29 Contract Marriage (27)

After he had finished listening to Jiang Yuan’s words, Mu Feng’s eyes widened. There was a strong sense of disbelief in his eyes, and he instinctively extended his hand to stop her from leaving.

Jiang Yuan took a step back and dodged his hand.

Damn!

This man wanted to use his dirty hand to contaminate her!!

(????)

There was disdain on the woman’s pale face. She looked troubled, and she had even used her hands to sweep away the non-existent dust from her shoulder.

When Mu Feng didn’t act appropriately, the smile on Jiang Yuan’s face slowly disappeared. Her black eyes were filled with bitterness and without warmth.

“Know what is good for you.”

Her voice was still soft and was somewhat musical.

However, Mu Feng could feel the chills down his spine because he saw the eyes of that beautiful woman before him.

It was the eyes of someone high and mighty, way out of commoners’ reach.

Cold and scornful.

It was like she was looking at something already dead.

Mu Feng immediately looked away as he felt himself shaking from the cold. His arms froze in place.

In the past, when Jiang Yuan looked at him, it had always been affectionate, shy, innocent, and naive.

It wasn’t anything like this.

Now, all he could feel was coldness.

In just an instant, Jiang Yuan once again returned to her slothful self and was no longer cold and filled with disdain.

She said lazily, “Stop wasting your time on me. Even if I were to separate from Gu Xichao, I am still the Jiang family’s eldest daughter. If you get in my way, there won’t be a good ending for you.”

Jiang Yuan was simply stating a fact.

Power had always been a good thing. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family from the capital city, she had the right and power to live as she liked.

As for someone like Mu Feng, who had attracted her vengeful gaze, as long as Jiang Yuan wanted, she could easily make his life a living hell.

Of course, she was blind in the past. However, Jiang Yuan was too lazy to settle the score with him. Yet, the assumption was that he would stay away from her, and stop meddling in her affairs.

After saying that, Jiang Yuan then left the café without leaving behind anything.

Mu Feng didn’t dare to stop her this time.

At a printing shop by the roadside, Jiang Yuan held a stack of documents.

That was right.

She didn’t forget to print a new set of the divorce settlement agreement.

When she was at the printing shop, Jiang Yuan had also signed her name on it.

She was really a sly woman~

(?¯?¯)??°

Jiang Yuan took out her cell phone and called Gu Xichao.

It rang a few times and was quickly picked up.

“Jiang Yuan?”

A man’s baritone voice came from the other side of the line. It was as if a little brush was brushing her eardrums. It sounded as if the person speaking was just next to her.

Jiang Yuan acknowledged his question and then asked him directly, “Are you free tonight?”

The man on the other side of the line was quiet for a moment, and he seemed to be slightly surprised when he said, “I’m free. What is it?”

Jiang Yuan replied, “Originally, I wanted to look for you at your office, but I didn’t know if you would be there… so I thought about giving you a call first.”

“Alright,” Gu Xichao answered plainly. “Where are you? I’ll go pick you up. It’s almost time for lunch anyway. Let’s go grab lunch.”

He made it sound like he was just going with the flow.

Jiang Yuan didn’t think too much about it and simply agreed to it. She then told him her current location.

Gu Xichao ended the call.

He then looked at the screen of his cell phone as if he was thinking of something. His blue eyes darkened, and no one knew what he was thinking.

His secretary came into his office. “Mr. Gu, the meeting later…”

The man drummed his pale fingers on the desk. He then said, “Cancel it.”

The secretary was surprised.

What happened?!
