Chapter Eight: Divorce Already, Just After Getting Married?

Page 1/3

Unfortunately, Yuan Na grew more and more enthusiastic as she spoke: “That insignificant Huo Yunzhe is nothing! Xu Xu, you mustn’t hang yourself on just one tree! Don’t marry some crooked, rotten fruit just to get back at that scumbag!”

Crooked, rotten fruit...

Xu Xu swallowed hard, clearly sensing the half-smile with which Huo Hanshen glanced at her from beside.

Her intuition told her she had to interrupt Yuan Na.

“I’ve already registered the marriage!” Taking advantage of Yuan Na’s pause for breath, Xu Xu hurried to say, “And my husband is really handsome!”

After saying this, she cast a sidelong glance at Huo Hanshen, noticing his expression remained unchanged.

“Yeah... he’s a kind of handsome that’s ten thousand times better than Huo Yunzhe!”

Huo Hanshen’s face improved somewhat.

Xu Xu felt a little relieved.

Having appeased her “cheap husband” here, Yuan Na on the other end of the line was clearly skeptical.

“Sis, although I hate Huo Yunzhe too, that guy really isn’t bad-looking. You say your husband is ten thousand times more handsome... have you been bewitched by him?”

Xu Xu twitched at the corner of her mouth. Although she had exaggerated a bit just now, it was absolutely true that Huo Hanshen was more handsome than Huo Yunzhe!

“Na Na, why would I lie to you? If he weren’t handsome, do you think I could have registered our marriage so quickly?”

Yuan Na wanted to say more, but since Xu Xu had already registered...

“Alright, alright, I believe you! But when I come back to the country, you must bring him over for us to meet! I’ve got to approve of him for you!”

“Okay, okay, definitely!” Xu Xu quickly promised.

“Xu Xu, remember, no matter if you’re the heiress of the Xu family, no matter whose daughter you really are, you will always be my good sister!” Yuan Na’s voice choked slightly, “If anything happens, you must tell me!”

Xu Xu’s heart softened immediately. “Yes, I know.”

“If your ‘cheap husband’ treats you badly in the future, just get a divorce! Don’t be afraid, your sister will support you! I will always be your backing!”

Xu Xu’s eyes grew a little moist. Having such a friend, life was already worth it!

“Enough said. I’m going bowling! I’m going to write the names Huo Yunzhe and Xu Yaru on the pins and knock them down!”

With that, Yuan Na angrily hung up.

Xu Xu felt touched and amused at the same time.

“I won’t divorce.”

Huo Hanshen suddenly spoke, making Xu Xu pause. “What?”

“As long as you don’t regret it...” Huo Hanshen looked at Xu Xu, his eyes filled with an emotion she couldn’t understand, “Our marriage will last forever.”

...

The marital home Huo Hanshen prepared for himself and Xu Xu was a modest villa, slightly secluded but peaceful and serene.

He had an urgent matter, so after dropping off Xu Xu, he left directly.

The house must have been tidied up long ago — it was clean and warm.

“As long as you don’t regret it... our marriage will last forever.”

The words Huo Hanshen spoke in the car rang again in Xu Xu’s ears as she stood at the door, slightly dazed.

“Xu Xu, get a grip. Just take a man’s words as words.”

Xu Xu shook her head, temporarily pushing Huo Hanshen out of her mind, then dragged her suitcase upstairs.

By the time she finished unpacking, her emotions had steadied considerably.

“Beep—beep—”

Just as Xu Xu lay down to rest, her phone rang again.

This time it was her assistant calling.

Xu Xu was silent for two seconds before answering.

“Manager Xu, there’s something...” The assistant hesitated, seeming unsure how to begin.

Xu Xu’s expression was calm: “Just say it. I’m prepared.”

“President Xu called the board and said he wants to give your deputy general manager position to Xu Yaru.”

The assistant’s tone held a hint of resentment, “And today, Xu Yaru has already taken over the cooperation project you were negotiating with Sunrise Group!”

Although Xu Xu had anticipated this day, she didn’t expect that just after cancelling her wedding, Xu Jianjun would be so eager.

It was truly disheartening...

“Manager Xu, I really feel sorry for you! You personally handled this project and worked so hard—we all saw it. It’s unreasonable that just when the contract’s about to be signed, someone else snatches it away!”

The assistant was angry on the phone.

Having worked with Xu Xu for several years, the assistant knew her abilities and the contributions she made to the company, so he despised President Xu’s ungrateful betrayal.

“If I’m not mistaken, the contract signing is tomorrow, right?”

Compared to the assistant’s fury, Xu Xu was much calmer.

Probably... she was already numb.

“Yes.”

Xu Xu took a deep breath, her expression cold: “I’ll come to the company tomorrow.”

If someone wanted to steal the project she had painstakingly cultivated, she wanted to see if her teeth were hard enough to bite back!

By the time Huo Hanshen arrived at Senhe Villa District, dusk had already fallen. He glanced at the time—it was past seven in the evening.

Senhe Villas was the most luxurious residential area in Z City, with extremely strict security measures: a professional security team patrolling 24/7, supplemented by comprehensive high-tech surveillance.

Moreover, the villa district had complete facilities, and the upscale clubhouse offered various leisure and entertainment activities.

This place was not just a residence but a symbol of status.

After all... you couldn’t simply buy a house in Senhe Villas with money alone.

“Master Huo, you really are my master. We agreed on six o’clock, and look at the time now!”

Seeing Huo Hanshen step out of the car, Lin Feng, sitting in the courtyard, couldn’t help but speak sarcastically.

A table stood in the yard, laden with dishes that had been replenished several times.

Huo Hanshen raised a brow and sat down opposite Lin Feng without ceremony: “I’ll bring you a bottle of tequila next time.”

“That would be great! Missing out on a drink worth over twenty million? That’s a good deal!” Lin Feng immediately brightened up, “Master Huo, next time you stand me up again, alright? I quite like Islay whisky—double the price.”

Huo Hanshen: “...”

Lin Feng was shameless as ever.

“Enough joking. How was the wedding you attended?” Lin Feng took a sip from his glass and asked gossipingly, “The president himself came to the wedding. The Huo family must have been overwhelmed, right?”

As he spoke, Lin Feng couldn’t help but imagine the scene and burst out laughing.

Huo Hanshen: “... If you weren’t my friend, I’d seriously consider sending you to a mental hospital.”

“Oh? Would you be willing?” Lin Feng laughed heartily, then stared at Huo Hanshen with curiosity and confusion, “By the way, Huo Yunzhe isn’t even a branch of the Huo family. Why did you travel all the way here to attend his wedding?”

“Who said I came to attend the wedding?”

Huh?

Lin Feng’s expression grew even more puzzled: “You didn’t come for the wedding? Then what did you come for?”

At this, Lin Feng seemed to suddenly realize something, widening his eyes: “Could it be... you came for that matter...”

“None of that.” Huo Hanshen interrupted calmly, then stunned Lin Feng with his next words: “I came to snatch the bride.”

Lin Feng: “What?”

That sentence completely baffled Lin Feng.

Snatch the bride?

Are you kidding me?
