The CEO in Tears!
Divorce?
It can’t be that serious!
“Okay, Xin’er, I know I was wrong.
Let’s just leave it at that for tonight!”
“Fine then!
It’s useless to say more.
After all, you’re ready to divorce anytime, and I’m ready to take over anytime!”
Tang Xiao chuckled.
After hanging up the voice call, Tang Xiao tossed aside her phone headset and lay on the bed, reflecting on every word Tang Xin had said.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had gone too far.
She wondered how much Wu Jie would need to pay to heal her old injuries.
But what was the outcome?
For two insignificant conditions, she wouldn’t agree, yet she had the nerve to say, “I am willing to devote myself to you.”
Feeling cheeky, thinking she’d be happy even with a short life, willing to do anything.
How could she be a good wife and mother with such inconsistency?
Tang Xiao felt the regret burning within her, she really had been too impulsive and hot-headed then.
Twined in emotions, Tang Xiao looked at the photo on her nightstand of herself in her officer’s uniform.
That year she was spirited and valiant…
That year she looked down on the entire army, unbeatable…
The once vigorous her was now plagued with old injuries, unable to even run.
Time waits for no one!
Even if she recovered, and put on her military uniform again, how long could she play the queen?
In a couple more years, she would be nearing thirty.
Just like Tang Xin said, could she outcompete the post-2000 generation who had just enlisted?
Men grow more distinguished with age, while women start going downhill after thirty.
It’s terrifying just to think about becoming washed up…
That night, Tang Xiao slept poorly.
Meanwhile, in the adjacent bedroom.
Right after her conversation with Tang Xiao, Tang Xin initiated a voice call to Wu Jie.
Discarding the flight manual, Wu Jie had just connected the call when Tang Xin laughed loudly:
“You’re amazing, bro!
You actually have the ability to heal Xiao’s old wounds…”
With that comment, Wu Jie facepalmed and sighed internally.
Tang Xiao, oh Tang Xiao!
I haven’t even started treating you, and you’ve already told Tang Xin.
Your relationship really is something special!
“…Actually, I know you’re willing to pay a great price to treat her because you like her, it’s just a pity she is like a block of wood!”
“But don’t worry, I’ve already used reverse psychology on her, telling her that I’m ready to take over anytime she wants to divorce you!”
“Without competition, she doesn’t know how to take an opportunity, much less how to cherish you!”
“With that lie I told, if she has even the slightest fondness for you, she’ll definitely be anxious and her attitude towards you will surely change!”
Stunned, Wu Jie responded, “Do you think my healing her is meant to touch her heart so that she’ll fall in love with me?”
“Isn’t it?” Tang Xin countered, “Or are you telling me you’re doing it for money?”
How miserable!
This miscommunication has escalated.
I only thought Tang Xiao had a good face, figure, and temperament, but I’m not hopelessly in love with her.
Saving her is repaying a debt of gratitude, without her contribution, it would have been difficult to earn energy points and even harder to make so much money.
Now how did it come to this…
Forget it!
A fierce life needs no explanation!
“Fine then!
Assume that I’ve done a good deed without a good result.
It doesn’t matter if she appreciates it or not, or whether your provocation works,”
Wu Jie decided to let the error slide.
With a sigh, Tang Xin counseled, “Ah, what a hopeless romantic!
Xiao’s been so long in the military and business world, only knowing how to be overbearing and autocratic, and not versed in the ways of the world.
Don’t be too discouraged, take it slow, who knows, maybe one day you’ll see the silver lining!”
Wu Jie leaned back against the headboard, smoking and giving a wry smile:
“Hehe!
It doesn’t matter, bro isn’t fixated on just one tree, there are plenty of beauties waiting for me!”
Tang Xin giggled, “Right!
I think Lin is pretty great!
Over the weekend at the orphanage charity livestream, I found out she’s not only beautiful but also kind-hearted, gentle, and attractive.
Even Cui thinks Lin is more suitable as the sister-in-law than Xiao.”
“The most important thing is, there are no more emotional entanglements with Fang Qingya, and she’s in a relationship hiatus.
