Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Let’s Get Divorced_1
 

Although he said that, Ye Xiong had no confidence at all in his heart.

With the Third-Generation Gene Warrior’s transformation, he was already struggling to cope. The Green-Eyed Monster in front of him was very likely a Second-Generation Warrior. If it transformed, Ye Xiong truly had no confidence at all.

Unless Ye Xiong also transformed himself.

The problem was, although Ye Xiong guessed he was also a Gene Warrior, and even a more advanced First-Generation one, he had no idea if he could transform, or what side effects a transformation might bring.

Ultimately the Green-Eyed Monster did not insert the syringe into Ye Xiong but put it away instead.

“You seemed so eager to get rid of us, what’s the matter? Are you afraid of the side effects after transforming or, perhaps, you have a time limit on your transformation? You can’t be sure whether you can kill me within the time of the transformation, can you?” Ye Xiong sneered coldly.

Last time, Ye Xiong inadvertently triggered his body’s potential, turning his eyes into bloody pupils. That pain from the side effects nearly made him faint. So, he conjectured that Gene Warriors would definitely suffer from side effects post-transformation and, quite possibly, there was also a time limit. Otherwise, why hadn’t the Green-Eyed Monster taken the opportunity to kill him during their encounters?

“It seems, that you’re quite fond of the widow inside the house,” the Green-Eyed Monster suddenly changed the topic.

“That’s none of your business.”

“If I remember correctly, you’re already married, your wife being the president of Xinyi Group. Don’t you feel ashamed as a married man to be hooking up with a widow?” the Green-Eyed Monster asked.

“That’s my skill, and it’s none of your concern,” Ye Xiong felt a bit puzzled by his attitude. It seemed as if he had some interest in Du Yuehua. Could it be that this neither-human-nor-ghost creature had set his sights on Du Yuehua?

“I’m quite fond of messing with young widows myself,” the Green-Eyed Monster said with a sinister laugh, then leaped onto the wall. “Tomorrow night, I’ll be having my way with either your wife or Du Yuehua. Think about which woman you want to protect!”

With that, he laughed heartily and vanished into the night.

Ye Xiong jumped onto the wall, intending to pursue, but the vast night had already swallowed the Green-Eyed Monster’s figure.

Returning to the villa, Ye Xiong climbed up the water pipes, and in a moment, he reached Du Yuehua’s floor, somersaulting into the balcony and then dialed Du Yuehua’s number.

The security door opened, and Du Yuehua pulled him inside like a thief.

Ye Xiong walked to the bedside and lay down without saying a word.

“What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Du Yuehua asked, sounding puzzled.

This guy had changed. In the past, he would have been all over her the moment he walked in, desperate like a monkey. But now, it was as if he had changed his nature.

“Nothing’s wrong,” Ye Xiong gave her a smile and asked, “Where’s Youyou?”

“She played all day and has been asleep for a while,” Du Yuehua said, seeing Ye Xiong lie motionless on the bed, she began to worry. “Has something happened? Your behavior is making me anxious.”

Ye Xiong definitely wouldn’t tell her about encountering the Green-Eyed Monster; it would only cause her worry.

“Just thinking about some things.”

“Thinking about what?”

“About how I should ‘conquer’ you later on.”

“You’re awful, absolutely shameless,” Du Yuehua chided him coyly.

What followed was inevitably a round of wild intimacy, but Ye Xiong’s mind was continually shadowed by the thought that the Green-Eyed Monster was spying on them, leaving him unsettled and lacking passion.

If not for wanting to satisfy Du Yuehua, he would have left long ago.

A man can’t only consider his own pleasure sometimes.

After Du Yuehua reached the peak a few times, Ye Xiong left and hurriedly drove home.

Once home, seeing Yang Xinyi in her pajamas reading on the couch, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had been truly afraid something might have happened to her.

“Wife, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

“I’m getting ready for bed,” Yang Xinyi responded casually.

Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes revealed a look of great dissatisfaction.

Because in her nose, she smelled a scent that wasn’t Ye Xiong’s—it was the scent of another woman.

Without a doubt, this guy had just come back from Du Yuehua’s place.

Although she had long known that the relationship between Ye Xiong and Du Yuehua was not simple, probably having crossed the boundary of friendship, being confronted with it still made her very uncomfortable.

Even, she felt a sour ache in her heart.

“Ye Xiong, we need to talk,” Yang Xinyi put her book down, played with her bangs lightly, and said, “Let’s go get our divorce certificate tomorrow!”

In the past, Ye Xiong would have definitely refused because he couldn’t bear to let go.

Having lived with Yang Xinyi for a while, he had begun to feel at home, and his heart had already formed an indescribable and unexplainable connection with this woman.

But today, after dining with Youyou and becoming intimate with Du Yuehua, he felt that continuing this way was very unfair, both to Du Yuehua and Yang Xinyi.

Since he had already decided to marry Du Yuehua, why keep clinging to Yang Xinyi?

Divorcing Yang Xinyi would mean that whatever happened to him in the future wouldn’t drag her down.

“You pick a time,” said Ye Xiong.

“Then let’s make it nine o’clock tomorrow. I’m a bit tired, I’m going to head off first.”

Yang Xinyi stood up, and the moment she turned around, tears escaped her eyes.

She didn’t dare turn back or wipe them away with her hand until she reached her own room upstairs and leaned against the door, slowly sliding down.

Tears blurred her vision.

“Yang Xinyi, oh Yang Xinyi, this is just a transaction, why be so persistent? Since he doesn’t like you, why torment yourself like this?”

Yang Xinyi wiped away her tears and walked over to the bed to lie down.

But she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned; her mind was filled with that bastard’s shadow and memories of the past.

Although it was shameful and despicable to admit, he had etched himself into her heart.

The thought of him leaving her tomorrow made her heart ache in waves.

Ye Xiong went back to his room, took a shower, and lay in bed, also unable to sleep.

His mind was quite complicated too. He really wanted to maintain the current situation, but the fact was, Yang Xinyi was determined to divorce him, and it made no sense for him to insist on staying.

Besides, he was truly afraid that the Green-Eyed Monster would harm Yang Xinyi.

The next morning, when Ye Xiong came downstairs, Yang Xinyi was already sitting at the table eating breakfast.

The breakfast was very rich, possibly the most sumptuous one since Ye Xiong had moved into the villa.

Could this be their last breakfast?

Ye Xiong’s mouth twitched, and he sat down opposite Yang Xinyi, eating breakfast on his own.

When he unintentionally lifted his head and caught a glimpse of Yang Xinyi, he was startled.

Her eyes were red and slightly swollen, as if she had cried or hadn’t slept well all night.

“Wife, maybe we shouldn’t get a divorce just yet,” Ye Xiong tentatively asked.
