Sit at the wrong table on a blind date, get married to the heir of a billionaire family

"We're going to break up anyway, what's the point of continuing like this?"

Gan Qi spoke calmly, but at the same time, she was subtly reminding him: stop wasting your time, the divorce was a done deal.

Meng Yan said in a deep voice, "After all, we were husband and wife. I feel guilty that I haven't introduced you to my real family since we got married."

Gan Qi: "No need to feel guilty. At least we've both had the experience of marriage. Just consider it an experience! I've thought things through very clearly these past few days. Although you kept many things from me, you've also helped me a lot. I'm not an ungrateful person. Let's just be friends."

Meng Yan: "But we did get a marriage certificate after all... Even if you insist on getting a divorce, at least have a family reunion dinner in front of my elders."

Gan Qi smiled and said, "But it really doesn't make any sense. After the divorce, we'll be completely unrelated parallel people. You can continue being your rich young master, and I'll continue being my ordinary self. I don't think people like your aunt and uncle... have time to waste on an ordinary person like me."

Ganqi knew that she and they were from different worlds and didn't have much in common, so they might not accept her.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I bet your parents are secretly upset that you married an ordinary woman without their consent, right?"

"No, you are overthinking."

Meng Yan explained, "My mother likes you very much. You've met her, and she really likes you. She wholeheartedly approves of you as her daughter-in-law. Although my father hasn't met you, he also thinks you're a good girl."

Gan Qi wasn't stupid; she didn't believe that at all.

"Don't try to fob me off with these excuses. As the behind-the-scenes heads of top conglomerates, your aunt and uncle are used to elegant socialites. In their eyes, what difference is there between an ordinary person like me and a beggar on the street?"

Come to think of it, no wonder that when Meng's mother came last time, she felt that many things were not right.

Meng Yan said that her mother was in a folk art troupe and did performances.

She exudes the air of a wealthy lady from head to toe.

My mother was a pampered beauty, and my father spent most of his time recuperating abroad. This marriage, which was not approved by our elders, was not well-regarded to begin with.

Meng Yan: "My mother is very supportive of me being with you."

But to Gan Qi, these words were nothing more than an excuse.

"do not talk."

Gan Qi interrupted him, "Isn't it better for us to part amicably like this? Let's just consider it another experience in each other's lives. I believe you will meet the right person soon, and so will I."

Meng Yan had originally intended to advise her, but upon hearing her words, he frowned:

What does it mean to say 'you'll meet the right person soon'?

His tone suddenly turned cold:

"The 'suitable person' you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be that Zhang Xing outside, would you?"

Gan Qi certainly didn't like Zhang Xing, and she wanted to laugh at Meng Yan's words, but she held back.

Even if she didn't like Zhang Xing, she didn't feel the need to explain to Meng Yan.

"You don't need to worry about that. Mind your own business, Young Master Meng."

She felt it was pointless to even glance at someone like Zhang Xing, who loved to brag and had no moral compass.

However, she really didn't want to say that much to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan: "Are you really leaving absolutely no room for negotiation? Besides me, is there any more outstanding man in this world worth waiting for?"

He simply couldn't understand why, despite being showered with accolades since childhood, no woman had ever dared to look down on him.

But why did he feel so inferior in front of Gan Qi?

Gan Qi turned around, her back to him: "I just hope that the next person I meet will be someone who can live a down-to-earth life, someone who doesn't need to hide their identity, someone who doesn't make me guess."

Meng Yan: "But apart from my identity and family background, I really didn't hide anything else."

As he said this, Meng Yan was actually regretting it.

He gripped the dishcloth tightly in his hand.

If he had known that there would be so much time and opportunity after marriage, he should have found a suitable opportunity to confess to her.

It's been dragged on and on, and now it's impossible to get out of this mess.

Meng Yan felt very frustrated—he had indeed lied to her, that was an undeniable fact.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered hearing someone say that the best way for a man to persuade a woman is to give her a passionate kiss.

...Many women are actually easy to coax. Just hold her and kiss her hard until she's dizzy, and there will naturally be room for the relationship to turn around.

However, that's just a plot in novels and TV dramas.

Meng Yan took a deep breath, wondering if he should take advantage of their time alone together and pick her up for a deep kiss.

Unfortunately, he had just wiped his hands and hadn't even taken any action when he suddenly heard a voice at the kitchen door.

"Hey, hey, hey, why is it taking so long to refresh something? Need help?"

With a grin on his face, Zhang Xing walked into the kitchen, deliberately interrupting their conversation.

Meng Yan: !

Gan Qi was overjoyed and wiped the stove: "It's done."

One minute later.

When Meng Yan, Zhang Xing, and Wen Wen came out of Gan Qi's house, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

Wenwen held Lele in her arms and said, "Brother-in-law, Lele is sleepy. I'm taking her back to rest."

"Ah."

The group slowly descended the stairs. Wenwen sighed and left.

A subtle atmosphere permeates the relationship between Zhang Xing and Meng Yan, these two "love rivals".

With a hint of provocation, Zhang Xing said, "Hey Mr. Meng, you were chatting with Gan Qi for so long in the kitchen just now, were you trying to get back together with her?"

Meng Yan said with a stern face, "Our affairs as husband and wife are none of your business."

Zhang Xing: "You're about to get divorced, so stop talking about 'the two of you' all the time. Gan Qi clearly only sees you as an ordinary friend."

He looked confident and assured.

"Actually, it's no use for a man to rely on his looks! In the end, it's about ability and future prospects! Although I don't know what you lied to Gan Qi about when you married her, a marriage full of lies won't last long."
