Chapter 278 - Romantic rivals

However, Tyler was only being delusional. He would never have a chance to spend the rest of his life with Yun Xuan.

That was because as soon as Ruolin got into her hotel room after the flight, the first thing she did was give Yun Xuan a video call. To her, if she couldn't have Tyler, no other woman should.

The two women looked at each other on the screen.

"It's you?!" Yun Xuan exclaimed when she saw a face that repulsed her. Ruolin was like a jinx to her: nothing good ever happened when they met.

Ruolin gave a bitter smile. "I know you don't want to talk to me."

"Why would I want to?"

"Don't hang up. It's important."

What could be more important to Ruolin than trying to break her and Tyler apart? Reflexively, she wanted to hang up.

Alas, before she did, she heard a voice that seemed to be coming from a recording device. Sure enough, there was a small recording pen in Ruolin's hand now.

(Qin Zhan, you have changed. Do you want our son to grow up knowing that his parents are in bad terms?)

Her hand paused. Wasn't Qin Zhan Tyler? That was undoubtedly Ruolin's voice. What son was she talking about?

Before she could laugh it off and accuse Ruolin of making things up to sow discord between her and her husband, Tyler's voice came through the recorder. ("Don't even try to guilt-trip me using my son. I haven't taken him away from you only because of the gratitude I hold towards Grandma. If not, he wouldn't know you exist.")

She was taken aback. Tyler did not deny it? He even said that it was only because of his grandma that he had left his son with her?

If she had her facts right, Tyler's grandmother could only be Grandma Wang who had raised him. So it made sense… Ruolin's son was that boy Tyler had talked about?

"Miss Yun, if you don't believe me, let me show you a picture of my son." As though she had come prepared, Ruolin picked a photo from the side and held it against the screen.

On the photo was a lively five-to-six year old boy. He had Tyler's brown hair and most of his features. But now that she had already been told, she found that this little boy bore quite a resemblance to Ruolin! If one looked at his eyes, nose and his little mouth, there was no doubt that this was Ruolin's son!

The ex girlfriend Tyler had talked about before was Ruolin? But he said that he had never had anything to do with Ruolin! Or could it be that they were in some forbidden romance type of relationship and had to break up because people found out, but she was already pregnant?

Yun Xuan massaged her forehead. No matter what, she was not going to be swayed away from her husband by some ex girlfriend.

"I get it. He's Tyler's and your son; but so what? You are merely his ex girlfriend. What makes you think I will believe you?"

Ruolin had expected that sort of answer. She was indifferent as she said, "I think I should correct you. Tyler is not my ex boyfriend. He is my ex husband. Otherwise, do you think the agency would make us pretend to be a couple if we weren't one? Who would do that? Zhuo'an was a legitimate child but unfortunately, now my baby darling is suddenly a step child. Can you bear to see an innocent child being taken away from her mother? It breaks my heart."

"Did you call to tell me all about your past and your feelings towards my husband?" she had to admit that every word Ruolin said stung her but she couldn't admit defeat in front of her romantic rival.

Ruolin still didn't have a change in expression. That wasn't the worst part yet. She sighed and looked at the woman on her screen. "Tyler doesn't love you."

"That's none of your business." She knew that he did. She had seen it from his eyes.

"Yun Xuan, you are too naïve. Do you really think that the daughter of the man he hates most would move his heart? He is only pretending. You know, he wouldn't marry you even if he wanted to. Because his family would kill you."

Yun Xuan looked on with a scoff. He wouldn't marry her? He already did. I'm afraid the one who is dreaming and should wake up is you.

Ruolin still went ahead. "I think I should also tell you to stay away from my grandmother. She thinks you and I are friends. Do you know how difficult it is to deal with her every time she asks to see you?"

She saw Yun Xuan's widening eyes and her mouth twitched. "Oh, wait, you didn't think Tyler introduced you to her as his girlfriend, now did you?

Ha! I will tell you all about it. That man is a trickster. He purposefully let me take you to meet her the first time so she would mistake you for my friend. It was all part of his plan. You should henceforth stay away from my grandma, okay?"

Yun Xuan did not know what she was feeling anymore. He tricked her about this too? She really liked Grandma Wang. So she didn't even know that she was her granddaughter-in-law and thought that she was her granddaughter's friend?

Still, she did not admit defeat. "Tyler will introduce me as his wife then."

After saying that, she hung up before Ruolin could pull out her killer move.

However, she may have prevented Ruolin from telling her more negative things about Tyler but it didn't erase the lack of distrust that had just been planted in her heart.
