His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

In the restaurant, Qi Han and Murong Yue were facing each other over a meal. Qi Han was eating a rare steak while Murong Yue was poking at her salad. Wang Che had left, choosing not to have dinner with them since Shun was not with him.

"Do you think Wang Che will be fine?" Murong Yue asked, suppressing nausea at the sight of the meat on Qi Han's plate. 

"You seem overly concerned about him." Qi Han looked at her sharply. 

"I am just trying to make conversation. Can you not be so defensive all the time?" Murong Yue put down her fork with annoyance. 

"Do you think I do not have a right to be defensive against you?" Qi Han asked. 

Murong Yue laughed. "Are you sure you want to have a conversation about this right now?" 

Qi Han put down his fork and knife and looked at Murong Yue with the cold eyes of a businessman. He wanted to hear what Murong Yue had to say. Since her pregnancy was revealed, the two of them had not talked about where they stood. 

Their interactions were those of acquaintances.

"Now is a good a time as any. Please, speak your mind, Miss Murong." Qi Han said. 

Murong Yue took a deep breath. "Look, you keep treating me as your mortal enemy, and I do not believe that I have done anything to deserve that. I might not be a good person, but I have never done anything bad towards you." 

"Haven't you?" Qi Han asked sarcastically. 

Murong Yue laughed lightly. "Yes, I used you to make my life better. But you must admit that you also used me. I was a gateway to Hu Lei. And when you realised it was hopeless, you used me to forget her. On that count, I say it is a fair exchange." 

Qi Han gritted his teeth when she mentioned the matter with Hu Lei. 

"You know that it is not what I am talking about." He said with annoyance. 

"Oh, do you mean the baby?" Murong Yue lifted her head with pride. "Once again, I did not plot against you to get pregnant. Did I hope that it would happen? Yes. I am a girl from an aristocratic family, so I have to think about securing my future before someone interferes." 

"So, you admit it!" Qi Han raised his voice. 

Some of the other diners looked in their direction. But they turned away when they saw Qi Han. He was not someone that most people could afford to mess up with. 

"Admit what?" Murong Yue responded in a harsh whisper. "I said I wanted it to happen. The only thing I did was not use contraception. I did not trick you. I did not drug you. I did not touch your condoms. If you had taken precautions, we would not be in this situation." 

Qi Han could not say anything. Could he tell her that it was her responsibility to make sure she did not get pregnant? No. He was careless because he did not want to think deeply about what he was doing at the time. He felt like she was in the wrong, but both of them were at fault. 

"Look, we are already here. I want to take control of my life before someone does it for me. The method I chose is a little despicable, but I believe it is my best option. I might not be in love with you, but I like you enough. I would like for our relationship to work." Murong Yue added. 

Qi Han was silent.

He was weighing the situation. 

Murong Yue was a little out of line, but she was onto something. If the relationship between them worked, he would not need to worry about the plots of the company shareholders, especially the ones from his father's generation. 

Over the past year, most of them attempted to set him up with their daughters. Some even used more than a few disgusting tricks. Since his father was dead and his brother was still in Europe after attempting to murder him, he was like a fat sheep ready for slaughter. 

Since Murong Yue revealed her pregnancy in the media, the ridiculous setups by those who wanted a marriage alliance had stopped. 

At this point, Qi Han had accepted that he would not get Hu Lei in this lifetime. She was not only married to Zhong Feng. Everyone could also see that their love was deep and genuine, and nothing could separate them. All things considered, Murong Yue was not a bad choice for a practical wife. 

However, he was concerned about the possibility of complications. 

"What do you want from this relationship?" Qi Han asked. 

Murong Yue was surprised at his open-mindedness. "I want to live on my own terms. You should already know that my father and my sister are struggling to keep the company, but they are losing badly to my cousin. They are ready to take all measures to win. They are planning to use me in a marriage alliance." 

Qi Han was not surprised. He had a good understanding of the situation in the Murong business. The internal struggles of the company were discussed constantly in their social circle. Despite the earlier win by Murong Cheng, he had not managed to stabilise his victory. 

"I will not interfere with the Murong business, even if you ask me. If you want to have a relationship with me, it will be only with you. I will not bail out your father and your sister." Qi Han said clearly as he considered the proposition. 

"I know." Murong Yue paused. "I should probably let you know that my cousin is getting help from Lu Liang. At first, it was just a rumour, but it turns out that Lu Liang now has some shares in the Murong company. So, it is a confirmed matter." 

Qi Han was surprised. But again, Lu Liang was a smart woman. And she was vengeful.

"It is expected that she would strike back. Your father used her to win the inheritance war with his brother and cut her loose. It was a foolish move." Qi Han responded. "And your cousin is angry at both his father and your father. With his brains and Lu Liang's help, he will definitely take over soon." 

"Will you tell Hu Lei about this?" Murong Yue asked. She was not in love with Qi Han, but she felt a little uncomfortable about his feelings for her sort-of stepsister. 

"Do you think she cannot find out this information for herself?" Qi Han snorted. "I hope you are not banking on Hu Lei stopping Lu Liang from gaining power in Supreme City. You should know by now that she is not interested in destroying her mother, despite their past differences." 

Murong Yue knew it. But she wondered if there was another way she could help her father and sister. The only thing she was not willing to do was taking a gamble with her marital future. 

Qi Han saw her spinning thoughts. "You can plot with your family as much as you like. But do not do anything that will affect me. If you do, I will have no problem kicking you to the curb. I am sure I can figure out how to raise a baby. And if you want to go after Lu Liang, remember that Hu Lei might choose to protect her because of her brother." 

Murong Yue calmed down. 

She could not do anything for now. The best she could do was hope that her father and sister had a plan. And if they failed, she could offer them shelter and food.. But none of that could happen if she messed up her arrangement with Qi Han.
