After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The lights in the banquet hall were still bright, reflecting the smiles on the faces of the guests, but they could not illuminate Yan Jin's heart. The appearance of that person was like a stone, breaking the tranquility of the lake and disturbing her mood that had finally calmed down.

His name is Lin Xiao, he was Yan Jin's senior in college and also her former love interest. Back then, the two of them missed each other for various reasons. Now, he reappeared in her life as an investor, with the confidence and radiance of a successful person, but also with a hint of complex emotions that Yan Jin could not see through.

"Long time no see, Yan Jin. After a few years, you are still as radiant as ever." Lin Xiao's tone was familiar and intimate, as if they had never been separated for all those years.

Yan Jin nodded politely, but there was a hint of alienation in her tone: "Long time no see, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiang Yu, who was standing by, saw Yan Jin's indifference and felt a little unhappy. He calmly held Yan Jin's hand and declared his sovereignty.

Lin Xiao naturally noticed Xiang Yu's actions, but he did not back off. Instead, he chatted with Yan Jin more enthusiastically, ranging from interesting things in college to the current business landscape, and his words were full of concern and appreciation for Yan Jin.

"I heard that you are developing a new project recently. I wonder if I have the honor to be involved in it?" Lin Xiao raised his glass and looked at Yan Jin with burning eyes.

Before Yan Jin could speak, Xiang Yu said, "Mr. Lin, you are joking. I will take care of my wife's affairs. I won't bother you, Mr. Lin."

Xiang Yu's tone was firm and full of unquestionable majesty, but Lin Xiao seemed not to hear the rejection in his words. He still smiled and said, "Mr. Xiang misunderstood. I just wanted to reminisce with an old friend. After all, Yan Jin and I had some good memories together."

Lin Xiao's words were like a thorn that pierced Xiang Yu's heart. He looked at Lin Xiao's undisguised admiration for Yan Jin, and the jealousy in his heart burned fiercely. He suppressed his anger and was about to speak, but saw Yan Jin put down the wine glass, turned around and said to Lin Xiao: "Mr. Lin, I think you may have misunderstood..."

However, before Yan Jin could finish her words, she was pulled away by Xiang Yu. He tightly grasped her wrist and said in a cold tone: "Come with me!"

With Xiang Yu tightly grasping her wrist, Yan Jin could feel the force coming from his hand, as if he was going to crush her. She was dragged through the crowd, and the noise around her seemed to be isolated, leaving only his hurried footsteps and her increasingly strong heartbeat.

Finally, Xiang Yu stopped at a relatively secluded terrace, turned around and pressed her against the cold railing. Surrounded by flashing neon lights and tall buildings in the distance, none of them could reduce the anger in his eyes in the slightest.

"What is your relationship with him?" Xiang Yu's voice was low and dangerous, like the last bit of calm before the storm.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and explained as calmly as possible: "He is just my senior in college. We haven't seen each other for many years. Our meeting tonight was just an accident."

"Accident? Ha!" Xiang Yu sneered, obviously not believing her explanation, "Yan Jin, who do you think I am? A three-year-old child? Do you think I would believe such a clumsy lie?"

Yan Jin frowned slightly, and his patience in explaining was gradually worn out: "Xiang Yu, why would I lie to you? We are divorced. Who I meet and who I reminisce about the past has nothing to do with you!"

"It has nothing to do with me?" Xiang Yu approached her fiercely, his hot breath spraying on her face, with a hint of danger, "Yan Jin, you'd better remember that you are still my woman, Xiang Yu, and I will not allow you to have anything to do with other men!"

Yan Jin's heart sank suddenly, stung by his words. What did he mean by "his woman"? It was over between them a long time ago, why did he still speak to her in such a commanding tone?

"Xiang Yu, calm down!" Yan Jin tried to push him away, but was restrained even tighter. "We are over. I just want to do my own business now. I don't want to be with you anymore..."

"It's over?" Xiang Yu suddenly interrupted her, with a hint of self-mockery and bitterness in his tone, "Yan Jin, do you really think it's over between us?"

Yan Jin was startled. Before she could react, she heard a familiar voice behind her: "It seems that my past with Yan Jin bothers you a lot, Mr. Xiang."

Lin Xiao appeared on the terrace at some point, with an ambiguous smile on his face. He looked back and forth between Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, and finally landed on Xiang Yu's hand that was tightly grasping Yan Jin's wrist. He said meaningfully, "Yan Jin and I were recognized as the golden boy and jade girl in the school when we were in college. Back then..."

"Shut up!" Xiang Yu turned around abruptly, his eyes burning with anger, and pushed Lin Xiao away, "You have no right to mention her past!"

