Chapter 311 -311: When will you divorce me?

Sheng Tingyuan finished speaking, exited the bathroom, and closed the door behind her.

Ye Chuyi stood in the bathroom, a little at a loss, wondering how he was going to settle accounts with her?

She considered herself fairly adept at discerning people’s emotions, but she couldn’t penetrate his heart; he seemed very angry, yet somehow not that angry.

Ye Chuyi felt anxious, as if a sword were hanging over her head once again.

Carrying this anxiety, she quickly took her shower, not wanting to make Sheng Tingyuan wait too long and get even angrier.

But after showering, she realized she hadn’t brought any clothes to change into.

She had no choice but to wrap herself in a towel and cracked open the door a little, “Sheng Tingyuan, could you step out for a moment, until I’ve changed my clothes, then you can come back in.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sheng Tingyuan came over and handed her a set of pajamas, with underwear on top.

Ye Chuyi’s face flushed crimson, and she quickly snatched the underwear and pajamas, shutting the bathroom door.

After a while, when she had changed and the redness on her face had subsided, she reopened the door and stepped out.

Sheng Tingyuan was somehow standing on the balcony, watching the downpour outside and the occasional flashes of lightning.

Ye Chuyi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still went over to him.

The sword hanging above her head was bound to fall sooner or later; better sooner than later.

She stood by his side and apologized softly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to stand you up tonight, I really was delayed because something came up.”

Sheng Tingyuan turned to look at her, “Am I that last on your list of priorities? Ye Chuyi, did you forget about me again tonight?”

He guessed right; she had indeed forgotten about him again.

Ye Chuyi lowered her eyelashes, now fully aware she had made an additional mistake on top of another and had no excuse left to defend herself.

But compared to standing him up tonight, the earlier betrayal of deceiving him into marriage was a more serious matter.

“President Sheng, deceiving you into marriage was my fault, but there’s a clear perpetrator for this debt, if you need revenge, take it out on me alone, do not involve the innocent. I won’t complain whatever you do to me, I deserve whatever comes my way, but please, do not harm Dome or Jungle.”

Sheng Tingyuan spoke indifferently, “It seems to me that you don’t care much about Dome and Jungle either, otherwise, you wouldn’t have forgotten to come home tonight. Even if those two went bankrupt, it wouldn’t affect you much.”

Ye Chuyi became somewhat agitated, “How can it not affect me a lot? It’s a big deal to me! If you’re angry, you can hit me or scold me, I’ll take it.”

“Hit you or scold you, either is fine?”

“Yes!”

“Alright, then come here. You’re standing too far away, I can’t reach you.”

Ye Chuyi stepped forward.

“Closer.”

Ye Chuyi moved another step closer, almost right up against him.

She touched her face and said with a hint of hesitation, “If you’re going to hit me, could you please not be too harsh? I need to see people tomorrow, and if the swelling doesn’t go down by the second day, it might affect my image…”

She was mainly thinking about going to see Ye Jinyu tomorrow, and it wouldn’t be good if Ye Jinyu saw her with a swollen face.

Sheng Tingyuan lifted his hand, his fingertips gently tracing her cheek. She had just showered, carrying the fragrance of shower gel, and her skin was soft to the touch, glowing with a moist luster.

She was beautiful, but a bitter taste welled up in his heart.

Why did she think he would hit her? Did she think he had the heart to do it? Did she think he was such a cruel and brutal man? She had never opened her heart to him, nor had she ever trusted him.

He had spent the entire day thinking about her, angry that she had deceived him, angry that she had readily and unhesitatingly told him to marry Ye Shuangyin, angry that she had stood him up.

Yet, he had never been more vividly aware of how much he liked her.

And her, she hadn’t taken him seriously at all.

Sheng Tingyuan, reining in his turbulent emotions, withdrew his finger, his tone distant, “It’s late, go to sleep.”

Ye Chuyi was surprised, “That’s it? You’re not going to punish me?”

“I’ll punish you later.”

“Then… when are you going to divorce me?”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression suddenly turned cold, “When did I say I wanted a divorce?”

“But I’m not Ye Zhengrong’s daughter.”

“It doesn’t matter whose daughter you are, divorce is not an option, stop thinking about it!”
