Chapter 33 See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:00 AM

Jiang Shiyuan froze upon seeing the scene before her.

The words "sexy female secretary having an affair with male boss in the office" flashed past her eyes like a huge, bold bullet screen.

Looking at Lin Zhixin's outfit today, which was full of sexual innuendo, she suddenly felt that it was a real shame that she didn't go into the sex industry.

"Ah... Sister, what brings you here?" Lin Zhixin looked surprised, but didn't move an inch.

Even more provocative.

"Jiang Shiyuan, who gave you permission to enter my office without permission?"

Xie Jinghuai's handsome face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't move at all. "Also, do you even know the rules? Don't you know to knock before coming in?"

Get out of here right now!

Jiang Shiyuan certainly knew.

For the past five years, she not only had to knock on the door, but when she went to the study to find her husband, she also had to walk as quietly as a cat, without making a sound.

Now that she doesn't even care about Xie Jinghuai anymore, why would she care about any rules?

Jiang Shiyuan not only went out, but went straight to the sofa, sat down slowly, and looked at the couple who had failed in their attempt to have an affair with a half-smile.

"Jiang Shiyuan, I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?" Xie Jinghuai stared coldly at her, his phoenix eyes flashing with anger.

“The one who should leave is not me, but Miss Lin.” Jiang Shiyuan’s red lips slightly curved upwards, her posture dignified, befitting an empress.

Lin Zhixin pursed her lips in resentment.

They took advantage of her resemblance to a palace maid who failed to seduce the emperor and was caught red-handed by the empress.

"Zhixin came over to discuss business with me. She is now the director of the R&D department."

Xie Jinghuai disliked her rebellious attitude, and his voice grew increasingly cold and hard, "You are not a member of the Xie Group, and you have no right to order my people around."

My people.

Lin Zhixin's cheeks flushed with shyness, her heart pounding.

"Business, to be discussed under a man's crotch?" Jiang Shiyuan laughed, her bright eyes and beautiful features both striking and wicked.

The man's expression, usually indifferent, came alive at this moment—a vibrant display of anger.

"Jiang Shiyuan—!"

The next second, with a thud, she threw a bright red notebook onto the coffee table.

Above it were the three large characters "Marriage Certificate," which stung Lin Zhixin's eyes!

"Am I qualified this time?"

Jiang Shiyuan smiled radiantly, her beautiful eyes revealing no trace of emotion. "Now, as Mrs. Xie, I order Miss Lin to leave immediately. Miss Lin, do you have any objections?"

I advise you to sneak out quietly. After all, your brother Jinghuai just clarified things for you a few days ago; don't let his good intentions go to waste.

Lin Zhixin trembled, staring intently at the woman's stunningly beautiful face.

However, Xie Jinghuai's expression softened somewhat, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Zhixin, you should go back now."

Lin Zhixin's face flushed red with anger and resentment, but Jiang Shiyuan had her at his mercy, so she could only leave the office.

The door closed, and Xie Jinghuai leaned back, his thin lips curving into a cold, mocking smile.

"I haven't seen you for five years, what's this all about today?"

He naturally interpreted her current behavior as yielding and submission.

She loved him deeply; she couldn't bear to leave him, couldn't bear to give up her status as Mrs. Xie. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly come looking for him today. Isn't this a sign of jealousy and a sense of crisis?

Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at the nearly empty snacks on the coffee table. The cute and exquisite packaging was clearly made by Lin Zhixin.

I remember last year, the pastries she spilled all over the floor and were trampled to pieces.

She was still out of control, a pang of sadness rising in her heart.

"It's been almost a month, when are you going to sign the divorce papers?" Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and asked with a cold expression.

Xie Jinghuai's brows furrowed, and he scoffed coldly, "You came all this way just to tell me this?"

"Besides this, is there any need for me to meet with you again?"

Jiang Shiyuan narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and looked around. "President Xie, your office is nice, but it would be great if there was a big bed, otherwise it would hinder your performance."

Xie Jinghuai laughed in exasperation, "Jiang Shiyuan, paranoia is an illness, it needs treatment!"

Jiang Shiyuan ignored his sarcasm, "Shouldn't you have signed the divorce agreement by now?"

"I tore it up." Xie Jinghuai said nonchalantly.

You like tearing things apart, huh? I guessed it.

Jiang Shiyuan remained silent for a moment, then pulled a thick stack of divorce papers from her bag, placed them on the coffee table, and pushed them in front of him:

"Contact me after you sign. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

Xie Jinghuai stared at the stack of white papers, a flame igniting in his dark eyes. "Grandma's health has just improved, and you're bringing up divorce at this crucial moment? Don't you want Grandma to recover?"

Jiang Shiyuan remained calm: "I've thought it over. Since the outside world is unaware of our marriage, we might as well complete the formalities first. As for Grandma and your mother, we can leave it at that for now. We'll find a suitable opportunity to tell Grandma after her condition stabilizes."

I will leave with nothing; I don't own any of your property, vehicles, or Xie's shares. I also won't fight you for custody of Tongtong.

It's just a matter of getting a stamp tomorrow; it won't take Mr. Xie too long.

"Heh...you really are very thoughtful."

Xie Jinghuai hadn't noticed because he was caught up in his emotions, but now he suddenly realized that Jiang Shiyuan seemed a little different today...

She wore red lipstick and makeup, which made her skin appear even more like a clear, snow-white color, as delicate as cream.

Normally plain and simple, but now she is bright and beautiful, with a restrained yet gentle charm.

Xie Jinghuai looked at her, his eyes darkening, but his thin lips curled into a smile.

She suddenly came to see him today, and even dressed up specially. To put it bluntly, wasn't she just trying to please him?

In fact, she had already given in, but he didn't give her a way out, so she was still being stubborn with him.

But he wouldn't give her that chance.

In this marriage, he was the one in a superior position.

Those in positions of power do not bow their heads.

Thinking of this, Xie Jinghuai's expression returned to its usual indifference, and he fiddled with his sapphire cufflinks with his slender fingers. "Go back to Guanlan Garden tonight. Tongtong said she wants to eat your cooking."

"I've compiled a recipe for Tongtong's favorite dishes, and I'll send it to Butler Ning when I get back."

As she spoke, Jiang Shiyuan stood up nimbly and decisively. "Miss Lin's cooking skills are also quite good. Let her do it. I think Tongtong would rather see her than me."

Xie Jinghuai's handsome face hardened, and his phoenix eyes gradually narrowed.

Jiang Shiyuan thought that she would feel very sad and bitter when she said these words.

But it seems that the feeling isn't as strong as before.

"You should have known when we got married that my heart wouldn't be with you. Marrying me was your own choice."

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was about to leave, the man suddenly crossed his long legs and spoke coldly, "Five years, haven't you always endured this? You tolerated it before, why can't you tolerate it now?"
