Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 851: Deeply Rooted Love (296)

"Just consider it as giving you gas money for letting me ride back in your car."

"Alright, let’s go."

Back when they arrived, Jun Xiangyi only had one umbrella in the car, so the two of them shared it as they walked.

For some reason, as Jun Xiangyi walked beside him, a sense of nervousness welled up in her heart.

She glanced up at him; under the dim lights, his features appeared and disappeared.

Once, he was her husband—a nominal relationship that lacked substance.

During that marriage, she never shared an umbrella with him like this.

But after the divorce, she got this chance.

She got in the driver’s seat, and after closing the car door for her, he went over to the passenger seat.

Jun Xiangyi casually turned on the music box, started the engine, and drove away from there.

The car was filled with silence.

Only the music softly played:

A beautiful day,

Why did you leave me?

In another way,

Nothing was said.

The beautiful memories we had,

Now will never come back.

I cannot predict,

Our parting came just like this.

Came so easily,

We once shared joys and sorrows,

And now we can only part like this.

...

Xu Mohan leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, with the melancholic music filling his ears.

The two had very little exchange on the way until they came across an accident of a truck and a sedan blocking the road completely.

The car got trapped there.

Another driver waiting in line called the police.

In this situation, using mana to move the car aside wouldn’t be appropriate.

It would be bad if anything unusual appeared in front of everyone.

Since it was an accident, the sedan was entirely crushed under the truck, with seemingly no chance of survival, and they had to wait for the police to investigate the scene.

So the car had to pause there.

At this time, Nan Yuesheng called Xu Mohan.

Ever since the last time Nan Yuesheng shared an ID to track his whereabouts, Xu Mohan canceled that.

"I’ll be back in just over half an hour."

Nan Yuesheng heard music from his side, "Where are you?"

"We’ll talk when I get back."

Then he hung up the phone.

Jun Xiangyi, bored, watched a livestream on her phone.

Women usually watch men during live broadcasts.

She randomly found a guy livestreaming a hair wash.

Xu Mohan saw her engrossed in it, "He’s so ugly, what’s there to watch?"

"He might not be as good-looking as you, but in the mortal world, he’s considered a little handsome guy, right?" Jun Xiangyi said self-mockingly, "Only in front of people who don’t know me, is it easier to be liked by others. Unfortunately, the Five Realms prohibit any marriage or romance with the Human World, even this right was taken from me. You really hit the lucky time; if you tried marrying Nan Yuesheng now, it wouldn’t work at all. When are you planning for a second child?"

"Never thought about it."

"Your genes are so excellent; the boss didn’t inherit them. You’d feel it’s a loss if you don’t try again, right?"

"Right now, one feels just fine."

Jun Xiangyi turned off the livestream on her phone and looked at him.

Feeling her gaze, Xu Mohan turned to look at her too.

"You know, when you’re not disgusted by me and don’t give me a stern look, you’re quite charming..."

Jun Xiangyi withdrew her gaze, a shadow of melancholy in her eyes.

...

As they drove back into the city, once they entered the Qin Garden neighborhood, Jun Xiangyi saw Nan Yuesheng standing at the entrance.

She reached out her right hand to push down on the back of Xu Mohan’s head, forcing him to bend down, "If she sees us, there’ll be another misunderstanding."
