Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 777: Deeply Rooted Feelings (222)
Jun Li flipped over and looked upward, grinning foolishly.
"Dear aunt, are you in your room?"
She sat up, "Yes, what’s up?"
Jun Xiangyi pushed open the door, walked to the bed with a gloomy face, and sat down, "Auntie, I’m done for."
"How are you done for?"
"Everyone knows now that I divorced Xu Mohan. Xu Mohan declared Nan Yuesheng as his legal wife, and I became what people call ’kicked out with a sweep of the broom.’ They’re saying that he chased me away." She kicked her legs, disappointment in her voice, "This time, I’m truly unable to marry again. Where can I find someone who really likes me?"
Seeing her look of despair, Jun Li responded, "While people from all walks of life know your reputation has suffered, aren’t there still many, many people who don’t know? For instance, in the mortal world, who knows who you are and what identity you hold? Does your husband have to be someone extraordinary? Can he not be an ordinary human? As long as he loves you and treats you well, as long as you like him, isn’t that enough?"
Jun Xiangyi felt enlightened, "Aunt... You’re absolutely right."
"So why are you still upset? Hurry up and start looking for your true love, otherwise, your father might decide any day now to find you another match."
"You’re absolutely right, Aunt. It seems I can’t just sit around and wait for death. I need to take the initiative." Jun Xiangyi abruptly stood up, "I’m going to change my clothes and head out."
"Where are you going?"
"Last time we went to Emperor Palace together, I saw quite a few handsome men there. I’m going to try my luck."
Before Jun Li could reply, her figure had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Jun Xiangyi had been awakened. How did she not realize it before? Sure, those who know her know about her tarnished reputation, but wouldn’t it work just fine if she found those who didn’t know her?
With this thought, she felt a newfound motivation.
She opened her wardrobe and purposefully put on her newly bought miniskirt. In the Heavenly World one is not allowed to wear such short skirts, but in the Human World, you can wear whatever you want, can’t you?
Delighted, she put it on, tied her long hair into two twist braids, and happily stepped out in high heels.
When she arrived at Emperor Palace, she had already established a set of standards in her mind.
They must be over 180 cm tall, definitely easy on the eyes, as grotesque appearances just turn her stomach.
They must be gentlemen, healthy, single; their ex-girlfriends cannot exceed two in number, and they absolutely cannot have children!
More importantly, he must genuinely like her!
Those just looking for fun would be sent flying with a punch from her.
After entering Emperor Palace, she did not head for the VIP area first.
Instead, she went to the bustling dance floor area.
It must be said that Jun Xiangyi noticed many men’s gazes rotating around her the moment she stepped in.
Her beauty was an undeniable fact, and for Jun Xiangyi, it was now a matter of discerningly selecting the most eye-catching one from among these men.
Regrettably, no man gave her that standout feeling.
She didn’t drink and found a spot by the railing on the second floor to sit, resting her chin in her hand as she watched the crowd below drink and sing.
Men occasionally came up to chat her up, only to be scolded away by her.
Their appearances were like lopsided pumpkins and split dates; she had no interest in sparing them a second glance.
Just as her gaze continuously swept over the crowd, suddenly, Jun Xiangyi’s eyes caught a figure sitting in a dimly lit corner on the first floor.
It turned out to be Xu Mohan.
Seeing him made her angry.
Picking up a glass of wine, she walked to a spot above where he was.
With her left hand gripping the railing, she raised the glass in her right hand, looked down, and promptly turned the glass over, quickly pouring the drink out of the glass downwards.
