Chapter 8
He wanted to ask himself that very question.
"Don't worry about the anniversary dinner."
His wife spoke in a cool voice. Was she aware that the smile had vanished from her face?
"Why would that be important right now?"
Her words were said with a biting tone.
"Because it wouldn't be proper if we don't celebrate it."
As he responded, Jun Shang was aware how absurd he sounded. How could he be worried about propriety in this situation?
How wife's lips opened as she stared at him. Then it closed back shut. No one knew who would bring up the subject of divorce first. Who would officially end this relationship? Who would end this game they had been playing? Whoever brought it up would have to bear the weight of the consequences.
His wife wanted to be the victim of this relationship.
"You should have received a call from your family, Xiao."
Jun Shang crossed his arm as he leaned on the desk. He didn't forget to put on a soft and relaxed smile.
"But do you think our relationship should be shaken because of something like that?"
"What?"
His wife glared at him as she asked. As he looked back at his wife, he realized that her wedding ring had disappeared from her left ring finger. Had she already gotten rid of it? His good mood immediately vanished.
His wife wasn't feeling that much better. She had a resolute expression on her face that he had not seen in their two years of marriage. Now that he thought about it, they had never fought before. It was obvious why they hadn't. They never had a reason to.
"Jun Shang."
His wife called him in a stiff voice.
"Your father will have already made a decision."
'Your father'. She had already stopped calling him 'Father-in-law'. As she said, the President had made a decision. He had commanded Jun Shang to get a divorce in the conference room at work.
"Am I wrong?"
Divorce. Right. We need to get one. But for some reason, it put him in a bad mood.
For some small, trivial reason.
Was it his pride? Or his bad temper?
He didn't know. Whenever he made a decision, Jun Shang was logical and sharp. The only time he made any decision based on emotion was due to his hormones during his teenage years.
So what was he doing right now?
Why was he talking nonsense?
Why was he observing Yun Xiao's reaction? Why did he notice her fingers and her small movements?
"I think...
Jun Shang opened his mouth and continued to stare sharply at Xiao.
"...there's something different going on in our situation right now."
Xiao wordlessly pondered over Jun Shang's words.
"Something our company or RJ didn't notice."
"Just what are you talking about?"
Xiao bit her lip as if she was shocked.
"Huang clearly implemented the details both companies agreed on."
"You're right. But we still got some damage from this."
"That's ridiculous."
"I wonder why."
Jun Shang suddenly steered the conversation in a different direction.
"It seems that you've been expecting this and are even glad this has happened."
Her slightly hardened eyes instantly went cold.
"...How can that be? I truly am disappointed that this has happened to our two companies."
Disappointed.
For a moment, Jun Shang felt a twitch in his gut.
His wife was amazing. Her word choices were appropriate for this divorce. 'Disappointed'. Living under a contract marriage for 2 years, and disappointed in ending things this way.
