With all her strength, she pushed Guan Yihan away forcefully.
As soon as he was away from her, Guan Xi took advantage of his stunned state and quickly got out of the car.
"Xixi..."
As Guan Yihan looked at Guan Xi, his eyes clearly reflected the deep affection he felt for her.
"Guan Yihan."
She stood just beside the car, the moonlight casting a faint silver glow around her, making her appear cold, arrogant, and beautiful.
She said, "If you hadn't said those words, if you had just let it be, I would've continued on thinking that you're a f*cking decent man."
He just admitted to valuing money and power over her and he had the gall to ask her to wait for him? It was disgusting. He was disgusting.
Guan Xi didn't wait for his response and immediately ran towards the Xiao residence.
Guan Yihan sat in the driver's seat, bitterly watching Guan Xi's slender figure gradually disappear from his sight.
With his lips pursed into a straight line, he took a stick of cigarette from his pocket and lit it up.
Guan Xi jogged all the way back to the Xiao Mansion, not stopping until she was at the main entrance.
She rubbed her slightly swollen red eyes and whispered to herself.
'Guan Xi, don't think about it. Put it out of your mind.'
'Men are all pigs. Guan Yihan's not worth it.'
Accompanied with several deep breaths, she repeated those mantra over and over again. It didn't really have the necessary effect, though.
After all, they had lived together for so many years.
The time they had spent together were wonderful. She remembered chasing Guan Yihan around when they were kids, jokingly promising that she'll marry him one day.
It was hard to forget.
However, no matter how hard it was, she had to try. There was no point in holding on to those memories.
Guan Xi headed to her room, wanting to wash her face and freshen up. She knew that she must look like a wreck right now and she wanted to appear somewhat presentable before anyone could see her.
When she pushed the door to her room open, she was surprised by the sight that greeted her.
'What's going on?'
'WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED?'
Her room looked like it had been ransacked. Her bedding, books, school supplies, and the clothes in her closet were all gone. Even the three-foot Totoro doll in the corner was nowhere to be seen!
"Uncle Xiang."
Guan Xi did not care that her eyes were still red. She immediately went downstairs and looked for Housekeeper Xiang. "What happened to my room? Where are my things?"
With a smile, Housekeeper Xiang replied, "Little Madam, Master Jiu asked for your things to be moved into his room."
"What?" Guan Xi's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "In Master Jiu's room?"
Housekeeper Xiang's smile widened, mistaking Guan Xi's shocked expression for happiness.
After all, everyone knew that Master Jiu had thrown the young mistress out of the room on the first night of their marriage. Clearly, whatever happened between the two of them last night improved their relationship.
The couple would now be sharing the same quarter and sleeping on the same bed.
Housekeeper Xiang added, "Yes, Little Madam. Master Jiu might be strict, but he still cares and feels for you."
'Well I didn't want him to care or feel for me!'
"Uhm, yeah, Master Jiu has been really good to me," she stammered out.
Guan Xi was cursing inside but she still forced a smile. "It's just... I don't think I am suitable to sleep in the same room as Master Jiu."
