After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter Fourteen: No Sweets

"Just like you said, Jiang Xin's heart is now completely filled with Meng Chengze."

"What right do I have to stay?"

Xu Zirui gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The humiliations he had suffered began to surface, revealing a side of Jiang Xin that Xu Zirui had never seen before.

"Now that we're divorced, I never intended to have any further involvement with Jiang Xin."

After Xu Zirui finished speaking, a pang of pain shot through his heart.

How could I possibly compare to that white moonlight?

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Zhenzhen's eyes.

"Dr. Xu, what I said today was indeed a bit abrupt. Please take good care of yourself."

For some reason, Liu Zhenzhen felt somewhat happy after hearing this answer.

Xu Zirui nodded slightly, and before leaving, he took one last look at the desserts.

"Jiang Xin is not in good health, so she should eat less of these sweets, or better yet, not at all."

Watching Xu Zirui leave, Liu Zhenzhen was somewhat dazed.

Dr. Xu looks much thinner than before.

After quickly selecting a few cakes that looked good, Liu Zhenzhen returned to the Jiang Group.

Pushing open the office door, only Jiang Xin was looking at the documents.

Where is Meng Chengze?

When Liu Zhenzhen went upstairs, she didn't see the man, but she did see those annoying relatives, whose smug looks made her very uncomfortable.

"Cheng Ze has gone out. He's taking his parents to Chunjiang Restaurant tonight."

Jiang Xin only glanced at the cake on the table.

"From now on, just leave these kinds of things to your subordinates."

"You are my secretary."

Liu Zhenzhen said unhappily, "Do I still have a chance to refuse?"

“That Meng Chengze is practically the second president of Jiang’s Group. Xinxin, you can’t let him get away with this.”

Jiang Xin stopped what she was doing and looked up slightly.

“Zhenzhen, I know you have some misunderstandings about Cheng Ze. Once you get to know him better, you’ll find that he’s not what you think.”

Liu Zhenzhen was speechless. She suspected that Jiang Xin's leg had healed, but her brain had gone mad.

"So you have absolutely no feelings for Dr. Xu?"

"Seeing how infatuated you are with Meng Chengze, then I'll have to start pursuing Dr. Xu."

"I just parted ways with him at the dessert shop. Dr. Xu even bought quite a few small cakes."

Liu Zhenzhen sat at the table, a smile appearing on her lips.

Jiang Xin's expression froze.

"Did he go buy dessert?"

Having been together for so long, Jiang Xin had never seen Xu Zirui eat anything sweet or greasy.

Liu Zhenzhen noticed Jiang Xin's expression.

"What, didn't you know Dr. Xu likes sweets?"

"But Dr. Xu doesn't look too good. Has he been busy lately?"

Liu Zhenzhen murmured to herself, while Jiang Xin's mind drifted back to the scene at the hospital that day.

Xu Zirui's pale face was right in front of her, and Jiang Xin felt irritated.

Just then, Meng Chengze walked in.

"Xinxin, I'm back."

Meng Chengze's voice sounded extremely aggrieved, and his eyes were red, making him look as if he had been bullied.

Liu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "They really came at the right time."

Jiang Xin was initially worried about Xu Zirui, but seeing Meng Chengze's appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Cheng Ze, have you been crying?"

Jiang Xin was surprised, and Meng Chengze stepped forward, looking aggrieved.

“I went to Chunjiang Restaurant, but I was kicked out and accused of using the Jiang family’s name to cheat and swindle people.”

“I got angry and argued with him for a bit, and then he said that the person next to you was Xu Zirui.”

Meng Chengze was indignant, and Jiang Xin was also somewhat surprised.

"I will handle this matter, and I will also find a suitable time to announce our situation to the public."

Having gotten the answer he wanted from Jiang Xin, Meng Chengze's lips curled into a smile.

Liu Zhenzhen frowned, but ultimately swallowed the words she wanted to say.

"Xinxin, you'd better think about what I'm saying."

"I go first."

Liu Zhenzhen left in her high heels.

Meng Chengze focused his attention on the cake on the table, his face showing excitement.

"I finally bought it. Xinxin, you have to try this store, it's really popular lately."

Meng Chengze continued talking to himself, completely unaware of the complex emotions in Jiang Xin's eyes.

Xu Zirui gave the cake to Zhang Feier and then went home.

However, on the way back, Liu Zhenzhen's words kept replaying in his mind.

Even though they're already divorced, they're essentially two different people now.

But why does Xu Zirui still feel somewhat resentful?

"Zirui, why are you back so early today?"

He Yuqing's voice came through.

Xu Zirui subconsciously raised his head.

He Yuqing was wearing a simple sweatshirt today, looking youthful and energetic.

She's the little sister who always followed me around, just like I remember her.

"I'm on vacation. Oh, and I brought you some cake."

Xu Zirui took out the cake box, which surprised He Yuqing.

"I remember that when Zirui was little, he disliked eating these things the most."

"I was just thinking of going to buy from this store when I had time."

"Thank you, Brother Zirui."

He Yuqing smiled, and Xu Zirui felt a warm breeze on his face.

But I felt empty inside, and I couldn't help but think of what He Yuqing had said earlier.

Even He Yuqing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, remembered his preferences.

But will Jiang Xin remember?

Having taken care of Jiang Xin for so many years, Xu Zirui remembers every one of her preferences and is extremely attentive to her needs.

But now Meng Chengze's appearance has shattered everything.

Xu Zirui gave a forced smile.

"I bought these for my colleagues, and I bought a lot more than I was supposed to."

"I'm going home first."

Xu Zirui left in a hurry, and He Yuqing seemed a little disappointed.

However, it was fleeting.

As soon as I entered the house, Chen Huifang gave me a concerned look.

"I saw it just now. You ran into Qingqing at the door, didn't you? Did you talk about anything?"

"Where are you at now?"

Chen Huifang's eyes were full of gossip.

Xu Zirui shook his head.

"Mom, what are you thinking? We haven't made any progress, so please stop asking."

Xu Zirui scratched his head, then turned and went back to his room.

However, when Xu Zirui thought of He Yuqing, he only regarded her as a younger sister and did not have much affection for her.

Having just escaped an emotional vortex, I simply don't have the capacity to love again.

At Chunjiang Restaurant, Meng Chengze was the center of attention.

Inside the spacious private room, relatives and friends kept boasting.

"Cheng Ze, you're really amazing! You managed to bring us to such a great restaurant."

"I knew I was right about you."

"Yes, we'll all be relying on Cheng Ze from now on!"

Amidst all the praise, Xu Zirui gradually lost himself and began to believe that everything he was doing was due to his own efforts.

The private room was filled with laughter and chatter, and the compliments could be heard throughout the corridor.

Meng Chengze looked at his relatives with arrogance when a knock came at the door.

"Sir, this was brought to you by the customer next door. They said they wanted to give it to you as a gift for a friend."

The waiter came in with two bottles of red wine on a tray, which looked quite expensive.
