"Sister Xueru, why Didn't you promise to marry my brother What about Xiao Nian" Tang Mandong asked anxiously; she couldn't bear to part with this adorable child.

Xiao Nian looked at Chen Xieru innocently. "Mommy, are you sad"

The innocent words of the child left everyone silent. Even a kid could see what was happening; how could they have missed it

Chen Xieru smiled and shook her head as she held Xiao Nian in her arms and made him sit on the sofa. "Xiao Nian, Mommy is leaving now. Do you want to stay with Grandpa and Grandma or go away with mommy"

"Enough!" Tang Shuweng suddenly shouted; his heart was squeezed tightly by these words as if he were being cut by a knife. The pain turned into anger. "Nobody can leave."

Perhaps his tone was too harsh, for Xiao Nian was frightened and looked at him with sad big eyes. Again, Tang Shuweng's heart tightened; Wen Lan angrily said, "Shut up!"

Tang Shuweng sat down in anger, while Chen Xieru smiled faintly but felt grateful that Wen Lan had defended her.

Xiao Nian asked, "Mommy, can't we stay with Grandpa all the time"

Chen Xieru shook her head. "No."

"Why Aren't we a family Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy and Xiao Nian, aren’t we a family Shouldn’t families live together" Xiao Nian didn’t understand.

Chen Xieru’s eyes reddened as she bit her lip hard, at a loss for how to answer Xiao Nian's question.

Xiao Nian stood up from the sofa and put his small hand on Chen Xieru’s lips. "Mommy, don’t bite your lip; it will bleed again. Don't cry, Mommy. I'll be good and won’t ask any more questions. I want to stay with Mommy."

Chen Xier hugged the child tightly, saying, "Baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Mom has disappointed you."

Xiao Nian shook her head; Wen Lan's gaze was somewhat moved as she sighed gently. What an adorable child and what a good daughter-in-law. Why couldn't her son keep her Frustrated with her son's inability to achieve something, Wen Lan glared at Tang Shuwen.

Chen Xier said, "I'm sorry for disappointing all of you. If in the future you miss Xiao Nian, I will bring him here to see you."

Wen Lan couldn't bear parting with such an adorable child, but there was nothing she could do; Chen Xier was determined to leave and no one could persuade her otherwise.

Tang Shuwen suddenly grabbed Chen Xier's hand, pulling her upstairs forcefully. His expression was fierce, and Wen Lan stood up, saying, "Shuwen, what are you doing Let go of Xier."

Tang Shuwen ignored her, dragging Chen Xier upstairs.

Wen Lan wanted to follow but Tang Si stopped her, saying, "Let them talk it out properly."

Xiao Nian sat on the sofa, staring blankly at Tang Shuwen pulling Chen Xier up the stairs roughly. She murmured "Mom" repeatedly. Tang Si took the child into his arms and said, "Baby, everything's fine. Dad and Mom are discussing something, it'll be okay."

Xiao Nian nodded.

Tang Shuwen pulled Chen Xier into his room; she backed away warily. This wasn't her first time in his room, but for her, everything was unfamiliar.

Even Tang Shuwen himself felt foreign to her.

Tang Shuwen closed in step by step, and Chen Xier retreated step by step until she could retreat no more. Tang Shuwen's eyes narrowed dangerously as he asked, "Why did you change your mind"

"I think we are not suited to live together," Chen Xueru said coldly. "Tang Shuwen, I know that the person you want to marry isn't me. Why do you force yourself Even if it's a marriage agreed upon, you don't want it, and neither do I."

Tang Shuwen grabbed her wrist with more strength. Chen Xueru gave a cold laugh, "Tang Shuwen, are you only capable of using violence against women"

He thought back to the despondent look on her face last night and frowned before letting go of Chen Xueru. He wouldn’t apologize for what happened last night; Chen Xueru turned away from him, "Tang Shuwen, why should I make concessions in front of you Why do I have to endure your inexplicable anger And why should I forgive your repeated rudeness and harm towards me, even harming my child. I haven’t wronged anything against you. A few years ago, it was you who raped me, which led to Xiao Nian’s birth; this child is everything to me. If you don’t want her, then I will keep her. We didn’t deliberately appear in your life; I can take him and disappear immediately. Me and Xiao Nian will live in America and won’t show up under your nose, feel free to rest assured. You want to marry Miss Zhao Then be happy about it. If you don’t like seeing Xiao Nian, then I won’t bring him into your lives. These days have been unbearable for me."

