956: Chapter 932: The World is Not Worth It!

Wu Jie’s brows furrowed slightly.

Out of curiosity, he glanced sideways.

Just before the phone screen went off, he saw a part of the text message Chu Yunxuan sent to Tang Xiao.

“I just got back to the project department.”

More content was hidden and not visible.

At this moment.

Tang Xiao and Zheng were deep in conversation, enthusiastically discussing the application prospects of the Directional Energy Sensing Mine.

But Wu Jie couldn’t help but sneer secretly.

This thing was just a smoke and mirrors tactic the system used for him to fob people off, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to clearly explain this bizarre case.

As for improving and equipping a large number of Directional Energy Sensing Mines…

That was wishful thinking.

With the current human technological strength, it simply wasn’t possible.

So…

Wu Jie simply stood up to go take a shower.

After all, he couldn’t see the message from Chu Yunxuan, and Tang Xiao was likely to talk with Zheng for who knows how long.

While showering, he pondered.

Was the system’s previous warning really true?

Had Tang Xiao and Chu Yunxuan already gone beyond the relationship of superior and subordinate, friends even?

Could it be that one night, both got wildly drunk and ended up sparking something unusual?

If that were the case, wouldn’t he be wearing a green hat?

Or was it exactly Chu Yunxuan, who should be most loyal and obedient, that had placed a green hat on him?

That was just too damn ridiculous!

Wu Jie wished the system had made a mistake, that Tang Xiao hadn’t changed and their relationship with Chu Yunxuan was purely professional!

The water flowed loudly.

After the shower, Wu Jie suddenly felt that he was truly wasting Fang Qingya’s kind intentions this evening.

Because tomorrow at the international race track, a test-drive event had been arranged for Tianchen Sedan and Tianlong Sports Car.

So some of the team members had gone over in advance, which naturally freed up a few rooms.

Fang Qingya took the initiative to arrange one for Wu Jie and his spouse.

She had the hotel get this double room ready, but if it was going to be “sleeping in the same bed with different dreams,” what was the point?

Sighing inwardly, Wu Jie returned to the room.

At this time.

Tang Xiao had finished the call with Zheng and was now engrossed in typing a reply.

Wu Jie didn’t need to lean in to know she was definitely chatting with Chu Yunxuan.

Without a word, he lay down on the bed and continued to think about how to deal with this situation.

Qin Yutian’s case, despite being bizarre and far-fetched, could still be logically explained.

But the marital issues with Tang Xiao were different.

Love is an invisible, intangible, yet truly existing thing.

To this day science can’t clearly explain why people feel hatred, like, admiration, longing…

Liking someone might just happen in an instant.

Disliking someone could also be due to a trivial matter.

Humans are extremely complex emotional creatures.

Ordinary friends who often get together grow more familiar, yet good friends who stop keeping in touch will find their feelings fading.

And the emotional changes between men and women are even more delicate.

From acquaintance to love, they undergo an erratic process.

The joy of meeting, the sorrow of parting…

The sweetest and happiest phase for a man and a woman is often during courtship and early marriage.

But after marriage, as the time spent together day and night increases, as the ‘daily necessities’ of life exceed the romance of moonlit evenings, as understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses deepens, as warm romance becomes more and more routine…

People get tired, annoyed, weary…

Some say there’s a seven-year itch in marriage.

Being together too long, the days too monotonous and dull, various problems arise, ultimately leading to a qualitative change.

People always attribute such separations to ‘incompatibility’.

But in fact, when they were dating, getting married, swearing oaths of eternal love…

they were convinced that they were each other’s one and only.

Ultimately, humans inherently harbor a ‘tendency toward novelty and boredom with the familiar’.

Among men and women tired of marriage.

Men complain about women being too demanding, not gentle enough, no longer possessing their former beauty and charm…

Women grow tired of men’s bad tempers, insufficient earnings, no longer being as gentle and considerate as they used to be…

‘Loving the new and loathing the old’ pushes people to argue, to persuade, to change the other as much as possible.

