The carriage finally quietened down, and the sound of the car running at high speed could be heard as it arrived in front of Li Xi's parents' house.
When Chu Tian took out Li Xi's trunk from the trunk of the carriage, Li Xi started to walk away, but she was caught up by Chu Tian's long legs, and was stopped in her tracks.
"You don't want me to come in? I've been driving for such a long time, and I'm tired. " Chu Tian knew that Li Xi still minded what he had said just now, but it was already too late when he realised it. He wanted to say something to add on, but it seemed that he would feel like he was going to say more. But since he was already in front of the Li family residence, he wanted to go in and greet Song Juan.
"I'm sorry. "I was careless. I'll go in and have a cup of tea first. I'll rest for a while." Li Xi also felt that she had done the wrong thing and immediately invited Chu Tian home.
Chu Tian took the luggage from Li Xi's hands and helped her bring it home.
Song Juan was bored when she was at home and wanted to invite others to the plaza. Hearing someone ringing the doorbell, she opened the door and realised it was Li Xi. It was fortunate that she did not go out. However, Li Xi thought it was strange that she was back now.
Usually, she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment news, and no one would tell her about it. Until today, only she was still in the dark, and she didn't know what had happened in the outside world.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Xi saw that Song Juan was stunned, she could only speak, if not the three of them would continue standing at the door.
At the start, Song Juan did not notice that Li Xi had followed Chu Tian back. It wasn't until they had entered the room and Chu Tian greeted her that he could see everything clearly. However, the situation made Song Juan even more confused. Didn't Chu Tian already go abroad? Now he had come over with Li Xi. Did something happen? Why didn't Li Xi go back to her parents' home with Lingyuxiao, but instead went back together with him? Song Juan hadn't even slept on the bed yet, how could she have started to dream?
"Auntie. It's been a long time since I've come to see you. Although Song Juan hated Chen Luoxue, she still liked him from the bottom of her heart. If Chen Luoxue had not intervened, she would not have opposed the marriage that almost became her family.
"When did you return? To think that you still remember me, and specially came over to take a look, how can I feel ashamed about that? " Song Juan guessed in her heart that there shouldn't be any possibility for the two of them to rekindle their old relationship. Maybe they met each other at the door just now, that's why they came in together.
"Just in two days. However, Auntie, don't say anything about being embarrassed. If it wasn't for my mom causing all those things and making me lose face to see you, I wouldn't have taken so long to come here. " Chu Tian was still very likeable. No matter what he said or did, in Song Juan's opinion, he was a good man, and might even be a good husband. But unfortunately, that was all in the past.
"Then what are your plans for returning home?" Song Juan was so busy greeting Chu Tian that she forgot to ask Li Xi why she was running home.
"I came back this time just to have a vacation and play around. We'll have to go back soon. " Chu Tian had never planned to stay in the country from the start. Although he was alone abroad, he would feel lonely. However, this place left behind many unforgettable pain. He didn't want to touch those sad memories, and even more so, didn't want to disturb Li Xi's life.
"Oh. "Is that so …" Song Juan was actually testing Chu Tian. She was most worried that Chu Tian and Li Xi might cause some kind of trouble. You have to know, Li Xi doesn't understand anything. Chu Tian still had to understand how awkward this is. This Li Xi was a person that wanted to be a mother, she could not be a disgrace to herself.
Hearing Chu Tian's answer, Li Xi also felt very surprised. She thought Chu Tian was planning to stay in this country for a long time, so she didn't want to go any further. Hearing his description of life abroad, she thought she wouldn't be satisfied, and would instead be very interested in living here. Unexpectedly, Chu Tian just came back because she was on vacation.
However, this was good as well. Now that she was married to Lingyuxiao, Lingyuxiao was also a little man who was good at being jealous. Li Xi could only judge him in this way. After all, he had always been quarreling with his over and over again. If Chu Tian stayed in the country, who knows? But if Lingyuxiao brought this matter up again, then he would not be able to live a peaceful life, and would most likely have children involved. That would not do.
Song Juan acted as if she had received an honored guest, bringing out all of the fruits in her house and specially brewing the most fragrant coffee for Chu Tian. She even intentionally left Chu Tian at home to eat dinner before returning. But seeing that Song Juan was busy, Chu Tian did not want to trouble himself. When Song Juan said that she wanted to go out to buy vegetables, she immediately opened her mouth to stop him.
"Auntie. You don't have to be so polite. Of course I'd like to stay and try my aunt's delicious dishes, but I really have something to do today. How about I come back another day to get more food? " Chu Tian knew that today's situation was not suitable for him to stay. After all, only Li Xi should be taken good care of. Even though he didn't have anything to do and had come back to relax, he still decided to leave the stage first in order to make room for Li Xi and Song Juan.
Hearing that Chu Tian wanted to leave, Li Xi also stood up. Today, it was all thanks to Chu Tian's appearance that he wasn't so tragic in the midst of his pain. All the words of thanks didn't seem to be enough to express his gratitude to Chu Tian.
Li Xi followed behind Song Juan and escorted him to the door. Unexpectedly, they coincidentally met Lingyuxiao who was walking up the stairs.
