The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

"Just last month." Ning Xi picked up another piece of sushi and hummed: "Auntie said that if you don't come back, they will recognize me as their biological daughter and drive you out of the house!"

"Haha." Ji Yunxu chuckled: "Okay, you are welcome to come, my parents like you the most."

As he spoke, he picked up a tissue and gently wiped away the caviar on Ning Xi's mouth, his eyes focused and gentle, "It's just like when I was a kid, I always eat it everywhere."

Ning Xi was slightly startled, then took the tissue from Ji Yunxu's hand and said dryly: "I'll do it myself, you can eat."

"Okay." Ji Yunxu's hand paused in mid-air, then he rolled up his sleeves and carefully peeled the peony shrimps and put them on Ning Xi's plate.

The two of them chatted while eating, and the time soon reached ten o'clock in the evening.

Ji Yunxu glanced at his watch and saw that it was already late and the food on the table was almost finished, so he asked softly: "Have you eaten yet? I will take you home, otherwise your husband will be angry."

After hearing this, Ning Xi stretched out her chopsticks towards the salmon.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I'm divorced."

"What?" Ji Yunxu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and comforted in a low voice: "Are you divorced?"

He hid the surprise in his eyes and patted Ning Xi's shoulder gently: "That's because he has no vision and doesn't know how to cherish it."

"It doesn't matter." Ning Xi shook her head and smiled at him, "I didn't care a long time ago. Now, I just hope to get the divorce certificate as soon as possible."

Ji Yunxu's eyes were filled with distress, "When this matter is settled, I will take you out for a trip to relax."

"Okay, it just so happens that I have a lot of places I want to go." Ning Xi's eyes were bright.

"Okay, you can go wherever you want." Ji Yunxu looked at the person opposite, with a different kind of doting hidden in his tone.

……

After eating, Ji Yunxu drove Ning Xi back to the hotel.

Before getting off the car, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Xi, why are you staying in the hotel? Do you have nowhere to go? You can stay at my place..."

"No." Ning Xi shook her head and interrupted what he had not finished saying: "I am staying in the hotel with my uncle. When the business here is finished and the contract is signed, I will follow him home."

"Uncle?" Ji Yunxu couldn't help but wonder: "Why haven't I heard that you have an uncle before?"

Ning Xi bit her lip, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "I only found out not long ago. In addition to my uncle, I also have biological parents."

"Biological parents?!" Ji Yunxu was even more surprised.

He grew up with Ning Xi. He only knew that she and her grandfather depended on each other, but he never knew that she had other relatives.

"Yes." Ning Xi nodded hesitantly, "It's a long story. I'll tell you again when I have the chance."

"Okay, it's a bit late today. Then I can come over to visit uncle tomorrow, okay?"

Ji Yunxu stared at the girl in front of him until she nodded in agreement, then slowly said, "I'm back now. If you need help in the future, just tell me."

His eyes flickered, and there was a look of forbearance and restraint in his eyes.

Seeing his serious look, Ning Xi thought it would be a lie if she said she wasn't moved, "I know, I will definitely tell you."

After hearing this, Ji Yunxu put on his smile again and said, "Okay, go back and rest quickly."

"Goodbye, Brother Yunxu, please be safe on the road." Ning Xi waved her hands obediently and ran back to the hotel lobby holding her canvas bag.

Ji Yunxu stood under the dim street lights until the girl's back completely disappeared, then turned around and returned to the car.

As soon as he turned on the car lights, his cell phone rang suddenly.

After answering the phone, Qin Yu's impatient voice came from the other side: "I heard from Xiao Zhang that you returned to China yesterday?"

Ji Yunxu's voice was calm: "Well, I arrived last night."

"Then why didn't you meet Xiao Xi for a reunion?" Qin Yu asked next.

Ji Yunxu put on his Bluetooth headphones, started the car, and said in a calm tone: "We just had dinner together."

"Oh~" Qin Yu winked and laughed strangely, "I started pretty quickly this time."

Ji Yunxu did not answer, but silently raised the corners of his lips.

"Okay, you have to seize the opportunity this time. Don't let anyone get there first. I'm optimistic about you." Qin Yu finished her instructions and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Ji Yunxu's expression remained unchanged. While waiting for the red light, he lowered his head and glanced at the photo of himself and Ning Xi on the screen of his phone.

In the evening, Ning Xi went to make medicine for her uncle as usual.

Wen Mochen had just finished a video conference when she walked into the room carrying hot Chinese medicine.

Seeing Ning Xi approaching, there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Why have you been gone so long? Who are you going to have dinner with so late? A man or a woman?"

"The man's name is Ji Yunxu."

Ning Xi put down the bowl and slowly explained: "He and I grew up together and have known each other since we were in kindergarten. He went to France to study for a Ph.D. five years ago and is now a professor at S University. He just returned to China yesterday."

Wen Mochen looked at her and gave a meaningful smile, "Oh~ So you are still childhood sweethearts?"

"Yes." Ning Xi had no choice but to hold her uncle's hand and began to feel his pulse.

Feeling the beating pulse under her hand, she frowned more and more.

After a while, Ning Xi raised her head, her eyes filled with questioning: "Uncle, did you fail to take your medicine on time?"

"what?"

Wen Mochen was stunned for a moment, then put away his joking smile and said, "Don't accuse me unjustly. I take good medicine every day."

"Really?" Ning Xi narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "You didn't secretly smoke either?"

"Of course not!" Wen Mochen's eyes were extremely sincere.

Ning Xi watched him lie quietly, then stood up suddenly, crossed her arms across her chest, and said in a deep voice, "You still want to lie to me? I've seen you smoking these days."

Wen Mochen is indeed an old fox who has been in the shopping mall for many years. He still looks calm as usual, "Xiao Xi, did you make a wrong diagnosis? If you don't believe me, just call Secretary Zhang in and let's verify it."

"What are you verifying?" Ning Xi hummed, with a hint of anger on his face, "Uncle, don't lie to me! Your pulse has already given you away."

Hearing this, Wen Mochen lowered his head in shame: "Good Xiaoxi, I won't dare to do it next time."

Ning Xi pinched his wrist and said seriously: "Uncle, don't think I'm nagging, I'm thinking about you too. It's not too late to enjoy life after you take good care of yourself. Now, you must obey the doctor's orders and stop being willful. ”

Wen Mochen lowered his eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Okay, I promise you."

Ning Xi then walked out of the room carrying the finished medicine bowl.

When she opened the door to leave, she happened to encounter a beautiful woman in professional attire knocking on the door holding a large push of documents.

As they passed each other, Ning Xi glanced at the woman's face, but there was no memory in her mind.

Secretary Zhang on the side saw this and introduced in a low voice: "The person who just came in is Wang Qi, special assistant to the general manager. He has been with Mr. Wen ever since he took over the company."

"Oh." Ning Xi nodded slightly, but didn't take it to heart and turned around to return to the room.

Early the next morning, Ji Yunxu came to the hotel as scheduled.

"This is my childhood friend, Ji Yunxu. This is my uncle, Wen Mochen."

Ning Xi stood in the middle of the sofa and introduced the two of them respectively.

Ji Yunxu smiled politely and bent slightly: "Hello Mr. Wen, I am Xiao Xi's friend."

"Well, I heard what Xiao Xi said." Wen Mochen nodded, "I heard that you just came back from studying for a Ph.D. abroad? You are really young and promising."

"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Ji Yunxu's smile did not change, but his eyes looked at Ning Xi unabashedly.
