After her shower, Hai Xiaotang went downstairs and was greeted with the familiar, mouthwatering scent of food.

The housekeeper, Zhang Ma, had prepared a feast for her. As she ate the steaming hot dishes, Hai Xiaotang suddenly broke into tears.

“Miss, why are you crying?!” Zhang Ma was startled, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Hai Xiaotang wiped her tears and smiled, shaking her head, “I’m fine.”

“Then why are you crying? Did you remember something that hurt you?” Zhang Ma asked with concern.

Hai Xiaotang’s mother died during childbirth. She grew up without a mother, and it was Zhang Ma who took care of her.

To Hai Xiaotang, Zhang Ma was as dear as a mother.

What made her cry was the realization that, in her previous life, after she was sent to prison, she never tasted a good meal again.

Only now did she realize how blessed she was to be able to eat meals cooked by Zhang Ma every day.

She regretted how she had taken her blessings for granted and had foolishly thrown her life away.

“Zhang Ma, your cooking is really good. I just love your food…” Hai Xiaotang reassured her with a smile.

Zhang Ma grinned, “As long as you enjoy it, I’ll cook for you every day!”

“Okay.”

After dinner, it was getting dark.

Reclining on her bed, Hai Xiaotang tried to make sense of all that had happened in her previous life when she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine from downstairs.

Dongfang Yu was back!

Surprised, Hai Xiaotang knew that he seldom came home. She had assumed he would not be back that evening.

Dongfang Yu, with his tall figure, quickly made his way inside the bedroom.

Seeing Hai Xiaotang, who was still awake, leaning against the headboard, his gaze was cold. Without a word, he took a glance and then looked away.

Dongfang Yu had come back to collect some things. He grabbed two changes of clothes and was about to head to his study for some documents.

“Dongfang Yu,” Hai Xiaotang called after him. “We need to talk.”

The man looked back, his handsome features lit by the crystal lamp, radiating a sense of sophistication few in C City, or even the whole country, could match. Any woman would fall for him.

“About what?” He asked coldly, slightly smirked, “I’m not interested in what you have to say.”

He assumed she was going to confront him again about not treating her well.

A woman who manipulated him, how could he be nice to her!

“You will be interested,” Hai Xiaotang said with clear eyes, “I’ve thought about it. Let’s get a divorce.”

That surprised Dongfang Yu!

He squinted at her, “What trick are you trying to play now?”

“I’m not playing any tricks. You don’t like me, and I don’t want to carry on like this anymore. So let’s get divorced,” she replied.

Dongfang Yu frowned. Hai Xiaotang was acting out of character today.

First, she acted indifferent towards him, and now, she was proposing a divorce?… What was she up to?

He didn’t believe Hai Xiaotang had suddenly come to her senses, stopped liking him, and decided to let him go.

Nor did anyone who knew Hai Xiaotang. Everyone knew that she had been crazy about him since she was a little girl.

Dongfang Yu sneered, “Your new trick is indeed a novelty!”

In the past, Hai Xiaotang would pull all sorts of stunts to win his heart and attract his attention.

This time, it was the only one he found intriguing.

He didn’t believe it. “I’m serious,” Hai Xiaotang replied, sounding exhausted. “We should get a divorce. I mean it.”
