After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 397 - 395: Can He Give Birth?
Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Can He Give Birth?
"Finding someone you know well is certainly good, but I really don’t need to get involved with someone like you," Xia Wenyan refused without a second thought.
Avril was someone he’d rather avoid at all costs; he wasn’t crazy enough to marry her and bring her home.
Besides, others look for someone well-known to avoid trouble, not to knowingly walk into a minefield.
Avril clenched her fist, "Xia Wenyan, you better not be too sure of yourself! You’ve touched me before, and if your uncle and aunt found out, you would have to take responsibility for me eventually!"
Xia Wenyan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, "Avril, are you sick? When have I ever laid a finger on you?"
Thinking of this, he tugged at Brother Pei Huai next to him and hastily explained, "Brother Pei, I didn’t, you have to believe me!"
Xia Wenyan felt as if his lifetime of reputation was about to be wrongly tarnished.
Was Avril some kind of mad dog?
When had he ever laid a hand on her?
Avril sneered, "What’s the use if he believes you? As long as your uncle and aunt know, do you think you can hide? So I advise you to talk it out with me properly, or else... don’t blame me."
Her oath-like manner made Lu Zhaozhao also start to care about the matter.
She looked at Avril and said slowly, "Avril, you can mess with anything but not your words. My Fourth Brother would never lay a finger on you."
"Why would you say that? You’ve only been in the Xia Family for a few days. Do you understand Xia Wenyan?" Avril scoffed at Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes, "I don’t know about other things, but at least I know my Fourth Brother is a face-connoisseur; with your looks, he won’t spare you a glance, let alone touch you."
One should understand their own worth, not be completely clueless.
Although Avril had blond hair and blue eyes, she didn’t possess the beauty of foreign women; she could only be described as lovely at best, or even plain.
Xia Wenyan already had someone exceptional like Brother Pei Huai by his side, and everyone in the Xia Family was strikingly attractive—there was no reason to marry someone who would lower the family’s standard of beauty.
Avril was clearly provoked by Lu Zhaozhao’s words, giving her a fierce glare, "Don’t think you can dissuade me with just a few words; I’m telling you, I’m set on marrying Xia Wenyan!"
Brother Pei Huai’s expression immediately darkened.
He had always found Avril quite disagreeable, but the Xia Family had sent her away, so he didn’t pursue the matter.
But now that she had come back looking for trouble on her own, she could not blame anyone else.
Xia Wenyan could only be his, and no one was allowed to compete with him!
The things he regretted in his past life, he definitely would not repeat in this one, nor would he give anyone the chance to snatch Xia Wenyan away from him!
"He..."
"I like men! You have no chance!" Before Pei Huai could speak, Xia Wenyan grabbed Pei Huai’s hand, interlocked their fingers, and raised them towards Avril, "Our love is true; I could never marry you."
The atmosphere in the hospital room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Zhaozhao hadn’t expected her Fourth Brother to come out publicly, especially because of Avril. Although it was somewhat impulsive, it seemed Xia Wenyan might have had a bit of an epiphany.
Her eyelids lifted as she caught sight of Pei Huai standing stupefied, clearly the one most impacted by Xia Wenyan’s sudden declaration.
What could possibly compare to being unexpectedly told "I like you" by the person you love to the core of your bones?
Especially for two people who had loved in vain and suffered separation by death in their past lives.
Several people were the first to react, and Avril was among them.
She hesitated for only a moment before coming up with another plan, "So what if you like men? You’re a descendant of the Xia Family, and you need to have an heir, right? Can he give you one?"
"..."
Well, that’s something.
Zhaozhao was stunned by Avril.
She truly had no taboos.
Even after Wen Yan had spoken his piece, anyone with a bit of shame would’ve stopped, but she found another way?
Seeing that no one else spoke up, Avril thought they had been convinced by her words, and she looked at Wen Yan and Pei Huai with obvious pride in her eyes.
"I just said this is something we can discuss properly. Marrying me would be good for you... Eh?"
Before she could finish, Pei Huai, in a fit of irritation, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her out of the ward, then threw her out with force.
"Get her out of here," Pei Huai signaled to the two "bodyguards" by the door with a look.
The two immediately understood, covered Avril’s mouth, and dragged her away without delay.
The whole incident was so sudden that even Xia Wenyan hadn’t reacted.
By the time he regained his senses, Avril had already been thrown out by Pei Huai.
"Brother Pei, she..."
Pei Huai glanced at Xia Wenyan, his tone carrying a hint of chill, "What? You’re worried about her?"
Xia Wenyan suddenly shivered, "Worried about her? I should be worrying about myself! You didn’t see the way she was looking at me, like I was already a piece of meat in her bowl, ready to be bitten into any minute, it was terrifying!"
"..."
"..."
Although that description was a bit... emmm, he wasn’t wrong.
Avril did indeed see him as a piece of fat meat, ready to bite down at any time.
Luckily, Pei Huai didn’t hesitate and threw her out, otherwise Xia Wenyan would have been at a disadvantage if he was alone.
After all, not everyone is as thick-skinned as Avril.
If Xia Wenyan really got entangled by her, it would be quite troublesome.
Avril’s family did have a good relationship with the Xia Family, so if Avril really slandered Xia Wenyan, Lu Zhaozhao was genuinely worried about Xia Wenyan’s situation.
Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao’s worried gaze shifted from Xia Wenyan to Pei Huai.
She’d better leave this to Pei Huai, as she had no hope for her fourth brother.
Pei Huai, of course, noticed Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze and slightly furrowed his brow; nodding at her, he finally spoke up, "Today’s situation is a bit special, I need to take Yanyan back to discuss what to do next, so we won’t stay here much longer."
"Okay," Lu Zhaozhao nodded, "I’ll explain things to my parents, don’t worry."
Hearing this, Xia Wenyan immediately looked relieved and went to hug Lu Zhaozhao, "My sister is the best, not like those flamboyant temptresses out there. Come here, let big brother give you a hug, eh? Eh? EH?!!"
As he spread his arms, Pei Huai immediately grabbed him around the waist and dragged him away right in front of Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao almost laughed at Pei Huai’s smooth operation.
It seemed like Avril’s actions had hit all the wrong buttons for Pei Huai.
That he’s still keeping his temper is impressive, and it only goes to show how deeply he loves his fourth brother, tsk tsk...
