Chapter 427: Chapter 428: Heartless Woman
Xia Yangyang’s gaze fell on the document.
Yet she seemed to murmur to herself, “No, he will definitely sign it.”
Xia Yangyang looked up and forced a smile at Fang Zhengdong, “Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Fang.”
With that, Xia Yangyang turned and left.
But Secretary Fang stood still, holding the document as if it were a hot potato.
In the end, he resigned himself to the task and entered the CEO’s office with a heavy heart.
At that moment, Gu Qichen was deep in thought, hands crossed at his mouth, his gaze falling somewhere…
Yes, President Gu, known as a workaholic, was… daydreaming.
Secretary Fang approached and tentatively called out, “President.”
Gu Qichen looked up, his voice chilly and indifferent, “What is it?”
Fang Zhengdong placed the document on Gu Qichen’s desk, “Miss Xia came by just now. She asked me to hand this to you, she also said…”
Gu Qichen had already seen the document.
The words ‘divorce agreement’ seemed particularly jarring.
Gu Qichen’s aura seemed to drop to a freezing point, causing even Fang Zhengdong to shiver involuntarily.
“She also said?” Gu Qichen’s voice was icy cold.
“She said that you would definitely sign it.”
But Gu Qichen took the document and threw it away with force.
Papers flew out of the folder and scattered across the floor.
Fang Zhengdong took a step back without any change in his expression and stood beside Gu Qichen, wishing he could disappear.
Fang Zhengdong, who had been with Gu Qichen for many years, had seen the President angry before.
But he had never seen him act so cold, ruthless, out of control, and angry.
Fang Zhengdong quickly exited the office.
The CEO’s office was unusually quiet.
Gu Qichen clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his backhand were distinctly visible.
Xia Yangyang, is our marriage truly so fragile and susceptible to hardship?
Why is it that every time we encounter difficulties, your first thought is to give up on our marriage?
Is this marriage really so insignificant in your eyes?
Gu Qichen slowly unclenched his fists.
In the end, he picked up each and every page from the floor.
But the words Xia Yangyang uttered at the hospital kept echoing in his mind.
Xia Yangyang said, if he didn’t divorce her, she would go to Gu Zhaohan!
She was forcing him to sign the divorce with this approach.
However, Gu Qichen, who had always been invincible, was feeling a sense of defeat for the first time.
He was at a loss in the face of Xia Yangyang’s relentless and heartless decision.
Moreover, his sister was also in some kind of trouble.
Gu Qichen collected the papers, putting them back in their folder, and into the desk drawer.
Xia Yangyang was filled with anger and mentioned divorce at every opportunity.
Gu Qichen felt that this was not the right time to discuss things with her.
Things must be put on hold for now.
Gu Qichen sent a text message to Xia Yangyang, “I have to go to Tokyo for a business trip for a week. When I return, we’ll talk about the divorce.”
The only solution now is to let time heal Xia Yangyang’s wrath. He hoped that they would be able to sit down and have a calm discussion when he came back after a week.
When Xia Yangyang received this message, she was daydreaming in the campus library.
Though it was winter break, she was buried in her thesis.
Fortunately, with the school almost empty because of the holidays, Xia Yangyang was finally at peace.
Xia Yangyang stared at the message for a long time.
She was unsure whether Gu Qichen was just buying time, or if he was seriously contemplating the divorce..
