Chapter 28 Negotiating Terms
Shen Qinghuan took a sip of coconut water, looked at Song Cheng leisurely, and said with a smile: "Are you wondering why no one in the company knows that Mr. Jiang and I are husband and wife?"
Song Cheng smiled awkwardly, his ears turning red again.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I wanted to ask, but I also feel that this is your privacy and I shouldn't ask. But if I don't ask, I can't sleep at night because I keep thinking about this question."
"Sister Huan, I know I shouldn't ask about this, but I..."
Song Cheng's ears and face were red, as if dyed with the most gorgeous sunset in summer, making him look like a child who had done something wrong.
Shen Qinghuan could see Song Cheng's feelings for her, which was why she agreed to let Song Cheng take him home that night.
As she flipped the beef, she smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. There's no need to ask. Let me tell you this! Jiang Yu and I...actually, we got married because of an accident. There's really no love between us. We're just...married in name only!"
"We're a couple in name only, you should understand this, right?"
Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand! I understand this! It means that you are legally husband and wife."
Shen Qinghuan half-closed her eyes and smiled, "You are a teachable child! That's right, to put it simply, Jiang Yu and I are legally married and don't have any feelings for each other. Look! He has a driver and drives a luxury car to work, but I'm different. Most of the time I take the subway, and sometimes if I can't catch it, I'll take a taxi."
Listening to Shen Qinghuan's words, Song Cheng obviously didn't expect that she would tell him everything about her marriage!
For a moment, his heart was tense, and he couldn't help asking: "Then, have you ever thought about divorce?"
"divorce?"
"Yes! Divorce! Since he can't give you the life you want, why don't you divorce him?"
Shen Qinghuan put down the chopsticks in her hand, tore off a piece of tissue and slowly wiped her fingertips, smiling slightly and said: "If divorce was so easy, we wouldn't have gotten married because of an accident in the first place."
"Stop asking. Knowing too much won't do you any good!"
The corners of Song Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. However, he felt more and more distressed for her in his heart.
After having supper, Song Cheng offered to take Shen Qinghuan home.
Shen Qinghuan still didn't refuse. She thought to herself, this young man is really brave. Knowing that she is Jiang Yu's wife, he actually offered to send her back. What's his intention? There must be something to gain!
The taxi drove into the villa area deep in the clouds. Song Cheng looked at everything outside that was unfamiliar to him and felt like he was dreaming.
In this place, his annual salary can't even buy him a toilet.
Song Cheng got out of the car and sent Shen Qinghuan to the gate of the villa. He watched her walk in for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Jiang Yu, who rarely returned home early, naturally saw this scene upstairs.
"Why are you back so late?"
Shen Qinghuan returned home and had just changed into slippers when she saw Jiang Yucai walking down the stairs.
Was that the right question for him? He had no sense of boundaries! Before, he'd been out all night, and she'd never asked him a single question. But he was asking about her schedule just because she was a little late.
However, for the sake of breakfast, Shen Qinghuan still patiently replied to him. After all, she still wanted to have a baby with him.
"Working overtime tonight!"
"Working overtime until this point?"
Jiang Yu obviously didn't believe her.
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips. Was she planning to dig deeper? She took a deep breath and put on a proper smile. "I have a lot of work to do today, so I'm busy until this hour. But you, why are you back so early?"
Jiang Yu looked up at her and suddenly said, "I have to fly to Seattle tomorrow and it will take about a week for me to come back."
Shen Qinghuan was slightly startled and asked casually, "Is this a last-minute decision?"
"Yeah! It was a last-minute decision. There was a problem with a project over there, and I had to go there and solve it myself."
"Then take care! I won't see you off!"
Jiang Yu choked, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked with a sullen face, "Shen Qinghuan, don't you want to go with me?"
Shen Qinghuan curled the corners of her lips and said, "I have to go to work!"
"I'll grant you leave!"
"Boss Jiang, when did you learn to use your power for personal gain?"
"It's not a very difficult thing. Do I need to spend time and effort to learn it?"
"No."
Seeing that she rejected him without even a second thought, Jiang Yu couldn't help but frown, his face looking a little unhappy, "Really not going?"
Shen Qinghuan suddenly smiled, walked briskly to Jiang Yu, skillfully lifted her feet, and sat on his thighs. Her arms were even more unscrupulous and she said with a smile: "Jiang Yu, if you are willing to have a child with me, I can consider going with you."
“…Shen Qinghuan!”
Jiang Yu was so angry that he pushed her away.
