Whenever he went, she wanted to follow. Today, she didn't want to go home with him, so there must be a problem.
"Grandpa, I just want to spend more time with you," Hai Xiaotang said casually.
Hai Zhiyuan insisted that she wouldn't stay, "You spent the whole day with your grandpa today, and it has made him very happy. Now go home with Ayu, and come to visit me another day."
"…Alright, grandpa, please take care of yourself, I'll come another day." Hai Xiaotang had to compromise.
She couldn't insist too much, as that would worry her grandpa even more.
After all, she couldn't never go back. As long as they were not divorced, she'd have to bear living under the same roof with him.
Hai Zhiyuan nodded, and turned to Dongfang Yu, "Ayu, Xiaotang is young. If there are things she doesn't understand, please be more forgiving."
Dongfang Yu respected the old man greatly. He had trained in the military for several years.
During that time, the old man had helped him a lot and given him lots of advice.
For the sake of the old man, he was more patient with Hai Xiaotang
Now, when the old man personally requested him, he couldn't possibly refuse. Yet, he was sure that Hai Xiaotang had complained about him to the old man.
However, he didn't show anything on his face.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what to do."
"Good, I believe in you." Hai Zhiyuan smiled kindly, "You are both good kids. I believe you know how to get along with each other. I won't say much, just remember that Grandpa trusts you. Go home early, and Xiaotang, be understanding towards Ayu, and do your duty as a wife."
Hai Xiaotang firmed her face and nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."
As if she did! All she wanted was to divorce Dongfang Yu!
...
After saying goodbye to their grandfather, Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu left the old house.
She got into Dongfang Yu's car. As soon as the car drove out of the main gate, she heard his icy mockery.
"Hai Xiaotang, I really want to know when you will stop playing games!"
"..."
Hai Xiaotang glanced at his stern face and immediately understood his meaning.
"What do you think I said to Grandpa?"
The man gave her a cold glance, a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Whether you said something or not, you know very well!"
If she hadn't said anything, would Grandpa have specifically invited him for dinner and reminded him to be nice to Hai Xiaotang?
What he most disliked about her was her clingy nature, always scheming to control him.
No, what he disliked the most was that he had to endure her, although he clearly disliked her.
In a word, her existence was a serious challenge to his dignity!
Hai Xiaotang could feel his icy disgust, but she was used to it, and didn't care.
"Believe what you want. In any case, I will divorce you sooner or later!" After asserting this firmly, Hai Xiaotang turned her gaze to the window, not intending to pay him any attention.
Dongfang Yu chuckled coldly. That was what he should have said.
He would divorce her sooner or later!
The two did not say a single word, and the atmosphere was tense all the way home.
After getting off the car, Hai Xiaotang walked straight into the villa, went upstairs, and entered the bedroom without looking back
During the day, she had asked Mrs. Zhang to clean up a room for her, so she wouldn't have to share a room with Dongfang Yu.
Since he also did not want to share a room with her, she was actually doing him a favor.
Dongfang Yu was accustomed to take a bath first, then work in the study.
As he entered the master bedroom, he noticed that something was amiss.
