Chapter 503: Chapter 503: I Want You to Step Down, Making Room For Her! _1
Ye Xiandong was on the phone when he saw Qiao Qiao come out, his gaze fixed on her.
Her pajamas weren’t revealing, but they perfectly accentuated her figure. Especially her slender long legs, which inexplicably stirred him.
He previously had no desires for his wife until a few months ago when he accidentally saw her naked body, and found himself enchanted.
At the moment, another desire arose in him, an urge to make love to her…
He hastily hung up the phone and approached Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao felt like Ye Xiandong was getting too close, so she subtly stepped back: “Just say what you have to say.”
Cao Shiyu was pregnant with Ye Xiandong’s child, and Ye Xiandong wanted that child. She knew the only way was to step aside for Cao Shiyu.
She had held onto this loveless, desire-less marriage for three years. She had done everything and tried everything, and now, her heart felt as dead as ashes. What more can she do?
The cold look in Qiao Qiao’s eyes extinguished the fire in Ye Xiandong, and he was close to spoiling big things for the sake of carnal pleasures.
“Since you know that Shiyu is carrying my child, then you should know what should be done?” Ye Xiandong spoke calmly.
Hearing Ye Xiandong’s light and breezy words, Qiao Qiao was applying skincare to her face and an inexplicable hatred surged within her.
Why should she cooperate with him unconditionally? Why should she be subjected to such treatment just because she loved him? She had to endure all this as a matter of course?
“Sorry, I am not the roundworm in your stomach. I have no idea what you wang.”
Did Ye Xiandong want her to voluntarily step aside? His calculation was not bad.
But she was not a fool. She had willingly degraded herself in the past three years, but that didn’t mean she would allow Ye Xiandong to continue trampling on her!
Ye Xiandong was always good at calculation. He knew Qiao Qiao liked him, her eyes did not lie.
He thought that no matter what he wanted, Qiao Qiao would go along with him. This time, however, something seemed off.
Or was it because she loved him too much, she was reluctant to abandon the title of Madam Ye?
“I want you to step down and make way for Shiyu!” Ye Xiandong didn’t beat around the bush.
Qiao Qiao looked at the stoic Ye Xiandong, her heart aching. This was the man she had deeply loved, the man for whom she had given everything to secure their marriage.
She held back the throbbing pain in her heart and replied in a faint voice, “I can make room for Miss Cao. However, what I want in return, I’m afraid, you are not willing to give!”
“Speak.” Ye Xiandong didn’t believe that a small woman like Qiao Qiao could play any tricks.
To be precise, he had never taken Qiao Qiao seriously. He thought of her as his pet, who would come when he called and leave when he waved.
Even if he threw her a bone, she would enthusiastically scamper over to him and take it away.
“I want half the shares of the Ye Family that you own, plus ten billion in alimony. Agree to these two conditions, and I will immediately step aside for you and Miss Cao.” Qiao Qiao got up and said, “Otherwise, don’t even dream about divorcing me!”
Ye Xiandong looked at Qiao Qiao in disbelief. The woman, who he had always manipulated, dared to ask for such a high price?
“You dream! Don’t assume you won’t get punished for your impertinence. Even if you don’t agree to divorce, I can still find a way to bring Shiyu into the Ye Family!” After saying this, Ye Xiandong slammed the door and left.
A cold smile hung on the corner of Qiao Qiao’s mouth.
She believed that a person would become numb to pain over time, and there would come a day when the hurt would stop. She was anticipating that day…
