Chapter 8 Do You Regret Divorcing Me?

Di Jinye's words shocked both Cheng Ruowei and Director Dong on the spot.

Who was his person?

Cheng Ruowei was stunned with a look of astonishment, and saw Director Dong on the opposite side scrutinizing her.

"Mr. Di, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Director Dong's plump hand was twisted by Di family's bodyguard to a painful angle, distorting his smiling face.

Suddenly, Di Jinye lazily narrowed his eyes and walked over to Cheng Ruowei's side.

"You call her Miss Cheng, don't you know what the relationship between Di family and Cheng family is? My ex-wife is also someone you dare to covet?"

Five years had passed, and many people had forgotten about this.

After all, the marriage was low-key, and so was the divorce.

Director Dong suddenly realized and continued to apologie with a smile, "Mr. Di, she is also an ex-wife, not a wife."

As soon as the words were out, a cold anger burst from Di Jinye's eyes.

"The point isn't that she's an ex-wife, it's that she's mine."

Di Jinye stretched out his arm and held Cheng Ruowei's slender waist, his actions aggressive, not a gentle protection but more like a declaration of ownership.

At those words, Cheng Ruowei subconsciously looked up at him, close at hand.

Her heartbeat was slightly chaotic, not of throbbing, but fear.

Di Jinye's overbearing manner was an imprisonment she couldn't escape from.

"Mr. Di, I was blind, I didn't recognize that Miss Cheng was your woman, please, have mercy..."

Director Dong's plea sounded a bit jarring.

Suddenly, with a gesture from Di Jinye, the Di family bodyguards directly dragged Director Dong away.

Cheng Ruowei pursed her lips tightly; was this a warning to others?

With no third person present in the restaurant, the atmosphere was subtly quiet.

Di Jinye glared at the silent Cheng Ruowei, his expression indignant, and raised his eyebrows to ask, "I saved you, how does the ex-wife plan to repay and thank me?"

At that moment, Cheng Ruowei silently withdrew her hand that was clutching a self-defense spray inside her bag.

Hearing Di Jinye's question, she laughed.

A mocking laugh.

"To me, the lecherous Director Dong and the noble Mr. Di are just as dangerous."

After all, she couldn't even use spray on the latter, or the Di family's bodyguards would pin her down on the spot.

Cheng Ruowei tried to maintain her smile, but when she looked up and met Di Jinye's sinister gaze, she was so tense her spine stiffened.

In the next instant, Di Jinye reached out and pinched her cheek, his body leaning in close.

"An ex-wife should be grateful," he said.

"Grateful for what?"

Cheng Ruowei looked him directly in the eye and asked tightly, "Mr. Di deigns to personally catch me three times; you weren't waiting just to save me now, were you? Even if I were to be grateful, I'd need to be clear first about what kind of favor Mr. Di considers he has done for me."

For the past five years, she had wanted no more interaction with the Di family.

But Di Jinye didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.

"The ex-wife seems to have changed," he remarked.

Di Jinye looked at her, ambiguously smiled, but didn't ease the grip on her fingers.

Her skin was pale and delicate, already marked with red from his pinch.

Yet there was not a hint of fear in Cheng Ruowei's eyes.

"To Mr. Di, I am just an insignificant stranger; you should forget about me and not waste your time on me."

Even after being married for a year, the actual time they'd spent together didn't even add up to a week.

What's more, they had been divorced for five years.

Cheng Ruowei could think of no better way to describe her relationship with Di Jinye than with the word 'stranger'.

"I'm here to see you because I know you are Yun Li," he said.

Di Jinye was not angered by Cheng Ruowei's attitude; he released his fingers from her cheek, yet continued to stroke along her slender neck.

"And you also know that Di family wants Yun Li's cooperation for medical research, but you refused. Why? Are you afraid of me, or do you hate me? You dared to betray me time and time again; you're really brave."

Truly worthy of being the Di Family Head; negotiating with him, Cheng Ruowei had no chance.

"No reason, I just don't have the capacity to undertake Di family's medical research work, and I am no longer qualified to have any involvement with Di family; I'm unworthy."

Cheng Ruowei was resolute.

"You are very qualified. You dared to betray me back then, and now you still dare to anger me. Such an ex-wife is truly unforgettable to me," Di Jinye said, clearly dissatisfied with Cheng Ruowei's intention to draw a line.

