Chapter 190 Who is really so domineering?
You Huan carried the lunchbox back to her office and placed it on the coffee table.
"President Peng, please have a meal."
Peng Zixu frowned deeply upon hearing the words "President Peng" and "please".
It's so strange that You Huan has never been so polite to him before.
After setting out the meal, You Huan returned to her workstation and continued working.
Peng Zixu went over to have a meal.
These are all his favorite foods.
He also knew that this dish came from the Cantonese restaurant downstairs, and that the two of them had eaten there before.
Peng Zixu's initial doubts subsided.
You Huan still cares about him.
After finishing his meal, he packed up his lunchbox and threw it away, then walked over to You Huan.
"Let's talk."
You Huan didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the computer: "President Peng, let's get back to work, we can talk after get off work."
Peng Zixu thought that You Huan had invited him to dinner that evening, and they could chat during the meal, so he went back to his seat and sat down.
You Huan lowered her head and exhaled silently.
After get off work.
Peng Zixu walked over and said, "Get in my car. Everyone knows about our relationship now anyway."
You Huan: "No need, I drove today, it will be more convenient to drive back to work tomorrow."
Peng Zixu didn't insist: "Okay."
The two walked out of the office together and then entered the elevator together.
Peng Zixu glanced at You Huan and felt that she was being too cold today.
Once they reached the underground parking garage, they got into their respective cars.
They arrived at the South City Restaurant, a place they used to frequent.
Peng Zixu ordered several dishes that You Huan liked.
The restaurant served the food very quickly.
Peng Zixu put several of You Huan's favorite dishes into her bowl.
You Huan did not refuse.
Her younger brother won't be able to serve her food anymore, so she can enjoy it a little longer.
After eating almost all of it, You Huan put down her chopsticks.
"Peng Zixu, let's break up."
Peng Zixu looked up at her in shock: "You Huan, have you become addicted to saying 'break up'? What are you up to now?"
You Huan remained calm, even though she was heartbroken.
“I’m not making a scene. The last few times I wanted to break up with you, I didn’t really want to. You’re too good to me, and I couldn’t bear to part with you. But this time, I’m serious.”
“Peng Zixu, I’ve thought it over carefully. There are many problems between us, problems that are unsolvable. When conflicts arise in the future, those conflicts will become the last straw that breaks our relationship.”
"I don't want our relationship to end like that. It's better to end it now so that when we look back on it, the memories will be beautiful."
"I know you've been holding back my resignation. Could you please talk to HR and ask them to approve it?"
Peng Zixu looked at her darkly: "Are you done?"
You Huan remained calm throughout: "I'm done."
Peng Zixu clenched his fists and pressed his lips into a straight line.
After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully, I do not agree to break up."
You Huan: "It's no use if you disagree. This is a matter between two people. You can't be so domineering."
Peng Zixu gritted his teeth, his eyes red: "Who's being domineering here? You suddenly want to break up with me unilaterally. Are you asking me? Are you informing me? Don't I even have the right to disagree? Am I obligated to agree?"
You Huan felt that what he said made sense.
But what could she do? She really didn't want to keep going.
"Peng Zixu, just let me go."
Peng Zixu stared at her: "Why? Is it because of my ex..."
You Huan interrupted him: "No, it's our own problem, mainly my problem."
She is so insecure.
She was afraid that one day Peng Zixu would despise her, and she was also afraid that Peng Zixu would regret it in the future and fall in love with someone else.
She didn't know if she could extricate herself as quickly as she had when she broke up with Sheng Lin.
Therefore, it's really troublesome to put your heart into something.
She worries about this and that every day, living in constant fear.
Peng Zixu said in a low voice, "So you're still thinking about Sheng Lin? You're in such a hurry to break up with me because you want to go back to being his mistress?"
You Huan frowned: "It has nothing to do with him."
"You still love him! Five years of relationship, can you just cut it off and forget it like that? You're still thinking about him, aren't you? And me? What am I to you? What do you take me for? A tool to relieve loneliness? Something you can just throw away?"
Peng Zixu practically roared these words.
You Huan felt a surge of emotions in her chest, and an urge to cry welled up inside her.
"I didn't use you as a tool..."
Peng Zixu sneered, got up and left the restaurant.
You Huan leaned back in her chair, seemingly exhausted.
How could she treat Peng Zixu as a tool?
Could a tool cause her so much distress? Could it cause her such heartache?
Her heart was torn apart, shattered into pieces.
You Huan called Li Mai.
"MaiMai, come out and have a drink with me."
Li Mai sensed something was wrong with You Huan and asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm outside. I just finished having dinner with Peng Zixu."
"Did you two have a fight?"
"We've broken up. This time it's for good."
Li Mai: "..."
She was silent for a moment before saying, "You go home first, I'll come to your house to find you later."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mai glanced at the person next to her whose face had already stretched out, and pulled his arm in a flattering manner.
"Zhou Songyan, I need to go to my senior's house."
Zhou Songyan looked unhappy with a sullen face, but ultimately said nothing.
She stood up and said, "I'll see you out."
Li Mai jumped onto him, hugged his face, and kissed him.
Zhou Songyan was afraid she would fall to the ground, so he supported her with his hand.
Li Mai hooked her arm around his neck and said with a smile, "How about you carry me upstairs to change my clothes?"
Zhou Songyan clicked his tongue lightly: "Like a vixen."
Li Mai raised an eyebrow: "The fairy will come back tomorrow to favor you."
"Are you going to spend the night there?"
Zhou Songyan's expression, which had just begun to ease, darkened again.
Li Mai: "My senior is not in a good mood, so I have to stay there with her."
Zhou Songyan: "I'm not in a good mood either."
Li Mai gently patted his face: "Sweetie, don't be jealous. We'll get our marriage certificate when we come back tomorrow."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He lowered his head, his eyes as deep as if they had been soaked in thick ink.
Are you serious?
Li Mai nodded: "Mm."
Zhou Songyan carried her upstairs, saying, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"good."
...
After changing her clothes, Li Mai said, "I can drive there myself, you can rest."
Zhou Songyan picked up a coat and draped it over her arm: "It's so late, I'm worried."
Li Mai had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Songyan escorted Li Mai to the downstairs of You Huan's house.
Li Mai opened the car door and got out, but Zhou Songyan pulled her back and kissed her for a while.
When she got off the bus, Li Mai's face was completely red.
When she arrived at You Huan's house, she knocked on the door.
You Huan opened the door, and Li Mai saw that she looked like her soul had been ripped out.
"Senior."
You Huan hugged her: "Mai Mai, let me lean on you for a while, I feel so uncomfortable."
Li Mai looked worried, but didn't ask any more questions. She gently patted her back to comfort her.
Seeing that the door was still open, Li Mai closed it behind her and noticed a case of beer on the door.
This guy's going to drink himself to death!
You Huan let go of her, turned around and walked to the sofa, where she slumped down, looking lifeless.
Li Mai took off her coat and put it on the sofa, then pulled You Huan aside and whispered, "What happened? Why are you two breaking up again?"
