Su Yanxi sat on the single-seater sofa in the bedroom and quietly listened to the sound of flowing water coming from the bathroom. After a long while, the sound of flowing water stopped and the bathroom door opened. Su Yanxi then stuffed the white pill into her mouth and took two sips of water. She turned around and saw a strong and muscular figure reflected in her eyes.

Su Yanxi was stunned. She saw that the man who had just come out of the bathroom was half-naked, with only a towel wrapped around his lower body casually. There were still water droplets dripping from his black hair, and his cold eyes were covered with a layer of mist, giving off a seductive feeling.

Their eyes met in the huge bedroom. This sudden scene made Su Yanxi, who had always been calm and collected, feel a little lost. She turned her head unnaturally and tried to regain her usual tone, “Put on your clothes. Let’s talk!”

“Talk about what? Divorce?” Lu Jingyan took in her expression and did not mind. He went to the wardrobe as if nothing had happened and picked out some clothes. His tone even sounded a little relaxed.

“No…” Su Yanxi pursed her lips and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. She realized that he was still naked and had only thrown the clothes onto the soft bed.

Lu Jingyan walked to the edge of the bed and looked at her stern face through the full-length mirror in the corner. He asked coldly, “So you don’t intend to withdraw the lawsuit?”

Su Yanxi looked back and pursed her lips into a straight line. Actually, she had never thought about the divorce seriously. She simply thought that marriage with Lu Jingyan was meaningless. She would rather let go of each other and give them a chance to be happy. That was why she had filed the divorce lawsuit.

However, now that she thought about it, she and Lu Jingyan had a secret marriage to begin with. If it was brought to court, the fact that the two of them were married would more or less be exposed. At least, everyone in the court would know.

“If I withdraw the lawsuit, will you agree?” Su Yanxi asked slowly after thinking for a long time.

“No.” Lu Jingyan’s cold tone was full of certainty. He gave the answer without even thinking.

“What’s the reason?” Su Yanxi frowned and asked unhappily.

“There’s no reason. I, Lu Jingyan, don’t have the word ‘divorce’ in my dictionary, even if you’re not what I want.” Lu Jingyan retracted his gaze, lifted the blanket, and lay down. A fresh fragrance wafted over. He knew that this fragrance belonged to the woman in front of him.

Seeing that he had laid down on the bed, Su Yanxi quickly changed the topic and walked over to pull the blanket, “I don’t mind you moving back, but this is my room. You can sleep in the guest room.”

“Are you ordering me?” Lu Jingyan asked in a deep voice as he lay down.

Su Yanxi looked to the side. There was no change in her expression as she answered, “I’m chasing you away.”

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes at the look on Su Yanxi’s face that said, “I won’t let go until you leave.” His expression darkened as he reached out to grab her wrist. He gently pulled her to his side and whispered into her ear, “Chase me away? That depends on whether you have the ability. Before we get a divorce, I’ll still be your husband.”

Feeling a firm chest pressing on her back, Su Yanxi’s heart skipped a few beats. However, she immediately regained her rationality after hearing his words. She glared at him and struggled a few times, but the man was too strong. No matter how much she struggled, it was useless. In the end, she couldn’t help but swear, “Lu Jingyan, are you crazy?”
