"Xiaoling, let's go. We're not taking this order."
Jiang Xue turned and left without hesitation; she wasn't about to shamelessly ask him for it.
Gu Xiaoling quickly gestured to Ji Chen with her eyes, but still echoed Jiang Xue's words.
"Let's not take it. There are plenty of people willing to do this kind of short-term, simple job." Ji Chen didn't back down and followed Gu Xiaohei's plan without hesitation.
Jiang Xue ignored him and hurried towards the bus stop without looking back.
When Ji Chen saw that Jiang Xue had really left, the corner of his mouth twitched. Could it be that she really was a blockhead? Didn't she know how to act cute and soft-hearted? He would definitely have handed the order to her without saying a word.
"Hey, where are you going?" Ji Chen couldn't help but call out to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue walked forward angrily without stopping, "Move away. I feel disgusted living with someone like you."
Ji Chen's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he muttered to Gu Xiaohei, "She said I'm disgusting?"
Gu Xiaohei nodded, completely bewildered. "I didn't know it was like this either."
Ji Chen gritted his teeth in anger, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
He hurriedly caught up with Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue didn't feel much. She thought that since the marriage was in name only, it should have ended long ago, and she actually expected him to help her.
Although she had helped a lot before, since the two of them were even, she had taken care of the child.
"What are you doing? I was just joking." Ji Chen walked up and grabbed Jiang Xue's arm.
Gu Xiaoling pursed her lips and watched the two people who were about to have a story unfold. She quietly and silently withdrew from between them and went to the construction site to find her brother.
Jiang Xue was still secretly angry. He had actually made a veiled insult at her and didn't know how to respect others at all. She wasn't going to pay any attention to him.
She subtly pouted, her eyes revealing a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.
Ji Chen noticed Jiang Xue's slight mood and suppressed his laughter, "I'll make it for you. We'll sign the contract now. I was just teasing you earlier."
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at Ji Chen, but she didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all. "Okay, let's sign the contract now."
"Okay, sign now." Ji Chen pursed his lips and secretly glanced at Jiang Xue, seeing her instantly beam with joy. She really was a little money-grubber.
"Would you like me to take you to my office?"
Jiang Xue's pupils dilated in shock. "You actually set up an office? Aren't you just a simple construction team?"
Ji Chen smiled without saying a word, "Come on, I'll give you a ride on my bike."
As Jiang Xue sat on the back of Ji Chen's bicycle, the thought of divorce suddenly flashed through her mind. But for some reason, she didn't really want a divorce anymore, and she didn't want to mention it.
Jiang Xue looked at the office space, which was neither too big nor too small, consisting of only two small cubicles. Although it was small, it had all the necessary functions.
"Are you on your way to becoming a millionaire?" Jiang Xue teased Ji Chen, glancing at the construction progress chart hanging on the wall.
"Become a tycoon, and I'll give you a huge fortune," Ji Chen said, gazing intently at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue felt like someone was watching her, and she turned her head uncomfortably to look.
Their eyes met, and the withered yellow leaves of the sycamore trees outside rustled in the wind.
Jiang Xue's fair face flushed, and she lowered her head as if her heartbeat had stopped.
Ji Chen stared intently at Jiang Xue. He didn't know why, but Jiang Xue's image kept flashing through his mind, and he felt even more attached to her. No woman had ever made him feel this way before.
"Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
