The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

And with that smile she noticed an upright man appearing in the mirror.

She unexpectedly met Dongfang Yu’s deep gaze, forgetting to retract her smile.

The man’s dark eyes also slightly froze for a moment.

In that instant, it was as if a beautiful bird flashed past, her features and smile seemed to stir something in the depth of his heart.

Dongfang Yu did not realize that his gaze upon her gained an added intensity.

“Mr. President…” Upon spotting him, the makeup artists quickly greeted him.

Dongfang Yu nodded lightly, his gaze was still locked on the Hai Xiaotang in the mirror.

All the others tactfully left the room, leaving only the two of them.

Hai Xiaotang had already diverted her gaze. She picked up her jeweled clutch and rose, turning to face him, “Let’s go, I’m ready.”

Dongfang Yu eyed her, his voice lacking in its usual coldness, “You know what should be done tonight, I presume I don’t need to say it.”

Hai Xiaotang deliberately countered, “If I cooperate well, will you then divorce me?”

The man’s gaze suddenly turned icy, “If it weren’t for you, would there be such a mess today?!”

“It’s just a minor issue, besides it’s better to give everyone a heads-up. We are bound to divorce sooner or later anyway.” Hai Xiaotang spoke nonchalantly. Dongfang Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, his eyes reflected a complex emotion. He started to realize he could no longer understand what she was intending to do.

Was she really intent on a divorce?

Dongfang Yu was confused why her attitude had suddenly changed. Perhaps she was just playing hard to get, her acting skills were outstanding…

Regardless, he was determined to find out the truth sooner or later!

He was satisfied with her current attitude, whether she was acting or not, as long as she stopped troubling him.

In the meantime, he completely ignored the slight discomfort deep within his heart.

“Let’s go.” Dongfang Yu extended his arm.

Hai Xiaotang, seemingly misunderstanding his invitation, walked forward on her own.

No way was she going to hold onto his arm!

Who knew that her high heels were too tall and the heels too thin, she took a few steps and suddenly her foot twisted…

“Ah…” Hai Xiaotang exclaimed softly, expecting she would fall to the ground. When it was nearly too late, a strong arm suddenly steadied her waist!

Her body was pulled into a broad, sturdy embrace that smelled wonderfully fresh.

Hai Xiaotang was too familiar with his scent, it was already embedded deep into her soul.

Every time she smelled his scent, her heart would ache with longing.

The familiar, unattainable pain was back…

Hai Xiaotang suddenly felt like she had been pricked by a needle, pushing him away in alarm!

Dongfang Yu stumbled backwards, slightly astonished.

His fingers, still lingering with the soft touch from her body.

Just as he was enjoying the sudden embrace and the soft touch of her body, she pushed him away!

Besides confusion about her actions, Dongfang Yu also felt a touch of regret…

“Let’s go, I’m fine now.” Hai Xiaotang, as if nothing had happened, stood upright and spoke casually.

Dongfang Yu’s eyes darkened, he didn’t ask any questions.

He stepped up, extending his arm once again, “If you can’t walk properly, hold onto me!”

This time Hai Xiaotang did not refuse, she obediently held onto his arm, allowing him to guide her out.
