Si Jingyu obviously said that to provoke Shi Jinyan, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt her heart clench tightly.

Suddenly, she understood why she had been avoiding him at all costs. It was because it was painful to just look at him.

Biting her lip, she suddenly felt like her trip here was really meaningless.

When he heard what she said, Shi Jinyans smile froze. He knew that both of them had already reached this stage, yet he still stubbornly refused to give up.

With clenched jaws, he held Si Jingyus hands very tightly. He felt like she would leave him if he let go of her.

Looking at Si Jingyu, he said, You spent two months overseas this time around. You have been back for more than a month. We havent been able to have a meal together. Give me a moment. Shall we go and have dinner?

Have dinner?

It was already 11 pm. Had this man not eaten dinner yet?

She was suddenly overwhelmed with heartache, but why should she have dinner with him?

She shook her head. Ive had dinner.

Shi Jinyan paused for a moment before saying, I havent eaten. Shall we have supper downstairs?

He could sense her reluctance, but he continued to hold her hand tightly. Or we can have some tea and snacks at the pantry. I have something to tell you. Jingyu, I

Before he could finish speaking, someone rushed over. Mr. Shi, I need your signature on this document.

Shi Jinyan frowned. Give me a moment.

Then, he turned around and looked at Si Jingyu anxiously. If you are still reluctant, we can just have a brief talk here.

A brief talk

Si Jingyu stared at him intently.

Due to his poor family circumstances, Shi Jinyan was especially hardworking when it came to his job. After slogging for so many years, hed managed to start his own estate business before he even turned 30 years old. Amongst their circle, he could be considered to be the most outstanding one.

He was cautious and conscientious regarding his work. In the past, he even used to work overtime for long hours and not go home.

However, now That secretary looked anxious. It was obvious that the document that required his signature was a very important one, but he actually asked his secretary to wait due to his personal reasons.

An inexplicable feeling overwhelmed her suddenly.

In the past, she had tried all sorts of ways to make him pay attention to her even if it was for one mere second. However, he had always been aloof and cold.

But now

What a clear irony this was.

She looked down. For some reason, she felt a slight urge to laugh and cry.

She pursed her lips again before saying, Okay, speak.

Okay, speak

These two words made Shi Jinyan freeze on the spot.

He suddenly realized that he actually didnt know what to say.

He had invited her to eat dinner, supper, and even snacks just so he could make her stay and look at her a little longer.

However, when she actually asked him to speak, his longing for her vanished all of a sudden. As if he was suddenly diagnosed with aphasia, he could not make out anything that could convey his feelings toward her.

Shi Jinyan looked at Si Jingyu intently. Actually, everything he wanted to say could be expressed in one sentence. That was, Wifey, dont go.

Wifey, dont divorce me.

However, he just could not say those words, which were at the tip of his tongue.

At the thought of Xin Xin at home and Bai Yue, he knew that he could never make up for the pain he had inflicted upon Si Jingyu throughout this marriage.

But, for him to let go of her?
