"In fact, leaving you is a relief to me. You change a woman from time to time and I have to sort it out for you. It's too tiring. Let Leila do it. " Then she let out a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of this, I really miss you. You are not jealous of me, but you can help me solve my worries. Leila is just like a jealousy jar. I can't even have a good time with a woman. If I knew she was so annoying, I would not marry her. " He looked agitated.
"Why would she be jealous if she doesn't love and care about you? I don't love you and I don't care about you, so I was not jealous." "People thought that we loved each other. But it was just an illusion. We got what we wanted when we were together. We didn't love each other at all," she continued in a mocking tone.
"But we were good at acting. They thought we were a perfect couple." Said Zac, who wore a forced smile on his face.
"Yes, that's true. I left for the United States because the matter of Valery was settled. Since the matter had been settled, there is no need to make use of each other anymore. I thought that I would never come back again. I didn't expect that something would happen to the Xu family. " She took a sip of the red wine.
"So you need me again." A deep smile flitted across Zac's handsome face.
"Don't you need me? Our Xu's Group is the largest partner of the Rong's Group. It's the best for you that I'm in charge of the Xu's Group. If it was another person who is in charge of the company, it's hard to say whether the partnership with Xu's Group will be broken up one day. " Essie slowly said.
"For me, family interests have always been the most important thing. No one can be compared with anything." Zac held up the wine glass in front of him. "Today I apologized to you for the bad behavior of my wife. I will definitely teach her well in the future. You are so kind and please don't take it too seriously. It has a bad influence on our cooperation." After that, he drained the cup with one gulp.
Essie smirked, giving out a malicious smile. "If I was killed by her, the Xu family would fall into the hands of Elizabeth. This is extremely disadvantageous to the Rong family. By that time, she will be the biggest sinner in the Rong family. I'm afraid that even you, the future governor, will be implicated. It was in violation of the first regulation of the seven prominent figures of the Rong family, which meant that Leila would be forced to divorce you and be expelled from the Rong family. You won't intercede for her unless you give up the position of the chief, will you? "
Zac sneered. "Do you need me to answer this question? I won't allow such a woman to destroy my family! "
"So she should be grateful that I'm still alive, or she would be the second unlucky person. Besides, her cousin is chasing after me. If I was killed by her. He must hate her to death. As the future head of the Qin family, he must hate her and try to get her out of this family. What a miserable ending it will be if she is kicked out by Rong family and can't return to Qin family. " Essie said and sighed heavily, as if she was sympathizing with some woman who might have suffered a lot.
Behind the screen, Leila was taken aback and shivered.
There was no love between them. They just took what they needed. Was it a political marriage?
She didn't believe a single word from Zac when he said to her the other day that he had saved Essie for the sake of the Rong family. Today, she had heard it in person and she had no choice but to believe it.
It was indeed a good thing to have lost her rival in love. She should have celebrated it.
So she poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip happily.
Outside the screen, the waiters served the dishes one by one.
"It's a Michelin starred restaurant. The food here is delicious. You know, it's delicious."
Zac was eating gentlemen, in stark contrast to her preying. He looked at her in the opposite and frowned. "You know what, I'm very relaxed after divorcing you, because I don't have to bear your rough behaviors anymore. Look at you, you can't eat well or sit well, nor sleep well. I have put up with you for a long time. "
"You are no better than me. You are a womanizer. Every day you come back, you are wearing a different perfume. I feel sick when I smell you. What makes me most disgusted is that you are a hypocrite. " Essie said and spat.
"Very good. In addition to business, we should not meet each other, otherwise, we will be annoyed by each other." Zac said rather rudely.
"It's a deal. Don't meet each other even if you want to talk about cooperation. Don't show up in person if the secretary can replace you. It will pollute the eyes of both of us!"
Behind the screen, Leila went mad with joy. If she was not afraid of being get caught, she must have stood up and laughed loudly!
However, it was too early for her to be happy, and she would not be as happy as she was in the following.
On the dining table, the aura of silence maintained for a long time. When they were almost full, Essie finally spoke.
"Icy guy, do you really fall in love with Landis?"
"How could you know?" Zac didn't deny it at all.
"We have shared the same bed for so long. How could I not know you?" She paused and took a sip of the soup. "If it is just a show, you should dump her when she had an abortion. But now, you not only haven't kicked her away, but also cherish her even more. Do you really love her? You never pay much attention to women. You never know what they like or what they don't. However, you remembered everything about Landis, including her favorite color. She must be the first woman you love, right? "
"You are truly my wife. You see through me." Zac wore a low smile, seeming to acquiesce in it.
"You and I were a couple. You don't know which color I like and which color I hate the most, do you?"
