Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

25: Chapter 25 I am so glad that I divorced you back then 25: Chapter 25 I am so glad that I divorced you back then Lu Youting’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

Ah Che?

The Ah Che that Jian Si dreamed about calling out?

As this thought flashed through her mind, Jian Si woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked up her phone, and decisively accepted Ji Mingche’s friend request.

Ji Mingche immediately sent a message: “So late and you haven’t rested yet?”

Jian Si: “Yeah!

What about you, why haven’t you rested yet?”

Ji Mingche: “I was away on a business trip these past few days, not in Jiangcheng.

I just got off the plane.

When are you free?

Let’s set a time to have a meal?”

Jian Si didn’t hesitate to agree: “Sure!

When are you generally free?”

Ji Mingche: “I’ll be in Jiangcheng recently, anytime you want to meet, I can make it!”

Jian Si sent a shy emoji.

On the side, Lu Youting, who was openly watching their chat: “…??”

Jian Si: “Okay, I’ll message you once I arrange the things at hand.”

Ji Mingche: “OK!

It’s late, rest early, getting up early is good for the skin.”

Jian Si: “You too!”

Ji Mingche: “Good night!”

Jian Si: “Good night!”

Watching the two reluctantly say goodnight, Lu Youting pursed his lips, his handsome face expressionless, his heroic brow engulfed by a cold frost.

Engrossed in the chat, Jian Si was completely unaware of Lu Youting behind her until a chilling shadow loomed over, and only then did she suddenly turn around, meeting Lu Youting’s icy, bone-chilling gaze, startling her.

“You, when did you start standing there?”

Lu Youting smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes: “Just in time to see the entirety of your chat.”

His tone was weird and sour.

Jian Si immediately frowned: “Ever heard of privacy?”

“I haven’t!” Lu Youting still smiled, but his cold eyes seemed to freeze over, the chill emanating from his gaze.

Seeing such childish behavior from Lu Youting for the first time, Jian Si paused, forgetting to be angry, her face full of surprise.

Annoyed by his own abnormal behavior, Lu Youting stormed off in a huff.

Jian Si checked her phone.

It was already 1 AM.

She hadn’t eaten dinner and was now feeling a bit hungry.

Seeing Lu Yanbai sound asleep, she tiptoed from the floor and headed downstairs to find something to eat.

After a search, she found some meat and noodles in the refrigerator.

She cut the meat into strips, fried it, and poured it over the noodles after they were cooked, finally topping it with a fried egg, her aromatic bowl of meat noodles was ready.

The kitchen was fragrant, mouthwateringly so.

Just as Jian Si was carrying the noodles out of the kitchen, she got startled by Lu Youting, who had been sitting at the dining table without her knowing.

“What are you doing?

Suddenly appearing like a ghost, you almost scared me to death.”

Without a blush or a heartbeat, Lu Youting said: “I want to eat too.”

“No way, if you want some, make it yourself!” Jian Si quickly refused and deliberately sat next to him, fanning the aroma of the noodles toward her nose, closing her eyes, enjoying: “Smells so good!”

Had it been before, Lu Youting definitely wouldn’t have been tempted.

But having tasted her stew before, he had no doubts about the truthfulness in her words.

As Jian Si was about to start eating, he reached out and moved the bowl of noodles in front of himself, starting to eat.

“…??” Jian Si was left speechless by his brazen move: “Lu Youting, those are my noodles, have you no shame?”

Shamelessly, Lu Youting responded: “Eating your food is my privilege.”

“Heh heh…” Jian Si chuckled dryly, “thanks a lot!

Thanks to your whole family!”

Upon saying that, she realized it wasn’t quite right, glared at him fiercely, stood up, and returned to the kitchen to prepare another bowl for herself.

“Add more, this isn’t enough.”

Was he treating her like a servant?

Jian Si laughed angrily.

“I’m not a chef, go find your family’s cook if you’re hungry.”

“I don’t like what they make!”

His implication was that enjoying the noodles she cooked was a privilege for her, and she should be grateful.

Jian Si was so livid she almost had a heart attack.

“Director Lu, please understand, I’m not your servant, nor am I obliged to serve you.”

Lu Youting declared confidently, “But you are using our ingredients.

I provide the ingredients, you provide the effort, and we are even.”

“…??”

Jian Si was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing her not moving, Lu Youting grew impatient, “Hurry up, I’m almost done eating.”

Jian Si was so angry she gritted her teeth.

She wanted to storm off with dignity, but her stomach kept embarrassingly rumbling.

After weighing her options, she gritted her teeth and prepared another bowl for Lu Youting.

Lu Youting seemed in a good mood, not sparing any praise as he ate, “Your cooking has improved a lot in the past five years, even better than many five-star chefs.”

No wonder even Xiao Bai could savor something as simple as stir-fried cucumbers.

Jian Si said self-deprecatingly, “My skills haven’t changed, yours have.”

Back when she had married Lu Youting, he was in poor health, so she went to learn how to cook and take care of his well-being especially for him.

Unfortunately, her efforts were never appreciated by Lu Youting.

His heart was only set on Ye Qingqing.

In these five years, her culinary skills hadn’t changed, but the hearts of those who ate her meals had.

“Is that so?” Lu Youting paused his eating, his dark eyes flickering with some indecipherable meaning.

Remembering the stir-fried cucumber, he suddenly wanted to taste it again, “Make stir-fried cucumber tomorrow!

The same one you made for Xiao Bai in the hospital!

And also tomato fried eggs, native chicken soup, corn stir-fried with shrimp.”

Jian Si slammed her chopsticks down on the table in anger, “Do you really think I’m your chef?”

Lu Youting took on a business-like tone, “I can pay you.”

Jian Si held her head high with pride, “I can make my own money, I don’t need it!”

Lu Youting stopped eating, eyeing her provocatively, “The money you earn is also given by me.”

Jian Si defiantly responded, “I earned it through my own abilities.”

Lu Youting sneered with a mocking face, “This is also earned through your abilities!

They’re the same.”

His harsh words pierced Jian Si’s heart like a dagger, one stab at a time.

She froze, her eyes gradually dimming, the light in her eyes seemed to extinguish, a sense of despair enveloped her from inside out.

If it weren’t for Xiao Bai, she really wouldn’t want to stay here for another second.

Her strong pride made it intolerable to bear such humiliation, and she stubbornly said, “Now I’m actually glad that I divorced you back then!”

With that, she stood up and left without looking back.

Watching her leaving figure, Lu Youting felt as if his blood had rushed to his head, his heart as though sharply stabbed by a knife, leaving him nearly breathless, the noodles in his mouth suddenly tasteless.

He slowly put down his chopsticks, filled with regret.

Although those hadn’t been his true feelings just moments ago, thinking about her sweet interaction with Ah Che, hurtful words had inadvertently slipped out.

Now, he deeply regretted it.
