The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

PA Wen did not ask where they were heading to and was startled when they reached the hotel. He looked down at his watch.

“Haven’t you had your lunch yet?”

It was three o’clock in the evening. Having lunch at this hour?

Xiao Yaojing stopped the car and put her hand on the passenger seat headrest. She stared at the man next to her. “Can’t we eat something else after lunch? You know, have a change of taste.”

PA Wen felt his heart skip a beat. He was glued to the seat and his heart was beating fast. He somehow felt that something was off.

He looked at Xiao Yaojing who approached him slowly and gulped unconsciously.

Xiao Yaojing was getting nearer. PA Wen felt like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Buzz…

Suddenly, PA Wen’s phone was vibrating. He grabbed it like it was his life savior and held it out between both of them. He stuttered, “I… I need to answer my call first.”

Xiao Yaojing muttered a noise and returned to her original position.

PA Wen quickly picked up the call and loosened his tie. He had nearly lost control and jumped on the woman just now.

“Hello. Is everyone there? Noted.” PA Wen lowered his head to look at his watch and responded, “I will be there in thirty minutes.”

Xiao Yaojing leaned back in her seat and stared at PA Wen who just ended the phone conversation. She smiled at him seductively.

PA Wen gave an awkward cough. He then averted his gaze and said quietly, “I need to return to the office. There is a press conference to address the rumour about the CEO being critically ill.”

Xiao Yaojing suddenly moved close to him.

He was surprised and leaned away until his back hit the window behind him.

“What… What are you doing?” PA Wen stuttered and adjusted his glasses to hide his embarrassment.

“What a coward. Tsk, tsk.” Xiao Yaojing adjusted her seat and started the car engine. “Did you really think that I would eat you up?”

PA Wen thought hopelessly, ‘I am afraid that I am the one who will eat you up.’

Xiao Yaojing dropped him off at the ground floor of Gu Enterprise. PA Wen smoothed his clothes and got out of the vehicle.

She also got down from the car and stopped PA Wen who wanted to enter the building. She raised her hands to adjust his tie which he had loosened earlier.

They were so close they could feel their breaths mingling. Xiao Yaojing slightly tiptoed and PA Wen almost touched her forehead when he lowered his head.

Her delicate and fair hands smoothed his tie. She finished adjusting it and his heart was pounding by the time she stepped back.

It was a little disappointing!

PA Wen tried hard to suppress his feelings which he thought were a little abnormal at the moment. He promised her, “I am going in now. I will call you later.”

Xiao Yaojing nodded and stared at PA Wen as he entered the building.

Almost all the media in B City were invited to the press conference. When PA Wen arrived, the secretary was already waiting for his arrival. The secretary immediately approached him and said, “Everything is ready. We are just waiting for you.”

PA Wen nodded and took a big step towards the stage. Everyone quieted down once they saw him on the stage.

PA Wen sat down and started the conference. “Our time is precious and without further ado, I am here to clarify that Gu Enterprise’s CEO, Mr Gu Juexi, is not critically ill as rumoured. He is currently resting for his recovery.”

Xiao Yaojing was standing nearby looking at the man who spoke with confidence. He was undeniably a talented genius. Why was he acting like such a coward in front of her?
