31: Chapter 31: Confronting Jian Si, Ex-Husband Loses Control 31: Chapter 31: Confronting Jian Si, Ex-Husband Loses Control Afraid that someone might target Lu Yanbai again, Jian Si arrived back at Yuting Mansion before dinner.
Lu Yanbai was sulking at the dinner table, his arms crossed and his little lips pouted high.
Lu Youting’s expression was gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood as well.
Neither father nor son acknowledged the other, just staring down one another, the air ripe with tension.
“I want to find Mommy.”
“Your Mommy has her own things to do, she can’t be with you 24 hours a day, you can’t selfishly keep her tied to you forever.”
Lu Yanbai wouldn’t listen, relentless, “No, I want Mommy.”
Lu Youting’s temples throbbed visibly, and he squeezed out three words through his clenched teeth: “Lu—Yan—bai—”
Unfortunately, his words held no deterrence for Lu Yanbai.
“If you won’t let me send a video to Mommy, I won’t eat, and if you can bear it, just let me starve!”
A dark storm seemed to spread across Lu Youting’s eyes, chilling the surrounding air.
Watching the father and son at odds, Jian Si shook her head helplessly and sat down next to Lu Yanbai, “Xiao Bai, you’re already four years old, you need to be good and stop arguing with Daddy.”
Seeing her finally back, Lu Yanbai excitedly hugged her neck and planted a firm kiss on her face.
“Mommy, you’re back!
I missed you so much.”
Jian Si smiled, “I missed you too!”
Lu Youting cast her a brief, indifferent glance, picked up his utensils, and began eating deliberately, his voice tinged with sarcasm, “Back so soon?
Didn’t stay to chat a bit longer?”
He stubbornly thought Jian Si had just gone to meet Ah Che.
A sour feeling inexplicably flooded his heart.
Jian Si ignored him.
Lu Youting felt as if his chest was stuffed with cotton, his breath neither able to rise nor fall.
Oblivious to his discontent, Jian Si picked up her chopsticks, tested each dish on the table to make sure there was no honey in them, and then served some to Lu Yanbai.
“Quick, eat up!
Sleep early tonight, I’ll take you to the amusement park tomorrow.”
Upon hearing her words, Lu Yanbai’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“You’re really taking me to the amusement park tomorrow?
Is Daddy coming with us?”
Jian Si didn’t even look at Lu Youting and answered without hesitation, “He’s not going, it’ll be just you and me.”
Lu Youting: “??”
Lu Yanbai’s lips pouted, his face filled with disappointment, “I’ve never been to the amusement park with Daddy, I want to go with him.”
“I…” Lu Youting was about to agree when Jian Si interrupted him, “He’s busy, he doesn’t have time!
We’ll ask him to take you next time.”
With that said, although Lu Yanbai was still unhappy, he had no choice but to accept.
Thus arranged by Jian Si, Lu Youting: “…”
Jian Si urged, “Then you should eat quickly, Mommy will introduce you to new friends tomorrow.”
Lu Youting instantly became alarmed, “Who?”
Jian Si glared at him, “It’s none of your business.”
Lu Youting’s temples throbbed painfully, and his molars ground together, wishing he could strangle the woman in front of him.
That evening, after Jian Si put Lu Yanbai to sleep, she took a USB drive to find Lu Youting, but unexpectedly came across Lu Ya, who was reporting for work.
Lu Ya paused.
Jian Si decided to leave first and return after they were done, but Lu Youting stopped her.
“Keep talking, there’s no need to hide it from her.”
Lu Ya continued reporting, “All the servants in the house have been thoroughly investigated.
They have clean backgrounds, no bad associations, no recent unusual financial activities, and their actions are not suspicious.”
Lu Youting, with a steely face, turned to Jian Si, “What do you think?”
Jian Si handed the USB drive to Lu Youting.
Lu Youting inserted the USB into the computer, and after seeing the contents, his whole body was covered with a layer of ice, chilling to the bone.
