Staring at Qiu Ruoxi at this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s breathing slowly became somewhat erratic: "Wife, are you... are you okay?"
Qiu Ruoxi, just like before, shook her head very calmly: "I’m fine, you’ve been busy for a few days, get some rest early!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t say anything more and headed upstairs.
At the moment of turning around, Ye Xunhuan only felt that Qiu Ruoxi was so indifferent, indifferent as if they had returned to the past, returned to that state where they were like fire and water, to that life where they lived separately, not caring about each other.
The more Qiu Ruoxi was like this, the more suppressed and uneasy Ye Xunhuan felt.
Not only Ye Xunhuan; even if it were someone else, it would probably be the same.
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, then went upstairs.
When Ye Xunhuan came upstairs and entered the bedroom, Qiu Ruoxi was not in the bedroom, which made Ye Xunhuan realize that she probably went to the study.
Then, Ye Xunhuan turned and went to the study, and sure enough, Qiu Ruoxi was sitting in the study, with the computer already turned on. However, her expression was slightly dazed, and she seemed entirely out of it.
Even as Ye Xunhuan walked in from outside, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t notice, just sitting there quietly, motionless, like a wax figure.
Seeing this, the heaviness in Ye Xunhuan’s heart intensified a bit, but he still spoke: "Wife, I know it must be hard for you. If you want to vent, just let it all out!"
"Whether it’s hitting or scolding me, I..."
Before Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze fell on him: "What good does hitting or scolding you do? Can it solve the problem?"
Ye Xunhuan was left speechless, completely unsure of what to say.
After all, Qiu Ruoxi was speaking the truth. Even if she hit or scolded him, could it ease the pain in her heart?
Probably not, right?
"I’m not blaming you. I’m just blaming myself!" Qiu Ruoxi said again upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s silence: "Blaming myself for making that agreement with you back then, blaming myself for looking down on you, despising you..."
With this, a thick sense of self-mockery appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s face.
Back then, she really did look down on Ye Xunhuan, holding him in contempt for various reasons.
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan felt as if his heart was flooded with a mixture of emotions, like an overturned bottle of spices.
"I’m sorry, wife!"
"No need to say sorry, it’s just a problem between the two of us!" Qiu Ruoxi said rather rationally: "Alright, you should leave first. I want to be alone for a while!"
Ye Xunhuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, all the words turned into a sigh as he turned and walked out.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan walked out, Qiu Ruoxi buried her head on the table, silently sobbing.
She cried with deep sorrow, confusion, and bewilderment, like a lost child unable to find her way home, fearful!
After leaving the study, Ye Xunhuan let out a long sigh.
They both spent a sleepless night, neither of them sleeping, and Qiu Ruoxi never returned to the bedroom, just sitting quietly in the study all night, while Ye Xunhuan smoked with his head down.
The next day, Qiu Ruoxi left the villa as if nothing had happened, heading to Royal Map Group.
Ye Xunhuan wore a bitter expression, knowing that Qiu Ruoxi really didn’t want to deal with him now.
But who could he blame?
Blame Qiu Ruoxi.
She bore some responsibility, but a greater responsibility lay with him, Ye Xunhuan.
......
Just as Qiu Ruoxi arrived at Royal Map Group and entered her office, a deep voice reached her ears first.
"Miss Qiu, how did it go, did you confirm with Ye Xunhuan?"
Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar voice, Qiu Ruoxi’s body slightly stiffened, and she turned her gaze to where the voice came from.
Seeing Jun Wuhui sitting on the sofa, Qiu Ruoxi breathed out heavily: "Mr. Jun seems very concerned about the private affairs between my husband and me!"
"I just want to prove that I didn’t lie to you!"
"Mr. Jun, you’re not a fool, and neither am I. There’s no need to fool me anymore!" Qiu Ruoxi spoke lightly, "From the moment you told me last time, I already knew, you want to cause discord between my husband and me, to disturb Xunhuan’s mind so you can make a move!"
"Although I’m not a Martial Artist, I know that in business negotiations, a disturbed mind means losing all leverage and initiative, and throughout history, countless wars and events tell us that unity is essential, or defeat follows!"
Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t foolish, and she didn’t let herself lose her mind over the news of Wu Mei’s pregnancy. She was very calm, frighteningly calm.
"I’ve never thought of you as a fool," Jun Wuhui replied earnestly: "You’re very smart, with a unique perspective, and I’ve known that for a long time."
"If you intend to fool someone like you’re a fool, you’d better make yourself a fool first!"
"Oh?"
"Miss Qiu, I know you’re doubtful of my intentions, but now I can tell you that I can help alleviate your worries, letting you have peace of mind once and for all!" Jun Wuhui said, word by word, staring at Qiu Ruoxi: "I can let you sleep peacefully, with no need to feel troubled about this matter."
"Really?"
"Of course!" Jun Wuhui said sincerely, "Provided that Miss Qiu is willing!"
"Let’s hear it!"
Qiu Ruoxi slowly sat to the side, staring at Jun Wuhui.
"As long as you tell me Wu Mei’s hiding place, I can solve it, so the child won’t be there..."
Before Jun Wuhui could finish his words, Qiu Ruoxi interrupted with a cold huff: "Telling you, letting you capture Wu Mei, to use her to threaten Xunhuan, you’re playing a clever plot indeed!"
"Miss Qiu, all I want is to get the Taichi Seal from Ye Xunhuan, and meanwhile, help you deal with Wu Mei, the child won’t be, isn’t it a win-win situation for us to cooperate?"
"Wu Mei’s life or death, I don’t care," Qiu Ruoxi said lightly, "But do you think I wouldn’t care about my husband’s first child at all?"
"Or do you think my heart, as Qiu Ruoxi, could be so cruel as to not even allow an unborn child to exist?"
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s aura changed suddenly, becoming incomparably fierce.
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi fully displayed her assertive side in the business world, looking down on Jun Wuhui like a queen!
