After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

I pondered to myself, but my face remained indifferent.

“You make me feel like there are two completely different people living inside me. Before, you always kept an insurmountable distance from me, so cold that it chilled me to the bone. But now that we’ve come to this point, you’ve started interfering in my life.”

"Chen Yiran holds a special place in your heart. With him around, I'll always be the loser. If you're unwilling to divorce because you like him more, that's clearly not the case. I dare to guess, you've gotten used to having me by your side, used to me working like a beast of burden for the past year, doing your laundry and cooking for you every day. Now that I'm suddenly leaving, you feel empty inside, so you don't want a divorce, right?"

Jiang Yuwei looked at me, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but her tone remained cold: "What you're saying is kind of right, isn't it?"

My heart skipped a beat; I never expected her to admit it so directly.

I stared at her intently, my eyes wide: "You can't live without me? You've gotten used to my presence?"

Jiang Yuwei's beautiful face was covered with frost, and her red lips were pressed into a straight line: "You seem very smug?"

"Haha." I clenched my fists tightly and couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears streamed down my face.

I'm so proud! How could I not be? Even if she just hasn't had enough of my cooking yet, or is just reluctant to let me, her "nanny," go, that's enough to make me laugh out loud.

After all, after being reborn, I never thought I'd have a chance to get some small revenge on Jiang Yuwei. But fortunes really do change. In my past life I suffered terribly; in this life, I'll make her taste the same bitterness.

Recalling my past life, when Jiang Yuwei first mentioned divorce to me, she simply said, "I can't go on like this anymore," without mentioning Chen Yiran. But I already guessed in my heart that she might already have someone else. Even so, I still refused to let go, tears falling like beads from a broken string, humbled to the point of dust, begging her.

“Yuwei, I can’t get a divorce, I really can’t get a divorce. We’ve been married for so many years, you’ve taken up my whole life, and I’ve long been used to having you in my life.”

“I know I’m terrible. I have a bad temper, no career, and I always upset you. Especially about Gu Mengmeng… But she’s my friend. I… I promise I’ll stay far away from her from now on, never have any contact with her again, and avoid her if we meet, okay? Please, don’t say things like that. I’m really scared.”

At that time, she just looked at me coldly, without any expression on her face.

I was afraid she would be disgusted by my tears, and even more afraid she would think I looked too weak, so I forced a smile and tried to hold her hand.

"Yuwei, you really like my cooking, right? I'll study recipes more diligently from now on. You have a sensitive stomach, so I'll have to take care of you. Or, do you have any other preferences? As long as we don't leave each other, anything is fine, okay?"

At that moment, Jiang Yuwei's beautiful face instantly darkened, and her eyes were filled with disgust as she glared at me. She pried my hands off hers one by one, her tone cold and harsh.

"Ye Qiu, habits can be changed, and love can change too. Everyone can live without anyone else. Your cooking is indeed good, but you get tired of it after a while. People need to change their tastes to live a comfortable life. Your only advantage is that you are docile. Hurry up and sign the divorce papers. Don't be like others who cling on and on. If you piss me off, you'll suffer."

I still remember her words from my past life.

Those were words that tormented me for years, like poison, and a warning I must never turn back from in this life.

You can let go of love and hate, but you must never forget them.

I finished laughing, straightened my back, and looked down at Jiang Yuwei. My posture was the same as in my previous life, and the people and things were the same too. The difference was that in this life, I was looking at her with cold and disgusted eyes, and my tone was full of annoyance.

"Jiang Yuwei, habits can change, and love can change too, especially since you've never loved anyone in the first place. Everyone can live without anyone else in this world. You're rich and beautiful, but I can earn money, and I get tired of seeing your face. I need to change my taste, have some more rich men to play with, and see more different beauties to live a comfortable life. Your only advantage is your wealth and power. Just sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. There's no point in dragging this on; it will only make me hate you more, and even—make me regret ever knowing you."

The last sentence was actually what Jiang Yuwei said to me in my past life.

After that incident, when my heart was breaking, she spoke with red eyes and a cold tone, stabbing me deeply in the heart.

"Ye Qiu, I truly regret meeting you and marrying you."

I was in unbearable pain at the time, but now that I think about it, things will work themselves out.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yuwei's face was extremely ugly, with veins bulging on her forehead. She suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me in front of her, but then sneered, "You'll start to regret meeting me if I don't divorce you?"

Looking at her face, I suddenly laughed, and a strange sense of pleasure welled up inside me.

"What, you can back out, but I can't?"

A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, and my smile deepened.

I knew perfectly well what was troubling her at that moment. After all, Jiang Yuwei and I hadn't reached that point yet; these words were a "legacy" she left me from her past life.

I projected all the resentment and bitterness from my past life onto her in this life, which might seem like I was bullying her, but what can I do when I'm reborn? How can I keep these emotions bottled up forever? In the end, it's because she suddenly refused to get a divorce; otherwise, she wouldn't have had a chance to hear these words at all.

Besides, if she doesn't care about me and still treats me like a stranger like in our past life, I can't hurt her at all. I might even become her laughing stock—a joke about "Mr. Useless trying to awaken."

I glanced down at the time, my tone light and teasing, "Jiang Yuwei, aren't you going abroad in a couple of days? Take this time to think things over. I've prepared a big gift for you. Once you see it, we can continue talking about the divorce."

In my past life, I was utterly humiliated at my father's birthday party, while she happily went abroad to forcibly take her young lover. Judging by the timeline, her flight should be tomorrow or the day after.

Jiang Yuwei's eyes narrowed sharply. "How did you know I was going abroad? Did you investigate me?"

I scoffed. "You? Are you even worth investigating? Your Chen Yiran is still lying in the hospital. You'd risk your life for him, what wouldn't you do?"

She went there to seize it by force. Of course, I wouldn't think of her as too innocent. After all, we've been married for years, how could I not know what kind of person Jiang Yuwei is?

Before she brought up divorce with me, she probably hadn't had a physical relationship with Chen Yiran yet. Given her conservative nature, I find it hard to believe she had. Besides, once a person has tasted the forbidden fruit, the desire is hard to hide. She used to always try to seduce me into bed, and when I wasn't willing, she would use all sorts of temptations and coercion to get intimate with me.

As for how she treated Chen Yiran a few years ago, whether Chen Yiran yielded, and how he yielded, I have no idea. But I can't possibly think too purely of her; how could I? Unless she didn't care about Chen Yiran at all.

Her eyes darkened, and a half-smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Since you know me so well, then you should think carefully about how to move back tomorrow. Don't force me to make a big fuss. After all, I'm the kind of woman who would risk her life for another man."
