However, Ning Shu found that Chu Xiaoran seemed to look very confident. She curled her lips in disdain. Could it be that he thought he’d still be able to climb his way up? Even if he wanted to, she wouldn’t give him the chance.
She glanced at the two that were emotionally reuniting, then drove off.
In front of the prison doors, Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman were still hugging each other. As Xia Xiaoman hugged Chu Xiaoran’s waist, her heart immediately settled down. She felt like she had someone to rely on now and so she no longer felt scared of anything. There was someone to shield her from everything.
On the way back to the villa, Xia Xiaoman told Chu Xiaoran about everything that happened this year. Chu Xiaoran was a bit moved. He never imagined that Xia Xiaoman would give up leaving with her family to stay here to wait for him.
Chu Xiaoran hugged Xia Xiaoman and said, “Let’s get married.”
Xia Xiaoman was surprised, but also delighted. Tears overflowed as she nodded with a smile. Although there were no fresh flowers or a ring, but she didn’t care about those things. As long as she could share happiness with the person she loved and her child, then they’d definitely be a happy family.
When they got back to the villa, Chu Xiaoran picked up his son. His heart was filled with hope. With his abilities, he’d soon be able to return to the summit, then give Xia Xiaoman and this child a blessed life.
If Chu Xiaoran wanted to make a comeback, then he’d need capital. However, all his properties had been taken by the government.
Chu Xiaoran decided to sell this villa. Back then when he brought this villa, it had costed over ten million. At that time, ten million had been just a mere trifle to him, but now this was the only capital he had left to make a comeback with.
After selling the villa, Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman moved into an ordinary house in a neighborhood and started living the life of renters. They also dismissed the nurse, so the job of taking care of the child fell to Xia Xiaoman.
Chu Xiaoran took the money from selling the house and left to find a business opportunity, but after an entire day, he wasn’t able to reap any fruits.
When Chu Xiaoran got home, he didn’t even have a bite of hot food to eat. Xia Xiaoman found it very hard to take care of the child without the help of a nurse. When Chu Xiaoran got back, she had Chu Xiaoran look after a child, then went to go cook.
Xia Xiaoman was the type to never had to touch water for any chore in the past, so the taste of the food she made was easily imaginable. Chu Xiaoran only took two bites before stopping. As he ate this thing that tasted like flour paste in this cramped room, his heart suddenly filled with anger. The child was always crying at night while he was trying to sleep. He was about to go crazy with vexation.
“What are you crying for!? A funeral!?” Chu Xiaoran got out of bed and headed to the balcony to smoke.
The child was frightened by Chu Xiaoran’s voice and started crying even harder. When Xia Xiaoman saw that Chu Xiaoran was angry, her heart dropped and she hastily picked up the child to coax him.
Even if Chu Xiaoran was in dire straits now, Xia Xiaoman had gotten used to his might and influence, so even now, she still conceded to him unconditionally.
Chu Xiaoran was very worried and anxious. He was impatient to prove himself, to make a comeback. The things that had been extremely easy for him before, to the point that it only took a sentence, was now unbelievably hard.
Sometimes before he even had the chance to speak, he’d be driven out. The embarrassment and indignance made him want to kill. The more that things were like this, the more he wanted to return to the past and make these people who were looking down on him pay.
