My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 401 Obsession

Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Obsession

Chu Nanli, though not seated near Ye Jiuxiao, was constantly aware of Chu Nanli’s every move.

When he saw Ye Yunting follow and leave, he raised an eyebrow and quickly found an excuse to follow as well.

But shortly after he left the palace, he bumped into a palace maid in a panic.

Relieved upon seeing him, the palace maid quickly said, "It’s good that the Prince is here. Miss Chu was walking in the Imperial Garden earlier and slipped accidentally, causing a disturbance to her pregnancy. Miss Chu specifically asked this servant to come find you!"

If it had been any other reason, Ye Jiuxiao might have pondered for a moment.

But when it pertained to Chu Nanli’s health, he asked without hesitation, "Where is she now?"

The palace maid heard the question and immediately pointed in a direction.

Ye Jiuxiao remembered that that way led to an empty palace.

It seemed that the palace maid had temporarily assisted the lady there.

"Take her and go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to bring an imperial physician," Ye Jiuxiao instructed Ling, who followed him, and walked without hesitation towards that direction, "Do not make too much noise."

The palace maid tried to say something else, but Ling grabbed her by the collar and dragged her in the direction of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When Ye Jiuxiao rushed to the palace, he found it completely empty.

His face changed instantly.

And at the same time, he realized he had been tricked.

"Damn it!"

Ye Jiuxiao didn’t delay and took the opposite route from the palace, heading straight over.

The only person who could arrange such a thing in the palace and be related to Chu Nanli was Chu Nanli himself—no one else.

Indeed, he hadn’t expected that his nephew would be smart for once this time.

Even knowing how to apply the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

By exploiting his concern for Chu Nanli, he must have counted on the fact that in such an emergency, he would definitely not think too carefully.

Just as Ye Yunting had anticipated, Ye Jiuxiao had indeed fallen for it.

Though he understood that they were in the palace and Ye Yunting could at most meet Chu Nanli and not harm her,

Ye Jiuxiao still quickened his pace, eager to find her as soon as possible.

On the other side, Chu Nanli was still confronting Ye Yunting.

As she had expected, Ye Yunting truly hadn’t realized how despicable he now appeared to others.

He grabbed Chu Nanli’s hand, attempting to get closer to her.

"What exactly do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

"The child in your belly is still mine. If you are unwilling to forgive me, then why have you kept the child?"

Ye Yunting felt that since Chu Nanli still kept the child, it meant she still pined for him.

Even if she didn’t say it, he knew it in his heart.

This only angered Chu Nanli even more, her whole body trembling with rage.

What did Ye Yunting take her for?

Did he really think that she was carrying this child to please him?

"Has the Prince forgotten? You’ve repeatedly said that the child in my belly is a bastard!"

Chu Nanli looked at Ye Yunting with a sneer, her face full of disdain for him.

"Now the Prince is eager to play the father to this ’bastard’—isn’t that degrading yourself?"

"Chu Nanli!"

Sure enough, Ye Yunting’s temper always lasted only a moment.

His face too turned ugly, "I’ve already admitted my fault, don’t be unreasonable!"

"Besides, I’ve now realized I just need your agreement, and I can go to the Emperor to grant us marriage, to welcome you into the Prince Residence gloriously, divorcing Lin Fuying, that woman—isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?"

"Who the Prince wishes to marry is his business—what does it have to do with me?"

Chu Nanli turned her head away, doing her utmost to put distance between herself and Ye Yunting.

If not for the child in her belly, she would have been at blows with him long ago.

"Do you really believe that after all I have suffered, merely your few words should require me to forgive you? If that’s the case, you’re too naive."

She felt that even if the original owner of her body were here, certainly she wouldn’t erase the pain with such light and frivolous words.

"What would you have me do then?"

By this time, Ye Yunting, too, had begun to show his emotions.

He didn’t understand why the Chu Nanli of the past would be happy for a long time just because of a single sentence from him.

Why had she changed so much now?

Could it be that his imperial uncle said something to her?

Jealousy and hatred grew wildly in his heart like crazed vines.

Ever since he was young, it had always been like this!

No matter how well he did, Ye Jiuxiao always shone brighter!

When the former emperor was still alive, Ye Jiuxiao always overshadowed his father.

If it hadn’t been for his young age at the time, perhaps the throne would indeed have been taken by someone else.

And after his father ascended the throne, due to his poor health, Ye Jiuxiao had his years of glory.

And just now in the hall...

Thinking of this, Ye Yunting’s eyes grew even redder with jealousy.

"Is it because of Ye Jiuxiao, right?"

Chu Nanli truly looked puzzled, "What?"

Why were their problems being dragged onto Ye Jiuxiao?

Moreover, she did not quite like the tone Ye Yunting had at the moment.

He looked like a husband who had discovered his wife’s betrayal.

But was that the kind of relationship between them?

"Ye Yunting, not everyone thinks as vilely as you do!"

If it weren’t for her hand being held by Ye Yunting, she would have slapped him already by now.

When Ye Jiuxiao’s name was uttered by him, she felt it a violation.

"Isn’t it the case? But do you think, someone like Ye Jiuxiao would accept the child in your belly?"

He was a man and naturally understood the mindset of a man.

No man could accept the woman he liked bearing another man’s child.

Even if they said nice things now, one day, they would surely change their heart.

"What right do you have to say such words?"

Chu Nanli was indeed curious about what Ye Yunting must be feeling to say such things.

Had he forgotten? The cruelty he displayed towards the original owner and the child was far from ordinary.

If she hadn’t traveled from 2090 to this time period, the original owner might have perished in that big fire long ago.

And by the time it happened, even if Ye Yunting had regrets, what use would they be?

"What has happened can never be changed, surely even you understand such a simple principle?"

In Chu Nanli’s eyes, besides the mockery, there was an even greater coldness.

You must understand, what Ye Yunting truly owed was the original owner’s very life.

"So what if that’s the case, the person you married first was unquestionably me!"

Ye Yunting was completely deaf to her words, lost in his own thoughts from beginning to end.

He always felt that Chu Nanli not forgiving him now was only because he hadn’t done enough yet.

"I will show you my sincerity in time."

Guessing that the situation on the other end couldn’t be stalled any longer, Ye Yunting had to leave first.

If the situation in the palace got too ugly, he was afraid it wouldn’t end well.
