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

She was now completely focused on Zhou Yu, eager to see what he would say.

Will he say yes?

Will he still insist on divorcing her, just like before?

Mu Chenxi had absolutely no confidence and was extremely nervous.

After a long silence, Zhou Yu finally spoke, "Let's put the kidnapping aside for now. What exactly is your relationship with Yan Hao? Are you... childhood sweethearts...?"

"no!"

Mu Chenxi had a terrible headache. Where did he hear all this from?!

Could it be what Yan Hao told her that day?

Was it because of this incident that he misunderstood, and that's why he took the initiative to file for divorce?

No, the timing doesn't match.

He clearly initiated the divorce proceedings, citing the reason that he was going abroad to take the WBA exam, and only then did he meet with Yan Hao.

“That’s not how it is. When I was little, Yan Hao’s family was my neighbor. Later, a fire broke out in his house. Yan Hao rushed into the fire to save me and was injured as a result. I only felt guilty and grateful towards him.”

Faced with the woman's flustered explanation, Zhou Yu simply listened quietly without interrupting.

However, Mu Chenxi did not stop talking and continued, "I absolutely have no other intentions! He has been receiving treatment in other places for so many years. Although his physical injuries have almost healed, he has severe depression. Occasionally when he comes back, I will take him to the hospital in Yuncheng for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu paused for a second, and after a long while, he hesitated before saying, "So, last time you were with him at the hospital, it was just to accompany him for treatment?"

"Last time at the hospital..."

Mu Chenxi's face paled. "So you found out. Is it because you saw this scene that you proposed a divorce?"

"Answer me first," Zhou Yu said.

"Yes! I was just there to accompany him during his treatment. His depression relapsed, and he was threatening to jump off a building. He insisted on seeing me, and if I didn't go, he would commit suicide... I had no choice but to rush over." Mu Chenxi became more and more uncertain as she spoke, and her beautiful face gradually lowered.

Yes, she was wrong too.

Knowing she had a husband, she still lied to him and spent time with other men outside the marriage.

Let alone Zhou Yu being angry and wanting a divorce, if she saw Zhou Yu with another woman, even if he hadn't done anything, she would probably be furious.

Zhou Yu: "Okay."

Since we're going to clear up the misunderstandings today, let's do it all at once, so these things don't become knots in our hearts later.

Zhou Yu wasn't one to mince words, so he nodded immediately and continued, "Since you don't have those feelings for your white moonlight, why are you still keeping her portrait?"

"He's not my white moonlight, you are! Whether in the past or now, I've only ever loved you!" Mu Chenxi immediately exploded.

In the silent ward, the woman's low growl seemed to still echo.

After calming down, the two stared at each other, realizing they had been too emotional. Mu Chenxi then shut her mouth and sat further into the bed, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

Zhou Yu moved his Adam's apple, easily catching the key point in her words, "What do you mean? Did we know each other before?"

Mu Chenxi: "..."

Oops, I let it slip.

After talking so much, Zhou Yu had mostly resolved his inner conflict and wasn't as angry anymore. However, he still couldn't leave things unsaid. "Speak up. If I find out you're hiding anything from me again, I can't guarantee when we'll say goodbye."

Faced with the boy's pressure, Mu Chenxi hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "It happened a long time ago. I had just injured my leg and booked an entire floor of the inpatient department for myself. At that time... you probably came to the wrong place and asked for directions on my floor. Seeing that I was not in good condition, you comforted me and told me to be strong."

With a slightly bewildered look in Zhou Yu's eyes, Mu Chenxi looked at him earnestly, "It was that time that your energy and gentleness touched me, and I have always wanted to thank you."

"But after I sent someone to investigate, I found out that you were determined to marry Xu Xinran at the time, so I didn't bother you. I was thinking of giving you a big gift when you got married, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen when you got married, and coincidentally you chose me, so I just went with the flow and didn't refuse."

Zhou Yu, clutching his head, interrupted, "Wait! I think I vaguely remember. I went to the hospital to visit a friend... and then I met a cold-faced girl who was really difficult to get along with and didn't give me any face at all... So, that disheveled girl back then, was it you?!"

My God, that disheveled and dejected person is actually the famous Mu Chenxi!

She actually had a dark period in her life.

As Zhou Yu thought about it, he seemed to realize something and suddenly widened his eyes. "So, the reason you were willing to cooperate with me in a fake marriage wasn't because you were kind and generous, but because you had your eye on me from the beginning. It just so happened that I chose you at the time, so you took the opportunity to agree to it, and even played the victim by saying that your family was pressuring you to get married, just to fool me into getting a marriage certificate with you?!"

When this matter was brought up, Mu Chenxi showed no shame at being exposed; instead, she nodded with pride, "Yes, you could say that."

Zhou Yu: "..."

It's really true!!!

It took Zhou Yu a while to calm down. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, one last question. Since you don't like Yan Hao, why did you secretly hide his portrait in the study?"

Mu Chenxi frowned deeply. "This is impossible!"

Seeing that she still refused to confess, Zhou Yu's face turned cold. "You still dare to deny it? I saw it with my own eyes. There was a painting of Yan Hao in your bookshelf. It was of his back, and Yan Hao's surname was marked in pinyin in the lower right corner. It looks like you've been hiding it for many years! You keep saying you like me, but in the end, you're just using the life-saving grace to forget other young men!"

Mu Chenxi was stunned for a long time before she suddenly smiled with relief, and her jealous gaze towards Zhou Yu was now tinged with a touch of tender affection.

"You're laughing? You dare to laugh?!"

Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, the woman suddenly leaned in and hugged him, her voice gentle as she whispered in his ear, "Silly boy, that painting clearly depicts you..."

"..."

At night, the hospital was quiet and deserted.

The hottest days of summer have passed, and the ward still feels faintly cool at night.

In the suite, Mu Chenxi lay on the hospital bed in the master bedroom, unable to fall asleep.

She insisted on sleeping with Zhou Yu before bed, but Zhou Yu refused firmly, afraid of touching her wound.

She was very unhappy about this.

As night deepened, Zhou Yu lay on the sofa in the living room, covered with a thin blanket, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

A noise came from somewhere, and Zhou Yu suddenly woke up with a start.
