After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 218 Appeasing the Wife

Jiang Yichen parked his car and walked into the villa.

Grandma was all smiles towards me, but the moment she saw Jiang Yichen, she unleashed all her anger on him.

"You brat! You must have neglected Momo these past few days to make her miss her family. You're not allowed to work these next few days either, so take good care of your wife, you hear me?!"

Hearing the old lady scolding her grandson, she thought to herself that finally someone could teach Jiang Yichen a lesson.

The grievances I felt from talking to him earlier have eased somewhat.

Seeing that my complexion had improved, Jiang Yichen took advantage of the situation and picked me up in his arms.

I clung tightly to his neck in fear.

"Jiang Yichen, what are you doing?"

He ignored me and just said to his grandmother, "Grandma is right. I'll go and coax my wife right now."

The sentence sounded like a double entendre. I heard my grandmother and the nanny laughing, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to bury my head in Jiang Yichen's chest.

Back in the master bedroom, Jiang Yichen threw me onto the bed. My head was spinning from being shaken, and before I could even speak, he rolled over and pinned me down.

"Jiang Yichen, what are you doing?"

I pushed him, but I was no match for him.

"Tell me, what exactly can I do to stop you from running away?"

His head was very close to mine, so close that every word he spoke, his breath flowed around my neck.

Jiang Yichen's tone softened considerably, almost pleading.

I'm the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Seeing his attitude, and considering that I'm currently under his control, my rational mind tells me that I can try to reason with him at this point.

"I also want to ask you, Jiang Yichen, what do you want in order to let me go?"

Jiang Yichen tightened his grip around my waist, as if he wanted to devour me whole. "Gu Mo! You're already pregnant with my child, and you still don't like me?"

His tone was weary, as if we were back in the seven years after our marriage.

No matter what Jiang Yichen does, he can't win my favor.

“What does this have to do with whether I look down on you or not? Jiang Yichen, you will marry Lin Nan sooner or later. My child and I will never be able to see the light of day. This kind of revenge is too heavy.”

When I came to my senses, I realized that Jiang Yichen's act of lowering himself was just a way to keep me around and a means of getting revenge on me.

He won't let me off the hook either.

Thinking of this, my tears started flowing uncontrollably again.

Strange, could it really be caused by pregnancy hormones? Why am I crying so much lately?

Jiang Yichen ignored me, so I cried even harder, and finally almost broke down in tears.

He was so frightened that he let go of me, helped me up, and was afraid that I would cry myself to death.

While wiping away her tears, she comforted me, saying, "Didn't I say I wouldn't marry Lin Nan?"

These words were like a tear pump, instantly stopping my tears.

As I racked my brains, Jiang Yichen... seemed to... have actually said that...

But I didn't pay any attention at the time, thinking he was just trying to comfort me.

Looking at his serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"What about Lin Nan?" I sniffled and sobbed softly.

He looked at my expression, smiled indulgently, turned around and took out two tissues to wipe my snot.

"Lin Nan has her own life. The news of her engagement was also to spite you, and..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but I understood.

At that time, my family had just gone bankrupt, and I was arrogant and spoiled. He proposed that I become his mistress, firstly to destroy my self-esteem so that he could get the pleasure of revenge, and secondly to make me mature quickly.

In the end, he lied to me, and he even has the nerve to say he's right.

While I was thinking, Jiang Yichen's hands started to wander again.

"Are you still leaving?"

I shook my head and said nothing.

He rested his head on my neck and chuckled to himself.

After a long day of this, I was a little tired. He was making me feel all itchy, but he was like a persistent pest, pushing me away only to rub against me again.

"Let me lean on it for a while."

I'm a bit helpless. During the day, he's fierce and dares to snatch people from the hospital, but at night he's like a clingy puppy. It's such a contrast.

I stopped rejecting his approach, and the atmosphere became eerily quiet. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't let Gu Bai know I was safe yet.

I took out my phone and sent him a message.

"Who are you messaging this time?" Jiang Yichen asked without looking up, his tone unfriendly.

"Tell Gu Bai that I'm here with you, so he and his parents won't worry."

Jiang Yichen looked up, waited quietly for me to finish sending the message, and then snatched the phone away.

"Jiang Yi..."

Before I could finish speaking, he pressed against me again. This time, it was his lips.

The next day, my regular work schedule woke me up early, and Jiang Yichen was already ready and waiting for me.

She was still holding a hot breakfast in her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll serve you meals," he said matter-of-factly.

"I'm not a useless person."

"Grandma told me not to go to work so I can take good care of you."

I felt a sweet warmth in my heart, but my tone remained indifferent: "If you don't go to work, I have to."

After saying that, I got up and started washing up.

From the moment I woke up, Jiang Yichen kept a close eye on me, as if afraid I would run away.

Even going to work requires me to walk into the company together.

The consequence of doing this was that it drew stares from all the employees, which made me very uncomfortable.

Just as I was thinking of getting away from him to avoid trouble, he anticipated my move. He said "all employees, call a meeting" in the office, and then took my hand and left.

This is the first time since I started working that I've seen all the employees in the company at once.

Jiang Yichen rarely holds such group meetings, and even the company's cleaning lady walked in trembling with fear.

I also saw the receptionist who spoke ill of me behind my back that day.

"stop."

As the receptionist walked inside, Jiang Yichen coldly stared at her and gave her a command.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

"Starting today, you don't need to come to work."

"Why should I?" the receptionist protested.

Jiang Yichen looked down at her, his gentle demeanor from the previous night completely gone.

“My company doesn’t keep people who gossip behind people’s backs. Say one more word and I’ll see which company would dare to hire you.”

Upon hearing this, the packed conference room fell silent. Anyone who dared to speak up would be silenced for saying the wrong thing.

No one dared to look at Jiang Yichen, nor dared to lower their heads, so they all focused their attention on me, who was standing next to Jiang Yichen.

But I looked at Lin Nan in the audience.

Standing where Lin Nan should have been, she must have hated me to the core. But when I looked at her, she didn't even try to hide it, and her attitude towards me remained unchanged.

That look seemed to say, "Gu Mo, you've caused me trouble again."

Jiang Yichen said a few more words and then the meeting adjourned, leaving me alone.

Even Lin Nan left the meeting room.

I can easily imagine what these people are saying about me behind my back.

"With me around, no one will dare to talk about you anymore."

He's like a mind reader; he relieved my worries as soon as I finished complaining in my head.

“The company has recently recruited a lot of new live streamers. You have a lot of experience, so you can do operations and mentor them for the next few months. It won’t be too tiring.”

"Why? I don't want to. I've just built up this popularity, and you think I can just switch to working behind the scenes like that? I..."

"Have you forgotten what the doctor told you? He told you to rest and let you continue working, which is the most I can tolerate. Don't challenge me."

I pursed my lips and muttered under my breath, "She really thinks she's my husband."

I dared not resist, because what he said made sense; nothing was more important than the little darling in my belly right now.

"It will happen sooner or later."

After saying this, Jiang Yichen looked at my stomach, his eyes softening for a moment, before leaving the meeting room.
