Chapter 102 - 102 Wife’s Cold Violence _1
He was seated at the desk, leering at her, “So this is the reason you refuse.”
“…” Hai Xiaotang didn’t respond, just continued to research diligently.
Dongfang Yu crossed his arms over his chest, “This was given by me, not something you sought for yourself. Therefore, it has nothing to do with anything.”
When she blurted out that vow last night, he realized she would never accept a dime from him again.
That’s why he offered her his black card this morning.
His black card had no spending limit and allowed cash withdrawals—it was up to her how much she wanted to use.
By directly giving her his black card, she could live the rest of her life without asking him for money.
“Whether it has anything to do with it or not, I won’t risk using it.” Hai Xiaotang didn’t look up.
Dongfang Yu chuckled, “Are you implying that I’m committing suicide by offering you my card?”
“…”What did he mean by that?
Hai Xiaotang lifted her head, a look of confusion on her face.
The man sidled closer to her, his lips curling into a smirk as he whispered huskily, “Doesn’t your family include me too?”
With a scornful laugh, Hai Xiaotang retorted, “We are a divorcing couple – we’re no longer a family!”
“Until the divorce is final, we still are. Besides, I don’t believe it’s certain that we’ll get a divorce.” Dongfang Yu asserted confidently.
If he didn’t agree to the divorce, then it surely wouldn’t happen.
Hai Xiaotang looked at him coolly, “Within a year, we will definitely divorce!”
Dongfang Yu understood what she meant.
Hai Xiaotang’s grandfather said that after a year, if she still wanted a divorce, he would agree to it.
Dongfang Yu found this amusing.
Even though her grandfather agreed, it didn’t mean he did.
Hai Xiaotang was still too naive, but he didn’t intend to tell her that. He thought her naivete was rather endearing.
Why not let her believe she could be free in a year? Otherwise, who knew what else she was capable of.
Dongfang Yu contemplated something, suggesting, “How about this, let’s live in harmony for the next year. If after a year…”
“Thump!” Hai Xiaotang abruptly closed her laptop, cutting him off.
Standing up, she bluntly said, “I don’t want to get along with you even for a day.”
After saying that, she grabbed her laptop and left without looking back. She didn’t want to share space with him.
Dongfang Yu’s eyes darkened.
Hai Xiaotang seemed totally immune to his charm. He couldn’t understand why she seemed to loathe him so much now.
What had he ever done to her?
But no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out the cause of her sudden dislike.
Hai Xiaotang returned to her bedroom and continued surfing the internet.
She already had her dinner earlier.
Starting from today, she decided not to have meals with Dongfang Yu anymore.
She did not plan to extend any more courtesies to him either.
She intended to treat him the same way he had once treated her.
She believed it wouldn’t be long before he couldn’t take it anymore and would agree to divorce her.
Yes, in a marital relationship, nothing was more fearful than the cold shoulder.
A man with as strong an ego as Dongfang Yu would never be able to tolerate the silent treatment from his wife.
He needed a woman like Xinxin- gentle, capable and understanding.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen for Xinxin in their previous life.
Hai Xiaotang planned to give him the cold shoulder until he could no longer bear it!
If she didn’t, the complexities of their relationship might continue to spiral and become more chaotic.
Dongfang Yu dined alone downstairs.
The large dining table was filled with dishes, but he was the only one eating…
He never found it strange to dine alone before, but why was it suddenly so tasteless?
After dinner, he retreated to his bedroom. Staring at the vast room, he felt that sleeping alone in such a big space was eerie.
