The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me
Chapter 840 - 837: Don’t Want to Leave

Chapter 840: Chapter 837: Don’t Want to Leave

Experience had proven that youthful love was immature, so he and she eventually went their separate ways.

Not every relationship can be mended, because not everyone will wait patiently forever.

Ye Ranran had already walked away, so what difference would it make even if Huo Yi looked back?

She would never belong to her anymore.

Xu Zi laughed, her laugh full of smug satisfaction.

When Huo Yi woke up, he immediately saw the strange smile on Xu Zi’s lips and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Why are you here?"

"You’re awake?" Xu Zi hurried to help him sit up, "I’ll go call the doctor."

The doctor arrived promptly, conducted a full check-up on Huo Yi, and then said, "You’ll be fine after some rest."

"Thank you, doctor." Xu Zi saw the doctor out and then opened up the lunch box, "I just made you some chicken soup; have some."

"Thanks, but there’s no need. Just find a maid or a caregiver to look after me," Huo Yi said with a cold laugh.

Xu Zi didn’t mind his attitude, "As long as we are not divorced, I am still your wife. I need to maintain appearances."

"Xu Zi, don’t you realize how fake you are?" Huo Yi used to adore Xu Zi for her gentle and virtuous ways.

But ever since he knew it was all a facade, he couldn’t wait to tear off her mask.

Everyone knew what ugliness lurked beneath; was there really any need for her to keep up this pretense?

"Drink your soup." Xu Zi scooped some soup and placed it in front of Huo Yi.

With a flick of his hand, Huo Yi spilled the soup all over Xu Zi, the bowl hit her and rolled onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

"I said I don’t need you to feed me," Huo Yi repeated his words, enunciating every syllable.

"Actually, I don’t want to see you at all because it’s quite sickening," Huo Yi used every word at his disposal to humiliate Xu Zi.

Xu Zi laughed with mockery in her smile, "Huo Yi, whether you deny me or deny yourself, don’t forget that it was you who proposed to me in the first place."

"Fine, let’s not talk about that. What benefit is there for me if we get a divorce?" Xu Zi crossed her legs and sat in front of Huo Yi with an air of grandeur.

Huo Yi’s face darkened, "What do you mean by that, Xu Zi?"

"It means I’ve seriously thought about it and found that there’s no benefit for me in divorcing, so I don’t want to."

Huo Yi looked quite displeased and gritted his teeth, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

Her previous talk of divorce was just to deceive him for her amusement, and perhaps those three days were just a deliberate delay.

Xu Zi laughed seductively, her face untroubled, "If that’s what you want to think, then I can’t do anything about it. However, Huo Yi, remember you once swore to grow old with me or be struck by lightning. You didn’t keep your significant vow, and now when you want to kick me to the curb because you don’t like me anymore, you still have to see if I agree or not."

"Then what do you actually want?" Huo Yi’s impatience grew, and a veiled threat surfaced in his eyes.

If she annoyed him, he wouldn’t mind disposing of her silently and without a trace.

"What do I want? All the money you could give me couldn’t compare to the allure of being the Huo Family matriarch. Do you understand what I want?" Xu Zi’s face was almost touching Huo Yi’s, showing no hesitation to reveal her greed right in front of him.

But before Huo Yi could take a closer look, she withdrew her gaze, "We’ve talked so much; you probably hate me even more now. I’m not that clueless, after all. It’s always better to be with someone than to be alone. If you really have a way to bring Ye Ranran back to your side, then I will sincerely wish you happiness. If not, then let’s just be entangled with each other."
