After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The lights come on, the night is as deep as ink, dotted with stars, covering the city with a mysterious veil.

A private club located in the city center, known for its low-key luxury style, was reserved by Xiang Yu tonight. Soft lights poured down, making the entire space warm and romantic. The long table was covered with a white tablecloth, and exquisite tableware was placed on it. The flickering candlelight was reflected in the high-heeled glasses, reflecting the blurred light and shadow.

Yan Jin was wearing a simple evening gown that showed off her exquisite figure, elegant yet capable. When she opened the door, she saw this scene, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"You're here." Xiang Yu stood up and pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman.

Yan Jin sat down, glanced around, and said lightly: "It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it."

"I am happy to do anything for you." Xiang Yu looked at her affectionately, with love in his eyes undisguised.

Yan Jin did not respond. He picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, his eyes falling on the bright red liquid in the glass, as if he was thinking about something.

"Jinjin, I know I ignored you before and didn't give you the happiness you wanted. But please believe me, I really want to make it up to you now." Xiang Yu's voice was low and sincere, "Give me a chance, let me pursue you again, okay?"

Yan Jin put down the wine glass and looked up at him. The coldness in her eyes seemed to melt a little: "Xiang Yu, do you know what the problem between us is? It's not that you didn't give me the happiness I wanted, but..."

"But?" Xiang Yu's heart was in his throat.

Yan Jin paused, his eyes becoming deep: "But between us, we are missing the most basic..."

"But we lack the most basic... respect and understanding." Yan Jin gently put down the wine glass, looked directly at Xiang Yu, his tone calm but with a hint of firmness.

Xiang Yu was silent. Yan Jin's words pierced his heart like a sharp knife. He had always thought that giving her a good life and solving all her problems was good for her, but he ignored her true inner desire.

"You always make decisions for me and arrange everything for me, but you never ask me what I want or what my dream is." Yan Jin's voice was filled with helplessness. "You treat me as a canary that needs protection, but you don't see my wings that long to soar into the sky."

Xiang Yu's heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He clenched his fists and whispered, "Jinjin, you are right, I was wrong. I was too self-righteous in the past and ignored your feelings." He took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm. "During this time, I have been reflecting on myself and trying to understand your world. I have seen the hardships you have gone through in starting your company, your perseverance in fighting for your dreams, and also... the strength and courage in you that I have never known before."

Xiang Yu's words were sincere and frank, without any fancy words, but they made Yan Jin feel the change from his heart.

"You know, in the early days of my business, I only slept four or five hours a day. In order to get the order, I..." Yan Jin seemed to open up and began to tell Xiang Yu about the hardships and difficulties she had gone through. Her tone was calm, without any complaints, but it made Xiang Yu feel even more distressed.

"I succeeded. I am no longer the eldest daughter of the Yan family who needs to rely on my family. I can create my own world with my own abilities." There was a gleam in Yan Jin's eyes, which showed her persistence and love for her dream.

Xiang Yu listened quietly, he seemed to see the woman who had overcome all obstacles in the business world, her strength, independence, and self-confidence deeply attracted him. He finally understood that what Yan Jin wanted was not a golden cage, but a sky where she could fly freely.

"Jinjin, you are amazing." Xiang Yu praised sincerely, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

The gap between the two seemed to disappear at this moment, replaced by a tacit understanding of mutual appreciation.

"It's getting late. I'll ask Assistant Chen to take you home." Xiang Yu stood up and pulled out a chair for Yan Jin in a gentlemanly manner.

"No need, I drove here by myself." Yan Jin picked up her handbag and stood up to leave.

"Wait." Xiang Yu stopped her and looked at her deeply, "Jinjin, give me a chance, let me get to know you again, and let you..."

He paused, and said firmly: "It will also let you see a brand new Xiang Yu."

Yan Jin looked at him deeply, with a faint smile on his face: "Maybe..."

Yan Jin did not answer immediately. She picked up her handbag, left a sentence "I'm leaving first", and turned to leave. Xiang Yu looked at her leaving back, his eyes full of expectation and uneasiness.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Assistant Chen and Public Relations Zhou witnessed the interaction between the two and both showed relieved smiles on their faces.

"It seems that the relationship between President Xiang and President Yan is finally breaking the ice." Assistant Chen said softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"Yes, it's not easy." PR Zhou also nodded, "Mr. Xiang has put a lot of thought into this during this period. I hope Mr. Yan can feel his sincerity."

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over with a wine glass. He was Mr. Li, Yan Jin's company partner.

"Mr. Li, why are you here too?" Assistant Chen saw the person coming and hurried forward to greet him.

