An Nuan waited for him to continue speaking, but after a long pause, he remained silent. Her heart raced anxiously, almost leaping out of her chest, as her small eyes carefully observed his every move, unsure of what he really meant.
She tapped her fingers on the table, uncertain whether he agreed or disagreed.
In truth, she wouldn't hold it against him if he disagreed.
After all, she was the one who had failed to uphold her own principles by getting married.
No one wanted to go from being newlyweds just hours ago to being in a second marriage so soon.
"Um..."
"What?"
Ye Yunfeng asked lazily, his deep-set eyes fixed on her, causing An Nuan to lose her confidence instantly.
She lowered her head, then awkwardly raised it again to smile at him. "Um... I was just joking; don't take it to heart."
"Yeah, I know."
Ye Yunfeng responded as if he hadn't taken her seriously at all, and An Nuan felt like crying.
Big brother, what do you know?
You don't know anything!
But once words are spoken, they are like water spilled; she had said it was just a joke, and she couldn't possibly say she was serious now. That would be asking for trouble.
As she contemplated how to break the awkward silence, she heard Ye Yunfeng say, "I understand your difficulties, but at the moment, I really cannot fulfill your request for a divorce. However..."
"Hmm?"
His words trailed off, prompting An Nuan to hurriedly press for more information.
What did he mean? She needed to understand clearly. She couldn't go through life in a haze, especially if they were going to live together in the future.
While her mind raced, Ye Yunfeng continued, "If you decide to pursue a relationship with your superior, I have no objections. I understand your predicament; breaching a contract is no small matter, and the compensation involved is significant. This also affects your future in the entertainment industry. As your new husband, I support any decision you make."
"W-what did you say? I-I didn't quite catch that."
An Nuan stammered.
She felt certain that she must have misheard him.
This man was stating quite firmly that as her husband, he actually didn't mind her straying outside their marriage, nor did he care if it made him look foolish?
Heavens!
He didn't seem like the type to rely on a woman for support. Earlier at the casino, he had been quite commanding in front of that Chu Shao; how could he suddenly change now?
Did he know something about the insider information regarding Xing Hui and the Major Shareholder?
"You’re supporting me like this; could it be that the Major Shareholder of Xing Hui is a gay man? Or perhaps has some hidden illness? Maybe it’s even a woman?"
"I’m not the Major Shareholder of Xing Hui, how would I know the insider details? I still need you to support me in the future, so of course, I’ll back all your decisions."
"I... support you?"
Oh my.
Was there something wrong with her ears, or was there something wrong with what he said? Why was she having a hard time understanding him?
He was so wealthy; did he really need her to support him?
Just looking at his outfit, he was either rich or of high status.
Although she didn’t know many top executives, she had some knowledge about people’s attire.
At a glance, this suit was high-end and custom-made; one piece of clothing cost more than her entire paycheck for a role. She certainly couldn’t afford to support someone like him.
"You’re the one who needs to take responsibility for me, so of course, you’ll support me. I came to ask you where I’ll be staying tonight."
