"Let's get a divorce," Ye Fei leaned back on the sofa, as casually as if she was discussing what to eat tomorrow morning, "I'm sorry, I can't fulfill what we agreed on. If you have any requests, just let me know, and I will do my best to compensate you."
The living room fell into silence for a long time.
Yan Xiao remained in his original sitting position without moving, his body as stiff as a sculpture.
Ye Fei didn't rush him and considerately gave him time to digest.
"Why?" He asked after a long while, "Did I do something to make you unhappy?"
"No," Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Don't think too much, it's my own problem."
Yan Xiao immediately asked: "What's the problem?"
"I just don't want to do this anymore," Ye Fei picked up the beer on the coffee table and took a sip, laughing at himself, "It's a bit boring."
He worked hard for the Ye family all his life, even mortgaging his marriage and freedom, but in the end, he got nothing in return. If he had the chance to live again, he would just live for himself.
Bright light poured down from the ceiling, shining on the smooth floor, creating a cold white halo that made Yan Xiao's eyes swollen and painful.
My chest felt stuffy as if it was blocked by a ball of cold, hard cotton, and it was a pain that was almost suffocating.
He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand this interesting definition. Finally, he said very softly, "Ye Fei, stop joking."
This must be a joke between friends, Yan Xiao thought. Ye Fei didn't really want to divorce him, he just didn't understand.
However, Ye Fei's next words shattered his expectations.
"No," Ye Fei said, "Why would I joke with you about this?"
The water droplets formed by the heat from the beer can flowed down his fingers. He frowned, took out a tissue and wiped them while saying, "When is convenient for you? Let's go get the divorce certificate."
After a pause, as if remembering something, he added, "Don't worry, I will return every cent you invested in Dingyuan."
Yan Xiao sat there without moving or speaking.
Five minutes later, he said in a hoarse voice: "I don't agree."
Yan Xiao is a man who is confident to the point of being arrogant. His extremely high IQ and social status that is enough to look down on most people give him such capital. He doesn't like being questioned. He usually uses imperative sentences when interacting with others and looks directly at the other person when speaking.
But this time, he didn't look into Ye Fei's eyes, he just lowered his eyes and emphasized: "I don't agree."
The stunned person turned into Ye Fei. He looked at Yan Xiao in disbelief: "No, why?"
Before this, he had never thought that this would happen. After all, the two parties are just in a simple cooperative relationship. Now if one party wants to terminate the contract, even if the other party is dissatisfied, it will not make too much of a fuss.
"Dingyuan needs to continue to inject capital," Yan Xiao said, "and I also need a de facto partner. I don't think there is any need for divorce."
After hearing his reasons, Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a problem too difficult to solve, it would be fine.
"It doesn't matter. Dingyuan will no longer be under my control. Someone else will take care of the financing. As for you," he raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved around Yan Xiao's face, and said meaningfully, "Mr. Yan, you can still find someone to marry, right?"
Hearing this, Yan Xiao seemed to have already programmed the answer and immediately replied, "Can't find it."
Ye Fei: “…”
In the past, when he heard others complain about how difficult Yan Xiao was to deal with, he was quite dismissive. Unexpectedly, things change, and today he finally experienced it.
Ye Fei took a deep breath and patiently handed over the initiative: "Then what do you want in exchange for a divorce?"
Yan Xiao did not give a direct answer, but only said: "It is written in our contract that the cooperation period ends on December 5, 2027."
"There is also a time limit on the employee's employment contract, and there are still many people who leave midway." Ye Fei didn't want to make things too awkward with Yan Xiao because of this matter, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Boss Yan, just treat me as an employee of your company. If one leaves, you can always find another one who is more suitable."
There is no more suitable next one, Yan Xiao thought, only Ye Fei.
But Ye Fei said that being with him was boring and she didn't want to continue.
Yan Xiao never knew what panic was. Over the past twenty years, no matter how serious a problem seemed to others, he could easily solve it with his clever brain.
But today, he felt helpless.
"Adults should have a spirit of contract," Yan Xiao was like a person walking in the thunder and lightning. He knew that the umbrella in his hand could not withstand any storm, but he still raised his only bargaining chip with a fluke, "You signed the contract."
"So you still don't agree?"
"No."
