After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Zhou Yu smiled, then, as if he had thought of something, asked casually, "Mom, actually Chenxi takes good care of me. After meeting her, I've been wondering what kind of family can raise such an outstanding child."

Madam Mu smiled and shook her head. "What? You have no idea how much she worried me before. I was so anxious about her marriage. She always told me that she had someone she liked, but I could never find a trace of a man around her."

"She has someone she likes?" Zhou Yu forced a smile, feigning curiosity. "Someone as outstanding as Mu Chenxi, how could she not have men who like her? But for someone like her to like someone, he must be an exceptionally outstanding man, right?"

"I'm not entirely sure either, I only know that a boy once saved her life..."

As Madam Mu spoke, she seemed to realize something and quickly looked at him with a smile, "But none of that matters. Now that you're married, I suppose the person she's always liked is you. You two are really something. I kept urging her for a long time, but she didn't care. Then suddenly you got married. I've been keeping your relationship a secret from you for so long."

"..."

Zhou Yu didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled sadly.

Time flies, and it's already afternoon.

After taking the things that Madam Mu had given him, Zhou Yu returned home like a walking corpse.

After riding halfway in the taxi, Zhou Yu decided to get out and walk around.

Walking on this familiar road home, Zhou Yu's heart was filled with sorrow and desolation.

Madam Mu's words kept echoing in Zhou Yu's mind.

She has someone she likes.

That boy saved her life...

As he walked, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and his throat tightened.

How could the boy Mu Chenxi like be him?

He and Mu Chenxi had just met at the Xu family's wedding.

Therefore, Mu Chenxi actually has a precious childhood sweetheart romance.

The ideal man she likes is the one she saw at the hospital this morning, isn't he?

Zhou Yu suddenly smiled, his lips curving upwards, but the smile was unusually bitter and unpleasant.

He's been so smug lately.

The Mu family—in fact, nothing in this house belongs to him, including this woman.

He took advantage of Mu Chenxi's slight kindness to him and started having unrealistic fantasies.

They've been in a fake marriage for so long, and Mu Chenxi has helped him a lot during this time. Now he knows his own goals and ideals and no longer needs her protection.

Previously, Mu Chenxi needed him to help her avoid marriage, but now that her ideal man has appeared, it seems he can step back. He can't continue to shamelessly occupy the position of Mu family's son-in-law.

So, should he take the initiative to bring up the topic of divorce with her?

It was late at night, and there wasn't a single star in sight.

Mu Chenxi always makes sure to walk quietly when she gets home at this time.

Because Zhou Yu had already gone to sleep, she was afraid of disturbing her rest.

Mu Chenxi returned late at night as usual, assuming that Zhou Yu would be resting as usual. However, to her surprise, the villa was brightly lit, and Zhou Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for her to come back.

Upon seeing this scene, Mu Chenxi's gloomy and gloomy demeanor vanished instantly, her good mood overflowing, and even her lips curled up slightly. "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Mu Chenxi noticed the man staring at her and her voice softened, "You waited for me so late today. I heard from Mom that you went to her place to pick up seafood today. You must have gone to a lot of trouble."

Listening to the woman's gentle words, Zhou Yu's eyes held a deep sense of disappointment.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already fallen for her long ago, but he had been too evasive before and had never dared to think about it in this way.

Didn't we already agree on a contractual relationship? Zhou Yu, you've lived two lives, yet you keep wading through the same mud pit. How come you still don't learn your lesson?

He's really... disappointing.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, his hands clenching tightly at his sides with tension. He stared straight at the woman's face. "Mu Chenxi, let's get a divorce."

Mu Chenxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; a crack appeared on her beautiful face, and she was so shocked that she froze on the spot.

It took her a long time to find her voice. "What did you say?"

The living room lights were bright. Zhou Yu's face was somber, and his voice was low. "We got married just to help each other out. Now that's about it, let's not hold each other back. I want to go abroad to pursue an MBA and come back to manage the company better."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Mu Chenxi blurted out, "I can go abroad with you!"

Moreover, what does it mean to not waste each other's time? They've been together for so long, can't he understand her feelings?

Zhou Yu gave a pale laugh. "Stop joking. Your family is so wealthy and powerful, how could you abandon your company to go abroad with me? Besides... what is your relationship with me? You don't need to go to such lengths with someone like me who's in a contractual marriage."

"Let's get a divorce. Otherwise, if you come abroad with me... people will misunderstand, which isn't good." Zhou Yu said, his eyes already lowered.

That's settled then. It's about time, so let them part ways naturally.

He didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings for Mu Chenxi's "white moonlight" because of himself.

Hearing the man's words, Mu Chenxi felt a real pang in her heart. She, who never showed her emotions, frowned deeply. "Misunderstanding? You're afraid others will misunderstand?"

Who would he be afraid of misunderstanding?

Why is he so eager to get a divorce? Could it be... that he has someone he likes?

Just as Mu Chenxi was lost in thought, Zhou Yu's voice came again, "Yes, I don't like this... Besides, I already know who you like..."

Although Zhou Yu spoke very softly and hesitantly the last sentence, Mu Chenxi still heard it.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but feel a clenching in her chest.

What does he mean by this?

Has he remembered what happened between them at the hospital?

At that time, she had just injured her leg and was in terrible condition. Did he still care about what happened before?

Mu Chenxi became increasingly flustered as she thought about it. She cautiously raised her eyes, only to immediately see the man's unpleasant expression, and her heart skipped a beat.

He probably already knows.

For so long, Mu Chenxi had almost forgotten that she had such a humble and dark past. Now that this matter has been exposed again, she feels a blood-soaked pain.

Mu Chenxi's voice was a little hoarse, "You... can't accept it?"
