Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Married and Can Divorce
Yuan Xi had washed off the coffee scent from her body and changed her clothes when she happened to encounter the chef downstairs packing the finished dishes into insulated food containers.
Yuan Xi said to the auntie who was about to deliver the meal, “Give me the food container, I’ll deliver it.”
Yuan Xi then made a trip to Shixi headquarters.
She didn’t know if it was due to a lack of sleep, or because she was preoccupied with Bo Chi’s situation, but even after drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, she still couldn’t concentrate.
Shixi headquarters possessed an entire building, and as soon as Yuan Xi entered the lobby, she felt the busyness, which seemed more relaxed compared to the high intensity of a financial company like Mi Chen.
Even though it was already lunchtime, the employees here seemed to still be busy.
Huo Shiyuan’s office occupied half a floor all to itself, with the outside area housing an open secretary department.
Unlike Mi Chen’s secretary office, which was comprised of a group of girls, the majority of Huo Shiyuan’s secretarial department were boys, with only one secretary serving clients being a girl.
“Hello, may I ask you…”
The girl walked up to the elevator, somewhat surprised to see someone coming out of the CEO’s private elevator.
“You are… the CEO’s wife!”
This secretary’s shout made all the secretarial staff turn their heads towards Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “Just call me Yuan Xi.”
The secretary respectfully led Yuan Xi to the office, saying, “Chairman Yuan, President Huo’s office is here, what would you like to drink?”
Yuan Xi gently smiled and kindly replied, “No need, thank you.”
Yuan Xi knocked on the door of Huo Shiyuan’s office, and on hearing the knock, Huo Shiyuan, who was looking at documents, said without lifting his head, “Come in!”
Yuan Xi opened the door and entered the office, seeing Huo Shiyuan signing documents. Behind him was a large floor-to-ceiling glass that overlooked the entire financial center of A-city.
Yuan Xi walked over to Huo Shiyuan, noticing one wall of his office was covered with her photos.
There were also two pictures of the children.
Huo Shiyuan looked up and saw Yuan Xi in front of him, stood up with surprise, and hugged her, “How come you’re here?”
Yuan Xi raised the food container she was holding, “I came to bring you lunch.”
Huo Shiyuan asked, “Aren’t you at work today?”
Yuan Xi replied, “I just saw Mi Yi, and I’ve been distracted, feeling like something is about to happen. It’s not a good feeling.”
Yuan Xi put down the food container, “Shall we eat in the lounge inside?”
Shiyan agreed, “Okay.”
Huo Shiyuan’s lounge was an exquisitely decorated suite, and Yuan Xi took out the dishes from the insulated food container.
Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi, “Have you eaten yet?”
Yuan Xi shook her head, “I have no appetite.”
“You have your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today,” Huo Shiyuan said. “Join me for a bit.”
Yuan Xi truly had no appetite. She saw a message from Sister Mi Yi on her phone and frowned, “Sister Mi Yi has asked me to meet her at Yunfei Private Airport, claiming to have evidence about Bo Chi’s money laundering.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Yunfei Private Airport is owned by the Fu Family, or more accurately, it used to be owned by the Qian Family before being acquired by the Fu Family. Mi Yi has been placed under risk control; she can’t use a plane to leave A-city.”
Yuan Xi decided, “Then I won’t go see Mi Yi.”
Yuan Xi had a bad feeling and she would never let herself fall into danger; call her timid or careful, but as a mother of two children, she definitely did not want anything to happen to herself.
Huo Shiyuan offered Yuan Xi a piece of rib, saying, “Have a bite, you’ve gotten thinner and thinner since the child was born.”
Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “That’s because I gained quite a bit during pregnancy, and it wasn’t easy to slim down after adjusting my diet. You eat; just watching you eat is enough for me.”
Huo Shiyuan didn’t force Yuan Xi to eat. His phone vibrated. Huo Shiyuan pressed the speakerphone button to answer the call, and Xiao Yun’s voice came through.
“Old Sir Bao is not doing well, his medical team said it might be a matter of days now, and his last wish should be to return to Jiang City for his final rest.”
“Just now, Bo Chi went to Yunfei Airport, and Mi Yi was nowhere in sight. Bo Chi is quite cunning, probably prompted by someone. It’s hard to stop him from leaving the country now, so we can only let him go. But I think Old Sir Bao will definitely make Bo Chi come back to the country again. Bo Chi is quite conceited…”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Let Bo Chi leave.”
Yuan Xi frowned, “What if Bo Chi never comes back?”
Huo Shiyuan responded, “Once Bo Chi leaves this time, he will definitely come back. Old Sir Bao doesn’t just have Bo Chi as a grandson. It’s almost impossible for Bo Chi to fulfill Old Sir Bao’s last wish to return to the country and get Old Sir Bao’s men to accept him as the heir.”
Yuan Xi pressed her twitching right eyelid and the throbbing right side of her head.
“Headache?” Huo Shiyuan asked, “Is it because I set the air conditioning too low, did your confinement not go well, is that why your head hurts?”
Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “My confinement went quite well, perhaps I just didn’t sleep well last night. I’m going to take a nap back at Yunsen Court later, won’t go to the office today.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Just sleep here.”
Yuan Xi replied, “No, what would the secretary outside think of us if she knew I was napping in your office?”
Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “We are husband and wife after all, let them think whatever. Just sleep here.”
Yuan Xi, who was really suffering from a headache and eye twitch, then lay down in the rest area.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, until Liang Suisui’s video call came through.
Liang Suisui was handcuffed and shackled on a private plane, likely sedated, as she was in an unconscious state.
Yuan Xi immediately woke up from her drowsiness, not believing that this was a dream, “Suisui!”
Bo Chi’s face appeared on the phone screen, “Xiao Xi, come to Yunfei Airport, I won’t harm Liang Suisui or you. My grandfather is dying, and the thing he’s most concerned about is that I haven’t married yet. I want you to accompany me and let my grandfather meet his granddaughter-in-law.”

Yuan Xi frowned, “I’m already married.”
Bo Chi responded, “Married can be divorced, I don’t think I’m worse than Huo Shiyuan…”
Bo Chi held Liang Suisui’s wrist, bringing her wrist tied with a red string close to the camera, “I just want my grandfather to see you one last time.”
Seeing Liang Suisui unconscious, Yuan Xi recognized the red string on her hand, confirming it was undoubtedly Liang Suisui.
“Don’t harm Suisui, I’m coming to Yunfei Airport right now.”
Bo Chi chuckled, “The plane will take off in forty minutes; once there at Applaud Island, I will treat your friend well with special products from Applaud Island.”
Applaud Island was a famous region for leaf cultivation. Yuan Xi hurriedly got up, “I’ll be right there.”
Yuan Xi hung up the phone and went to find Huo Shiyuan.
The secretary who had just tended to her, seeing Yuan Xi’s disheveled, just-woke-up appearance, said, “President Huo is in a meeting inside the conference room.”
Yuan Xi said, “Quickly take me there.”
Yuan Xi took the elevator to the conference room and, regardless of Shixi executives having a meeting, she knocked and entered, “Shiyan, Suisui is in trouble!”
The only one daring to spin a pen during the meeting next to Huo Shiyuan, Ye Huan, stopped spinning, “What happened?”
“Bo Chi wants me to accompany him for his grandfather’s last journey, and he’s taken Liang Suisui to his plane, telling me to get there within forty minutes.”
Yuan Xi held Huo Shiyuan’s hand, “He promised he won’t harm me, Shiyan, I can’t just ignore Suisui, so I have to go!”
