Xie Huanyu drove Lu Huai home directly. The two of them didn't say a word the whole way until it was time for Lu Huai to get out of the car.
"Yu Bao, have you fallen for Xu Yanshu?"
"I... how could that be!" Xie Huanyu's expression faltered for a moment when Lu Huai suddenly asked this question, but she immediately denied it, saying, "You know how much I hate him."
"Then why don't you agree to divorce him?!" Lu Huai stared intently at the woman, his tone revealing his disappointment.
"That's so I can keep tormenting him. He used moral blackmail to force me to marry him, so why should he be able to get a divorce now? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
As she said this, Xie Huanyu's eyes began to flicker.
Previously, whenever Xu Yanshu brought up divorce, she would feel extremely angry and even think that he was deliberately humiliating her. In short, she was determined not to easily agree to a divorce.
Xie Huanyu was surprised that Ah Huai would interpret this as her falling in love with Xu Yanshu. She found it absurd and felt inexplicably flustered.
Surely she wouldn't be so tasteless as to fall for Xu Yanshu? No, she subconsciously dismissed the thought; it was absolutely impossible.
Taking in the changes in Xie Huanyu's expression, Lu Huai confirmed his suspicions, and his eyes flickered unconsciously.
This woman has indeed fallen for Xu Yanshu, but she hasn't realized it yet, so he still has a chance to turn the tables.
"And what about me? Yu Bao, I believe you can see that I still like you, and I'm not willing to just be your friend."
Confess your feelings before she realizes your true feelings, and when it comes time to make a choice, she might unconsciously lean towards you.
Xie Huanyu's thoughts were in disarray, and this question made her feel very awkward.
"Ah Huai, we..."
"Well, I know it all too well," Lu Huai chuckled self-deprecatingly, a hint of dejection on his face. "At the end of the day, I'm just a divorced man now."
"How could I possibly be worthy of you, so..."
Xie Huanyu frowned slightly, looking at the man with a sad expression, her tone full of disappointment, "Ah Huai, how could you think like that? Do you really think I'm such a materialistic woman?"
“If I didn’t care about you, why would I go to all that trouble to negotiate a partnership for the Lu Group? I thought you understood that.”
"I...I'm sorry, I was too greedy, I actually dared to dream that you would belong to me alone!" The man hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said.
Xie Huanyu hesitated, wanting to comfort the other person but unsure of what to say.
They had indeed loved each other deeply, and Ah Huai was still very important to her, but she never thought of divorcing Xu Yanshu because of it.
Seeing Ah Huai always treating Xu Yanshu with utmost politeness, she assumed that he had begun to let go of the past, but she never expected...
So for the time being, she didn't know how to respond to Ah Huai's confession.
After a moment of silence, Lu Huai suddenly opened the car door and got out.
"I'm going in now, be careful on your way."
Watching the man's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xie Huanyu's emotions were once again thrown into disarray, and she unconsciously gripped the steering wheel tighter...
——
The next morning, Xu Yanshu was somewhat taken aback when he saw Xie Huanyu sitting in the living room.
Yesterday, she left the sanatorium with Lu Huai, and he subconsciously assumed that Xie Huanyu would definitely not come home all night again, so he went to bed early.
She was still wearing her pajamas, so Xie Huanyu came back last night?
Xie Huanyu quickly sensed the man's gaze. She unconsciously raised her head, but after seeing Xu Yanshu, she awkwardly looked away.
Ah Huai's guess is too outrageous. She and Xu Yanshu are from completely different worlds. How could she possibly like him?
She spent the whole night agonizing over this issue, and couldn't help but think of what Ah Huai had said later. She tossed and turned all night without closing her eyes.
"I have an appointment with a business partner to discuss some matters outside today, so I won't be going to the company!"
Xu Yanshu suddenly came to his senses and nodded knowingly.
"Okay, I understand!"
His calm attitude and tone surprised him. He had thought that Xie Huanyu was waiting here early in the morning to settle scores with him on behalf of Lu Huai, but now it seemed that he had worried too much.
Thinking that it was getting late, Xu Yanshu didn't waste any more time and immediately turned around to go out.
Just like that, you left?
Xie Huanyu frowned in displeasure, but couldn't help calling out to the man.
Although I always believed that Xu Yanshu's repeated mentions of divorce were just to get my attention, upon closer reflection, this man does seem to have changed quite a bit.
The most obvious example is his attitude and tone towards himself.
In the past, no matter how late she came home, Xu Yanshu would prepare a late-night snack and a bath for her in advance, waiting for her to return.
She arrived home at 10:30 last night, and Xu Yanshu was already asleep.
She rummaged through the shoe cabinet for a long time before finally finding her favorite slippers. In the past, Xu Yanshu would prepare these little things for herself in advance.
Xu Yanshu turned around, puzzled, and asked,
"Is there anything else?"
"I... don't forget the high-level meeting this afternoon, have Xiao Yang notify everyone in advance!"
Xie Huanyu couldn't explain why she had called out to Xu Yanshu. Her mind went blank for a moment, and in her panic, she made up a reason on the spot.
The meeting was notified long ago, and why didn't she just talk to Xiao Yang directly?
Xu Yanshu felt something was strange, but because he was in a hurry, he didn't think much of it, agreed, and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Xie Huanyu sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time. After she came to her senses, she picked up the makeup mirror and looked at herself.
His dark circles were particularly striking, and his complexion was very pale, clearly indicating severe sleep deprivation.
Xu Yanshu couldn't possibly have been unaware of this, so why didn't he ask a single question?!
Xie Huanyu felt a little lost, so could he really want to divorce her...? As she guessed, she subconsciously shook her head.
How could that be? Xu Yanshu is completely devoted to me. He was even jealous of Ah Huai just a few days ago. How could he really want to divorce me?
Why worry about this?
Xie Huanyu muttered to herself, and seeing that it was almost time to leave, she immediately got up and went into the dressing room.
