Yun Yiyi had always thought that she had hidden it well. Even when she was having dinner with Ye Haoxuan, he had never seen through her thoughts. For a moment, her heart felt complicated. This was her only secret. She did not know how to feel about Fei Mo knowing this secret. Whenever she was stressed or in pain, she would always eat spicy food,

“I feel like a failure now…”

“Why?”

“Because you figure out my only secret.”

“…”

Yun Yiyi smiled gently at Fei Mo. “It seems like I’ll have to find a new secret to keep to myself now.” She was unaware that very soon she would have a new secret hidden in the depths of her heart.

“Did he treat you very badly?!” Fei Mo tried to ask in a neutral tone.

Yun Yiyi shook her head and took a sip of warm water to moisten her throat. She said with a smile, “No. After we got married, he lived his life, and I lived mine. We don’t interfere with each other’s business.” She did not speak about Gu Jingyan flaunting his mistress, Qiao Feilan, in front of her.

“That’s not a marriage.”

Yun Yiyi nodded. “Indeed. That’s why I wanted a divorce.” A hint of longing could be seen on her face as she rested her chin on one hand and said, “Since I was young I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to grow old with another person. To have someone willing to accompany me to the end of my life… Building a family together, and going through life’s struggles together. We don’t need to be wealthy as long as we have enough. All that matters is being happy and being together…”

Although Fei Mo was a good person, ultimately, theirs was only a marriage of convenience. Their agreement clearly stated they would part ways after five years. She was 28 years old now, 5 years felt like a long time away. She could not wait to regain her freedom and find the man of her dreams.

Fei Mo was stunned. Her words were similar to his thinking. Her face that was filled with expectation for the future looked even more beautiful under the smoke that wafted in the room. Her bright eyes that were brimming with hope seemed to lit up his heart at this moment. He felt as though there was a seed in his heart that was about to sprout at this moment.

Meanwhile, Yun Yiyi who was lost in her thoughts did not notice Fei Mo’s tender gaze. She murmured, “After our agreement comes to an end, I’ll be able to find my life partner…”

Her words were akin to a bucket of cold water being poured over his head. His expression froze immediately. The seed that was about to sprout in his heart seemed to wilt as well. Her words really made his heart feel uncomfortable.

Yun Yiyi who was unaware of the turmoil in Fei Mo’s heart said with a smile, “President Fei, I really like eating here. It’s not just about venting the pain in my heart.”

Fei Mo’s expression was slightly stiff and cold, but he soon regained his composure and nodded indifferently. He could feel the distance between them when she addressed him as President Fei.

She asked conversationally, “What about you? What kind of woman do you like, President Fei?” Since it was rare for him to talk to her, she decided to ask this question. After all, she was also curious why a man his age was not married. Moreover, all of the women whom he went on blind dates with were from good families.

“The Gu family is a wealthy family that many women dream of marrying into, and yet, you gave it up so easily.” Fei Mo changed the topic.

What kind of woman did he like? A straightforward, strong, and elegant woman like her…

Yun Yiyi was slightly startled by his words, She smiled indifferently as she replied, “So what? I don’t care about wealth. There are so many rules and etiquette when you marry into a wealthy family. Most importantly, marrying into a wealthy family doesn’t guarantee love. I’m just an ordinary worker. I’m like Cinderella, but I don’t want to marry an unsuitable prince so I divorced him…” There was also the matter with her family, but there was no need to tell him about her family.

‘Marrying into a wealthy family doesn’t guarantee love…’ These words made Fei Mo’s heart sink further.

Yun Yiyi became chattier. She recalled Gu Jingyan’s expression when he found out about her marriage. It was rather satisfying to watch. “President Fei, did you know I was the one who proposed a divorce? I don’t care for his wealth. Since I have hands and feet, I can rely on myself.” What was so great about wealthy families? She disdained them!

Fei Mo’s expression turned slightly unsightly. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’ll only kill the mood.”

Yun Yiyi smiled. She did not notice his abnormalities since he was always like a block of ice.

“Eat. I’ll put more ingredients into the soup.” She skillfully put the ingredients into the hotpot.

Fei Mo looked at Yun Yiyi expressionlessly. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he did not say a word. The spiciness from earlier still lingered in his mouth… His nose was itchy, his throat was uncomfortable, and even his body was starting to feel unwell. However, every time he saw Yun Yiyi smiling at him, her bright eyes filled with smiles, his mood would be lifted as well.

He silently ate the spicy food she thought was delicious. Although he had never eaten cheap food like this before, for her, he was willing to eat it.

Yun Yiyi looked at Fei Mo. Even when he was eating, his movements were elegant. She was happy when she saw him enjoying the food. Moreover, he did not put on airs and was not difficult to get along with like the rumor said.

If Gu Jingyan were here, he would have scoffed and told her to go to hell.

After interacting with Fei Mo, she thought he was a good man. It would not be bad to have a husband like him.

She was shocked by her thoughts again. She reminded herself three times that they had an agreement and it was just a marriage of convenience. It was said that important things had to be repeated three times. She must not fall in love with him.

“Oh!” Yun Yiyi suddenly exclaimed.

“What’s wrong?” Unlike Yun Yiyi’s face that was flushed red, Fei Mo’s face was becoming paler and paler. The knuckles on his fingers that were gripping the chopstick were deathly white.

“We haven’t ordered drinks yet. Hotpot and cold beer are a perfect match. Do you want some?”

People like him often went to cocktail parties. He should be used to drinking.

“I don’t really drink.”

Yun Yiyi was surprised. “Then, I’ll just get a bottle of cold beer, and we can share it. It goes very well with hotpot.”

Fei Mo frowned. “Do you drink a lot?”

Yun Yiyi, who was about to call for the waiter, looked at Fei Mo, “Yes. How can I not drink in my line of work? Many businesses are conducted over dinner after all. When clients ask me to drink, I’d have to drink. In the past, I drank until I had an ulcer in my stomach. However, what can I do? It’s work, after all. However, after becoming a senior editor, I no longer have to drink as much.”

When Fei Mo heard Yun Yi Yi Yi’s words, a grim expression appeared on his pale face. He grabbed Yun Yiyi’s hand that was waving for the waiter’s attention and said in a tone that brooked no argument, “In the future, you’re not allowed to drink anymore even if it’s for work.”
