I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 286 How Could He Possibly Dislike Her

In the evening, inside Chu’s Mansion, the banquet had just begun when Yuan Xi received a message from the public relations department that Gu Hanchen’s driving into Jiang City had made the hot search on the internet.

Qichen cars had not yet planned to enter the market or mass production, so this kind of premature exposure was generally something to be avoided as much as possible.

However, Gu Hanchen himself was a traffic magnet; videos taken by several netizens had made it to the hot list.

Now, it was too late to withdraw from the trending searches, and it inadvertently served as free marketing for Qichen cars.

During the hundred-day celebration, Chu Lin approached Gu Hanchen to toast, saying, "Congratulations, you’ve made another successful marketing move without spending a dime."

Gu Hanchen clinked glasses with Chu Lin, replying, "Shared joy, shared joy, my goddaughter has turned a hundred days in a blink of an eye, and I have prepared a grand fireworks display for her today."

After sending a message on his phone, Gu Hanchen heard the sound of fireworks bursting into the air.

Lele and An An were immediately frightened to tears by the fireworks, while Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan each comforted one, eventually arousing their interest in the fireworks as they calmed down.

Yuan Xi covered Lele’s ears for her to watch the sky filled with scattered fireworks.

Gu Hanchen really spared no expense for his goddaughter, providing a brilliant fireworks show that was a visual feast.

Inside the second-floor study, Cheng Yue was holding her baby in the soundproof room, where the fireworks would not scare the child.

Cheng Yue looked at Chu Lin entering the room and complained, "Mr. Gu sent fireworks, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known there would be fireworks tonight, I would have taken Xiao Fu home earlier."

Chu Lin said, "Gu Hanchen only mentioned he would give his goddaughter a grand surprise. I didn’t expect it to be fireworks. Was Xiao Fu frightened?"

Cheng Yue, gazing at the fireworks outside the window, said, "No, I brought her into the study as soon as I heard the noise. The soundproofing here is good, the noise from the fireworks is much reduced, and, fortunately, she wasn’t woken up by it."

Chu Lin wanted to take his daughter from Cheng Yue’s arms.

However, Cheng Yue did not hand the child over to Chu Lin, "I’ll hold her. If you do, she’ll definitely cry; she knows you dislike her."

Chu Lin frowned, "How could I possibly dislike her?"

Cheng Yue glanced at Chu Lin, "Didn’t you tell Gu Han once that if you had a choice, you wouldn’t want to be the father of my child? Don’t say you’ve forgotten those words, have you?"

Chu Lin frowned, "How do you know that?"

It occurred to Chu Lin that he had only said those words to Gu Han on the day he moved out, and Cheng Yue was not present at the time.

Cheng Yue replied, "Your living room has surveillance recording."

Chu Lin said, "I didn’t mean that I dislike the child."

Cheng Yue placed the child on the sofa in the study and said softly, "There’s no need to explain. It’s fine if you don’t like the child. We haven’t registered our marriage yet. I just need custody of Xiao Fu and the vice president position from Chu Neng, as well as the shares given to me by Mr. Yang. If you want a child you love; one that doesn’t come by accident, you can find a girl you like. I won’t mind, as long as you provide the child support Xiao Fu needs. Xiao Fu doesn’t really need a father who detests her..."

Chu Lin said, "I don’t dislike Xiao Fu."

Cheng Yue said, "Chu Lin, are you unwilling to admit what you’ve said yourself?"

"I didn’t want to discuss this during the child’s hundred-day celebration, but now that the child is a hundred days old, I don’t want her to grow up in a home where her father doesn’t like her. Let’s separate. Just remember to deposit the child support into Xiao Fu’s bank account every month."

"As for my position that I’ve worked so hard to achieve in Chu Neng over the years, I can’t just leave. If your future partner minds, then I can’t help it. When you look for another Mrs. Chu, you had better explain the situation. I don’t want to deal with meaningless rivalry in addition to my work..."

Before Cheng Yue could finish her sentence, Chu Lin stepped forward, seized her chin, and blocked her red lips.

Cheng Yue whimpered, trying to push Chu Lin away, but he firmly held her hands.

With the disparity in strength between men and women, Cheng Yue was taken by Chu Lin to a chair in the study.

Chu Lin placed his hands on the back of the chair, trapping Cheng Yue, and looking at her face with exquisite makeup applied today, "Did I ever agree to separate from you? Have you even made plans for my future Mrs. Chu?"

Cheng Yue looked at Chu Lin and said, "If you despise me and the child so much, isn’t it better for me to set you free to pursue the person you like?"

Chu Lin snorted coldly, "I have never despised the child. The reason I said those words to Gu Hanchen was that you misunderstood my intention."

"Misunderstanding?" Cheng Yue frowned, full of disbelief.

Chu Lin said, "I do not want to be a father to the child, but that doesn’t mean I despise my own flesh and blood; I just don’t want my life to be hijacked by a child."

Cheng Yue still didn’t understand Chu Lin’s point, "Is there a difference?"

Chu Lin leaned close to Cheng Yue’s ear and said, "Of course, there’s a difference. I don’t hate Xiao Fu, but I hate that Xiao Fu is hijacking our life choices. You didn’t agree to get engaged with me just for Xiao Fu either. I despise this helpless imprisonment. Xiao Fu is my daughter; I could never not love her."

Chu Lin looked into Cheng Yue’s eyes, "At first, I indeed despised you. Nobody would like someone constantly watching them through a camera. Even less so would anyone like a person who, in order to achieve their goals, is unscrupulous and even risks their own safety..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Cheng Yue returned his gaze, frowning slightly.

"And yet I degenerate to the point of falling for you!"

Chu Lin began unbuttoning his shirt, "That’s why I say if I could choose, I wouldn’t want to be Xiao Fu’s father because I don’t want to admit that I like you and yet you have to marry me just because of the child!"

Caught in a daze, Cheng Yue’s red lips were sealed by Chu Lin once more.

The electric curtains in the study slowly drew closed, hiding the dazzling fireworks in the night sky outside.

The heavily beaded embroidered gown was torn apart with a ripping sound...

The Chu Family set off fireworks for a full hour, only ceasing after the banquet ended.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan had both drunk a bit today. When it was time to leave the Chu’s Mansion, they received a message from Liang Hao that Fu Qin had gone into labor.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan hurried to the hospital to see Fu Qin.

Jiang City.

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival coincided with the last day of the college entrance exams.

Ren Tian had spent most of the last half-year caring for the two kids and dedicating all her time to study. A year’s time would not allow her stellar advancement in her grades after being away from school for many years.

But with one-on-one tutoring by renowned teachers in each subject, Ren Tian was somewhat confident in her exam scores.

Fu Yixian had already arranged a place for her in a private undergraduate college in Jiang City. As long as her scores weren’t outrageously low, a specially reserved enrollment slot in a specific major would be opened for her.

After Ren Tian finished her last exam in the afternoon, she felt completely relaxed. After discussing with a few teachers and estimating her scores, it turned out to be twenty points above the threshold from the previous year. Almost without any need for special consideration, she could enter the private undergraduate college arranged by Fu Yixian.
