Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 768: Love Rooted Deep (213)

The two children, chastened by their dad, dared not utter a single word of protest and obediently went upstairs.

Xu Mohan rarely smiled, "You’re so serious, aren’t you afraid that Lili will come back and throw a tantrum at you?"

"Who said I’m serious?" He refused to admit it, "I have always been amiable."

"Deceiving yourself." Xu Mohan raised an eyebrow, "I need to visit Father tonight and mention elevating Sheng’er to legal wife status."

"If it wasn’t for Jun Xiangyi initiating the divorce, I’m afraid the Heavenly King still wouldn’t have allowed you to divorce," Long Yubei spoke, "You should still thank her for not continuing to drag this out with you."

"Originally, I wasn’t her true match; it’s better for her to divorce and find someone better early on," Xu Mohan said with some emotion, "At first, Sheng’er and I weren’t together. It was only because my father wanted to betroth me to Jun Xiangyi that I thought of this method to make my father call off the marriage and not choose me. I didn’t expect to end up marrying her after all that."

"When did the two of you get together?"

"Some time before the wedding, we had feelings for each other but weren’t together. On the night of the wedding, when you brought her to the ceremony, that night was when I first broke through that layer of pretense, telling her I had fallen for her."

No sooner had he spoken these words than Jun Xiangyi came in, her face cold, along with Jun Li.

Seeing this, Xu Mohan really tensed up; they must have heard what he had just said.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

"Xu Mohan," Jun Xiangyi walked up to him, bowed slightly, and looked him in the eye, "If I didn’t mishear just now, you breached that barrier and confessed your love for Nan Yuesheng on the night of our wedding, and you two only became a couple after our marriage. So what right do you have to question me, claiming the woman you love is a concubine and that the position of legal wife should have been hers? Acting as if I tore you two apart, pinning false charges on me? If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears today, I might truly believe that my choosing you was a hindrance to her becoming your wife. Considering I married you first and you got together with her later, isn’t it only right that she became your concubine? Allowing you to marry her was entirely my generosity!!!!"

This tirade had left Jun Xiangyi’s eyes burning red with anger, so much that she wished she could slap Xu Mohan twice.

"Now that there’s no relation between us, indeed I was interested in her before marrying you. If not for your interference, I would have married her."

"So according to you, it’s my fault?" Jun Xiangyi stood up straight and looked at him, "Indeed, it is my fault. I was blind to choose you. Throughout the years of our marriage, you’ve never even given me a proper look. I might not have the best reputation, but I am still a decent woman from a reputable family, the daughter of the Heavenly King. Yet to you, I’m worth nothing, while her, a common woman who has been with another man, is a prized treasure to you. Xu Mohan, that’s all you amount to!"

Without waiting for Xu Mohan to speak, she turned and headed for the door.

"Jun Xiangyi!"

She stopped and turned back, "What?!"

"Don’t trouble Sheng’er."

Jun Xiangyi was so infuriated she felt pain in her chest. She didn’t continue walking out but instead spun around to stand in front of Xu Mohan again, raising her hand to slap him, but he caught her wrist.

In that moment, Jun Xiangyi’s other hand continued its arc towards his face.

A sharp slap echoed through the silent living room.
