Xi Wan replied, “Gao Yuan had always been very interested in desserts in the past. I had a chat with her when we met. Although she has been a rich lady in the Wang family all these years, she has also learned how to make desserts. She will definitely be able to do this job well.”
The System asked: [Even so, will Wang Hang and the Wang family agree to it?]
“Dont you know about the plot?” Xi Wan asked calmly, “Dont you know that
Wang Hang and Gao Yuan have already signed the divorce agreement?”
1…] It really didnt know. The system quickly went to check the plot. Wang Hang and Gao Yuan had indeed signed a marriage agreement.
The system shouted: [How is this possible? It’s only been a day but Gao Yuan is so powerful? Would Wang Hang have signed the divorce agreement willingly?]
It remembered the last time it saw someone else sign a divorce agreement. It was Xi Wan’s father and stepmother. The scene could only be described as a complete mess.
After Gao Yuan agreed to come to work, Xi Wan closed her phone in satisfaction and replied, “Why not? All the Wang family cares about is their reputation. Gao Yuan has the surveillance video of the mall that day and there are many netizens who uploaded the video on the internet. The Wang family didnt want things to blow up and affect the company for the sake of the hard-earned stock price increase, so they naturally agreed to the divorce.”
The system was about to say something when Xi Wan’s cell phone rang. The caller was Ling Feng, who had just left.
Xi Wan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him and directly tapped on the speaker, “Wanwan, you…”
The bodyguard saw Xi Wan’s unhappy expression and immediately asked,
“Madam, do you need me to help you hang up? i
As the hands-free mode was turned on, the bodyguard’s words were heard by Ling Feng on the other end of the phone.
Xi Wan did not say anything, but Ling Feng seemed to suddenly understand something. “Wanwan, Su Xun’s control over you has actually reached such a serious level. He’s restricting your personal freedom. This is illegal!’
It was not that Wanwan didnt want to see him, but because Su Xun had sent people to watch her closely, so she rejected his invitation several times!
It had to be said that Ling Feng was quite self-aware as a male protagonist. He could imagine so much without anyone saying anything.
However, it was also thanks to his overconfidence that Xi Wan saved a lot of time thinking of excuses.
The system also realized that the male protagonist seemed to be too fond of imagining things. Now, it really hoped that the male protagonist would wake up a little.
Xi Wan shook her head at the bodyguard, then quietly listened to Ling Feng.
Since there was no such thing as Su Xun buying a dessert shop in the original plot, Ling Feng couldn not guess Su Xun’s true intention at the moment. He could only analyze Su Xun’s motives based on the situation.
Ling Feng said to Xi Wan, “Su Xun must have investigated the past between you and me, otherwise it doesnt make sense that he would suddenly be so strict with you.”
The marriage life that Xi Wan and Su Xun mentioned at the Tang family’s birthday banquet was completely opposite.
It made sense once one thought about it. Su Xun was deliberately pretending in front of outsiders.
Ling Feng’s cheat system showed that Su Xun only married Xi Wan because he had to obey his grandfather’s wishes.
Since he had followed his grandfather’s wishes and married a woman he didnt love, then it was even more impossible for Su Xun to show that he and Xi Wan weren’t on good terms in front of others. This was to prevent the rumors of him and Xi Wan not getting along from spreading to his grandfather’s ears and making him sad.
Ling Feng clenched his teeth. “Su Xun is simply too much. He knows that the shop is filled with memories of you and me, but he still did this.”
Ling Feng paused and said, “I’m sorry, Wanwana It’s all my fault for not thinking of buying this shop in advance. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been Su Xun’s!’
Xi Wan nodded. Yes, yes, but who would have thought that Su Xun would buy this shop? Besides, most people wouldnt have such thoughts, right?
Xi Wan gathered her emotions and said in a low voice, “It’s not your fault. You’ve always been one step late all these years. I’m already used to it.”
Ling Feng’s entire body froze on the other end of the line. After a long time, he said, “Wanwan, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldnt have…”
Xi Wan rolled her eyes without hesitation. She and Ling Feng both knew that Ling Feng had countless opportunities to confirm their relationship.
If the two of them had already confirmed their relationship, then even if Su
Xun’s grandfather mentioned the betrothal between the Su family and the Xi family, the Su family, as a prestigious family, would probably be too embarrased to do something like snatching Xi Wan from Ling Feng when their relationship was already set in stone..
