Yuan Shu heard the question but did not answer and turned away.

Jiang Chen had never thought about the answer to this question, but he had been holding it in for too long, so he wanted to ask. This was a question that would always exist between the two of them, a question that could never be explained in words.

Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she went out. She had already thought about divorcing Shi Xiao, but she didn't want to give Jiang Chen any hope.

When Yuan Shu came out of the teahouse, she saw a row of cars parked at the door, blocking her way.

After the car in front stopped, Zhao Cheng got out of the driver's seat, walked to the back and opened the door, and Shi Xiao also got out of the car and stood in front of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu asked, "Why are you here?"

Shi Xiao smiled and replied, "I'm here to pick up my wife."

Yuan Shu looked at this scene, and then saw the row of cars behind her, and cursed in her heart, these people didn't look like they were here to pick her up, but rather like they were here to kidnap her.

However, Shi Xiao was a little surprised that Yuan Shu came out of the teahouse so quickly. He thought Jiang Chen and Yuan Shu would chat for a long time.

He was also mentally prepared. No matter whether Yuan Shu wanted to stay or Jiang Chen refused to let Yuan Shu go, he would bring Yuan Shu back no matter what today. But after he came here, he didn't expect things to be so calm. He was even a little late. What was going on?

Yuan Shu glanced at the row of cars behind Shi Xiao and said, "Let them go back. I have something to talk to you about."

Shi Xiao glanced at Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Cheng pointed to the car in the back row. Then, they left the teahouse in an orderly manner.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but admire Shi Xiao's ability to train his subordinates. If this skill existed in ancient times, he would have been able to become a general.

Yuan Shu hadn't eaten properly these days because she was worried. It was dinner time, so she picked a delicious Chinese restaurant and had Hunan cuisine, which was spicy and delicious.

After looking at the menu, Yuan Shu ordered a table full of dishes, including fried eggs with vinegar, stir-fried beef, and duck feet. None of the dishes was not spicy.

Shi Xiao couldn't help but say, "I haven't seen you eat spicy food since I came back. I thought you liked light food."

Yuan Shu handed the menu to Shi Xiao and asked him to order. After Shi Xiao took a look, he asked the waiter to take the menu away.

Yuan Shu replied: "I seldom eat spicy food. A light diet is good for the body, but I suddenly want to try other dishes."

Yuan Shu actually likes spicy food very much, but that was her preference when she was in the military camp.

She doesn't like bland food and finds eating a painful experience. When she was in the military camp, she liked to eat barbecue, sprinkle chili cumin and pepper powder on the meat, and drink wine, which was very enjoyable.

However, the main reason why Yuan Shu doesn't eat spicy food is that palace rules do not allow it.

Yuan Shu found that he had been bound by this rule for too long, and it was rare for him to indulge himself like today.

She hadn't eaten spicy food for many years, and Yuan Shu found that her tolerance for spicy food had not decreased. At least she found the Hunan cuisine in front of her acceptable. Shi Xiao ate very little, perhaps because it was too spicy and not to his taste, and he often drank water. Even though it was spicy for him, he tried not to show it.

Yuan Shu rarely saw Shi Xiao not putting on airs, and was amused by him. He couldn't help but say, "You can't eat spicy food, let's order something else."

Shi Xiao frowned and said, "No need."

Yuan Shu felt that Shi Xiao was too stubborn.

Shi Xiao changed the subject, "You said you had something to tell me, what is it?"

Yuan Shu put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and started talking about business.

"You should also be aware of the recent comments about me online."

Shi Xiao nodded slightly. Yuan Shu was taken away from the filming site by the Finance Bureau. Before Shi Xiao and Jiang Chen had time to suppress the news, it had already spread online. Netizens were discussing it, "This is the true nature of capitalists. What's the point of being pretty? Isn't money the most important thing in the end?"

Yuan Shu's reputation was damaged.

However, with Yuan Shu's personality, she should not mind these discussions. What's the point of discussing this matter with Shi Xiao so seriously today?

Shi Xiao had some guesses in his mind, but Yuan Shu quickly answered his doubts, "Actually, this is a very good opportunity."

Shi Xiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, "What opportunity?"

Yuan Shu said: "This is a good opportunity to announce our divorce to the public."

"I don't agree." Shi Xiao rejected the idea almost instantly.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Shu, asking, "Do you really want to divorce me? Is it because of Jiang Chen?"

Yuan Shu wondered, "Why does it have to be someone else? I was planning to wait until the time was right, break up as if we were not compatible, and then announce the divorce. Wasn't this planned long ago?"

Shi Xiao sat upright, not looking at Yuan Shu, and just said, "I think there is no need to end our cooperation, especially in your current situation. Divorce will only bring you more trouble and inconvenience."

"Your software company is in a critical situation now, and the TV series cannot be filmed. As for Yushu Buyi, although the new product has just been launched, Lingxia Garment Factory has already set its sights on you. You still need my help, and I also need your cooperation."

Shi Xiao didn't want to show that he cared too much, so he added: "So I don't think it's appropriate for our relationship to end now. Let's wait until these problems are resolved."

Shi Xiao emphasized the last few words.

Yuan Shu said: "I know your concerns, but now my reputation has been damaged, which will affect the stock price of Shi Group. Now is the opportunity to spread the news that we are not on good terms."

Shi Xiao looked at Yuan Shu, wondering what she was thinking.

However, Yuan Shu's expression was very calm, without any emotion in her eyes. This made Shi Xiao unable to understand why she said such words today. Perhaps, it was because of Jiang Chen.

Shi Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused. With Jiang Chen's personality, how could he let Yuan Shu leave so easily? Could it be that the two of them had already reached an agreement, so Yuan Shu wanted to take the opportunity to leave? In this way, everything made sense, and it was no wonder that she wanted to sever the relationship at this time.

Yuan Shu's brows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to care so much about me. It's not good for me to leave the Shi family at this time. However, I made this decision after careful consideration."

Shi Xiao asked: "What do you mean?"

Yuan Shu said seriously: "Don't you think that too many things have happened recently, as if there is an invisible hand manipulating behind the scenes? These things are not only aimed at the Shi Group, but also at me..."
