Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 657 - 637 How Could I Bear to Divorce You?
The door opened, and the young master might have to punish them.
But if they didn’t listen to the young madam, and once the young madam reconciled with the young master, she could casually whisper into his ear, wouldn’t they end up in the same bad situation?
The two servants finally opened the iron gate.
As the retractable iron gate slowly opened, Jiayi walked out with Zaizai, following the streetlights to the roadside.
Although taxis were rare in this villa area, after waiting for a few minutes, one still arrived.
Jiayi waved it down and opened the back door.
"Where to, miss?" the driver asked, turning around.
"Green Island Garden," she instructed, holding onto Zaizai’s hand and guiding him in first.
Right at that moment, the rumble of an engine starting up broke the quiet of the street.
With a screech of brakes, a black Cayenne stopped right behind the taxi.
The driver’s door was flung open with a "bang" as someone forcefully swung it wide!
A figure radiating an aura of thundering authority strode out from inside and walked straight up to the taxi, scooped up Zaizai from the back seat in one arm, then stared intently at Jiayi with dark, heavy eyes.
Jiayi had anticipated his return but didn’t expect it to be so soon; she faced the man’s angry gaze without surprise.
"Hey, what’s going on? Are you taking the taxi or not?" the driver shouted.
"Scram!" His mood was terrible, and not even the emperor would get a good word from him; he slammed the car door with such force that its echo reverberated down the empty road.
The driver gasped and watched as the formidable man yanked the small woman by her wrist and walked back towards the villa area.
At the entrance to the villa, Auntie Li was scolding a few servants for not stopping the young madam. Upon seeing the young master coming back with the little young master and the young madam, she beamed with joy and hurriedly instructed people to open the door.
Jiayi was held tightly by him until they reached the second floor and entered the bedroom. Only then did he put down Zaizai and said with a cold gleam in his eyes, "Go to your room and sleep."
Zaizai, reassured by his daddy’s return, quietly closed the door and scurried on his little chubby legs back to his room.
After seeing Zaizai leave, he turned around, looked at Jiayi, and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "Going back to your parents’ house?"
Jiayi lifted her lips slightly, "It’s okay, Zaizai and I aren’t leaving today."
The implication was that the next time he wasn’t around, she would make another attempt?
Now she was acting so brazen. As Mrs. Huo, not even the servants at home dared disobey her.
Huo Zhenyang’s face turned cold, "Auntie Li, run the bath!"
Auntie Li, fearing that a confrontation would erupt between them as soon as the young master returned, had been keeping her eye on the situation from around the corner on the second-floor staircase. Hearing the young master’s shout, relieved he had stayed, she hurried into the bedroom and went to start the bath.
While he was in the shower, Jiayi sat by the bed, although she had intentionally provoked him to come back, she felt somewhat nervous now.
It was clear, he had not yet let go of his anger towards her.
Perhaps any man in this situation would be hard-pressed to remain calm.
This time, every one of her actions had touched upon something he considered inviolable.
Listening to the sound of pouring water in the bathroom, she didn’t know what to do once he came out, her fingers involuntarily curling up.
With a "creak," the bathroom door opened.
She snapped back to reality and lifted her head to see him in a white bathrobe, stepping out of the bathroom into the bedroom.
He hadn’t expected her to be sitting quietly on the bed waiting for him. His eyes briefly showed a flicker of emotion, which quickly returned to coldness.
A few seconds later, he walked over to the bedside.
When they were only a few centimeters apart, he stopped in his tracks.
Having not seen each other for several days, the close proximity, his faint scent of ambergris, and the dust and grime from the road made her heartbeat quicken unexpectedly.
Coming to her senses, she stood up to give him space, "Auntie Li has made the bed. You go to sleep first."
After a silence, he spoke, "I’m going to the study."
He still wasn’t accepting her goodwill.
She saw him turn around, walking towards the door, and she bit her lip, "Huo Zhenyang, since you’re so angry, let’s get a divorce!"
She hated this feeling of cold war!
Hadn’t she already explained the situation with Nie Yixiao to him?
What more did he want from her?
Divorce? His silhouette stalled for a moment, his lips curling into a smile, just a few days into their marriage, and this little woman had already mentioned divorce countless times.
If she truly valued their marriage, truly wanted to have a good life with him, would she casually bring up divorce?
In her eyes, their marriage was indeed nothing but a trifle, trivial and dispensable!
She was still thinking about running away at every opportunity!
Only because of Zaizai was she begrudgingly bound in his arms.
Otherwise, she would be running to Nie Yixiao in a matter of minutes.
Seeing that he had stopped, Jiayi hardly noticed the sigh of relief she exhaled. Before she could react, he had already turned around, striding back, and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against his chest.
His eyes dark and piercing as he stared at the little woman in his arms, "Want to divorce so soon after getting married? Even if you’re just playing the role of a good wife and mother, you’ll continue to play it for me. Darling, the news of you going to the market to buy ingredients to cook soup is still hot. My image as the mayor still needs you to mold it. How could I bear to divorce you?"
With that, he let go, slipping his hand from her waist, and continued walking towards the door.
She stumbled and fell back onto the bed, watching motionlessly as the man left for the study in a huff.

Zaizai had thought that everything would be fine between Mommy and Daddy now that he was home, but he realized that the two were still not talking to each other, and that Daddy went straight to the study to work every day after coming home, and slept there late into the night.
The atmosphere between the two was tense and bitterly cold.
Evening at the Huo Mansion.
Before dusk fell, the driver brought Zaizai back from kindergarten.
Seeing that the young master had returned, Auntie Li and the maids finished preparing the meal and brought it up.
Jiayi spent the entire day at the F. Wang bridal shop; it was the busy season for the shop, not only the wedding season but also because they had taken several orders for evening gowns, and were very busy.
Watching the shop bustling, Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief; perhaps this way, she could naturally use work to temporarily forget about the current stalemate with a certain person.
The store manager was surprised to see the boss’s lady coming in just a week after getting married and advised Jiayi to go enjoy her honeymoon. Jiayi smiled and said it was nothing.
A young employee next to the store manager also jokingly advised, "Yeah, Mrs. Boss should go back first. If Mr. Huo finds out that the bride is working in the store at this hour, he’ll definitely blame us."
Her smile imperceptibly stiffened.
The older store manager noticed something amiss and glared at the employee beside her. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The two didn’t dare say anything more.
Choosing the right dresses according to customer requests, checking order forms, sending pictures to clients, and once the client agreed, they could send the sample garment to the nearby clothing factory to be rushed... After a day’s work, Jiayi was so tired she felt like her bones were falling apart, and only then did she greet the manager and return to the villa.
Back at the villa, Jiayi was nestling on the sofa, resting while working on a jigsaw puzzle model, and only when Auntie Li called for dinner did she put down the model and lead Zaizai down.
