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

I listened to Gu Mengmeng's words, but I still decided to go with Jiang Yuwei.

Gu Mengmeng didn't stop me anymore. Her eyes were red and burning, and her beautiful face was full of loneliness and loss, as well as the obvious pain of being abandoned by me.

I didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, nor did Jiang Yuwei.

It wasn't until we were on our way fishing that Jiang Yuwei casually asked me, "Aren't you curious why I didn't give you money?"

As I munched on my bread roll, I said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you go bankrupt? Where are you going to get the money for me?"

Jiang Yuwei: "..."

She glanced at Secretary Li, who was driving.

Secretary Li remained calm and composed, showing no remorse for her mistakes or words. She even joked, "I never expected you to care so much for President Jiang now. Before, when President Jiang was wealthy, it was rare to see you showing such concern for her."

Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but glance at me a few more times, as if she really wanted to find some pity in my expression.

I replied, "It's not a matter of feeling sorry for you or not, I'm just telling the truth. Besides, you've already paid my medical bills and provided me with food and lodging. My expenses have been considerable these past few days, and you still want to give me money? There's no need for us to go to such lengths."

"Besides, I'm the one who bankrupted your company, so how could I possibly ask you for money?"

The key point is, we are already divorced.

I have no reason to spend her money anymore; the current situation is only out of necessity.

Jiang Yuwei fell silent, her beautiful, fair face revealing no emotion.

She remained silent for a long time.

Secretary Li seemed surprised that I had severed ties with Jiang Yuwei to this extent. She stole a few glances at Jiang Yuwei's expression in the rearview mirror, swallowed hard, and dared not say anything more.

Upon arriving at my destination, I grabbed my fishing rod and rushed out, waiting for a big fish to bite.

Jiang Yuwei moved a little slower. She flipped through her wallet, looking at the various unlimited black cards, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.

Seeing this, Secretary Li cautiously said, "President Jiang, are you trying to give Mr. Jiang money? But these cards have no spending limit. If Mr. Jiang really uses the cards, it will expose that you are not bankrupt."

Jiang Yuwei glanced at her sideways and said in a cool tone, "Who told you to tell him I'm bankrupt?"

She was very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

She didn't give him money before because she wanted to control his finances. Only by cutting off his source of income could she keep him under her control.

He's not giving him money now purely to cover up the lie, and Gu Mengmeng has caught him red-handed, making it seem as if she's mistreated him.

Secretary Li smiled ingratiatingly: "I understand President Jiang's concerns. Aren't you afraid that your husband will misunderstand you as stingy? Or that he will look down on you because he thinks you are too poor or not well-off? Actually, it's okay. With your husband's personality, he doesn't care whether you are rich or poor."

"Besides, being poor has its advantages. Didn't Gu Mengmeng gain the master's sympathy and pity by being poor and weak?"

"You've always been strong-willed, so who would care about you? Haven't you noticed that since you went bankrupt, your husband has paid much more attention to you? Even when Gu Mengmeng came to snatch him away, he chose you without hesitation!"

"This shows that the gentleman is susceptible to this kind of thing, whether he had amnesia or not!"

Jiang Yuwei's brows furrowed even more: "Are you sure?"

Secretary Li nodded earnestly with a serious look in his eyes.

"But he still rejected me."

"That's because Mr. is slow to warm up. Didn't he also reject Gu Mengmeng? This has never happened before."

Jiang Yuwei seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "I have never been poor."

"..." Secretary Li wanted to punch her boss, but she still smiled and said, "If you insist on spending money on the gentleman, 10,000 a month is enough."

Jiang Yuwei held out her hand: "I don't have a card with such a low credit limit. Do you have one?"

Secretary Li gritted her teeth and began rummaging through her wallet.

Jiang Yuwei changed her mind again: "Isn't 10,000 too little? Do you have a limit of 100,000?"

Secretary Li: “…”

She suppressed the urge to resign and handed Jiang Yuwei a card with a credit limit of 100,000 yuan.

