My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 346 - 347: Falling into a Trap

Chapter 346: Chapter 347: Falling into a Trap

Was she, being plotted against in secret?

But this was within the War King Residence, how could someone stealthily administer poison!

Unless, the person making the move was the master of the War King Residence himself.

Chu Nanli, struggling to hold herself up, looked towards Ye Yunting, "Ye Yunting, what do you mean by this?"

She could feel that there must be something wrong with the incense in the study; it was mixed with a drug that sapped one’s strength.

Ye Yunting’s face was grim, "Chu Nanli, I’ve told you many times, but you remain willfully ignorant."

"Then, you can’t blame me!"

He was currently filled with loathing for the child in Chu Nanli’s womb.

After all, once that child was born, it would become his disgrace.

The words of Lin Fuying had convinced him further that it was because of this bastard child that Chu Nanli had become like this.

If he got rid of the bastard child, perhaps, Chu Nanli would return to being the docile person she used to be, under his control!

Noticing Ye Yunting’s gaze, Chu Nanli immediately sensed something bad.

She protected her abdomen, trying extremely hard to rise, but was still overcome by a sense of powerlessness.

"Rest assured, I will spare your life, but this bastard child must not remain!"

He had learned from his past mistakes, and he would not hesitate to take matters into his own hands, never allowing himself to face humiliation.

"Ye Yunting, have you lost your mind?"

Chu Nanli had no strength left to struggle; all she could do was watch as he picked up a bowl of familiar medicinal soup and walked towards her.

Her eyes were filled with a fierce struggle of emotions.

If she didn’t tell the truth now, her child would definitely be in danger.

But even if she did, would Ye Yunting believe her?

Chu Nanli only blamed herself for being too careless and coming to the War King Residence unprepared.

She should have been more vigilant.

After all, there were not a few within the War King Residence who wanted to harm her.

"I am just making the right decision."

A mocking look flashed in Ye Yunting’s eyes as he couldn’t help but continue.

"Women like you, so fickle in matters of love, proclaiming you can’t live without me, yet you’re carrying someone else’s bastard child?"

"Chu Nanli, do you really think I’m a pushover?"

There was a hint of red at the corners of Ye Yunting’s eyes, and a blatant disgust in them for her.

Seeing Ye Yunting like this made Chu Nanli hesitate even more about whether to tell the truth.

But clearly, Ye Yunting did not want to waste any more words with her.

With the medicine in hand, he already approached her.

"Ye Yunting, you will regret this!"

Chu Nanli could only feel her body growing weaker and weaker, utterly devoid of the strength to resist.

Once that medicine was down, no matter how many tricks she had, she wouldn’t be able to save the child.

In desperation, she had no choice but to speak up, "This child is yours!"

Her words caused Ye Yunting to stop his actions.

But quickly, his lips curled into a mocking smile again, "Do you think, I would believe that?"

He had never touched Chu Nanli, so how could the bastard child be his?

"Even if you want to save this bastard child, shouldn’t you come up with a more justifiable excuse?"

"Months ago, the day before you were injured at Xingshan Temple, I was already there, and this child, was also conceived on that very day. The one you ordered to be killed before, was also of your own bloodline!"

Ye Yunting intended to sneer in response, but Chu Nanli’s expression was so resolute that it gave him pause.

Could it be that she was telling the truth?

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Nanli hurriedly spoke, "If you don’t believe me, you can wait for this child to be born and then verify the lineage!"

Right now, the most important thing was to escape from here.

As for what will happen in the future...

After the child is born, Chu Nanli believed that by then, she would have the confidence to stand up to Ye Yunting.

Ye Yunting’s other hand went directly to her chin, gripping it tightly.

He sneered and said, "That’s quite a story you’ve concocted. You’re really devoted to that man!"

"Would you go to such lengths, making up such a story, just to protect this bastard child?"

In his memory, there was no such thing.

And the blurred figure from that night didn’t match up with her at all.

This was clearly a lie fabricated by Chu Nanli!

"I am not lying to you, the truth will be known once the child is born!"

Chu Nanli was powerless to resist now.

She could only gamble, betting that Ye Yunting held at least a shred of affection for the original owner of her body.

"Do you really think I’ll comply with your wishes?"

Ye Yunting’s expression became even more somber; looking at Chu Nanli, who was desperately defending herself, he could only see her arguments as sophistry.

"Even if the child in your womb is indeed mine, I would not allow such a filthy woman to give birth to my child!"

He ignored the sharp pain in his heart and continued his cold, harsh words.

Chu Nanli glared at him fiercely, "If you dare lay a hand on my child, I swear, I will be at odds with you for the rest of our lives!"

She was absolutely not lying.

If Ye Yunting really harmed her child today, she would make him pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

For a moment, Ye Yunting was indeed intimidated by the determination she radiated.

However, he quickly recovered, "I would like to see if you’ll even have the chance!"

Having said that, he had already picked up the bowl of medicinal soup and was pouring it towards Chu Nanli!

"Bang—"

The room’s door was violently kicked open, and Ye Jiuxiao’s expression was just as cold.

Upon seeing Ye Yunting, his face darkened several shades.

Ye Yunting was caught off guard and was yanked away, then sent flying through the air, crashing into a nearby antique shelf.

Fortunately, the shelf was sturdy enough to not be knocked apart by the impact.

"Who’s there?"

His expression changed instantly when he clearly saw Ye Jiuxiao’s face, turning from a bright fury to a concealed wariness.

"As for today’s events, you’d better think about how you’re going to explain them to the palace!"

Although Ye Jiuxiao wasn’t sure of Ye Yunting’s motives yet, just the fact that he intended to harm Chu Nanli was enough for him not to let it go easily.

In front of Ye Yunting, he directly swept Chu Nanli into a horizontal carry.

After securing her, Ye Jiuxiao realized she was limp and powerless, her gaze somewhat scattered.

"Did he drug you?"

Caring for Chu Nanli’s safety, he resisted the urge to kick Ye Yunting and promptly took her out of there.

Only after Ye Jiuxiao had left did Ye Yi dare to enter the study.

"Didn’t I say not to let anyone come in and disturb me?"

"You bunch of useless idiots!"

Ye Yunting, out of respect for seniority, didn’t dare to confront Jiuxiao head-on.

He had endured that blow just now.

"Get out, all of you get out!"

He was clearly aware that if Ye Jiuxiao wanted to break in, his War King Residence couldn’t really stop him.

So his anger towards his subordinates was just a powerless displacement of rage.

But what infuriated him more was that he had been so close, just a moment away from getting rid of that bastard child.

Seeing how concerned Ye Jiuxiao was about Chu Nanli, could it be that he was the adulterer?
