After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 32 Never Betray

"It has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Xia didn't look up, and unconsciously turned the phone in her hand to face the screen.

She didn't intend to accept.

The car interior was only so big, and no matter how low the phone volume was, Ruan Muhuai couldn't avoid hearing it. She was worried that Song Nanqi would mention her illness.

She had mustered up the courage to tell him about her illness, but Ruan Muhuai didn't believe her.

Therefore, Jiang Xia didn't want to make a fool of himself any further.

Besides, they're getting a divorce anyway, so there's no point in saying anything more.

Ruan Muhuai narrowed his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with Jiang Xia's retort, but he restrained himself from getting angry and asked again, "Why didn't you answer?"

"It's none of your business, is it?" Jiang Xia took a deep breath and retorted again.

Meanwhile, Song Nanqi's call had already ended.

Jiang Xia then opened WeChat and typed: "Sorry, I'm not available to answer the phone right now. I'll probably be free next week. Which day is convenient for you? Let's chat over dinner."

This time, Song Nanqi replied quickly: [Okay, I'm off work on Tuesday.]

Jiang Xia: [Then Tuesday.]

Ruan Muhuai caught a glimpse of the words she typed out of the corner of his eye, and also keenly noticed the word 'Tuesday'. He couldn't help but scoff, "The divorce isn't even over yet, and you're already in such a hurry to start dating?"

Jiang Xia's pupils contracted instantly, and an unnamed fire burned in his heart.

She gritted her teeth and tried to suppress her emotions, her voice steady but with a cold indifference: "What I do is none of your business anymore."

Ruan Muhuai's face instantly turned ashen.

He drove the car off the overpass and continued driving at a steady speed, but three words escaped from his cold lips: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xia's temples throbbed, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "What? Are you worried that I'll cheat on you again during this last month of cooling-off period? Ruan Muhuai, I'm not as despicable and vile as you!"

The screeching sound of brakes ripped through the clear sky!

Ruan Muhuai ignored the vehicles behind him and glared angrily at Jiang Xia, but his voice remained calm: "Do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Xia was thrown forward due to the sudden braking, but luckily he was wearing a seatbelt.

After she settled into her seat, she couldn't help but glance back. If this Maybach hadn't been worth millions, the drivers behind her would probably have crashed into it all at once, instead of being forced to brake just in time!
"Ruan Muhuai! Do you know what you're doing? Drive faster! Don't hold up the people behind you, okay?!"

Seeing Ruan Muhuai's cold and unmoved face, she gritted her teeth helplessly and said again, "I didn't cheat on you! There's no one else outside! I'm completely innocent with everyone, can you please stop acting like this!"

Jiang Xia dislikes disturbing or affecting others.

I don't want my ridiculous and absurd actions to delay the rest of the traffic!

Ruan Muhuai was skeptical, but at least his words had a certain calming effect and eased his gloomy expression. He immediately started the car again.

Jiang Xia breathed a slight sigh of relief, and Jueji shut his mouth, not wanting to say anything more.

But Ruan Muhuai seemed to have taken a liking to it, and while driving, he coldly tossed out a sentence: "Jiang Xia, do you still remember what I said to you when we got married?"

Jiang Xia's breath hitched, and her thoughts, which had been pulled away in an instant, quickly came to the realization of Ruan Muhuai's meaning.

Seven years ago, she and Ruan Muhuai registered their marriage in a grand wedding banquet. Countless people smiled and offered their blessings, overjoyed, but Jiang Xia was the only one who couldn't smile no matter what.

Because she knew then that this marriage... might be too absurd.

After the wedding banquet, in the bridal chamber, Ruan Muhuai, having drunk a lot, walked into the room with glazed eyes. Looking at her in her bright red wedding dress, he sneered, "Are you satisfied now?"

He didn't say more.

He simply lifted her chin and said, "There's only one condition: from today onwards, you absolutely cannot betray me."

Although Jiang Xia was insignificant to him, as his wife, he, like any man, absolutely could not allow himself to be cuckolded.

This was the only condition, without mentioning the consequences, but Jiang Xia knew better than anyone what the outcome would be if she dared to betray him…

Time has passed, and Jiang Xia rolled down the car window, trying to ease her depressed and distressed heart. After a long while, she simply said, "I am not you."

"Heh." Ruan Muhuai sneered and didn't say anything more. Soon the car drove into the upscale wealthy area.

Before long, they slowly entered a villa with its gate already open, and the car was parked in the garage.

The old house, with its ancient charm, offers a picturesque view at every turn. Its architecture and decoration style resemble a garden, exuding both antiquity and grandeur. It also occupies a vast area, as the Ruan family has not yet divided their property.

Several large cars were parked in the front yard, and the butler was directing the servants to continuously load things into them.

This is not the ancestral home of the Ruan family. They return to the ancestral home every year to celebrate their death anniversary and birthday.

In the past, Jiang Xia would bring Ruan Yuanchao over half a month in advance to help with various preparations and preparations. Then, as the date approached, she would drive back to the old house with Ruan Muhuai.

"Young Master, Young Madam, you're back!"

The butler's enthusiastic voice soon came through, but Ruan Yuanchao did not get out of the back seat for a long time. So the butler asked, "Hey, where is the young master?"

"I didn't bring him," Ruan Muhuai said casually, then stepped into the house.

The butler was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia again: "Young Madam, what's wrong? You always come back early, but this year you're several days late, and why haven't you brought the young master yet?"

The butler, Uncle De, is over seventy years old, but he is still in good health, and out of consideration for their relationship, even the old man would give him some leeway.

Jiang Xia gave him a polite nod: "It's nothing, I don't know the specifics either, why don't you ask Mu Huai?"

Uncle De: "..."

He watched Jiang Xia walk around and enter the house. Why did he feel that the young mistress, whom he hadn't seen for several months, seemed... a little strange?
An orphan marrying into the Ruan family is a blessing earned over many lifetimes, and yet she suddenly speaks like that; Uncle De is somewhat dissatisfied.

When Jiang Xia arrived in the living room, there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

The most eye-catching person was naturally the old man on the main sofa, with a kind face and a cheerful smile, who looked like an approachable old man.

He is very healthy and has excellent energy.

As soon as he saw Jiang Xia, he waved hurriedly: "Xiaxia! Come here quickly, how long has it been since you saw Grandpa? Don't you miss Grandpa?"

Jiang Xia walked over with a smile, nodded to the old man, and called him "Grandpa." Then she heard the old man say, "Did Mu Huai make you angry again? Don't hide it from him, I know everything!"

Jiang Xia was taken aback, and her gaze instinctively fell on Ruan Muhuai, who was sitting on a single sofa not far away.

"Hey, why are you looking at him?" The old man blocked Jiang Xia's view. "Don't mind him! Grandpa will stand up for you. I won't let you suffer!"
