Chapter 498 Don't touch her with your dirty hands
The wispy ends of his hair seemed to brush against Chu Yuexuan's heart, the itch spreading little by little, gradually turning into an indescribable stinging pain, yet he could not find the source of the pain.
Chu Yuexuan was somewhat dazed and couldn't help but start thinking.
When was the last time he saw Xia Zhiying so happy? The memory was too distant, and he only remembered it when he stepped down the steps in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It seemed to be the day he and Xia Zhiying got married.
But he doubted that he was remembering correctly. In his memory, Xia Zhiying was always dull, submissive to the point of being boring, and even made him instinctively trample on and insult her. Her only personality seemed to have only recently emerged.
He suddenly realized that he had never truly understood Xia Zhiying.
As Xia Zhiying stepped down the last step, her back turned as if she were about to disappear completely from his life, Chu Yuexuan felt a sudden sense of panic and couldn't help but call out to her, "Xia Zhiying!"
As he spoke, he instinctively frowned, unable to comprehend how such a rough voice could come from his mouth.
Xia Zhiying, who was standing on the steps, turned around as he wished. The smile on her face quickly disappeared when she faced him, and she said indifferently, "Is there anything else you need to tell me, Mr. Chu? I have already completed the handover procedures for the company, and I have also settled my affairs with Miss Yu. From now on, we are even."
Both sides cleared up?
When Chu Yuexuan heard those two words, his heart suddenly felt empty, and he felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.
He looked down at the woman below, who seemed completely at ease and had no lingering feelings. The sunlight was shining on her, but she felt no warmth at all, and even her feet felt cold.
His throat tightened, and the concern that slipped out surprised even himself: "Where are you planning to move to? Your things..."
Xia Zhiying's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she gave a sarcastic smirk: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will have someone go and pack my things and take them away as soon as possible. But actually, I don't have much stuff there, so Mr. Chu doesn't need to worry that I will continue to pester you."
Chu Yuexuan was momentarily speechless; that was clearly not what he meant.
But he finds it difficult to explain.
His expression immediately turned cold, as if he wanted to show that he was more decisive than her. "That would be even better. Since you're not going to come and get your things yourself, and you don't want anyone else to set foot on my territory and dirty my land, give me an address and I'll have someone pack them up and send them to you."
He himself was unaware of his own selfish motives.
Unfortunately, Xia Zhiying didn't appreciate his kindness: "I won't trouble Mr. Chu with such a small matter. Mr. Chu, please set a time when you're not home so I can pick up my things."
Chu Yuexuan's face immediately darkened.
At this moment, a gray Continental SUV drove up and stopped steadily not far in front of Xia Zhiying. After the car door opened, Li Mufeng, dressed in a casual suit and exuding a sophisticated and roguish charm, got out of the driver's seat.
He walked to the passenger side, opened the car door, looked at Xia Zhiying, and gave her a gentlemanly invitation, without giving Chu Yuexuan a single glance from beginning to end. "This beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of sitting in my passenger seat?"
Xia Zhiying couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing the gloom disappear from her eyes, Li Mufeng smiled as well.
Chu Yuexuan, standing on the steps, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He recognized Li Mufeng at a glance as the man who had stood up for Xia Zhiying and beaten him up that day. He also immediately recognized Li Mufeng's car as a Bentley, a model not yet released in China.

type.
This person's status and position are clearly extraordinary.
Not to mention his natural interaction with Xia Zhiying at this moment, which clearly reveals that the two have an unusual relationship.
"Xia Zhiying!" Driven by anger, Chu Yuexuan completely lost his feigned composure and strode down the steps.
He walked up to Xia Zhiying and grabbed her wrist tightly, his strength so great it felt like he wanted to crush her. "No wonder you were so unwilling before, but suddenly you're in such a hurry to divorce me. So you've been hooking up with some other man all along. What? You can't wait to throw yourself into another man's arms right after the divorce? Have you no shame?"
How come he never noticed all these years that Xia Zhiying has a real talent for acting!
She had kept it a secret all along, which made him think that the divorce was entirely his fault. He even felt guilty and wanted to make amends.
Looking back now, I realize I was the biggest fool!
Chu Yuexuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, glaring at Li Mufeng through gritted teeth, "When did you two get together?"
Li Mufeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dangerous.
At this moment—
Snap!
Xia Zhiying instantly stopped smiling, raised her other hand and slapped him across the face without hesitation.
She looked coldly at the familiar yet unfamiliar man, "Chu Yuexuan, you're the shameless one."
If it weren't for Li Mufeng's best efforts to help her, she wouldn't know when she would have been able to escape from this long-standing, dark prison.
It's one thing for Chu Yuexuan to humiliate her, but what right does he have to insult Li Mufeng as well?
"Chu Yuexuan, don't forget we're divorced now. It's none of your business who I'm with. And please have some self-awareness as an ex-husband. Don't act like a jealous husband who can't let go of the past. It's disgusting."
Chu Yuexuan's facial muscles twitched violently. The half of his face that she had hit burned. It wasn't very painful, but the humiliation was real, especially in front of Li Mufeng.
"Xia Zhiying, how dare you hit me right after the divorce?" His eyes, glaring with anger, gradually turned bloodshot. In his fury, he raised his other hand as well. "You really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
That damn woman!
Why do they still have two different faces before and after the divorce?
The previous image of being a little sheep was all an act!
"Chu Yuexuan, stop trying to glorify yourself! If that person wasn't you, how could I have endured being held hostage by love all these years? When I loved you, whatever you did to me was my own fault." Xia Zhiying sneered, raising her chin defiantly, "Now I'm sober, my love-struck brain is dead, and you should also realize—this Xia Zhiying is the real me!"
She paused, then said with a cold sneer, "Haven't you attacked me enough times already?"
Are you awake now?
Has the "love-obsessed" mentality died?
This statement is more embarrassing than any insult.
Chu Yuexuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he felt as if a large part of his heart had suddenly emptied. A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he was so provoked that he wanted to grab her by the neck.
However, the next second—
Li Mufeng gripped his arm tightly, and pressed his other hand against the back of his hand that was holding Xia Zhiying's wrist.
"Chu Yuexuan, don't touch her with your filthy hands!" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and without changing his expression, he pried Chu Yuexuan's fingers off one by one.
