Xiao Minxing's expression suddenly darkened. He reached out to pull me, but I dodged and turned to walk towards the Elevator.
Hearing footsteps behind me, I knew he was following, but I didn't look back. I felt anxious and angry, and it was suffocating.
Chen Xiangzhi.
Without much thought, I recognized who this woman was—the daughter of the boss who had pressured him into drinking and marrying her.
Xiao Minxing told me he didn't agree to cooperate and wouldn't divorce me to marry this woman. So why was he out meeting her now?
If there was really nothing between them, he could have avoided me; I'm not the type to get jealous at the sight of another woman.
He even lied about seeing Miyong and Ye Guang, only to end up meeting her.
I don't know why this woman is here, but Xiao Minxing must have some connection with her. We had clearly been together all this time, yet I had no idea how they were in contact.
Was I too oblivious to think about this, or was he just too secretive? He hid it flawlessly.
Xiao Minxing caught up to me in the Elevator. His face looked bad, his lips tightly pressed together, and his gaze at me was gloomy.
I initially thought he would explain, but he didn't say a word. Seeing that I stood still, he went ahead and pressed the Elevator button for his floor.
The little anger I had flared up like adding fuel to a fire when I saw his expression.
When I turned my head to glare at him, it felt like I was staring into cotton; he showed no reaction and didn’t seem inclined to explain himself.
I felt like every cell in my body was about to explode. I simply couldn’t share an elevator with him. Taking advantage of the doors not closing tightly yet, I rushed out.
But my body was suddenly pulled back by Xiao Minxing.
He was very strong, and as he pulled me back, the elevator doors closed and it quickly ascended.
“Let go,” I shouted at him.
He didn’t let go; instead, he wrapped his arms around me and said, “Let’s talk in the room, okay?”
“Hell no, you go back by yourself.”
I struggled to free myself from his grip, but no matter how hard I tried, my size and strength were no match for his. Despite sweating from the effort, I couldn’t escape, and soon the elevator reached our floor.
Xiao Minxing said nothing as he picked me up and walked into the room.
I didn’t want to shout and wake everyone up, but with my hands and feet bound, I still couldn’t jump down from him. He brought me back to the room and slammed the door shut.
Only then did he look at me seriously and say, “She just happened to be here; it was a coincidence. If you want to know something, feel free to ask. Why are you making a scene?”
I could hardly believe these words were coming from Xiao Minxing. He had gone out to meet another woman without telling me, and now he was asking why I was making a fuss?
Perhaps it was too unexpected; I widened my eyes at him but couldn't utter a single word.
He stood at the Entrance, facing me, but there was a hint of frost on his face.
The two of us were locked in a standoff for a few minutes before he spoke again: "Fine, I'll tell you everything. I do have contact with her, but it's not what you think. Although her father initially thought that way, Chen Xiangzhi doesn't have those intentions towards me. We're just keeping in touch as casual friends."
Casual friends?
What a ridiculous term.
I had said countless times that I was just casual friends with Su Qian; did he ever believe that?
Now that Chen Xiangzhi has come into the picture, because her family is wealthy and she is a socialite, her father supports Xiao Minxing in divorcing and marrying her, so they can naturally be considered casual friends?
I straightened up and took a step toward the Entrance, getting closer to Xiao Minxing, able to see every expression on his face, not missing even a glance.
"Alright, now please move aside; I want to go out to dinner with my friend."
He stood still, his gaze growing colder by the moment.
I had seen this expression far too many times two years ago; I could almost predict the coming storm.
But right now, I wasn't afraid of him at all. Whatever he wanted to do, let him come; after all, his ultimate goal was divorce. What was there to fear?
I raised my head high. Although I had no advantage in front of him, who was much taller than me, I didn't want to appear weak.
“Qiu Yuhan, are you done yet?”
“Yes, I'm not done. Is it only allowed for you, Xiao, the CEO, to have friends? Can't I have them too?”
Xiao Minxing's lips pressed into a thin line, and the muscles on his face were tense. He looked at me with dark, cold eyes, and the fierce aura made my heart chill. But how could I back down now?
Things had escalated to this point. He hadn't given me a good explanation for his actions, nor had he apologized or admitted his mistakes. Instead, he told me it was his friend. If friends were so important, then what was the point of having a wife?
I dashed past him and reached for the door.
I thought he would grab me, but he didn't.
I successfully exited the room and heard the sound of the door closing behind me.
My pace slowed as I moved forward, and tears fell uncontrollably.
All the frustration and grievances surged in my chest, causing pain, but once I got into the elevator, I didn't know where to go.
I didn't look for Su Qian. Although I knew he was smart and would help me, at that moment, I just wanted to be alone; it was best if I didn't see anyone.
I walked along the street outside the hotel for a long time. The night breeze was slightly cool, and the crowd gradually thinned out. The city lights illuminated everything in front of me, yet there were still many things I couldn't see clearly.
I thought about a lot of things in a messy way, only to realize in the end that it seemed like I hadn’t thought about anything at all; my mind was completely blank.
I didn’t know who had draped a piece of clothing over me, but in this unfamiliar city, this little warmth was touching.
But when I turned my head, I unexpectedly saw Xiao Minxing's face.
The coldness and anger he had shown before had disappeared, replaced by a look of guilt and helplessness. After a while, he softly said, "Alright, I'm not angry anymore. Let's go back."
I didn’t want to go with him.
The person who did something wrong could act as if nothing had happened, but I couldn’t.
I tore the clothing off and threw it at him, saying, "Why are you following me? Shouldn’t you be with that big boss's daughter? I'm not your friend."
Xiao Minxing slightly closed his eyes, draped the clothing back over my shoulders, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, saying, "Tomorrow is Mina's wedding. Are you planning to cause a scene all night and ignore your friend?"
His words reminded me; yes, tomorrow was Mina's wedding. We had already agreed to go over early in the morning to be there as her family, watching her get ready and put on her wedding dress. But now...
"What time is it?" I asked.
Xiao Minxing glanced at his watch and said, "It's just past twelve. If we go back now, eat something and take a shower, we should still be able to sleep for three or four hours."