And if they can’t be changed into what one wants, then it can only lead to a breakup.

There are also those who are more impulsive and extreme; if the wife loses her beauty with age or the husband is no longer capable due to advancing years, they seek thrills outside of marriage.

For wealthy and influential men and women.

Younger, prettier, sexier women are countless.

More handsome, stronger, more passionate men are inexhaustible.

So…

Every day all around the world, many men and women are cheating.

Otherwise, what are all those hotel rooms for?

For watching clocks?

Thinking about this, Wu Jie found it puzzling.

He hadn’t been married to Tang Xiao for all that long!

By all accounts, they should still be in the sweet early stages of marriage.

Facing the various temptations from Chu Yunxuan, Fang Qingya, Bai Fengling, Wu Jie managed to keep his bottom line, never betraying.

Yet he had never expected the system to claim that Tang Xiao and Chu Yunxuan’s relationship was quite out of the ordinary.

The exact situation, Wu Jie did not ask the damned system, because some questions required energy points to get answers, and since it involved emotional matters, Wu Jie decided to find the answers himself.

…

Time slowly passed.

Tang Xiao sat in the chair, typing and chatting away.

Wu Jie didn’t speak up to ask, not wanting to disturb their good spirits.

After all, with such behavior on display, did he still need to ask?

If it were about work, why not simply make a phone call?

Or video chat?

Why must she type out each word?

Could it be to avoid disturbing my rest?

That would be too considerate, right?

Wu Jie sneered inside.

Between him and Tang Xiao, it had originally been a relationship of mutual benefit.

Initially, Tang Xiao was using Wu Jie as a shield to avoid suitors and family pressure, not wanting the hassle of dating and marriage as a career-focused woman.

And Wu Jie, at the time a low-level employee of the corporation, had agreed to play along not just for the money but also to access a higher level of social figures through Tang Xiao, thus gaining more energy points.

The two had come together completely on the principle of mutual use.

Only later…

After spending some time together, feeling good about it, they decided to stop pretending and really became a couple.

They didn’t go through a long emotional marathon like other couples, nor did they experience various separations and arguments.

Their journey together was too smooth, with hardly any setbacks or adjustments.

So…

Wu Jie had anticipated that their marriage life would definitely not be smooth, and there would inevitably be many twists and turns, even conflicts.

But he hadn’t expected that, in less than half a year of marriage, problems would already be surfacing!

After a lot of thinking, Wu Jie eventually came to terms with it.

There is no point in planning together when the paths do not align!

If he was truly tired and out of love, why forcefully keep it going?

If there were regrets about being together, why bother compromising and accommodating?

Life is but a few short decades, why let emotional issues hold you back?

While he was feeling melancholic and lost in thought, Tang Xiao was sitting there, chatting merrily.

Why bother?

It’s not worth it in this world!

Wu Jie sighed deeply and truly let go.

“If she suggests divorce, then so be it!

I won’t compromise or beg pathetically!” he decided.

With his mind made up, Wu Jie pulled the covers over himself and closed his eyes to sleep.

Without Tang Xiao, it’s not like I don’t have other women!

However…

The more one tries to sleep, the harder it often is.

Especially when there’s something on your mind, a stir of emotions, making it even less possible to drift off.

Tossing and turning, Wu Jie’s mind kept going back to his marriage with Tang Xiao, wondering where it all went wrong.

Was he not romantic or considerate enough?

But Tang Xiao is no ordinary woman!

She hardly ever goes shopping or watches movies, calling it a waste of time!

Taking her to historical sites for sightseeing, she complains that it’s just counting heads!

Buying an expensive diamond ring for the wedding, she called it an unnecessary waste of money!

What am I supposed to do?

If there was truly a mistake, Wu Jie knew it in his heart.

