Chapter 57 I Won't Divorce Her
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes, her expression cold and indifferent, and quietly left.
Downstairs, Lin Zhixin sobbed as she told the man her story:
"Brother Jinghuai... what did I do wrong? How could Grandma... look at me like that?"
"Don't cry. Grandma is just too angry and taking it out on you. She's getting old, and she tends to get stuck on some things. Don't hold a grudge against your elders."
She wanted to lean on Xie Jinghuai's chest and cry.
However, at that moment, the man gently placed his large hand against her shoulder, subtly avoiding any physical contact with her.
"Besides, I know what kind of person you are all these years. You can't erase that reputation with just a few words from others."
Lin Zhixin should have been beaming with joy at such trust.
But Xie Jinghuai's chest wouldn't let her lean on it anymore, and she froze for a moment, a feeling of resentment welling up in her wet eyes.
He wasn't like this before.
He never resisted their sometimes ambiguous and subtle contact with each other.
Just now, it seemed like they weren't as close as before. Was she overthinking it?
"Brother Jinghuai, what are your thoughts on my sister's matter?" Lin Zhixin asked, sobbing.
Xie Jinghuai lowered his dark phoenix eyes. "She was indeed wronged this time. I will comfort her when we get back."
Lin Zhixin nodded slightly, her eyes flickering, "Brother Jinghuai, will you... divorce my sister?"
"Won't."
Without hesitation, he said, "In the Xie family, the men have always had very stable and lifelong marriages. No one has ever divorced. I don't want to be the exception."
Moreover, the group was already embroiled in a sex trafficking scandal involving senior management, and the issue of Nora terminating her contract with us hasn't subsided yet. If news of a divorce were to surface at this time, the stock price would plummet. I don't want personal matters to affect the group's interests.”
In the end, we still won't get a divorce!
"Ah...that's wonderful!" Lin Zhixin cried tears of joy, this time for real.
After all that effort, and finally managing to bridge the gap between them, it all turned out to be in vain, and I ended up getting myself into trouble!
She was so angry she gritted her teeth!
"Alright, it's getting late, I'll take you home." Xie Jinghuai's voice remained gentle as he spoke to her.
"Mmm..." Lin Zhixin wiped away her tears and nodded obediently.
The two walked out of the old house side by side, when suddenly Xie Jinghuai stopped in his tracks.
Lin Zhixin was stunned. "Brother Jinghuai?"
"Zhixin, in the future, when we're out, you should still call me brother-in-law, or President Xie."
Xie Jinghuai looked straight ahead and said in a low voice, "You are my wife's sister, so we can't address you randomly, that's proper."
Furthermore, you are currently the director of the R&D department at the Xie Group. While you are related, you are also a subordinate. It's inappropriate to always call you "Brother Jinghuai."
Lin Zhixin's throat felt like it was filled with mud and sand. After a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Okay... I understand."
...
As night falls, the old house is enveloped in a hazy, velvety deep blue, a scene of tranquility.
Jiang Shiyuan developed a low-grade fever again, and her throat ached as if she had swallowed a razor blade.
She took her medicine, lay down on the bed, and made a phone call to Ye Yu:
"Senior, how did you get the DNA test report?"
"Phew, I knew you were calling me about this."
Ye Yu paused, then gave a helpless bitter smile. "To be honest, I'm not that powerful. This certificate was sent to my email anonymously by someone."
Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, "Anonymous?"
"Yes, not only that, that person also told me to take this certificate to the Xie family's old house immediately, as it could be of great help to you. Otherwise, do you think I would have arrived in time? I don't have any precognitive abilities."
Jiang Shiyuan was incredulous and couldn't recover for a long time.
Lately, she's had a vague feeling that an invisible force is secretly behind her, silently pushing her forward and helping her...
Of course, it's also possible that she's overthinking it.
But what exactly is the purpose of the person behind this today?
"Hey? Could the person who emailed me be your best friend?"
Ye Yu suddenly had a thought, "I think she has a close relationship with the eldest young master of the Shen family. Could it be that she asked the eldest young master of the Shen family to find out about her? If it is the Shen family, they do have such connections."
Afterwards, she would simply leave, concealing her achievements and fame?
Jiang Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated. "She can't hide a thing. Xi'er is like Zhang Fei on his period; she can't stand seeing her 'brother' suffer even the slightest grievance."
Knowing her personality, she wouldn't stab someone in the back; she'd just come at you with a knife and start slashing anyone she sees.
Ye Yu laughed in a clear, melodious voice.
