Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (14)

When Ah Chen went downstairs to have breakfast, she found that Yu Xiaoran was actually in the living room.

“Didn’t go to the company?” she asked anyway.

Yu Xiaoran said, “It’s not very busy today. You have breakfast first, and we’ll head back to the old residence together later.”

That was quite rare, as he used to go to the company every Saturday, letting the commissioner go on his own.

Ah Chen responded with a hum and leisurely ate her breakfast.

Yu Xiaoran looked at her indifferent and nonchalant demeanor, feeling slightly irritable, yet also somewhat mocking.

How could he not know her personality? Showing her some favor, and she thinks she can control him? She miscalculated.

He was merely putting on a show. If she kept being unaware of the situation, he would just use it as an excuse to cool things down. They had a year and three-month agreement, during which there would be no risk of divorce.

Yu Xiaoran wasn’t worried about Bai Chen wanting a divorce. After divorcing him, it would be nearly impossible for her to find someone matching his status and appearance.

The previous year and three-month agreement was only between him and the Lu Family brothers; presumably, they didn’t take little Bai Chen seriously either, right?

The Yu Family’s old residence.

When the car stopped, Yu Xiaoran stood at Ah Chen’s car door to open it for her and even reached out, intending to help her down.

But if he reached out, should she place her hand on his?

She wasn’t willing to act with him.

Casually pushing that hand aside, she got out of the car and added, “I’m not interested in you recently, no need to be so attentive.”

Yu Xiaoran’s face darkened slightly, but he quickly put on a helpless smile: “This is the old residence, you should hold my arm going in, otherwise, if people see it, they’ll think there’s a problem with our relationship and laugh at us.”

“We don’t even have a relationship, how could there be a problem?”

“I’ve always come alone before; they’ve laughed enough. It’s not lacking this time.”

Ah Chen glanced at him with a smile, picked up her bag, and walked into the old residence.

Yu Xiaoran had no choice but to follow, suppressing his anger and impatience in his deep eyes. Did she really think she was some sort of noble lady? Since she didn’t appreciate his respect, he’d take the chance to cool things down. The Lu Family brothers wouldn’t dwell on this matter due to their agreement.

When things cool down, she’ll be the only one panicking.

They were the last to arrive. As the Yu Family saw them enter one after the other, the atmosphere felt a bit off; it was obvious there was an issue.

After greeting everyone, Ah Chen found a seat to sit down.

All sorts of gazes landed on her, but she seemed oblivious.

“Cousin, have you made cousin-in-law angry?” Yu Xingfan asked with a smile, constantly glancing between the two, “Cousin-in-law has always been well-mannered. Knowing that today is a family gathering and still got angry, it must be something excessive you did, Cousin. You should quickly apologize to her, in case Grandfather sees and is displeased.”

“It’s not your place to speak here,” Yu Xiaoran said coldly, casting a glance at Yu Xingfan, scaring the latter into a sheepish smile. But thinking of something, his smile had a deeper meaning.

Ah Chen didn’t miss Yu Xingfan’s expression. Speaking of which, the commissioner knowing Bai Ying would possess her was thanks to Yu Xingfan.

This person also seemed to have been reincarnated, seemingly not long ago.

“No matter what dispute you two have in private, today is a family gathering. Don’t upset the old man,” Guan Xiang said, her gaze sweeping over Ah Chen disapprovingly.

How could she be satisfied with a daughter-in-law like this? It’s just a verbal marriage contract, yet her son agreed. It was infuriating.

After that, everything was calm; they had lunch quietly, and would leave only after dinner. She was patient; there wasn’t much to do anyway.

Today cleared up, with no more rain; the sun even came out.

After the meal, Ah Chen was fiddling with her phone on the sofa, while Yu Xiaoran went to the study with Mr. Yu.

Yu Xingfan somehow sat beside her, suddenly whispering, “Cousin-in-law, I have a secret here; do you want to know?”

Seeing Ah Chen lift her head, his smile deepened, scrutinizing her face.

