Dan Xiuci turned around to look at Cai Jingyao, who had a pitiful look on her face. His voice was devoid of warmth. “And… no one will be able to find any clues. Our marriage can even last forever!”
On the other end of the line, Zheng Qiuhan’s already cold heart gradually became even colder. It was so cold that she was numb from all the pain.
So, was Dan Xiuci… really in love with that scheming woman called Cai Jingyao?
Zheng Qiuhan knew that Dan Xiuci had investigated Cai Jingyao thoroughly these few days. He clearly knew what kind of woman she was, yet he still went against her and tried to snatch her away from her!
When Dan Xiuci heard Zheng Qiuhan’s breathing, his hand in his pocket tightened slightly…
He was forcing Zheng Qiuhan to submit to him. He wanted to hear Zheng Qiuhan say that she could lead a normal married life with him.
All this while, he had only touched one woman—Zheng Qiuhan!
He knew Zheng Qiuhan was madly in love with him when he married her. But not long after, she suddenly wanted to divorce him, saying that she hated him.
However, his only thought was to dominate Zheng Qiuhan…
After giving it some more thoughts, Dan Xiuci wasn’t willing to divorce Zheng Qiuhan, nor was he willing to give in to her. He believed that Zheng Qiuhan still had him somewhere in the corner of her heart. Hence, he planned to use this woman called Cai Jingyao to make Zheng Qiuhan submit to him.
Hearing Zheng Qiuhan’s silence on the other end of the line, Dan Xiuci patiently waited.
After some time, Zheng Qiuhan said, “Alright… take her away!”
Zheng Qiuhan said this calmly as her heart was already at the bottom of the ice cave.
With that, she hung up.
On the other hand, Dan Xiuci held the phone in his hand and remained silent for a long time…
Later on, he got someone to bring Cai Jingyao, who was covered in a stench, into the car that he had just bought in Haicheng.
When Cai Jingyao got into a commercial car instead of sharing the same car as Dan Xiuci, she had already sensed that something was amiss, but she dared not sound out.
At the very least, regardless of whether Dan Xiuci was a gentleman or not, after spending so much time with him, he surely wouldn’t take her life on account of how much he used to like her, would he?
But Cai Jingyao had heard that many girls had died in Southeast Asia…
Cai Jingyao looked out the window. She realized that the car was driving further and further down the road into rural areas. She felt uneasy.
Cai Jingyao was brought to a house in the suburbs. She was brought straight to the basement without even having the chance to see Dan Xiuci.
“What do you mean by this? I want to see Xiuci! Let me see Xiuci…” Cai Jingyao struggled to get out, but the bodyguard pushed her down with one hand.
“Stay here and keep it down. Otherwise… no one will know even if you die here!” Dan Xiuci’s bodyguard said.
After locking Cai Jingyao up, the bodyguard went upstairs to report to Dan Xiuci.
Dan Xiuci had already taken off his suit jacket. He stood in front of the French windows and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was deep and fierce, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in it. He raised his glass and downed it, saying, “Just watch her, and don’t let her die yet. I still have use for her!”
“Understood, Sir!”
Dan Xiuci stood by the French windows, looking at the pitch-black darkness outside the villa. He was overwhelmed with emotions…
For the first time, Dan Xiuci had the feeling of loss—it was given to him by Zheng Qiuhan.
Dan Xiuci lit up a cigarette in frustration, recalling the time when the two of them used to have a peaceful life.
He had been using other women to provoke Zheng Qiuhan, but he now realized that he had reached Zheng Qiuhan’s bottom line.
Later on, when Dan Xiuci found out that Zheng Qiuhan had been secretly dealing with those women, making their lives miserable, he felt that Zheng Qiuhan still cared about him. He had been waiting for her to succumb and own up to her feelings.
He changed the women around him frequently, thinking that one day, Zheng Qiuhan would finally admit that she still loved him, just as she did in the past.
But, in the midst of the test… Zheng Qiuhan never once gave in. On the contrary, Dan Xiuci’s actions became a habit. He didn’t care about the fact that women kept coming and going from his side. Other than gifting these women bags, money, and houses, he didn’t have any feelings for them.
However, when Zheng Qiuhan brought up the word “divorce,” he realized that the distance between them seemed to only be getting further and further away; so much so that he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Even so, he had been an elite since he was young. He had never lowered his head to anyone, so why should he bow down to that woman who had once chased after him?
Dan Xiuci was a very proud man. He would never be the one to lower his head first in a relationship. He believed that bringing up the divorce was just Zheng Qiuhan’s way to subdue him!
In that case, they would see who would give in first.
Dan Xiuci lowered his head and poured himself another glass of wine. He downed it, and his eyelids turned heavy.
…
Because Maynard Sanchez had offered plenty of money, many killers who didn’t care about their lives were gathered in Haicheng.
Now that Lin Nuan had just been staying at home, Fu Huai’an pulled out the team he had arranged to protect Lin Nuan in the dark. He had to ensure that every assassin who came to Haicheng would be killed one by one. He would rather kill the wrong person than let them off.
Fu Huai’an rarely made such a ruthless decision. However, all the precious people to him were in Haicheng; including his wife, children, and brothers!
All the people he cared about were there. He had to ensure that they were safe.
Fu Huai’an didn’t go to the Kaide Corporation for a while, focusing on staying at home to accompany his wife and children.
Tuan Tuan was the happiest to see the family like this.
While Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were cooking snacks for the siblings, Tuan Tuan, who didn’t go to kindergarten, sat at the entrance of the kitchen with Yuan Yuan. Watching his parents cook, he felt incredibly blissful!
Yuan Yuan was sitting in the baby chair. Nobody knew what she was saying to Tuan Tuan, but Tuan Tuan always listened to Yuan Yuan attentively and responded to her chatters. The two of them chatted happily.
“Right! That’s a tomato. The first time I ate Mama’s food, it was tomato egg noodles. It’s super delicious! Yuan Yuan, do you want to eat it?” Tuan Tuan asked as he held onto the armrest of the baby chair.
“Eat, yiyaya… yiyayaya…”
Tuan Tuan nodded. “Yes! Mama made it especially delicious. Brother can eat two big bowls!”
Yuan Yuan imitated Tuan Tuan’s actions and nodded her head, her small hands gesturing wildly. “Mama… just a little!”
“No, Yuan Yuan can’t eat two big bowls. Yuan Yuan is younger than Brother, so she can only eat one bowl!”
What is this lass saying now…
