Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 618 - 598: Dare to Hit on His Own Wife!

However, Chu Yanhan hadn’t anticipated that reality could sometimes be even more powerful and cruel than he had imagined.

The ducal family he was about to take over was on the brink of collapse, and he could only rely on the support of other noble families to sustain it, not to mention Xuan Yu’s pregnancy from their affair...

The distance between the two countries was not too far, but this trip caused the two of them to waste half a lifetime.

The moment he married Xuan Yu, he knew he had lost the woman he loved.

Love, when extreme, turns into a demon.

He did something which made her hate him even more in the days to come—

He secretly returned to China, not mentioning his marriage, shared intimate and lingering moments with Xia Tingxuan, until he was compelled to return to his country.

Those were the happiest days of his life, and also the most tormenting.

It continued until Tingxuan learned the truth and, pregnant with his child, avoided him.

...

"Stop the car," Chu Yanhan’s deep and narrow eyes flickered.

Ambassador Qiu immediately ordered the driver to screech to a halt, "Mr. Chu, what can I do for you?"

Though Ambassador Qiu was a high-ranking official appointed by S Country to China, he was not of the same status as the noble Chu Family. Thus, he was very respectful and cautious in entertaining Chu Yanhan.

"Go to Green Island Garden," he had found out where Tingxuan was living when he arrived in China the previous night.

Ambassador Qiu understood and gestured for the driver to comply.

Twenty minutes later, the discreet yet status-bearing embassy car arrived at the entrance of Green Island Garden.

The security in such a high-end community was strict, outsiders couldn’t get in easily.

Looking through the car window at the well-kept environment inside the community, Chu Yanhan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Tingxuan’s life was relatively good.

He was well aware of who owned Green Island Garden; thinking this, he felt a slight easing of the resentment towards Huo Zhenyang.

At least this son-in-law, whom he didn’t like, ensured that his wife and daughter in China were materially without worries.

After the driver got out of the car, he spoke with the security guard for a moment.

The security guard called Xia Tingxuan.

During the wait of about ten minutes, Chu Yanhan felt his palms sweat.

Until finally, at the community entrance, the figure he hadn’t seen in four years appeared.

Xia Tingxuan, as a dance performer professionally, maintained a good physical condition and a calm mindset. Perhaps because of this, her body hadn’t changed much from her twenties, her skin was smooth as jade, and a slight plumpness only added to her femininity.

She always looked young, having lost the haggardness that came with being discharged from the asylum, and even seemed much younger than she did four years ago.

She seemed like the perpetual China girl in his memory.

Xia Tingxuan knew he would come to China to deal with their daughter’s matters and would likely look for her, so when she received a call from the property management about a Mr. Chu looking for her, she wasn’t surprised.

At the community entrance, her gaze fell on the embassy car.

The coffee-colored window rolled down, and the man inside had a clear and distinct profile.

After a hasty goodbye in S Country, and years of absence, he had lost much weight.

His frame was tall and well-built, and with the weight loss, he seemed much lonelier.

Ambassador Qiu, aware of their relationship, got into the car that followed behind to give them space.

The driver pulled open the car door and said to Xia Tingxuan, "Please."

Xia Tingxuan got in and asked, "Mr. Chu, what do you need to see me for?"

Chu Yanhan’s heart cooled a little, understanding that her coming downstairs to see him did not mean she had forgiven him, but rather that she did not regard him as an enemy.

He paused, "I went to the marriage registration office, I couldn’t stop the two from registering."

After a few seconds of silence, to Chu Yanhan’s surprise, Xia Tingxuan simply sighed lightly, "Perhaps, their marriage might not be a bad thing after all."

Chu Yanhan did not expect such a change in her, he was startled.

Xia Tingxuan spoke indifferently, "Occasionally, I think I’ve been so strict with Jiayi because, first, I feel guilty that when she most needed maternal love in her teens, I was locked in a place without sunlight. I don’t want her to suffer any harm from the outside world anymore, especially from men. Second, I’m always worried that what happened to me will happen to her as well, as a way to make up for my own regrets. Maybe that’s truly selfish of me. I don’t want to interfere in her life anymore. I understand now that she’s agreed to register with Mr. Huo mostly for Zaizai’s sake, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be happy. As someone who has been through it all, I can tell how much a man cares for a woman. I believe that Huo Zhenyang won’t mistreat her. So let her go out and pave her own way; life is hers. Regardless of her choices, I will support her."

Chu Yanhan couldn’t help but ask, "You can come to terms with your daughter’s marriage, so what about me... do you still hate me?"

Xia Tingxuan’s eyes were like a lake stirred by the wind, rippling slightly, "Mr. Chu, it’s been so long, I don’t want to live carrying a burden, it’s too tiring. Hate? It’s not that serious..."

Chu Yanhan was overjoyed. Had Tingxuan forgiven him?

Just as he was about to say something else, a horn sounded from behind the car.

A silver vintage car drove by slowly, clearly driven by a middle-aged man.

A middle-aged man who was still dashingly elegant and graceful as jade.

When Xia Tingxuan heard the honking, she looked back, pushed open the car door, and at the same time, let out the half-spoken words she had yet to say, "...I don’t hate you. But you are now just the biological father of my daughter. Thank you for coming to China. It’s been tough. I’m sorry. My friend has arrived, so I can’t stay and host you any longer."

With that, she stepped out of the car, slammed the door shut, and walked towards the following car, "Yongning."

Ye Yongning had also already exited his car, quietly waiting for her by the side of the road.

Watching the two walk side by side into Green Island Garden with smiles, something in Chu Yanhan’s heart seemed to be cut out, and with gritted teeth, he got out of the car and called out, "Wait a second!"

Ye Yongning and Xia Tingxuan halted their steps and turned to look at the man.

"Won’t you introduce me, Tingxuan?" Even without an introduction, Chu Yanhan knew who his rival in love was.

The international director Ye Yongning, always seen in magazines and on TV, who wouldn’t know of him?

He didn’t expect him to be wooing his own wife!

Pah!

Oh right, twenty years ago, before he returned to S Country, an accident landed him in the hospital. In order to raise money for his surgery, Tingxuan had taken on quite a few jobs outside, one of which seemed to be applying for a role in "Moonlight over the Harbor," directed by none other than Ye Yongning.

That’s when the two of them met, right?

After twenty years, this guy was still clinging to Tingxuan?

What a joke!

Chu Yanhan almost choked on his own blood.

The ambassador in the car behind watched anxiously, wiping his brow, wondering what Chu Yanhan was up to. It seemed he might want to have a showdown with Director Ye, didn’t it?

Fortunately, at that moment, Xia Tingxuan spoke up, "This is my friend, Director Ye Yongning."

Chu Yanhan’s jealous rage was burning fiercely, and without thinking, he blurted out, "Friend? That’s a very modest way of putting it."

Some friend, a man would be more like it!

Xia Tingxuan was taken aback by his still domineering and unreasonable manner, her face flushed slightly with anger, "What do you mean by that?"
