Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 152

"Chen Xiaohui: 'Hey, what do you think? If Tan Xi Yuan has a son and San Er has a daughter, do you think Grandma will come back and ask you for the child, Xi Yuan?'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'Even if she asks, I won't give the child to her!'

Gu Ya: 'That's right, Xi Yuan. You mustn't let them know that you've had a child. If it really happens as Xiaohui said, I'm worried they might come and try to take the child away from you.'

Li Man: 'What's there to be afraid of? By that time, the marriage will be over. Can they still take the child away?'

Gu Ya: 'That's hard to say. Blood ties can't be severed.'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'If he dares to come and take my child, I'll kill him!'

Gu Ya: 'You're about to become a mother, yet you still have such a temper. Who are you going to kill? Just tell him the child isn't his.'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'Damn it! What a terrible idea. You're suggesting that he suspects me of cheating?'

Gu Ya stifles a laugh while covering her mouth: 'If he can go searching, why can't you?'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'Get lost... I'm not as disgusting as he is!'

Li Man: 'But it's right that you're not letting him know you're pregnant. If he finds out, he definitely won't divorce you. Even if you file for divorce, the court won't grant it because you're pregnant.'

Chen Xiaohui: 'Yes, Xi Yuan, you should hurry up and get a divorce. Otherwise, when your belly starts showing, you won't be able to leave.'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'Hmm, I'll have the lawyer help me write the complaint tomorrow.'

Gu Ya: 'Does Lu Feng still not come home?'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'No, he doesn't come home anymore. That vixen clings to him every day. How would he have time to come back? My parents-in-law have gone to serve her, treating her like a queen.'

Chen Xiaohui: 'The higher they're elevated now, the harder they'll fall later!'

Li Man: 'It's better that he doesn't come back. If he did, we'd have to worry about him finding out you're pregnant.'

Tan Xi Yuan: 'Exactly, ever since I got pregnant, I truly feel that men are superfluous.'

Li Man makes a wry smile.

The women chatted for a while longer before going to sleep.

Chen Xiaohui put her phone on the bedside table to charge and casually turned off the light.

Tonight, she would be sharing a room with Li Man.

The curtains were not drawn, and moonlight flowed through the windowpane like water, casting its luminous glow onto the bed.

Li Man couldn't fall asleep and chatted with Chen Xiaohui for a while before drifting off in a daze.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep when, in a semi-conscious state, Li Man heard the faint sound of someone tampering with the front door in the living room.

She had always been a light sleeper, so upon hearing the noise, she jolted awake.

Instinctively, she glanced at Chen Xiaohui. In the darkness, Chen Xiaohui's eyes were shining. Chen Xiaohui noticed that Li Man was also awake and quickly reached out to cover Li Man's mouth, signaling for her not to speak.

At that moment, the sound of light footsteps could be heard in the living room.

A burglar!

Li Man quickly reached for her phone, but before she could touch it, the room's door was pushed open from the outside.

Li Man hurriedly lowered her hand and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Chen Xiaohui also quickly closed her eyes."

A person approached the bed quietly.

Li Man slightly opened her eyes and, under the bright moonlight, she saw a tall man holding a dagger, about to stab them.

Li Man was greatly alarmed. Without delay, she swiftly grabbed a pillow and struck the man.

Chen Xiaohui also leaped from the bed and kicked the man.

The man let out a painful cry as the dagger in his hand instinctively stabbed towards Chen Xiaohui.
