Chapter 3

Song Ruyi did not notice that Lu Jingnan was staring at her chest. The space in the car was too small, and Lu Jingnan’s presence was too overwhelming. Every time she was alone with him, she felt uncomfortable.

She lowered her head and considered how much she should compensate him for the taillight. If the price she offered was too low, he would definitely laugh at her; if the price was too high, she would not be able to afford it.

Song Ruyi felt conflicted.

For the past three years, she had to spend every day with Wanwan for two years until she understood what she said and would do as she was told. Only then did Song Ruyi start working.

As such, she did not have much savings.

While Song Ruyi was thinking about her problems, Lu Jingnan was also in a dilemma.

In the end, Lu Jingnan broke the silence. That said, what he said had nothing to do with compensation.

“How old is your daughter?”

Lu Jingnan gradually calmed down. He had considered other possibilities. He thought that perhaps she was just like him and was forced to adopt a child.

Did that tiger kid at home not call him Dad as well?

Song Ruyi raised her head. She remained silent.

Her eyes were full of wariness, and the fear in her heart grew. ‘Did he notice Wanwan’s identity?’

Lu Jingnan was infuriated by her wary gaze. She looked at him as if he was a human trafficker.

Thinking of how Song Ruyi thought of him, Lu Jingnan burned with anger again.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not a human trafficker. I’m just curious. How old is your daughter? After our divorce, have you been helping a poor child with the alimony I gave you? Or have you been keeping a man with it?”

“I didn’t touch a single cent of yours. If you want, I can return everything to you,” Song Ruyi said calmly.

She thought that she could take it as compensation for the tail light. As long as she did not use her own savings, she would not feel bad.

In fact, she did not expect that Lu Jingnan would give her a large amount of alimony.

She took it, but she never dared to use it.

Their one-year marriage was a deal, to begin with.

When they got the marriage certificate, he had paid her one million yuan. She had transferred all of it to the hospital’s account to pay the medical bills. In the end, her mother still passed on half a year later.

If it were not for an accident, she would have still been a virgin throughout their marriage for a year.

Since it had happened and a child was born, she could only accept the reality.

When Wanwan was born, Song Ruyi was tired. Even so, the joy that Wanwan brought to her life was far more than she had expected.

Hearing Song Ruyi’s words, Lu Jingnan was so angry that he was about to explode.

“Song Ruyi, are you feeling confident because you think that you can return all the money that you haven’t used?”

Lu Jingnan’s voice was getting louder.

‘How could this woman be so damned?’

Song Ruyi did not say anything.

She was confused. She did not understand why Lu Jingnan was angry.

‘Haven’t I been going along with what he was saying?’

“That taillight, Mr. Lu. How much do you want me to pay for it? Do note that I don’t have much money.” Song Ruyi quietly changed the topic.

She had gotten into this car to talk to him about the compensation. As for other questions outside of the topic, she did not want to ask or answer them.

Lu Jingnan was speechless at the change in topic. He was convinced of his suspicions.

‘I’m so angry and yet, she’s just calmly asking me how much money I want to claim from her?

‘Is the focus on the compensation?

‘Shouldn’t the focus be on her fooling around with another man and having a child right after divorcing me? Doesn’t she feel that she needs to explain it to me?

‘If I was kept in the dark, then it’s fine if she pretends she hasn’t done anything. Now that I bumped into her with the kid, she’s not going to explain at all?

‘She even kept calling me Mr. Lu. Is she cutting off ties completely?

‘I didn’t make her fulfill her duties as a wife during our year of marriage, but we had at least shared a bed. There were also a few times when we almost did the deed by accident. Otherwise, how would I know that her breasts had grown in size?’

Lu Jingnan snorted coldly. “Song Ruyi, do you think that you can just compensate me easily after damaging one of my taillights?”

Usually, expensive cars might need to be sent back to the workshop for repainting.

‘This woman’s thoughts are too simple.’

Song Ruyi just stared at him. ‘I only broke the car’s taillight. If not that, then what am I going to pay for?

‘He’s such a rich man, yet he still wants to extort a poor person like me?’

Song Ruyi felt that her patience was about to run out. Lu Jingnan should not act like this and go overboard just because she had a good temper.

“Then, I’ll return the card to you as compensation for the car, okay?”

Lu Jingnan. “…”

‘This woman deserves to get some sense knocked into her head.

‘She’s so direct that it’s making me speechless.’

“You can return the card, but is it that difficult to tell me how old your daughter is?”

Lu Jingnan raised his eyebrow. He did not lack money, of course. The taillight was a small matter. He could even take responsibility for the entire car if it was completely smashed. What he lacked at the moment was an explanation.

She had to give him a clear explanation for this predicament.

If she did not give him a clear explanation, he would not let her go.

Song Ruyi, however, really did not understand why Lu Jingnan had to ask Wanwan’s age. “She’s two years old and eight months old.”

“Two years old and eight months old? Huh, Song Ruyi, you’re really something. Tell me, did you have an affair with someone before our divorce?”

Lu Jingnan suddenly leaned forward and trapped Song Ruyi between the car door and the seat.

He wanted to find out if this woman had the guts to openly cheat on him before their marriage ended.

Otherwise, how could the child’s origin be explained?

When he leaned over, Song Ruyi subconsciously moved back, but she had no way to retreat.

Her eyes widened. On that night she was forced to have sex with him, he must be really drunk. It turned out that he did not remember having sex with her at all!

It was that time that got her pregnant.

As Lu Jingnan was drunk, she even considered aborting the child. In the end, she kept the baby under the doctor’s suggestion.

However, it was now being used against her.
