Chu Chenyi sighed helplessly, why did she have to wake up at this particular moment? It would have been fine if she had slept a little longer.
"Put me down, are you deaf!"
Lin Yuwei shouted furiously, her gaze towards Chu Chenyi flashing with disgust. That damned scoundrel, he had come while she was asleep and intended to sneak her away.
Fortunately, she hadn't been sleeping too deeply, otherwise, she would have truly fallen into Chu Chenyi's trap. If Chu Chenyi had managed to sneak her away, it would have been impossible to escape then.
It was a good thing she woke up in time, or she would have been in a terrible situation. Seeing that Chu Chenyi hadn't moved at all, Lin Yuwei's anger intensified. She glared fiercely at Chu Chenyi, then directly slapped him hard, "Let go of me."
Lin Yuwei's violent struggles startled Chu Chenyi, and he quickly and carefully placed her on the bed, afraid of dropping her.
"Why are you here? Just leave, I don't want to see you right now."
Lin Yuwei's expression remained sullen, she wasn't even willing to spare him a glance, as if looking at Chu Chenyi for even a moment was a great insult to her eyes.
"You are pregnant now, and you must be careful with everything. It's also not appropriate to continue living in someone else's house. Come back to the prince's manor with me. I have already removed all the guards in your courtyard and reinstated the servants who were transferred away, restoring everything to its original state..."
Chu Chenyi humbly and kindly persuaded her. What he was doing today was truly the most humble thing he had done in his many years of life.
However, these words only served to annoy Lin Yuwei, having no other effect.
She felt even more that Chu Chenyi's gentle attitude today was solely because she was pregnant.
Instantly, her heart felt unbalanced. Perhaps it was due to her pregnancy, her emotions became even more unstable. A wave of grievance washed over her, her nose stung slightly, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Don't cry... You're pregnant, crying like this is bad for the baby..."
Seeing the tears on Lin Yuwei's cheeks, Chu Chenyi felt as if his heart had been tightly squeezed. He felt an unbearable ache and quickly reached out to gently wipe away her tears.
Lin Yuwei angrily slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me. You only care about the child in my belly. Fine, after the child is born, we will divorce, and the child will stay with you."
"What nonsense are you talking? Did Feng Jin say something to you? You should see her less in the future. Whenever you have contact with Feng Jin, it's bound to cause some trouble!"
Just moments ago, things were fine. After seeing Feng Jin for such a short time, she was already spouting all sorts of nonsensical things. Chu Chenyi felt that he absolutely could not let Lin Yuwei have any further contact with Feng Jin.
It was likely that Lin Yuwei would become the second Feng Jin before long. He didn't want to live a life as stifled as Ling Mo Han's, being completely controlled by a woman, having to speak cautiously and watch his wife's expression. Such a life was simply too frustrating.
"I'm causing trouble? It's clearly you who is looking for trouble, and you secretly went to a brothel behind my back! Go on, go ahead! If you have the guts, bring all those women you know back to the manor. I'll clear out a space for you right away, I guarantee I won't be an eyesore!"
Lin Yuwei suddenly stood up and began to argue face-to-face with Chu Chenyi. She now wished she could grab a stick and drive Chu Chenyi out immediately, just to get him out of her sight.
As soon as she saw Chu Chenyi, she felt a surge of anger, reminding her of his secret trips to the brothel.
"I went to the brothel to discuss important matters, it was absolutely not what you think. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Ling Mo Han and Gu Beichen, they can both testify. Then you'll know if I'm telling the truth or not."
Chu Chenyi helplessly pressed his forehead and rubbed his temples. This matter was giving him a splitting headache. He could now understand Ling Mo Han's feelings.
He also understood why the sage had said, "Only women and petty people are difficult to deal with." Women were truly troublesome.
Just dealing with Lin Yuwei alone was proving difficult for him. He truly admired men with multiple wives and concubines, he couldn't imagine how they managed.
"Prove what? You're all birds of a feather, all rotten stones from the same pit, all equally stinky. If your words could be believed, pigs would be able to climb trees!"
They all went to the brothel together, so they must have conspired beforehand. Asking them would yield the same answer, so there was nothing to ask. She truly admired Sister Feng Jin, who dared to barge in and drag Ling Mo Han home. If it were her, she wouldn't even have the courage to walk in and would probably run home weeping.
Now, she had to seize this opportunity to properly discipline Chu Chenyi, so that he wouldn't dare to bully her openly in the future.
"You should go back first. Given your past actions, I am extremely disappointed in you. I have thought about it carefully, our personalities are truly incompatible. Forcing ourselves to be together would only be mutual torture. It would be better to break off cleanly, you go your sunny path, and I'll live mine..."
"Ah! Chu Chenyi, you bastard... What are you doing? Put me down... Put me down!"
Before she could finish her words, her entire body was lifted into the air. She was so startled that she quickly wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, afraid that Chu Chenyi would accidentally drop her.
"Put me down, you scoundrel, I'd rather die than go back with you... Put me down!"
Lin Yuwei struggled with all her might, her feet kicking wildly and restlessly, her voice constantly shouting. The entire courtyard echoed with Lin Yuwei's cries.
The servants who passed by heard the noise and frequently glanced over. However, upon seeing who it was, they all lowered their heads in unison, pretending not to see anything, and quickened their pace as they walked forward.
...
"What's that noise? So loud. Did someone come to the manor?"
Ling Mo Han had just stepped into the courtyard when he heard the deafening noise. It sounded like a woman's voice.
"Your subordinate doesn't know. Your subordinate will go and find out."
Lu Shi was also confused. He had just returned and didn't know what was happening.
