Xu Pei's face was etched with pain and regret. To the unknowing observer, he might appear deeply devoted and rare.
Xia Chu saw it in his eyes, but all she felt like doing was laughing.
She wanted to retort, "Stop your damn acting, who do you think you're fooling!"
She ultimately held back, scoffing coldly, "Xu Pei, didn't Yang Guangchuan tell you my husband is the CEO of Huo Corporation, and I am now the CEO's wife? Impossible, right? He nearly hates you to death, and if he's not pouring fuel on the fire now, when will he?"
The pain and regret on Xu Pei's face suddenly cracked.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth, "He did tell me, face to face. But what of it? After all..."
Xia Chu sneered, interrupting him, "But what of it? My husband's wealth is in the hundreds of billions, he has money and looks, and most importantly, he's devoted to me, holds me in the palm of his hand. And you say 'what of it' as if reminiscing about our supposed five-year history will change my mind?"
