After two seconds of silence, Munni reacted to what he had said. A faint, mocking smile emerged from her throat, tinged with bitterness, as she said, "We’re just a divorced couple now, with no ties whatsoever."
She firmly drew a line between herself and Xu Yisen, leaving Xu Yisen somewhat frustrated.
The two had reached Munni’s doorstep. Xu Yisen paused, released her waist, turned slightly to face her, and softly called her name, "Munni..."
His voice was as soft as a whisper, causing Munni’s heartstrings to tremble slightly.
She couldn’t understand it; they had already divorced, so why was he still accompanying her home, and why did he... call her name so tenderly?
She lifted her head, looking directly at Xu Yisen, her eyes, slightly intoxicated, showing a stubbornness she couldn’t quite grasp. She parted her lips and said, "Yisen, what exactly do you want? We’re divorced now, I’ve stepped aside for you and Xia Yuge. What more could you want?"
The last four words were left unsaid because Xu Yisen had already pressed her against the wall, lowered his head, and dominantly kissed her soft, ripe lips.
Munni’s eyes widened in shock, the bright clarity of her eyes reflecting his face so close to hers.
After a moment, Xu Yisen finally released Munni, whose breath had gradually become labored. He leaned down slightly, whispered in her ear, "I want this."
The intimate atmosphere enveloped them like a web, drawing them tightly together.
His warm breath brushed against her ear and neck, and a flush instantly blossomed across her fair skin.
The slightly hoarse voice echoed in the quiet hallway, drifting into Munni’s heart like the wind, causing ripples and pulling forth countless gentle waves.
When Munni awoke from her sleep, it was already midday.
The rare indulgence of herself came with the price of a throbbing headache the next day.
She reached for her phone on the table and saw a missed call and an unread message from Tang Haoliang on the screen.
She furrowed her brows slightly as she unlocked the phone, glanced at the message, and then realized... tomorrow is the Fanshu Group’s board meeting.
And Tang Haoliang’s message was to remind her not to forget to attend the board meeting in the morning.
Before his death, Munni’s father owned shares in the Fanshu Group and was one of the shareholders and directors. After his passing, Munni naturally inherited all of her father’s assets, becoming one of the shareholders of the Fanshu Group.
One week after her father’s death, at the shareholders’ meeting, she was elected as one of the directors.
This would be the first board meeting she would attend, so Tang Haoliang, acting on Xu Yisen’s wishes, reminded Munni not to forget tomorrow.
Putting her phone down, Munni slowly walked to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
After showering, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked into the closet. Having chosen her clothes, she pulled off the towel, letting it slip to the floor.
As she was about to get dressed, she caught a glimpse of her body in the full-length mirror, noticing an inexplicable red mark on her previously pale right shoulder.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she took a few steps closer to the mirror, and the mark became more clearly visible.
"Yisen, what exactly do you want?"
"You’re free now, go find your Xia Yuge."
"I don’t want Xia Yuge, I only want you."
"I won’t, you clearly want it too."
Staring at her graceful figure in the mirror, fragmented memories flitted through her mind, causing Munni’s nerves to instantly tense.
