My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 392: Waiting in Vain

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Waiting in Vain

Seeing that Ye Yunting didn’t speak, Lin Fuying still felt somewhat anxious within her heart.

But now that things had developed to this extent, even if she couldn’t grasp Ye Yunting’s thoughts like before, she had no choice but to steel herself and continue spinning her web of lies.

"Yunting brother, it’s okay if you want to blame me, but I only lied because I love you too much and am terrified of losing you."

Lin Fuying, as of now, still thought it was the same as before.

Just as long as she shed a few tears, Ye Yunting would forgive her.

Little did she know, with Ye Yunting’s personality, once he grew disgusted, it was an irredeemable situation.

"So were all these lies also taught to you by him?"

Ye Yunting looked at her coldly, utterly unmoved by her tears.

"I truly misjudged you; I never thought you would be such a person!"

The disgust on his face was exactly the same as it had been when he dealt with Chu Nanli.

Seeing Lin Fuying’s demeanor, he couldn’t help but step forward, directly grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"When you told me that Chu Nanli was bullying you behind my back in the Prince Residence, were you also deceiving me?"

Only now did Lin Fuying realize what Chu Nanli must have felt before.

Unfortunately, she did not feel any remorse towards Chu Nanli.

Ye Yunting’s question also left Lin Fuying at a loss for an answer.

After all, what he described was indeed something she had once done.

In her efforts to frame Chu Nanli, she had duped Ye Yunting countless times.

She knew that if she admitted to these things, Ye Yunting would likely despise her even more.

"Yunting brother, my, my stomach really hurts!"

Lin Fuying’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but clutch Ye Yunting’s sleeve, trying to use the "child" in her belly to bring back Yunting’s rationality.

Her words did manage to make Ye Yunting relax his grip slightly.

Looking down at Lin Fuying’s abdomen, he continued, "Before you give birth to this child, naturally, I won’t lay a hand on you."

Ye Yunting exerted force with his hand, flinging Lin Fuying onto the bed.

He ignored Lin Fuying’s cries of pain and turned to leave the room.

"From now on, everything in this courtyard will follow the standards of a Concubine."

As for how Lin Fuying would fare, he didn’t care at all.

Ye Yunting’s words immediately made Lin Fuying’s complexion turn even paler.

Because of her poor health, Ye Yunting had always shown her favor since she entered the residence, and her treatment in the Prince Residence even surpassed that of a Concubine for a time.

Although Lin Fuying cared the least about these material things,

Now that Ye Yunting had given such an order, it was tantamount to a slap in her face!

If the news of her falling out of favor reached the ears of the servants, and from their mouths spread out, how could she hold her head high in the future?

Unfortunately, now that Ye Yunting didn’t even want to see her, she had no solution at all.

After leaving Lin Fuying’s place, Ye Yunting did not return to his study but instead left the Prince Residence directly.

Ye Yi did not dare to inquire about his master’s whereabouts and could only closely follow behind to prevent any accidents.

Ye Yunting’s destination was the small courtyard where Chu Nanli was currently staying.

As soon as he stopped, Ye Yi promptly stepped forward, signaling the doorman to go in to report.

"What is he doing here?"

Hearing news related to Ye Yunting, Chu Nanli’s first reaction was to frown.

She couldn’t help but touch her abdomen, recalling that nauseating face, her mood instantly plunged to rock bottom.

"Could it be that he’s come to make a scene and accuse me?"

Considering the time, Ye Yunting should have almost completed his investigation of the past events.

Could he still believe that she had intentionally lied to harm Lin Fuying?

If that was the case, she was even less inclined to see him again.

Anxiety was also evident on Yanyan’s face, "This servant heard from the doorman that the Prince’s expression didn’t look very good."

"Tell him that I’m not feeling well and can’t see him."

Even though she said that, Chu Nanli still made preparations, waiting for Ye Yunting to come in and make a scene.

But to everyone’s surprise, Ye Yunting didn’t forcefully barge in.

"Master, the Prince said he’ll wait outside until you are willing to see him."

The words brought back by Yanyan caught Chu Nanli off guard.

She frowned, looking towards the direction of the door, "What is he trying to do this time?"

According to Ye Yunting’s usual behavior, if she said she did not want to see him, he definitely wouldn’t let the matter rest.

He might even, just like before, barge in recklessly, causing complete chaos.

She didn’t understand how the original owner of this body could have liked such a man.

"The Prince didn’t say anything else, only that he wished to see you."

Yanyan shook her head, her heart still in turmoil from her face-to-face encounter with Ye Yunting just now.

Nevertheless, she also felt that today’s Ye Yunting was particularly strange.

"Then let him wait."

It was a good thing she had no intention of leaving the house today; otherwise, having such a vexing figure like a plague god standing at the door would be even more annoying.

Chu Nanli paid no mind to what was happening outside, focusing instead on finishing the task she had left undone earlier.

Only when she looked up again did she realize it had begun to pour rain outside.

"Yanyan, what time is it now?"

With such heavy rain outside, that fellow should have already gone back, right?

Yanyan hesitated for a moment before she took the initiative to report the situation outside.

"Master, the Prince is still standing outside."

"Has he gone mad?"

Seeing the weather outside, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but wonder.

Ye Yunting couldn’t be thinking of using some self-tormenting tactic on her, could he?

What had provoked him?

"If he wants to torture himself, let him continue!"

Chu Nanli glanced at the darkening sky and had no intention of making herself uncomfortable.

She found an excuse to send Yanyan away and turned to enter her private space.

Outside in the courtyard, Ye Yi was also trying to persuade Ye Yunting.

"Prince, the rain seems to be getting heavier; let’s return to the Prince Residence for now."

Ye Yi was now even more worried about Ye Yunting’s health.

After all, Ye Yunting had coughed up blood earlier in the study.

Later, he had had a dispute with Bai Wuheng, and although he wasn’t injured, his current state was still concerning.

"Does she still refuse to see me?"

Ye Yunting’s gaze remained fixed on the firmly closed door.

In his eyes, there was not only an obsession but also an unwavering determination.

"No, she won’t refuse to see me."

The Chu Nanli he remembered would always come when called.

Even if she was currently at odds with him, she certainly wouldn’t go too far.

He now regretted and longed for her presence.

And Bai Wuheng’s words earlier had made him realize that the one who couldn’t let go and move on was always himself.

"Prince, why not come another day? With such heavy rain falling now, surely, the Princess Consort would also find it inconvenient to come out."

Ye Yi, not daring to voice his suspicions, could only try to put a positive spin on things.

But he always felt that during this period, Chu Nanli had changed a lot.

Perhaps she would no longer be as submissive as before.
