“I admit I misunderstood you and that was wrong, but don’t you really think you also have a problem?” Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips and said directly, “How would I know if you don’t say anything? I’m neither Butler Chen nor a mind reader. I don’t know you that well. We need to communicate.”
Shen Muzhi put down his book, looked up at Zhi Lan, and said calmly, "I'll try my best."
Xiang Zhilan was also helpless when she received this answer, but she already knew that he was this kind of person and it was impossible to change him in a short time. She also adapted to it on her own. After all, marriage is about mutual compromise.
"Is your leg alright?" Feeling guilty for misunderstanding him, she asked him with concern.
"You won't be crippled, don't worry." Shen Muzhi already knew about Butler Chen's attempt to gain sympathy from Xiang Zhilan that morning, and he didn't need her pity.
Xiang Zhilan's rare concern was taken aback by his words, and she replied sullenly, "That's good, I don't want to marry a cripple."
Shen Muzhi wasn't annoyed. It was Xiang Zhilan who was sharp-tongued and argumentative with him; the one who looked guilty just now was pointless.
"Take a look at this." Shen Muzhi took a folder out of the drawer and handed it to her.
Xiang Zhilan was puzzled. She reached out and took the document, then opened it to look at it. It was the divorce agreement that Shen Muzhi had promised her at noon.
But what she didn't expect was that so many things were attached – the property she could get in the divorce.
"I only want this one, I don't want any of these." Xiang Zhilan pulled out the divorce agreement and handed the folder back to Shen Muzhi; those things didn't belong to her.
"It's not for you, it's for the child's protection. You have no right to refuse it on his behalf." Shen Muzhi knew that if it were for her, she definitely wouldn't accept it.
“That’s not necessary.” She had just casually flipped through the documents; they contained houses, land, and company shares. In terms of market value, that was at least tens of billions of yuan. She suspected that this was almost the majority of Shen Muzhi’s assets. “Are you planning to leave with nothing after the divorce?”
"I'm betting my entire fortune that we won't get divorced," Shen Muzhi said with a resolute and cold gaze.
Aren't you afraid of losing?
"If I can't even keep my wife and kids, what am I afraid of losing?" Shen Muzhi looked at Xiang Zhilan with his obsidian-like eyes.
When Xiang Zhilan heard the word "wife," she felt a little awkward. She wasn't used to the fact that she had actually become Shen Muzhi's wife. Moreover, wasn't he a little too confident? Did he think she would fall in love with him?
"Let's arrange for the two families to meet at the end of the month. The wedding should be held before July, so you can start choosing your wedding dress now," Shen Muzhi said, changing the subject.
"Well, we don't need a wedding, right?" Xiang Zhilan felt that having a wedding was something only two people in love would do, and they should save money if they could.
“You don’t need it, but the Shen family does.” Shen Muzhi saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, “You don’t need to do anything. There are dedicated people to take care of everything. You just need to be a good bride.”
Since Xiang Zhilan had already said that, she couldn't refuse any longer. The Shen family was prestigious and powerful, so they were naturally different from ordinary people like them.
"Also, I've said before that I don't like being addressed with your full name; you'd better change that." Shen Muzhi brought up the old topic again.
"I'll try my best." Xiang Zhilan wasn't going to be at a disadvantage and returned the words to him.
Although Shen Muzhi was not entirely satisfied with her answer, he did not force her to change it immediately.
