As for his dark expression at this moment, it's probably because Yan Zhi filed for divorce first, and Leng Linli lost face. He felt that the satisfaction of revenge wasn't enough since he hadn't thoroughly humiliated her before the divorce.
Leng Linli's face darkened; he hadn't expected Yan Zhi to retort to his words.
Instantly, Leng Linli felt his authority was challenged. Did this woman not understand him?
He subtly tugged at the tie around his neck, his cold and sharp demeanor tinged with a hint of irritation.
Yan Zhi could see his impatience with the naked eye.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his every gesture exuding nobility. His handsome yet thin lips parted slightly, each word dripping with sarcasm and indifference:
"You're backing out so quickly? I warned you before we got the marriage certificate that there's no precedent for divorce in my Leng family, only widowhood. Wasn't that your choice? Now you want to leave? I can teach you three ways: either I die, or you die, or we both die. When you used Grandma's compassion to force me to marry you, didn't you think about this day? Now you're bringing up divorce to try and kill Grandma? What are you really up to?"
Speaking of her grandmother, Yan Zhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
You can't just pick up a man on the street, nor can you just pick up an old person on the street. Ever since she picked up the grandmother, she has become an unforgivable villain.
She never coerced or lied to her grandmother.
Yan Zhi was already tired of explaining.
She said it, more than once.
He didn't believe it, not every single time.
Leng Linli had already condemned her, and saying anything more would be pointless. If thinking this way would make him feel a little better, then let Leng Linli think that way. Yan Zhi didn't want to waste any more effort trying to save his values.
Yan Zhi's silence at this moment was undoubtedly seen by Leng Linli as a guilty acquiescence.
Looking at the woman in front of him calmly bringing up divorce, Leng Linli began to feel uneasy. Why should she?
What makes her so special?!
With a slight twitch of his nose, Leng Linli ripped off his slightly loosened tie and unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt.
He took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over the armrest of the chair.
I stood up, trying to calm my restlessness.
Yan Zhi stared blankly at the cold, stern figure in a black shirt not far away.
That figure... is amazing.
Tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a hint of chest peeking out from under a slightly open collar... any one of these features is enough to tempt one to commit a crime.
And he is particularly suited to black.
With that figure in a suit, plus that aloof and noble face that seems untouched by worldly affairs, he exudes an overwhelming sense of asceticism.
Yan Zhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder he has such a deceptive face; it's no wonder he was able to fool her back then."
If none of those things had happened, she would definitely be head over heels for him by now.
Now, I only feel lingering fear.
Yan Zhi smiled slowly, not angry at all, and said calmly: "The fact that there is no precedent for divorce in the Leng family does not mean that divorce is not possible. President Leng really has no reason to be tied to me for life out of spite. Bai Lian is still waiting for you. I have already shown my sincerity. If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy for President Leng to get a divorce next time. President Leng is a shrewd businessman, and I am sure he will make the right choice."
Leng Linli frowned, wishing he could strangle this woman. At this moment, "Impulsiveness" was an understatement to describe his feelings: "You want a divorce that badly?"
Hearing Leng Linli's sharp retort, Yan Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Bai Lian had once told her, "Now we're just waiting for you to sign. As long as you sign the divorce papers, my brother and I can get our marriage certificate."
At that moment, Yan Zhi seemed to see Leng Linli getting a divorce certificate with her one day and then getting a marriage certificate with Bai Lian the next, just like an assembly line, which was incredibly ironic.
Hearing Bai Lian say that, the person who is so eager to get a divorce must be Leng Linli!
Yan Zhi concealed the smile at the corner of her lips, remaining neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm not in such a hurry, but considering Bai Lian, it's you who urgently needs a divorce, right? I'm just being understanding and considerate of you. If you and she aren't in a hurry, I can wait a bit, after all, my..." There was no one named Bai Lian behind her urging her to get married.
"Divorce? I brought it up?"
Leng Linli interrupted Yan Zhi's next words, then a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "Secretary Yan, you've been having a wild night of passion lately, and your memory is all messed up."
Yan Zhi was still smiling slightly on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling a bit bitter inside.
How dare Leng Linli call that a night of passion? Wasn't it just him deliberately forcing her to the point of death to vent his own desires?
Hmm... Leng Linli and she did have in-depth conversations.
More than once.
Yan Zhi's lips curved into a mocking smile.
They didn't have much affection for each other, but they did have quite a few deep conversations.
During those days of deep communication, Yan Zhi couldn't understand why Leng Linli's white moonlight was sleeping next door. How could Leng Linli be so impulsive and not afraid that his white moonlight would be jealous?
“Spring Night…” Yan Zhi murmured those two words lightly.
The next second, he laughed: "Mr. Leng, you call that... a spring night?"
Leng Linli was somewhat intimidated by Yan Zhi's smile. Regardless of what Yan Zhi meant, Leng Linli was indeed annoyed by her sarcastic remarks and asked in a cold voice, "What's the problem?"
Yan Zhi smiled and casually uttered a few words: "The service was inadequate, and the experience was poor."
How dare you!
How dare she utter such treasonous words!
His cold, sharp eyes narrowed, his jaw tightened, and before Yan Zhi could react, he strode forward, grabbed her chin, and said threateningly, "Try saying that again!"
Yan Zhi was not surprised by Leng Linli's reaction, but she was not afraid at all and remained calm throughout.
Why be afraid? If things don't go well, she can just pack her things and leave.
A man, if he's gone, you can find another. A job, if you're gone, you can find another.
You must never compromise yourself.
Love is always just the icing on the cake.
Having it is naturally good. Not having it isn't necessarily bad.
Yan Zhi's smile deepened, whether intentionally or not, she deliberately chose words that could provoke Leng Linli: "Mr. Leng, are you a sore loser?"
Leng Linli felt a tightness in his chest, a surge of anger pressing down on him that he couldn't vent. His face was even darker than Bao Gong's. He was determined to be driven to his death by Yan Zhi's words sooner or later.
Can't this woman just go along with him like she used to?
Why do I have to contradict him every single time?
Leng Linli took another step closer to Yan Zhi.
