Su Yanxi glanced at the list on the coffee table. She knew what it was after a quick glance. Pursing her lips, she looked up at his sharp gaze and asked calmly, “Explain what?”

“You want a divorce?” Looking at her nonchalant expression, Lu Jingyan felt a ball of fire in his chest and could not vent it out no matter what.

“Yes.” Su Yanxi stood there, neither humble nor arrogant. There was a hint of determination in her faint voice, and she did not even look away from him.

Hearing her affirmative answer, he narrowed his eyes and loosened his tie. His cold voice came out from his thin lips. “What’s the reason?.”

Su Yanxi looked down with a faint smile on her lips, but her tone was cold. “According to the matrimonial laws, those who have been separated for more than two years can request for a divorce. Is this considered a reason?”

Lu Jingyan narrowed his cold eyes and stood up. He unbuttoned his light blue shirt and approached her slowly. “So, are you accusing me of not fulfilling my duty as a husband?”

“No…” She didn’t even think about it.

Looking at the man’s handsome face that was so close to her, Su Yanxi’s heart skipped a beat. Coupled with the strong masculine scent lingering at the tip of her nose, she instinctively took two steps back. She only stopped when she was blocked by the sofa and had nowhere to go. She looked up, “I didn’t mean that…”

“No?” Lu Jingyan followed her footsteps and approached her without any intention of backing down. His warm breath landed clearly on her pretty face, “What does that mean? Do you feel that such a marriage is too lonely?”

“I just feel that such a marriage is meaningless.” Su Yanxi frowned and turned her head to avoid his breath.

“Meaning?” Lu Jingyan looked at her side profile and slowly straightened his body, “I’ll let you feel the meaning of this marriage.”

Su Yanxi looked back and saw Lu Jingyan bend down to pick up his suit jacket and the list on the coffee table before leaving the villa.

When she heard the electronic door close, Su Yanxi sat on the sofa. She looked up at the ceiling and recalled what Lu Jingyan had said earlier. She slowly closed her eyes.

The next day, as soon as Su Yanxi arrived at the office and sat down, Mo Bai pushed open the office door and walked in, “Yanxi, I heard from Yi Yao that you were looking for me yesterday? Why didn’t you call or send me a WeChat message?”

Su Yanxi glanced at him and took out her laptop from her bag. She smiled faintly, “It’s nothing important, so I didn’t call you.”

“Nothing important?” Mo Bai pulled out a chair and sat down, “So, what is it?”

Su Yanxi turned on her computer. Seeing that Mo Bai was about to ask her the truth, she pursed her lips and found an excuse to brush him off, “I just wanted to have dinner with you! I don’t even know what to eat.”

“Sure! How can you not tell me something so important?” Mo Bai was excited when he heard that, “I’m meeting a client in the afternoon. Let’s go to dinner tonight! We’ll go eat barbecue together and call Yanyan.”

“Not tonight.” Su Yanxi shook her head sadly and pushed the tablet in front of him, “My team will probably have to work overtime tonight. The new lawsuit is a little complicated, so there’s a lot of information that needs to be sorted out.”

Mo Bai sighed in disappointment, but there was nothing he could do, “Alright! Let’s go and eat it next time!”

“Okay, but you can ask Yanyan to eat with you tonight.” Su Yanxi smiled and gave him a suggestion.
