"So I also want to thank you for not standing idly by, right?"
"Zhu Zhu..." Nan Xun called her softly, "I know this is unfair to you, and I'm trying my best to make amends..."
"No need!" Zhu Zhu interrupted Nan Xun, tears streaming down her face. "You dragged us into your carefully planned trap, and now you're trying to make amends. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Nan Xun looked at Zhu Zhu's tears and regretted for the first time in so many years that he had used any means to deal with An Jinli.
He had indeed been using Zhu Zhu. He had used her as a pretext to appease the pressure from Old Lady Nan and the shareholders to get married. He had used her relationship with An Yiqing to set a trap for An Jinli.
But since when, Nanxun has become more and more concerned about Zhu Zhu's feelings, and more and more afraid that she will be hurt if she knows the truth. So he mobilized all the forces of the United States to catch this liar. He hopes that Zhu Zhu will not hate him because of this.
However, Nanxun's efforts seemed to be in vain.
"Let's get a divorce..."
Zhu Zhu didn't know how to face Nan Xun. She liked him, so she couldn't stand Nan Xun using her and lying to her. If she stayed with Nan Xun again, it would constantly remind Zhu Zhu that she was just a dispensable pawn in Nan Xun's hand.
"No!" Nanxun decisively rejected Zhu Zhu. "You can't divorce before the two-year period is up."
"Why? Am I still useful to you?"
"No matter what you think now, I can promise you that from now on I will never use you again. But you must stay by my side."
"Why?" Zhu Zhu said angrily.
"The contract states a two-year term. If you terminate the contract early, you will need to pay me 100 million as compensation."
"You!" Zhu Zhu hadn't read the contract carefully at first, so she didn't see the 100 million RMB in compensation. She hadn't expected Nan Xun to be so cruel.
"Okay. It's just two years. I can wait."
After saying this, Zhu Zhu left Nan Xun's office without looking back.
…
"Come to my place right away." Nan Xun called Lin Qiao after seeing Zhu Zhu leave.
"Mr. Nan, what happened? I just heard Gao Lu say that the wife is very angry."
"She knows." Nan Xun frowned slightly, "She saw the chat history between Fu Jie and me. Go check who told her."
"Yes." Lin Qiao saw Nan Xun's bad expression and asked, "Does the madam need me to explain this to her?"
"No need." Nanxun held his forehead, "I won't let her leave."

Shen Yihuan hadn't expected Zhu Zhu and Nan Xun to have such a huge fight. Looking at Zhu Zhu crying on the sofa in her house, Shen Yihuan didn't know how to comfort her.
"Yi Huan...why am I so stupid? I knew he couldn't possibly like me, but I still wanted to like him. I was clearly being used by him, but I didn't hate him at all. I even tried to make excuses for him..."
"Zhu Zhu..." Shen Yihan hugged her, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have told you about this. It made you so sad..."
"You're right! I'm the one who's wrong. I was too naive. He treated me a little bit better, but I actually imagined that he was interested in me... I was too self-conscious..."
"I thought he bought me things, treated me to meals, and took me to premieres... all because I was special to him... turns out I was just overthinking it..."
