Pulling back her right hand, Lin Nuannuan weakly scratched her hair. What exactly did Ning Shiyu want? Was this kind of torment even meaningful?
Marrying Ning Shiyu—Lin Nuannuan felt it was the stupidest thing she's ever done.
Ye Ke, Su Linfei, and all those sexual scandals.
Divorce—she had to divorce immediately.
Aside from those two words, Lin Nuannuan couldn't think about anything else.
The next day at noon, as Ning Shiyu returned to the office, he caught sight of Lin Nuannuan sitting in front of her computer, grinning like spring breeze.
"Good boy, today you ate a big bowl of rice—so awesome, so impressive."
"Missed mommy? Mommy will pick you up after work."
Outside the door, Ning Shiyu held his breath, remembering what Lin Nuannuan had said: "Ning Shiyu, just so you know, I've been cheating on you for ages."
And Lu Jinyun's call last night, "Shi Yu, listen to mom's advice—hurry up and get the divorce paperwork done with Nuannuan. She said, if you finish the divorce before New Year's, she'll return the shares to you."
Ning Shiyu's brows furrowed tightly, his face changing instantly. She had a man? So she couldn't wait to push for divorce?
She'd rather give up Ning Group's shares—just to be with that guy?
This relationship really was the fucking definition of loyalty.
Ning Shiyu glared angrily at Lin Nuannuan, chatting and laughing. She wanted to fly off with that adulterer—daydreaming.
"Shenshen, call me mommy, co...could you?" Lin Nuannuan's words trailed off as she spotted Ning Shiyu at the door, her voice instantly deflated.
What was with that look on his face? It's lunch break—can't she video call?
And besides, she owned one more share than him—he couldn't boss her around. If he couldn't stand her, he should get the paperwork done sooner.
Lin Nuannuan suddenly rolled her eyes, grabbed the remote from the desk, and closed the office curtains tightly.
Ning Shiyu returned to his office, fuming and restless the whole afternoon.
His mind was filled with Lin Nuannuan joking with others, and her conniving ways of forcing him into a divorce.
"Zhuo Fan, check who Lin Nuannuan has been in contact with these past few years." In the end, he couldn't hold back and called Zhuo Fan.
Once he found out who Lin Nuannuan's lover was, if he didn't skin him alive, he wasn't Ning Shiyu.
After work, the two happened to bump into each other at the door.
Taking the same elevator to the parking garage, one in front, one behind, getting in their cars, acting colder than the other—neither spoke a word.
Tonight a client was treating them to dinner, and Lin Nuannuan had also been invited.
As the second-largest shareholder of Ning Group, she was already famous in City A, and daring to go head-to-head with Ning Shiyu—that was unheard of and likely never to be repeated.
Ning Shiyu entered the private room, and their hosts immediately stood up: "President Ning, finally you're here, please take the seat of honor."
"Shi Yu." Ye Ke was there, too, and was seated to Ning Shiyu's left.
A short while later, Lin Nuannuan pushed open the private room door, draped in a dark gray wool coat, face stern and unsmiling, giving off a particularly cold vibe.
"This must be the heroine of Ning Group, President Lin."
"Never expected President Lin to be so young—we're all a bit embarrassed here."
With Lin Nuannuan's arrival, the men became even more eager, having heard she was ruthless and sharp, managing to snatch 21% of Ning Group's shares.
Now seeing her in person—a pretty little thing—those men couldn't help falling over themselves to please her.
"President Lin, sit here with me." Ye Ke quickly got up to free a seat.
Lin Nuannuan glanced over, realizing only then that Ning Shiyu had brought Ye Ke along.
