The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Hai Xiaotang met his gaze fearlessly, without displaying any form of disguise.

Yet Dongfang knew her acting skills were excellent.

It was her act that had won everyones sympathy and forced him to marry her in the past.

As he approached her, the tall man bowed his head and coldly asked her, Are you sure you want to divorce?

Hai Xiaotang didnt blink, Yes, I am absolutely sure!

Heh The man scoffed, Hai Xiaotang, do you find it enjoyable to play with me like this?

Im not playing with you, Im serious! Hai Xiaotang firmly declared, If you dont believe me, I can sign the divorce agreement right away, I want nothing, just a divorce.

Suddenly, he gripped her chin

In the bottom of Dongfang Yus cold, dark eyes, there was nothing but scorn and iciness, You want to mention divorce at this point? Do you think I cant walk away?!

Hai Xiaotang suddenly realized.

Yes, it was not the right time for them to divorce.

Dongfang Yus company had just gone public in the United States, he couldnt afford any mishaps at this moment, or the consequences would be unthinkable.

If she were a common girl, divorcing him wouldnt be much of a problem.

Regrettably, her identity was complicated as the entire Hai Family stood behind her.

If she divorced him, it would signify a total split with the Hai Family. This would lead the outside world to speculate that Dongfang Yu had offended the Hai Family and would soon meet his downfall.

As a result, the stocks of his newly-listed company would plummet, leading to heavy losses.

So, to avoid taking risks, he definitely wouldnt divorce her at this point.

This was also why in the last life, despite his hatred for her, he had tolerated her again and again.

But Hai Xiaotang no longer wanted to be his wife, feeling that she had wasted her second chance at life if she was unable to escape this marriage.

She pushed his hand away, her demeanor firm, Lets divorce first, we can announce it to the public when you deem it appropriate.

Dongfang Yus gaze bore into her, When do you think itd be suitable to announce?

In a year or two, once youve secured your footing in America, she replied.

Her suggestion was quite good.

The problem was, Dongfang Yu never took risks. Once they divorced, he would lose control of the situation. What if word leaked out? How would he salvage it?

He scoffed, Even the tightest-kept secret can be leaked. Are you sure yours wont be?

But

Hai Xiaotang, I advise you to stop wasting your efforts. You cant threaten me with this. No matter what you do, in my eyes, youre nothing but a clown! Dongfang Yus tone was nothing but scornful.

Hai Xiaotang rolled her eyes, You think Im trying to threaten you with this? Im not, I just want to divorce you. I dont like you anymore!

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu didnt blink, Very well, remember what you said today.

Stepping back, he looked down at her condescendingly, When I want to divorce, Ill let you know!

With that, he turned and strode away.

Dongfang Yu, Im serious, I dont care what you think, I want a divorce from you, and I mean now! Hai Xiaotang rushed after him to emphasize, but he completely ignored her.

He was convinced that Hai Xiaotang was doing this on purpose.

Knowing that he couldnt divorce now but insisting on it anyway, and even demanding it should be nowwhat else could this be if not a deliberate act?

Did she think this could threaten him into changing his attitude towards her?
