Shang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
As Qu Xiao buried her head in his embrace, some of her hair fell on his neck. It emitted a lemon fragrance, seeming to be intentionally teasing his Adam’s apple.
Shang Yan’s eyes darkened. He wanted to push her away.
Knock knock!
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time. Shang Xinchen leaned against the door frame and clapped with a teasing expression. “Amazing!”
“Yesterday, you were demanding to leave with Ling Chi. But today, you throw yourself at my brother. You’re really a heartless and slutty b*tch!”
“Did you realize that Ling Chi can’t give you the life you wanted? Have you remembered my brother’s care for you? Did you change your mind because you want to stay in this family that had been your cash cow?”
Shang Xinchen’s words were harsh. Qu Xiao’s face flushed as her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes.
Shang Yan signaled with his eyes for Shang Xinchen to shut up.
No matter what, Qu Xiao was still his wife. He would not allow others to judge her.
Shang Xinchen was so angry that he rushed to Qu Xiao with his index finger nearly poking her nose, saying, “Shang Yan! Haven’t you seen through this woman?”
“The photos in your mailbox were all taken by private detectives. After she got married, she frequently met with Ling Chi!”
“Have you forgotten? She even came to the company yesterday and caused trouble in your office, threatening you to sign the divorce agreement!”
“She even said that she wanted to elope with Ling Chi in front of the shareholders. She did not care about your face at all!”

Shang Xinchen was so angry that he wanted to slap Qu Xiao. He clenched his fists with the veins on his arms bulging. He was trying his best to suppress his emotion.
“At that time, someone in the conference room secretly took a video and uploaded it online. Now, it has become a hot topic. Even if the public relations department is working overtime to remove the searches, the video is still spreading! Our family is so humiliated!”
“Do you think she can make up for all the losses by just saying a few good words to you?”
Shang Xinchen walked in front of Shang Yan. He tried his best to adjust his tone and persuade him, “Shang Yan, because of her, the company’s stock price has been affected. Now, it has dropped by five percent.”
“The shareholders all want you to divorce her. Otherwise, they will withdraw their stocks. You can’t be soft-hearted!”
There was a moment of silence in the room. Qu Xiao lowered her head and secretly thought, “Gosh! How many stupid things have you done!”
Now, even if she wanted to rebuild a good impression in Shang Yan’s heart, she would probably have to think of a way to stay first.
Shang Yan played the video on his phone. Qu Xiao’s voice came from it. Every word she said made Qu Xiao wish to hide. She was so embarrassed that her face blushed.
Shang Xinchen crossed his arms and raised his chin as he stared at Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao’s eyes rolled quickly. She ruthlessly pinched her tender flesh in her arms, and tears instantly poured out.
She pretended to be weak and pitiful as she fell to the ground. She raised her head to look at Shang Yan, feeling wronged. “They taught me to say it!”

“It wasn’t my intention at all. I was deceived! I did something wrong because I was confused.”
“I feel dizzy now. Oh ... My mind is not clear. You can’t force me to make any decision.”
“I won’t agree to the divorce.”
Qu Xiao said shamelessly in a high voice. She wiped her tears and looked at Shang Yan from time to time, trying to gain sympathy.
Shang Yan pressed his forehead gently with his index finger. He felt a headache because of her statement.
He pondered for a while and finally said, “Call the doctor over to take a look. We’ll put the divorce aside for now and talk about it when she gets better.”
Shang Xinchen opened his mouth wide, wanting to refute.
Shang Yan’s face darkened as he gestured for him to push the wheelchair out. “Let’s go back to the company first.”
“We have to minimize the impact of this matter as soon as possible!”
