The next day
Xie Huanyu woke up from her drowsy state and felt inexplicably annoyed when she realized that she had actually slept on the sofa last night.
Xu Yanshu actually let me sleep here?
When Xie Huanyu looked up, she found that Xu Yanshu was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Her face darkened and she immediately stood up from the sofa.
Xie Huanyu pulled out a chair, crossed her arms, and ordered imperiously, "A glass of honey water!"
Xu Yanshu hadn't intended to pay any attention, but noticing the woman's pale face, he turned and went to the kitchen, pondering how to start the conversation.
The divorce is inevitable; the question is how to do it. He doesn't want to create an awkward situation for both of them unless absolutely necessary.
After all, the Xie family had helped the father and son a lot back then, and without Xie Junshan's financial assistance for tuition, he might not have been able to finish university smoothly.
In recent years, Xie Junshan has spared no effort in maintaining his public image.
Given Xie Huanyu's arrogant personality, she certainly wouldn't easily agree if he took the initiative to propose a divorce.
When Xu Yanshu turned around and returned to the dining table with the honey water, he saw Xie Huanyu chatting happily on her phone. The woman's smiling face made him slightly lost in thought.
When he first met Xie Huanyu at the Xie family home, she was smiling so sweetly, and it was then that she unexpectedly entered his heart.
Unfortunately, such a smile has never belonged to me, neither in the past nor now.
Noticing the man's gaze, Xie Huanyu immediately composed herself and turned her phone face down on the table.
She instinctively reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, Xu Yanshu had already brought the honey water to her lips.
It's obvious who she was chatting with just now!
Xu Yanshu felt an indescribable disgust. Forget about liking her, this woman didn't even have the most basic respect for him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cheated on him so blatantly.
This person...
Xie Huanyu was about to lash out, but remembering the promise she had just made to Lu Huai, she could only sheepishly withdraw her hand.
"The project team is hiring right now, and Ah Huai is looking for a job. Let him work in your department!"
So she successfully kept Lu Huai here? No wonder she was smiling so brightly just now!
Xu Yanshu's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded gently, "Okay, I understand!"
He had already written his resignation letter and would leave the Xie Group after the divorce, so it didn't matter who she put into the company.
Xie Huanyu was somewhat surprised that the other party agreed so readily, and unconsciously tried to make amends, saying...
"Don't get me wrong, Ah Huai and I are just ordinary friends now."
Um?
Xu Yanshu looked at Xie Huanyu with some suspicion. The young lady had always done things her own way, so why was she offering an explanation today?
"So, if my dad asks, just say you arranged it!"
So she wants me to take the blame for her!
Xu Yanshu chuckled softly, his tongue brushing against his back teeth, before looking up at Xie Huanyu intently.
"Is there anything you're hiding from me?" Putting down his coffee cup, Xu Yanshu looked up at the woman sitting opposite him without blinking.
Although he already knew, he still hoped that Xie Huanyu would give him an explanation in person, so that he wouldn't feel sorry for them as husband and wife.
"What...what could I possibly be hiding from you?"
Xie Huanyu felt a moment of guilt, but then realized the questioning tone in the other person's voice. Her expression immediately turned indignant, and she retorted irritably, "Xu Yanshu, can you stop being so petty?"
"I did date Ah Huai, but that's all in the past. Besides, I'm already married to you. What more do you want?"
Yes, it's already a great favor that Miss Xie has condescended to marry him. How could he possibly demand loyalty from her?
Not wanting to waste any more time, Xu Yanshu slammed the glass he was holding onto the table, then grabbed his briefcase and left.
If we were to say what his biggest mistake in life was, it was that he easily believed Xie Huanyu's words at the time, "Let's cultivate feelings slowly," which led him to have excessive expectations for this marriage.
As it turns out, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he doesn't love her, he simply doesn't love her; he was destined never to warm Xie Huanyu's heart.
As he arrived at the garage and prepared to get into his car, a voice came from behind him.
"Wait, I'll go with you!"
Xu Yanshu paused slightly, turned around, and saw Xie Huanyu walking towards him in high heels. He was a little puzzled, "Chairman Xie won't be going to the company today!"
Except for putting on an act in front of Xie Junshan, Xie Huanyu never hid her dislike for herself, even in public.
After Lu Huai expressed jealousy and discomfort over their daily interactions at the company, she insisted that she maintain a social distance of at least two meters from him in public.
Xie Huanyu had just stopped to catch her breath when she was choked half to death by these words.
She unconsciously wanted to retort, but remembering the demands she had made earlier, she swallowed her words, walked past the man, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
This woman!
Xu Yanshu pursed his lips unhappily, and seeing that there was no time left, he didn't bother to say anything more, walked around the front of the car and sat in the other driver's seat.
The Maybach started slowly.
"I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have gone drinking. I'll never do it again!" Xie Huanyu broke the silence.
Xu Yanshu curled her lips indifferently, "Weren't you going to entertain business partners?"
"you……"
Seeing Xie Huanyu's displeased expression, Xu Yanshu shook his head almost imperceptibly. The young lady probably thought that as long as she showed the slightest weakness, he would immediately coax her.
He did dislike Xie Huanyu drinking, but compared to her ordering him to take her to Lu Huai in the middle of the night, it was nothing.
"Xu Yanshu, I..."
Xie Huanyu spoke again to herself, but unfortunately, her phone rang at that moment.
【My dear Huai】
Xu Yanshu easily saw the note on the screen, then quietly watched Xie Huanyu answer the phone.
"Hey, Ah Huai!"
"I'm in a bad mood right now, Yu Bao, can you come and keep me company?"
