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

Jiang Yuwei has fair and smooth skin, long legs, a slim waist, and a large bust.

In my past life, I was indeed deeply in love with her, until my death.

I looked at Xu Yikang and said frankly, "Everyone has their youthful and impetuous moments. Now that she has another man, it's not appropriate to force her."

Xu Yikang exclaimed in shock, "What? That bitch actually cheated on me!"

I explained, "She had someone else in her heart before marriage, so it doesn't count as betrayal during the marriage."

I just found out too late, and as far as I know, she shouldn't have cheated on me in the two years of our marriage. Her dream man also had someone else in his heart. Although she was insistent, she knew some boundaries. As for the third year, the conflict between us intensified, and I also got sick, so I don't know what happened.

Xu Yikang's face turned red with anger. "That's even more despicable. She has someone she likes and still wants to marry you, but after marrying you, she becomes someone else's backup. She deserves what she got."

I:"……"

He suddenly realized something, “She wasn’t exactly a saint either, unlike you, at least you’re devoted to relationships.”

I smiled slightly and gently bumped his shoulder. "You're absolutely right. From now on, I will let go of everyone and every relationship except for the people I care about."

Those who don't love me will eventually leave, while those who love me will always stay by my side and even take the initiative to get closer to me. I will only protect what I want to protect, and let the rest go.

Xu Yikang sighed, "That's for the best. But speaking of which, is this really the only reason you got divorced? Were there any other reasons?"

I casually replied that I no longer liked her, and Xu Yikang exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa!" "Do you think I should believe you, or believe that I won ten million in the lottery today?"

I smiled helplessly, but it was indeed the truth.

"I can't say I've completely let go, after all, I once loved her deeply, but I won't be moved by her again."

"You've only known each other for a few years? What do you mean by 'deeply in love for many years'?" Xu Yikang bluntly exposed me. I was slightly taken aback and couldn't reply. He didn't press further, but just sighed.

"Never mind, it's a good thing that you're willing to leave Jiang Yuwei. I've been trying to persuade you for so long."

"There are millions of women in the world, and which one isn't better than a scumbag? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere."

"You're naturally good-looking, from a good family, and a good person. So many women have fallen for you. Why do you have such bad taste? You don't choose good women, you only pick the leftovers that other women don't want."

After saying that, he changed the subject: "What are your plans after the divorce?"

I thought about it and decided, "I'll find a job, build a career, and live a good life."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yikang immediately smiled knowingly.

"You've finally figured it out; you should have started building your career a long time ago."

"Back then, your grades were always among the best in the class, leaving me far behind. The teachers all said that you would definitely become the elite of the elite in the future."

"But you just have to hang yourself on that rotten tree, Jiang Yuwei, burying your own talents. It's infuriating... Never mind that, I happen to know someone who's recruiting you for your skills. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see him."

"Okay." I quickly agreed. I didn't want Jiang Yuwei's money, and of course, she might not be willing to give it to me anyway. Once we got divorced, my income would stop, so finding a job quickly to resume my income was the most important thing.

Xu Yikang and I talked for a long time, but we had to stop talking because we had to meet with our business partners the next day. Before we went back to our rooms, Xu Yikang suddenly asked, "Ye Qiu, are you still in contact with Gu Mengmeng?"

Upon hearing this, my eyes suddenly trembled, and my heart felt as if something was blocking it, causing me great discomfort.

Gu Mengmeng, that name is so distant from me now...

Xu Yikang sighed and patted my shoulder, "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have married Jiang Yuwei, and you wouldn't be so unhappy. If she knew you were getting a divorce..."

Xu Yikang didn't say anything more after that, and I didn't continue the conversation either, remaining silent.

Soon, Xu Yikang realized he had touched a sore spot, so he quickly changed the subject, left the room, and went back to his room to sleep.

I went back to my room, but I couldn't sleep until dawn. I finally managed to doze off for a while, but was suddenly woken up by a phone ringing.

I suppressed my frustration and answered the phone without even looking at it. "What idiot is calling in the middle of the night?!"

On the other end of the phone came Jiang Yuwei's anxious voice, which, if listened to carefully, sounded like she was about to cry.

"Ye Qiu, where are you?"

Jiang Yuwei?

My muddled mind cleared up a bit, and when I opened my eyes, I saw it was 5:30 in the morning, and I immediately got angry.

"Jiang Yuwei, are you out of your mind? What do you want from me so early in the morning?"

She was silent for a moment, then her voice was low, "I dreamt that you were hurting yourself, and I also dreamt that you died, and died a terrible death."

My fist hardened. "Are you always thinking about me dying, that's why you're having these weird dreams? Besides, if I really died, would calling me do any good? Would calling me save me?"

In my past life, I was undergoing surgery in a hospital, and I did need to call her to find her and handle my funeral arrangements.

But now that I'm alive and well, her words seem ridiculous.

Jiang Yuwei seemed to find it absurd as well, and didn't pursue the matter further with me.

"Where are all the medicines kept at home? And where do you boil water?"

Ha, you bitch, you want to use me as a free babysitter again.

I'm starting to suspect that what she just said about having a dream was fake, and that she really just wanted me to find something.

I ignored her and was about to hang up, but Jiang Yuwei whispered coquettishly, "Ye Qiu, I have a bit of a stomachache."

My brow furrowed suddenly. Her voice did tremble, and I instinctively felt worried about her.

"The medicine is in the second drawer of the TV cabinet in the living room, and the kettle is in the kitchen cabinet. Take two pills at a time, don't take more."

"Okay." Jiang Yuwei obediently agreed, followed by the sounds of people going downstairs and rummaging through things.

But then I suddenly realized what was going on and immediately slapped my mouth twice. What did this have to do with me?

"Jiang Yuwei, we're about to get a divorce. Let's draw a line from today onwards. From now on, don't tell me anything about this anymore. Also, you disturbed my sleep tonight, so you have to compensate me for emotional distress!"

Upon hearing this, a sneer came from the other end of the phone, the tone arrogant.

"Compensate you?"

I scoffed, "Of course, from the time I married you until now, you've been reaping the benefits while I've been losing money."

"I wasted the best years of my youth on you, shouldn't you compensate me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei became even more sarcastic: "What youth do you, a grown man, have? I think you're just obsessed with money."

I proudly said, "Yeah, I only care about money. I only like money. Money is much better than you. What do you have? A bunch of bad habits. You're picky about food and people and you're a clean freak. Oh, and you can't even have children. Tsk tsk."

In my past life, I worked tirelessly as a full-time househusband, but what did I get in the end? I lost everything, both my money and my partner.

In this lifetime, at least you must have some wealth.

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Ye Qiu!"

She was clearly about to say something sarcastic again, so I hung up without hesitation, closed my eyes, and went to sleep. But before I could even put my phone down, Jiang Yuwei called again.

I hung up again without hesitation, and it felt so good.

In my past life, she was always the one who hung up on me; I never imagined there would be a time when I would hang up on her.

In this lifetime, I will no longer have to carefully maintain my marital relationship with her, afraid that she will be disgusted, afraid that she will dislike me, afraid that she will get tired of me.

From now on, I will no longer be a simp; I will just be myself and a happy person...