But he had never, always cherishing Tang Xiao and their relationship, so now he was avoiding any chance of being alone with them.

I intended to set my heart on the bright moon, but alas, the bright moon shines on the gutter, damn!

Wu Jie truly hadn’t expected Tang Xiao and Chu Yunxuan… Sigh!

At this very moment.

Wu Jie really thought Fang Qingya was right.

A woman’s intuition can be very accurate.

Last night, during the break in Tang Xiao’s bath, Fang Qingya had warned Wu Jie.

Telling him that before Wu Jie had arrived, Tang Xiao and Chu Yunxuan had a half-hour call, and their relationship was extraordinary…

Thinking back now, it was more than extraordinary!

The two of them were once madly drunk^

Rolling over again, he didn’t hear the sound of showering, cracked his eyes open slightly, and noticed the light was still on.

Raising himself a little, he peered over.

Holy smokes!

Tang Xiao was still deep in conversation, only possible when one is completely engrossed, forgetting the time, forgetting everything.

Wu Jie silently sighed to himself and slowly lay back down.

Forget it!

Whatever wild things happened while they were drunk that night, Chu Yunxuan had already put a cuckolding hat on me.

Thinking more about it is pointless, let it be.

Pulling the covers up, Wu Jie simply commanded the system to help him enter a deep sleep.

Sleeping deeply means fewer thoughts, no tossing and turning, no difficulty falling asleep.

…

The next day, around noon.

When Wu Jie woke up, he found the room empty.

His cellphone and laptop bag were still there, but that Directional Energy Sensing Mine was gone.

He had thought that Tang Xiao would have set it up before leaving, like employing a loyal bodyguard to guard him while he slept.

But what was the outcome?

It was most likely Zheng who sent someone, and Tang Xiao handed over the Directional Energy Sensing Mine to them.

She sure knows how to make decisions for me!

Wu Jie chuckled, starved and turned over to take a shower.

Back on his feet, just as he opened the door, he saw two security bureau agents.

“Arrange for my return to Tianyuan right after I finish lunch!”

“Aren’t you going to the racetrack?

They are having test drive activities there, and President Tang said she’d pick you up after you woke up!” one agent asked quietly.

Wu Jie gave him a cold glance, “Do my words need to be repeated?”

“No need, no need, I’ll make arrangements right away!”

…

Around three in the afternoon.

Wu Jie and his group took the high-speed train back to Tianyuan.

He had thought that leaving without say goodbye would prompt Tang Xiao to call or message asking why.

But there was no word, as if he had been forgotten.

Wu Jie didn’t bother to initiate contact, letting things take their course.

He focused on his work.

Devoting all his energy to revising and improving the ‘Skynet System’.

The larger and more complex the system is, the more likely issues are to arise during trial operation.

Information from billions of people being processed together couldn’t be perfect with just one software version.

Working around the clock for three days, he produced a new ‘Skynet System 2.0 version’ with even stronger functionality.

Zheng was very happy with it, making case investigations more convenient.

He even suggested that Wu Jie try to revise the Directional Energy Sensing Mine for mass production in the future.

What a daydream?

Wu Jie naturally refused, and as for the new version of the Skynet System…

He had thought about searching for Tang Xiao, to check her social background, relationships, financial status, but he ultimately didn’t.

Sometimes, the more you know, the more you think.

After all, over these three days…

Not a single call or message.

Having a home but not wanting to return, he slept at the cyber security department for a day and then went to the Tang’s Telecom test building.

He commanded the artificial intelligence Blue Planet, virtually constructing a nuclear fusion reactor, conducting various simulation tests.

He fought hard day and night until Tang Xiao called to inform him that the supercomputer in the Science Research City was built and he could transfer Blue Planet there to work in seclusion.

He didn’t say much before hanging up the phone.

Putting down the receiver, Wu Jie lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.

“It’s not worth it in this world!

Why hold onto this marriage, to celebrate the New Year?”

…
