My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!-Chapter 495: Obedience

Fu Chenlie also laughed.

After laughing, he spoke good-naturedly: "Of course I don’t want anything to happen, I just want Madam to know that I’m innocent." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Oh." She responded casually.

Perhaps fearing she wouldn’t believe him, the man continued to elaborate slowly, "I told her that if she continued like this, I wouldn’t bother with her matters anymore. I also reminded her that even when seriously ill, as long as one is alive, they are bound by law and morality and cannot break the law or become entangled with a married man."

Wen Ran didn’t expect Fu Chenlie to have such a knack for lecturing.

She looked at him leisurely, "Did you really say that?"

"Of course."

As soon as the two words fell, he countered, "Do I need to lie to you?"

The limited space in the car meant Wen Ran was very close to him, clearly able to see every pore on the man’s face.

At this moment, hearing him say "Do I need to lie to you" made her suddenly think—

Fu Chenlie is truly arrogant.

He doesn’t need to lie to her, nor does he deign to lie to her.

He has always been upright. The person who needs him to lie probably hasn’t been born yet.

Wen Ran knows that people should be humble, but she inexplicably likes this wild streak in Fu Chenlie.

She knows he has enough confidence and backing to dare speak so boldly.

She thinks he’s amazing.

Wen Ran smiled, took his arm, and rested her head on his shoulder, "Hubby, you’re wonderful."

"Why?"

"I originally thought you would do whatever your ex-lover says and might even divorce me for her, but I didn’t expect you to have such principles in front of her. I suddenly feel much more at ease."

Fu Chenlie raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, "When did I ever give you the illusion that I would do whatever she says?"

"You looked for her for two years, isn’t that enough?"

"Madam doesn’t seem to understand why I looked for her for two years."

She looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Fu Chenlie chuckled lightly.

While playing with her soft hands, he spoke in a deep voice, "The reason I searched for her for two years was to determine whether Grandma forced her away back then, or if she left on her own accord."

"Is there a difference?"

"If Grandma forced her away, then I was at fault in that relationship, and I would need to compensate her. But if she left on her own, regardless of the reason, it was her choice, and I did nothing wrong, nor do I owe her any guilt."

Listening to Fu Chenlie’s explanation, Wen Ran suddenly felt very happy.

She was so happy that her eyes looked at him with admiration.

At this moment, she felt like she could love and like him more freely than ever before.

All along, Wen Ran assumed that Fu Chenlie searched for Jiang Wan Ning for two years because he loved her too much, hoping desperately that she would come back to him.

It wasn’t until today, when Fu Chenlie cleared it up, that she realized she had misunderstood from the start.

She quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at the man, questioning, "Even now, knowing that she left on her own, but it was because she was sick, will you not change your original thoughts?"

"I just said, no matter the reason, as long as she left voluntarily, the responsibility for the end of that relationship doesn’t lie with me."

Thereupon, Fu Chenlie raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Does Madam not feel the same?"

The latter answered without hesitation, "Of course I do."

Wen Ran laughed, extremely joyful.

She thought, ah, Fu Chenlie certainly has a clear head.

With him being so clear and smart, she felt she’ll never have to worry about Jiang Wan Ning coaxing him away from her side again.

Unless he willingly agrees, there are probably very few women in this world who could fool him.
