My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 355 - 356: Coincidental Encounter

Chapter 355: Chapter 356: Coincidental Encounter

Ye Yunting inexplicably lashed out at the child in her womb, and although she could not retaliate now, the sight of Ye Yunting still filled her with extreme disgust.

She cast a cold glance at Ye Yunting, then turned her head to Ye Jiuxiao, "Let’s go."

There was no need to waste words with someone like Ye Yunting.

If Chu Nanli had been alone here, Ye Yunting would have dared to be rough with her.

But in front of Ye Jiuxiao, he naturally wouldn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

Yang Xuan had only just caught up with Ye Yunting’s stride and managed to see only Chu Nanli’s fading figure.

Regarding Chu Nanli’s identity, she had her suspicions already.

But she still deliberately feigned ignorance as she asked, "Cousin, who was that...?"

Ye Yunting cut her off with a cold face, "Let’s go, weren’t we supposed to pick a birthday gift for aunt?"

He didn’t know what he was thinking; he knew Chu Nanli and Ye Jiuxiao were there but still insisted on seeking discomfort.

Although Yang Xuan had guessed Chu Nanli’s identity, she didn’t take her to heart.

What was there to care about a former Princess Consort who had been driven out of the War King Residence?

Her real opponent should be Lin Fuying.

"So frustrating."

After distancing herself from Ye Yunting, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.

"It’s not easy to get out, and yet I still have to run into such people."

After the divorce, she couldn’t wait to stay as far away from Ye Yunting as possible.

Seeing her adorable muttering, Ye Jiuxiao’s eyes again filled unconsciously with amusement.

Imitating her, he whispered, "If you really dislike it that much, then just have Zhuang Lin chase him away."

After all, Zhenbao Pavilion is so large, it wouldn’t miss his trivial amount of silver.

It seems his men had not been ruthless enough.

If he had known it would come to this, he should have cut off all of Ye Yunting’s sources of silver; then he wouldn’t be out here making a fool of himself.

"There’s no need for that. Zhenbao Pavilion has its doors open to do business; if we were to harm the reputation over such people, it would be more loss than gain," she replied.

Although she disliked Ye Yunting, she didn’t need to quarrel with silver.

If Zhuang Lin could earn more silver, he would surely be more generous when buying medicine from her in the future.

Besides auctions, Zhenbao Pavilion had many good items plainly marked for sale.

The herb materials that Zhuang Lin mentioned were right there in the main hall.

"What a pity, amongst these herb materials, there’s none that you could use," he said.

Chu Nanli already had plenty of herbs to maintain her pregnancy at the moment.

Most of those herbs were covertly collected by Ye Jiuxiao.

This man, only thinking of her, ended up neglecting himself.

"Naturally, your health is more important," he said.

After all, Chu Nanli still had one in her belly.

If something were to happen, it would be the loss of two lives.

"I’ll take this item," he declared.

The annoying voice emerged once more, lingering like a haunting specter.

Ye Yunting, as if deliberately opposing them, reached out and took the brocade box that was in front of Chu Nanli.

"Uncle Emperor, surely you haven’t fallen into such poverty, have you?" he taunted as he looked towards Ye Jiuxiao, his respectful address laden with impolite undertones.

"Otherwise, why would you stand here so long without buying a thing?"

To Chu Nanli, his actions were clearly meant to provoke.

Unable to contain her sarcasm, she said, "We’re not buying, and naturally, there’s a reason for that."

"I’m not sure if the War King realizes, but the primary effect of the herb you’re holding is to strengthen virility."

Ye Yunting’s face instantly darkened.

Part of it was because of the medicinal herbs, but more so, it was because of Chu Nanli’s earlier words, the undisguised "we" in her speech.

To openly flirt with another man right in front of him.

Truly shameless!

It was at this moment Yang Xuan finally sensed something amiss in the atmosphere.

She couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve and whispered, "Cousin, I think there’s something quite attractive over there, why don’t we go and have a look?"

Yet, Ye Yunting directly shook off her hand, his gaze remaining coldly fixed on Chu Nanli.

"Indeed, a woman without a sense of shame, to speak such words so casually."

He really hadn’t changed at all.

If his lips couldn’t touch upon a sore point, he would resort to speaking words that belittled others.

"How could I possibly compare to you, War King?"

Having heard such remarks often, Chu Nanli’s heart was long without the slightest ripple.

She even felt an urge to laugh.

"If I remember correctly, didn’t your childhood sweetheart just find out she’s pregnant?"

"The War King doesn’t stay in the Prince Residence to accompany her, yet you have the mood to accompany someone else outside?"

Putting aside her grudge with Lin Fuying, she just found it pitiful that Lin Fuying fell for such a man.

What sincerity could there be in Ye Yunting’s eyes?

He never regarded the women around him as equals.

Rather, they were all treated as vassals by him.

"This king knew it, you are indeed still concerned with Yingying’s existence."

A strange light flashed in Ye Yunting’s eyes.

He had said it, how could Chu Nanli, who had once loved him so desperately, let go so easily?

It was nothing more than a tactic of feigning retreat to snare her prey.

Now that Yingying was with child, hadn’t she just shown her true colors?

"However, a woman as fickle as water and lacking restraint like you will never compare to Yingying!"

"This king has said it, since you have already been driven out of the War King Residence, don’t delude yourself into thinking this king would let you return!"

Ye Yunting thought that by saying this, Chu Nanli would, like before, throw away her dignity and come to please him.

Unfortunately, the original host who had humbly loved Ye Yunting was already long gone.

Impatience filled Chu Nanli’s eyes, and if not for the child in her belly, she really wished to strike Ye Yunting right there and then.

Of course, she did not lack protection at her side.

Ye Jiuxiao sneered coldly, "This king is actually unaware of when your eyes started failing you."

Such an obviously insincere woman could only fool Ye Yunting, who was naively manipulated by others.

To his knowledge, the Emperor truly had the intent of letting Ye Yunting inherit the imperial authority.

To let such a person inherit the throne was to risk the entire Imperial Court perishing at his hands.

"If there is indeed a problem with your eyes, then go seek the Imperial Physician to treat it, rather than making a public spectacle of yourself here!"

Ye Jiuxiao’s rebuke was utterly merciless.

"Uncle, are you determined to take her side?"

The expression on Ye Yunting’s face turned dark and indistinct. His reason told him that openly quarreling with Ye Jiuxiao in public was harmful and not beneficial to his reputation.

But his heart just couldn’t get over it.

"Uncle mustn’t forget, this woman was already bearing another man’s bastard even before we were divorced."

"Uncle interacting with such a woman, are you not afraid of tarnishing the Imperial family’s reputation?"

Ye Yunting thought he was being righteous and unequivocal, yet unbeknownst to him, his conduct appeared clownish in Chu Nanli’s eyes.
