Knowing he didn't love her, she decided to stop clinging. The day she moved out of their marital home, he stood upstairs, smoking and sneering. Someone asked, "Aren't you going to win your wife back?" He scoffed, "Win her back? Even if the sky falls, she wouldn't dare divorce me. Do you think the sky will fall?"

    Highly recommend these three books with great male lead misunderstanding tropes! "After Elopeing with His Childhood Sweetheart, the Rough-Hearted Chief is Driven Crazy" is set in a historical period, where a rough-hearted chief goes through a heart-wrenching chase after his wife due to a misunderstanding—it's both sweet and angsty. "My Wife Wants to Abandon Her Husband and Children? Then I'll Love Her Until She's Afraid" is a palace intrigue/domestic power struggle where the male lead misunderstands the female lead's feelings and uses extreme possessiveness to win her back—it's thrilling and exciting. "Amnesia Before the Divorce: Mistakenly Taking My Sickly Husband for a Puppy" features a brilliant amnesia trope where a sickly husband is mistaken for a puppy, leading to a sweet and crazy pursuit. All three books play the misunderstanding trope in creative ways, making them easy to read and addictive!

Now the company has a wide range of businesses, mainly in medical testing and equipment. We have many properties in this area, so finding connections and getting help for the villa isn't difficult for me."

But your family background is extraordinary, too different from mine. I'm afraid my family can't handle it. We... Are not suitable." Yu Xin began to recall with some emotion, "Secondly, there's a reason why I hate capitalists. Two years ago, my mother was sick and urgently needed an imported medical device, but those capitalists were inflating prices. Since then, I've known that capitalists only care about profit, even if it's a matter of life and death. So at that time, I secretly resolved never... To have anything to do with capitalists."

Your concerns are valid. If you had stated from the beginning that you were a member of the Yu family, I definitely wouldn't have associated with you." Yu Hui was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Yu Xin, and said: "Xin Xin, I will strive to be a socially responsible entrepreneur. I know you have opinions about capitalists, but I will change your opinion of us by giving back to society. Most importantly, I want you to see that I am serious about you!" Yu Xin continued: "Yu Hui, don't talk about sincerity yet. Think about it: can we... Overcome the huge gap in our family status? Can your family accept an ordinary person like me? There are so many obstacles between us!" "Xin Xin, you don't need to think about those things. Leave it to me. I only need you. As long as you are by my side, I am satisfied! Try to trust me, okay?" In his desperation, Yu Hui grabbed Yu Xin's arm. Yu Xin gently shook off Yu Hui's hand. She had made up her mind: "I don't want to prove myself so painstakingly. I just want a simple life. Also, my parents can stay with me for now; no need for you to trouble yourself, Young Master Yu." Hearing Yu Xin almost vent by calling him "Young Master Yu," Yu Hui knew she was angry with him for not revealing his true identity. Yu Hui wanted to try and win her back. Looking at Yu Xin before him, he felt a sense of loss for the first time. Born into a prestigious family, he had never imagined there was anything he couldn't have. Thinking this, he pulled Yu Xin tightly into his arms. Yu Xin lost her balance and fell into Yu Hui's broad embrace. Yu Xin was startled at first, then tried to push him away with her hands. But the man opposite her was as steady as a wall; she tried to back away several times, but he didn't budge. Yu Hui held her with all his might, refusing to let go, as if in doing so, Yu Xin would become his. Yu Xin tried to push him away, but Yu Hui's slightly hoarse voice reached her ears: "Xin Xin, I was wrong. I never imagined my identity would be the biggest obstacle between us. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. Don't reject me. I'll give you all my assets! I'll work for you for the rest of my life! Okay? Don't leave me..." Time seemed to stand still for a century. Yu Xin broke free from Yu Hui's embrace and whispered, "Yu Hui, let's calm down for a while." Yu Hui quickly reached out to grab Yu Xin's arm, but she moved away from his reach first. Yu Hui was heartbroken, his long fingers hanging in the air, awkward and lonely. At that moment, he felt like an abandoned child. Yu Xin got up, grabbed her bag, paid the bill, and finally walked out of the coffee shop in her high heels. Yu Hui didn't follow her. He knew she was under too much of a shock, and he needed to give her time to process it. Because you can only love as much as you know, and Yu Xin didn't understand him enough. He believed that as long as he gave her enough love, nothing could stop her.

    🫐🌈① "Brother Shen, if you really go through with this marriage, what about that cousin? After all, her pursuit of you is known throughout the city. I thought you would consider her reputation and marry her." Shen Huaixu: "Her feelings are one-sided, what does it have to do with me?" "She's been pursuing you for so many years, haven't you ever felt a spark of attraction?" After a long silence... Two cold words drifted into Song Yaochu's ears, "No." "I despise women who throw themselves at me!" It was like killing someone's heart; three years of devotion only earned her a single word of "despise." She couldn't possibly be worthy of the aloof prince, so she decisively gave up, avoiding him like the plague. Later, Song Yaochu ran away. When they met again, she was chatting happily with a man, discussing marriage. Shen Huaixu shed his facade of self-restraint and went completely mad. He gripped her slender waist, kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his smile sinister: "Chu Chu, if you don't want him to die, be good." "You provoked me first, and now you want to abandon me? Too late."
