บท 92: New Life
Xiao Wu was heartbroken and distressed, wounded by emotions, and her tears fell because of her third brother.
Her mind was consumed by the gut-wrenching scene, deeply piercing her heart.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was completely absorbed in sadness, forgetting everything around her.
She cried like this for several minutes before her sobs gradually subsided.
Xiao Wu grabbed Chen Xuan's shirt, wiping away the tears and snot from her face, revealing a flushed yet soft and innocent face.
Chen Xuan was speechless, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. No one could understand how badly he wanted to vent his frustration at that moment.
It seemed that Xiao Wu was completely oblivious and hadn't yet realized it was him.
Chen Xuan felt parched and uncomfortable. He suspected the little girl was doing it on purpose—sitting on his stomach, shifting around in an ambiguous position. He couldn't help but wonder if she was doing it intentionally.
When Xiao Wu opened her swollen eyes, she saw a clear yet hateful face—her most disliked person, Chen Xuan.
"Ah!"
She screamed as if she were a startled rabbit struck by electricity, immediately leaping up and retreating ten meters away.
"You… why is it you? What did you do to me?" Xiao Wu asked, panicking and hurriedly tidying her clothes.
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched; he was more than speechless. That should've been his line!
"Shouldn't I be asking what you did to me?" he said, feeling indignant. Did fairness no longer exist?
She had just done something inappropriate while sitting on him, left him drenched in her tears and other gross, sticky fluids, and now she was pretending nothing happened?
Not wanting to take responsibility was one thing, but to also accuse him in return?
Xiao Wu gradually calmed down and finally realized that Chen Xuan's shirt was soaked—completely drenched by her tears.
Her face turned red with embarrassment. She had been in such a bad mood earlier, wanting to vent, and hadn't even noticed it was Chen Xuan.
The more she thought about how she had cried so miserably, the more embarrassed Xiao Wu became, her cheeks blushing deeply.
But the most crucial thing was that she had been lying in this man's arms for quite a while. Her dignity was gone. He could have pushed her away or said something, but he hadn't.
"Chen Xuan, you did it on purpose! You took advantage of me!" Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with suspicion.
Chen Xuan had a big question mark over his head. What was going on in this thousand-year-old rogue rabbit's brain?
He glanced at her with exasperation and said, "You're the one taking advantage of me. Look at my shirt, it's covered with your tears and snot. If anything, you're the one who owes me!"
Looking at the sticky mess on his clothes, Chen Xuan felt utterly disgusted. He decided to burn the shirt later—too gross to keep.
"You're lying!"
Xiao Wu's face reddened as she huffed, "I didn't drool or cry that much. Don't make things up!"
"Sure, sure, you didn't drool. This sticky stuff all over me? That must be my fault then." Chen Xuan shrugged, sarcastically adding, "Fine. Whatever you say."
"What do you mean 'fine'?!" Xiao Wu glared at him, displeased. Was that really how one spoke to a girl? No wonder he was still single—no one would ever like him.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's head back," Chen Xuan shifted the topic and walked off on his own.
Xiao Wu bit her lip, watching his firm back as he left. She suddenly fell silent, standing frozen in place.
Since when had this hateful man become so nonchalant with her? Acting as though nothing had happened—had he really forgotten what transpired that day?
How could he be so calm, without a hint of guilt or remorse? Did he truly forget so easily?
Xiao Wu's gaze dimmed as she absentmindedly touched her growing belly, feeling sorrow overwhelm her.
She felt torn and conflicted. It was her who had said she didn't need him to take responsibility, that they would never speak of it again—she had insisted on it.
But now, seeing Chen Xuan act as if nothing had happened, not caring about her at all, with no guilt or regret, it made her heart ache.
Her belly grew bigger by the day, and now she had to face the betrayal of her beloved third brother. Only she knew the depth of her pain.
Xiao Wu felt deeply saddened. First, Chen Xuan had violated her, and now her loved one had betrayed her. She felt abandoned by the world, lonely and helpless.
In this moment of heartache, she nearly broke down, collapsing to the ground, hugging her legs, and curling up into a ball, her head resting on her knees as she sobbed quietly.
Today's emotional blow was too much for her to bear. The agony of losing her beloved was a heart-wrenching pain, even worse than when she had lost her mother.
She couldn't understand how Chen Xuan could be so indifferent and composed, how he could carry on so guilt-free.
Was it really necessary to uphold the words she had once said, not needing him to take responsibility?
Xiao Wu's sorrow deepened as she touched her stomach, tears streaming down her face, soaking the earth beneath her.
"Baby, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you won't have a father," she wept quietly, filled with remorse.
She had originally planned to offer herself to her third brother after the competition, so that when the baby was born, it could have a father.
But today's heart-shattering betrayal had destroyed her plan, leaving her heartbroken and hopeless. Now, all she wanted was to flee, to leave this place of conflict and raise the life inside her on her own.
The setting sun bathed the horizon in a deep red, a magnificent yet melancholic sight.
In the twilight, the golden rays filtered through the trees, casting a soft glow on Xiao Wu, making her look like a beautiful, lonely goddess.
"Xiao Wu."
A sudden voice broke the silence, waking her from her daze.
When she looked up, she saw a rather handsome young man walking toward her step by step.
"Why are you still here? It's time to go back," Chen Xuan said, walking toward her against the backdrop of the setting sun.
"Chen... Chen Xuan?" Xiao Wu asked, first confused, then realizing, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"
Chen Xuan's eyes glowed red as he stared at her belly, sensing something. His body trembled for a moment, as if a shockwave hit him internally.
But he quickly calmed down and resumed his usual demeanor, saying, "If I told you I was worried about you, would you believe me?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, staring at him in disbelief.
"You… what do you mean?" She took a few steps back, both shocked and wary.
Chen Xuan raised a hand but held back, stepping ten meters away instead. "Don't be alarmed. That day was an accident. I swear I won't harm you."
Xiao Wu's suspicion didn't fade. Her instincts told her something was off—why had he suddenly become so caring?
"Stay where you are. I'll head back on my own," she said cautiously, clearly wanting to avoid him.
She chose a different path, leaving the forest and heading toward the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.
Chen Xuan didn't mind. He took another exit and returned to Shrek's base.
