I pushed open the double doors to the CEO's office with all my might, and what came into view was an ambiguous scene.
A girl wearing a shirt and a short pencil skirt sat in the lap of a man in a suit, her arms draped around his neck.
Upon seeing me, she quickly stood up from the man's arms.
This man is none other than the son-in-law of Shengshi Group, my husband, Fu Yanshen.
Seeing him again, all the anger and grievances I had suffered in my past life rushed towards me from all directions.
I glared at him hatefully.
His dark eyes glanced at me indifferently before he lowered his head to straighten his clothes.
"Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand. I just twisted my ankle and almost fell, but Mr. Fu caught me in time!"
The girl's anxious voice distracted me.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked very sincere.
If I hadn't been reborn, I would have actually believed her.
This was the first time I really looked at her.
She has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, red lips and white teeth, a high ponytail, a petite frame, and a curvaceous figure.
Her name is Shi Xia. She is Fu Yanshen's childhood sweetheart. After graduating from university, she was parachuted into the CEO's office and became his assistant.
In my past life, I thought Fu Yanshen only treated her as a younger sister and didn't take her seriously.
It wasn't until he appeared before me with her in his arms, wanting a divorce, that I realized they had long been in love and were mutually attracted to each other.
It was only then that I understood why, after five years of marriage, I had never been able to warm his heart.
I, a rich young lady, am merely a stepping stone for him, born into a poor family, to cross social classes.
I swallowed my hatred and glared at the girl in front of me. "Get lost!"
She visibly flinched, her face turning deathly pale as she stared wide-eyed at the man sitting upright.
Fu Yanshen frowned, looking at me with displeasure.
He's upset that I hurt his sweetheart.
I glared at him.
He avoided my gaze, and when he looked at Shi Xia, his expression softened. "Shi Xia, you go and do your work first."
"Don't wear such high heels next time."
He then stared at Shi Xia's high heels and gave her a word of advice.
He was so attentive and considerate to his childhood sweetheart in front of me; you can imagine how heartwarming he must be in private.
Fu Yanshen is also very considerate to me. Every year on my birthday, he never forgets to send me flowers and gifts.
However, it was all because I had to coax and pester him beforehand.
I still remember his grumpy face and impatience every time he gave me a gift.
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
After Shi Xia finished speaking, she glanced at me, lowered her head, and quickly walked towards the door.
Soon, only Fu Yanshen and I were left in the huge office.
"Shi Xia is my sister, so you should be more polite to her in the future."
He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and glanced at me through the wisps of smoke, his tone indifferent.
His imposing presence, even without anger, made him seem like a high and mighty king.
I shudder at the memory of his ruthless and decisive actions against my family in his past life.
But I was reborn.
Reborn in the third year of our marriage, he is now just a president who has been promoted by my father.
I shouldn't be afraid of him.
"Bringing lunch again?" Fu Yanshen glanced at his watch and asked casually.
"Smack!"
Hearing his impatient tone, I slammed the brown file folder onto his desk.
"Fu Yanshen, I want a divorce."
Delivering food?
He'll be left to starve.
I'm not going to be this stepping stone anymore.
Fu Yanshen was clearly taken aback.
He tilted his sharply defined jawline, squinted at me, and slowly opened the file folder.
The office was so quiet that only the sound of turning pages could be heard.
He flipped through the divorce agreement page by page with his long, well-defined fingers.
After some time, he got up and walked to a machine.
The mechanical sound of the machine repeatedly shattered the divorce agreement into pieces.
"you--!"
I stomped my feet in anger.
Fu Yanshen, a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked up to me, looking down at me with an air of nonchalance.
He slowly raised his hand and touched my cheek.
The calluses on my palms rubbed against my skin like sandpaper, and my rough fingertips caressed my lips.
"Is this a protest against me for neglecting you and leaving you alone in an empty room lately?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice hoarse, and as he spoke, smoke billowed onto my face, the smell of cigarettes thick and strong.
The lust rising in his eyes bewitched me.
I couldn't help but swallow hard. He pinched my chin, his handsome, wicked face pressing down on me forcefully.
The instant his thin lips brushed against mine, I abruptly turned my face away and swung the small sachet in my hand, smashing it against his arm.
"Don't touch me!"
I'm annoyed with myself for being unable to resist being attracted to him.
"Fu Yanshen, I'm serious about getting a divorce!"
He doesn't believe I want a divorce.
They thought I was angry because he hadn't come home for half a month and was throwing a tantrum.
"Sheng Qiaoqiao, I'm very busy, I don't have time to mess around with you."
Fu Yanshen also regained his composure and said to me seriously.
I straightened my back. "You, surnamed Fu, I'll say it again: I want a divorce!"
He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips, "Reason?"
I relaxed my tense body, gave a mocking smirk, and wore an arrogant expression.
"We've been married for three years, haven't we? I've realized I'm already tired of you."
In this second life, I'll show him that he's nothing more than a toy that this pampered young lady has grown tired of.
Fu Yanshen's face gradually darkened, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
A pair of deep, dark eyes stared straight at me.
Clearly, I angered him.
If I were to divorce him now, I would only be hindering his promising future.
Seeing him like that, I felt extremely pleased.
"I have a copy of the divorce agreement. Find some time to get the divorce formalities done! Stop pestering me like a mangy dog!"
I rolled my eyes at him, said that, and strode towards the door.
That mangy dog, that's how he mocked me in his past life too.
In my past life, he used me and then abandoned me, wanting to divorce me.
I couldn't swallow this insult, so I made a huge scene with him and leaked his extramarital affair to reporters. When it was exposed, Xia Zhisan became the other woman and clung to me, refusing to get a divorce.
At that moment, he pinched my chin and said, "Sheng Qiaoqiao, do you know that you look like a mangy dog right now?"
...
At that time, I was also very resentful. "Fu Yanshen! I'm a rich young lady who helped you rise to prominence. What do I have that I can't compare to that poor girl?"
