Xia Qingcheng dressed up carefully and came to Jiang Xiyan's company again. She was carrying an exquisite thermos box in her hand with a gentle smile on her face. She walked into Jiang Xiyan's office and said softly, "Honey, you've worked hard. Are you tired? This is the soup I made myself. Come and try it!"

However, Jiang Xiyan just glanced at her coldly and replied in a cold tone: "Take it away, I don't need it." The things that Xia Qingcheng had done before emerged in his mind, and a strong feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart. He was in no mood to have any more entanglement with her.

Xia Qingcheng pouted her lips slightly and said in a coquettish tone: "Don't be so harsh! Look, I spent a long time making the soup for you, and my hands are all burned red!" After saying that, she stretched out her hand and showed Jiang Xiyan the faint red mark on her hand.

However, Jiang Xiyan glanced at her indifferently, unmoved at all, and responded coldly: "What does this have to do with me?" His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze into ice. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xia Qingcheng expressionlessly, as if she was just an insignificant stranger.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Xia Qingcheng's eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle look and said softly, "After all, we are husband and wife now. It's really sad that you are so cold..." There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in her tone.

Jiang Xiyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule, and said in a cold voice: "Husband and wife? Humph, this is just a status you got by using despicable means. I tell you, I will never have any feelings for you." His voice was icy and piercing, as if it could penetrate a person's soul, and it contained undisguised disgust.

Xia Qingcheng bit her lips tightly, holding back tears, and whispered, "I've put the soup here, you can drink it or not." Her voice was trembling, but she tried to stay calm. After saying this, she turned around and left resolutely, not looking at Jiang Xiyan again.

Jiang Xiyan didn't even look up at the bowl of soup. Instead, he picked up the documents on the table and said coldly while flipping through them: "Don't do these unnecessary things in the future. I don't want to see you, and I don't want to have anything to do with you." His tone was cold and ruthless, as if he completely regarded Xia Qingcheng as a stranger.

Xia Qingcheng stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Jiang Xiyan with a firm gaze, and said: "I said, that's just your wishful thinking. There is only Jingyan in my heart. You'd better have some self-knowledge and stay away from me!" There was a hint of determination in her voice, which moved people.

However, facing Xia Qingcheng's rejection, Jiang Xiyan did not back down at all. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said coldly: "Oh? Really? Then let's wait and see who will have the last laugh." His tone was full of provocation, as if he was declaring war on Xia Qingcheng.

Xia Qingcheng raised her head stubbornly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, and said, "I won't." There was a hint of unyielding in her voice, and it was obvious that she did not intend to give up her pursuit of Jiang Xiyan easily.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes flashed, and the aura around him became increasingly cold. He stared at Xia Qingcheng closely and said through gritted teeth, "Then you give it a try. I have plenty of ways to make you back down. Don't force me to do anything that you'll regret." There was a hint of warning in his voice, which made people shudder.

Xia Qingcheng raised her chin and said proudly: "Back off when faced with difficulties? I'm afraid you're overthinking it. Now that I have you, I won't regret what I have done." Her eyes revealed a kind of determination and firmness, which moved people.

Jiang Xiyan was furious when he heard this, and shouted, "You are challenging my bottom line!" His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if it would burst out at any time. He slammed the documents in his hand on the table, and then strode forward, each step was filled with strong anger, as if to shatter the entire room.

Xia Qingcheng was not intimidated by his aura, but raised her head and looked at him fearlessly. Her eyes were shining with determination and perseverance, which made people feel excited.

Jiang Xiyan walked in front of Xia Qingcheng and stopped. There was less than half a meter between them. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing straight at Xia Qingcheng. Xia Qingcheng felt an invisible pressure coming at her, but she still did not retreat, but straightened her body and met his gaze.

Jiang Xiyan's tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he said coldly: "Oh, do you think you can threaten me with such words? You overestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are nothing." His words were as sharp as a knife, piercing Xia Qingcheng's heart. However, Xia Qingcheng was not shaken by this. Her expression remained firm, and she answered without hesitation: "It doesn't matter. What matters is that you are my husband!"

Jiang Xiyan's forehead veins throbbed, he suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "I said, this is just a nominal identity, you'd better stop it!"

