Chapter 475 I was negligent
"Then why didn't you notify me? A message, a phone call, is that so difficult?" Ji Wan's chest heaved violently, and the suppressed anger surged up again.
"Chi Wenyan, what do you think of me? A pet you can play with as you please?"
Seeing her red eyes and her fiery expression, Chi Wenyan frowned even more tightly. He was silent for a few seconds, and his tone seemed to slow down a bit.
"Wanwan, I was negligent about the matter at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Can we...can we not get divorced? I was too impulsive before. Let's talk it over."
Ji Wan let out a short and cold laugh as if he had heard some huge joke.
"Not leaving? Chi Wenyan, are you begging me?" She stood up straight, the grief and anger in her eyes gradually replaced by a resolute indifference. "Do you think that if you say you won't leave me now, I will be grateful and take back everything? Who do you think I am?"
Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, with an unshakable determination: "Today, I am getting a divorce."
Chi Wenyan's face darkened, and the pressure in the office instantly dropped to freezing point: "Ji Wan, don't be willful. This is the company, and it will have a bad impact."
"Influence?"
Ji Wan sneered, "When you left me waiting alone at the Civil Affairs Bureau, why didn't you consider the impact? When you were playing me like a monkey, why didn't you think about my feelings?" Her voice suddenly rose, with a hint of trembling, "I'm telling you, Chi Wenyan, if you don't sign today, I won't leave. I want to see how the president of the Chi Group will end this."
Chi Wenyan stared at her with deep eyes, his emotions undetectable.
The office fell into a suffocating silence.
After a long moment, he seemed to give in, his tone carrying a hint of fatigue. "Okay, I'll sign. But not today. I have important arrangements this afternoon, and all my schedules are full." He looked up at Ji Wan with a complicated gaze. "Next Monday, at nine in the morning, I'll be at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time. Are you satisfied?"
Ji Wan met his gaze without giving in: "Next Monday morning at nine o'clock. Chi Wenyan, this is your last chance."
Her voice returned to its original coldness. "If anything goes wrong again, I promise you, you will definitely regret playing tricks on me today."
After saying that, she didn't look at him again, turned around, opened the office door, and walked out without looking back.
That straight back showed a determination to perish together with his enemies, and a barely perceptible sense of dignity at having finally turned the tables.
Ji Wan slammed the office door with determination. The loud noise was like a sledgehammer hitting Chi Wenyan's heart, causing a dull pain in his chest.
He remained leaning against the chair for a long time without moving, his deep eyes staring at the tightly closed door and Ji Wan's straight back as he left, with a look of determination to perish together with his enemies.
, replayed over and over in his mind, each frame like a sharp blade, slicing his nerves.
"Next Monday morning at nine o'clock..." He repeated the time in a low voice, his fingertips tightening unconsciously. The irritation and powerlessness that had just been suppressed now grew wildly like vines.
, gripping his heart tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Not getting a divorce? He actually said he wasn't getting a divorce.
Was he begging? Ji Wan's cold sneer, the words "Who do you think I am?", every word was like a barbed whip, lashing him to the ground.
When had he ever been so humble? When had he ever needed to beg a woman for forgiveness?
However, when he thought of the grief and indifference in Ji Wan's eyes that were almost solidified, and when he thought that she was really going to completely withdraw from his life, an unprecedented panic swept over him.
He didn't want to sign the divorce agreement at all.
What a bullshit important meeting! His schedule was full. It was just a little bit of pitiful buffer time he bought for himself in a panic.
"Bang." Chi Wenyan slammed his fist on the polished tabletop, and the back of his hand instantly turned a glaring red. The pain sobered him up a bit, but it couldn't dispel the anxiety in his heart. He suddenly grabbed the intercom: "Assistant, come to my office immediately."
His voice was hoarse from suppressing anger and pain.
A few seconds later, there was a gentle knock on the office door. The assistant pushed the door open and stood respectfully in front of the desk: "Boss Chi, are you looking for me?"
Chi Wenyan raised his scarlet eyes, the storm in them sending a chill through his assistant, even one used to his various emotions. "Cancel," he practically squeezed the words out through gritted teeth. "All schedules for next Monday morning are canceled."
The assistant paused for a moment, then quickly reviewed Monday morning's schedule, which included several high-level meetings with key partners. "Mr. Chi, several meetings have been scheduled for a long time. The level of the other party..."
"I said cancel." Chi Wenyan raised his voice suddenly, and the pen beside him was swept to the ground in annoyance, making a harsh sound. "Don't you understand?"
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." The assistant didn't dare to say anything more and quickly agreed. He bent down to pick up the pen.
"Don't pick it up." Chi Wenyan waved his hands irritably, leaning back heavily on his chair. His eyes were complicated and difficult to read under his furrowed brows. "Assistant, have you... have you ever been in love?"
This question made the assistant, who was about to leave, stumble and almost thought he was hallucinating.
His boss, the president of Shengyan Group, was so busy with his work, yet he actually asked him such a personal question? The assistant pushed his glasses up awkwardly and answered honestly.
"Mr. Chi, I'm sorry, I... I've been busy with work and haven't had time to pay attention."
He thought to himself, with a boss like you who works all year round, who has time for a relationship?
Chi Wenyan stared at him, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, and then he seemed to grasp something: "Then what do you think, if... if a woman is determined to leave, how can you make her change her mind?"
When he said this, his voice unconsciously lowered a little, with a barely perceptible hint of hope and helplessness.
Beads of sweat formed on the assistant's forehead. This question was beyond the scope of the exam.
He's been single since birth, so how could he understand these romantic matters? "Boss Chi, this... I really don't have any experience. Maybe... maybe a gift? Flowers? Or... an apology?"
He spoke haltingly and without confidence.
Chi Wenyan's face darkened even more, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the answer. He tugged at his tie irritably, and the low pressure in the office was almost suffocating.
"Ah..." "Waste." He scolded softly, his tone full of disappointment.
The assistant lowered his head even lower, complaining in his heart.
"Forget it," Chi Wenyan seemed to have exhausted all his patience and tapped his fingers hard on the table.