You might catch her if you put in just a little effort, unlike pursuing Xiao, which is like storming a fortress, full of difficulties.”
Wu Jie laughed, “What if I pursue you?
How difficult would that be?”
“Me?
Do you need to chase me?
When you get divorced one day and I’ve had my fun, we can be together anytime!”
“Oh man!
Wouldn’t I have to wait until the flowers have withered?”
“Don’t worry!
Who knows, I might change my mind when I feel lonely and cold!”
…
The next day.
Tang Xiao got up early to make breakfast, having hardly slept the night before.
While watching the finance news, Wu Jie appeared.
In an instant!
Tang Xiao actually felt a bit embarrassed, as if she couldn’t look Wu Jie in the eye.
“I might not go to the group’s headquarters recently.
After the inspection and audit, I’ll head to the flight school.”
Wu Jie pulled up a chair and sat down, carelessly eating bread and drinking milk.
Tang Xiao’s lips twitched slightly, and she timidly glanced up.
“Okay, okay!”
Bowing her head, Tang Xiao stared at the tablet screen, but she didn’t register what the host was saying.
Her mind was preoccupied with one thing—apologizing.
“What’s up with you today?
You used to wolf down your food, but today you’re eating like a little girl, chewing slowly?”
Wu Jie asked curiously.
“I think…” Tang Xiao looked up and said apologetically with a smile, “I was inconsistent and contradictory last night, I disappointed you, I’m sorry!”
Wu Jie laughed in surprise,
“Tsk tsk!
It’s such a trivial matter!
As the President, do you really need to apologize personally?”
“But you clearly meant well!
It was me who overthought and neglected your feelings,” Tang Xiao said with a tone of regret.
“No problem!
If you don’t want to recover, that saves me trouble!
Let’s just pretend it never happened!” After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Wu Jie stood up and laughed, “I need to fetch my car, or I’ll miss the inspection at Tang’s Engineering!”
Tang Xiao unconsciously hummed in acknowledgment, but when she thought to remind him about the money, Wu Jie was already out the door.
“Does this mean he forgives me?”
Staring at the door, Tang Xiao zoned out, mindlessly picked up a fork and put it in her mouth, only to realize it was empty when she bit down.
Ouch!
She nipped the fork, and her teeth ached, adding to her gloom.
How could she have any appetite for food now?
Hurriedly clearing the table, Tang Xiao drove to work, heading straight for the finance department.
She didn’t want to feel indebted, nor did she want to use money as a leverage.
On the other hand.
As soon as Wu Jie took a taxi to the car dealership, he received a bank transaction alert.
Soon after, Tang Xiao sent him a voice message.
“I’ve transferred two billion to you, converted to Gold Coins at the real-time exchange rate.
I ensured that we have no financial obligations toward each other, to give you absolute marital freedom and to avoid any misunderstandings, in case you think I wouldn’t pay you if we divorce!”
Wu Jie immediately replied, “Last night you said that if I don’t leave you, you would stay with me through life and death.
What’s up?
Changed your mind so quickly?”
Tang Xiao responded, “Aren’t I afraid you’ll get the wrong idea?
With such a large sum of money, it’s better to give it to you sooner.”
Wu Jie said with a laugh, “Others might not understand you, but I do.
Telling you not to be stubbornly competitive and give up being War King is like asking me to quit smoking, not that easy, right?
We are not saints or sages, how can we cut off so easily?”
“You’re really not angry?” Tang Xiao questioned.
Wu Jie burst into laughter, “Rest assured!
A chancellor’s belly can hold a boat, mine can at least fit an aircraft carrier.
Why would I get mad at such a little thing?
Just be a good wife to me, one day you’ll fall in love with me!”
After listening to the voice message, Tang Xiao didn’t immediately curse ‘get lost’ as she usually would.
Instead, she felt a warmth in her heart, a sting in her nose, and tears suddenly burst forth.
Xie Wanjun, holding a stack of files, pushed the door open, ready to discuss the day’s schedule.
She saw the usually domineering and strong President Tang Xiao crying her eyes out, turning into a tearful figure…