"It’s not my fault, is this all my doing" Tang Shuwen asked sharply. "A few years ago, you and Gu Rui from United Alliance conspired against me, making him take the USB drive's data that killed a lot of my brothers and caused significant losses to Longmen. Is this what you call not wronging anything against me I originally planned on marrying Zhao Yuning; your appearance with a child ruined everything for her, causing her to attempt suicide and almost die tragically. Do you think it’s all okay"

Chen Xueru gave a cold laugh, "A few years ago, why did you touch me Aren't you very strong What does the USB drive have anything to do with me I was in your room because Gu Rui forced me to be given to a gang leader as his woman to save Han Bi, and he even drugged me. I didn’t know who raped me. The loss of my belongings is due to my own incompetence; why blame me for being a woman What does Zhao Yuning's suicide attempt have anything to do with me Every day in this world, there are countless people breaking up, do they all go on to commit suicide too She doesn’t value her life and you blame it on me—on what grounds Do you think someone who truly wants to die can be saved"

Tang Shuwen raised his hand as if to hit her down; Chen Xueru looked up at him with a mocking expression, "Apart from violence, do you know anything else"

He never knew that Chen Xueru could become so articulate and adept at countering him perfectly. She was even brave enough to stand up against him. He thought she would always be submissive.

So it turned out that last night he really had angered her, which is why she became fully armed.

Was his misunderstanding of her a few years ago truly misplaced

Did she really know nothing at all

Before meeting Chen Xueru, he only ate with Yuning and went to negotiations. The USB drive was missing when he woke up after taking Chen Xueru; as for when it disappeared, he had no awareness of it.

He always believed that Gu Rui instructed Chen Xueru to use a beauty plot against him.

Did he make a mistake

Chen Xueru was also a victim back then; Gu Rui betrayed her and sent her away, which led to their accidental encounter.

Tang Shuwen頹然地放下手來無力地垂下手，關於陳雪如……

She walked past him, and Tang Shuwen quickly grabbed her arm. Chen Xueru stood coldly, saying, "We're getting married, as planned, no leaving."

"I don't want to."

"Even for Xiao Nian’s sake"

"You've always disliked Xiao Nian and never acknowledged him as your son. Why should I care about his feelings Besides, Xiao Nian said he wants to be with me. Your parents promised they wouldn’t separate us. If I don't want to marry you, I can take my child away, and they won’t stop me." Tang Shuwen’s parents were very understanding.

Although Xiao Nian was the first grandson of the Tang family, given that their lineage had always been passed down through a single line, sons were precious. They didn't intend to separate her from her child, and Chen Xueru was grateful for this.

Tang Shuwen gripped Chen Xueru’s arm tightly, "My parents said they won’t stop you, but they’ll be heartbroken over Xiao Nian. I don’t want them to be disappointed. Tell me what conditions you have and how you can stay and marry me."

Chen Xueru sneered; Tang Shuwen was determined to keep this child.

The same thing happened when he forced her into marriage, demanding the baby.

"No matter what happens, I won’t marry you," Chen Xueru said firmly. Tang Shuwen flew into a rage and twisted her hand back, forcing Chen Xueru to straighten up against him.

"Chen Xueru, don't push me too far. If Gu Rui can do it, I can too. My parents' promises mean nothing if I don’t agree. Whether or not I like this child, he’s my firstborn son. There's no way I’m letting him go with you or disappointing my parents. If you insist on not marrying me, then Chen Xueru, we’ll see each other in court. As an artist under Anning Entertainment, it’s easy for me to smear your name when the time comes, leaving you without a stable income and unable to support your child. Once we’re in court, you'll definitely lose. Then you won’t be able to beg me to marry you." Tang Shuwen spoke coldly, devoid of any emotion, causing Chen Xueru's face to pale.mination, but he still took out the trash himself, which earned him another look of disdain from Nick.