Jiang Yuwei was finally satisfied. She tossed out a message that her salary would be doubled, then strode off towards the sea, fishing rod in hand.

I was sitting on the shore waiting for Jiang Yuwei. When she came over, I quickly stood up and said, "Have you finished talking with Secretary Li? The captain just said that we can't catch any fish on the shore. We have to go out of the boat to the fishing spot to fish or catch fish."

Jiang Yuwei responded and led me onto the ship.

When they were surrounded by the sea, she handed them a card and said softly, "There's a limit of 100,000 on this card. Buy whatever you want. If you need more, just ask me."

I looked at her in shock: "You suddenly became rich?"

Just now in the car, she was clearly still a poor wretch.

“I told you, I’m not that poor.” Jiang Yuwei pursed her lips and stared at me intently. “Consider this money as the threshold for me to pursue you. I’ll give you 100,000 yuan every month.”

I blinked. "He's going to spend 100,000 yuan to pursue me?"

For the first time, I doubted whether my decision to divorce was the right one.

She's so wealthy, she still has so much money even after going bankrupt. How could I have been so heartless as to give up such a cash cow?

However, I still pushed her card back: "No need. Didn't you say you'd have money once I regained my identity? There's no need to use your money. Besides, we're divorced. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving you money again."

Jiang Yuwei remained silent for a few seconds with a cold face, then suddenly curled the corners of her lips and said in a low voice, "If you don't accept me, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

"..."

Forget it, Jiang Yuwei never tries to be gentle with me; her desire for control is simply astonishing.

Fortunately, they forced me to accept the money, which is acceptable.

I accepted the card, and my mood instantly brightened.

Who doesn't like money? I'm quite "vulgar," and if someone insists on giving me money when I'm destitute, I'll definitely accept it.

Jiang Yuwei and I spent the whole morning fishing.

Sunlight streams in, a cool breeze brushes against our hair, and occasionally we catch a small fish, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

On the way back, a sudden downpour occurred, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Jiang Yuwei was unable to contact Secretary Li, so she took me directly to a quiet guesthouse to take shelter from the rain.

Since we didn't have a chance to sell the fish we caught, we simply borrowed the kitchen of the guesthouse to cook it.

I was supposed to do it, but Jiang Yuwei didn't let me get involved.

I felt a little embarrassed, but also a little excited, since Jiang Yuwei is a great cook and her fish dishes would definitely be delicious.

Sure enough, after taking the first bite, I was filled with satisfaction, my eyes sparkling as I praised her, "Delicious! I love it so much!"

Jiang Yuwei leaned back in her chair, her tall figure completely supported by her thin lips, which were slightly upturned.

She turned on the TV in the room.

Jiang Yuwei seems to never eat while watching TV, but I like it. If I have a phone, I watch it on my phone; if I don't have a phone, I watch it on a big-screen TV, which makes eating even more enjoyable.

The TV was showing melodramatic and clichéd romance dramas, and I, a grown man, was completely powerless against them.

I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't notice the woman beside me staring at me with deep, unfocused eyes.

She ate her meal attentively, enjoying the warmth of the moment, and was in a good mood, her lips almost never drooping.

The room was filled with warmth, but it was shattered when the main character of the TV series embarked on a tragic journey.

In the drama, the male lead is seriously ill and begs his wife to stay, but she refuses. After receiving a phone call, she runs to see the male supporting character in the rain.

The male protagonist, pale-faced, stood by the window watching his wife's departing figure, and gave a desolate smile: "Gu Beiyue, if I can never keep you... then I will abandon you."

My heart clenched suddenly, and a tearing pain surged up. This wasn't the pain from being tormented by the plot, but a genuine empathy, as if I had experienced these things myself.

Just then, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head, and fragmented images kept flashing through my mind, as if trying to break free from some kind of constraint.

I grabbed Jiang Yuwei's hand, and with my other hand I pounded my head, crying out in pain, "Jiang Yuwei, my head hurts so much, and my heart hurts so much... I'm in so much pain..."
