Chapter 165 There has never been another woman in my heart.

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his dark eyes, and his nerves, which had been tense for who knows how long, instantly relaxed.

Then, he curled his thin lips and let out a silent, cold laugh.

The president of Lighttrack Ventures' Greater China region is, to put it bluntly, just a high-level employee who can be replaced at any time.

His background was that of an illegitimate child who was not valued by Fu Lixian, had no connections or resources in China, and was marginalized by his family.

In terms of status, background, and resources, what does Fu Chenzhou have to compare with him?

If Jiang Shiyuan isn't out of her mind, she should understand that choosing who to be with is the right choice!

Half an hour later, Jiang Shiyuan rushed to the hospital with the gifts she had brought for her grandmother.

At this moment, Madam Xie and Xie Yuexi had already left the ward, leaving only the old lady and Xie Jinghuai inside.

"Grandma!" Jiang Shiyuan, carrying heavy objects in both hands, struggled to open the door.

"Ah Yuan... Ah Yuan is here..."

The old lady was quite ill this time, and her spirits were noticeably lower than before, but she was still visibly happy to see Jiang Shiyuan. "You brat, are you blind? Your wife is carrying so many bags... and you don't even go to lend a hand..."

Others are always the ones who have to read Xie's face; Xie has no such insight.

Only after hearing his grandmother's words did he realize what was happening. He got up and walked to Jiang Shiyuan, bending down to take the things from her hands, but she dodged him, her tone cold:

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Xie Jinghuai sensed her rejection, his brows furrowed in frustration, and he lowered his voice:

"Don't throw a tantrum in front of Grandma. Hmm?"

Jiang Shiyuan's pale pink lips parted slightly, but before she could speak, the man forcefully snatched the things from her hands. She struggled to carry them, but he did so with ease.

"Why did you buy all this junk again? We have plenty at home. Don't you know the Xie family has a private doctor and a professional dietitian? How could Grandma eat this kind of stuff?" Xie Jinghuai couldn't help but complain.

Actually, his intention was not to let Jiang Shi spend unnecessary money; it was enough that he brought people.

But he was used to belittling and being mean to her, so the words he spoke were distorted and unpleasant to hear.

Jiang Shiyuan scoffed, "Mr. Xie's office doesn't have a paper shredder, does it?"

Xie Jinghuai was slightly taken aback. "What?"

"Your mouth is chattering enough."

"..." The man's handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ignoring his annoyed expression, Jiang Shiyuan walked to the old lady's bedside and sat down, tenderly holding the old lady's hand:

"Grandma, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better now... Don't worry too much. I'm getting old, and my body gets irritable every few days... I have to go to the factory for repairs every now and then." The old lady joked, her laughter weak.

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened. "Grandma, is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll make it for you when I get back."

"I don't have much of an appetite, but you should bring me some food often... maybe that will improve my appetite."

Jiang Shiyuan readily agreed, "Then I'll come to see you often."

The old lady smiled kindly and squeezed her hand, "You must come with Jinghuai..."

Jiang Shiyuan paused for a moment, but Xie Jinghuai, standing behind her, readily agreed:

"If you want to see us, Grandma, I will come to see you with A-Yuan."

Ah Yuan...

Jiang Shiyuan felt a chill run down her spine.

She didn't see this as a gesture of goodwill or intimacy; she only felt that he was harboring ill intentions and scheming.

"Okay...Grandma doesn't ask for anything else, she just hopes that you two will live a good life with Tongtong in the future."

The old lady glared sternly at Xie Jinghuai. "From now on, you'd better settle down completely. Don't let any of those filthy, vile people get close to you. If you ever betray Ayuan again, I'll skin you alive! I'll never acknowledge you as my son again!"

"Grandma, I've said it more than once, you've really misunderstood me."

Xie Jinghuai sighed helplessly, bent down his strong, narrow waist, and gently placed his hands on Jiang Shiyuan's thin shoulders, his fingers gradually tightening. "I can swear to God, I swear to my late grandfather, that there has never been another woman in my heart."

Jiang Shiyuan trembled in shock. Her shoulder muscles stiffened as the man's warm, dry hand gripped her firmly. She could even feel Xie Jinghuai tightening his arms and pulling her back, as if he were hugging her from behind.

She bit her lip, her body ramrod straight, defying him.

However, there is a significant power imbalance between men and women.

Xie Jinghuai let out a low chuckle, easily taking her under his control.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Shiyuan's smooth forehead. The masculine abdominal muscles and the metal belt buckle were digging into her skin. She flinched slightly, feeling intense anxiety inside, as if the skin and flesh on her back were about to burst open.

"Oh my...you brat, so you mean you only have my Ayuan in your heart?" The old lady was overjoyed.

Xie Jinghuai looked down at her, smiling faintly without saying a word.

Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath, mustered all her strength, and leaned forward, pulling herself out of his embrace.

The man raised an eyebrow and suddenly suggested, "Grandma, it's rather stuffy staying in the ward. The sun looks nice today, and it's not cold outside. How about Ah Yuan and I accompany you for a walk and soak up some sun?"

Actually, the old lady wasn't in much spirits, but she rarely saw the young couple having such a harmonious moment, and wanted to create more opportunities for them to spend time together, so she immediately agreed.

Xie Jinghuai helped the old lady into her wheelchair, and Aunt Feng helped her get dressed.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Shiyuan pulled Xie Jinghuai into the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, her expression changed, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise:

"Xie Jinghuai, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"What are you doing?" The man's phoenix eyes were deep and narrowed, his cold jawline seemed to soften a bit.

“You have already signed the divorce agreement. Even if we haven’t completed the formalities, we are no longer husband and wife.”

Jiang Shiyuan leaned against the cold tiled wall, looking up to meet his unusually bright eyes in her drowsy state. "Is it appropriate for you to lay hands on me in front of Grandma?"

"In front of Grandma, you and I are still husband and wife."

Xie Jinghuai raised a slight brow at the corner of his narrow eyes, and suddenly braced his left arm against the side of her head, trapping her beneath him. "Is there something inappropriate?"
