, this accusation might have caused Yu Duo to fumble her words, but right now she already had an examination report from the hospital that definitively stated that she was three months pregnant, so she replied confidently, “Uncle, I’m three months pregnant!”
“Three months...”
The corners of Fu Sinian’s lips turned up a tiny bit and he nodded in affirmation, “That’s right. It’s three months.”
His uncle couldn’t help but ask, “Three months, really? Didn’t you say that Sinian was infertile and couldn’t father a child?”
Fu Sinian glanced over at Yu Duo.
Yu Duo avoided his eyes.
“I was cured.” Fu Sinian said flatly.
—————–
After seeing off his uncle, Yu Dou plucked up all of her courage and followed Fu Sinian upstairs to his study.
Fu Sinian’s face seed the sa as always, as if he was neither irritated by the arrival of his uncle, nor angry because Yu Duo had slandered him as infertile. However, in Yu Duo’s eyes, this abnormal calm was all the more terrifying.
“This... let apologize to you first. In the past your uncle ca to our door with soone called Ah Yu and said that she was pregnant with your child. In the heat of the mont, I lied and said that you were... infertile.” By the ti she got to the word ‘infertile’ Yu Duo’s voice had gotten so quiet that even she herself could barely hear it.
“When my uncle said that woman was pregnant with my child, did you believe it?”
“...huh? What?” Yu Duo was briefly stunned, but after a pause she replied, “No... I didn’t believe it. “
“I’m glad that you have so much trust in .” Fu Sinian walked over and hung up his suit jacket, took off his cufflinks, then fell silent for a mont. Eventually, he turned around and gave Yu Duo a deep look before walking towards her step by step.
“If I said that I don’t care who the baby in your belly belongs to, and I don’t care if your heart is with or not, and that, from now on, you don’t have to pretend to be soone you’re not in front of , and that I’m willing to get to know you, to respect you, to trust you, and let you do whatever you want. Would you still want to divorce ?”
As he spoke, Fu Sinian held up his phone in front of Yu Duo’s eyes.
On the screen was the text that Yu Duo had sent him. The ssage asking for a divorce.
