Lu Tianyang suddenly grabbed her hand. "Why are you all dirty? I’ve been trying to call you, and you didn’t answer. I was about to lose my mind, do you know that?"
Hearing his anxious tone, Ye Ya's anger subsided a little. "Aren't you the one who suspected I was fooling around with Long Shaotang? Why do you care about me now?"
"I must be crazy. I know you wouldn't do that. But seeing you in his car made me furious. Come on, wife, hurry up and take a shower. You smell a bit like him, and I don’t like it." Lu Tianyang felt both angry and anxious.
"If you think I'm dirty, then don’t touch me! Lu Tianyang, you jerk, big jerk!" Ye Ya shook off his hand. After being locked up in the detention center for a night, how could she not be dirty?
"No, wife, that's not what I meant. How could I ever dislike you?" After saying this, Lu Tianyang pulled her into an embrace, disregarding the dirt.
"Chen Chen was taken away by your grandfather and they wouldn’t let me see him. They treated me like a thief and sent me to the police station. I hate you!" As she spoke, Ye Ya couldn't help but hit his shoulder hard, venting her frustration on him. If she couldn't blame him, who else could she blame?
"What do you mean they sent you to the police station?" Hearing her words ignited a fire of anger within Lu Tianyang. He could understand the old man's desire to see his grandson, but how could they treat her like a thief?
"Do you think I’m lying? They took my phone away! If Long Shaotang hadn't come to bail out his brother today and found me there, I'd still be stuck in the police station!" While speaking, Ye Ya kicked him with her foot. "Forget it if you don't believe me; no matter what I say, you won't trust me."
"Wife, I'm sorry you've been wronged. It's all over now; your husband is back. Go take a shower first, and I'll go bring Chen Chen back soon." Lu Tianyang noticed her face was dirty and gently kissed her forehead.
Ye Ya looked at him; his eyes were dark circles from lack of sleep. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back? Didn't you say things weren't settled yet?"
"I couldn’t get through to you and couldn’t relax. As soon as the contract was signed, I flew back. Luckily, I'm here now. Don't be angry; just go wash up." Lu Tianyang hadn’t expected that such things would happen in just two days of being away.
They disliked her the most; she was his legal wife after all. How could they treat her like this? What did that make him?
Ye Ya nodded. She knew this wasn’t entirely Lu Tianyang’s fault. But he was back now; at least he could bring Chen Chen home. That woman Fu Wan Jing still didn’t know how to deal with her daughter.
After Ye Ya walked into the bathroom, Lu Tianyang rubbed his temples. With him gone, their safety had become an issue; they were family after all. He needed to make it clear that Ye Ya was not someone others could trample on easily.
After changing her clothes, Ye Ya felt her mind clear of all thoughts; she just wanted to quickly bring Chen Chen back.
“Lu Tianyang, we need to hurry and get Chen Chen. Fu Wan Jing is at your house, staying in your room. I’m telling you, I will never stay in that room again. I can’t even imagine how she might mistreat Chen Chen,” Ye Ya said, unable to fathom sharing a bed with Fu Wan Jing.
“Wife, that won’t happen. How could Wan Jing possibly mistreat Chen Chen? Don’t worry; we’ll go get the child right now. Grandpa and the others must be missing Chen Chen; it shows they love him too,” Lu Tianyang reassured her.
Hearing Lu Tianyang defend Fu Wan Jing made Ye Ya unhappy. “What do you mean she won’t? Let me tell you, Lu Tianyang, my child will absolutely not let Fu Wan Jing be his stepmother. Don’t even think about it.” She was well aware of the Lu family's intentions; she wasn’t blind.
“That’s nonsense! There’s only you as his real mother,” Lu Tianyang quickly corrected her, fearing she might overthink it. He understood Grandpa’s feelings; Wan Jing was the most cherished granddaughter of Fu Ye Ye, who had saved Grandpa’s life in the past. Sometimes, he felt that Grandpa cared for her even more than for his own grandson.
Ye Ya wanted to believe him, but given the Lu family's attitude, she couldn’t help but worry. What if one day Lu Tianyang thought Fu Wan Jing was better and decided to divorce her? It was a possibility—after all, they were from different backgrounds.
Having grown up in such an environment, she always preferred to prepare for the worst-case scenario so that when things happened, she wouldn’t feel so helpless.
Seeing Ye Ya's expression, Lu Tianyang knew she was losing confidence again. Despite her calm demeanor in tough situations, when it came to emotions, she was like a snail—any little disturbance made her want to retreat.
Yet he had to admit that this woman was sometimes incredibly strong. She believed she could live independently without relying on anyone else, but Lu Tianyang wanted her to lean on him.
He held her shoulders firmly. “Wife, you need to have faith in me.”
“Okay, let’s go get Chen Chen first. I’m not stopping Grandpa and the others from seeing him, but I absolutely cannot let Fu Wan Jing take care of him.” This was Ye Ya’s biggest concession; they were Chen Chen’s family, but she was his mother.
Upon arriving at the Lu family home, they heard Chen Chen crying even before entering. The sound seemed hoarse; the little one probably recognized people and had likely not slept well through the night.
