Chapter 4: Just A Mere Sleazy Uncle, What’s There To Be So Arrogant About!

“Divorce?”

Ye Xiao’s shocking words left Su Ruoxue dumbfounded.

She couldn’t help but begin recalling her past with Gu Tingyuan.

At first, Su Ruoxue wasn’t interested in Gu Tingyuan, and the Su family had no intention of pursuing a marriage alliance with the Gu family like the Lu and Li families did.

Su’s father and mother both respected Su Ruoxue’s wishes.

They hoped she could do what she wanted, believing that their excellent daughter could find her own happiness.

However, life is unpredictable.

The Su Corporation suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis. The capital chain was broken, and if the gap wasn’t filled, Su Ruoxue’s father, Su Chongshan, even risked imprisonment.

Su Chongshan’s rise had been magnificent, but his downfall was equally tragic.

After evaluations, all banks unanimously refused to extend loans to the Su Corporation, and former business partners shunned Su Chongshan.

When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter and when a wall collapses, everyone pushes.

In the family’s time of crisis, when her parents lowered their pride and placed their hopes on her, Su Ruoxue didn’t protest in the name of romantic freedom or reject her parents.

Su Ruoxue always took things in stride. Compared to chasing after a distant, uncertain love, family was far more important to her.

Besides, the eldest young master of the Gu family had very high standards, and he might not even look her way.

Though she once had girlish fantasies and longed for a beautiful romance.

But what she didn’t expect was that after having rejected both the Lu and Li families, Gu Tingyuan, after meeting Su Ruoxue just once, unexpectedly agreed to the Su family’s marriage proposal.

Thus, Su Ruoxue sacrificed herself for her family, turning marriage into a bargaining chip, saving the Su Corporation from the brink of collapse.

She had thought it would be a loveless political marriage, and she would spend the rest of her life as Mrs. Gu, taking care of her husband and children.

But surprisingly, the usually cold-faced Gu Tingyuan changed after they got married.

He once traveled across two cities just to bring Su Ruoxue a bowl of sweet fermented rice dumplings she wanted.

He also booked the largest billboard in Binhai on her birthday, announcing his love for her to the entire city with flowers.

He had fought for Su Ruoxue, been jealous, and even made promises to her, pledging a lifetime together.

For three years of marriage, she had always been the envy of everyone in her circle.

Divorce?

The word was too unfamiliar to Su Ruoxue.

But why would this porcelain doll with red lips and white teeth want her to get divorced?

Su Ruoxue couldn’t help but look at Ye Xiao with confusion in her eyes.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to last night, recalling the wild and provocative moments of that night.

Ye Xiao, so petite, had given her a feeling that Gu Tingyuan had never provided.

It was hard for her to connect the delicate Ye Xiao in front of her with last night… She was so experienced…

Just as she was about to say something, Su Ruoxue swallowed her words, blushed, lowered her head, and reached up to touch the red mark on her neck, which was the mark left by Ye Xiao the previous night.

Luckily, it was winter, and a high-collared sweater could perfectly hide the mark.

Afterward, Su Ruoxue took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

Seeing that Su Ruoxue had not responded for a long time, sometimes frowning, sometimes blushing, Ye Xiao pouted in frustration.

Though clearly upset, she looked like an adorable little hamster.

“Ye Xiao, I think… we should just forget about what happened last night. It’s better for both of us.”

Looking at Ye Xiao, Su Ruoxue couldn’t muster any anger. She gently stroked Ye Xiao’s smooth golden hair with her delicate hand.

After all, she was just a child, and Su Ruoxue hadn’t lost anything last night.

Besides, if not for Ye Xiao, Su Ruoxue didn’t even dare to imagine what might have happened.

“Don’t touch my head!” I won’t grow taller if you touch my head!

Ye Xiao pouted, nimbly dodging Su Ruoxue’s hand.

At that moment, a mischievous voice echoed in Su Ruoxue’s ears.

[Sister Su! Don’t get too cocky!]

[Telling you to divorce is for your own good, why don’t you understand?]

Upon hearing the voice, she furrowed her brows and looked around.

Who was speaking?

Instinctively, Su Ruoxue glanced at the little hamster in front of her. The voice sounded similar to Ye Xiao’s.

But Ye Xiao wasn’t speaking at the moment. Was she hallucinating?

“Sister Su, I know you might not believe me now, and you might even resent me, but that sleazy old uncle really isn’t a good person! He doesn’t like you at all!”

Ye Xiao’s expression was sincere, but after she finished speaking, she regretted it a little.

She was too impatient. From any angle, Su Ruoxue and Gu Tingyuan appeared to be a loving couple.

If Su Ruoxue changed her heart just because of one night, then Ye Xiao would need to reassess her view of Su Ruoxue.

“There are too many people outside. Let’s leave first. Being surrounded and watched isn’t a good thing.”

Su Ruoxue rubbed her forehead. Her mind was starting to feel chaotic.

If someone had told her earlier that Gu Tingyuan didn’t love her, she would have thought it was just jealous gossip.

But now, a voice in her heart was telling her that everything Ye Xiao said was true.

[That sleazy uncle must be blind. He has such a good wife in Sister Su, yet he still wants to get entangled with that cheap sister of mine!]

[According to those cheesy “chase-the-wife” drama tropes, by the time the truth comes out and Sister Su leaves him for good, that sleazy uncle will regret it too late. He really is the ultimate sleazy uncle! Those brain-dead abuse dramas really are brain-dead!]

When the sarcastic voice sounded again.

Su Ruoxue was completely sure now, this voice was definitely Ye Xiao’s.

Could she hear Ye Xiao’s thoughts?

Since last night, both mentally and physically, Ye Xiao had been giving Su Ruoxue one shock after another.

Quickly understanding everything, a shadow crossed Su Ruoxue’s face.

Gu Tingyuan was married to her, yet he was still pining for Ye Xiao’s sister.

So, what did this marriage, and all their past experiences, mean to her, Su Ruoxue?

Frowning, Su Ruoxue reopened the door.

Outside, Gu Tingyuan was still waiting with his bodyguards.

Seeing Su Ruoxue and Ye Xiao walk out one after the other, his half-suspended heart finally settled.

Meanwhile, the reporters in the hallway weren’t giving up, craning their necks to see if there was anyone else in the room, preferably a man. The bigger the scandal, the hotter their news would be.

“Hey, sleazy uncle! I brought Sister Su out perfectly safely. You can relax now, right?”

“Lalala ~”

The blonde little girl pressed a finger to her eyelid, stuck out her pink tongue at Gu Tingyuan, and made a silly face.

After making the face, Ye Xiao quickly shielded Su Ruoxue in front of her!

Gu Tingyuan rolled his eyes, finally reunited with his wife, and had no time to deal with the cheeky little brat.

“Just a mere sleazy uncle, what’s there to be so arrogant about!”

Seeing herself ignored, Ye Xiao seemed to forget Gu Tingyuan’s intimidating presence. With Su Ruoxue safely in front of her, her little mouth started jeering again.
