"Tell me, what are you thinking?" On the sofa, Mu Shaosi and Xinran stared at each other. After a moment, he calmly spoke up and asked.
"What I'm thinking doesn't matter; what matters is what you're thinking," Xinran replied, gazing indifferently into Mu Shaosi's deep eyes.
"What am I thinking? Haven't I already made it very clear to you?" He gritted his teeth. This woman was once again acting this way, her face devoid of expression, her words lacking warmth. He couldn't understand what had happened during this time that had caused her heart, which had once begun to thaw, to freeze up again. All he knew was that he needed to break the ice once more to win her acceptance.
Takahashi Ryu sat in a corner, listening to the strange conversation between the two with confusion. He glanced at his goddaughter beside him; she seemed completely engrossed in the scene. So he held back his urge to ask questions and continued to watch the live drama unfold.
"So, you want to marry me and make my identity public?" Xinran exclaimed in disbelief. She was increasingly baffled by what this man was thinking.
He always commanded like a king, and she had no choice but to obey his orders. Perhaps it was because of her love for him that she couldn't refuse, but he also clearly understood her weaknesses and could use them against her at any moment, leaving her with no room for rebuttal.
At first, he used Xia Sheng Group as bait, forcing her to sign a three-month contract to marry him. Later, when he was injured, she only intended to visit him, but he invaded her reason with desire and compelled her to stay and take care of him. She had agreed to all of this and knew she couldn't refuse; after all, this man had a poppy-like quality that made it easy for people to become addicted...
However, when she decided to withdraw and protect her heart, he suddenly called on her to choose a wedding dress as if granting a great amnesty because he wanted to marry her and publicly acknowledge her as Mu Shaosi's wife. How ridiculous! She had never been a wife he couldn't publicly acknowledge; she was merely a temporary wife, so she didn't care about the so-called title!
She worried about his injury and came to Japan to see him but found herself unwittingly caught up in a series of dramatic events meticulously orchestrated by his grandfather. Some watched with keen interest while others observed coldly from the sidelines; only she performed diligently like a fool. When Takeuchi Yasuko was sent away and she witnessed the way he interacted with his grandfather, she had already guessed many things...
His grandfather had always been deliberately making things difficult for her. Seeing him sleep with Takeuchi Yasuko might have been part of his grandfather's plan as well. But now that she knew he hadn't betrayed her, she wanted to laugh but couldn't muster even a smile; all that remained in her heart was a bit of relief mixed with greater sorrow!
Just as his grandfather said, in the end, he would marry a woman from an equally prestigious background. Setting aside his identity as Japan's Underworld Young Master, he was still the president of Qingtian Group—positions far beyond her reach! It wasn't that she thought too little of herself; it was just that she suddenly realized how could she ever truly hold onto such a man in the future? Moreover, she wasn't even sure how much sincerity he had for her because who would treat marriage as a game? It must be only him!
"Yes!" Mu Shaosi nodded, his gaze fixed on Xinran's every move, even the slightest expression.
"Should I remind you that we still have a contract between us? I thought you wouldn't forget that today marks exactly three months!"
"And then?" Mu Shaosi suddenly raised the corners of his mouth after hearing Xinran's words and asked.
"Then we should sign the papers to end this marriage. Isn't that what you wanted me to sign in the contract?" Xinran stared at Mu Shaosi's smile, feeling a hint of strangeness.
"Where will you go after the divorce?"
"Wherever I need to go, but that shouldn't concern you!"
"Are all women as heartless as you? Summer, my wounds haven't healed yet. Are you not afraid that I'll get too emotional and tear them open again?" Mu Shaosi avoided discussing the contract and casually joked.
"What do you think I should do?"
"Alright, let's talk about the divorce tomorrow. There's still one day left today." After saying this, Mu Shaosi stood up, gave Xinran a meaningful glance, and turned to leave.
If she hadn't mentioned the divorce, he might have almost forgotten about it. Now that she brought it up, he would let her wait and see how she could escape his line of sight!
