"Huo Yi, let’s be clear, I am already married." Once she finished, she didn’t look at him again and left straight away.
Watching Ye Ranran’s receding figure, Huo Yi clenched his fist.
Xu Zi rushed in from the outside. She wanted to run after Ye Ranran, but upon seeing Huo Yi, she gave up.
"Ah Yi, why are you here so early?" Xu Zi pretended not to know anything.
"It’s none of your business." Huo Yi coldly replied.
Xu Zi looked at him with a wronged expression: "Can you please stop being angry? I know I was wrong for hiding it from you, but it’s because I love you, isn’t it?"
"Love me? If you love me, you would hurt Ranran? If you love me, you would frame her? Xu Zi, I never knew that your love was so terrifying." Huo Yi looked at her with eyes filled with sorrow and anger from being deceived.
"Ye Ranran has everything, and I have nothing. Moreover, you were in love with her back then. What could I do?"
He and Ye Ranran were childhood friends, he was completely consumed by her, and she felt helpless.
She could only grab his attention this way.
"Xu Zi, I have underestimated you. I never knew you were so clever."
He was deceived by her.
"But you’re wrong, Ye Ranran doesn’t have everything. She’s just stronger than you, kinder than you, and sees things more clearly."
Love can’t be forced. She understood this better than anyone else, so she never clung to him.
It was him who was blind and lost her.
"Ah Yi, do you still love her? Can’t you let her go?" Xu Zi asked with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, but Xu Zi, you’ve ruined everything. You were the one who pushed her away from me." Huo Yi’s tone was cold, his sharp eyes were lethal.
"You blame me? Huo Yi, you blame me? Don’t forget, you were the one who didn’t believe her, and you were the one who gave up on her."
The sharpness in Huo Yi’s eyes immediately faded, replaced by sorrow.
Yes, he was the one who didn’t want her. He gave up on her.
"We’re getting divorced immediately, let’s go, to the civil affairs bureau right now." Huo Yi grabbed Xu Zi like he was catching a chicken.
"You’re hurting me, Huo Yi." Xu Zi tried to pry his hand off her.
He grabbed her collar, which pressed against her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Huo Yi, I’m pregnant, with your child." Xu Zi suddenly said.
"What did you say?" Huo Yi seemed to have heard something unimaginable, and his expression turned to shock.
The force in his hand involuntarily relaxed.
"I said, I’m pregnant. I found out just today." Xu Zi said it in a very proud tone.
Yes, she had made many mistakes, she had forced her way into his heart, but so what?
As long as she is pregnant, as long as she gives birth to a boy, he will be the eldest son of the Huo Family.
He would become the apple of the family’s eye, and she would become important by association.
"Regardless of what I have done in the past, I have always loved you. Everything I have done, is because of you."
"Now that we are having a child, let’s put the past behind us and move on." Xu Zi held Huo Yi’s hand in a pleading tone.
"There are many marriages of convenience among wealthy families. We have feelings for each other, isn’t that much better than a marriage of convenience?"
In large families like theirs, marriages of convenience were too common.
Some were blatantly transactional, specifying who you marry, and how much dowry was involved.
Hearing her words, Huo Yi looked at her with an unfamiliar look: "Who do you think the Huo Family needs to marry into?"
