After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Once We’re Divorced, I Will Grant You Your Wish Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Once We’re Divorced, I Will Grant You Your Wish “Your reputation in Beijing hasn’t been good, especially in these past two years. We had always thought Qi Si would end up lonely for the rest of his life until his grandmother arranged your families’ marriage. But we never held out hope for a good outcome for you two,” Wang Jue’s gaze darkly swept over Shen Yan, “You should know that you’re not in a marriage of mutual affection, just fulfilling an old agreement.”

Shen Yan was, of course, aware.

Even before their registration, Qi Si had told her that they would divorce in two years.

Her memory was good; she didn’t need someone else to remind her.

Shen Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Wang Jue calmly, her words shocking, “Do you like Qi Si?”

“What?” Wang Jue was speaking seriously when he suddenly choked on her words, coughing violently, “Cough cough…”

His eyes were red from coughing.

Damn!

She was doing this on purpose.

“You, what the hell… scaring me all of a sudden… cough cough…”

Shen Yan watched him with an indifferent tone, “The way you assert your authority, it’s hard not to think along those lines. Actually, if you like him, I can understand; I’m not prejudiced.”

Wang Jue growled through clenched teeth, “I’m prejudiced!”

Still completely composed, Shen Yan retorted, “So, what you’re saying is you want to break up a marriage? As the saying goes, demolish a temple but never destroy a marriage. Aren’t you afraid of retribution, dying alone and rotting in your bed without anyone to care?”

Wang Jue: “…”

She was cursing him, wasn’t she?

Shen Yan: “Your affection, I’ll pass it along to Mr. Qi. After we’re divorced, I will bring you two together.”

Wang Jue’s mouth twitched violently: “…”

This woman, she wanted to kill him.

So ruthless!

After taking several deep breaths, Wang Jue managed to calm down, his face ashen, “Shen Yan, it’s best if Qi Si doesn’t find out about our meeting today.”

“Are you threatening me?” Shen Yan’s voice was light, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your crush on Mr. Qi a secret.”

Wang Jue felt like vomiting blood: “Who the hell likes that ice block, damn it, you’re trying to disgust me to death, aren’t you. Fine, you’re tough, really tough! I give up, madam, can we please talk properly?”

“Mr. Wang,” Shen Yan looked him in the eyes, her gaze cold, “I know I’m not worthy, thank you for the reminder.”

Wang Jue frowned deeply.

Why did he suddenly feel guilty?

When Wang Jue left, he was still thinking about the look in Shen Yan’s eyes when she had spoken.

He hit his hand against the car seat, “Damn! I’m just too nice.”

Could it be that he felt guilty because of Shen Yan’s words?

The assistant in the passenger seat pushed up his glasses, the corners of his mouth twitching faintly.

If Wang Jue was kind, there would be no villains left in the world.

Returning to the hotel at night, Shen Yan looked at the still-closed door, then opened her own room, dragging her tired body into the bathroom.

As she showered, Wang Jue’s words echoed in her mind.

Truly not mutual affection, truly together because of the old generation’s arrangement…

An unfavorable outcome and eventual divorce were just a matter of time.

It was Qi Si’s kindness that had made her forget these things.

Shen Yan turned the water temperature to the coldest and doused herself with it.

The icy sensation made her more awake.

The hairdryer buzzed, and even as she heard the knocking at the door, Shen Yan didn’t stop drying her wet hair.

She didn’t respond here, and her phone vibrated once.

The lit-up screen showed Mr. Qi’s contact name.

Shen Yan put down the hairdryer and looked at the message he sent for a long time.

“Midnight snack is outside the door; remember to take it.”

Shen Yan pursed her lips tightly, tapped a response, but eventually didn’t delete it. After a while, she opened the door and saw, sure enough, a steaming bowl of beef noodles.

He must have purposely bought it for her nearby, as she had browsed the area. The beef noodles in this bag were from that store around the corner of the commercial street, a route not on the way to and from where he had been.

To get back here, he had to walk around that way.

Shen Yan set the beef noodles on the table, stared at them for a while, and then started to eat.

Who cares what Wang Jue said, who cares about there not being a good outcome, about the arrangements made by the elders—they all disperse, she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

Shen Yan made a mental note of Wang Jue.

Seated in the car, Wang Jue suddenly sneezed twice, beginning to feel a chill.

Strange, winter had long passed, why would he still feel cold?

“Turn off the car’s air conditioning.”

Assistant: “Lord, the air conditioning isn’t on.”

Wang Jue: “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The assistant’s phone rang once, and upon seeing that it was a call from Qi Si’s assistant, he turned his head and asked, “Lord, it’s a call from Mr. Qi’s people. Should I answer it?”

Wang Jue suddenly shifted forward in his seat, “Don’t answer, don’t answer! Hang up, hang up.”

The assistant hung up the call.

In a flurry, Wang Jue said, “Bring over my private plane, I’m leaving Xia City immediately, this place is no longer tenable.”

God knows if that Shen woman would tell Qi Si something about him liking him.

Wang Jue felt like vomiting at the thought.

Damn Shen Yan, making it impossible for him to look Qi Si straight in the eye.

Thinking about the scene where he said he liked Qi Si, Wang Jue shuddered fiercely, feeling like he was going to retch… what should he do?

The assistant’s phone rang again, still from Qi Si’s assistant.

The assistant held it up to Wang Jue, for him to make the decision.

Wang Jue grabbed it with both hands.

“Snap!”

The phone was broken in half by Wang Jue.

Assistant: “…”

Driver: “…”

Wang Jue: “What are you looking at, hurry up and drive.”

On the other end, Qi Si’s assistant: “???”

Half an hour later.

Airport.

A private plane whooshed by overhead, disappearing into the dark clouds.

The next morning, Shen Yan got up very early; it was still dark outside when she opened the door of her room.

As soon as she opened her door, she saw that the door opposite was open, with Qi Si and his assistant standing outside.

The assistant was holding some documents and, seeing Shen Yan, left discreetly.

Qi Si glanced at the time, 5:30 AM.

“Did I wake you?”

“No, I went to bed early last night,” Shen Yan glanced at Qi Si, who was dressed in formal attire. Seeing such a handsome man early in the morning improved her mood significantly, “I just wanted to thank Mr. Qi in person for the beef noodles you bought me yesterday.”

Qi Si nodded, “It’s still early, continue sleeping.”

Saying this, he closed his door to leave.

“Mr. Qi.”

Qi Si paused, then turned back with a profound gaze at her.

Shen Yan smiled and said, “Take care on the road.”

Qi Si watched her smile for a few seconds, hmm’d in acknowledgment, and then turned to leave.

Shen Yan watched him enter the elevator and then withdrew back into her room.

The assistant saw Qi Si in the rearview mirror a couple of times, noting that the boss’s handsome face was less stern and more gentle today.

He had no idea what the lady had said to Mr. Qi to put him in such a good mood.

Qi Si looked forward, and the assistant immediately withdrew his gaze.

Qi Si’s cold voice filled the car: “What’s going on with Wang Jue?”

“Seems like he left Xia City overnight. Couldn’t get through to his phone; maybe Lord had some urgent issue to deal with and rushed back.”

“You handle the follow-up,” Qi Si said after signing the contract, not caring at all what Wang Jue was up to.

They had no idea that Wang Jue had fled in his plane overnight!
