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

My phone kept ringing. I glanced at it and saw that they were all calls from Jiang Yuwei. There were at least ten missed calls.

I chuckled inwardly; answering the phone at this moment was practically walking into the line of fire.

I rushed to the company, where the office was bustling with activity. But as soon as I entered, the atmosphere froze. Everyone looked grim and returned to their seats.

I walked into the office as if nothing had happened.

As soon as Meng Ziyin saw me, she stood up immediately, her eyes sparkling. She looked me up and down for a while and asked with concern, "Brother Ye Qiu, you didn't come this morning, are you alright?"

I sat down, turned on my computer, and said, "It's nothing, just a minor issue that delayed things. Let's get started."

Meng Ziyin stared at me, her delicate face filled with worry. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye Qiu, your lips seem swollen. Is it an allergic reaction? Chen Yiran told me that some people with cheilitis experience this."

Sigh, I knew it, Jiang Yuwei would hold this grudge against me again.

I smiled at her and said, "It's not cheilitis. I just ate a super spicy bowl of snail rice noodles for lunch, and my lips are a little swollen. It's really nothing, don't worry."

Meng Ziyin visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her clear eyes filled with smiles.

"It's alright, it's alright. Let me tell you about the work progress."

"Row."

My job is quite stable. Once a new game project is confirmed, I can start designing the characters.

Although I was a stay-at-home husband in my previous life, I always kept an eye on the fashion world and was familiar with the latest trends, so the initial plan was quickly finalized.

My direct supervisor is Li Ningsu. I knocked on her door with the proposal in hand. Actually, I could have just sent an email, but I wanted to ask her about my uncle, the doctor.

Li Ningsu sat leisurely in her office, her eyes fixed on the computer screen. "Come in."

I walked in with the documents in my hand. "Mr. Li, I have a proposal I'd like to report to you."

"Oh, brother-in-law's here," Li Ningsu's face instantly blossomed into a seductive smile, her peach blossom eyes gazing at me tenderly. Suddenly, her smile faltered. "Brother-in-law, did someone kiss your lips so hard they're swollen?"

After saying that, she chuckled again, "It's Sister Jiang, right? I knew she was no pushover. She's usually quiet, but when she does something, it's amazing. You can't spoil her like this; you have to tell her to take it easy."

Suddenly, there was a loud "snap"!

I threw the documents in my hand onto Li Ningsu's desk, stood there, and stared at her with a forced smile.

"Are you done?"

Li Ningsu immediately became obedient, her malicious smile disappeared, and she seriously picked up my proposal and looked at it, muttering to herself.

"Brother-in-law, you're much fiercer than before."

I remained expressionless, my gaze unchanged, and I didn't say a word.

In the past, or perhaps in my previous life, I revolved around Jiang Yuwei all day long, living a life where I lost myself more and more. Obedient, sensible, cowardly, incompetent, and boring—these words almost defined my previous marriage.

Fierce, temperamental, and argumentative—these words would never describe me. But now, I live as I please, feeling incredibly comfortable and happy. And I've noticed that because I've become a bit more ruthless, there's less malice around me.

Even Li Ningsu, who always disliked me in my past life and thought I was not good enough for Jiang Yuwei, doesn't dare to look down on me or despise me now, does she?

I'm quite satisfied with myself now.

After reading the proposal, Li Ningsu twirled her pen and drew circles on it, grinning from ear to ear.

"The characters they designed all have the shadow of Japanese anime. Only your brother-in-law's can combine with our country's traditions. You are truly amazing. This will definitely attract a large number of players to play this game."

The way she looked at me was like she was seeing a treasure; even her devilishly handsome face softened a little.

"Sister Jiang is really hopeless. She treats gold like scrap metal. She even bullies such a good husband. I really feel sorry for her. Brother-in-law, don't worry, once she finds out... finds out how capable you are, she'll definitely regret it!"

Whether Jiang Yuwei regrets it or not, I don't care.

I narrowed my eyes and stared at Li Ningsu. "Don't tell her that you saw me at the company. If you breach the contract again, I'll move on to another place."

Upon hearing this, Li Ningsu's face immediately fell. "No way, brother-in-law, you're just as important as Sister Jiang. I have business dealings with Sister Jiang, especially in the gaming industry, where we're closely linked. She's a major shareholder in the company."

"She'll definitely come to the company and find you there. How about this? I won't bring it up. If she asks, you can answer the question yourself, okay?"

I don't really know much about Jiang Yuwei's business. I didn't expect her to be involved in the gaming industry. She just goes wherever there's money to be made.

"Okay, then, is that the plan?"

"No problem." Li Ningsu readily agreed. I looked up at her, my tone softening slightly, "Li Ningsu, how's it going with finding a doctor for my uncle?"

Li Ningsu's eyes flickered. "We're looking, and we've already made contact. We should get a response soon. A good doctor takes time to choose, so brother-in-law, you'll have to wait a little longer. But, aren't you really going to tell Sister Jiang?"

"You two went through that last night... shouldn't your relationship be a bit better now? It's normal for couples to have arguments in bed and then make up before they get out of bed. Sister Jiang might be a bit sharp-tongued and might have unintentionally hurt you, but she's actually a good woman and very responsible. If you ask her for a doctor, she can find one for you tonight. Why don't you two talk it over?"

I was immediately displeased when I heard that, so I glared at her, and she immediately backed down, saying, "Okay, okay, we won't communicate anymore."

I took the proposal back and was about to leave when Li Ningsu suddenly pressed down on my file, looked up at me, and her dark eyes became more serious.

"Brother-in-law, can I ask you what your attitude is towards Sister Jiang right now?"

"I don't know why, but the last few times I've seen you, I feel that you treat Sister Jiang differently than before."

I was quite surprised and looked at her.

Many people think I've changed. Apart from a few close friends, I didn't expect Li Ningsu to care about my current attitude towards Jiang Yuwei.

I pulled the file back and asked, puzzled, "Why are you so concerned about my relationship with Jiang Yuwei?"

Li Ningsu's eyes dimmed, but she chuckled and said, "Sister Jiang is still my sister, so brother-in-law, just say something. If you don't like Sister Jiang anymore, divorce her, then I can pursue you."

I chuckled and said, "You really are a 'good sister'."

"Thank you for the compliment. So, brother-in-law, what are you really thinking?"

Although Li Ningsu used to seem a bit frivolous, she was quite sensible. Now, her persistent pestering clearly indicates that she wants to know the truth.

I spoke my true feelings calmly.

"I will never like Jiang Yuwei again, and I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. I hope that I will never see her again in this lifetime."
