After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 29 I Don't Want Anyone
Xu Fei found himself in a dead end because of a set of experimental data.

He insisted that his calculations were correct and that he had experimental evidence to back them up, but Jiang Xia disagreed, and the two argued fiercely online.

Ruan Muhuai didn't speak, nor did he put down the paper in his hand.

But with a complex and profound gaze, he seemed to be getting to know Jiang Xia anew, meticulously surveying her.

No wonder he reacted that way...

"Jiang Xia knows nothing and doesn't understand human relationships!"

"I told you long ago that this marriage wouldn't work! But your grandfather wouldn't listen and insisted on making the decision! Isn't that ruining you?"

"No matter what, you're married now, and Jiang Xia is pregnant. I figured she'd be my daughter-in-law now, so I took her to meet up with Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Li... and the others today. Isn't that how our circle is? But what happened? She doesn't know anything about skincare! She doesn't know anything about luxury auction items either!"

"Even when it comes to playing mahjong, she knows absolutely nothing!"

Back then, as soon as she heard that the old man had decided to arrange for Jiang Xia and Ruan Muhuai to get married, Xi Yuehua hurriedly took Ruan Chengzong back to China. From the first moment she saw Jiang Xia, Xi Yuehua, the future mother-in-law, was dissatisfied and looked down on him completely.

They eventually managed to get married.

Xi Yuehua's dissatisfaction with Jiangxia intensified.

Even Ruan Chengzong, who was usually taciturn but gentle and never too critical of anyone, said to Ruan Muhuai, "Son, the wife you married... is somewhat lacking."

The traditional model of men managing external affairs and women managing the household is still prevalent in wealthy and influential families today. Men expand their empires and strategize outside the home, while women manage the entire household, keep a close eye on the finances, and navigate the social circles of wealthy wives with ease. But what about Jiang Xia? No matter how much her mother-in-law Xi Yuehua tries to teach her, she just can't learn it.

So, about a year after their marriage, when they were finally able to see their grandson born, Xi Yuehua dragged Ruan Chengzong abroad. She really didn't like Jiangxia and wanted to avoid seeing him altogether.

"This guy is a complete waste! Moron! Brainless! Heartless!"

Before leaving, Xi Yuehua complained to Ruan Muhuai, "My son is so good, and he actually married such a piece of trash! What was your grandfather thinking? He's really senile!"

"Anyway, it's already like this. You already have a child, so just be a good father. As for that thing, just eat and drink well and let it stay there. Just treat it as a useless vase in our family."

Ruan Chengzong said, "We should try to have more children. You and she are still so young, and our family has the means. Let's try to have more children."

Xi Yuehua sneered: "Besides giving birth, what else can she do? She really only brought a uterus with her when she married into our family!"

……

Parents' disapproval, Ruan Muting's disdain...

In addition, Jiang Xia gave up her job and devoted herself entirely to raising her son and being a devoted wife and mother to her husband, which led to...

Ruan Muhuai had never thought of it, no, he had long forgotten... Jiang Xia was a high-achieving student who earned his doctorate in his early twenties and was favored by many senior professors. He was a gifted individual.

Looking at the data on the papers in his hand, Ruan Muhuai slowly glanced at Jiang Xia, who was still busy typing on the computer, and his chaotic eyes gradually deepened.

He didn't speak again or disturb Jiang Xia. He just stood quietly to the side, looking down as he flipped through the papers and notes.

Time passes minute by minute...

Jiang Xia finally convinced Xu Fei by repeatedly calculating the data, successfully leading him out of the dead end. She breathed a sigh of relief and noticed the towering mountain beside her. She then casually closed her laptop.

"What is it? Just say it..."

She suddenly paused, immediately realizing that she was now trapped and under house arrest!

I'm so busy I'm completely confused. Jiang Xia decisively put down the computer, quickly tidied up the scattered papers and notes, and didn't forget to snatch those few sheets from Ruan Muhuai's hands. Then, while tidying up, she said, "You can't keep me trapped like this. It's illegal, and I believe you don't want to make things worse..."

The reason Jiang Xia didn't call the police for the past few days wasn't because she was worried about losing face, nor was it because she wanted to save face for Ruan Muhuai. The main reason was that she wanted to use this opportunity to calm Ruan Muhuai down and have a peaceful and quick divorce with her!

Ruan Muhuai's indifferent face remained expressionless as he interrupted, "It won't happen again."

Jiang Xia was taken aback.

"But you should also get rid of those inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible," he added, his indifferent expression still calm and undisturbed, but his voice carried an undeniable pressure.

Jiang Xia put down what she was organizing, frowned and looked at him again. Before she could speak, Ruan Muhuai said, "If you don't learn your lesson and keep threatening to divorce me, then Ruan Yuanchao will be yours, but I don't want him."

"!!!"

Jiang Xia thought he was hallucinating.

She subconsciously pinched her earlobe, looking at him with an incredulous gaze: "You...don't want a son?"

Ruan Muhuai nodded slightly, his eyes filled with unwavering certainty: "No."

Jiang Xia: "..."

I was completely stumped by her in an instant.

When other people get divorced, it's usually because both parents are fighting for custody of the children. They can turn against each other and even go to great lengths to get the children into a fight.

But how did things become like this when it came to the two of them...?

“Ruan Yuanchao’s surname is Ruan, and he has the blood of your Ruan family flowing through his veins. He is also the first child of your family in this generation. You don’t want him? Have you asked your parents and grandfather?” Jiang Xia stood up in disbelief.

Ruan Muhuai raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep-set eyes darkening: "The child is yours and mine, why are you asking them?"

He stepped forward, his eyes lowered and gazing at her: "Jiang Xia, if you can live a good life, then live a good life. If you can't, then take the son you gave birth to and get out of here."

His cold words, like a gust of wind, drifted in slowly along with the faint scent of wood mixed with tobacco emanating from him. Yet, each word, spoken with deliberate pause, struck Jiang Xia's heart like an object thrown from a great height.

"I brought my son..." Jiang Xia's cold laugh couldn't be repeated, and her smile quickly faded.

How could she forget?

Ruan Muhuai never liked or loved her, so how could he possibly care about the child she gave birth to?

She left, they got divorced, and Ruan Muhuai will definitely remarry, probably in no time. Then they'll have a new child soon, born to the woman he loves most, the one he wants most and cares about most.

As for Nguyen Nguyen Trieu, he had long been superfluous.

The poor guy was still thinking about Xin Rou and wanted to find a new mother, little did he know that no one wanted him at all.

Jiang Xia was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She then lowered her head and gathered her loose hair. She couldn't help but sneer, "But what can I do? I don't want a son either."

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

A dying person has no way to educate his son or give him a future.
