It was a pity that Gu Juexi had lost his mind, engulfed by anger. It was a pity that he could not gauge the humbleness within her words. He could only sense the sting of irony.

“Ye Yuwei, all you want is just money, isn’t it? Mrs. Gu will never run out of money. You should not have an excessive desire to long for a relationship beyond your reach.” Gu Juexi said coldly. His gaze was extremely sharp as if he could read her mind and see through her deceptions.

Ye Yuwei merely sneered as she listened to his mocking words.

“Yes. I am greedy. So? Is this actually your revenge? What would CEO like to know?” Ye Yuwei fixed her gaze at him for a long while as she knew that once she looked away, she would lose.

Gu Juexi was also staring at Ye Yuwei, her current attitude was beyond his control.

“You know exactly what I want to know. So do you truly think your poor trick is successful?” Gu Juexi once again tightened his grip.

Poor trick? Ye Yuwei was stung by his ironic words but quickly regained her composure and laughed louder.

“Alright, I was wrong. I am sorry. Is CEO happy?” Ye Yuwei laughed as she walked toward Gu Juexi while he retreated with every step she took. Simply no one knew who had lost this time.

Her voice was trembling and filled with unspoken sorrows.

“I was wrong. I should not save your mother. I was wrong for being too excited when I was told that you had agreed to our marriage. I should not have faith in our marriage. It was my fault. Now I just want a divorce. Could you please let go of me?” The corner of her lips revealed her sorrow but she quickly hid her humbleness with an indifferent look.

“Is this the thing that you want to know? Are you happy?”

“Ye Yuwei!” Gu Juexi suddenly paused. His gaze was sharp as if he would strangle her to death in the next second.

“You actually have a glib tongue. I have truly underestimated you.” Gu Juexi walked towards her as he spoke, one step after another, regaining his dominion.

Her apologies were meant for their wrong marriage, none of them were meant for the divorce. Gu Juexi stared at her and subconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist.

It was because of him, the one who helped her in the hospital. ‘Lu Qichuan!’ Suddenly, this name crossed his mind and aroused a strange feeling that he was unable to control.

“Is it because of Lu Qichuan? Is it because of him that you can’t wait to divorce me and even provoke me with this? Because of him, you deny your love towards me all these years? But who do you think you are to stand beside him?”

Rage, fury, anger… Lu Qichuan had stirred up all kinds of strange feelings inside him.

His voice was extremely loud, cold and taunting.

Ye Yuwei’s heart was sinking, falling deeper and deeper until she could not even feel it anymore.

“Say something.” Her silence had aroused more and more strange feelings that he was not able to control.