“It’s actually her.”
Lu Ya couldn’t believe that the person who harmed Lu Yanbai was someone they trusted the most.
Jian Si said to Lu Ya, “Go investigate her household registration, her recent whereabouts, and all her relatives.
I don’t believe she did this willingly; there must be something hidden.”
Although her personal feelings were involved, she trusted her instincts.
Lu Ya hesitantly looked at Lu Youting, and after seeing Lu Youting nod, he turned and left.
Lu Youting’s unfathomable eyes stared intensely at the video.
Suddenly, he spoke in a deep voice, “Wasn’t the kitchen surveillance broken?
How did you manage to get this?”
Jian Si’s breathing hitched.
It was bad.
She had been exposed.
In her zeal to find the mastermind, she had forgotten such a crucial detail as the broken surveillance.
Jian Si tried to remain calm, showing no signs of guilt, “I specifically paid a professional technician to retrieve it.”
Lu Youting stood up, approached her, his long fingers grasping her chin slightly with a dark force, forcing her to tilt her head up, his pitch-black eyes unblinkingly staring into hers.
“Do you really think I’m easy to fool?
Tell me, is it ‘C’?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?
Who is C?
I don’t know them!
Let me go now,” Jian Si shook her head, trying to shake off his grip, but he held her even tighter.
“Shen Qing is the top programmer in the world, and even he couldn’t do it, so who did?
Take me to that person; the Lu Family loves to recruit talents.”
Lu Youting’s voice was husky and sexy, laced with lethal danger.
Jian Si hated his overbearing confidence as if everything was under his control.
She slapped his hand away, “Do you think everyone likes going to the Lu Family?
And, why should I answer just because you asked?
Who do you think you are?
I’ve said what needs to be said; I’m going back to my room to rest.”
With that said, she turned to leave.
Lu Youting grabbed her wrists with both hands, ruthlessly pinning them to the sides of her head and pressed her against the wall like an enraged lion.
“Jian Si, don’t think that just because you’re Xiao Bai’s biological mother, you can provoke me time and again, my patience has limits.”
Jian Si mockingly laughed, the more he pressed, the more rebellious she became, “I won’t say, what can you do to me?”
Lu Youting gazed at her face, his eyes twinkling dangerously, “Really not going to say?”
“Not saying!” Jian Si replied firmly and decisively.
Seeing her triumphant little face, Lu Youting sinisterly curved his lips upward.
Jian Si’s breath hitched, a bad premonition just sprouting in her mind when Lu Youting leaned down, fiercely kissed her lips, the kiss was not gentle, and carried a punishing intent.
Jian Si’s breath was swallowed up, and after a short stunned moment, she began to struggle desperately.
Lu Youting let her go, looking down on her from a height, “Will you speak now?”
Jian Si was so frustrated her chest heaved violently, “Lu Youting, you are despicable!”
Lu Youting did not waste further words; he lowered his head again and fiercely kissed her lips once more, “Will you speak now?”
Jian Si was infuriated, “Not saying, not saying, just not saying; you think you can coerce me into submission, I’m telling you, it’s impossible…”
Lu Youting kissed her lips again, “Going to speak now?”
Never having encountered such a shameless person before, Jian Si burst out, “I won’t say, even if you kiss me to death, I won’t say.
It’s just a kiss; who’s afraid of who?
It’s not like I haven’t been kissed before.”
No sooner had her words fallen, Lu Youting kissed her again.
This time, it wasn’t a fleeting touch; this kiss was prolonged and filled with aggression, as if intending to devour her whole, sparing no room even for her to breathe.
Jian Si was kissed until her brain was oxygen-deprived, losing the ability to think, her body gradually losing strength.
The sweet fragrance of a young girl filled his nostrils.
Lu Youting’s breathing grew heavy, gradually losing himself, one hand imprisoning her hands above her head, the other laying across her waist, his large palm audaciously wandering on her back, probing towards her sensitive spots—
What do you think?