Before Lingyuxiao came to the Li Family household, he first made a trip to the detective agency. This time, when he went to find Li Xi, he was only waiting outside the door for the doorbell to sound, waiting for someone to open the door. Then, he could make use of his body's advantages to forcibly enter the detective agency.
Su Xiaomeng did not expect Lingyuxiao to find him again, so shsheheard someone pressing the doorbell and immediately went to open the door. When she saw that it was Lingyuxiao, he wanted to close the door, but the nimble Lingyuxiao took the chance and squeezed into the detective agency.
However, Su Xiaomeng was very pleased, he had come late, so Li Xi and Chu Tian had already left together. As for where they were going to, she would not tell him. She would make it so that he would never be able to find Li Xi.
However, Lingyuxiao was using the child in Li Xi's womb as an example, causing Su Xiaomeng to have no choice but to tell Lingyuxiao about the matter of Li Xi returning to her parents' home due to helplessness.
After knowing that Li Xi had returned home, Lingyuxiao immediately drove there. After he thought it through, the only thing he could do was to save Li Xi. They were already husband and wife, and had children. They were going to be parents, so they couldn't casually say that they were getting divorced. That would be unfair to their children and to both sides. On the other hand, he was already in love with Li Xi, how could he let go of this woman he cared about so easily and let her go to another man's side?
But just as Lingyuxiao turned off the engine, got off the car, and walked to the stairs, he heard voices from inside saying his goodbyes. He could tell one of the voices belonged to his mother-in-law, but whose was the other man's voice?
When Lingyuxiao saw the true face of the man, a nameless flame started to burn inside his body. He didn't know why, but when one of the directors saw another man standing beside Li Xi, he felt uncomfortable and angry.
"Why did you come so late? I thought you left my daughter alone. " When Song Juan saw Lingyuxiao, she felt even more relieved. It seemed that Li Xi was not quarreling with him after she returned and carried two suitcases with him.
"Mom, I'm late." In front of Song Juan, Lingyuxiao was still suppressing his anger.
However, Li Xi's following movements made it impossible for him to suppress the ball of fire. Even if she was here to send someone off, there was no need to take his arm.
Of course, Li Xi did this on purpose. Right now, she wasn't afraid of Lingyuxiao misunderstanding. She really wanted him to misunderstand. Don't you like to complain that you're too close to other men? He had already done such an outrageous thing. What was she doing now?
"Hurry up and take your hands off him!" What Lingyuxiao could not stand was Li Xi's expression, as if she did not see Lingyuxiao, and smiled at him as if there was no one else present.
Chu Tian knew that Li Xi was using him as a shield. If it was the past, he would be happy to continue acting for Li Xi. But he understood that there was a need for an independent space between Li Xi and himself to resolve the conflict between him and Lingyuxiao that could have been a misunderstanding. Therefore, he took Li Xi's hand away, and said: "Xiao Xi, Aunt, I'll be leaving first."
Turning around, Chu Tian smiled at Song Juan and Li Xi, then passed Lingyuxiao and left.
Li Xi knew that doing this would make Chu Tian feel embarrassed, but he acted as if she had gone crazy. At that time, she thought about how he could do the same thing as Lingyuxiao.
"Mom, I'm a bit tired. Let's go in first." Li Xi took Song Juan's arm again, urging her to enter the house.
This made Lingyuxiao even more furious. She clearly saw him, yet he still acted as if he didn't care. What did he want?
Who cares if Li Xi allowed him to enter, they followed behind the two people into the house.
Song Juan didn't know what was going on with these two people, and thought that Li Xi was angry that she came late, and was preparing to speak up for Lingyuxiao.
But before she could say anything, Lingyuxiao and Li Xi had already started arguing.
"You have never lacked men by your side. With one less Lan Yetian, another Chu Tian had come. What the hell do you think a husband like me is? " Lingyuxiao had already thought of how he could apologize to Li Xi and persuade her to follow him home. However, he didn't expect to see someone spitting fire at him. The organized speech was all suppressed, and those who spat it out turned into blame.
"Incomprehensible." Li Xi didn't want to speak further with Lingyuxiao, so there was nothing much to say. Even now, there was no need for him to run over to look for his.
"Who in the world is unreasonable?" "She's already married and pregnant with a child and is about to become a mother, yet she still has such a dishonest private life. How do you want me to continue living with you?" Lingyuxiao started to become excited, mainly because of Li Xi's cold and indifferent attitude.
Li Xi didn't want to talk to Lingyuxiao anymore, so she simply went to her own room and locked the door, not allowing Lingyuxiao to go in.
Lingyuxiao, who reacted a step too slowly, could not calm down even more as she was locked outside the door. Right now, Li Xi was becoming more and more willful, he actually had the chance to be shut in the door. She knocked heavily on the door, but Li Xi who was behind the door did not seem to hear him and completely ignored him.
Seeing the two of them arguing so loudly, Song Juan wanted to know what exactly happened, but she was even more worried about the child in Li Xi's womb. It seemed that her previous thoughts were still correct. Li Xi would normally not do anything out of line, and would always pay attention to her every move. She had also noticed Li Xi's action of placing her hand on Chu Tian's arm earlier, which further deepened her guess. At this moment, the two of them were arguing in front of her. It seemed that the matter was quite serious.