He’d never looked closely before, but his cousin-in-law was quite pretty.

Last life, he schemed Bai Chen for Yu Xiaoran to cause trouble. This life, Yu Xiaoran married Bai Chen early; with such significant changes in the Yu Family, he guessed what happened. His cousin should have been reincarnated like him, probably a couple of years ago.

Although it’s tough to retake the Yu Family, he’d still be glad to make things difficult for him.

Previously, he schemed Bai Chen into marrying Yu Xiaoran, having no interest in getting involved. Now that she was Yu Xiaoran’s wife, it was different.

He clearly understood Yu Xiaoran’s intentions in marrying her, wasn’t it just to wait for someone named Bai Ying?

Even so, the other party probably wasn’t willing to wear a green hat, right?

“Go ahead,” Ah Chen glanced at Yu Xingfan, “But keep some distance, you’re giving off a scent.”

Yu Xingfan’s expression twisted for a moment, realizing she subtly called him foul-mouthed. How arrogant.

Was it because she was Yu Xiaoran’s wife? Would she go mad if she knew the truth?

“Cousin-in-law, if you want to hear, come with me.” His cousin was just waiting for someone else and probably hadn’t done anything to her. If he succeeded, it’d surely disgust people to death.

Ah Chen shook her head, “If you want to say something, just say it.”

She wasn’t afraid of Yu Xingfan’s tricks, just unwilling to go with him.

Yu Xiaoran looked down on Yu Xingfan, and she quite despised him too. Dealing with him was too easy. Besides, such matters were better left for reincarnators to deal with.

Seeing her immovable stance, Yu Xingfan felt extremely frustrated.

But he was eager to share this news, sneering; if he couldn’t hook Bai Chen, there were other opportunities. First, tell her the truth, and let her stir trouble for Yu Xiaoran. He could guarantee that once she knew the truth, Yu Xiaoran wouldn’t find peace.

He couldn’t gain benefits from Yu Xiaoran, but at least the other party shouldn’t have it easy.

“Cousin-in-law, you don’t really think your marriage with Cousin is just a parental agreement, do you?” he asked in a lowered voice.

While observing Ah Chen’s expression, he saw a flicker of surprise, rejoicing in his heart, ready to speak further, when a voice suddenly interrupted: “What are you talking about?”

It was Yu Xiaoran.

Yu Xingfan got up with a smile, “Just sharing some interesting stories with cousin-in-law.”

Yu Xiaoran looked at him skeptically, but he hadn’t overheard anything.

Yu Xingfan wasn’t any good; he didn’t care about Bai Chen, but given she held the title of wife now, and with Bai Ying eventually possessing, he had to guard against Yu Xingfan. This guy’s methods were vile.

“Just now, Cousin was telling me that our marriage isn’t merely a parental arrangement,” Ah Chen said, looking at Yu Xiaoran, “Xiao Ran, is there another reason?”

Let them fight.

Yu Xingfan almost stumbled; did Bai Chen have issues?

Yu Xiaoran’s dangerous gaze swept over Yu Xingfan, contemplating what he wanted to say. Could it be…

Ah Chen took a sip of tea, the corner of her eyes filled with amusement.

Wondering how Yu Xiaoran would handle Yu Xingfan, she asked again, “So what was it? I hope it’s not like those novels, where I’m a stand-in for some white moonlight of yours?”

Yu Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Yu Xingfan hadn’t had the chance to spill.

“No,” he replied, “I’ll explain it to you slowly once we get back.”

He needed to talk to her about Yu Xingfan’s ill intentions.

Meanwhile, Yu Xingfan cursed inwardly, feeling Yu Xiaoran’s gaze send shivers down his spine, for a moment tempted to shout out the reason. But doing so, he’d bear the brunt of all Yu Xiaoran’s fury and would never have a good life in this lifetime.

Plus, revealing the truth didn’t guarantee Bai Chen would believe him.

Damn, was Bai Chen brainless? Yu Xiaoran would definitely suspect he’d reincarnated.