"I'm here to see my partners, and also to witness the century-long reconciliation between President Xiang and President Yan." President Li said with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

Assistant Chen and PR Zhou smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"Come on, let's have a toast to President Xiang and President Yan." President Li raised his glass and said loudly.

"Cheers!" Assistant Chen and Public Relations Zhou also raised their glasses. After the three of them clinked their glasses, they drank it all in one gulp.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Xiang Yu stood alone by the window, looking out with deep eyes. Mr. Li came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Mr. Xiang, cherish the people in front of you."

Xiang Yu turned around and looked at the partner in front of him who had worked with Yan Jin for many years. He nodded with determination in his eyes.

“I know, I will cherish it.”

Mr. Li smiled, said nothing more, and turned away. Xiang Yu looked at his back, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that Mr. Li's words were meant to hope that he could treat Yan Jin well and not let her get hurt again.

After the banquet, Xiang Yu walked up to Yan Jin and asked softly, "Let me take you home."

Yan Jin looked at him and didn't refuse. The two walked out of the banquet hall one after the other and came to the parking lot. As night fell, the moonlight poured down like water, making the two figures look particularly slender. Xiang Yu opened the car door and let Yan Jin get in, then walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

"Where do you want to go?" Xiang Yu asked, but his eyes were always on the road ahead.

"Whatever." Yan Jin replied calmly, as if he didn't care where he went.

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned the car around and drove towards the suburbs. Yan Jin looked at him in surprise, but didn't say anything. The car drove for about half an hour and stopped at the entrance of a secluded park. Xiang Yu got out of the car first, then walked to the passenger seat and opened the door for Yan Jin.

"Let's go for a walk," he said, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, just nodded, and then followed him into the park. The park was very quiet, with only the street lights emitting a dim light, casting the figures of the two on the ground. They walked side by side on the quiet path, no one spoke, but they could feel each other's presence.

As they walked, Xiang Yu suddenly reached out and held Yan Jin's hand. Yan Jin was slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Xiang Yu held it tightly.

"Don't move." He whispered, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "Let me... hold you like this, just fine."

Yan Jin didn't say anything. Under the moonlight, the outline of her face softened a lot, as if she had let down her usual guard. Feeling the warmth coming from his hand, she let Xiang Yu lead her, and the two of them strolled on the tree-lined path covered with moonlight.

"Jin'er," Xiang Yu broke the silence, his voice low and gentle, "I know I ignored you and didn't cherish you before. After the divorce, I realized that I can't live without you."

Yan Jin stopped and turned to look at him. Under the moonlight, her eyes were filled with complex emotions. "Xiang Yu, we are over."

"No, it's not over yet," Xiang Yu stepped forward, holding her shoulders with both hands, and said firmly, "Jin'er, give me a chance, let me make it up to you, okay?"

Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly. The wariness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of confusion and hesitation.

At this moment, Yan Jin's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the delicate atmosphere between the two. She took out her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID, frowning slightly.

"Sorry, I'll take a call."

"Yeah." Xiang Yu nodded and watched her walk aside to answer the phone.

"Hello, Assistant Chen, what's going on?" Yan Jin's voice was as calm as ever, but the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

On the other end of the phone, Assistant Chen's voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, "Boss Yan, it's bad, something has happened at the company..."

Yan Jin's face turned pale instantly, and the fingers holding the phone turned slightly white due to the force. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Assistant Chen recounted the incident in a hurried tone. The more Yan Jin listened, the uglier her face became. After hanging up the phone, she stood there for a long time without coming back to her senses.

"Jin'er, what's wrong? What happened?" Xiang Yu noticed that something was wrong with her, walked quickly to her side and asked with concern.

Yan Jin raised her head, her eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness, "The company...something happened at the company..."

With a trembling voice, she told Xiang Yu what Assistant Chen had told her. Under the moonlight, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of helplessness and hesitation. Xiang Yu looked at her, his heart tightened, and he reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Yan Jin leaned weakly on his shoulder. At this moment, she seemed to have lost all her strength and independence and just wanted to find someone to rely on.

"Let's go to the company now." Xiang Yu held her shoulders and said firmly, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."

Yan Jin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who she had once regarded as a stranger. A warm current surged in her heart. She nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Under the cover of night, the two walked side by side towards the parking lot. Their backs were stretched particularly long by the street lights, as if foreshadowing the storms they were about to face together.

"Wait, my car..." Yan Jin suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something, and turned to look at the car parked not far away.

However, when her eyes fell on the car, her pupils shrank suddenly, her face turned even paler, her voice trembled, and she almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth:

"My car...is gone..."
