After Wen Huai sent her back safely, he could not help but nag, “Xiao Ke, look at you. How do you look like a young girl in your twenties? Do you have to go to bed so early?”

Hu Ke waved her hand and said goodbye to Wen Huai.

Yawning, she let herself into the house. She was so sleepy, all she wanted to do was go to bed.

However, just as she walked around the screen to the living room, she saw Bai Xiao sitting on the sofa with a dark expression.

Hu Ke stopped yawning. She suddenly had the strange illusion that she was like a husband who had been caught by her wife when she came home from fooling around outside.

“What time is it now?” Bai Xiao asked coldly.

When he returned home and found that Hu Ke was not around, he suddenly remembered that he had seen her at the bar. He originally only wanted to wait for Hu Ke to come back and talk to her about this problem, but he did not expect to wait for three hours.

“Don’t forget your identity. You’re completely dependent on the child now. If this child is aborted, you don’t have to stay in the Bai family anymore!”

At first, Bai Xiao just wanted to talk to Hu Ke calmly about her health. However, when he smelled the alcohol on Hu Ke’s body, Bai Xiao felt inexplicably frustrated and could not help but complain.

Hu Ke’s face was filled with confusion. He did not know what Bai Xiao was up to again.

“You’re quite bold for a pregnant woman to go to the bar every day. Are you already looking for a new home for yourself in ten months?” Bai Xiao could not help but mock Hu Ke, but Hu Ke seemed to be used to his words. She nodded perfunctorily and was about to go upstairs.

What was there to argue about with a narcissistic lunatic?

Bai Xiao looked at her attitude. It was as if he had punched cotton. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He picked up the document he had printed and threw it into Hu Ke’s arms.

“I’ve added a little detail to your agreement. If you think it’s fine, sign it.”

Hu Ke nodded perfunctorily and walked upstairs with the agreement. She was really tired and just wanted to sleep.

“Don’t think you don’t have to sign it just because you’re running away!”

Hu Ke took out her phone and typed: [I’ll read it tomorrow. I’m so tired today. I want to sleep.]

Bai Xiao looked at her speechlessly, feeling that Hu Ke was mocking him.

But Hu Ke did not care so much. After washing up, she crawled into the warm bed.

When Hu Ke woke up the next day, Bai Xiao had already gone to the company. Hu Ke stretched lazily before getting out of bed to wash up and eat.

She had arranged to meet the agent to look at the house this afternoon. Other than that, she had nothing else to do and could rest at home in peace.

Her three meals a day were now strictly planned according to the standards given by the nutritionist. There had to be meat, egg and milk for breakfast, as well as vegetables and fruits. There was a small additional meal at ten in the morning and three in the afternoon every day.

Hu Ke looked at her increasingly round face in the mirror and sighed.

This couldn’t go on. She had to register for a fitness class.

After breakfast, she was pulled by Bian Fang to walk around the small garden a few times to digest her food. When all of this was over, she returned to her room to do her own things.

She turned on her computer to record the mixing recipe she had prepared yesterday. From the corner of her eye, she saw the contract beside her.

She was sleeping so soundly that she forgot about this.

Hu Ke carefully checked the contents of the contract. Bai Xiao said that he had only changed it a little, but in fact, he had changed it a lot.

Hu Ke had thought of countless agreements, but he did not expect it to be like this.

To put it simply, from the effective date onwards, their financial relationship would be zero. Bai Xiao would not recover the betrothal gift from before. Every month, he would give her 100,000 yuan for her clothes, food, accommodation, and living expenses after the divorce. The only condition was that the child would belong to Bai Xiao.

Not only did Bai Xiao not gain any benefits from this marriage, but he would lose at least 11 million yuan.

Hu Ke could not figure out why Bai Xiao would offer such conditions. Could it really be for a child?

At this moment, Bai Xiao, who was sitting in the conference room, explained patiently to Yu Wei over the phone, “Mom, I’m not crazy. I’m doing this once and for all. It’s better to be clear it in one go than to be targeted in the future.”
