Lu Feng had just returned from Saner's place when Saner tearfully told him that Tan Xi Yuan had sent her a message, cursing at her.
Saner removed the beginning and end of the text message and showed Lu Feng only the part where Tan Xi Yuan cursed at her.
With a pitiful voice, she said, "Husband, she knows I'm pregnant. She sent me a message, calling me the other woman and telling me to have the baby and leave. Sob... Can you please ask her not to take my child away? This child is my life..."
"She said she wants you to leave the house... I don't care about that. I love you for who you are, whether you have money or not, I will be with you..."
Seeing the woman crying with tear-streaked face, Lu Feng was moved by her words and comforted her warmly.
"You're back!"
Tan Xi Yuan greeted Lu Feng, her tone calm, as if nothing was amiss.
"Yeah."
Lu Feng replied awkwardly. After changing into slippers at the entrance, he sat down on the sofa and discreetly glanced at Tan Xi Yuan, wondering what she was going to say next.
Tan Xi Yuan elegantly picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, and said, "How many months is she pregnant?"
"Over four months."
Lu Feng said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I..."
"Don't apologize to me." Before Lu Feng could finish, Tan Xi Yuan interrupted him excitedly, "Does apologizing help? You did such a thing and now you're apologizing to me, does it help?"
"What do you want then?"
"What do I want? I want you to give me her child and leave her. Are you willing?"
In fact, Tan Xi Yuan didn't want to raise Saner's child at all. She was just venting her anger.
Lu Feng helplessly said, "How can I do that? The child is not only mine."
"Then why are you asking me what I want? I've told you, but you can't do it." Tan Xi Yuan's eyes turned red with anger.
Lu Feng turned his gaze away, afraid to look at Tan Xi Yuan, and said in a low voice, "I know I've let you down. You can make any request, as long as it's something I can do, I will try my best to fulfill it."
A cold smile appeared on Tan Xi Yuan's lips as she said, "I want you to leave the house. Will you agree?"
"Is there anything else besides leaving the house?" Lu Feng said weakly.
"No, as long as you leave the house, I can divorce you at any time."
Lu Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a few puffs, and said in a low voice, "Can't we stay married?"
Tan Xi Yuan let out a cold laugh, "What do you think?"
"Xi Yuan." Lu Feng looked at Tan Xi Yuan and said seriously, "I have never thought about divorcing you."
"Never thought about divorcing me, yet you secretly found another woman behind my back?" Tan Xi Yuan's eyes welled up with tears as she said excitedly.
"I just wanted a child." Lu Feng said in a deep voice, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. "We've tried every method over the years, and I don't want to see you suffer like this."
Tears streamed down Tan Xi Yuan's face as she spoke with a heavy nasal voice, "I'm still young. We will definitely have a child."
"Lu Feng's eyes welled up with tears. 'Then let's not get divorced, okay?'
'If we don't get divorced, how will you deal with that woman outside?'
'Can't you just coexist peacefully with her? I will still come back to you every night, just like before. You can pretend she doesn't exist, can't you?' Lu Feng looked at Tan Xi Yuan, his voice filled with pleading."