Seeing that he couldn't make it through no matter what he did, Ye Fei stood up, looked down at him, and said coldly: "Anyway, I must get a divorce. If you don't agree, I will go to court and sue you."
After saying that, he went straight back to the bedroom to pack his things.
He had not originally intended to move out so soon, but was really irritated by Yan Xiao's stubborn attitude. It would be great if everyone could just part ways in peace. I don't know why he is insisting on doing this.
As soon as Ye Fei opened the wardrobe, she was startled.
Nothing else, just all black. Black clothes, black pants, black shirt, even the underwear is black!
He must have been a coal ball that became a spirit in his previous life. Ye Fei rummaged through the pile of clothes in disgust, but couldn't find any other colors. After pondering for a moment, I simply opened Alipay and followed the mini program for donating clothes.
These clothes are a bit ugly, but the workmanship and quality are good. It’s too wasteful to throw it away directly, so it’s better to donate it to people in need.
Ye Fei found two 28-inch suitcases in the room and threw all the clothes and other items into them without paying attention to the order. He didn't have many things, and soon the cabinet became empty.
Ye Fei closed a suitcase and was about to pack up other places, but when she turned around, she met Yan Xiao's gaze.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yan?" Ye Fei raised his chin towards him, "Have you changed your mind?"
"I can spare a week next month," Yan Xiao pointed to the date on the calendar on his phone and showed it to Ye Fei, "I can accompany you wherever you want to go."
In order to figure out the interesting meaning, he went to the search engine to look up the public's answers, and the results he got were nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.
Although Yan Xiao didn't think there was any fun in this, since Ye Fei wanted to do it, he would accompany him as long as he didn't mention divorce again.
Ye Fei didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"
"Or if you like to do something, just tell me and I'll let Cheng Minghao arrange it."
Ye Fei thought for a long time, and followed his train of thought by guessing, and suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't mean this... Don't worry about it, agreeing to divorce is helping me."
Yan Xiao was silent for a while, then said, "I don't talk to drunk people."
"I only drank less than half a can of beer," Ye Fei laughed in anger, and handed the can to him and shook it, "How could I be drunk?"
But Yan Xiao turned a deaf ear to him and even began to talk about his reasons non-stop, not knowing whether he was trying to convince Ye Fei or himself: "Alcohol affects your cerebral cortex and central nervous system, causing you to make irrational decisions. This is not your true thought."
Ye Fei glared at him: "I say again, I am not drunk."
"A drunk person never admits he is drunk."
Ye Fei was speechless. He suspected that Yan Xiao was playing rogue. But on second thought, given his personality, he would not do such a thing. He was probably just being stubborn.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Ye Fei wiped his face. It was only one night anyway. He could afford to wait no matter how little time he had.
Yan Xiao didn't respond. He avoided Ye Fei's sight and whispered, "I will pretend that I didn't hear about your drunken behavior today. I won't take it to heart."
No, why did he get drunk and act crazy? Ye Fei felt offended. He didn't know anything else, but he was very sure of one thing: if he got drunk and acted crazy, would Yan Xiao still be able to stand here in an orderly manner?
He had already stripped my pants off!
He narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
When he picked up the phone, it was the staff member who came to collect the clothes. He said that he had arrived, but could not enter the villa area, so he asked Ye Fei if he could deliver the clothes to his door.
Ye Fei agreed readily, picked up the suitcase and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Yan Xiao reflexively tried to pull him, and when he was about to touch Ye Fei, he pulled his hand back.
"Donate love and warmth, and practice the core values of socialism." Ye Fei didn't notice his actions, and said perfunctorily without looking back, and rushed out the door.
Suddenly, Yan Xiao was the only one left in the empty living room. He stood quietly at the door for a long time before walking over to the sofa and sitting down.
Yan Xiao carefully recalled every detail of their interactions over the past month or even three months, and did not find that he had done anything offensive.
Then why divorce? Yan Xiao still couldn't figure it out.
His eyes fell on the box of dessert on the coffee table. The square wooden box was wrapped with a golden ribbon, and the top was transparent, making the dessert inside even more exquisite and tempting.
Cheng Minghao said that this was the best double skin milk in the city, but how could Ye Fei not even take a look at such delicious double skin milk?
Perhaps because the box was too ugly, Yan Xiao held the box in his arms. Maybe next time if he gives it a better packaging, Ye Fei will accept it and won’t think about divorcing him.