"Senior brother, does the injury on your face still hurt?" Jiang Shiyuan asked worriedly.
"It doesn't hurt. Compared to the suffering you've endured, it's nothing."
A dull pain shot through Ye Yu's chest, and his voice trembled, "I'd rather take a thousand punches myself, ten thousand punches, than let you, A Yuan, suffer even the slightest harm."
Jiang Shiyuan had known Ye Yu since childhood and always regarded him as an older brother. She didn't think anything of it and simply said softly:
"Senior brother, I will always remember your kindness to me. Thank you..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door clicked open.
Jiang Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly ended the call and sat up in bed.
Before she could get up, Xie Jinghuai had already strode over to her.
The man's breath was deep and heavy, his phoenix eyes narrow and slightly upturned, gazing down at her fair and jade-like face.
He wasn't wearing a suit jacket at the moment; his broad, muscular upper body was only clad in a crisp white shirt and a gray slim-fit vest. The muscles in his arms, bound with black armbands, were restrained and subtly defined, exuding a mature masculinity.
Jiang Shiyuan got up in a hurry, and the belt around the waist of her silk nightgown had come loose at some point, with the smooth, watery silk slipping off her fair and eye-catching shoulders.
A single collarbone, cool and alluring. Full, glistening drops of water, appearing and disappearing.
Just like many men who prefer censored images when watching adult videos, it's the suggestive nudity that's more likely to arouse their desire.
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were deep and dark, and his Adam's apple slowly bobbed at his neck.
No one knew this body better than him; he had touched it so intimately that he was intimately familiar with it.
He suddenly remembered—
On their wedding night, they were each other's first time experiencing lovemaking.
One was so inexperienced that his calves clenched, while the other remained silent, only knowing how to bury himself in his work.
She was so shy that she begged him not to turn on the lights while they were doing it.
In the dim light, he could only see the exquisite, undulating silhouette of his wife lying before him. Even the first time, he was too embarrassed to reach out and touch her.
Ultimately, they did not consummate their marriage.
Now, looking closely, his wife is even more alluring and sexy than he remembered.
Why are you here?
Jiang Shiyuan immediately pulled her robe up to cover her exposed chest. "Grandma said that I'll be the only one staying at the old house tonight. It's not appropriate for you to stay."
After five years of marriage and having a child together, she wasn't as panicked as a virgin. However, the fact that she was already planning a divorce and was revealing this to her future ex-husband still made her very uncomfortable.
Xie Jinghuai pursed his thin lips and stared intently at her. "How is your body recovering?"
Jiang Shiyuan's long eyelashes trembled, and the bones in her hands, which were clenched tightly around her clothes, turned white.
Would this cold-hearted man care about any other woman besides Lin Zhixin? She didn't believe it.
His sudden concern was merely a way to complete his task under the pressure of his grandmother.
Like a cotton-padded coat in summer and a palm-leaf fan in winter.
It is superfluous and meaningless.
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave. I'm tired and need to rest," Jiang Shiyuan coldly told him to leave.
"Jiang Shiyuan, I'm asking you a question. Can't you answer like a normal person?"
Accustomed to being pampered by his wife's gentleness, Xie Jinghuai was clearly extremely dissatisfied with her attitude and questioned her in a deep voice, "How exactly did the child disappear?"
"What's done is done. What's the point of dwelling on this now?"
Jiang Shiyuan curled her lips mockingly, "Even if I didn't miscarry, I would still have an abortion. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
Xie Jinghuai's chest heaved, and his eyes turned red.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't wait any longer and got up to leave. But the man suddenly wrapped his long arm around her waist, lowered his head and took her lips, kissing her deeply.
"Ugh—!" Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes widened as she struggled and pounded on his shoulder.
Xie Jinghuai forcefully pried open her teeth, conquering her territory, his burning heat enveloping her.
He has always been calm, composed, and restrained.
But tonight, I don't know why...
"Well!"
Xie Jinghuai was bitten on the tongue and, wincing in pain, released her. "Jiang Shiyuan, are you a dog?!"
"Don't touch me! Xie Jinghuai!"
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were red-rimmed as she backed away step by step. "I told you not to touch me again! Do you know how disgusting you look right now!"
"nausea?"
Xie Jinghuai laughed in anger, "In those five years, during those nights when you slept with me and I was on top of you, did you also find it disgusting? Disgusting that you had a son with me?"
He didn't believe she had no feelings for him!
"Giving birth to the child, isn't that just part of your play too?" Jiang Shiyuan thought of Xie Yuexi's words, her eyes stinging and swollen.
