My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 344 - 345: Testing

Chapter 344: Chapter 345: Testing

Chu Nanli simply nodded in response to the Empress Dowager’s words, but did not take them to heart.

She was well aware that the Empress Dowager’s current kindness was only because she had informed the Empress Dowager who the father of the child in her womb really was.

If the Empress Dowager hadn’t known about this, things would definitely not have been the same.

However, Chu Nanli did not refuse the gold, silver and jewellery the Empress Dowager rewarded her with.

She planned to exchange them for money and then use it to aid the destitute common people.

...

Ye Yunting had a cold expression on his face all the way back from the palace.

Struggling to suppress his rage, once he left the palace gates, he tore the divorce papers to shreds!

"Damn it! That woman, does she think she can manipulate me like this?"

He refused to believe that Chu Nanli truly had no feelings for him.

This must be another of that woman’s tactics to catch by appearing to run!

Ye Yi could only give a wry smile from the sidelines, not daring to chime in casually with Ye Yunting’s words.

He had long noticed that the Princess Consort’s heart was no longer with the Prince.

Yet the Prince himself still had not seen things clearly.

When they returned to the War King Residence, Ye Yunting’s aura was still terrifying.

Lin Fuying had been secretly hopeful ever since she heard he had gone to the palace.

That Chu Nanli had not died in the capital suburbs truly disappointed her.

But what could she do about it, she was, after all, looking forward to Chu Nanli rolling out of the Prince Residence.

Soon, she heard the commotion of Ye Yunting returning to the residence.

She ran over with joy in her heart while still putting on a worried expression.

"Yunting brother..."

But before she could finish speaking, Ye Yunting’s look already scared her into retreating.

It was the first time she had ever been treated this way by Ye Yunting.

Lin Fuying, somewhat unwilling to give up, followed Ye Yunting into the study.

"Yunting brother, why did sister not return with you? Could it be she still minds my presence and thus refuses to come back?"

She hadn’t seen the divorce letter, so she still felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, she and Ye Yunting had the same thought, believing that Chu Nanli’s adamant request for a divorce could just be another one of her tactics.

She certainly didn’t think that Chu Nanli would give up so easily!

"Don’t mention that woman to me again!"

Ye Yunting looked at Lin Fuying and couldn’t help but lose his temper at her.

"From today on, that woman has nothing to do with the War King Residence!"

So, that despicable Chu Nanli, she really divorced Yunting brother?

Joy rose in Lin Fuying’s heart, but Ye Yunting’s attitude still made her worry.

Why did she feel like Yunting brother still couldn’t let go of that woman?

With that thought, Lin Fuying couldn’t help but speak up, "Yunting brother, perhaps I should go and persuade sister..."

"I have already said, don’t bring up that woman—are you seeking death?"

Ye Yunting’s fierce eyes and cold demeanor scared Lin Fuying into silence.

But she quickly regained her composure, "Yunting brother, please don’t be like this, I’m scared."

Her tears came as soon as she said it, rolling out from her eyes immediately.

Lin Fuying’s tears were very effective.

After all, she had known since she was young that what Ye Yunting could least tolerate was the vulnerability of women.

And she also took advantage of her own frailty, obtaining quite a few benefits from Ye Yunting.

Indeed, upon seeing Lin Fuying’s tears, Ye Yunting’s emotions did calm down somewhat.

He softened his tone slightly, "Yingying, just now, I was simply too angry."

"It’s alright, Yunting brother, I was just too worried about you. The way you looked just now, it really frightened me."

Lin Fuying feigned strength as she spoke, she knew all too well how to tug at Ye Yunting’s heartstrings.

"What exactly happened? Yunting brother, can you tell Yingying about it, please?"

In Ye Yunting’s eyes, she was the gentlest and most considerate being.

Therefore, Ye Yunting naturally did not think that Lin Fuying’s words had any other implications.

With a darkened face, he recounted once again how resolute Chu Nanli was about the divorce, and that they were already divorced now.

At the end, he didn’t forget to add, "I’ve long lost interest in that woman. In the future, even if she begs me, I will not take her back!"

But was that really the truth as he said it?

Even though she had heard the news she wanted, Lin Fuying couldn’t feel any joy at all.

After all, Ye Yunting’s current attitude had set off alarm bells in her mind.

Over the years, relying on playing the weak, she had successfully carved out a place for herself by Ye Yunting’s side.

But she knew very well that Ye Yunting didn’t harbor much romantic affection towards her.

Now Ye Yunting’s attitude towards Chu Nanli was clearly different from his attitude towards others!

’"Yunting brother, in my opinion, sister must be doing it for the child in her womb."

Lin Fuying maintained her composure, while quietly steering the conversation towards the child in Chu Nanli’s womb.

After all, even though Chu Nanli was no longer the Princess Consort of the War King Residence now.

However, the child in her womb still posed a significant threat!

Lin Fuying knew better than anyone that once Ye Yunting learned the truth, he would definitely detest her completely!

"Sister probably feels that if she continues to stay in the Prince Residence, someone will surely harm her child."

Lin Fuying’s complexion turned pale as she spoke weakly again.

"Yunting brother, even though the father of sister’s child is unknown, it is still an innocent little life. Who could be so heartless?"

"Could sister be worrying too much? Inside the Prince Residence, there’s no one who would want to harm her, right?"

"Who knows what she’s thinking?"

Ye Yunting did not realize that his thoughts, following Lin Fuying’s guidance, were associating from Chu Nanli to the child.

It’s just a bastard child!

Whenever he thought of Chu Nanli having betrayed him, he felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.

It was all the more vexing that because of that bastard, Chu Nanli’s demeanor became so resolute, and this upset him further.

He, the War King, surely couldn’t be overshadowed by a bastard, could he?

"Still, if sister could safely give birth to that child, that would be good too. Because of me, sister has already lost one child, I truly don’t want her to be heartbroken again."

As Lin Fuying spoke, she couldn’t help but stealthily gauge Ye Yunting’s expression.

Sure enough, Ye Yunting snorted coldly, "I will not let her disgrace the Prince Residence’s reputation!"

Even though Chu Nanli was already divorced from him now.

That child must not be kept!

"Calm down, Yunting brother. If you harm your health out of anger, Yingying would be heartbroken."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Lin Fuying hurriedly changed the subject.

Now that Chu Nanli had been kicked out of the Prince Residence, wasn’t she, Lin Fuying, just a step away from becoming the Princess Consort?

Of course, Lin Fuying wouldn’t openly declare her ambition.

Testing the waters, she spoke, "By the way, Yunting brother, has the Empress Dowager said anything?"
