Chapter 267 - Divorce who?

"You don't have to worry about keeping my distance." Yuan Chi replied with a small smile on his lips. "So can you at least try the chocolate I gave you?"

She blinked a few times at his question before her lips curled up into a smile. She took a box and opened it. Inside was a bar of round-shaped chocolate with an almond in the middle.

"I heard that you like this flavor." He looked away, a small blush on his cheeks.

She chuckled and replied, "Actually I prefer dark chocolate."

"N-no way!" He shot his eyes back at her, wide in disbelief. "Your brother said that you like this flavor."

Shi Enxi smirked, raising an eyebrow at the process, "And you believe him?"

"…" Ah, he should have known. It was Shi Yi they were talking about. It was only normal for a protective brother like him to give false information.

"Don't worry, chocolate is still chocolate." She was obviously enjoying teasing him. She would be lying if she said that she didn't find him adorable. It was as if she has finally found a new toy to play with… but obviously she was not going to do that. If she was still single, she would definitely give him a shot to waste her time. He was handsome and really fun to tease but… her husband was more handsome of course. Aside from that, she would definitely choose Lu Mello again. He's rich. Mega rich. What more could she ask for?

Shi Enxi wasn't lying to him when she told him that as long as he has money, she will remain loyal to him.

She took the chocolate and popped it in her mouth.

Yuan Chi quietly watched her eat the chocolate, looking all nervous all of the sudden.

"Mmm… it's good."

He smiled in relief. Those chocolates weren't bought anywhere since they were homemade by him.

"It's not too sweet which I like." She took another one, "What brand is this?"

Before he could answer the question proudly, Shi Enxi continued, "My son will surely love this."

She began placing the small boxes inside her bag instead just so she could share them with her son later.

"…"

She raised her head just to look at him again, "Well?"

"You really know how to crush my heart into pieces huh?" He clenched the cloth on his c.h.e.s.t as he acted all hurt. "I made it myself just for you."

"Oh my, how rude of me." She remarked sarcastically, smiling apologetically at him.

"But if the way through your heart is your son then sure, you can give some to him. I can even make more." 

The smile on Shi Enxi's lips disappeared when she heard him say those words. This time, she was looking seriously at him, "Didn't you say that you'll keep your distance after this?"

"Yes, I did but that doesn't mean that I can't make a move from a distance." He smirked. "I never said that I'll give up."

"Then should I crush your heart further?"

"Ah, it's already broken ever since I learned that you married someone else but as I know, marriage is not the end. You can always have a divorce."

A small laugh escaped her which caught his attention. She leaned forward, resting her elbow on the desk before she placed her chin on her palm as she casually said, "Then you will have to wait forever, Mr. Yuan. But if you really want me to divorce my husband, be richer, be more handsome than him- oh wait, I prefer natural beauty so I guess you will never be able to steal my attention from my darling."

"…"

"Or if you're really going to wait for me to divorce him, then wait for him to go bankrupt." She continued with a grin plastered on her face.

The Skywort Corporation going bankrupt? That was impossible! As long as it was being led by a member of the Lu family, the business going bankrupt was something that will never happen. Besides, if Lu Mello failed to keep the business on top, the well-known Lu Yifeng, his father was still alive. 

It was entertaining for Shi Enxi to watch Yuan Chi's face change color from red to white to gray. "As you can already tell, divorce will only happen if his bank account turned zero."

"Who's going to divorce who?"

Hearing someone else's voice made both Shi Enxi and Yuan Chi turned towards the door just to see Lu Mello standing there while holding a bouquet of red roses.

Shi Enxi blinked a few times upon seeing her husband there, obviously not expecting his sudden visitation. She took a peek on her phone just to check if he sent her a message earlier but there was none at all.

"Darling~" She stood up from her seat and went towards her husband, "What brings you here?"

"I've come to pick you up." Despite saying that, Lu Mello was still looking at Yuan Chi with his scrutinizing gaze.

Once again, she blinked a few times. She looked at her wristwatch, "Ah, I didn't notice…" She trailed off. She turned her gaze back to the other guy and smiled at him. "Time does fly fast when we're enjoying our conversation."

"You are?" Lu Mello asked, raising a brow.

"Ah, let me introduce you to the CEO of LPM, Mr. Yuan Chi." Shi Enxi said, taking the part of introducing the other man which only made her husband wary. Why was she introducing the other man herself?

"I'm pretty sure Mr. Yuan already knows my husband, right?" She wrapped her arms around her husband's arm. With a wide smile, she continued, "But let me introduce him for formalities sake. This is my husband, Lu Mello." She said with a proud tone in her voice.

Who wouldn't know of Lu Mello? He was famous in the business world so even a small CEO like Yuan Chi knew of him. Although at that moment, what caught his attention was when Shi Enxi clung to her husband. His eyes instantly landed on their entwined arms.
