The Widow “Misses” Her Villainous Late Husband

Chapter 131

Yu Duo casually exchanged a few more perfunctory words with Fu Sinian’s uncle until they both heard the sound of a vehicle arriving from outside the villa.

A moment later, Fu Sinian strode in from outside. He looked the same as he always did, without anything particularly unusual.

Yu Duo stood up from the sofa and looked at Fu Sinian slightly uneasily. She nervously clasped her hands together behind her back.

Fu Sinian walked into the living room and stood there on his long legs, looking back at her. He looked impeccable as always, his shirt, tie, vest, trousers and black leather shoes were all meticulously clean and spotlessly arranged, and he had taken of his suit jacket and casually hung it over one of his arms.

“You… you’re back? ” Yu Duo had originally wanted to speak confidently and in a righteous tone, but what came out sounded a bit weak and guilty.

She didn’t know what she was feeling guilty about though.

“Your uncle came, he said he wanted to talk to you about something.”

Fu Sinian’s cold eyes were fixed on her face, but they eventually slid down to her lower abdomen and softened considerably.

On the side, uncle also stood up with the help of his cane and took a few trembling steps toward Fu Sinian with tearful eyes that were full of ‘love’, “Sinian, you’re back?”

It was only then that Fu Sinian turned his eyes and seemed to notice his uncle there. His brows furrowed lightly, but he still went over to the sofa, set his suit coat down, and sat down opposite of his uncle.

“Uncle, what a surprise to see you here today. What can I do for you?”

His expression and tone seemed the same as they always were, and Yu Duo, who was sitting beside Fu Sinian, really couldn’t guess what he was thinking at all.

Uncle seemed very gratified that Sinian had asked after him. Tears well in his eyes and he said, “I came here today mainly to see you. You were missing for a few months already, you must have suffered a lot outside, right?” He looked at Fu Sinian carefully before sighing and continuing, “I see you’ve lost a lot of weight. You need to take good care of yourself for the next while.”

Uncle’s face was kind and full of affection, to the point that people who didn’t know anything would really believe that there was deep affection between him and his nephew.

However, Fu Sinian didn’t seem to buy it. He wore his usual expression, cold and icy like someone owed him a million dollars.

“I see. Did uncle have anything else you wanted to say?”

His tone was so cold that even Yu Duo felt a bit embarrassed for this uncle.

Although Fu Sinian had never been particularly affectionate to his uncle in the past, he had always at least treated him as a relative, and had even regularly given him money. However, the coldness in his eyes now was very obvious, and it was only thanks to his uncle’s thick skin that he could still act calm like nothing was wrong.

“Actually, about last time Sinian, uncle always wanted to explain that matter to you. You should know your uncle’s character, I would never dare to covet your assets in my lifetime!” Uncle began to get worked up as he reached this point, “It was all because that woman, Qiao Jiao, deceived me! Only after the police explained everything to me did I realized that this whole matter was done by Qiao Jiao. Back then, she came to me and said that you had left 30% of your assets to me in your will and, of course I didn’t believe it at first, but then Qiao Jiao brought out a lawyer who showed me a lot of evidence saying that it was true and that the will was real. Sinian, you have to believe me, uncle was just deceived by Qiao Jiao! I never intended to scheme against you!”

“En, I know about this matter. Since you were deceived and didn’t know anything, we can just let it go,” Fu Sinian stood up and looked down at his uncle coldly. “If you have nothing else, you should go home. I’ll have someone see you out.”

His uncle immediately panicked, “Sinian, this… Your uncle still has a lot to say to you…”

“Uncle, it’s already late so I won’t keep you any further. Anyway, I just got back so I’ve been a little busy recently and I may not have much time to talk to you. If there isn’t anything big, it’s better for you not to come here,” Then he raised his voice. “Auntie Lian, come see the guest off.”

Auntie Lian quickly came out of the kitchen and said to Fu Sinian’s uncle with a smile, “I’ll see you off then sir.”

Fu Sinian’s uncle’s hands tightened on his cane. He had known that Fu Sinian probably wouldn’t give him much face even before he had come here, but he hadn’t expected that his nephew would just say a few words and dismiss him like this. But, in the end, although he was unwilling, he couldn’t do anything about it. However, as he got up and was getting ready to leave, he heard Aunt Lian say to Yu Duo, “Madam, I’ve finished preparing the nourishing soup the doctor prescribed. Go and drink some. This soup should be good for the child.”

“Child?” Fu Sinian’s uncle suddenly turned around and asked, “What child?”

Aunt Lian, who realized she had made a mistake, just pasted a business smile on her face and stood awkwardly to one side without saying anything further.

“Yu Duo is pregnant?” Fu Sinian’s uncle looked at Yu Duo’s flat belly uncertainly. Then he suddenly frowned and tightened his grip on his cane before slamming it firmly on the floor before saying, as if with great heartache: “Duoduo, didn’t you say that Sinian is infertile? Then that child…”

He pointed a trembling hand at Yu Duo’s belly and continued. “Sinian, from my experience, Yu Duo doesn’t look like a woman who has been pregnant for very long. You need to seriously investigate how many months old this child is! It could be that Yu Duo became pregnant during your disappearance!”

In the past, this accusation might have caused Yu Duo to fumble her words, but right now she already had an examination report from the hospital that definitively stated that she was three months pregnant, so she replied confidently, “Uncle, I’m three months pregnant!”

“Three months…”

The corners of Fu Sinian’s lips turned up a tiny bit and he nodded in affirmation, “That’s right. It’s three months.”

His uncle couldn’t help but ask, “Three months, really? Didn’t you say that Sinian was infertile and couldn’t father a child?”

Fu Sinian glanced over at Yu Duo.

Yu Duo avoided his eyes.

“I was cured.” Fu Sinian said flatly.

—————–

After seeing off his uncle, Yu Dou plucked up all of her courage and followed Fu Sinian upstairs to his study.

Fu Sinian’s face seemed the same as always, as if he was neither irritated by the arrival of his uncle, nor angry because Yu Duo had slandered him as infertile. However, in Yu Duo’s eyes, this abnormal calm was all the more terrifying.

“This… let me apologize to you first. In the past your uncle came to our door with someone called Ah Yu and said that she was pregnant with your child. In the heat of the moment, I lied and said that you were… infertile.” By the time she got to the word ‘infertile’ Yu Duo’s voice had gotten so quiet that even she herself could barely hear it.

“When my uncle said that woman was pregnant with my child, did you believe it?”

“…huh? What?” Yu Duo was briefly stunned, but after a pause she replied, “No… I didn’t believe it. “

“I’m glad that you have so much trust in me.” Fu Sinian walked over and hung up his suit jacket, took off his cufflinks, then fell silent for a moment. Eventually, he turned around and gave Yu Duo a deep look before walking towards her step by step.

“If I said that I don’t care who the baby in your belly belongs to, and I don’t care if your heart is with me or not, and that, from now on, you don’t have to pretend to be someone you’re not in front of me, and that I’m willing to get to know you, to respect you, to trust you, and let you do whatever you want. Would you still want to divorce me?”

As he spoke, Fu Sinian held up his phone in front of Yu Duo’s eyes.

On the screen was the text that Yu Duo had sent him. The message asking for a divorce.
