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

Chapter 91 Confession Rejected
"It's him! It's him! It really is him!"

Lou Yushi also shouted in response.

Jiang Xia was taken aback by their sudden outburst, exclaiming, "Why don't you two sing it out? What about our hero, Nezha?!"

The two remained silent, pursing their lips, but each wrapped their arms around Jiang Xia's, pointing to Number 3 standing by the roadside smoking not far away: "Look! He's right there! Is he waiting for us? I think I'm being a bit too presumptuous!"

"How could he possibly be waiting for us?" Jiang Shan's shoulders trembled with embarrassment and annoyance, but she still managed to remain rational as she said, "He's probably waiting for a friend, but looking at him now, he's even more handsome! He's so good-looking, that face..."

"His physique is amazing. How come he looks so good in a simple T-shirt and jeans..."

The two chattered on and on, but Jiang Xia knew very well that this person was waiting for them, no, only for her.

She really wanted to think she had guessed wrong, so she pulled the two of them across the road and headed straight for the residential area. But not far away, Number 3 raised his eyebrows at them and said, "Good evening, ladies."

"..."

Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan froze in their tracks, as if their souls had left their bodies.

Number 3 strode around to the front of the group, staring intently at Jiang Xia, but addressed Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan: "Ladies, if you don't mind, may I speak with this man alone for a few minutes?"

Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan gradually came to their senses and realized that number 3 referred to Jiang Xia. Jiang Shan nodded subconsciously: "Of course, no problem."

Lou Yushi hesitated for a few seconds, then pulled Jiang Xia's arm around her: "Isn't that inappropriate? It's so late..."

Number 3 smiled and glanced around: "We'll just chat for a bit by the roadside. There are so many people and cars coming and going, and there are surveillance cameras. I won't do anything to her."

"But……"

Lou Yushi still had some doubts, but Jiang Xia spoke up: "Never mind, you two go home first. The gift is on the coffee table. You and Jiang Shan can go back and check it first."

Since Jiang Xia had spoken, Lou Yushi could no longer insist on obstructing her, but before leaving, she cautiously gave Jiang Xia a look, signaling her not to be foolish and suffer a loss.

Jiang Xia nodded knowingly and watched Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan enter the residential area. Then, her view was blocked by the outstanding figure of No. 3, and she heard him say the most insightful thing: "Don't you recognize me? Jiang Xia."

Jiang Xia stared directly at his shoulders and neck, remaining silent.

"Important people have bad memories?" Number 3 sneered again, reaching out to lift Jiang Xia's chin, forcing her to look up into his eyes. "Look at me, you really don't recognize me?"

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Xia quickly looked away and shoved his hand away.

"I know him, I haven't forgotten him, Lu Twenty-Three." She finally said it.

Seeing her intense reaction and hearing her utter her real name again, Lu Niansan smiled with satisfaction.

"I didn't recognize you at first that night... but when you came to my side, I recognized you immediately."

Lu Niansan.

Jiang Xia never expected that when they met again, he would actually be... a popular male model.

Because of many things, she entered an orphanage at the age of ten. Because she was not sociable and was relatively old, it was difficult for her to be adopted. There was another person there who had a similar fate to her, namely Lu Niansan.

The two were the same age, born in the same month and year, and even shared the same birthday. Unsurprisingly, with their aunt's constant matchmaking, they became good friends who helped each other.

In reality, the two didn't have a very good relationship in private; it was just so-so. This was because Jiang Xia had a somewhat aloof personality and had never liked to communicate with others since she was a child. After the age of ten, she was preoccupied with studying and never paid attention to anyone.

"You're still the same."

Lu Niansan scrutinized her closely, his eyes deep yet sparkling. "You're cold to everyone, but I heard you got married? The person who picked you up that night must have been your husband."

Jiang Xia gave a faint "hmm," not interested in asking Lu Niansan why he did this job. Everyone has their own pursuits, and she was too lazy to meddle, nor did she want to reminisce.

But Lu Niansan seemed to have a lot to say. He lit a cigarette and, while smoking, made a startling remark: "Your husband is no good, and his sister is no good either. She's brainless, but her brother is too scheming."

"These two siblings are completely unbalanced."

Jiang Xia: "..."

"Is it unnecessary for you to make the judgment?" She glanced at him indifferently. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home."

"Still so cold." Lu Niansan frowned, his long legs blocking Jiang Xia's path. "Is it only towards me? Jiang Xia, I haven't done anything to wrong you or hurt you, have I?"

“No.” Jiang Xia looked up at him again, her calm voice indifferent and undisturbed: “But I don’t think there’s anything worth talking to you about.”

Life in the welfare home is pretty much the same.

It wasn't exactly terrible, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant memory either. So who would want to reminisce and chat with a childhood friend from the orphanage about past hardships? How boring!

Lu Niansan's cold lips twitched, and his next words were much sharper and more direct: "You think I'm just a male model who sells his body, that my private life is too messy, that I've served too many women, including your sister-in-law Ruan Muting, who is my sugar daddy, so you look down on me?"

"..." Jiang Xia took a deep breath helplessly and said sincerely, "No, your personal choice has nothing to do with me. It's just that we've all grown up. If you need anything, just tell me if I can help you. If not, let's not waste time."

"Oh." Lu Twenty-Three nodded casually, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he looked down at her. "Planning a divorce? After the divorce, could you consider me?"

Jiang Xia was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

“We know each other inside and out, we’re practically childhood friends, is it that hard to give me a chance?” Lu Niansan was quite serious. “It’s okay if you have a son. For you, I will be a good stepfather.”

This is practically nonsense.

Jiang Xia was so angry she laughed. She took two steps back to avoid him and deliberately retorted, "And then what? You're going to take over and support us, mother and child? How are you going to support us? By selling yourself?"

Lu Niansan: "..."

He smiled and narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "If I said no, I'm not a male prostitute, would you believe me?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I believe you, but what can I do? First, I don't need to rely on a man, and second, I don't like you."

"I……"

Lu Niansan was completely taken aback by her. This was the first time in his life he had been so bluntly rejected. He gasped helplessly, "But I'm no worse than your current husband! Most importantly, I know something..."
