You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Ruan Ning stared blankly at the blurry yet familiar figure on the screen.

Bai Xinyao was just going on a blind date, yet Fu Tingchen lost control like this.

That must be such a loving thing.

Fu Tingchen was always cold and indifferent towards her, showing no emotional fluctuation.

This was the first time in all these years that he had seen Fu Tingchen so angry and out of control.

Ruan Ning's heart felt like it was blocked by a block of ice, suffocating and painfully cold.

Fu Tingchen is a man who always knows how to disguise himself and never loses his composure in front of outsiders.

Although he used to be indifferent, he would consider her status as Mrs. Fu and the reputation of the Fu family.

This time, however, he acted without restraint, and in front of countless passersby, he lost control and started hitting people for Bai Xinyao.

The light from the phone screen illuminated Ruan Ning's quiet features.

Sadness welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't cry.

It's absurd and laughable.

Her marriage was a joke from the start.

Just then, the phone rang urgently again.

Caller ID: Mother-in-law.

Ruan Ning pulled herself back to reality, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.

Then came Jin Manrong's angry rebuke from the other end of the phone.

Did you see that?

Ruan Ning said in a hoarse voice, "I saw it."

Jin Manrong: "Look at the chaos online right now."

"I arranged for you to marry Tingchen so that you would keep a close eye on him and control him! Not so that you would let him run wild outside and disgrace the Fu family!"

"Right now, the entire internet is abuzz with rumors about Tingchen and Bai Xinyao, and they've even gotten into a scandal involving a public assault. The whole social circle in Haicheng knows about it."

Even relatives from the Jin family called to ask me, "Where do you think I'm supposed to put my face?"

Jin Manrong never uttered a single word criticizing Fu Tingchen's willful and absurd behavior.

She placed all the blame and responsibility on herself, the victim.

It's as if her husband's outbursts and troublesome behavior with another woman during their marriage are her fault as the wife for not keeping a close watch on him, and for her incompetence and dereliction of duty.

Ruan Ning felt a tightness in her chest as she listened to the harsh rebuke.

She spoke softly, "Mom, this is Fu Tingchen's own choice, it has nothing to do with me, I can't control him."

"You're his wife; if you can't control him, who can?"

Jin Manrong rebuked him sternly: "Husband and wife are one. If he causes trouble outside, you will naturally bear all the consequences. Now is not the time for you to shirk your responsibility."

"This matter has had a very negative impact. You must come back immediately to resolve it. Go back to the old house right now!"

After saying that, Jin Manrong didn't give Ruan Ning any chance to refute her and hung up the phone decisively.

Ruan Ning held her phone for a long time before slowly closing her eyes.

so tired...

A moment later, Ruan Ning got up, washed up, changed her clothes, picked up her car keys, and drove back to the Fu family's old house.

Halfway there, the phone rang again.

Seeing the word "Dad" on the caller ID, Ruan Ning's brow twitched, and the weariness in her heart doubled.

She raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples and pressed the answer button.

Xu Jianye's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ningning, what's going on with the news online? Tell Dad the truth, what happened between you and Fu Tingchen?"

"Just now, many relatives came to ask me if there were problems in your marriage, and whether Fu Tingchen really beat someone in the street for another woman. The entertainment news is full of these kinds of things."

Ruan Ning felt utterly overwhelmed and exhausted, both physically and mentally.

She was in a state of turmoil.

She simply didn't have the extra energy to explain things to her father in detail.

"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding. The news online is exaggerated; it's not as outrageous as it's made out to be."

"A misunderstanding?" Xu Jianye clearly didn't believe it.

He said in a serious tone, "What misunderstanding could make him take action for another woman in public? Ningning, don't hide it from me, tell me honestly."

"It's really nothing. I'm on my way to the Fu family's old house to deal with this matter. I'll tell you the details after I'm done."

"Okay, I won't press you, but you must bring Fu Tingchen home this weekend. I want to ask him myself."

After hanging up the phone.

Ruan Ning was exhausted.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the Fu family's old residence.

A black sedan slowly drove into the old house's ornate wrought iron gate.

At the same time, another car also drove through the gate.

Finally, they stopped one after the other in Ruan Ning's car in front of the villa at the Fu family's old residence.

Ruan Ning sat in the car, turned her head slightly, and saw the car behind her through the rearview mirror.

It's Fu Tingchen's car.

She sat silently for two seconds, composed herself with all her surging emotions, and then got out of the car.

A gentle breeze blew in her face, causing her long hair to sway slightly.

She had just regained her footing when the car door behind her opened.

A tall, slender, and aloof figure was the first to step off the bus.

Fu Tingchen was dressed in a silver-gray haute couture suit, and his posture was upright.

The next second, a slender, fair hand gently rested on his arm.

Bai Xinyao followed closely behind and got out of the car.

She wore a moon-white long dress and had exquisite makeup.

The two stood side by side, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their posture intimate and their figures perfectly matched.

It was both glaring and absurd.

When Fu Tingchen saw Ruan Ning not far away, his eyes paused slightly.

A look of panic flashed across the man's face.

He almost instinctively pushed away Bai Xinyao's hand and strode towards Ruan Ning.

"Ruan Ning, let me explain. It's not what you see."

His voice lacked its usual coldness and indifference.

Desperately trying to salvage something.

Ruan Ningjing stood quietly in place.

There were no questions, no crying or fussing.

So calm that no emotion could be discerned.

However, Fu Tingchen felt that Ruan Ning's behavior made him more anxious than crying and making a fuss.

Ruan Ning gently tugged at her lips.

Was things not as she perceived them to be?

Fu Tingchen didn't need to explain at all.

She knew all too well what the relationship was between Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao.

Last night he took the initiative to ask her out to dinner to apologize.

However, upon hearing that Bai Xinyao was going on a blind date, he rushed over to stop her.

Thinking of this, Ruan Ning felt like laughing again.

Thanks to Bai Xinyao's blind date, Fu Tingchen was able to sign the divorce agreement so quickly.

I really have to thank her.

Ruan Ning looked at her nominal husband in front of her, gently tugged at the corners of her lips, and gave a very faint smile.

"It's alright, let's go inside."

I'm indifferent and unconcerned.

Fu Tingchen paused, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

She was too calm.

The scandal that caused a stir online.

He had just returned with Bai Xinyao, who was holding his arm, and she seemed completely unconcerned.

Looking at Ruan Ning's calm appearance, Fu Tingchen felt a sense of emptiness and confusion.

It seems like something is quietly slipping away.

The group entered the house one after the other.