His large hand suddenly clasped her throat, his fingers not applying pressure, just an intimidating gesture.

Cheng Ruowei instinctively tried to struggle, but her arms couldn't push him away, and she was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window glass by Di Jinye's tall figure.

She wasn't wearing high heels, making her seem even more petite in front of the one-point-nine meter tall Di Jinye.

The disparity in their builds was representative of the overwhelming power that imprisoned her.

"Do you hate me so much, Di, that you want to throw me down from the seventh floor?"

Cheng Ruowei glared at him angrily, breathing erratically.

Suddenly, Di Jinye, looking down upon her from above, watched her with narrowed eyes, a vague smile blurring his deep voice.

"Cheng Ruowei, do you regret divorcing me?"

This was his accusation.

Di Jinye admitted that he was vindictive, and his desire for control was something not to be challenged.

For whatever reason, Cheng Ruowei's affair during the marriage, her initiating the divorce, and then running away for five years were facts.

At these words, Cheng Ruowei paused imperceptibly; she didn't understand why Di Jinye would ask such a question. Did he want her to feel guilty and admit her wrong?

Back then she had been set up, without even the chance to explain.

She never thought about whether she regretted it or not; all she wanted was for the Di Family to leave her alone.

"No."

Cheng Ruowei's response seemed to enrage Di Jinye instantaneously.

Her neck felt his fingers tighten, suddenly choking her until she started coughing.

"No? Ha, Cheng Ruowei, are you really not afraid that I'll strangle you?"

Di Jinye was annoyed by her insubordination.

"I am scared of you, so I don't dare to lie to you... I just have no regrets. I've been living well since the divorce. How could someone as calculative as you, Di, be schemed against by a woman like me? Don't let me play you."

Cheng Ruowei knew that her defiance would only make Di Jinye angrier.

She disparaged herself and admitted to the crime, hoping he would grow to detest her and let her go.

At this moment, Di Jinye laughed in anger rather than continuing to strangle her, and even loosened his grip.

"You think your reverse psychology will deceive me? Ex-wife, it's your loss. Wanting to save the Cheng Family's pharmaceutical business is your weakness. Did you think I'd let you and the Cheng Family off the hook?"

"The mistake I made has nothing to do with the Cheng Family."

Cheng Ruowei suddenly panicked, not wanting to drag the Cheng Family down a second time.

Di Jinye lazily narrowed his eyes and chuckled cruelly, "From this moment on, the Cheng Family can neither sell nor find a buyer without my consent. You can only watch the Cheng Family's pharmaceutical business go bankrupt if you don't come pleading to me."

Seeing the fear in Cheng Ruowei's eyes, he laughed.

His large hand slowly caressed her cheek, appearing intimate and ambiguous, yet concealing a dangerous warning.

"Cheng Ruowei, for betraying the Di Family and me, I will make you regret it."

"Are you a demon?"

"That's right, I am your greatest danger."

Cheng Ruowei looked at Di Jinye with incredulity, seeing the mocking smile at the corner of his mouth;, she truly felt cornered.

At the same time.

Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia found their way here using the license plate number.

"Mommy's phone is also located here, that big bad guy must be tracking Mommy."

Just then, Cheng Jiajia looked up and saw the figures by the seventh-floor window.

"Brother look, Mommy is being bullied by the big bad guy."

The distance was too far to see clearly, but Mommy was in danger.

Cheng Yuheng said angrily, "Sister, let's go save Mommy."

On the seventh floor, Di Jinye was waiting for Cheng Ruowei's answer.

The sound of a car alarm came through the phone, and the Di Family's bodyguards reported, "Di, our car's systems have been sabotaged, there must be a hacker."

A hacker?

At this moment, both Cheng Ruowei and Di Jinye had their own answers in mind.

"Is it the person who rescued you from the hotel yesterday? A man?"

Di Jinye felt irrationally irritated seeing Cheng Ruowei's concern.

"Daring to oppose the Di Family is seeking death. Once I catch him, his end will be even more miserable!"

Cheng Ruowei's expression turned to one of terror; she guessed that Yuheng and Jiajia had arrived.

She mustn't let Di Jinye find out she had children!