Walking into the living room, they saw Fu Wan Jing holding Chen Chen. Ye Ya immediately went over and took him back into her arms. This time with Lu Tianyang present, Fu Wan Jing didn’t dare refuse to return the child to Ye Ya.
This troublesome girl kept her up all night, and Fu Wan Jing was so annoyed that she felt like giving her a slap.
"Sweetheart, Mommy's here, don't cry." As if that would work! She had just started weaning and was suddenly brought here.
Ye Ya coaxed for a while, and finally, the little one stopped crying. Tears still hung on her eyelashes, making her look pitiful, which broke Ye Ya's heart.
Chen Chen had caused a ruckus all night, and Lu Old Man was deeply fond of his granddaughter. When the child cried, he felt anxious too.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I need to clarify something today. If you continue to treat my wife like this, don’t blame me for not coming back."
"Are you being ridiculous? Do we need her permission to see our granddaughter?" Lu Jianming was furious at the thought of him not coming back. He only had one son; why did it have to be like this?
"Whether you like it or not, she is my wife—my legal wife. You actually let her be treated like a thief and taken to the police station. Grandpa, did you ever consider how I would feel when you did that?" Lu Tianyang held back his anger while Ye Ya cradled Chen Chen in her arms, feeling a weight lift off her heart.
She no longer wanted to care about how the Lu Family would stir things up; as long as Chen Chen was there, that was enough.
"Ever since you married her, how many arguments have we had? We just wanted Chen Chen to stay with us for a couple of days, and she climbed over the wall to come in and even pushed Wan Jing down. I just wanted her to reflect on her actions."
"If she climbed over the wall, it was because you forced her to! Would she have done such a thing otherwise? Did you ever think about what would happen if she fell?"
Ye Ya chuckled inwardly at the foolish man; he really thought everyone would consider whether she might fall from the wall.
This incident was indeed excessive. Lu Old Man felt some regret afterward; after all, it tarnished the Lu Family's image.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, if you want to see the child in the future, you're welcome anytime. But incidents like this cannot happen again."
"Then you must bring Chen Chen back every weekend."
"Let's see if we have time, dear. We're leaving now." Lu Tianyang stated his position, not sparing a glance at Fu Wan Jing. She felt as if she were invisible, her expression growing increasingly grim; she was merely a joke in this situation.
She stood up, unable to hold back her tears, and rushed out before they could leave.
Seeing Fu Wan Jing looking utterly heartbroken, Lu Old Man tapped his cane on the ground. "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and chase after her! If anything happens to Wan Jing, I swear I’ll beat you to death."
"Grandpa, Wan Jing is already an adult. What kind of talk is this? Letting a young woman stay at our house—have you thought about her reputation? In any case, my only wife is Ye Ya." Lu Tianyang replied impatiently; he couldn't abandon Ye Ya and Chen Chen to chase after Fu Wan Jing in this situation.
"Go check on her," Du Huiru said, concerned about Fu Wan Jing's safety given Lu Tianyang's resolute attitude. She quickly sent a driver to follow after her.
"Dear, let’s go. Grandpa, we’ll come back to see you when we have time." Lu Tianyang sighed, knowing they had to live apart for now.
In the car, Chen Chen had already fallen asleep. Ye Ya held him and couldn’t help but ask, "Lu Tianyang, is this really okay? Your family and Fu Wan Jing must hate me now."
"We can only do it this way, dear. I’ll have more people at home; this kind of thing won’t happen again. You don’t need to worry." Lu Tianyang squeezed her hand and noticed it was cold, holding it in his palm for a while.
"Alright, let’s go home. You look like you haven’t rested well; I didn’t sleep last night either."
Hearing the hidden concern in her voice made Lu Tianyang smile slightly. His eyes were a bit dark from fighting Long Shaotang, and he looked somewhat amusing when he smiled. Ye Ya leaned back in her seat, feeling utterly exhausted.
Once home, Guo Ma fed Chen Chen first and lulled him to sleep before Ye Ya returned to their room. Lu Tianyang was already lying on the bed; the intense work schedule and long flights over the past few days had indeed worn him out.
Ye Ya glanced at him and didn’t want to wake him up. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Tianyang suddenly pulled her back. "Wife, come up and sleep with me."
Ye Ya removed his hand and climbed into bed, feeling the fatigue from a restless night.
Lu Tianyang smiled and pulled her into his embrace, falling asleep contentedly. Ye Ya pushed against him gently, but he didn’t budge. Listening to the calm rhythm of his breathing, she let out a soft sigh.
Seeing him so exhausted tugged at her heartstrings.
The crisis between Ye Ya and Lu Tianyang seemed to have passed, but Fu Wan Jing was seething with resentment. Did she truly hold no place in Lu Tianyang’s heart?
Unwilling to accept this, Fu Wan Jing cried for a long time before suddenly thinking of Long Shaotang. Hadn’t he shown interest in Ye Ya?
“Ye Ya, even if I can’t have Lu Tianyang, I won’t let you have it easy.”
Wiping away her tears, she took out her phone and dialed Long Shaotang’s number. She had saved it from the last banquet. The way that man looked at Ye Ya was so intense; would he really give up so easily?
