Hiding her pregnant belly and leaving, the CEO's ex-husband cried red eyes

His hands were not too forceful, but An Xia could still feel the man's childish and secret competitive spirit.

The moment it felt familiar, An Xia also felt like it had been a long time since she last saw the place.

Lu Beichuan has always been like this.

Boring. He doesn't like to talk, he likes to hide things, but he always leads people to guess.

I will be unhappy if I guess wrong.

When I guessed it right, I felt as happy as a kid getting the lollipop he had longed for.

He has always been like this since the year I met him.

It was not until Ming Xiyu's accident that he suddenly seemed like a different person.

Although he still doesn't like to talk, he doesn't want people to guess his thoughts, so he hides himself even deeper.

Suddenly, for a moment, An Xia felt as if she saw Lu Beichuan before his marriage.

I even thought, how nice it would be if nothing changed.

An Xia was forced to pick up a piece of tripe.

It tastes the same as before.

Lu Beichuan stared at her motionlessly, his eyes clearly hiding other thoughts, but he didn't say it.

He seemed to be going back to the old days, but An Xia didn't.

If you don't want to say it, don't say it.

She chewed it twice, pretending to savor it carefully, then swallowed it. She moved her chopsticks elsewhere and picked up a piece of duck gizzard, which she also tasted carefully without making any comment.

His face was calm and no reaction could be seen.

Lu Beichuan's thighs under the dining table suddenly tensed up.

His thin lips moved a few times, as if he was about to say something.

An Xia caught a glimpse of it, but remained unmoved. She remained quiet from beginning to end and slowly enjoyed the dinner.

It’s as if I don’t understand anything and nothing happened.

Lu Beichuan stared at her for a long time, finally chuckled, and finally picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Seeing that An Xia's eating speed was gradually slowing down, Lu Beichuan stood up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and placed it in front of her.

The food we had tonight was very oily and spicy, so a glass of freshly squeezed juice is just right to clear our mouths.

An Xia also took it calmly.

"What are you busy with recently?" Lu Beichuan asked slowly while wiping his mouth.

An Xia didn't want him to know that she had opened a studio.

Although she knew that she couldn't keep this a secret, An Xia didn't want him to know that she was about to have financial freedom before she paid back the 20 million yuan and settled the score with him. This would prevent him from causing any more trouble.

"Nothing."

Lu Beichuan looked at her: "Why don't you come back to work if you are not busy?"

This is what I asked...

An Xia felt that Lu Beichuan was pretending to be naive and innocent.

"Because there is no need." An Xia said: "I agreed to work at Lu's because the salary you offered was very attractive, but now I can earn so much with my own ability, so there is naturally no need to take advantage of you anymore."

Lu Beichuan's gaze remained on her motionlessly, his deep eyes concealing some ambiguous emotions.

An Xia felt inexplicably frightened when being stared at.

She had a vague feeling that she might not be able to bear what Lu Beichuan said next.

Just like dumplings and yogurt just now.

But before she could change the subject, Lu Beichuan had already spoken.

"Have you ever thought about why I pay you so much?"

An Xia paused.

Lu Beichuan added: "Especially when you still owe me money."

An Xia pursed her lips.

After he mentioned this, An Xia realized belatedly that something was wrong.

Looking at her slightly shaking shoulders, Lu Beichuan's lips curved slightly.

"Tell me?"

And urged her.

An Xia tilted her head, stirring the plate of kelp shreds with the chopsticks in her hand.

"The big boss is kind-hearted. He maintains Grandet's principles while spreading kindness?"

Lu Beichuan smiled, stared at her for a long while, and squeezed out a word: "Coward."

An Xia: “!”

"It seems that you have been forcing yourself to be so irritable towards me during this period."

"..."

"Anxia, ​​don't forget, I am the person who knows you best in this world." Lu Beichuan twisted the crystal cup beside him with his fingertips. A myriad of emotions were constantly surging in his dark eyes.

All of An Xia's embarrassment was completely overturned because of this sentence. She remembered something and sneered.

"Yes, because you know me well, you know how to manipulate me easily. Hiding the truth from me all these years is like hiding it from a fool."

Lu Beichuan choked.

An Xia raised his eyebrows.

Continue if you can.

He has always been the one who should feel guilty in this marriage.

Still pretending.

Pretend!

After Lu Beichuan was silent for a moment, his voice became hoarse: "It is wrong for me to hide your father's affairs from you, but I am doing this for your own good."

"The premise of doing good for me is to get my consent. I must at least be informed. Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will just be self-indulgent."

An Xia would never accept this so-called PUA or moral kidnapping.

What's more, this bastard threatened her with her father's medical expenses when she filed for divorce.

Not sure if it was because An Xia's tone was too harsh, or because the last four words hit him too hard, or maybe both, but Lu Beichuan's face suddenly turned pale.

An Xia captured it clearly.

I should have felt happy, but for some reason, I just felt bitter.

"But no matter what, you have helped my father once. Thank you. But in the future, you don't need to interfere in our family affairs anymore."

An Xia drew a clear line directly, not wanting to leave Lu Beichuan any chance.

Lu Beichuan's face turned from pale to dark.

"We're not divorced yet."

"We are getting divorced soon."

An Xia immediately retorted.

"I regret it."

Lu Beichuan said this lightly, and An Xia Shuo suddenly widened her eyes.

"What did you say?"

"I said I regret it. The divorce agreement is invalid." Lu Beichuan remained calm.

An Xia slammed the table and stood up, his eyes red.

"Do you think we still need to maintain our marriage?"

"No? I feel very happy to marry you."

At this moment, all of grandma's advice went to hell in Lu Beichuan's head.

Let go, proceed step by step, persuade with kind words, express directly...

It's all useless!

No matter how he showed weakness, no matter how he directly demonstrated to An Xia his determination not to give up, even if he had to swallow his pride and tell her all his past selfish behaviors, he wanted to confess everything to her.

But An Xia remained unmoved.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Lu Beichuan's mind.

That is, divorce is absolutely not allowed!

I must never give her the chance to leave me!

At the beginning, I agreed to pay her 20 million for the divorce in order to leave some time to slowly ease the relationship between them and give each other time to slowly transition.

He never thought about letting go from the beginning.

He didn't expect An Xia to take it seriously and really want to leave him, and her attitude became more and more tough and determined.

I don't want to waver even for a moment.
