Chapter 1412: Chapter 1439: Accumulated Disappointment 7
Lu Xingshen gazed deeply at the girl whose emotions were clearly stirred, his dark and brooding eyes showing no ripple.
That incident six months ago had long faded from his mind, and the anger from then now seemed trivial.
He was too proud; even if the main fault was his, he wouldn’t do anything to make amends, let alone apologize.
Besides, he had already punished Shi Yue afterward, making her stay away from home for half a year.
He moved his lips, but felt it unnecessary to explain to such an insignificant woman, so he merely asked back plainly, "Shi Yue was just joking with you, do you have to take it so seriously?"
"A joke?" Jiang Tian laughed out loud, "Just because of her joke, I had to bear your anger, and even Zhouzhou was born prematurely by more than a dozen days."
Lu Xingshen said, unable to comprehend, "You want to stir up trouble with me over such a trivial matter? Aren’t you fine now?"
"Shi Yue is your junior; she doesn’t understand things. Do you, as the elder, also have to fuss over every detail?"
Lu Xingshen was most averse to dealing with these women’s grudges and grievances; he couldn’t fathom why Jiang Tian was making such a fuss.
Perhaps it was his character; Lu Xingshen always approached matters rationally.
Though Shi Yue had instigated the incident back then, it was Jiang Tian who took the bait, so she should bear her own consequences.
Also, it was his impulsiveness at the time that accidentally pushed her, and although nothing happened then, it resulted in premature labor, for which he bore undeniable responsibility.
Even though he despised Jiang Tian and the child, as he hadn’t wanted them in the first place, it didn’t mean he wanted anything to happen to them.
So Lu Xingshen felt it was his responsibility. He was quite uncomfortable about it at the time, which is why he vented his anger by punishing Shi Yue; he thought he had done more than enough.
Now Jiang Tian bringing it up only stirred up his irritation.
Jiang Tian hung her head, her heart churning in turmoil.
Misunderstood for no reason, nearly losing Zhouzhou was just a trivial matter in Lu Xingshen’s eyes?
Shouldn’t she have realized by now?
Because he didn’t care, it didn’t matter to him.
What was she still hoping for?
She lifted her head, "Shi Yue may be a junior, but Zhouzhou is your son; he’s even younger. On what grounds do you forgive Shi Yue on behalf of Zhouzhou? This is clearly double standards!"
"Jiang Tian." The man raised his voice to call her name. Jiang Tian had always been submissive before him, but today she was too abnormal, clearly displeased,
"Don’t push your luck. Don’t you remember how you married me? I think you need to reflect on that.
I am who I am, I’ll never like you, nor will I ever care about you or the piece of flesh you birthed.
If you regret it, you can propose a divorce anytime!"
He wore a haughty expression, convinced Jiang Tian wouldn’t propose a divorce, so these piercing words rolled easily off his tongue.
Jiang Tian’s eyes stung, her lips parted, but she couldn’t bring herself to agree; divorced, the child wouldn’t be hers, and she couldn’t let go of Zhouzhou.
Besides, she still wasn’t willing to give up on him.
Lu Xingshen paused for a moment, "Alright, I don’t want to waste more time with you. Go pick up Lu Zhou, I’ll send you two home."
Jiang Tian suppressed her inner turmoil, calmly saying,
"No need, after all, you’re just after peace and quiet. Being with me, every second disgusts you, doesn’t it? Why should I humiliate myself?"
"Jiang Tian!"
Lu Xingshen was thoroughly displeased; he could sense Jiang Tian’s attitude towards him had suddenly turned cold, making him uncomfortable with the feeling of her being out of his control.
