My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 How Did You Find Out

Jiang Zhe did not answer as he continued to order food. “If you’re not ordering, I’ll decide on all the dishes. Don’t get upset if you don’t like what I ordered.”

He called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes. Yu Xiang could not understand how Jiang Zhe could behave as if nothing had happened.

Is he so benevolent that he doesn’t care about people using and betraying him? That is impossible since he is no saint.

Jiang Zhe finished ordering and stood up. “You don’t have to order alcohol. Mr. Chen gave me a bottle of good wine which I hadn’t opened yet. It’s in my car. I’ll go and get it now.”

Yu Xiang could not take it anymore. “Jiang Zhe, sit down. If you don’t say things clearly, do you think I’ll be able to eat?”

“There’s no rush. Let’s talk about it later on. It’s just a small matter, so there’s no need to be that impatient, Yu Xiang.”

Yu Xiang could not believe it. How is this a small matter? How is putting a listening device on him to obtain a trade secret a small thing? Does he really not care because he is a magnanimous person?

After a while, Jiang Zhe brought the wine. He let the waiter open it and poured it into a decanter.

“Take off your watch. I feel uncomfortable looking at it.” Yu Xiang brought up the watch again.

Jiang Zhe shook the watch. “I think it looks nice. If the listening device is switched off, it is a normal watch. Also, this listening device is limited by distance. If I’m far away from you, you won’t be able to hear anything unless you get someone to follow me. Thus, I’ll treat it as a normal watch. Naturally, I have to treasure it since you gave it to me.”

“Jiang Zhe, if you want to curse at me, you can just do it. Don’t be like this. You’re making me feel very upset. I know I’m in the wrong. I don’t dare to wish for your forgiveness, but please don’t torture me like this.”

“Yu Xiang, you graduated earlier than me. Didn’t you enter the business world two years earlier than me?” Jiang Zhe asked.

Yu Xiang remained silent as she looked at Jiang Zhe. She did not know what he was thinking or what he meant.

“The business world is like a battlefield. We’re merely serving different interests. This is perfectly normal. It is not uncommon for us to use unconventional means to further our own agenda. I’m not going to hide it from you that I have used such means too. I already guessed there was something fishy when you were so friendly to me after so many years of not seeing each other. Rather than saying you were using me, let’s say we were using each other. Presently, I’m the one who has gotten an advantage, so there’s no need for you to feel bad. This is a normal thing, and it’s already in the past. We don’t have to bring it up again.”

With that, he poured himself a drink before continuing, “Yu Xiang, let’s count this moment as us finally reuniting again. It’s been years. I’m delighted to see you again.”

Yu Xiang stared at Jiang Zhe, taken aback and unable to respond.

She had predicted Jiang Zhe would start cursing at her once he met her.

Then, she would pretend to act helpless and say that her boss forced her to do so before trying to make Jiang Zhe get over it.

However, Jiang Zhe did not take it to heart at all. She did not even need to say anything, and he had already let it go.

It seemed that Yu Xiang was still the same person she was after so many years. Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, had changed considerably since then.

No matter how she looked at it, Yu Xiang felt that she had lost completely.

“Do you really not mind?”

“It’s not that I don’t mind. It’s that this is a normal thing. Would you blame me for using you instead? If that’s the case, let me drink three glasses as a punishment. No, let me drink one instead. If it’s three glasses, I might get drunk.”

Yu Xiang chuckled at that. She looked very pretty when she smiled.

Seeing that, Jiang Zhe smiled too. Yu Xiang’s smile still looks the same as before. She’s still the Yu Xiang I like, only that she has become more complicated. However, that’s normal. Everyone grows up and becomes more complex.

“Here’s my toast to you. This is my fault. I’ll not do this again.”

Yu Xiang seemed sincere. However, Jiang Zhe could not discern its authenticity.

Nevertheless, it was not significant. He only wanted to spend this moment with her delightfully.

“Don’t mention it. I’ve already said let bygones be bygones,” Jiang Zhe said calmly.

“I didn’t know you would be so magnanimous. I must thank you as I feel embarrassed for my actions,” Yu Xiang replied.

“I’m not magnanimous. I only think it was normal. Yu Xiang, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

“Sure. Then, let’s talk about you. Where’s your girlfriend? She must be beautiful.”

Jiang Zhe smiled. “I don’t have one currently. I had a few in the past, but all those relationships ended in breakups.”

“They must have been blind. You’re such a good prospect, so you will definitely find a better person to be with.”

Jiang Zhe grinned. “Then, why don’t you introduce someone to me?”

Yu Xiang froze. “Sure, but you’re too well-rounded. You might not like them. What type are you looking for?”

She assumed that Jiang Zhe would reply along the lines of “someone like you.”
