Chapter 389 Forgive Me, But I Won't Go Back
Zhou Xinyu spoke through gritted teeth, his tone icy. He had never spoken to her like this before, and Xue Ruowei was genuinely afraid that he might go crazy like Yan Ye.
Her tone softened a bit: "I need to change Xiaoyan's diaper. How can I help her if you're like this? Go away."
Zhou Xinyu glared at her for a long time before slowly releasing them.
Watching her skillfully change the baby's diaper, Zhou Xinyu's expression softened. He felt a little guilty about his tone of voice earlier, but when he thought of her lukewarm attitude towards him, that guilt quickly disappeared.
After changing the diaper, the baby stopped crying, but because Zhou Xinyu was there, Xue Ruowei didn't put the baby back in the crib. Instead, she held the baby tightly and stared at Zhou Xinyu warily.
She was still somewhat worried that he would take her daughter away.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Xinyu was both angry and heartbroken. They were so loving, how could things have turned out like this?
He longed to treat Yue Yirou the way Yan Ye treated her, but he was conflicted. He knew her too well; he knew her personality too well. If he really acted like Yan Ye, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it, and he would only push her further away.
After some internal struggle, Zhou Xinyu decided to have a serious talk with her before making a decision.
If they can't reach an agreement and she still refuses to go home with him, then he'll have no choice but to take the extreme step like Yan Ye.
"Ruowei, I was tricked by my mother into hugging Lu Zhilei, but we haven't really gone that far yet. Tell me, what do I have to do for you to believe me and come home with me?" Zhou Xinyu's tone was gentle, but it was filled with deep pain.
He always thought that Xue Ruowei refused to go home with him and wanted to divorce him simply because she didn't believe that he and Lu Zhilei were innocent.
"I already believe you," Xue Ruowei said calmly.
After talking with Yue Yirou yesterday, she understood and believed that he and Lu Zhilei were innocent.
She forgave him.
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Xinyu couldn't help but smile with delight, but her next words instantly froze his smile.
"But I won't go back with you."
"Why?" She already believes him, so why won't she go back with him?
Xue Ruowei looked down at her rosy-cheeked daughter in her arms: "I hope my daughter grows up in a warm and loving environment."
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Xinyu frowned. Didn't they think their little home was cozy and loving?
"What do you mean? What do you think?" Xue Ruowei looked up at him with a hint of grievance. "Xinyu, your parents don't like me, they don't like the child I gave birth to. Even if we move out, do you think we'll be happy? What if they come to make trouble, what if they threaten to kill themselves to force you to move back? What will you choose? What if they try to make you sleep with another woman? How many times can you escape?"
“Xinyu, I can already imagine what kind of life we will lead after we go back with you. I don’t want to live that kind of life, and I don’t want our daughter to grow up in that kind of environment.”
Zhou Xinyu understood. She didn't stop loving him, and she didn't really want to divorce him. She was just worried that his parents would look down on her and their daughter.
"Ruowei, don't worry, I won't let anything like this happen again. If you'd like, the three of us can move to a place where my parents can't find us."
"What did you say?" Xue Ruowei looked at Zhou Xinyu in astonishment. "Moving to a place your parents can't find? You mean, for the sake of me and our daughter, you're abandoning your parents and ignoring everything about the Zhou family?"
Zhou Xinyu remained silent.
"Do you want to be despised by the world? They are your parents who gave you life and raised you. They may not like me, but their love for you is no less than mine. Xinyu, you can't do this, and I won't allow you to do it."
Doesn't he know that she doesn't want to go back with him, forces herself to ignore him, and pressures him to get a divorce, all because she doesn't want him to be an unfilial son?
If he really became an unfilial son for her sake, she would feel guilty.
"This won't work, that won't work, so tell me, what should I do? You said you don't want to live that kind of life, so I'll give you another kind of life, but you don't want me to be an unfilial son, so do you want me to die? You should know how much I love you. Without you, I can't live, Ruowei."
"..." Xue Ruowei was stunned, staring blankly at Zhou Xinyu.
He couldn't live without her...
She didn't know what to say or what to do.
What sins did she commit in her past life to end up with such in-laws?
Yue Yirou used to envy her, now it's her turn to envy her.
After Yue Yirou finished feeding the baby, she looked up at the closed bathroom door. Yan Ye had taken a long time taking a cold shower this time, hadn't he?
She was worried he would catch a cold because he took a cold shower so early in the morning and it lasted so long.
If she had known he was so thirsty, she should have pushed him away when he clung to her after she woke up.
This man is really something. He knows she's just finished her postpartum period and it's inconvenient for her to be alone. He knows her situation, yet he still keeps clinging to her. Isn't he just making trouble for himself?
With a sigh of heartache, Yue Yirou carried the baby and left the room.
After going downstairs and putting the well-fed baby into the stroller, Yue Yirou pushed the stroller to the kitchen door.
Xue Tao and Aunt Wu were preparing breakfast inside. Yue Yirou put the stroller at the door and then went in alone.
"Good morning, Uncle Xue and Aunt Wu," Yue Yirou greeted them.
"Good morning, young mistress," Xue Tao and Aunt Wu said in unison.
Yue Yirou personally cooked a bowl of ginger soup for Yan Ye, and Yan Ye happened to come downstairs just as she brought it out.
Yan Ye's expression didn't look good because Yue Yirou had left him in the room without waiting for him to come down.
He had just come out of the bathroom and saw that neither she nor the baby were in the room. He felt like the whole world had abandoned him; he felt lost, empty, bewildered, and confused…
In the past, he would have already grabbed Yue Yirou by the neck and questioned her about why she didn't wait for him, whether she didn't love him, and whether she wanted to escape from him.
Yue Yirou could tell what was wrong with Yan Ye just by looking at his face. She was relieved that he just stood there glaring at her instead of rushing up and pinning her against the wall to yell at her.
Before Yan Ye could ask anything, Yue Yirou placed the ginger soup on the table, then smiled and waved to Yan Ye, signaling him to come over.
She not only didn't come over to kiss him, hug him, or comfort him, but she also dared to order him around?
Yan Ye's volatile temper was raging, but he held back, his face grim, and slowly walked towards Yue Yirou.
Seeing his expression, Yue Yirou felt both gratified and somewhat amused.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore." Yue Yirou gently kissed his cheek, then picked up the bowl of ginger soup on the table. "Drink it while it's hot."
