Chapter 31: The CEO and his ex-wife



"No, we just sat down, I can't leave now." Yu Rou frowned. She noticed that Gan Lie was in a bad mood. There was anger in his words, and he seemed a little angry.

After a while, Gan Lie asked her, "Will you come back after dinner?"

Yu Rou wanted to say that it depends on the situation, but after thinking about it, she said, "Well, I'll be back after eating. You wait at home."

Gan Lie was a little surprised when he heard her say that. He softened his tone and said, "Give me the address and I'll come pick you up."

"No need, I can go back by myself. I'll be back after eating." Yu Rou didn't want to stay long.

Gan Lie: "The address, I'm worried."

Yu Rou: "What's there to worry about? I'm not a child."

"Yu Rou." Gan Lie's tone was serious, and when he called her name, her heart tightened.

"Why do you care so much? I just came out to have a meal, and you're so rude. I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Yu Rou hung up the phone.

Gan Lie was about to speak when he heard a beep on the phone. His face turned completely cold, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice.

He looked at the table full of freshly prepared dishes, his expression becoming more and more ugly. He pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the bowl of rice but had no appetite at all.

Aunt Li packed her things and prepared to leave work. She said to him, "Mr. Gan, I'm leaving."

Gan Lie nodded coldly without moving the chopsticks in his hand.

Aunt Li stood at the entrance looking at Gan Lie's cold and lonely figure, thinking that Yu Rou and Gan Lie had quarreled. She lowered her eyes and sighed. She had seen everything Gan Lie had done for Yu Rou recently, and it was obvious that Gan Lie was sincere to Yu Rou, so she was really worried about the couple when she saw them quarreling, but as an outsider, she couldn't persuade them, so she had to close the door and leave.

Yu Rou returned to the dining table. Bai Qian and Shen Min were still eating the food on their plates, seemingly without communicating. Only when she went back and sat down did Bai Qian start talking again, as if they had nothing to say when she was not around.

Seeing this situation, Yu Rou thought about it and took out her cell phone to send a message to Gan Lie, asking Gan Lie to pick up the phone. Otherwise, there would probably be another game later, and it would be boring for the three of them to be together.

When Gan Lie heard his phone ringing, he thought it was a work message. After all, he had been very busy recently, and his assistant and secretary often sent him messages. He was in a bad mood, so he clicked on it after a while. He didn't expect it to be a message from Yu Rou.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the dialog box.

Yu Rou: [Promise me you won't get angry or argue, and then you can pick me up.]

Gan Lie's expression softened considerably, and he replied, "Yes."

After a while, Yu Rou sent a location. After seeing it, Gan Lie immediately stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.

The traffic in the city center was very congested at this time, and there was no parking near the restaurant. When he got there, he could only park his car a little further away and walk there.

He had just sent a message to Yu Rou saying that he had arrived and asked her to get ready to come out when it suddenly started to rain heavily. Gan Lie saw Yu Rou coming out of the restaurant across the street. Chen Min walked beside her and opened the door for her. Bai Qian walked at the end.

After they came out, they saw that it was raining, so they stood at the door of the store and talked. Yu Rou and Shen Min stood side by side facing each other, looking at each other and talking. They looked very well-matched, but in Gan Lie's eyes, they were very dazzling.

Gan Lie stared at them with an unfathomable expression. Raindrops as big as beans hit him, soaking his hair in a few seconds. He stood under the red light, looking coldly at Yu Rou and Shen Min. When the green light came on, he immediately stepped across the zebra crossing.

The rain had completely messed up his hair, but since his hair was short, he didn't look messy, it just slightly diminished his handsomeness.

Yu Rou was startled when she saw Gan Lie. She didn't expect him to come to her in the rain.

Bai Qian poked Yu Rou nervously, "Why didn't you tell me Gan Lie was coming?"

Shen Min heard Bai Qian's words and glanced at Yu Rou.

Yu Rou did not answer, but took a few steps forward and walked in front of Gan Lie.

Gan Lie's gaze passed Yu Rou and fell on Shen Min, and he looked at him for a few seconds.

"Why are you here in the rain?" Yu Rou frowned and looked at him, "You'll easily catch a cold like this."

Gan Lie's face was a little pale, and the look in his eyes made Yu Rou feel uneasy.

Shen Min suddenly said: "The rain seems to be getting heavier, why don't I take you there, my car is here."

Shen Min's car was indeed parked in a good location, right in front of the store, and he could get in the car in just two steps.

Gan Lie glanced at him coldly and said, "No need."

Yu Rou looked at Gan Lie and then at Shen Min, her eyes lingering on Shen Min's face as she said, "Why don't you take Bai Qian home? We're not going the same way. I can go back by myself."

An imperceptible disappointment flashed across Shen Min's eyes. He glanced at Gan Lie, then stared into Yu Rou's eyes and nodded, saying, "You really don't need me to send you off?"

"No need." Yu Rou said.

Bai Qian laughed awkwardly and said, "No need. I'll go back by myself. I can get a taxi quickly and it will be here in a moment."

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Yu Rou looked at her helplessly.

Seeing this, Bai Qian immediately changed her tone and said, "Oh, I forgot it's hard to get a taxi in such heavy rain. Let's take your car. Doctor Shen, thank you for your help."

Shen Min nodded, said lightly, "You're welcome."

He looked at Yu Rou again and said, "Then we'll go first."

"Okay, be careful on your way." Yu Rou raised her hand and gestured goodbye, then said to Bai Qian, "Send me a WeChat message when you get home."
