Upon hearing Scarlett's surprising revelation, Wang Chao felt the taste of the red wine in his mouth disappear. He stared at Scarlett, took a deep breath, and said, "Your daughter couldn't possibly be..."
"That's right, she's yours!" Scarlett said.
Boom!
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Wang Chao dumbfounded. He dropped the wine glass in his hand, becoming even more bewildered.
Could it be?
They had only been intimate a few times, and now he had won the jackpot like this?
However, after a brief moment of shock, he regained his composure and spoke seriously, "Then we should get married..."
If the child was indeed his, it was his responsibility to support and provide a proper status for Scarlett.
"Ha!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Scarlett burst into laughter. "Okay, stop making that face. Actually, I was joking."
"We were careful during our encounters, considering the safe period."
"And my daughter is not your daughter."
She smiled at Wang Chao, her eyes gentle. "But your words just now were enough for me."
Wang Chao fell silent.
He had indeed thought that way earlier. If the child was his, if Scarlett's relationship with her husband deteriorated, he could wait for Scarlett to get a divorce and then marry her, creating a family together.
"Thank you. I heard the words I wanted to hear," Scarlett raised her wine glass, clinking it with Wang Chao's, feeling pleased.
For so many years, she had held a grudge against Wang Chao for leaving, thinking that he had just played with her and had no intention of settling down with her.
Now, hearing Wang Chao's words, she felt relieved.
Even though she was aware that she was married and had children, he still wanted to marry her. Just his love for her was enough!
"Are you sure you were just joking with me? That's not my daughter?" Wang Chao asked seriously.
As a more traditional man from the Dragon Kingdom, he placed great importance on his own offspring.
"I'm sure!"
Scarlett's expression was serious, and then she glared at Wang Chao. "I also want to have a child with you, but our time together was during the safe period."
"You're unable to do it!"
Damn it!
Wang Chao's face turned dark.
What did she mean by "unable"?
Was she looking down on his abilities?
He grabbed another glass wine, took a sip, and glared at Scarlett. "Am I unable? Do you want to try me?"
"Sure, come on. We haven't seen each other in so many years, and I'd love to have another go with you," Scarlett smiled, revealing her bare shoulders.
With her half-exposed fragrant shoulders and a smiling face that blossomed like flowers, she had consumed quite a lot of alcohol and was now slightly intoxicated. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were hazy with a hint of playfulness.
Her hourglass figure with a perky rear and 36D breasts made her even more beautiful and irresistibly captivating.
Wang Chao's forehead was filled with black lines. "Forget it, I won't indulge in your nonsense. You know, although I like beautiful women, I never like to destroy someone else's family."
"Moreover, I despise infidelity."
"Are you interested in me anymore, now that you are full of desire but lack the courage?" Scarlett glanced at him disdainfully.
"I am interested, and I desire you, but I have principles," Wang Chao replied.
"Men are full of lies. If you had principles, you wouldn't have been with me in the first place."
"Hey, let me correct one thing. It was you who concealed the truth initially, which led me to be with you. If I had known you had a boyfriend back then, how could I have..." Wang Chao began.
"Alright, alright, just kidding. Come, let's drink and eat," Scarlett interrupted him, raising her glass for a toast.
She treated Wang Chao as her husband and poured out her work-related frustrations to him.
As the drinks flowed, she even sat beside Wang Chao, close to him, and hugged his arm, insisting on drinking toasts with him.
This meal continued for another hour.
In the end, Scarlett got drunk, becoming extremely blurry and holding Wang Chao's face. Her eyes were red and misty. "Wang Chao, I miss you, I love you!"
"If possible, I really desire to divorce and spend my life with you, accompanying you forever."
"You are the man I love the most in my life!"
"My dear, can you spend the night with me tonight?"
After saying that, she kissed Wang Chao, then her head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep in his arms.
She slept soundly.
Wang Chao wiped his lips and shook his head. "Actually, you do not love me that much."
He lifted Scarlett and walked towards the bedroom.
Underneath her apron, Scarlett wore a particularly cool and sexy nightgown. She had already taken off the apron during dinner. Now, as Wang Chao carried her, from his perspective, he could see parts of her exposed body.
Wang Chao remained calm, not looking away. He entered the bedroom, placed Scarlett on the bed, took off her shoes, arranged her sleeping position, and then turned to fetch the blanket, covering her up.
He gazed at Scarlett's beautiful face.
As she slept, she no longer had the coldness of an assassin, nor the tenderness of a virtuous wife and mother. Instead, she resembled a pitiable and quiet little kitten.
"I wish you happiness in the future."
Wang Chao brushed aside the golden hair on her forehead and kissed it before turning around to leave.
At that moment, Scarlett suddenly grabbed his hand, her bright red lips moving as she murmured in her sleep, "Wang Chao, I miss you. Do not leave me, stay with me, please?"
Her grip was so strong that Wang Chao could not break free.
Helpless, Wang Chao could only sit by her side, looking at her with a complex expression, thinking to himself, "We're already married, and yet you still long for me. How can a life like this ever be happy?"
He sighed after speaking.
If only he had known, he would not have been with Scarlett in the first place!
The women of Baiying Country were truly bold in love and hate. Most importantly, they could love two different people at the same time.
Scarlett held onto Wang Chao's hand tightly, sleeping deeply and peacefully. Occasionally, she would reveal a sweet smile.
She took good care of herself. Despite having three children, there was no sign of aging or fatigue. Her skin was fair, smooth, and still appeared remarkably young.
The sight of her sleeping with a sweet smile on her face resembled that of an innocent and lovely young girl, as if she had just fallen in love for the first time.
Scarlett seemed to be having a pleasant dream, talking in her sleep. "Darling, I really like you. Look, aren't our children adorable?"
"Come, Katie, call Daddy."
"Katie, remember, your father's name is Wang Chao. He's the man your mommy admires and loves the most."
"Darling, let's go on a picnic."
"Darling, I'm pregnant again, and this time it's a boy."
"Darling..."
