My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Don’t Force Me to Take Action
 

Jian Jing saw me eat a piece of chocolate and became inexplicably elated, waving her hand in front of me, “Have you been bewitched?”

“No, certainly not!”

“Then why do you look like that just from eating chocolate?”

Jian Jing folded her arms and looked me up and down.

“It was given to me by Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Are you so sure?”

“Besides him, no one knows I like this kind of chocolate.”

“But he’s gone now, how could he send you chocolate! I bet it was his friend who delivered it for him, you know what, why don’t you call that lawyer, what’s his name… Zhou Chenming.”

“Uh… let’s not ask, just leave it be.”

I actually knew in my heart that Jian Jing’s words were probably true.

I was also very clear that the dead cannot come back to life, and my heart was always searching for those slim chances.

This kind of wishful thinking would only drag me deeper and deeper until I could never climb out.

After thinking it over, I decided not to concern myself with it.

Whether it was a coincidence, or something he had arranged with a friend before he passed away, I wasn’t going to pursue it any further.

I needed to steady my own mindset.

While I was arguing with Jian Jing about this, my cellphone began to ring.

It was a call from Jiang Jiaying.

Her cell number flickered on the screen for a while, but in the end, I chose to hang up.

“Uh, why not answer it?”

Jian Jing asked me.

“I don’t want to have anything to do with this woman, don’t feel like answering her calls.”

“What if it’s an emergency?”

“Doesn’t matter, no matter how urgent, I don’t want to deal with it.”

“Fine, anyway, this woman probably isn’t up to any good. Best to ignore her.”

After hanging up on Jian Jing.

My phone rang again, and this time it was Lin Nansheng.

Seeing the familiar cell number, I hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

“Uncle Lin, hello! Is there something you need?”

“Xiaoyun, I’ve been a bit sick these past few days and haven’t had the time to contact you. I’m feeling a bit better today.”

“Uncle Lin, what’s been making you uncomfortable?”

“Ah, it’s just old age, the usual ailments! But you don’t need to worry, I am much better now. Oh yes, I have an event tomorrow morning that I need you to attend, can you make it?”

“I can, I can!”

Lin Nansheng reaching out to me again excited me tremendously.

“Uncle Lin, are the scandals online causing any trouble in your life? Do you need me to come forward to clarify?”

“No need, you don’t have to pay attention to this matter. As the saying goes, the innocent will prove their innocence. You don’t have to bother with it.”

“Okay, now I understand, thank you, Uncle Lin!”

After hanging up with Lin Nansheng, Jian Jing also cheered jubilantly,

“Holy moly! I feel like we’re back in the game! The god of wealth is back, I’m going to burn incense on the mountain.”

At that moment, a familiar figure walked in through the door.

I glanced over and recognized him, it was Ding Yinuo.

Actually, ever since Ding Yinuo and I had settled the divorce agreement, I had rarely taken the initiative to contact him.

Now, if ever there’s a business event that involves his Tianjiao Company, I try to participate as little as possible.

“`

If I can avoid going there, I’d do my best to stay away to spare the awkwardness.

What I didn’t expect was that he would take the initiative to come to our company.

Dressed in a light grey suit, his delicately handsome features, and that noble aura drew side glances from the female colleagues the moment he appeared.

“Uh, Mr. Ding is here.”

Jian Jing’s gaze was complex. She tended to see things simply and patted my shoulder,

“Be rational about this, remember, a good horse doesn’t eat the grass behind it. Don’t let him deceive you again. Men, being good-looking isn’t enough. They need to be faithful. Once unfaithful, it’s over forever.”

“I know!”

As I was talking to Jian Jing, Ding Yinuo had already started walking slowly toward me.

His long legs carried him leisurely until he stood in front of my office.

“Mr. Ding, what brings you here?”

Our eyes met, and I still felt his gaze glacier-cold, filled with indifference and hostility toward me.

Ding Yinuo, with his hands in his pockets, looked around before speaking in a low voice,

“I want to talk to you.”

“Please come in!”

I invited him into my office and brewed a cup of coffee for him, “Do you want sugar?”

Ding Yinuo didn’t take the coffee, his tone distant, “You don’t need to be so diligent for me.”

I used to have some feelings for Ding Yinuo.

Now, his cold words doused the passion I once had for him bit by bit.

Indeed, love can disappear.

I smiled bitterly, putting down the coffee cup, no longer caring whether he wanted sugar or milk.

“So, Mr. Ding, what brings you to me?”

It was then Ding Yinuo straightened up,

“Jiang Jiaying is helping me!”

“Huh? I can see that! I’m not blind!”

“So, please don’t target her. The issues between you and me are our own and have nothing to do with Jiang Jiaying. There’s no need for you to have an issue with her because of me, opposing her at every turn. It’s really tough for her…”

I was drinking coffee when I heard this, and I nearly spat it out.

Ding Yinuo was fiddling with a fine Cartier lighter in his hand, his words cutting deeply.

“She has it tough, do you think I have it easy? Besides, where have I opposed her at every turn? You’re the one with the bias.”

“That business with Director Lin… to tell the truth, Jiang Jiaying didn’t want it. The Jiang Family doesn’t need to do business. Her diligence, all of it, is for me. And you, just to embarrass her, have been resisting and suppressing her in front of Director Lin, making her life miserable, which is truly unnecessary.”

Ding Yinuo’s words struck harder with each sentence. I wanted to stop him, but subconsciously, I wanted to hear more.

I wanted to know how much hurt I could withstand.

Ding Yinuo did not notice my expression and continued to share his troubles.

“My divorce from you had nothing to do with Jiang Jiaying. I purely could not accept that while I was in a vegetative state, you were showing off love with another man, spawning rumors. That was truly unacceptable to me.”

“That incident, actually, there are clues, I think it’s necessary to tell you…”

“No need, don’t make excuses. It’s all in the past now; we’ve divorced, and we can’t go back. If you’re trying to get my attention by competing with Jiang Jiaying here, it’s really unnecessary. I won’t be looking, and I can never fall for you again. I hope you take care of yourself.”

These words from Ding Yinuo were cold and heartless.

How come I feel like I’m back in the days when we used to clash with each other?

I’m overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling.

Moreover, he then said,

“You’d better not force me to take action against you!”

That last line truly caused me ten thousand points of damage.

He actually threatened to take action against me!
