When he saw the man sitting on the black leather sofa with his legs crossed, not far from the bed, Ye Xi could not help but take a light breath, "Uncle."
Chu Lingtian looked at Ye Xi's gentle smile, his black eyes however deep and unfathomable.
He was dressed in black house clothes, but the cold aura he exuded didn't diminish in the slightest. The steadiness and conceit of a mature man with power in his hands was really terrifying.
He had a smile on his lips, but the feeling of distance between him and Ye Xi continued to increase.
Ye Xi's breathing became hurried, his head felt a little dizzy, but he was not unconscious to the extent of dizziness.
He sca
ed the surroundings.
Only then did she realize that she was in a spacious room with a cold tone.
Most of the furnishings in the room were black.
Even the long table in front of the sofa was black.
The curtains were black, and even the frames on the walls were black and white. From these, it could be seen that the owner of this room did not have a clear temperament.
He swallowed.
Ye Xi slowly fixed his gaze on the man in front of the bed, his moist eyes looking at him with unease and suspicion.
Chu Lingtian raised his eyebrow, he leaned forward slightly and picked up a glass of red wine, placed it on the table, and took a sip.
He lowered his head again and saw the red wine in the glass gently swaying between his two slender fingers.
After a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows, his gaze warm, yet somehow angry as he looked at Ye Xi: "Girl, why did you lie to uncle?"
"?" Ye Xi was startled, then tensed up: "Uncle, I don't know what you're talking about."
What... Deceiving him?
What had she lied to him about?
Chu Lingtian frowned slightly, then placed the red wine cup on the table.
He crossed his hands majestically and rested them on's knees, his black eyes staring deeply at Ye Xi, "The girl knows the CEO of Huo's, Huo Yaoting, is that true?"
Just hearing the three words "Huo Yaoting" made Ye Xi's heart ache.
Putting down his long eyelashes, Ye Xi looked gloomy: "Uncle, I know Huo Yaoting, and I don't know the CEO of Huo's, I didn't lie to you."
Chu Lingtian's eyes flashed with a deep meaning as he smiled and replied, "No matter if it's the CEO of Huo's or Huo Yaoting, it's best for the girl to stay away. Do you understand why Uncle said that?"
Ye Xi's eyes flashed with tears.
Raising her long eyelashes, she looked at Chu Lingtian. Her palm-sized face was pale and sad.
In Chu Lingtian's eyes, Ye Xi's currently grieving face gradually overlapped with the one in his memory that was filled with pain.
The hands on his knees clenched into fists. The pain that flashed through his black eyes was so fast that it was hard to catch.
Narrowing his eyes, Chu Lingtian looked at Ye Xi and said, "Girl, Uncle is doing this for your own good. Furthermore, from what I know, Chairman Huo has never told you his true identity. If a man really liked a woman, how could he not confess to her? There is only one reason why he did not confess. "
Chu Lingtian paused, stared at Ye Xi's clear eyes, and more and more tears gathered in his eyes, as he enunciated each word, "He basically did not plan this woman into his future life. In other words, you are nothing in his heart. And the reason why he is still willing to stay with you is because he has his eyes on a certain value in you. "
When Chu Lingtian said this, his sharp gaze directly shot towards Ye Xi's flat stomach.
Ye Xi's whole body became cool, her hands covering her stomach, and her tears flowed down like a river, covering her entire pale white face.
Her pale lips parted as she tried to say something, to contradict him.
However ?
She found she could find no words to contradict him.
Yeah.
He was the CEO of Huo's, not some heinous, merciless, and brutal mob. She might be shocked, but she definitely would not accept it.
After all, just as Gu Li had said, picking up a rich and powerful husband was a joyous occasion for everyone.
But why wouldn't he tell her?
Could it be that he was really as Chu Lingtian had said, that he had never thought of plotting her into his future life?
And the reason he was still with her was only because of the child in her womb?
Children...
Ye Xi fiercely bit her lips as sparkling and translucent tears stuck themselves into her red eyes. Her frail body couldn't help but tremble.
Her children, absolutely, absolutely must not become the inhumane tools and victims of the power struggle.
She wanted to protect her child!
She must protect her child!
However ?
However, why was she still unwilling to believe it?
He had treated her well for the sake of the child in her womb ?
A strong maternal love and a soft heart for her loved one had caused the current Ye Xi to suffer excruciating pain.
She wanted to believe him.
However, if he waited for his child to be born in the future ?
What would she do if he took the child away?
As a mother.
Could she really risk her own child to make a bet?
Ye Xi bit her lips tightly, and her tears fell drop by drop onto the back of her hand that was supporting her stomach.
Child, what should Mommy do?
Chu Lingtian leaned lightly on the sofa and looked at Ye Xi's tormented expression with cold eyes.
Then, he slowly got up and walked out of the room.
Ye Xi only glanced at him once before she twisted her legs and hugged him tightly.
Not long later.
Chu Lingtian held onto a document in his hand and walked towards Ye Xi and handed it over to him.
Ye Xi stared at the document in his hands with teary eyes, and did not immediately receive it. Instead, she raised her tear-stained little face and looked at him in confusion.
"Uncle originally did not want to give you the things inside, but now Uncle feels the need. After seeing this, the little girl might believe everything uncle says. "
Chu Lingtian looked down at Ye Xi from above and sighed, like a compassionate person.
Ye Xi's heart strings trembled, the ten fingers around his knees became stiff.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the object in front of her with fear. A chill ran down her spine.
A full minute passed.
Only then did Ye Xi close her eyes, not giving herself the chance to go back on her words, she suddenly grabbed the document bag in his hands.
When he opened his eyes, Ye Xi saw the sealed folder that was covered with red candle wax.
When the white fingertips touched the seal, they trembled violently.
Ye Zichen clenched his teeth.
Ye Xi almost used all of his strength to tear open the seal.
With a pale face, he dumped the contents of the folder onto the bed.
The contents inside fell out of the folder. Everything was filled with dark and gloomy photographs ?
Before Ye Xi could put down the document in his hands, when he saw the picture in the photo, his face immediately turned pale white. The blood drained from his face.