Lin Xiao stumbled a few steps, and after he stood firm, the smile on his face deepened a little: "I'm just telling the truth. What's the matter? Is Mr. Xiang afraid of remembering the real reason why you married Yan Jin?"

"You..." Xiang Yu was furious and was about to explode, but was stopped by Yan Jin.

Yan Jin glanced at Lin Xiao coldly, his tone piercingly cold: "Mr. Lin, please respect yourself! The matter between Xiang Yu and I does not need an outsider like you to interfere!"

"Yan Jin, you..." Lin Xiao didn't seem to expect Yan Jin to defend Xiang Yu so much. The smile on his face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal, "I just don't want to see you being deceived by him..."

"Enough!" Yan Jin shouted angrily, unable to tolerate Lin Xiao's provocation any longer. She turned to look at Xiang Yu and said resolutely, "Xiang Yu, it's really over between us! From now on, whoever I am with has nothing to do with you!"

After saying that, Yan Jin turned around and left without hesitation, leaving Xiang Yu and Lin Xiao standing there, one with a sullen face and the other with a meaningful look.

The night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not extinguish the jealousy and anger burning between the two... Yan Jin's resolute back disappeared into the night, and Xiang Yu felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife, and it was painful. Lin Xiao's words were still echoing in his ears, like sharp thorns, pricking his sensitive nerves.

"Yan Jin and I were recognized as the golden couple in the school when we were in college..."

"Is Mr. Xiang afraid of remembering the real reason why you married Yan Jin?"

The flame of jealousy burned fiercely in his chest, almost devouring him. He turned around abruptly, grabbed Lin Xiao by the collar, and warned him with gritted teeth: "Shut up! It's not your turn to dictate what happens between me and her!"

Lin Xiao did not dodge, but looked at him with a smile, his eyes were a little provocative: "What? Are you angry because I said it? Mr. Xiang, if you really care about her, you should cherish her, instead of regretting it after losing her!"

"What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?!" Xiang Yu roared and punched Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was prepared and dodged to the side, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "It doesn't matter whether I am qualified or not. What's important is that Yan Jin no longer loves you."

This sentence, like a heavy hammer, hit Xiang Yu's heart hard. He staggered back a few steps, let go of his hand weakly, and watched Lin Xiao adjust his collar and walk step by step towards the direction where Yan Jin left.

"Yan Jin, wait for me!" Lin Xiao chased after him, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, tortured by jealousy and regret.

Yan Jin ignored Lin Xiao's call and walked straight to her car. When she was about to get in, she was stopped by Lin Xiao.

"Yan Jin, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong to you back then, but I have reformed now. Give me a chance and let me make it up to you, okay?" Lin Xiao looked at Yan Jin affectionately, his eyes full of pleading.

Yan Jin looked at him coldly, her tone calm: "Lin Xiao, we are over, you don't have to waste your energy. Also, what happened between Xiang Yu and me has nothing to do with you, please don't interfere."

After saying that, Yan Jin walked around Lin Xiao, opened the car door and got in. Lin Xiao wanted to say something else, but was cut off by the sound of the car window slowly rising. He looked at the car that was leaving in a cloud of dust, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Yan Jin, if I can’t get it, no one else can get it!

This scene was seen by Xiang Yu who was not far away. He saw Lin Xiao stopping Yan Jin, saw them "pulling and tugging", and saw Lin Xiao's affectionate eyes...

Anger burned in his chest again. He started the car and chased after him, with only one thought in his mind:

Yan Jin, don't even think about escaping from me!

The next day, Yan Jin came to the company, only to find that everyone in the company was talking about it, and the protagonists of the discussion were her and Lin Xiao.

"Have you heard? Ms. Yan dated her ex-boyfriend last night and was caught by Mr. Xiang!"

"Is this true? No way? Didn't President Yan divorce President Xiang?"

"You don't know this, right? I heard that their divorce was fake, and it was done to provoke Mr. Yan's ex-boyfriend..."

Various versions of rumors were spreading throughout the company. Yan Jin's face turned pale, and he suddenly opened the door of the conference room and asked in a cold voice, "Who is spreading rumors? Stand up!"

Everyone was silent and looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and admit it.

"Very good!" Yan Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "Since no one admits it, then shut up! Also, I don't want to hear any discussion about my private affairs in the company, otherwise..."

"What else?" A cold voice came from the door, with undisguised anger.

Yan Jin looked up suddenly and saw Xiang Yu standing at the door, his face terribly gloomy and his eyes flashing with danger. He walked in step by step, and every step seemed to step on Yan Jin's heart, making her breathless.

"Xiang Yu, you..."

"Yan Jin, do you have anything else to explain?" Xiang Yu interrupted her with an icy tone.

Yan Jin's heart sank little by little...
