After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 212 Still Holding a Grievance

Although I had clearly sided with Jiang Yichen, the scene of his fierce struggle with another person, coupled with the watchful eyes of many colleagues, was truly extremely embarrassing.

I know that Jiang Yichen did not get angry at me this time, which is the result of his best efforts to restrain himself.

His point was quite valid: I should indeed maintain a proper distance from Zhao Ning to avoid our relationship becoming increasingly delicate and awkward in the future.

Now that this has happened, the company will surely be abuzz with discussion tomorrow, and all sorts of speculations and rumors will be flying around.

Thinking of this scene, I can't help but feel a headache coming on.

Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, Jiang Yichen mistakenly thought that I still had feelings for Zhao Ning. His face instantly darkened, and he coldly asked, "What, you still have feelings for him?"

His deep, slightly cold voice was like a cold wind, making my heart tremble.

I frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression. After a long while, I replied in a low but firm voice, "No, it's getting late. Let's go back first."

I really don't want to argue with him in public, which would only cause me more trouble.

However, along the way, I could still clearly feel the oppressive and somber aura emanating from Jiang Yichen, as if the entire space was shrouded in his low pressure.

As soon as we got home, he eagerly dragged me into the room, and his somewhat rough behavior startled me once again.

Full of doubt, I asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yichen pressed closer, and I retreated step by step until I finally collapsed onto the bed, looking up at him. His gaze was icy, and he asked in a cold tone, "Have you been sleeping in a separate room from me lately because of that guy?"

When a person is on the verge of extreme helplessness and anger, they may even laugh out loud in anger.

I couldn't help but ask myself, "Wasn't my stance clear enough just now?"

I explained helplessly, "If I really wanted to share a room with you because of Zhao Ning, then why did I so resolutely refuse him just now?"

He persisted, saying, "Yes, haven't you been arguing with me all this time because of your partnership with him? What, you didn't accept him when he confessed his feelings just now? Are you afraid he'll find out you're carrying my child, so you didn't dare to agree?" As he pressed on, his words became increasingly vicious. I gritted my teeth and glared at him angrily.

"You've been hesitant and unwilling to keep this child. Is it because of him? Are you thinking of aborting the child and then being with him?"

He questioned me almost frantically. Looking at his out-of-control state, I felt utterly exhausted and drained.

“I don’t plan to keep this child because you are about to marry Lin Nan. Once this child is born, it will only be known as an illegitimate child. If you really care about me, you shouldn’t make me keep the child, and you shouldn’t make unfounded accusations that I have an affair with someone else.” I said calmly and firmly.

Faced with my resolute stance, Jiang Yichen revealed a hint of helplessness and coldly replied, "I've told you countless times that I won't be with Lin Nan. Why do you always hold onto things that haven't even happened?"

I gave a bitter smile, glared at him, and retorted in a low voice, "The news of your engagement has spread far and wide, how can I not take it seriously? Every time I ask you why, you always remain silent."

I……

Jiang Yichen was about to explain further, but I raised my hand to stop him: "You don't need to explain to me, and I don't want to know. I'm very tired right now and need to take a shower and rest."

I got up to leave, but he shoved me back. He strode to the door, locked it from the inside, and coldly warned, "If you dare to step out of this door today, don't even think about going to work again."

I glared at him, filled with indignation: "You're utterly unreasonable!"

I gripped the bedsheet tightly and shouted angrily, but my shouts were like a stone thrown into the sea, failing to stir up the slightest ripple.

Helpless, I had no choice but to hold my anger and take a shower. The hot water washed over my body, but it couldn't wash away the anger in my heart.

After taking a shower, I lay in bed, the sound of water still running in the bathroom, but Jiang Yichen's cold and hard face kept flashing in my mind, making me grit my teeth with hatred.

In my dazed state, I felt someone hug me from behind. I struggled slightly and deliberately moved towards the edge of the bed.

Jiang Yichen's strong arms held me tightly, making it impossible for me to move. After struggling for a while, I gradually felt tired, so I simply gave up resisting and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that Jiang Yichen was no longer in the room. I assumed he had left, so I went out of the room without worry. Unexpectedly, I ran into my grandmother and Jiang Yichen having a meal as soon as I went downstairs.

I couldn't argue with Jiang Yichen in front of my grandmother, so I forced myself to remain calm and greeted her, "Good morning, Grandma!"

Grandma looked at me, smiled kindly, and asked with concern, "Momo, your competition should be over, right? I see you've lost a lot of weight because you're so tired lately. Why don't you rest at home for a couple of days before going back to work?"

Grandma's words sent a chill down my spine. I instinctively glanced at Jiang Yichen, only to see him sitting there eating as if nothing had happened, completely unconcerned. My anger flared instantly. He must have said something to Grandma to make her suddenly suggest that I stay home and rest.

Grandma seemed to notice my unusual behavior and quickly explained, "This has nothing to do with Jiang Yichen. Grandma just noticed that you haven't looked well lately and wanted you to rest at home and take good care of yourself."

I sat down next to my grandma, trying my best to be well-behaved: "Grandma, I'm fine. If I'm really not feeling well, I'll take a day off. Besides, the competition just ended, and there's still some work to finish up. I'll definitely come back to spend some quality time with you in a couple of days, okay?"

Grandma raised her hand and gently tapped my forehead, saying affectionately, "You're just trying to appease Grandma. But never mind, as long as you're healthy, you can continue going to work."

In the end, Grandma gave in. I glanced at Jiang Yichen smugly, secretly rejoicing.

When I went to work with Jiang Yichen, I deliberately chose to sit in the back. Jiang Yichen frowned, turned around and glared at me, coldly ordering, "Sit in the front. Do you really think I'm your driver?"

I deliberately turned my head away, refusing to look at him, silently chanting, "I'm not listening, this bastard is talking nonsense." Unexpectedly, the next second Jiang Yichen got out of the car, followed me to the back seat, and quickly made a phone call. Soon, another driver arrived.

I glared at him and muttered under my breath, "Are you crazy?" But Jiang Yichen completely ignored me.

We remained silent the entire way, and the atmosphere inside the car was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

To avoid causing any further misunderstandings, I deliberately slowed down my pace and walked behind Jiang Yichen when I got out of the car and headed to the company.
