FIVE YEARS AGO...Just like any other day, I prepared many delicious meals and set the table. I knew that Xin was going to come home today.I wanted to surprise him. Maybe his attitude toward me would change.My heart began beating so fast when I heard him drive into the parking lot. Despite his cold nature and his indifference towards me, I still wanted to make him happy.I still hoped that one day he would change and treat me as the wife I was supposed to be.I rushed over to him when he walked into the house, a sweet smile on my face. I wanted to use all of my charm to win him over today.“Xin, I prepared your favorite dishes. Would you like to try?“ I asked. Of course, I would prepare the food every two days.Xin only returned home once in two days. And he only ate my food whenever he chose to. However, I had never given up trying to please him.He was the man I loved—the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was willing to go to any lengths for him.And just like I ha

…Ewan Xin stood in place and looked at the departing figure of Isabel. His expression turned into a frown, but he did not expose any of his feelings.He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. And he only turned around when Skye stopped beside him.“What was she doing here?“ She asked, her tone a little sad. “Didn't you say you divorced her?““I gave her the divorce papers,” Xin replied coldly and turned around. “I have to go now.“"Um." Skye hurriedly held his hand. “Didn't you promise to keep me company the whole evening? You can't go back on your words.“Xin hesitated as he looked in a certain direction. Then he sighed and held her hand. “It's fine. I will keep you company.“…When I went back to the house, my eyes were blinded with tears. But I did not want to waste any more time.I signed the divorce papers that were on the desk in the living room and packed just a few of my things. I could not stay where I was not wanted.I dragged my small suitcase out of the house. But it hur

I felt frozen in place. I did not know why I felt scared of him for no reason.While I was abroad, I had tried thinking of the possibilities of us meeting again, but I had never thought that I would feel scared of him.“Are you thinking of hiding from me?“ He asked, bringing me back to my senses. I forced a smile and shook my head.“Why would I think of hiding? I didn't do anything wrong,” I said. I was feeling confused. I hadn't wronged him; why did I feel like hiding away from him?“Are you sure? Where have you been all these years?“ Xin asked and took a step towards me.Scared, I shook my head and hurriedly took a seat. “I came here to talk about work. I am shocked that you own the company,” I said.I realized just how bad I didn't know him in the past. All I knew was that he would leave for work. I didn't know that he was the owner of YX Corporation.Xin sighed and went back to his seat. Today, he didn't have that cold expression that he always wore in the past. But he wasn't warm

Xin looked at me briefly before bending down to Little Lion's level. “Do you want me to take care of your mommy?“ He asked.“Yes!“ Little Lion almost shouted. “You look rich and powerful. You are the ideal person I have always had in mind.“Xin nodded and looked at me again. I didn't know why I felt like his look was full of ridicule. “Okay! I will do it. But can you answer one question for me?“ He asked.I felt confused. I did not understand why he wanted to ask Little Lion a question. But I hoped that it would not be anything out of reason.Little Lion nodded hurriedly. “What do you want to know? My mommy is not married. She does not have a boyfriend, either. There is only…”“Little Lion!“ I shouted and took a step forward. He would keep on embarrassing me if I let him continue talking to that man.“Your age,” Xin said, throwing me a look. “Can you tell me your birth date?“I froze in place, my heart beating so fast against my chest. How could he think of asking that question?Could

“Who else? Are you trying to deny it? Everyone saw you!“ Skye said loudly, making everyone else turn and look at me.Apart from being confused, I felt annoyed. Was she just trying to frame me so that I would look careless in front of Xin?“I saw you push it,” the girl seated next to Skye said, and I creased my brows more. It looked like I didn't have just one enemy in the office.I would have thought that I had actually knocked down the laptop unknowingly if they hadn't insisted that much.I smiled and looked at Skye. “I didn't do it,” I said. Who cared about her position in the company?“You…” Skye said, her lips quivering. “The laptop belongs to President Xin. It contains all the important information about the business deal he is supposed to close tomorrow. We are going to be dead!“.I shivered a little. I personally knew the kind of animal Xin could be. But I did not understand why they were blaming me for all that.“What's the commotion about?“ Someone spoke from the door, and we
