The Whole World Wants Them to Get a Divorce - Chapter 21.1

Si Yu seemed to understand what Chen Yan said, but she found it unbelievable.

The people outside the dance studio just now were indeed Lu Xi and Chen Yan. Lu Xi was there to watch them. She saw her and a group of young, handsome men being very intimate, got jealous, and then left in a huff?!!!

Was it because her “seduction” that morning had finally sparked something?

Si Yu was so excited that she almost jumped up and down. She grabbed Chen Yan’s hand and said seriously, “You have a great eye. I really want to give you a raise, but unfortunately, I’m not your boss. I’ll definitely treat you to a meal another day.”

While Chen Yan was in a daze, Si Yu bent her finger and tapped on the door three times. The knocks were rapid and light, like musical notes that represented her current mood.

She couldn’t wait to see what Lu Xi looked like when she was jealous!

“Come in,” a cold and indifferent voice said.

Chen Yan didn’t forget to remind her again, “Be careful.”

She was just jealous. Was that so scary?

Si Yu gave Chen Yan a grateful smile, pushed open the heavy frosted glass door, and swayed her hips as she walked in.

In the brief moment the door opened and closed, she had already thought of all kinds of opening lines for Lu Xi.

“Aren’t you going to hang out with your young, handsome men? Why are you here?”

“You seemed to be having a lot of fun with the handsome young men. What’s wrong? You’re getting old and want to go for a younger man?”

“We’re not divorced yet, and you dare to hug and hold hands with so many young, handsome men behind my back. Woman, I’m warning you, you’re playing with fire!”

“You’re mine. You’re not allowed to look at other men!”

Thinking of the last one, Si Yu got goosebumps all over. She shivered, held her head high, and strode inside.

Bring it on. Let the jealousy come on stronger!

Her feet made no sound on the soft wool carpet. She didn’t disturb the person busy in front of the computer at all.

Si Yu looked up and saw the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The sun’s warmth and brightness were filtered by the thick glass, leaving behind a clear and bright view of the towering city buildings outside.

Her gaze followed the sunlight and landed on the person working diligently.

Lu Xi sat in the office chair with a cold expression. Her slender, beautiful hands, which all women envied, were typing on the keyboard. Her long, lush eyelashes fluttered like a fan. She was focused on the computer, like a soulless work machine.

The ridiculous opening lines she had imagined never came. Forget questioning her, Lu Xi didn’t even look at her!

Was she holding it in?

Given Lu Xi’s personality, she didn’t seem like the kind of person who would say those lines. She was probably the reserved type.

Si Yu quietly took a few steps closer and stared at her face without a hint of shame.

Her pale face was expressionless, as cold and stoic as ever. Where was the weirdness? Where was the gloominess?

Si Yu had never been in a relationship, but she knew that a person who was jealous wouldn’t be this calm.

She felt like she had been tricked.

“Cough.” Si Yu, who had been completely ignored, cleared her throat to get her attention.

Lu Xi’s eyelashes fluttered. She lifted her eyes and gave her a lazy glance. Her voice was devoid of any emotion. “What’s wrong?”

What’s wrong? Shouldn’t you be asking about me and the handsome young men first?

She wasn’t going to bring it up, so Si Yu did. “Did you go to the dance studio just now?”

“Yeah.”

“Did you see me?”

“Yeah.”

“Did you see the handsome young men?”

“Yeah.” Lu Xi still seemed composed. She didn’t show any sign of frustration or impatience.

Si Yu was not convinced. She came up with an idea, covered her face, and said in a flustered voice, “They’re so handsome! The youngest is only seventeen! They’re so full of youth and energy. They call me ‘sister’ so sweetly my legs feel weak. Oh my god, they’re so cute! This is what they call a ‘little wolfdog’! Dating them must be amazing!”

“Are you done?” Lu Xi said with a nonchalant tone.

Si Yu choked. The more theatrical things she had prepared were stuck in her throat.

She had said so much, and Lu Xi was still unmoved. Her face showed no sign of weakness!

She wasn’t jealous at all!

Si Yu felt so let down. Her expression changed. She said dryly, “I’m done.”

Lu Xi’s lips curved slightly. She said cooly, “If you’ve taken a liking to any of them, you can just say it. I’ll make it happen for you.”

Si Yu couldn’t follow her line of thinking. “How would you do that?”

Lu Xi tapped a few keys on her keyboard, clicked the mouse, and sent the email. She then closed her laptop and looked at her. “Tomorrow, you and I will go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to get a divorce certificate. After that, you can have as many handsome young men as you want.”

Si Yu’s heart skipped a beat. She no longer cared about whether she was jealous or not. She said righteously, “Handsome young men are just eye candy. I still prefer mature, steady, and successful older women, like you.”

Sorry, little handsome men. This big sister has to abandon her principles to save her life.

Lu Xi let out a cynical laugh.

Si Yu scrambled to get behind her. She said with a fawning smile, “You must be tired after a long day of work. Do you want me to give you a shoulder massage?”

She didn’t wait for Lu Xi’s answer. She rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

Lu Xi’s shoulders were thin and slender, and her frame was straight and easy to massage. Si Yu put her hands on her shoulders.

