"I can't say it's unfair; I've already gotten used to it." In that household, apart from Madam Jiang and Ma Xuxu, everyone else probably wished she didn't exist.
Her presence was never welcomed, and she had nothing to complain about; she simply didn't measure up to them.
"Since you can't stay, then get a divorce sooner. I'll help you retrieve the shares of Wind Dust Group."
"But I signed an Agreement with Jiang Chengmu..."
"What Agreement?" He frowned slightly, raising his gaze to look at her, and his expression instantly darkened.
"If we stay married for a year, he will return the shares of Wind Dust Group to me. I don't want to trouble you anymore, so..."
His dark eyes suddenly turned cold. Mu Tongzi mockingly curled his lips, his deep voice cutting through the already chilly air, "You don't want to trouble me, so you signed such an Agreement with Jiang Chengmu? Darling, don't forget whose woman you are now!"
"..." How could she not be aware? But this was the only way that wouldn't trouble him or offend Jiang Chengmu. She had already compromised enough; what more did he want from her?
She was just an ordinary woman; how could she compete with them?
"Is it that you've stayed by Jiang Chengmu's side for too long and don't want to leave?" Mu Tongzi's grip on the spoon tightened suddenly, and his gaze turned icy, sending chills down Green Qi's spine.
"It's not that... I'm just worried that retrieving the shares from Jiang Chengmu will take a lot of effort. Rather than dragging you into it, I'd rather solve it myself. If something really happens, you can still retreat unscathed."
"From what you're saying, it seems you're considering me?" With a light laugh, Mu Tongzi slowly set down the spoon in his hand, his expression inscrutable.
She nodded slightly, yet she did not realize that her consideration appeared to him as a lack of trust.
"You've never believed in me, have you? If you trusted me, how could you ignore my words? I, Mu Tongzi, have never gone back on my word. Why is it that when it comes to you, my words suddenly hold no credibility?"
"I do believe in you!" As soon as she heard him misinterpret her meaning, she couldn't help but explain, "You've already made all the preparations for the Meihai Resort project. I don't want any mistakes to occur before that; I don't want to be a burden or trouble for you, even though I'm always troubling you..."
The more she spoke, the less courage she had. She was very aware that what she was doing undoubtedly hurt his male pride.
He quietly looked at her and after a long while let out a slight sigh. Clearly, he should be the one feeling wronged, yet she seemed more aggrieved than he was.
But he couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her and didn't know why he felt inclined to let her off so easily.
"But in the end, you just don't trust me!"
"I don't! It's precisely because I trust you that I hope you'll focus your energy on more important matters. After all, there's only half a year left. Who knows, Jiang Chengmu might get tired of me and decide to divorce me early."
As for what Jiang Chengmu had said in the car earlier, she chose to pretend he hadn't said anything. No matter what, she would never believe that Jiang Chengmu liked her!
She was no longer at an age to daydream; how could a scenario that only appeared in romance novels possibly happen to her?
"You underestimate Jiang Chengmu!" As a man himself, Jiang Chengmu's thoughts were not hard to guess. If he didn't care, this marriage would have ended long ago.
"What do you mean?" She blinked in confusion.
"Nothing much, you have signed the Agreement, so let's talk again in half a year!"
Perhaps, after half a year, the one who has grown tired of her will be him.
