Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 111

111 All Alone

Before Yu Kangtai came, he had already expected Yu Niaoniao’s reaction and guessed that she might have some resistance. However, he did not expect her to reject him so decisively and not give him any respect at all.

He frowned in spite of himself, annoyed.

Considering that he was at fault first, Yu Kangtai endured it. He coaxed her with more patience than he had ever shown.

“It was my fault before. I misunderstood you. I know you’re angry, but I’m still your father. There’s no overnight hatred between father and daughter. Come home with me first. We can talk when we get home.”

Yu Niaoniao suddenly asked.

“Do you really know why I’m angry?”

Yu Kangtai said without thinking, “Of course, it’s because I misunderstood you. Now I know that you weren’t the one who injured Pingping. We’ve all wronged you.”

Yu Wenxian shook her head. “No.”

Yu Kangtai was stunned and looked puzzled.

Yu curled his lips into a smile.

“I can actually understand why you don’t trust me. I grew up with my mother and stepfather. There’s only blood between us. There’s no real basis for our feelings. I’m actually very unfamiliar to you. You don’t know me well enough to trust me.”

Although she was smiling, Xiao Juan could clearly feel that she was very sad.

He had personally experienced this feeling before.

No one wanted to believe him when he was misunderstood by his closest kin.

The world was vast, and they were all alone.

Xiao Juan suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her head to stop her from being sad.

However, considering that Yu Kangtai was still watching, he held back in the end.

Yu Kangtai wanted to say no, but he couldn’t argue.

His mouth opened and closed. In the end, all he could manage was a line.

“I didn’t think it would come to this.”

Yu Niaoniao curled up. “In your position, it’s only natural that you don’t trust me. What I can’t accept is your slander against my mother. She’s been extremely good to me. I won’t allow you to say anything bad about her.”

At the mention of her mother, her fingers curled, bit by bit, into tight fists.

It was as if she was trying his best to suppress her emotions.

Yu Kangtai hadn’t expected her to say that.

After so many years, he had almost forgotten what Madam Xie looked like. The only thing he could still remember was the determination when Madam Xie proposed to make peace and the back view of them leaving the Yu Residence without looking back.

He had never seen such a strong-willed woman who could separate just like that, leaving no room for negotiation.

For many years after that, Yu Kangtai still had some resentment toward her.

It was also because of the resentment hidden in the depths of his heart that he could not help but criticize Madam Xie when he faced Yu Qianqian.

It was as if he could only balance himself by stepping on Madam Xie.

Yu Niaoniao looked him in the eye and enunciated each word.

“The person you should apologize to is not me, but my mother.”

Yu Kangtai subconsciously avoided her gaze and said vaguely.

“Your mother is dead. There’s no point talking about it. Let’s get back to you.”

Disappointment welled up in her heart.

She pressed her lower lip together. “Again, I’m not going home.”

Yu Kangtai frowned. “You’re an unmarried girl. If word gets out that you’re living alone here, what will happen? Do you still want live with a good name in the future?”

Yu Qianqian said indifferently.

“My reputation was already ruined anyway. What’s a little worse?”
