Hai Zhiyuan questioned curiously, âDoes Ayu really want to get a divorce?â
âYes! We both want it.â
âIf he wants it, why did he come to see you as soon as he got back? I donât think he is so eager.â
âHe probably came to get my signature, we had already agreed that he would sign as soon as he got back.â Hai Xiaotang confidently asserted.
The old man lapsed into a moment of reflective silence, âLetâs wait until he wakes up.â
âIâll wake him now!â
âAyu hasnât rested much these past few days, let him sleep a bit more,â the old man admonished.
âOh.â
Sheâll just let him rest enough then, she was quite generous about it.
âGo prepare dinner, Ayu will be eating here tonight, have the kitchen prepare some delicious dishes,â the old man instructed her again.
Hai Xiaotang didnât refuse, she went to the kitchen to help.
She couldnât cook, but she knew exactly what Dongfang Yu liked to eat.
Probably their last dinner together, Hai Xiaotang happily ordered lots of Dongfang Yuâs favorite dishes.
As expected, Dongfang Yu slept until late.
He even used Hai Xiaotangâs bathroom to shower.
Seeing as they were getting divorced tonight, Hai Xiaotang decided not to argue about these small things.
The dinner was quite lavish.
Hai Zhiyuan greeted Dongfang Yu with a smile, âAyu, Iâm not sure if this food suits your tastes, I donât know what you like to eat, all this was prepared under Xiaotangâs instructions.â
Dongfang Yu scanned the dishes and chuckled, âI love most of these.â
âReally? Ha ha, Xiaotang knows your tastes well. Eat more, all of this is her goodwill.â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
That was not her goodwill!
Dongfang Yu gave a meaningful look at Hai Xiaotang from across the table, and then took a bite.
âThe taste is excellent, very delicious,â he praised.
Hai Zhiyuan was even happier, âIf itâs good, eat more. Come, have a drink with your grandfather first.â
â Sure.â Dongfang Yu picked up his wine glass and started drinking with the old man.
It seems that among men, as long as thereâs alcohol, the atmosphere stays lively.
The two chatted while eating, covering many topics, but no word on the divorce.
Hai Xiaotang was anxiously listening.
However, seeing her grandfather in high spirits, she didnât have the heart to interrupt.
Oh well, they could discuss it after dinner. Talking about a divorce at the dinner table indeed seemed a bit off-putting.
Dinner was finally done, and the old man suggested they go to the living room for tea.
Hai Xiaotang thought to herself, now it should be time to address the divorce.
Indeed, as soon as they settled down in the living room, the old man broached the topic, âAyu, I am technically overstepping my bounds by asking this, but as your elder, I would not be at peace without asking. Did something happen between you and Xiaotang on your trip to New York?â
After a momentâs silence, Dongfang Yu admitted, âYes, something did happen, and it was my fault.â
âWhat happened?â the old man pursued.
Instead of responding, Dongfang Yu reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a jewelry box.
He handed the box to Hai Xiaotang, âThis is for you.â
Hai Xiaotang was baffled, âWhat is it?â
âOpen it and see.â
Unaware of what was inside and unsure of his intentions, Hai Xiaotang accepted the box, opened it with a puzzled look.
Inside was an undeniably large diamond ring!
The diamond ring looked incredibly valuable at first glance.
Startled, Hai Xiaotang asked, âWhy are you giving me this?â
Dongfang Yu smiled and said, âI promised to take you to the bidding event but failed to do so. This is my apology for breaking my word, and a reward for your hard work this time.â
After a pause, he added, âI hope youâre not angry anymore and can forgive my mistake this time.â