Xia Qingcheng raised her lips slightly and said, "It's just in name only. Jiang Xiyan, go out to the mall and take a look. The video of our wedding is still playing on the screens. Our relatives and friends have verified it, we have received the marriage certificate, and we even had a wedding night. How can it be just in name only?"

Jiang Xiyan clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands, his face terribly gloomy, and said, "So what? None of this can change my feelings about you. You are just a despicable woman."

Xia Qingcheng said nonchalantly: "If you don't have any feelings, then you don't have any feelings. It's enough that I have feelings for you!"

Jiang Xiyan laughed in anger, his eyes were like sharp blades, as if he wanted to cut Xia Qingcheng into pieces, and said: "How ridiculous, your feelings are worthless to me, stop daydreaming."

Xia Qingcheng said stubbornly: "I insist on being obsessed. Even if my feelings are worthless, that's my business."

Jiang Xiyan snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "It's up to you. But you'd better remember, no matter what you do, don't expect me to have even the slightest affection for you."

Xia Qingcheng said: "So what if there is no feeling? There are policies from the top and strategies from the bottom." After saying that, she didn't want to pay any more attention to Jiang Xiyan and left the president's office without looking back.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Xia Qingcheng's departing back, his face terribly gloomy, and secretly swore in his heart: I will never let you succeed, one day, I will make you regret everything you did today.

Xia Qingcheng met her father and business partners at Yuhui Empire. She smiled and greeted them and chatted happily. When she walked out of the company building, she saw Jiang Xiyan and Shen Jingyan arguing with each other. Her face turned ugly in an instant, and she walked over quickly and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xiyan pulled Shen Jingyan behind him, looked at Xia Qingcheng with cold eyes, and said, "What does this have to do with you?" He turned to look at Shen Jingyan, and his voice instantly became gentle, "Jingyan, are you okay?"

Xia Qingcheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She said, "Jiang Xiyan, we've only been married for two days, are you so impatient to cheat on me?"

Jiang Xiyan sneered, his eyes full of mockery, and said, "Cheating? You overestimate yourself. It's not your turn to interfere in what's going on between Jingyan and me."

After hearing this, Xia Qingcheng's anger was instantly ignited. She stood up suddenly, pointed at the man's nose and cursed loudly: "Cheating men are really shameless! They have no sense of responsibility at all!" Her voice was full of anger and disappointment, which made people around her look sideways.

Shen Jingyan looked at the angry woman in front of him, and couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew he had done something wrong, but he couldn't face Xia Qingcheng's accusations. He lowered his head silently, not daring to look her in the eye.

Xia Qingcheng glared at Shen Jingyan, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. Then she turned around and strode out of their sight.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Xia Qingcheng's departing back, and his disgust in his heart became even stronger. He turned around, looked at Shen Jingyan tenderly, and said, "Jingyan, I'm sorry for making you suffer. I won't let that woman hurt you again."

"Xi Yan, after all, she is your wife now. Is it really okay for us to do this?" Shen Jingyan frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and asked softly.

She knew very well that although she and Jiang Xiyan had deep feelings for each other, he was married after all. In this situation, their intimate actions seemed a little inappropriate.

Jiang Xiyan frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the question. He said in a low voice, "I have nothing to do with her." His tone was firm, as if he wanted to convey his true thoughts to Shen Jingyan.

Then, he gently reached out and tucked Shen Jingyan's scattered hair behind her ears, his movements were gentle and delicate, and his eyes were full of affection. "Jingyan, believe me." He said softly, hoping to let Shen Jingyan put down her worries.

Shen Jingyan felt Jiang Xiyan's care and felt a little relieved. However, she was still confused and uneasy about their current situation. Although Jiang Xiyan said that he had nothing to do with his wife, the fact of the marriage could not be changed.

"But... you are legally bound after all." Shen Jingyan couldn't help but voice out her concerns. She knew that no matter how deep their feelings were, reality was always there and could not be avoided.

Jiang Xiyan heard Shen Jingyan's worry, and he held her hand tightly, trying to give her more comfort. "I will solve this problem, Jingyan. Believe me, it's just a matter of time." He promised, with a firm light in his eyes.
