CEO Daddy Begs Mommy for Remarriage

Wen Zhan had just stretched his legs into the covers when he heard her, his face turned icy in an instant, and he shifted his gaze to the back of her head, "Why should I go to another room?"

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to drive you away, I just think you don't need to force yourself, or... I can go sleep in the guest room too."

Mu Wanqing stood in his shoes and felt rather pitiful for him; the woman he liked had married his good brother, and he was forced to start a family with a woman he didn't love, sharing a bed with her every day—it must be like having nightmares whenever he tried to sleep.

As her words faded away, she sat up, preparing to get out of bed, but after shifting just a bit, she heard a cold voice from behind her, "Who is that man? How do you know him?"

"Huh?" The abrupt question surprised Mu Wanqing, and she turned around, her beautiful almond eyes widened, "What man? What are you talking about?"

Wen Zhan's thin lips curled up in a cold, mocking sneer, "Why keep pretending? Suddenly making a fuss about divorce, wanting to sleep in separate rooms, is it not because you have someone else in your heart?"

"I..." Mu Wanqing's eyes widened even further, her mouth opened and then shut, at a loss for words, and only after a moment did she manage to speak, "The reason I asked for a divorce is because... you, you and Lu Kejun..."

"She's already married; it has nothing to do with me."

"Hah!" Mu Wanqing found it too ludicrous, suddenly letting go and mimicking his tone, "Why keep pretending? The way you look at her, it's as if your gaze could slice through laser beams, and yet you say it has nothing to do with you?"

Wen Zhan's expression was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Mu Wanqing moved her body, turning to face him, "I just thought you were suffering in this marriage and wanted to set you free sooner; if you don't appreciate it, that's fine, but then you spout nonsense and slander me!"

Every time they confronted each other, Mu Wanqing would start off cautiously and fearfully, but once provoked, she would become sharp-tongued and fully combative.

Wen Zhan had noticed this too.

It seemed as though she housed two different personalities within her.

Gentle and obedient, serene and elegant was just a facade.

In reality, she was resolute and clear-headed, even her retorts were unique, never showing timidity.

Compared to the first persona, akin to a ceramic doll enclosed in a box on display, he inexplicably found the second personality more attractive.

Vibrant, smart, brave, and even a bit brash, as if she was ready to leap up and fight someone at any moment.

Wen Zhan watched her intently, taking a serious look at her face for the first time.

She had beautiful features, a full forehead, thick brows and big eyes, a straight nose, and red lips with white teeth.

Not the currently popular delicate pointed face, but rather the kind of dignified and majestic beauty traditional aesthetics cherished, giving off an aura of peace and prosperity, incredibly pleasing to the eye.

When he first met her, her upbringing wasn't favorable, and she carried a hint of earthiness about her.

Now, having been nourished in wealth and splendor for years, her skin had become fairer, her temperament elevated; even without makeup, her natural beauty was stunning.

Wen Zhan thought to himself, if only she weren't so two-faced, so cunning and calculated, he would be willing to make an effort for the sake of their children and try to make it work with her.

Kejun thought he had to convince himself to accept her, but it turned out she proposed the divorce first.

It was as if staying in this home was unbearable for her.

How ungrateful!

Mu Wanqing, seeing him staring fixedly at her, a look completely different from the usual disdain in his eyes, suddenly felt nervous and apprehensive.

"What... why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, lacking confidence.

Wen Zhan's brows slightly furrowed as he snapped out of his reverie, pulling the blanket over him, preparing to lie down, "It's nothing, I just don't believe you're so kind-hearted. I'm afraid it's another trap."

"I..." Mu Wanqing was fuming, planning to have a proper confrontation with him tonight, "Be clear with your words, when have I ever set a trap for you? Accusations require evidence!"

The angrier she got, the more provoked Wen Zhan felt inside, but his expression remained indifferent, showing neither pleasure nor anger.

He lay down and said, unhurriedly, "The evidence is in your arms every day, do I still need to present it?"

"..." The woman clenched her teeth, she knew it was still about that same issue!

After a pause, she sat up straight, raised her right hand, and with a serious face and a mocking tone, she declared, "Mr. Wen, I swear to heaven that after that night, I really did take emergency contraception the next day. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"

Wen Zhan opened his eyes, though lying down and at a disadvantageous position, his haughty and indifferent demeanor still towered above, "If swearing did any good, Thunder God and Lightning Mother would be dead from overwork."

"..." Mu Wanqing felt so angry she could barely breathe.

The man continued methodically, "Actually, if you honestly admitted it, I would accept it. At my age, it's time to be a father anyway—I despise the fact that you obviously did it and still..."

"I didn't! Why admit something I didn't do? Even doctors say that no contraceptive method is 100% effective, and I am that exception!" Mu Wanqing interrupted him rudely, defending herself again.

Wen Zhan looked at her with a probing gaze, intrigued by her righteous indignation. He sat up in bed, resting against the headboard, and asked coolly, "The doctor said that if you took emergency contraception, you are advised not to keep the child due to the risk of malformation—but you insisted on keeping the child. Doesn't that prove you never took the pill? Otherwise, why would you take the risk of having a possibly deformed child? What were you after?"

Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, "When I found out about the pregnancy, my first thought was abortion, cruel as it was, but I couldn't take the risk. However, during the examination, the doctor said it was a twin pregnancy."

Looking into the man's deep, dark eyes, she asked forcefully, "Twins, two lives! Who could bear to abort them? I thought with today's medical technology, I could take a chance, and if later checks showed problems with the fetuses, it wasn't too late to induce labor. If there were no problems, all the better. And as it turned out, I was right!"

The man's lips moved slightly as he was about to speak, but she cut him off again, "Besides, you are the one who made the mistake, why should I suffer the consequences? Do you think abortion isn't harmful? What if something goes wrong, and I can't have children for the rest of my life? Now that the children are born safe and sound, I've become a mother, the most important thing in my life is complete, and I am grateful for my persistence back then. Even if I'm wronged and slandered by you, I don't regret that decision!"

Having said her piece forcefully, Mu Wanqing got up from the bed, "I think it's better that we keep our distance. If I keep getting angry like this, I'll lose my milk!"

She got out of bed and walked around the foot of the bed. Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned around to look at the man, "By the way, I didn't take emergency contraception this time. It's harmful to the body, and I'm breastfeeding; I can't risk my children's health for a joke."

Wen Zhan frowned, now recalling a very important matter.

Looking at the woman with a pale, iron face, for the first time, he said something with an uncertain tone, "You... you won't get pregnant again now, will you?"