“Hiss!” Lu Xi felt like her bones were about to be crushed. She turned her head and glared at her silently.

“I’m not even using any force,” Si Yu said with an innocent expression. “I learned this technique from the caregiver who comes to massage my grandma every day. It’s very professional. He said that if it hurts, it means you have severe muscle strain. Ms. Lu, I know you’re busy, but you have to balance work and rest. Don’t always sit still. You should get up and stretch or dance.”

While she was talking, Si Yu massaged her shoulders and neck a few more times. The force was about the same as before, but the pain was more obvious. Lu Xi almost couldn’t hold back a scream and glared at her again.

Si Yu blinked and said sincerely, “It’ll feel better later. Just bear with it.”

Lu Xi: “…”

Maybe it was a placebo effect, but after the pain subsided, the muscles in her shoulders and neck felt less tense.

Lu Xi slowly relaxed. She looked at her reflection in the computer screen. “Why are you here?” she asked.

Si Yu suddenly remembered her purpose. “Grandma wants us to go back for dinner,” she said.

Lu Xi glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of her computer. She hummed in response.

Ding-dong.

The phone on her desk rang. Lu Xi picked it up and unlocked it.

Si Yu subconsciously looked away. But she accidentally saw her open WeChat. She saw her tapping her fingers, seemingly replying to a message. She said on a whim, “I didn’t want to come up here, but you blocked all my contact information, so I didn’t know how to tell you.”

Lu Xi’s typing stopped.

If she hadn’t reminded her, Lu Xi wouldn’t have remembered that she had blocked her.

As for why she blocked her, it was all because Si Yu was so dramatic.

That time, Si Yu made a small cut on her wrist with a razor blade and put ketchup on it. She took a picture and sent it to her. Lu Xi was having dinner with a few investors at the time. When she saw the picture, she really thought she was committing suicide. She left the dinner table and rushed back. When she found out she had been tricked, she was so angry that she blocked her on WeChat and her phone. She didn’t go back to that house for a whole week.

It had been more than a month since then.

A month ago, Lu Xi felt a physical aversion to Si Yu’s face. She wanted to divorce this drama queen immediately.

But now, Si Yu was massaging her, and her palm was against her skin. She didn’t feel disgusted at all.

Lu Xi didn’t understand why things had changed. It was the same reason she didn’t understand why she felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw Si Yu and those handsome young men touching each other without any boundaries.

That’s why she left without going in to say hello.

The busy work quickly calmed her down.

Si Yu didn’t know what she was thinking. Seeing her silence, she thought she had said something wrong and made her unhappy by reminding her of the villainess’s past actions. She quickly changed the subject. “Is it almost time to get off work? I’m actually curious, do you have to clock in and out?”

Lu Xi’s wandering thoughts were brought back by her question. She looked at her like she was an idiot. “Have you ever seen a company boss who has to clock in and out?”

Si Yu gave a dry laugh. She finally managed to change the topic.

It was my fault. I shouldn’t have brought up that topic.

Si Yu shook her aching hands. She smiled casually. “Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. You should get back to work.”

Lu Xi’s shirt collar was turned up. Si Yu helped her straighten it.

She noticed that the strap of her black bra seemed to be crooked. She didn’t know if she had messed it up while massaging her. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder made her uncomfortable. Si Yu didn’t think twice. She pinched the strap through the fabric, pulled it, and straightened it. She smiled with satisfaction.

But when she let go, there was a light “snap.”

Si Yu froze.

Lu Xi’s back stiffened. She slowly turned her head and looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.

Si Yu was immediately embarrassed. She didn’t want her to misunderstand that she was flirting. She spread her hands and smiled innocently. “This is actually a little game.”

Lu Xi pursed her lips. Although she didn’t say anything, her eyes seemed to say, I’d like to see how you explain this.

Si Yu said nervously, “You just snap it. In high school, my deskmate and I would often snap each other’s bra straps. Didn’t you play that with your deskmate?”

Lu Xi looked at her with an unreadable expression for a few seconds. She seemed to be trying to figure out if her words were true. After a long time, her thin lips parted. She said mockingly, “I didn’t have such a perverted deskmate.”

Si Yu: “…”

As the boss, Lu Xi not only didn’t have to clock in and out, but she could also leave whenever she wanted.

To avoid making the old woman wait too long, Lu Xi called Chen Yan in at 5:30 to give her some instructions. She then said to Si Yu, who was sitting on the side playing with her phone, “Let’s go. We’re going home.”

Home?

Hearing the intriguing word, Chen Yan, who was organizing the documents on Lu Xi’s desk, suddenly looked up and gave Si Yu a meaningful look.

Si Yu felt her gaze but didn’t react.

When they got to the underground parking lot, Si Yu looked around and, seeing that no one was there, said, “Your assistant seems very smart.”

Lu Xi focused on walking. Her high heels made a rhythmic sound on the floor. She said nonchalantly, “She’s a top student from a prestigious university in the United States.”

Anyone who could be the assistant to the CEO of the biggest entertainment company in the country had to be very capable. Si Yu wasn’t curious about Chen Yan’s education. She just felt that Chen Yan was close to figuring out her and Lu Xi’s relationship
