After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

Yun Luoxi sat up.

There was no light in the bedroom. In the dim light, she couldn't see Zhao Jingchuan's eyes clearly. She could only see the three-dimensional outline of his face.

She sighed helplessly, "Then what tone should I use to talk to you?"

Zhao Jingchuan was silent.

Yun Luoxi added: "I'm just explaining this to you because I'm afraid you might misunderstand me and think too much about it."

"I don't need your explanation!" Zhao Jingchuan suddenly said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.

Neither of them moved, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

A suffocating feeling of oppression spread in the bedroom.

After a while, Zhao Jingchuan laughed bitterly twice, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "So in your eyes, I am a suspicious and petty man."

"Oh, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you where you went, and I shouldn't have said harsh words to you after hearing you and Matt on the phone that day."

"But I've already apologized to you...what else do you want me to do?"

Yun Luoxi took a deep breath and said, "You are not wrong, it is my fault..."

"Enough!" Zhao Jingchuan interrupted in a deep voice.

Yun Luoxi was so frightened that her body trembled slightly.

Zhao Jingchuan said angrily: "I don't want to hear you say this again! Since that night, you said you were not angry, but I can see that you are not happy in your heart!"

"These days, even your smile to me is fake!"

"I tried hard to get closer to you, but you kept me at a distance. Does being with me really make you so miserable?"

"If I let you go free and let you be with Matt, will you be happy?"

Hearing this, Yun Luoxi's eyes slightly widened and reddened.

Her throat suddenly felt tight, as if an invisible hand was pinching her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She struggled to speak in a hoarse voice from her dry and sore throat:

"You...you clearly said that you would never be angry with me again because of Matt's matter, and you...you said something like this again."

Zhao Jingchuan sneered, "Tonight, you were the first to mention Matt!"

“……” Yun Luoxi was speechless.

"Every time I mention him, this is the result. I've had enough!" Zhao Jingchuan got out of bed and ran out.

boom--!

The sound of the door slamming shut was like a heavy hammer hitting Yun Luoxi's heart.

Her body trembled violently and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

Two hot tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, the scene of her first meeting with Zhao Jingchuan suddenly emerged in her mind.

At that time, he had a carefree smile on his face, and every time he looked at her, there seemed to be a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

They were honest with each other then, just like friends.

She could speak her true thoughts without any psychological burden, and he remained gentle and tolerant.

At that time, she really felt that spending the rest of her life with him was a good choice.

But everything changed after she unconsciously called Matt's name that night.

It was her fault that a rift had arisen between them that could never be repaired.

And that rift did not heal with the passage of time, but instead became deeper, making them further away from each other.

No matter how hard you try, it can't be fixed.

Zhao Jingchuan came to the terrace to smoke. He was staring into the distance in a daze when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Thinking it was Yun Luoxi who followed him, he quickly turned around and saw it was Zhao Zihua.

He was stunned for a moment, "Dad, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I was reading in the study and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep when I heard a loud slam of a door." Zhao Zihua took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then walked to Zhao Jingchuan's side.

"...Sorry, I accidentally closed the door." Zhao Jingchuan took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Zhao Zihua.

Zhao Zihua stretched out his hand and pushed it away, "I'm trying to quit smoking, just chew it to satisfy my craving."

"Why do you want to quit smoking all of a sudden?"

"It's time to quit. Your mother doesn't like me smoking anyway."

When he was young, Zhao Zihua was a heavy smoker, but because Yan Ziyin didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he quit smoking after he got married.

He only started smoking again after his youngest daughter went missing.

Now that his little daughter has been found, he has nothing to worry about and he thinks he should quit smoking.

Zhao Jingchuan smiled and said, "You and my mother have a really good relationship. As far as I can remember, you two have never had a fight."

The corners of Zhao Zihua's lips curled up into a proud smile, "Of course, you and Luo Xi don't look like a newlywed couple at all."

Zhao Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodging, and he forced a smile, "Luo Xi and I are fine, we don't look like a newlywed couple at all."

"Okay, stop pretending in front of me." Zhao Zihua said, "Your mother and I have long seen that there is a problem between you and Luo Xi, but we have never said anything because we think we should not interfere in the affairs of young people like you."

"But I see that the problems between you two seem to be getting worse recently."

Zhao Jingchuan lowered his head to shake off the cigarette ash, then turned his head to look into the distance. He brought the cigarette from his fingertips to his lips and took a deep puff.

Zhao Zihua asked: "Don't you want to talk to me?"

Zhao Jingchuan exhaled a puff of smoke and remained silent.

Zhao Zihua continued, "When you insisted on marrying Luo Xi, your mother and I opposed it. It was not because we felt that the daughter of the Yun family was not worthy of our family."

"I hate commercial marriages the most. I have turned away many marriage proposals for you brothers. I just hope that you brothers can marry the girls you like and have a happy marriage. Therefore, your mother and I never interfere in your relationship affairs."

"I opposed you marrying Luo Xi because I was worried that you didn't have a romantic relationship to get along with each other, and you didn't know each other well enough. If you went straight into marriage, you would face many problems."

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Jingchuan's lips.

Indeed, marriage was much more difficult than he had imagined.

"Do you want to know the secret of why your mother and I never quarrel?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jingchuan's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly turned to look at Zhao Zihua.

"But you have to answer me a question first. Do you really love Luo Xi?" Zhao Zihua asked.

Zhao Jingchuan nodded heavily without hesitation.

Zhao Zihua was a little skeptical, "Are you sure you understand what love is?"

"I..." Zhao Jingchuan groaned, "Anyway, she is the only one in my heart."

Zhao Zihua smiled and said, "Then remember one thing: everything is your fault. Her fault is also your fault."

Zhao Jingchuan was stunned and looked a little dazed.

Zhao Zihua added: "As long as you have this kind of ideological awareness, you won't quarrel."

Zhao Jingchuan said: "But... I've seen you not be so humble in front of my mother."

Zhao Zihua smiled and shook his head, "Jingchuan, you still don't understand. When a man bows his head in front of the woman he loves, that's not humility, that's love."

Zhao Jingchuan frowned slightly and looked at the smile in Zhao Zihua's eyes with confusion.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes every day how loving his parents were, he might have suspected that his father was being PUA'ed by his mother.
