Chapter 1038: Don’t Test my Patience

A smile appeared on Xia Xiaoman’s face. She reached towards her stomach and took a deep breath. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Xiaoran took a sip of the soup, then set the bowl back down so hard that the soup spilled out.
Xia Xiaoman was taken aback. Chu Xiaoran’s face was filled with irritation as he asked angrily, “What kind of soup is this? It’s disgusting! What did you come to the company for? If you have nothing to do, can’t you just stay in the villa? What are you running around for? Can’t you see that I’m busy?”
Chu Xiaoran was currently very vexed. Any little thing could make him explode. Chu Xiaoran wasn’t the type to silently endure things. Even if the person in front of him was Xia Xiaoman, he still wouldn’t hold back.
Xia Xiaoman’s face paled. She had originally come to tell Chu Xiaoran good news. She had gotten pregnant. Even though she didn’t pay attention much to what was going on with Chu Xiaoran’s company, she still knew about Chu Xiaoran’s current situation. Some things had happened with the company. Xia Xiaoman knew that Chu Xiaoran was anxious because of this situation.
The miscarriage three years ago had made Xia Xiaoman pay a lot more attention to her body. Her period had been late by half a month. When she checked, she found that she had gotten pregnant, but she was worried that it wasn’t accurate and had even gone to the hospital to confirm things. When she confirmed that she was pregnant, she was happy but also worried. She was thinking that this might be one thing that would make Chu Xiaoran happy during this bad situation, but she also wasn’t sure if Chu Xiaoran would like this child.
When Xia Xiaoman saw Chu Xiaoran’s cold and irritated expression, her heart trembled. She hastily picked up the bowl. “It’s bad?”
She took a sip, then immediately covered her mouth. She almost vomited. Her stomach churned in revulsion.
When Chu Xiaoran saw Xia Xiaoman like this, his face filled with even more irritation. “You’re giving me something that makes you puke to drink? Stop being an annoyance here and head back. The company’s busy.”
“But, Chu Xiaoran, I need to talk to you about something,” said Xia Xiaoman hastily. When she came in, she had been so happy, but now her face was turning pale.
“I’m busy. Whatever it is, tell me later. Get out.” The current Chu Xiaoran was like a caged lion that was pacing around restlessly to try and get free from this cage.
Xia Xiaoman was frightened by Chu Xiaoran’s look. She stumbled in fear. Her face was pale and her heart was bitterly cold.
Chu Xiaoran clearly didn’t welcome this child’s arrival. He wasn’t even giving her the chance to talk.
But this was their child! Xia Xiaoman’s heart was filled with hurt and she felt very lost. She covered her belly as she looked towards Chu Xiaoran like she had suffered a huge wound.
Chu Xiaoran was already about to go crazy from anxiety, so when he saw Xia Xiaoman looking at him with such a miserable expression, he got extremely exasperated. He suppressed the fury in his heart as he said, “I told you to head back, so what are you still standing there for? Is the company a place you should be at? Xia Xiaoman, don’t test my patience.”
