Xue Yan's voice was like a glass of ice water, emitting wisps of coldness that instantly froze Jiujiu's movements.
Jiujiu paused. She tilted her head and looked at Xue Yan's handsome face. "Well, Xue Yan, I don't want to get a divorce."
When Jiujiu stopped him, Xue Yan thought that Jiujiu was worried that he had not given her enough compensation. However, when he heard Jiujiu's words, a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes. His voice grew colder. "I don't want anything except for the Heart of the Ocean. Someone will help you with the transfer of the house tomorrow. Don't worry."
Xue Yan thought that Jiujiu was unwilling to get a divorce because she thought that the compensation was not enough.
Jiujiu sighed in her heart when she saw the disdain on Xue Yan's face. Just how much did the original owner love money to make Xue Yan think that way?
Jiujiu scooped the cooked dishes from the pot onto a plate. Then she picked up the plate and walked to the dining room. She looked at Xue Yan and said, "That's not what I meant. I really don't want to get a divorce."
Xue Yan frowned and looked at Jiujiu in confusion. He did not know what Jiujiu was up to.
Xue Yan stood where he was and watched as Jiujiu brought the dishes from the kitchen to the table. She then scooped two bowls of rice and placed them on the table. Xue Yan was even more confused.
Ruan Jiujiu had cried and made a fuss about getting a divorce yesterday. She said that this marriage had blocked her right to pursue happiness. Why was she not getting a divorce today? She was even preparing food. Even someone as smart as Xue Yan did not know what Jiujiu was up to.
Xue Yan was very confused. However, under Jiujiu's gaze, he sat down opposite Jiujiu and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
He was very busy at the company. He had already taken some time out of his busy schedule to deliver the divorce agreement to Jiujiu. This time, he had already passed the restaurant in the cafeteria. What awaited him was the cold takeout.
Instead of eating takeout, he might as well accept Jiujiu's invitation and eat with Jiujiu.
However, Xue Yan's expression was a little stunned after taking a bite.
The reason was that Jiujiu's cooking was simply too delicious.
Jiujiu's rice grains were distinct and exuded a strong rice fragrance. He had never eaten this before. On the other hand, Jiu's dishes were exceptionally beautiful in terms of seasoning and colors. He was starving, of course, it was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue of of of it. of course.
Xue Yan ate two bowls of rice in one go. He even finished the rest of the food before stopping.
Looking at the empty plate, Jiujiu stood up and looked at Xue Yan. "Are you washing the dishes?"
Xue Yan nodded.
Jiujiu turned and walked back into the house. After Xue Yan finished washing the dishes, he hurried back to the company.
In the company, Xue Yan's assistants, Li Qing and Wang Youran, were muttering about what Xue Yan had gone to do.
Li Qing had been by Xue Yan's side for the longest time. They had worked together for almost three years. He was very clear about how Xue Yan had been forced to marry Jiujiu by his stepmother.
A few days ago, when Xue Yan asked him to find a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement, he saw Wang Youran ask him about it, so he said, "He should be here to deliver the divorce agreement."
After all, Xue Yan's wife had been kicking up a fuss some time ago. Xue Yan did not have any feelings for her. Naturally, they parted ways and Xue Yan continued to look for his one true love.
Wang Youran, who had only been in the company for a year, instinctively covered her mouth when she heard Li Qing say that Xue Yan had delivered the divorce agreement. She said in surprise, "The president is married?"
Li Qing nodded and said disapprovingly, "I heard that it was an arranged marriage. It seems that the two of them don't have much feelings for each other. They've only been married for less than a year, and they're already asking for a divorce."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he lowered his head and went back to work. Wang Youran's eyes flickered when she heard Li Qing's words. She had a different idea in her heart.
After Xue Yan returned to the company, he went straight to his office and continued to work in full swing.
By the time he was done, it was already past one in the morning.
Usually, Xue Yan would make do in the lounge in the office for the night. However, Jiujiu suddenly appeared without makeup today and even cooked for him. Xue Yan was very puzzled. He wanted to go back and see what Jiujiu was up to.
Xue Yan returned home.
Jiujiu was already asleep.
The house was quiet, and there was only the fragrance of fresh flowers.
Xue Yan subconsciously tiptoed into the house and walked to the door of Jiujiu's room. Xue Yan pushed the door open. Under the moonlight, he saw Jiujiu lying on the bed.
Jiujiu's appearance had always been that of a delicate girl. Now that she was asleep and defenseless, she looked like a delicate and lovely kitten. It really made people want to hold her to their hearts and dote on her.
Even though Xue Yan did not have a good impression of Jiujiu, his heart could not help but soften when he saw Jiujiu like this.
Xue Yan glanced at Jiujiu, closed the door, and walked to his study.
After waking up, Xue Yan got up and washed up. Then, he saw Jiujiu sitting at the dining table. Jiujiu's breakfast was still steaming hot in front of her.
When she saw Xue Yan looking over, Jiujiu smiled brightly and said to Xue Yan, "Let's eat."
Jiujiu's tone was exceptionally natural, as if she had said it thousands of times.
Xue Yan wanted to say that he did not want to eat, but his brain unconsciously thought of the breakfast Jiujiu made last night. His mouth involuntarily secreted saliva, and his feet uncontrollably walked toward Jiujiu.
When Xue Yan came back to his senses, he was already eating the porridge with a spoon.
The porridge was very simple white rice porridge. It was fragrant and soft when cooked. Paired with Jiujiu's salad and a small plate of pickled vegetables, it was refreshing and delicious. It really felt comfortable from the mouth to the stomach.
If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach.
Xue Yan used to think that this sentence was ridiculous, but now, he inexplicably felt that this sentence was very true.
Because just two simple meals had made him, who originally hated Jiujiu, have an inexplicable good impression of Jiujiu.
After eating, Xue Yan habitually wanted to wash the dishes.
However, when Xue Yan picked up the bowls and chopsticks, Jiujiu stopped him. Jiujiu smiled gently and said softly, "You're busy with work. Let me do it."
Xue Yan's company was at the most critical juncture of the game development. Recently, he had been busy until midnight every night. He wished that he could use every minute as two.
Therefore, after Jiujiu said that she would wash the dishes, Xue Yan nodded, quickly put on his shoes, and walked quickly to the elevator.
Seeing Xue Yan's back disappear in front of her, Jiujiu threw the bowls and chopsticks into the sink. As she washed the dishes, she thought about how to solve the problems left by Ruan Jiujiu.
Because of the existence of Xue Yan's stepmother, although Ruan Jiujiu and Shi Jiang had already pledged their lives to each other, the most intimate relationship they had was just holding hands.
