Chapter 52: A Sleepless Night

Compared to Su Yan, Wei Zhou tossed and turned all night without sleeping a wink. Wei Zhou sat by the bed, his eyes bloodshot as he looked out the window, quietly waiting for the morning sun to rise. It was not that Wei Zhou did not want to sleep, but once he closed his eyes, the image of Su Yan kissing him at the entrance of the bar would inevitably flash in his mind.
The more Wei Zhou thought about Su Yan’s incomparably beautiful face and her unique otherworldly temperament, the more stunning it appeared to him. This made Wei Zhou feel a wave of frustration in his heart.
Wei Zhou did not understand what was wrong with him. Why did he not realize that Su Yan was so beautiful and alluring even after being married to her for three years? In his impression, his ex-wife’s looks were passable, and she was a so-called socialite. If one were to be blunt about it, Su Yan was a somewhat beautiful gold digger. However, ever since the divorce, Su Yan had not only caused a lot of scandals, but her entire person seemed to have changed. It was as if she had gone through a second adolescence.
Of course, what surprised Wei Zhou the most was that during the divorce, Su Yan had left him without a cent. From what he knew, Su Yan was a gold-digger. She had asked to marry him because he was young, handsome, and had a rich family background. However, when the two of them went their separate ways, Su Yan did not ask for anything. This did not fit the image of a gold-digger.
Before the divorce, Zhong Cuiping would call every now and then to talk Wei Zhou into divorcing Su Yan. Zhong Cuiping did not like anything about Su Yan and always thought that Su Yan was too stupid. Now, it seemed that Su Yan was indeed quite stupid. After three years together with Wei Zhou, Su Yan left with nothing. She had not only wasted three years of her precious youth, but she had also been mistreated by Mother Wei in the Wei household for the last three years.
Wei Zhou looked at the gradually brightening horizon as he walked to the window. To be honest, he had originally planned to find a suitable time to divorce Su Yan and compensate her with a large sum of money. Wei Zhou did not expect that Su Yan would make the first move and drag him to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce. Although it was unexpected, Wei Zhou was willing to cooperate because he felt that Su Yan would come to regret the divorce. Wei Zhou was almost certain that she would come back to ask him for a remarriage, or ask for a huge sum of money and reveal her true colours as a gold-digger.
However, the months after the divorce passed in a flash. Su Yan didn’t regret it, nor did she ask Wei Zhou to remarry her. She didn’t even ask him for a single cent. Not only did Su Yan’s life become better, but she also became increasingly beautiful. Her life now was the complete opposite of being ordered around as a servant in the Wei family.
What puzzled Wei Zhou the most was how Su Yan suddenly became the boss of Dragon Emperor Entertainment. She had proven all those who scolded her and looked down on her wrong. This included Wei Zhou, the CEO of Excellent Era Corporation era, and her ex-husband.
No matter where Su Yan went, she was accompanied by all kinds of young hunks. Her happiness had skyrocketed. It was a life that many women had yearned for their entire lives.
“CEO Wei, we’re married. From now on, we’ll be comrades in arms for the second half of our lives. Please take care of us!” These sentences rang out in Wei Zhou’s mind. He clearly remembered that this was the only thing Su Yan had said to him after putting on the ring at their wedding.
“Damn it, why am I thinking about this?!” Wei Zhou slapped his head and scolded himself. They were already divorced and had become each other’s ex. Did he have nothing better to do than think about this?
One cigarette, three cigarettes, a whole box of cigarettes… Wei Zhou kept smoking. He did not know what he was worrying about, nor did he know why he was feeling irritated. In the end, the smoke was too strong, causing the fire alarm in the room to sound. Wei Zhou was immediately drenched by the sprinklers from the ceiling.
..
The next day at noon.
Su Yan lay sprawled on the bed. She slept without any care in the world. Xiao Xiao did not disturb her, and she slept soundly. Su Yan drank quite a lot last night and only went to bed at four in the morning. She felt that her biological clock had been turned upside down, and her body was tired and listless.
“It’s me. What’s the matter?” Su Yan asked, rather unfriendly-sounding. Wang Xiaoxue called just as she opened her eyes.
Although she was never one to put on airs, Su Yan was not in a good mood today. Naturally, her attitude would not be much better.
“President Su, Blue-ray Media Company sent a message. They insist on meeting you.” Wang Xiaoxue reported.
Su Yan snorted coldly. “Well, they’ve already said they want to. They can think about wanting to meet me for a while!”
After saying that, Su Yan hung up and threw the phone aside. She buried herself under the covers and tried to fall back asleep..
